  Speaker 5: of these custom T shirts that they made where he's
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: looking like an idiot, so par for the course. But
• 1:03

• 1:05
  Speaker 5: airport beer picture and that picture.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: So speaking of the T shirt, is that his face
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: cropped onto somebody or did he actually have hair like that?
• 1:15
  Speaker 7: Like that you had hair like that?
• 1:16
  Speaker 8: I mean, I didn't remember because we were talking about
• 1:18
  Speaker 8: I like had found this whenever we were making the
• 1:21
  Speaker 8: graphic that we're gonnaounce whatever.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: I found this like picture of him when.
• 1:24
  Speaker 8: He was with the Jets, And yeah, he mustache and
• 1:30
  Speaker 8: like we were making fun of him.
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: We pulled the picture was hanging out of his head.
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: A little bit of Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: He was like, oh that was when I had the
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: man bun situation.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: I was like, it wasn't very New York pluscious man
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: bun like, it was kind of like Ratty and Bun.
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: That's what he had, what he was rolling with.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Fine, So uh, yeah, he's out.
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: He'll be out today, he'll be out tomorrow. It's okay.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: We got it held down here and laid out the show. Yo,
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: got a big show. Very excited about today's show. Kind
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: of going a little bit of everywhere. Talk a lot
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: of football with Connor, Munchies with Chef, obviously, baseball with Jay.
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: Ryan McGee like covers Omaha.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Every single year, and you know how Ryan is, like
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: he does like a deep dive into like the history
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: and the culture and like all the things surrounding Omaha.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: So very excited for that conversation. And then when Justin
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: Moore joins us he is a Arkansas fan. He is
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: a hog. Now he didn't marry somebody from Louisiana. She
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: started out an LSU fan, but he converted her. But
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: it's Okay, we're gonna talk a little trash with Justin.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Maybe make a bet. So any suggestions you have put
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: inside the chat, anything for a bet now, just know
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: whatever the bet is, I'm probably the one that's got
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: to do it if LSU doesn't win, So don't make
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: it too crazy. But we'll come up with something whenever
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: we have him at.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: Nine point thirty.
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: What about if LSU wins, he has to wear an
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: LSU sh shirt or jersey at his next concert and
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: post it on Instagram, or he.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: Just has to come do a show down here Justin.
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: It's been too long, man.
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: He was here last year.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: He's a march.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: It was like May because it was Cajun country.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Okay, so that's why I remember when whenever he was here,
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: I was not here. We're trying to link up and
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: didn't feel that long ago. So last year makes sense,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: all right. So if he does that, if he has
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: to wear an l s U shirt on stage, which
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: I do like that, trying to think what the equivalent
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: would be for me, Oh, would I have to wear
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: an Arkansas shirt here? No? At SEC media Day? Yeah,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: that's a lot, and you have to.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Call the hogs.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: That's not that bad at.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: SEC media Day.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: That's bad.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Do you know who would be elite calling the hogs?
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Hunt Palmer Hunt would be I could just see Hunt
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: as an Arkansas fan going all out all in the Hogs,
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: like that's him.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: I don't know that Hunt would appreciate that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: He went full yell later he did. I forgot what Probably.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: That's probably why I get this clap and the whole deal. Okay,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: so we'll see, we'll see what the bet ends up being, Landra,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: how we doing? You know, nothing like spending your night
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: at AutoZone.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: I don't even know, guys, Like my life being me
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: is so exhausting. I don't even know.
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: Like my car died again last night and I had
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: to take it to AutoZone, and then they tested the
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: battery and the alternator and he said that both were fine.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: So yeah, And I was telling you, it's like almost
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: like you want something to be wrong because then you
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: kind of know, all right, well here's the issue. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: can fix it. And he's like, no, they're all good.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: My car is just not starting sometimes great. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: I mean started.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: This morning, and it started yesterday obviously when you left here. Yeah,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: but then you go work out out, you come back
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: and doesn't start right tight.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: So yeah, awesome, super cool. Yeah I like that a
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: great time. Yeah, but other than that, life's great.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Tate, you said you got to be at work
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: late tonight. Not not late.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: I'm just we're doing a FR the next two days to.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: Uh, I don't know.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know where Paul's at. But Matt is on
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: his way to New York.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: I knew that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: No, I thought he's gonna maybe he's in Boston to
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: watch the Yankees.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, so it's a okay, so he's going to Boston.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: To watch the Yankees Red Sox.
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: And then so Moose is hosting, so I'll be doing
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: audio and Titay is doing video.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: So get this, I got audio today, I'm doing I mean,
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: I got video today. I'm doing audio tomorrow.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: Have you tell that in a long time for a FR?
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, at least yeah, Moscone is not hosting. Like
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: he'd yell at you, brat you a little bit. Let
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: you know how bad you are at your job. It's true.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Mostly just get mad at itself. He'll just start hitting
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: his head.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: It'll be like, it's my fault. I got this more
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: on to.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Come exactly like apiate, Yeah, no question about it. So
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: at least you don't have that situation.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: We got the we got the grass cut yesterday too.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: We beat the rain, big day for you guy.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: Monarchs? Were they on?
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: No, you own air monarchs, There's no doubt mine.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: I actually don't.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Whatever.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: No, these were These were a pair of aces that
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: I've had like eight years. They got like a hole
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: in the toe. Those are the grass cutting choose.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Uh, you might want to cover that up. I mean,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: like part of cutting the grass. Certainly when you push
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: mo like you're gonna have some things thrown back at
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: you for sure. Okay, it's probably why you have a
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: hole in the toe already.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: They stay outside though, like we're good.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, those ain't coming in the house. Uh rsp one
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: two one eight. Inside the chat says Jake, you got
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: to wear the foam hog hat.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: Oh, I feels like a step too far.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: I'd be if I wear a shirt and I'm calling
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: the hogs in front of all my sec brethren, that
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: feels like that would be enough. Now is the bet
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: going to be just this one like Solo game? Or
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: is it going to be who makes it farther in Omaha.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Let's make it who makes it further?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Because like yeah, like okay, because if Arkansas beats l
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: Shoe loses their next two and LSU goes on to win,
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: like that, Arkansas.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: Reallys of LSU wins a national championship, just like you
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: didn't probably want to wear a LSU shirt if Arkansas
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: finally wins a national championship. All right, so we'll format it,
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: we'll get it all together. Uh, we'll present it to
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Justin at nine point thirty when he comes on with us.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: So all right, so we do have a bunch to
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: get to. So let's go ahead and get this thing started.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It's time to get glowing. Courtesy of Go Flow ivy spa,
• 7:56

• 8:28
  Speaker 5: for So go ahead, I mean, go in before, go
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: in after. Enjoy yourself, relax and get hydrated. Summer is
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: here in this Louisiana heat, as we know, is no joke.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: So the thing that I wanted to do right here
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: off the top.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: LSU football television schedule, all right, because I would say,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: and I'd argue that we're probably the place that cares
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: the most about kickoff times. We don't want to play
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: a lot of games in the sunlight. We certainly don't
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: want to play any home.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: Games in the sunlight.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: I am not Big Ten Bob who likes to play
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: marquee games at brunch. That is dumb. That makes no
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: sense to me. And I want to go out there
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: and have the full experience of an all day tailgate.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Let that thing buzz up to an eleven before you
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: kick it off under the lights in Tiger Stadium. I know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Like I've been on social media and there's so many
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: like former Big ten players, current Big ten players, people
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: are like, nothing's better than a noon kickoff and then
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: you can go.
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: Out to the bars afterwards.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: It's dumb, No, you just tailgate all day and then
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: you go to it, and then you still go to
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: the bars afterwards, because no big game should ever be
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: kicked off while pancakes and waffles are still being served. Okay,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: so that's what we look for, all right. So some
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: of these we already knew, but we'll go.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: Down the full list.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Elandre Tate, if y'all want to react to one, certainly,
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: just jump in here. We know at Clemson gonna be
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: on ABC. It's going to be a six thirty pm
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: local kick. Week number two versus a La Tech that's
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: going to be on ESPN and the SEC Network plus
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: six thirty again versus Florida. Right, remember an early early
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Florida game. That one's typically in October. It is going
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: to be the third game of the year, September thirteenth,
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: at home, ABC, six thirty pm Local kick. Thank god,
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: that game always needs to be under the lights when
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: it's the Tigers and Negators.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Love that, like the two that I think of two
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: thousand and seven obviously, and then twenty nineteen with Kyle Trast,
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: Kyle Pitts and them or yeah here, like every every
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: Florida game I think of at home at night at night.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when Jaden goes off at night. You're twenty nineteen.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: The one you're talking about, it was at night. Go
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: all the way back to our game in O seven.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: That game was at night. We played them at home
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: during the day in O five and we beat them,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: And it just doesn't feel the same when you play
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: that team and you beat him during the day. Now,
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: the one that TDP set the rushing record, I didn't
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: care when that was being played.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: That was awesome. That was incredible. That was at eleven am.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: It was early.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: It was I know, I think it was I think
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: it was noon. Okay, it was like a noon kick
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: or whatever. Uh And they re encounter about forty seven
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: straight times and playing tight end and nobody could stop it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: It was incredible football rotica right there running encounter and
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: they knew it was coming and they couldn't do anything
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: And this big, like you know.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Pretty in his uniform edge rusher that like thought he
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: was really really good, and by the end out he's
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: like tapping out, like please stop running this play towards me.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Then we got the the Tay Table versus Southeastern on
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: the SEC Network's Trouble six kickoff, and then okay, you
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: got at Old Miss that's gonna be on September the
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: twenty seventh. That is going to be a flex game.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: So flex games can.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Be two thirty three, thirty five seven, right, so all
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: those essential time by the way, So it could be
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: a day game, but not going to be the noon game.
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: Same situation.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Versus South Carolina at home, that's going to be a
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: flex game, so one of those windows, but again not
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: a noonkick. Now at Vanderbilt, that is going to be
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: an early kick.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: That is going to be one of those brunch time games.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: And LSU fans last time you went there, you sold
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: them out of beer.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: But just be careful.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: This is going to be an early boy, probably gonna
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: be a little hot there in Nashville. That's a trip
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: that a lot of LSU fans are all with. Every
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: every away team for Vanderbilt is gonna make that trip
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Nashville boom, and we all know that. So if you're
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: going to go to that one, go to go flow,
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: get some my high and get hydrated. But I don't
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: mind that one being early. It's like it's on the
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: road whatever.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: So I prefer the road games at eleven AM a lot.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Now I'm working and calling the games.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well just because everybody says, okay, well it's eleven am.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: The home crowd's not in it. Yeah, that's my point.
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: Like I'd prefer to playoff road one early.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Texas A and M at home that's going to be
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: on October twenty fifth, that's going to be in that
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: same flex time that we talked about with Ole Miss
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: and South Carolina at Alabama, that one is going to
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: be at night, So you're going to get a primetime kickoff.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: No surprise there, that's just what that game typically always is.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: Versus Arkansas, the.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Only early game you're going to have at home that
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: is going to be in the eleven am or a
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: noon you know kick that's going to be an early
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: one in Tiger Stadium against the Razorbacks. So the only
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: one you have because then it goes to Western Kentucky
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: that's actually going to be a night game, and then
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: at Oklahoma is in that flex spot as well. So
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: only two early games at Vanderbilt versus Arkansas.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: It could be worse. It could be worse.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: I don't love any of those early kicks like that
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: at home, but if you only get one, it's against Arkansas,
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: that game has been played early before. As long as
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: it's not one of the Marky ones, as long as
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: it's not Florida, as long as it's not Old miss
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: as long as it's not Alabama, I'm okay with that
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: one one early.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: You're gonna get one, Yeah, one early home game because
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: Vandy's on the road. Like has that ever happened? Maybe
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: a few times, not in recent history. So again you
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: usually get two or three.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you could get some day games, you could get
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: some of those two thirty games.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: But again, the only.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Early game, right, the only like eleven am situation you're
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: going to get at home is Arkansas.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: So that is kind of the TV schedule.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: For LSU football, I mean just not even really looking
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: at the TV portion of it, but just kind of
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: looking at what it is. Plays out pretty nicely for you.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: You look at your home games, you look at your
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: away games, you look at how their format is.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: What we always look at.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: It's going to be every opportunity for LSU to make
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: that run that we're talking about. All Right, we will
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: step away for the first time. We've got connor O
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: Garris set to join us in about fifteen minutes from now.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: We'll break down LSUE football SEC football with Connor.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: Will do it right here when we jump back on
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: OTB off the bench.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: All right, So we told you about the two pictures
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: that Flynn sent us, Well, they both involved dosakis.
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: The first one was rude.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: He was enjoying an airport beard during the show while
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: we were here on air, nice frosty mug right next
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: to the dos equis ice cold rude. And then the
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: shirt that we're talking about, it was with him with
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: this ridiculous haircut and you know it's like four Yeah,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: it was like fortieth birthday theme shirt and he was
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: on the golf course and guess what he was holding
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: in his hand?
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: A dose sakis? Right, So that's not just lip service here.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: It is something that we enjoy and it's always a
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: good time to enjoy a dose sekis right, Telgate beer Elite, right,
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Ballpark Beer Elite. If you're in Omaha, for sure, beach beer,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Lake beer, studio beer. Maybe go for dose drink do
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: sekies drink responsibly.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: From players to legends, Hester and Flynn breakdown LSU football
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: like only champions can.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: All right, Welcome back in OTV one oh four five
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: ESPN Baton Rouge. KK. You linked a couple of Saint
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: stories here in the doc, one being Saints are interested
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: in receiver Gabe Davis, and my goodness, what a fall
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: from grace he had. He was like this great, not
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: secondary piece, because I felt like he was more than
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: that in Buffalo with Josh Allen and certainly like a
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: trusted piece. And then he sounds like this big deal
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: to go to Jacksonville where it just was not great,
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: and now you're starting him. And I hate this part
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: of the NFL because now it's like he's done, can't play,
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: can't sign that guy.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: It's like.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: Some of these franchises. I don't know why we don't
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: look at him and be like, that's just a terrible
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Franchise's just a bad franchise. It's poorly ran to coaching,
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: just revolving door. Nothing really goes right there. They'll have
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: a one off every now and again. It's like a
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: player like that signed a big deal not that long ago,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: goes to a bad franchise and then perception is he's
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: just done. I can't play, and I hate it. And look,
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: I'm biased here because I see former players, former teammates.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: I've seen This happen to a lot of guys. But Tata,
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: what would the Saints be getting with a Gabe Davis, Like,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: what would it add to the receiver room? I think
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: we'd had another deep threat.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: If you remember two years ago, this is how he
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: got that big contract. It was a playoff game for Buffalo.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: He hit three touchdowns in that game. Yep, I believe
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: it was. That was the overtime game with the Bills
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: and the Chiefs that the Chiefs ultimately won. But I
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: mean nobody could cover Gave Davis in that game, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: that was a good Chiefs defense. He's twenty six years old,
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: and your point, everyone's going to say, oh, well, he
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: can't play anymore. He had a bad year. He had
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: a really bad quarterback last year. Trevor Lawrence was awful
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: last year. Chris Kirk wasn't good. Christian Kirk got picked
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: up by the Texans. I think he's a good receiver.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: It was really Brian Thomas and that was it for
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: that Jags offense. Like, yeah, this is a young guy.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: He hadn't had terrible injuries. I mean there's been a few.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: He's twenty six, like probably getting pretty cheap.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Well, so he's receiving more than eleven million dollars from
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: the Jags, making a one year veteran minimum deal likely
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: so for his next destination. And uh so the Jags
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: are paying his tab right again, he signed a massive
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: deal with them.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: And by the way, shout out to Ross Shacks.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: And I saw that little nugget on louisianasports dot net
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: where you can check out all your latest Saints news, like,
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: I yeah, if you're gonna sign in for a VET minimum,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: if the Jags are picking up the tab on him.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: We talked about it during the draft process, like this
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: Saints roster and this Saints team they need some juice
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: at receiver because you have a Chris lave who And
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: this isn't like trying to be funny, just is what
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: it is.
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: Like he's one hit away from who knows.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's had so many concussions, so that could
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: be a situation where if he goes down again, Well,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: what do you really have? Will you have Rashid Shaheed?
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Remember Rashid Shaheed, incredible athlete? What do we always talk
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: about with those incredible track athlete type guys? A lot
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: of hamstrings, a lot of muscle, Pulls, so he hasn't
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: been able to get on the field consistently. You sign
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: a Brandon Cooks and so you got a veteran presence there.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: But I would just say, because of the past health
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: of the receivers that you have, do you really want
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: to be showing up again with uber drivers as your
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: receivers on Sundays? That's what you did last year. These
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: guys that were like out of football games and they
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: came back. I mean, and bub might be one of
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: the more exciting of the name, right and the Kevin
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Austin juniors, Cedric Wilson junior coming back, Dante pett Is
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: coming back. My god, so many times y'all made me
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: listen to Mason Tipton facts a year ago.
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: Okay, so if you can get a veteran guy.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: That, sure, he's not coming off his best year, but
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: I think you need to look at where he was
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: in Jacksonville, what that franchise has been working mount does
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: he still have it? And look, he's got a different
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: body type. It's a different body type receiver built really
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: more like a running back than a receiver. So, and
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: I say that in like a positive way, because he's
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: really good on the edge, run blocking, but also he's
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: good tough catches over the middle. I think you can
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: throw him some noiles, you can throw them some bubbles,
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: some different things. You don't really have that receiver now,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: like you got speed, you got a Lave, you got
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Brandon Cooks, you got Rashid Shahied, you don't have the
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: receiver that we're talking about, right, So you go ad
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: somebody again. Another team is playing paying the eleven million,
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: you're paying the veteran minimum, which is basically a little
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: bit more than a rookie minimum.
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: So there's no real investment here.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: I think it makes all sense in the world for
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: the Saints.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah it does, And so many people are gonna say, oh,
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: well you still need a big bodied guy. What did
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: we hear you signed the exact same receiver again, to
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: your point, he plays a lot different, but also like
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: who this is what you have Chris Olave who's injured
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: all hell, Brandon Cooks who's now over thirty, and Rashijia
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: Head who's really a number three and not a two.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: Like I'm not saying I'd rather have him over everybody,
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: but I'd rather have him over Brandon Cooks at this
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: point in his career, like Cooks couldn't stay healthy. He's
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: thirty one years old, he's declined for three years in
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: a row. Yeah, Hey, Davis had one bad season. Nobody
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: thinks he's washed.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and uh, look he is six two two twenty five,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: So I mean he's a big guy. Yeah, I know
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: he is not kind of in the mold of those
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: other receivers that we're talking about, that short slender receivers. Again,
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: incredible athletes, incredibly fast, but six two two twenty five
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: is different than what we're talking about there. So look,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: it makes, uh, in my opinion, a lot of sense
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: for the Saints if they do end up him.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: You add him to a room that needs protection.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: It needs guys that so for when your guys do
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: miss games, because history tells us Chris lave Rashi, Chihid,
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: Brandon Cooks they're going to miss games, you add a
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: veteran guy in there that has been through the fire,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: that understands what the NFL is all about, and.
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: You don't allow what happened last year to happen to you. Again.
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: Well, christ Olave also doesn't have Derek Carr throwing hospital
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: balls at him this that is true, so we might
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: have him for a little longer than last season. But
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: this is kind of why I don't really have faith
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: in the Saints this season though. Like I know, everybody's like, oh,
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: we got Tyler Shuck Spencer Ratler or whatever, but we've
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: been so focused on the quarterback room that nobody really
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: talks about how bad the rest of the roster is.
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: There's like some some bright spots, but I just I don't.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: Know, Well, to your point, I have faith. We hope
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: the other two quarterbacks are good. They just have a
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: different casing in hospital balls tree.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: You know, maybe Spencer rollers out there trying to give
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: Chris Alave CT two.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Well, I mean he's unfortunately, he's probably
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: going to have that already. Yeah, but we're just talking
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: about the severity of what.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: We're talking about.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Bad. I feel like really bad for Chrystal Lave.
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: I mean if Chris A. Lave was with.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Antua, yeah, I mean that's that was sad.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, But I was thinking more like if Chrystal Lave
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: was with like a better different situation, yeah, because he's
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: already had some pretty solid seasons. If he was with
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: you know, somebody not Derek Carr and not what the
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Saints offensive line has been over the last couple of years,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: protecting whoever the quarterback is and time to throw the
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: football down the field. His numbers I think would be
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: up there with some of the best.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: Right, Here's here's a team that doesn't really have weapons
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: on the outside. What if he was with the Kansas
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: City Chiefs. Yeah, Chris Olave's all pro caliber player.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: With the Kansas City.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: He's with my Bushley Bolts and Herbert. Right before they
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: got lab McConkie, they were just begging for somebody to
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: be the number one receiver. Yeah right, and now their
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: number one receiver is you know, a five to nine
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: and eighty five pounds white guy. Yeah, so he's baller,
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: hell of a player. But they could have used him
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: as well. So let's hope that Chris Olive, with a
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: new quarterback, with a new coach, with a new coordinator,
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: with all new around him, can play a full season
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: and put up the numbers that we think he is
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: certainly capable of putting up. All right, we will step
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: away when we come back, going to be joined by
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: Connor O Garas Saturday down South, right, here on o

• 27:29
  Speaker 5: are you living?
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: I'm living well.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize it was R and B Thursday. I
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: would have come more prepared with Boys to Men takes
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: ye somehow still underrated, even though that that era missed
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: me a little bit. But I like R and B Thursday.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: I feel like that's a genre that I think we
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: need to get back to a little bit more.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: Thank you. Yeah, that's why I do it. It's for
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: the people.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: Vois to Men certainly is on the playlist here. We'll
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: place some certainly, some usher, genuine, some jagged d some
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: jotasy like all that will be played here today.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: Just so you know.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: That's that's good to know a late nineties susher too,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: not like, hey, I've made it big and I'm you know,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: putting out like into the odds. I like real late
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: nineties usher. It hits home in a different way.
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm so proud of you right now. It's a
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: great take.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: I typically do like your takes, and so I'm not
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: surprised by it. One of the things I want to
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: get your take on immediately right here, because I need
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: to know this information. When should what time slot should
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: a marquee football game be played?
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: It's a good question. I think context is key, because
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: lord knows, Ohio State fans are just incensed that big
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: noon kickoff exists and they want to have every single
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Ohio State game starting at noon. And fans are like,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: what the heck? Like this is just ridiculous, even though
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: it's their pockets with cash as we speak. But I
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: think an ideal college football game is played at night.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: I think it's played at night. I think it's a
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: seven PM. I think that there are certain justifications for
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: three thirty. Obviously, three thirty on CBS two thirty in
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: your central time zone was a staple for two plus
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: decades that we obviously hold very near and dear in
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: college football. Is it still that way anymore? I don't
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: think it is. I really don't. I do think that
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: if you're talking about a premieer college football game, and
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: what is most important? What is the thing that you
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: turn on TV and feel like it is biggest? It
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: is Chris Fowler, It's Kirk Herbstreet, It's Holly Row. It's
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: this big time type atmosphere where it feels like anything
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: can happen.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: That's at night.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: That's at night for me.
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: That's a correct answer. Well done, sir.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: And you know, look, I do a radio a lot
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: of former Big Ten athletes, and you know they pushed
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: the noon kickoff. I'm like, look, no big game should
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: be at breakfast time. Like I need that game to
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: marinate on campus like all day long, Like I need
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: that build up to just continue to build. And look,
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: the tailgates are still there at that time. Hell, the
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: tailgates for it, like a big time SEC game are
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: there on Thursday night, right, And so like you wake
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: up early, you tailgate, and you walk around campus and Connor,
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: it's like you can feel the electricity of the game,
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: and by like the hour, it just intensifies and just
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: continues to build. And then you get to kickoff and
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: if you've handled yourself right, if you've hydrated properly, you're
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: gonna enjoy a nice three and a half four hour
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: game that you've been waiting for all day long.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I'm a Big ten grad, so I can say this.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: It's one true.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: Look.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: I remember games at Indiana wherein Indiana would play gosh,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: who was it, Oh, it was ball State. They had
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: ball stayed on like a Thursday or Friday night or
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: something like that, and that game by the time you
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: got to kick off at seven thirty because Indiana never
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: had night games ever. It's just not something you do.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: And in Big ten country later in the season, the
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: weather the way that it changes, you need to be
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: able to have those daytime games so that fans aren't
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: miserable watching teams that aren't going to be playing for
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: national championship. And so at Indiana, that game over the
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: course of the day. You're right, it progressed. It progressed,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: it progressed, and it created one of the wildest tailgates
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I've ever been to. You could probably find it in
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: deep dark corners of the Internet that I don't care
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: to go to anymore. But there is just something to
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: be said for that, as opposed to look, I went
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: to tons of Indiana games where they were starting at noon,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: and one of the biggest games I went to was
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: against the Michigan Nari Robinson team, and that build up
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: was just not quite there and it was gray. Everything
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: felt slower, and it just didn't quite have this sort
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: of gravitas that a seven thirty game did. And that's
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: a weird thing to say. For whatever reason, though, our
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: eyes are just trained to process it that way. There's
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: a reason why when we watch the NFL, it just
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: feels like such a better product when these games are
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: being played at night. I think that's something that the
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: SEC has always done so much better than any other conference,
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: is having these games at night and really saying like,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: do we want to have this game at eleven local
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: time or noon? Because I just think there's something about
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: it that looks better to the viewer when it's being
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: played you know, under the lights.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah that I agree, Well said there, And we looked
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: at LSU schedule a little bit earlier and kind of
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: went down only going to be one like truly early
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: noon type kickoff and that's going to be Arkansas at home.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: So LSU schedule looks like LSU fans would want it
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: to look like Connor. There was a question going, you know,
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: around the internet and at a couple of different people
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: reach out to me and they ask for my answer,
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: and then of course I made some fans mad, because well,
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: that's just what happens in the SEC when you disagree
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: with somebody.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: Start bench or cut, Nuss Meyer, Lagway, and Arch, all right,
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: so tough tough, right, So Nus, Lagway and Arch start
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: bench and cut.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: And I guess it started with our guy CD in Roman.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: They were doing the SEC network and they both went start, Lagway, bench,
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Nuss cut Arch Manning. I would just flip Lagway and
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Nus and then roll with the rest.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not pandering when I say this, because I mean, look,
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I'm already on record saying I think Nuts is the
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: best returning quarterback in the SEC. I have Lsu winning
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: a national championship, so I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: bench Nuts. Obviously, I have to start in US in
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: this situation, So I would start in US. I would
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: bench Arch so that he can watch get reps figure
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: some things out, and I would only cut Lagway, who,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: by the way, I still have Lagways my number three
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: quarterback in the SEC. He's one of the players I'm
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: most excited to watch in all of college football. I
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: am fully in on DJ Lagway. The only thing is
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: he spent an entire off season going into this first
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: full pivotal season as a starter, not throwing the football,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: and there are still people wondering is that shoulder right?
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Is he gonna be okay? And is he going to
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: be in a spot where he just doesn't have it
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: necessarily from the jump and Florida is left scrambling. That
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: would scare me. Obviously, there's always injury risk with all
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: of these guys, But knowing that that's kind of baked
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: in there, I would probably have to bench someone like Lagway,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: and I would take more of a chance on Arch.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: But I mean, Lagway is the more proven player, if
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: he's healthy, Who's going to be the better player day one?
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: I'll take Dj Lagway. I'll take care at Innsmeyer over
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Arch obviously, But it's a great question, and Leonora Sellers
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: you could absol throwing the Yeah, you get into the
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: stuff with him about a is Mike Shula gonna be
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: the guy that's gonna kind of maximize his abilities? You
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: just kind of don't really know but it is a really,
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: really interesting question that surely just upsets a lot of people.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is really the year of the quarterback
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: in the SEC for me. I mean the three guys
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: that we just mentioned. You mentioned Leonora's sellers.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: There.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: You can go Jeo Materi at Oklahoma.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: I know you're not quite as high on him as
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: maybe some others, but still, you know, a really good
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: quarterback at Washington State. We'll see what he can do.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: At Oklahoma. You got Diego Pavia. And sure it's not
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: NFL polished quarterback play, but I'll be damned if if
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: I went into battle if I didn't call that guy first, Like,
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know where you fit in, but I'm calling
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: Diego to be in there with me. And so like,
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: there is some highly intriguing quarterbacks and what is wild
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: is like, so we're talking to all these quarterbacks Georgia,
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: Ole Miss, Alabama, like some of the heavy hitters have
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: quarterback questions. Now we think that those guys are going
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: to play well, Like we think that, oh, well, Ole Miss,
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: it doesn't really matter who the quarterback is because Lane
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: Kiffin's coaching them. But like some of the teams that
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: have had the most success are the ones that had
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: the quarterback questions in the SEC and the ones that
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: are trying to punch up. I feel like they have
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: quarterbacks figured out.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's extremely rare. I mean, South Carolina has famously
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: never had an all SEC quarterback at season's end, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: you could argue Lenora Selis is one of the five
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: best quarterbacks in all of college football returning. I mean,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: for ever LSU during the twenty tens, it was where
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: are they going to find a quarterback? And now, seemingly
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: on a yearly basis, they have their guy Florida for
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: the longest time, you know, with different iterations. Obviously they
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: felt comfortable with Kyle Trask returning or something like that,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: but to have a guy like Lagway, Yeah, it is
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: different for Texas to have all the guys that they
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: missed out on in their state in the twenty tens
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: and then to now be in this position where finally
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: the arch Manning era has arrived. You're right, it does
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: feel like a bit of a change in the guard.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: I'll be interested if it's a changing the guard at old.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Miss Austin Simmons is really interesting. He's nineteen years old
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: and he's graduated college, which is the new Ryan Williams
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: is seventeen. Stat of it's crazy to.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: This crazy guy.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: Hey, the day I graduated high school. So the very
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: day I graduated, on May the eighth of two thousand
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: and four, I turned nineteen high school. The day I
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: graduated at high school, I turned nineteen. And this guy,
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, so it is pretty impressive.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: He's going to be one of those guys that we're
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: going to be talking about so much. And I'm already
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: talking about him a lot because of some of those factors.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: You know, LSU fans remember remember Walker Howard really well,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: and for people that covered Ole Miss last year, when
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Austin Simmons earned the backup job and moved ahead of
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Walker Howard, it was kind of like this, wait a minute,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: what how is that happening already? When Walker how it
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: came in as this really decorated transfer, that thinking was
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: he was gonna red shirt, essentially have a red shirt
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: type season. I read he'd already red shirted, but behind
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Spencer Sanders and behind Jackson Dart and then Austin Simmons
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: is just a better player, and it was pretty undeniable.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: And that's obviously why Walker Howard hit the portal at
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: season's end last year and Austin Simmons did what he
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: did most, notably against George when he delivered ole Miss's
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: biggest drive of the season. But the floor for ole
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Miss quarterbacks has been at least you know, twenty twenty
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: two Jackson Dart and twenty twenty Matt Corral were at
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: least middle of the pack quarterbacks in the SEC. So
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: there's so much potential with Austin Simmons, and I think
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: he's someone that people are really really excited to see
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: in Oxford.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: What about the weapons there for Old Miss? Because I
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: was talking about them, and the defense is not going
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: to be the same, Like, I don't care who you
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: brought in. I covered the draft in Green Bay and
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: I swear we were saying defender ole Miss, defender Old Miss,
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: like when we were breaking down that somebody was getting
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: drafted from there. So the defense isn't going to look
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: the same offensively, You're right, I mean it's Lane Kiffen
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: with a quarterback. Is it going to be on the
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: same level of Jackson dar last year? Not out of
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: the gates, but maybe it can get there. But Logan
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: digs at running back like obviously we've seen him here
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: at LSU, like he's a good, solid running back, not
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: really a game changer. And then at receiver, man, you
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: know how big of a fan I am of Trey
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: Harris and when he was there last year, they were different.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: When he went down with injury, like that was a massive,
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: massive hit for them. So what about the weapons Simmons
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: is going to be throwing to?
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Cadinen Lee's a stud. He's something that needs to be
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: talked about more in the SEC. Is one of the
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: best returning receivers in the SEC. I think he's right
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: in that same exact year that Aaron Anderson is in
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: coming back this year, maybe right behind where Ryan Williams.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: And I'm very bullish on Cam Coleman at Auburn, especially
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: the way that he finished last season, the former five
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: star recruit who will be entering year two. Those guys
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: are my four best receivers in the SEC. So Ole
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: miss still, even after losing Trey Harris, even after losing
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Juice Wells, who didn't end up being the player that
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: they hoped she was going to be, still is one
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: of the best four receivers in the SEC. And then
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: they were active in the portal. They get a receiver
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: from the second option in Penn State's passing room behind
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Tyler Warren. They get stribbling from Oklahoma State who put
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: up big numbers this past year with Bowman who is
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Alan Bowman, who was in like year twelve at Oklahoma State,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: and they have a really nice receiver room. The question
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: for ole Miss, though, is oddly the ground game. They
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: never figured it out last year. They never did. They
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: lose Quinn Shawn Judkins to Ohio State, and thinking as well,
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: ole Miss doesn't have to overpay for a running back
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: because this is link Kiffin just plugging Chuck. Bring Henry
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Parrish back. That guy was here like four years ago.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Get him from Miami. Let's see, it'll work out just fine.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: They never figured it out, and so I don't know
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: that they're going to figure it out this year. Diggs
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: hasn't been able to stay healthy. You guys know that
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: very well. And this is a team that has a
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: lot of questions on the offensive side of the ball.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: They're not in the top one hundred and Bill Connolly's
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: percentage of returning offensive production, and I think it's going
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: to be very much feeling like a gap year for
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: oll miss, but the schedule sets up well on the schedules,
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: that's really really well, and it could be a.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Dark horse that does man the schedule for another year.
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: It's like, I don't know who owed you all favor,
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: but y'all cash it in and we'll see if it
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: can pay off for old miss Connor. You're the man.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: We appreciate your time as always. You can go catch
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: Connor's work Saturday down South at cj Ogeret is the

• 42:01
  Speaker 5: more LSU theme there, but one of my absolute favorites
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: to catch up with. All right, we will step away

  Speaker 1: go to for all things Louisiana sports.
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: I got a lot of Gators mad yesterday and I
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: was like, look, I would start in us Meyer, i
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: would bench Lagway and I'd.
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: Cut Arch and like, oh you're such a homer.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: I'm like, guys, well uh, but also like objectively, if
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at this and if I'm evaluating one through
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: four under two thousand yards played in twelve games, like
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: I know he didn't start all those. He played in
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: twelve games, twelve touchdowns, nine interceptions, the other one through
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: for over four thousand yards, completed sixty four percent of
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: his passes. Lagway was fifty nine percent of his passes
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: and through twelve interceptions and many many, me many more attempts.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: I was like, this isn't being a homer. I love
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: DJ Lagway's game. I think he's tough as hell as well.
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: I'm not starting him over Garrett Neessmeyer. There's not a
