• 2:54
  Speaker 4: That is the Cowboy malonies text sine callus on the

  Speaker 4: Missipi Sports Medicine collar Line. All right, I found this interesting.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: The first ever the app pole will be coming out
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: of here shortly. The first ever AP pole was brought
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: back up online. And let's go back in time, shall we.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Nineteen thirty six. Nineteen thirty six, that's the first ever
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Week one college football, first ever AP pole ever dropped.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Check out this a p pole. And remember the AP
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: pole used to do and the coaches used to do
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: a top twenty. We moved to a top twenty five
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: somewhere in the nineties. Maybe I'd have to go back
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: and look, but I can remember. I'm old enough at
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: fifty to remember we used to do a top twenty,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: not a twenty five. We did a twenty. Minnesota was
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: your preseason number one ranked team in college football back
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: in nineteen thirty six. Duke the Blue Devils were number two,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Army was number three, Northwestern number four. Man we've gotten
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: flipped upside down. How we perdue? Number five that was
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: your top five. Now think about this. If you went
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: into a coma and you woke up and it was
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: right before college football, and you said two weeks out
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: and you said, man, I want to see who the rankings.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Who's number one? And it was Minnesota, Duke, Army, Northwestern, Purdue.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: That was your top five. Much different than this year.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame, Oregon, Georgia, Texas. Whoever number six was USC
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Number seven in nineteen thirty six was Notre Dame. Number
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: eight was Washington, the Huskies. Number nine was Pittsburgh. That's
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: pitt the Panthers. Number ten was Yeale. Number eleven was Ducane.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Didn't even know they played football. I think that's how
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: you said Ducaine, number twelve Saint Mary's. This feels like
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: a basketball poll, didn't it. Number thirteen LSU, Number fourteen
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Texas A and M. The LSU obviously was playing in
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: the in the SEC. Texas A and M was playing
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: in the Southwest for they may have been independent at
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: that time. I'd have to go look where Texas A
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: and M was. Nebraska was number fifteen, Fordham was number
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: sixty Fordham nineteen thirty six. They were the sixteenth best
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: team in college football. Holy Cross was seventeen, Twulane eighteen,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: SMU nineteen, and Marquette, yes, the basketball school Marquette. Marquette
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: was number twenty. And you know, if you go back
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: and look at the history of college football and you
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: look at the history of things in football, Marquette was
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I think very instrumental in the forward pass if I
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: remember correctly. That started obviously in the military side of things,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: and then I believe Marquette was very instrumental on the
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: forward pass as well. But that was your nineteen thirty six.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: That was your preseason Minnesota, Duke, Army, Northwestern, and Purdue.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Maybe when the new Purdue athletic striccher stood up last
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: week and said, hey, you know, if you don't want
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: to win championships, you go to Indiana, and he was
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: climned about maybe he was back in nineteen thirty six,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: because that's when Purdue was ranked in the top five
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: in college football. Ole Miss continues to hammer it out
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: in recruiting in football. This courtesy of Zach Berry Randall
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Joyner strikes again. Ole Miss has landed a commitment. Ole
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Miss has landed a football commitment from a twenty twenty
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: eight four star defensive lineman on Tavian Allen. The six
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: foot four two and eighty nine pound Pettisburg, Missippi prospect
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: chose ole Miss over Alabama, Florida, Southern cal Tennessee, Texas,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: UCLA in Texas A and m SO. Ole Miss continues
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: to recruit not just well now but for the future
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: of their football program. Pete Golden and Olmiss not slowing
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: down in football recruiting. Also, we'll get into some of
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: this a little later on the twenty FBS teams not
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: playing a power non conference opponent in twenty twenty six,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: and of course Indiana is gonna get clowned. And at
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the top of this list, Kurt Signetti is non apologetic
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: about it about their schedule and what they play. But
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: there's several teams out here that's not playing a power
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: team in the FBS. I mean Houston, the Cougars. A
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: lot of people expecting big things. That was a ten
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: win team in the Big Twelve last year. They're playing
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Oregon State. Now they're in the revamped two point zero
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: version of the Pac twelve. They play Southern and they
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: play at Georgia, Southern and remember Indiana's non conference schedule,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: North Texas, Howard, and Western Kentucky. That's the three teams
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: that they will play. And again I mean Kurt Signetti
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: and he's right. He can look at you and go, hey, look,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: we played the same schedule last year. We ended up
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: wearing people out throughout the season and wore out everybody
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: in the College Football Playoff. Also a little NFL news here,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan could potentially miss the start
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: of the season with a hamstring injury. According to Saints
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: coach Kellen Moore. So you're starting to see, you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: around the league, and it's that time of year, guys
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: are starting to have nicks and nags and all that
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: stuff as we head into the preseason portion of the
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: schedule coming up, and staying with the NFL out of schefter,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: a notable injury in La Pookin, the who of the
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: All Star wide receiver there for the Rams, left practice
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: with the training staff. Sean McVay says he has no
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: update on what actually happened, and I thought this was
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: really funny later on in the program if we get time,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: if not, we'll do it tomorrow Men's Humor on X.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: One customer from each store. There's a massive brawl. Who wins?
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: So think about this, one customer from each store, one
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: customer from Walmart, one customer for Trader Joe's, one customer
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: from Costco, one Kroger customer, an Aldi customer. I don't
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: even know what this well, that's gonna be publics, one Public's,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: one Target, one Whole Foods, one Dollar General, one Save
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: a Lot, one HTB and I'm gonnaed shure what that is.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: And one food lion who wins in a brawl? And
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: everybody's taking either the Walmart or the Dollar General guy.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: But we'll get into that a little later on. That
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: could be a heck of a battle. Royal Also more
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: odds out this courtesy of Draft Kings. For the National
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: championship in college football, Ohio State and Notre Dame again,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: and that's kind of synonymous across all gaming outlets. Ohio
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: State Notre Dame both at six to one to win
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: the National Championship in college football. The second layer is
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Oregon in Texas at seven and a half to one.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Then you got Georgia at eight to one, Indiana nine
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: to one. You got Miami at ten to one, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: again that's your four, five, six, that's your seven teams
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: that are again put them in a hat, mix them up.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: That's where you're gonna go. Then you get a little
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: bit of a drop there. LSU next up at eighteen
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: to one, and a lot of people are kind of
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: scratching their heads or some are about LSU, you know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: having if you were looking for a value pick to
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: win the National Championship, and remember what a value pick
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: is is you're taking kind of a long shot to
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: go grab a ticket at a Maristar, and you're getting
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: some value there. So I mean eighteen to one. If
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: you bet a you one hundred bucks, you're gona win
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: eighteen hundred. If LSU wins the national title, I think
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: that's a great value pick. But Sam Levitt forty plus
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: new players, Lane Kiffin, that's a great value pick. Texas
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Tech at twenty two to one. They'll get some run
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: in the value pick plays, but again until we see
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: what their quarterback play looks like, we're never gonna know.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: And Texas A and M also at twenty two to one.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: That's a good value pick. If Marcel Reid is everything.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: A lot of people. We had Olim Buchannon on texacks
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: dot com a couple weeks ago talking about them, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: if if he's everything they hope he is, then Texas
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: A and M very well could be playing UH for
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: the SEC title and more. Alabama twenty five to one,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: probably the worst odds for an Alabama football team that
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: we have seen in twenty years. Since O four you
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: had Jared Shotson's up here with us now the voice
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: of the German Town Mavericks since then he's a huge
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Alabama guy. UH four probably twenty five to one. But again,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: if if they can have a run game, I think
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: they're gonna be fine at quarterback. They got some dudes
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: on defense that could be a good value pick at
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Alabama twenty five to one. Ole Miss thirty to one,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: thirty to one, tied with Oklahoma at thirty to one.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: And look, I think any of those teams Bama, Ole Miss, Oklahoma,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: if you want a good value pick, Texas A and
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: M out of the SEC, those are good value picks
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: to go win the national title. And yes, Mississippi State fans,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: ole Miss has a team that can make a run.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Here they do with Trendad Chamberlains key one lacy playmakers
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: across the field. I mean that again. The question we'll
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: see for ole Miss, and we'll see at week one,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: by the way, against Louisville where they're a five and
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: a half to six point favorite against Louisville on a
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: neutral side in Nashville, is what do they look like
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: in the confines of a game? What are the decision
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: making processes of that staff look like? You know, if
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: ole Miss has it fourth down and two with their
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: own forty two yard line or forty five yard line, well,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: you know with Lane Kiffin, they're dialing it up. Do
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: they do that? Still with this new staff? Does Pete
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Golding do that? Or are they punt and play defense.

  Speaker 4: the Northeast Miss Cbdaily Journal in the sec Cats. Welcome in, brother,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: what's going on?
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna warn you don't ask me about the first two,
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: the last one you could. I bet the last one's
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: stair game. I make no guarantee you on the first two.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Very very fair enough, fair enough, all right, We've got
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: a couple of days under our belts always go here
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: with the team coverage, injuries, injuries, injuries. What's the health
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: of the program? First?
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean from what we know, it's it's it's good. Admittedly,
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: we haven't seen a ton, you know. We we've had
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: one practice availability and there's about ten minutes of special
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: teams and I think that's what it's gonna be tomorrow.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: So I we're not really seeing a ton. But from
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: what Pete told us, I guess it was last week.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Guy who they expected to recover from off season stuff
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: are where they want them to be, and that includes
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: guys like Areas current another one had shoulder surgery in
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: the offseason. Those guys are are where they need them
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: to be. So I think from that perspective, they're in
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: a good spot.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I know that you probably if you had a dollar
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: every time he was asked or rode or covered about
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Trinidad Chambliss, you could probably retire. And rightfully, so, I
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: don't know that we've seen a quarterback in this state
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: grabbed this much attention since maybe Eli Manning when he
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: was at Ole Miss and rightfully so. I mean, the
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: guy's definitely worth the hype. He's worth you know, everything,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: and there's no hype. I mean, the guy proved it.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Talk a little bit about him and how he might
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: be handling the pressure. I mean, because all eyes are
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: on this guy in the right way, and he is
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: one thousand percent one of the two or three faces
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: of college football in the in the country in twenty
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: twenty six.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the I think the AP's All American
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Team comes out tomorrow or Thursday, and I imagine he's
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: going to be on one of those teams. He's been
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: on a lot of preseason All American teams. He's got
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: really good Heisman odds. I think this thing with Trinidad, though,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: is he's just he's just a cool customer man. He's
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: not phaised by the noise or the excitement or anything
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: like that. Like I think, in a lot of ways,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: he's the same guy that came here, you know, late
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: last spring after springball as the D two transfer from
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Faris State who nobody knew anything about. And I think
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: that guy is still the trendsit ad that is, you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: lighting up the sec He's just so consistent in who
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: he is. He's just he's so solid. He's about as
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: good of an ambassador as you could ask for for
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: the program. You know, obviously his story is something that
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: brings people in again the D two stuff and you know,
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: kind of coming out of I don't want to stay nowhere.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: But you know, he wasn't supposed to be the starter
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: co into last season. He ends up finishing as and
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: heismen voting and taking this team to the playoffs and
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: staying when a lot of people probably would have left
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: under the circumstances, you know, with the coaching change and whatnot.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: You know, there's there's a lot going on with college
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: football that I think people are maybe not upset with,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: but don't agree with or don't like the way things
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: are trending. But it's hard not to look at Trinidad's
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: story and think of that as you know, hey, college
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: football is okay. This is a case of things actually
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: working out the right way.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Michael Kat's talking All Miss Football tues the edition of
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: the program. Make sure to get him on X and
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: check him out. At the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal Tuesday
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: edition of the program. We haven't talked a whole lot
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: about pass catchers in Oxford. I mean, obviously there's gonna
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: be dudes and guys that can do it. Take us
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: through what that room might look like this this fall
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: or here in just a few weeks.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the one that we we feel like we know
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: a good amount about is Juce Alexander. He is switched
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: to number one, which is, as you know, is a
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: big deal in for for ole missed receivers. They don't
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: just give that number away. You have to earn that one.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: So that was I think a big part and I
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: think that shows that, you know, the confidence to having him.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: You know, he wasn't asked to be, you know, the
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: main guy last year. You know, at different times it
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: was different guys. You know, Deshaun Stribling who is ripping
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: it up and forty nine ers can't buy all accounts,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: you know, Harrison Wallace and Kayden Lee. There were just
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: a lot of guys that did a lot of things.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: But besides, Vanner quietly had a really nice year. He
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: had six hundred some yards forty four catches. He could
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: get the ball, you know, on on on Terry's sweeps,
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: things like that. I think he's a really versable player.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: You know, it's hard not to imagine him seeing an
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: increased workload. As you know is the number one and
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: the guy that you know, Trinidad is gonna instantly have
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: a lot of trust in. I think another guy to
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: look out for is John T. Cook the second. He
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: was a huge recruit out of Texas, five star, a
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: top fifty recruit and twenty three and things that work
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: out with him there and he bounced around a little
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: bit and you know, talking to him, he sort of
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: understands that he really needs to put this all together
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: for his future and this is a really big year
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: for him, and by all accounts, he's been pretty dynamic. Again,
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: you don't become a five star recruit if you don't
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: have some talent. And he's talking with John David Baker
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: about him a couple of days ago. You know, he's
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: a guy that you know can beat you one on
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: one in mancoveries. But he's also a guy that you
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: just get the ball to him in different ways and
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: you let him make plays because he's so explosive. So
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: I think that's gonna be one to watch, and I
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: think the one that I'm really interested in is, you know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: what's next for Caleb Cunningham. I mean, he was speaking
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: of five star recruits. He's a guy who there were
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: big expectations, and you know, as a true freshman, it's
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: hard to come in, especially since I don't I don't
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: I don't think he en rolled early. I believe he
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: was playing basketball last year, so you know, he came
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: in a little bit late, and I think he caught
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: one PLAF last year. But he's a guy who's got
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: really high expectations. Again, as a five star in state receiver,
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: I'm really curious to see how, you know, what what
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: his increased usage looks like, because again, you don't become
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: a five star they don't think you're talented. And I
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: think there's a lot of talent there. It's just a
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: matter of, you know, what what do they have from
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: these new transfer receivers and what do they think he
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: can bring that maybe they don't have in the room.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Otherwise we won't know it until we know it. And
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: here's what, you know, several things with his staff, So
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: you know, I was talking about this in the first
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: segment about Old miss is. You know, there's some questions
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: that like, for instance, on fourth down, if you're sitting
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: on the forty five, you're on forty five yard line,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: fourth and two, you know, Lane was probably going for it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: What do we anticipate this staff will do in those
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: situations or is it just wait and see find out?
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Maybe they're more conservative, maybe you see the same kind
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: of you know, hey, you know, buckle your chin strap
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: and let's go get it. Do we know that yet?
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think there's there's I mean, I do
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: think there's some wait and see. Now, granted we have
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: seen it a little bit, you know, three playoff games,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: and I think we really saw a glimpse against Georgia
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: with the confidence in Lucas Cornaro to kick those long
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: field goals.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: You know again, it's it's impossible to say what Lane
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: Kiss would have done those situations, but he might have
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: opted to go for it. That's just you know, that's
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: that was his m a lot of the time Lane
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: when he was the head coach. So I you know,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: I don't I don't know if those historic kicks happen,
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: if if if Lane is the coach again, it's impossible
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: to say, maybe he does take the points, but Pete
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: did take the points, and so I do think that
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: gives us a little bit of a glimpse into what
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: he is thinking. He'd really trusts. I mean, he's got
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: the best kick of the country for my money.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: And then I think, too, you know, pizza guy, that's
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: gonna trust that defense. I mean, that's his group, that's
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: where he's made his mark, and and he's still calling
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: the defense. I think that you know, in a situation
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: in where you know, if you know, Miss say it's
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: a fourth and two, uh, in a in a situation
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: that maybe doesn't look great, and he does go forward
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: because he had confidence in that defense. So I think
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: I could see it going both ways. But then, at
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: least from what we've seen, uh in a in a
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: you know, three game sample size, he's gonna trust his
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: players uh as specialists. And I think for for the
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: most part, we've seen him make the smart player.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Make sure to get him on X check him out
• 22:31

• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Our last top ten quarterbacks who I have as the
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: top ten quarterbacks in college football and ranking on metrics
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: that I like to use when I look at my
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: top ten quarterbacks, I've got Julian Saying number one in
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: the country Ohio State, Dante More number two, just behind,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: I mean just percentage points behind Arch Manning number three,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Jade Mavia and look at USC I think he projects
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: very very high. I think Jaden Mavi is a big
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: reason Lincoln Riley has been so vocal over everything you
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: know that it's going on out there in California. Trinidad
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Chamberlass number five, Sam Levi at number six, Darien Minsumamy
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: number seven, CJ. Carr Notre Dame number eight, George's Gunner
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Stockton at number nine, and Josh Hoover at Indiana number ten.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: And look, you can go a lot of different ways.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: I just feel like this year at quarterback, this is
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: such a big year quarterback in college football, and we
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: have ebbs and flows of this every year. Some years
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: are better than others, and I feel like this is
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: one of those years where it is going to be
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: really really good. All right, Let's see, we were talking
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: national championship odds. Also, per ESPN, on exes every few
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: years college football, speaking of quarterbacks brings back a group
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: of quarterbacks set to dominate discussion, flood the races for
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: the Heisman Trophy and other national honors. The intel inside
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Adam Rittenberg, who has put together some stuff on quarterbacks
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: courtesy of ESPN, and when you start looking through this,
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: you know, and he breaks it down to the conferences.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: He says, my goal was to get a range of
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: perspectives not only about established players, but up and coming
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: ones in key roles. Rittenberg says, I spoke with coaches, coordinators,
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: and several general managers across college football to gather they're
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: intel on forty three of the top or turning quarterbacks.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: I tried to avoid these in those in competition, meaning, hey,
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: if it's a guy who might be the starter might
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: not be the starter, then I tried to avoid those.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Arch Manning, of course at Texas is number one on
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: his list out of the SEC and you know, per
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: one coach says quote, he handled the situation last year
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: better than anybody could possibly do. The expectations aren't fair.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: So personally, I hope he has a great year. Hopefully
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: he has an off game against US that was, you know,
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: a unonymous or mad an anonymous head coach says. Coaches
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: say his willingness and selective selectivity on when to run
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: can be a separator as a two hundred and twenty
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: six pound player who moves well, but also his commitment
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: to trusting his arm strength quote, he can absolutely rip
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: it like velocity, accuracy and sec. Defensive coordinator said, he's
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: got a little bit. He got a little bit out
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: of whack and made some mistakes and then people were
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: really defending him. It's going to be really it's going
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: to be really easy this year because people are going
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: to have to double Cam Coleman. He's a real one
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: on one issue kind of so is Ryan Wingo, so
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: you can't double them both. So yeah, me, Manning has
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: two studs at wide receiver, Cam Coleman and Wingo, and boy,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: when you start talking about his options on offense, Hollywood
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: smothers at running back, it's going to be a really
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: good Texas offense. Trinda Chamblasho. We just talked to Michael
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Katz about one coach to quote, you could see his ability,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: his arm strength, his arm talent coming out a Fairris State,
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: a defensive coordinator in the SEC said, and then watching
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: the whole season, his ability to make plays with his
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: feet and then bring things down was exceptional. And also
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Gunner Stockton, who again, you know, Gunner Stockton, on an
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: average year in college football, he would be one of
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: the top two or three quarterbacks in college football. I
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: still think obviously he's the top ten quarterback in college football,
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: but just not a lot of buzz on Gunner Stockton,
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: a guy who completed on a set many percent of
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: his passes last year. Sam Levitt again, I think this
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: is the guy that could end up being the best
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: quarterback in the league. And I'm being honest. I mean,
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: if things go the way that they could go, he
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: could be. And we again, we forget how good Sam
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Levitt was. And I know everybody's immediately going to point
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: to Cam Scataboo, but Sam Levitt two years ago threw
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: for almost three thousand yards as a freshman true freshman,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: twenty four touchdowns and six interceptions. I mean, he had
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: a heck of a year. And then he was second
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: on the team in rushing four hundred and forty three
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: yards and five touchdowns for Sam Levitt as a freshman. Now, granted,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: last year not the year that he wanted, but if
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: you look at it, only played in seven games and
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: he still didn't turn the ball over a lot. Ten touchdowns,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: three interceptions for Sam Levitt last year, sixteen hundred and
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: twenty eight yards through the air and he rushed for
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: five more touchdowns than three hundred and six yards. Now
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: you're putting him with a staff at Lane Kiffin and
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Charlie Wise, Junior had a lot more talent than he's
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: ever had. This could be a really really big year
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: I think for Sam Levitt. And look, you're gonna see
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: it early. They played Clemson Week one. What does that
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: look like? And if Sam Levitt comes out and boy
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: he is dealing LSU is going to be a handful. Obviously,
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: we've talked about Marcel Reid and what he could do
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: for Texas A and m John Mattier. You've heard a
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: lot about John Mattier, as one coach says, quote is
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Washington State tape was way better than how he played
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: last year. A defensive coordinator in the SEC said, but
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: he's a really good quarterback. You've got to do a
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: good job against him. And again, from a tier last
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: year was a kind of a half a sample sized
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: deal even though they made the playoffs and he played
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: through all that, the thumb injury before the Texas game,
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: he was a different quarterback prior to the thumb injury,
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: and then post thumb injury, he was just a totally
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: different guy. And again, people are going to want to
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: see what happens with Lenora Sellers in the SEC. He
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: was one of the top two or three quarterbacks preseason.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: This time last year August eleventh, twenty twenty five, Lenora
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Sellers was there. Byron Brown at Auburn. He's another guy
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: that you know a lot of people feel like is
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: going to You know, if you had two guys that
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: are kind of the second tier, third tier guys in
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: the SEC, when you get past Chamberliss and Manning and Stockton,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: like Mmateier and Marshall Reed, who's the next guys that
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: you could see, maybe maybe by November, have really just
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: punched above their weight. One is Sam Levitt. The other
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: one is Byron Brown at Auburn six three, two thirty five.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: He has built a lot like Lenora Sellers, plays a
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: lot like Lenora Sellers, and may be better than the
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Lenora Sellers, honestly, if we're being honest. So to see
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: what Byron Brown does down at Auburn. And then you
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: know the kind of the forgotten son and all this
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: is Austin Simmons. Because last year at this time when
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: we were talking old mis previews, it was Austin Simmons,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: it was all Austin Simmons. And uh, now he is
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: at Missouri. He's with Eli Drinkwitz, as one coach said,
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: he's got physical talent, but he's a processor and he's
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: a little robotic for me an sec coach set of Simmons,
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: we'll see if they've worked that out of him. Chip
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Lindsay's the offensive coordinator. He's got Garrett Riley as a
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks coach. That's a good staff. We'll see what they do,
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: uh with this stat you know, with Austin Simmons this year,
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: and then of course Camaro Taylor, Kamario Taylor Assissippi State,
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: what does does he project like amongst all of these
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: other good quarterbacks? Can he be middle of the pack?
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Can he be you know, upper echelon of the pack.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Does he does he live at the butt We'd have
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: no idea. We have no idea as one, uh Jeff
• 31:48

  Speaker 4: he took care of the ball throughout the spring. He's
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: got this great understanding that and the only thing that
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: matters is the ball and understanding that we can have
