well Bill is he though he's got to be there all day because you know
2:20
how this goes with Bill. If Bill does not find the hospitality suite quickly,
2:25
Bill is gonna burn the whole thing down. He'll be angry. Yeah,
2:30
wait a minute, wait a minute, So it is a trade off.
2:34
I can't take the hardest working spot. That's that's definitely Bill. He's
2:38
got to be there. At least. I've got someone doing two games on
2:45
Friday, so while I'll only be running games for like twenty three hours instead
2:51
of twenty four hours, Bill's got to be there all day. But he
2:54
does get the free food. I just get that. Back to these hands
3:00
burg is your offering? What are we speaking of? Well, I was
3:01
just gonna offer to bring you some food tomorrow, you know, before I
3:05
head out over there, because you're gonna be up here getting up here.
3:07
I can leave it here, go buy you whatever. Whatever I mean,
3:14
well, not whatever, but you know what I'm saying. No, I
3:15
already said it. Not like a buggy full of food from Costco. Hey
3:19
did your other guy drop out? Are we not? You just have one
3:22
guy helping you for two hours and that's it. No, I got one.
3:29
The weirdo is doing the final two games Friday night, and Sam Brown's
3:35
doing the final two games Saturday night. So this weirdo you speak of is
3:40
only giving you two games, that is it? No? I think he's
3:45
doing one on Saturday. Two. I forgot about that. Okay, glad
3:49
to see that they are trying to give you a little break, a little
3:51
break, so we'll get you fed. We'll get you fed. Let's see
3:55
Rodfield spars up four thirty. You don't watch Missisipi State basketball game last night?
3:59
Did the heck of a game. Heck of a game. And boy,
4:02
I'll tell you what, Misssippi State right there. I know you guys
4:04
have looked at it and talked about it a lot already, But Josh Hubbard
4:08
with the performance he had last night was something to behold. You look at
4:13
Missippi State, big lead at half, just could not hold on. Hubbard
4:15
hits the three to tie it up with about eight seconds ago, and then
4:18
read Shepherd with the sweet shot to win it. And you read Shepherd when
4:29
he came to Kentucky. As Joe Tipton, who covers Kentucky sports for On
4:33
Three, says, I spoke to Kentucky freshman Read Shepherd prior to his enrollment
4:36
at Kentucky and asked him what he expected his role to be in his first
4:41
year. Quote, whatever I need to really do, he said, I'll
4:44
do. If I need to go get water, I'll go get water.
4:46
If I need to go go in and make a shot, I'll go in
4:48
to make a shot. It's kind of mentality you gotta happen. Look,
4:50
he really came in and that Kentucky team is going to go have a chance
4:54
to go deep into the tournament. Look, Misssippi State, to their credit,
4:57
they played really really good, really big atmosphere, and uh they'll be
5:02
they'll be right there. Misipp State, it's going to be fine getting in
5:04
the tournament. It's just where are they going to be and what does that?
5:08
What does that look like? So several things we'll get into. You
5:14
know, they're kind of looking ahead in the basketball weekend. Obviously you got
5:15
the ms ms HSA excuse me Championships Thursday, Friday, Saturday at the coliseum.
5:20
We'll have uh, mister missus basketball next week. But you also got
5:25
the NFL combined several several things out there when we get into some of these
5:29
big ten records by Brad Crawford and football props to Josh Hubbard. He tweeted
5:33
out a photo somebody had took of him and Shepherd kind of looking at each
5:36
other. Then the on the court said a lot of respect for you,
5:40
fifteen with a handshake, emojing, let's see here rella named Texter. I
5:48
don't I don't know what he speaks of. Wow, that was a long
5:50
fall. I'm okay. I decided to dust myself off and climb up,
5:55
back up. What did I miss? What did he fall off of a
5:57
ladder? The ledge Mississippi State baseball ledge? Oh oh oh yeah? Because
6:03
what was the final the game? Nineteen to six? Okay, so what
6:10
he speaks of? Last You know, he's been on the ledge many many
6:15
times over the last two seasons, and last week after that second lost to
6:20
Austin p I appreciate this. It was after hours, as we'll say,
6:25
nine to twenty two PM, because I didn't see it til walked in the
6:28
next day. He just texted, jumped and I sent him an rip,
6:35
but he didn't meet demise. So that's what he speaks of. He's getting
6:40
back up. Well, that's good. We're glad that he's back up,
6:43
and we'll see what happens this weekend. Western Kentucky linebacker coach Jamar Cheney played
6:47
Missippi State. Named the inside linebacker's coach at Baylor, so he moves over
6:51
to Baylor. Lance Leopold, the head football coach at Kansas State signs an
6:57
a mint or seem me Kansas signs an amended contract with Kansas increased is paid
7:00
a seven million annually contract through twenty thirty. Can you believe that they had
7:03
football coach at Kansas make seven million dollars to be a six and six or
7:09
seven and five team. Isn't that crazy? You remember a couple years ago
7:13
were talking about Kansas before when Kansas winning one to two ball games, they
7:15
put like three hundred million dollars into their football stuff. I mean, Kansas
7:17
wants to play football. They're building facilities, they're paying coaches, they're doing
7:23
everything that they need to do. Maryland, which is a really nice team,
7:26
adds home games with Florida Atlantic and twenty five and Hampton and twenty six
7:30
if you care. Courtesy of Ross Dellinger. Leaders are exploring starting bowls and
7:36
we'll get into this story a week earlier. In college football playoff, officials
7:40
are re examining how to treat the Army Navy Game and examine College Football Playoff
7:46
or expanded College Football Playoff puts at risk the future of quote America's game as
7:50
a standalone event and its relevancy in the college football PLAYFF selection quote. We
7:56
are not moving the game. Surely, to goodness, the powers in college
8:01
football will at least respected Army Navy game, will they? They don't give
8:09
me much faith that they will. That is true. And well we got
8:15
we got you all kinds of stuff today. I got a piece yesterday on
8:18
JJ McCarthy. I didn't get too. We will also Dan Wetzel fair unfair.
8:22
Every NFL draft cycle has one player, usually a quarterback, gets run
8:28
through the ringer of debate. JJ McCarthy is that guy this year, and
8:31
he might be able to be or he may be able to uniquely handle all
8:37
of it. So the JJ McCarthy machine is here. It is officially here.
8:41
Combine week. The pieces are coming out left and right. I've got
8:46
one mock draft that has JJ McCarthy as the next Tom Brady for New England.
8:52
I told you this thing is fixed to go off. I mean,
8:54
just bam, you better get anyway you can, you better get that paid
9:00
ts Jersey TV twelve two point oh can he can he do that? Can
9:03
he go? T B twelve two point zero? Like? What create his
9:09
nick name is? That? Is that what you're saying like, yeah,
9:13
he's the Can he be the next Tom Brady? Yeah? I mean all
9:16
he's missing and he's kind of already gotten. It is a ringing endorsement from
9:20
Brady himself. I mean, you gotta think Tom Brady looks at this young
9:26
man like his son, right does he maybe? Does Tom Brady care about
9:33
this man? I wouldn't if I was Tom Brady. I mean, when
9:37
the whole Jim Harball thing went down and he got suspended during the season,
9:43
McCarthy tweeted about it, and Brady retweeted and showed a lot of love,
9:48
and I mean all kinds of stuff. Look publicly, if asked about this,
9:52
and I'm sure he will because the Michigan connection, he'll probably get asked
9:56
about it. You know, Tom Brady, he will say, one hundred
10:00
percent, just the nicest things, politically correct guy. But if someone does
10:07
mention to him that there's a comparison, in his brain, secretly he's thinking
10:13
he's dropping a huge pool on that, and he's saying, that's cute.
10:20
You could be right. You know, old quarterbacks are like, uh,
10:26
they're like kind of like alligators. You know, alligators will sometimes eat their
10:31
own eggs and sometimes you think they want these young quarterbacks to come up and
10:35
be better than them. No, they'll eat them. If they can,
10:39
they will eat them. We're brought to you by Cawboll maloney' seventy years in

11:33
small Michael Brighton talking at SEC Football. In the next segment, you can
11:37
texta six or one eight five, three, seven seven six. That is
11:39
the couple Malonnies textagon. Also, we're brought to you by Maristar Casino.
11:41
Get out and play all right, Bridget Condon, who covers the national football
11:48
leagues. As I am told, Jaden Daniels is a guy Bill Belichick loved
11:52
when he was in New England, top of their draft board. But obviously
11:56
whom being Gonge is is Gerard Mayo in love with him too. So again,
12:01
with a combine, here were you watch any of this? The combine?
12:05
Okay, So with a combine here a lot of speculation you're gonna hear
12:11
over and over again about this quarterback to this team, this quarterback to that
12:13
team, all kinds of stuff. Also, it feels like the Arizona Cardinals
12:18
are on a propaganda tour for Kyler Murray. No question, Kyler Murray's our
12:24
guy. There's a test This is a testament to how far he's come and
12:30
how much he's grown up. Do we know this? Did we see him
12:33
much at all this year? No? And the article I saw yesterday,
12:39
I think this. I think this put it best because you know the Cardinals,
12:46
they they put out on X the other day, it's our guy picture
12:52
Kyler Murray. A lot of fans, a lot of Cardinals fans and NFL
12:58
fans in general. They went back to twenty I think it was twenty eighteen
13:05
and they retweeted they found an old tweet from when Cliff Kingsbury was there,
13:11
and the Cardinal's account tweeted out a picture of Josh Rosen and said, he's
13:16
our guy. Okay, remember that fiasco. Yep, here we are six
13:24
years later doing the same for Kyler Murray. That's not a good Josh Rosen.
13:31
That was a horrible decision. Yeah, not a real good one at
13:35
all. You look at Kyler Murray, it's hard to believe he's been in
13:37
the league. Now. This will be his sixty year. Fifteen six and
13:43
forty seven yards, passing, ninety four touchdowns, forty six interceptions, completion
13:52
percentage around sixty seven percent. I mean, that's it's not bad. It's
13:56
average, right, I mean, it's it's not bad. But the problem
14:00
with him is fumbles. You know, he fumbles the ball a lot.
14:01
He's a small guy. What did you always used to call him? Man
14:05
baby? Yeah, yeah, he's he's a man baby. He's small.
14:09
So I don't I don't know, I mean I don't know that I would
14:11
put what is their record since he's been there. I was like twenty six
14:16
and twenty eight and thirty six, so it's under five hundred. It's a
14:18
very loose organization. So I mean, if that's that's the lot you want
14:22
to ride with, if that's the horse you want to get on and put
14:26
him in the race, then so be it. LSU Heisman Trophy winning quarterback
14:31
Jade and Daniels spent yesterday and today at the Combine meeting with teams such as
14:35
the Bears, Commanders, Vikings, Jets, Giants, Patriots, Raiders,
14:41
Seahawks, and Saints. It's a lot. Do you expect the Saints to
14:43
take a quarterback in this draft? Let's see trying to think because they're gonna
14:50
let Jamis go. They still got Hainer, he's back from his steroid use
15:00
suspension, just restructured Car. Well, that gives you two quarterbacks. It
15:05
depends on you know the thing about how many of these teams want to carry.
15:09
Right most times, it seems like it's only two. I don't know,
15:15
unless they took like a sixth or seventh rounder. Probably not. I
15:20
mean you would think that they're riding with Car. I mean, that's that's
15:24
who they're going to ride with. But if they take a quarterback, it's
15:26
kind of telling, right, because especially if you depend on when you take
15:31
one, it's extremely telling. All right, let's see here Keller Williams.
15:39
Keller Williams stated his goal of playing football. You ready for this now?
15:43
This man is no Jameis Winston. He is not going to wow you with
15:46
words. He is not going to give you metaphors of life, which is
15:50
one of the reasons I love Jameis Winston because when Jamis speaks to you,
15:54
it's almost like a story book. He's almost reading a storybook. Not Kayla
15:58
Williams. He just said, as the saying goes, legends live on,
16:03
that's my goal of playing football. It's not money, it's not even fame,
16:08
but it is to become a mortal. The hell is that, Caleb?
16:14
What's he talking about? That's worse than Jameis Winston. How do you
16:18
become a mortal as a football player? Is that possible? All these legends
16:26
are looked at as immortal. Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Tom Brady,
16:33
Dan wore Is of Torner Gloves, Bradshaw, all those. I get what
16:36
he's saying. But my goal is to be a mortal. Nah, this
16:42
guy, this guy who all of a sudden backtracks now and says specifically,
16:49
I'd be all right to go to the Bears. I don't believe a word
16:56
from this man or his quote camp and that's the word I hate. I
17:03
wonder how many people he rolled up to the combine with fifteen twenty twenty five,
17:07
thirty five half a football team. I have no idea, Spanky,
17:12
do you think the Ravens will sign a running back in free agency of the
17:15
draft? I heard Barkley or Derrick Henry is out there spanking. Possibly they
17:22
need a back. I mean, look, Baltimore. What is Baltimore missing?
17:26
If everything comes back right, what are they missing to make the next
17:29
step, which would be the Super Bowl? H I guess they could use
17:38
the receiver, right, but use a I want to say, a non
17:45
ogre quarterback. But Lamar Jackson had a good regular season. Well it's always
17:52
been on. I don't know. They don't need based off last season,
17:55
just last season. I don't know that they need a ton It's just that
18:00
you have the unfortunate timing of going up against that current Chiefs team. And
18:08
that's everybody in the AFC that even these beloved bills that they keep trying to
18:14
sell me on. Oh, and I'm sure they'll try to say you this
18:15
year. Andy Stables believes Kaya Williams, Drake May, and Jayden Daniels are
18:19
missing out by not throwing at the NFL Combine quote. Anthony Richardson made himself
18:23
a ton of money with the throwing session he partook in. He says,
18:29
I'm looking at this like why not? And of course Chris Sinji was on
18:33
earlier with us this week. You can grab that on the podcast. He
18:34
talked about it and said, you know, it's it's a nothing burger to
18:37
him. But everybody has a different opinion. Matt from Brandon says, hey,
18:41
if a top tier quarterback is available for the Saints, they should they
18:45
should draft a quarterback. Yeah, because you got to wonder lot, you
18:49
know, fair unfair. If Derek Carr is very marginal this year and the
18:52
Saints are not any good, he's going to get a lot of the blow
18:55
back blow back regardless, So would you mean it's car going to be there
18:59
in three years? But what are we talking about? Top tier? Top
19:03
tier is first round. They're certainly not going to take one in the first
19:07
round. So what do we consider top tier. It's got to be one
19:14
of the top picks. Saints aren't gonna have it. They're not going to
19:15
trade up for it. Six one eight nine seven one zero five nine.
19:19
If you want to give us call this some malone. We can call line
19:22
real quickly. In Cuba, officials are meeting this week to discuss now three
19:26
different signing periods per ESPN. We'll get into this late Wednesday in June,
19:30
Wednesday after the regular season, and first Wednesday in February. So they're talking
19:33
about expanding the signing period, trying to adjust some of this calendar stuff that's
19:37
out there. We'll brought to you by Clinton Body Shop sixer one nine two

21:00

21:03
great? Jacob? Thanks for having me as always, man, I appreciate
21:07
you as always having taking a small poll for people that come on, are
21:11
you buying and playing in c doublea football when it comes out? I'm still
21:15
playing in cuble a fourteen? Very good? Yes, Jake, I am
21:21
very very good. Hey, we're joking, but we're not. I think
21:23
we're gonna buy a deal and put it up here so we can play up
21:26
here at the office. So I know that will decrease productivity by a large
21:30
amount, but we'll just have to figure that out. Hey, speaking and
21:33
figuring it out. Texas A and M. Let's go there first. What
21:37
is your take on Elcho and what they have done, at least in the
21:41
transfer portal? We won't. I mean spring practice is about to kick off
21:44
everywhere. But what is kind of the ceiling, the you know, the
21:47
floor? Can he do any better than his two predecessors in Kevin Sumlin and
21:52
Jimbo Fisher? And are you expecting him to? Yeah? I think it's
21:56
uniquely set up for him to do that, Jake, because if he may
22:00
a college football playoff, that's something his predecessor couldn't do. Now, it's
22:04
obviously much easier because it's a twelve team format, but people are at the
22:07
end of the day, they are not gonna care about that. They're gonna
22:10
care how many times you make that and how many times you're competitive competing in
22:15
the SEC. And can he beat Texas? I mean that's well, that's
22:19
something Jimbo didn't have to worry about, but something that else Elko. Sure
22:22
he will. He'll have to beat the Longhorns probably about every time he faces
22:27
him a Kyle Field, they expect to win that game. So maybe there's
22:30
a little bit of added pressure specifically on that one game. But we know
22:34
what we're getting with Mike Eelco. We're gonna be elite on defense. May
22:37
not be elite immediately, but by year two they better be. And I
22:41
really like to hire a Colin Klin at offensive coordinator. I think he is
22:45
someone that is that adjusts to his players and is a new age offensive mind
22:51
for college football, and that is certainly something they were lacking under Jimbo Fisher,
22:56
Michael Bratton on your radio that SEC podcast Final want to exit just search
23:00
for SEC might get in and enjoy today? All right, LSU, I
23:03
don't know what to I mean, look, LSU, we know recruits well,
23:07
they can no matter who's there, They're gonna recruit well. Got to
23:10
replace Jadon Daniels. They feel pretty good about Neu Smeyer doing that in that
23:15
quarterback room, whole new defensive staff. LSU ten to one. I know
23:19
you put this out their courtesy of bet Online Underscore ag to win the SEC.
23:25
They have one, two, three, four, five six best odds
23:26
to win the SEC championship this year at least today. What can you expect
23:30
of LSU and Brian Kelly? Yeah, this is a team, Jake.
23:36
A lot of people are high on and I just I don't get it.
23:38
And that's not to say that they're going to be bad. They just won
23:41
twenty football games in two years in the SEC. That's that ain't easy.
23:45
So I'm not saying they're terrible or anything, but I'm just trying to figure
23:49
out someone that was just completely pathetic on defense. How are we going to
23:55
turn that over in one offseason, even though we've overhauled the coaching staff,
24:00
our best overall player, where for some reason we are dead set on playing
24:04
him at a position which kind of killed his production last year. Looks like
24:08
they're dead set on doing that again. Quarterback won the highest when he's gone
24:12
top two receivers where borderline all Americans they're gone. And they've never been able
24:18
to really have a running game runner Brian Kelly. So why in the world
24:21
is everyone excited? And if you look at their schedule, Jake, I
24:23
mean, it's tricky right out the gate. Southern Cal in Las Vegas,
24:29
Utla the first month as well. That's something that has played Brian Kelly at
24:33
LSU. They can't win the first game, and I think if they don't
24:37
beat Southern Cal, I mean I think we're looking at an eight win team
24:41
at best next season. So I think there's immense pressure for LSU going into
24:47
a game that I think most people expect them to win. But if he
24:49
goes oh for three in season openers, I think it's gonna be a down
24:53
year in LSU. No, I would tend to agree with you. I've
24:56
got them said. If everything goes right at nine and three, that SC
24:59
game is But it's, like you said, kind of where that hinges playing
25:03
against Lincoln Riley breaking in a new quarterback, a lot of new skill talent
25:04
at SC, paper Tiger on defense. So they need to win that game.
25:08
Let me ask you about a few more teams here that we typically don't
25:12
talk about. Kentucky, you know they We've talked about Kentucky with you,
25:18
like a lot of these teams for years with you, and they you know,
25:19
they're they're a really solid football team. Mark Stoops has built a solid
25:23
program. You look at it. Georgia quarterback now coming over in Vander Griff
25:27
can he get them over the edge? And what is over the edge?
25:32
I mean they can they be looking at a playoff spot. I don't think
25:33
that they can compete obviously now with the Georgia's and the Texas Is and Ole
25:37
Misses and Alabama's of this year Tennessee. But can they be in the at
25:41
least a conversation for one of those playoff spots come November. I don't think
25:47
so, Jake, and I think this is one of the main programs that
25:51
is fighting against an in game SEC schedule. Yeah, and I think they're
25:55
going to be upset now that we no longer have East and West divisions,
25:59
because that is resulting in them having to go to old miss heavy favorite.
26:03
I would think for the Rebels in that matchup Auburn. It is in Lexington,
26:08
but I think I would favor Alburn in that matchup. And oh yeah
26:11
at Texas, who I gains heavy favorite Texas. So I don't know,
26:18
Jacob, and you know everyone's circle in Brock vandergriff is potentially the answer.
26:22
I'm not bought in on that, and I think it's clear as day.
26:26
The last couple of years, they've tried to kind of rejuvenate their identity on
26:30
the offensive side of the football. Throwd around more have these high profile quarterbacks,
26:36
and the results have not followed. They need to get back to grounded
26:38
pound. That's where the big Blue Walls. It's been Big Blue gets your
26:44
quarterback killed the last couple of years. We got to re establish that offensive
26:47
line and be a grounded pound and I don't know that they have the players
26:52
to do that right now. So I saw you put this out yesterday,
26:56
Florida hires dan Enos from Arkansas. How should that make Gator fans feel?
27:04
Well, let's just keep him away from game planning, calling plays, coaching
27:08
quarterbacks and if we could do all that, we're good. So yeah,
27:14
I mean, I love the poke Florida fans because they can't seemingly take a
27:17
joke to save their life. But yeah, I believe he's just gonna be
27:21
an analyst. But you know that's not going to help anything there. I
27:25
don't think Billion Naper. I don't know what in the world he's thinking bringing
27:27
in dan Enos Now, is he overqualified to be an analyst? Sure,
27:32
but again, if you need that guy's help, you're in more trouble than
27:36
I thought. And man, I'm just shaking my head at the fact they
27:41
brought in a guy that engineered one of the worst offenses in all of college
27:45
football last year. Speaking of stay, let's stay with Arkansas theme. Can
27:48
Bobby Petrino could not do it for Jimbo Fisher. Can he go back to
27:53
Arkansas already there and save Sam Pittman's job this year? Potentially, Jake,
28:00
because I'm a little curious, and you're not. You're not alone, so
28:03
I'm not calling you out specifically, but I'm a little confused why people say
28:06
he didn't get it done to A and M. I mean, they went
28:07
from averaging twenty two points per game to thirty three in one offseason, and
28:12
that's with three different quarterbacks due to injuries. So I thought Bobby Petrino did
28:18
a pretty good job at A and M last year, given that you know,
28:22
now we know he had to go to Jimbo's terminology, Jimbo still had
28:26
his hands on it and everything like that, so we know Sam Pittman's not
28:30
going to do that. Now. The bigger question, I think, who
28:33
will Arkansas have a quarterback? And even more important is how that offensive line
28:38
looked? Because never in my life, Jake, what I thought Sam Pittman's
28:42
teams the week this would be the offensive line, but it really has been,
28:45
particularly last year and really the last two years. So can they get
28:49
that resolved because they could have the best quarterback in the SEC, even though
28:53
we know they won't. But if they don't have any offensive line, it's
28:59
not going to matter. And I'll be fired if they can't get that result.
29:03
Michael Bratton talking SEC football, Wednesday edition of the program. Let me
29:06
get you out of here with the Alabama question. Man, so much change,
29:10
and of course you know some of this is negligible, but new coach
29:12
Ivison Debor, he's on social media, new play by play voice as they
29:19
move away, you know, from one of the greats, and Eli Gold.
29:22
Just a ton of stuff and I saw where I don't know if this
29:26
is good or not. More access maybe than ever for the media at spring
29:30
practice for Kaylen de boor as well. What does he do with Jalen Milroe?
29:36
Is he the quarterback this year? Can he adapt to what Milroe does
29:40
and kim Miilroe adapt to what you know the coach does. Yeah, Jake,
29:45
I feel bad for the media members because if Alabama goes into the disc
29:49
like some assume that next coach is gonna strip away all those availabilities. I'm
29:55
blaming on the media, you know, for asking questions during the week.
29:57
My god, But yeah, I mean to answer your question. I think
30:02
Jaylen Milros I think he's horribly underrated. I guess it's just because we saw
30:07
him last in Michigan and it was obviously not impressive. A lot of that
30:11
had to do with the fact that his center cannot snap the ball to him.
30:15
But I mean, we're talking about a guy that is he's the leading
30:18
returning vote getter for last year's Heisman Trophy and everybody's throwing him in the trash,
30:22
saying he can't play football. Well, I think he's going to be
30:26
much better prepared this year playing for cander to Board than he was for Tommy
30:30
Reeze, who last I check, is now a tight ends coach in the
30:33
NFL. I think Jaylen Millroe is gonna be one of the surprise players in
30:37
the SCC. I'm more concerned about Alabama's defense than I am the offense heading
30:42
into this new era without Nick Davids. Make sure to get the podcast That

Rightfield as bars at four thirty possum Nick Joe, Yeah, Jake. They
32:44
say son of Sam and Charles Manson were real funny at guys. Also speaking
32:47
of I don't know what he means. Joe, what do you? Who
32:52
were you talking about? You? You must have said someone was funny.
32:57
I don't remember. It was in reference maybe to Jamis Winston. I have
33:00
no idea. Sounds yeah, sounds likely, unnamed Texter. Let's see,
33:08
Saints need a real quarterback, cars not the man two inconsistent. Saints need
33:13
to trade up. Titans need to keep Henry. Henry and Big Jeff Simmons
33:17
are fan favorites, trust me. They need to make the fans happy or
33:22
they will have an empty stadium. I think the Titans will probably keep Simmons
33:25
for sure, but I think it could be time, not that I agree
33:30
with it, to move away from Henry residg Jake, please tell me there
33:34
are no MSU sports today for me to be disappointed about. I don't know
33:38
of any unless they're swimming today. They could be swimming today, but you're
33:43
safe on the other sports, all right, Texas A and M You know
33:51
it's just weird for Florida. They hired Danny knows who was awful at Arkansas
33:55
Texas. A and M is also hiring away Florida director of scouting and Recruiting
33:59
relations Joe Hamilton for a significant personnel and recruiting role. Heel sources. Hamilton,
34:05
and native of a Texas, was a huge part in Florida's recruiting the
34:07
last two years, which was very good. So Billy Napier loses his recruiting,
34:12
his top recruiting game, and people think I'm crazy for picking Florida to
34:16
go to and ten, three and nine somewhere in that space. This is
34:22
a This is likely the worst Florida football program since right after World War Two.
34:29
It's awful, absolutely awful. They're gonna wish they had Jim mcelwainback.
34:37
Josh Pate Late Kick Josh says Florida State will not be in the ACC much
34:42
longer. He says, I think it could happen by twenty twenty five.
34:45
So on his podcast The Late Kick with Josh Paate, he was talking about
34:51
this yesterday that he thinks by twenty twenty five they're gone. I think that's
34:54
probably true. With all of this stuff we've talked about. Now, where
34:58
are they going? Where? Do you think they're gonna really go because they're
35:01
going somewhere, They've already got deals in play, so they wouldn't be working
35:06
this hard to get out. Well, I think it's got to be sec
35:10
or Big ten. But so now, are they just gonna say screw it
35:16
and throw out that money that's been the issue. Yeah, it sounds like
35:22
they've got several options on way to ways to borrow and then pay back the
35:24
money. Yeah, a negotiated price of sorts. You might as well.
35:30
You've you might as well. You've been bitching about this for two years now,
35:37
don't act like in modern college football programs don't have ridiculous money. I
35:45
don't now, but it's extremely ridiculous money that's gonna take them to get out
35:52
of there. Correct, but just do it or shut up? But I
35:55
find that interest in twenty five, so only one more season? I don't
36:02
know. I feel like that's still a little too rich. Yea out there
36:07
well by twenty five, which means it probably wouldn't start till twenty six,
36:12
right before the new television contracts come up, which would make sense. Have
36:15
Florida State in place wherever they're gonna go, and then you can put that
36:19
in your quote media package to the networks. Hey, we've got this footprint,
36:24
whoever you are, Big ten or SEC. We're also adding Tallahassee,
36:29
Florida and the Panhandle. A lot of people in the SEC that you talk
36:34
to feel like, no, it's not gonna be the SEC. The SEC
36:36
doesn't need, you know, two teams in the state of Florida, and
36:39
we've already SEC has already got Florida covered up. I tend to disagree.
36:43
I think they need Florida State. Do you want the Big ten hanging around
36:47
down here in the South. No, because they're everywhere right now, they're
36:52
not in the South. But if Florida State, now you have a satellite
36:55
office of sorts in talla Hassee of a Big ten team, do you really
37:00
want that? I think you have to protect your turf. I thought Florida
37:07
State, if this was gonna happen, I thought Florida State made since to
37:10
the SEC from the beginning. Why not you're basically covering Florida. You go
37:17
get Miami after that, and it's you know, you got the whole state.
37:21
But that's my point. Yes, Florida and Florida State, that's seventy
37:24
percent of the state. You got covered there. And a lot of people
37:27
have said, oh, you to Miami, that's they're more fitted for the
37:30
Big ten. No, I just what you said. I think if you're
37:31
the SEC, just out of principle, you say, you know what,
37:35
Florida is our state. Boy, that came out weird, didn't it.
37:38
Florida is our state. And you take Florida state and you take Miami.
37:44
Am I looking at Gator Matt right now, who's this or Dan Mullen,
37:49
this is our state? You remember that? No, I remember that,
37:54
but we're talking about Florida. Oh okay, Gator Matt would be the one
37:58
to say this is our state. That's true. That's true. Or if
38:01
you did that, then in the SEC, Florida State could literally say talk
38:05
about Miami and Florida and go to the school up north regard of the other
38:07
Florida Mami, say the school down south, and then they could be east
38:10
and west. Might as well gonna get Central Florida too. No, cince
38:15
Florida gonna do that. They're gonna stand in the Big twelve. Brad Crawford
38:17
already predicts his way too early. Finished in the SEC, we'll see what
38:20
he has to say. Also, calender Boor softens Alabama's media access policy.
38:27
I had a spring Is this a good idea about idea softens the media access
38:32
policy? Yeah, I mean meaning they're gonna have more access you can come
38:37
in to watch spring practice. Probably there's a piece on this. We'll see
38:40
exactly what it details out. But he's doing everything Nick Saban wouldn't do.
38:45
He's getting on social media soften it up for the media. I don't like
38:51
this for Alabama. Eh, yeah, I think it. If those are
38:53
two options, doing things unlike Nick Saban or like Nick Saban, you might
39:00
want to do more like sabin Wood because he's going to soften this deal up
39:04
for the media. And one of the first questions he's going to get in
39:07
spring practices, so, coach, do you you know because you know me,
39:09
he asked just stupid questions. Now, so, coach, do you
39:13
like the person that asked a question about the Super Bowl and the fact of
39:15
the weather when it was in a dome or one of those playoff games or
39:19
something, remember that here recently? Yeah, so you know he's going to
39:22
get a question from some bad media person. It's going to be something like
39:28
coach, So do you really feel you can live up to the expectations of
39:31
Nick Saban? What happens if you go nine and three of those dumb questions
39:36
are going to come in? Right? Yeah, that he doesn't want to
39:37
answer. You know, I'm glad you brought this dumb media questions up because
39:44
the other day, I think it was Sunday a NFL network, they do
39:46
their top ten lists, and this show was the top ten HBCU players of
39:53
all time. They were talking about Doug Williams, and I was reminded of
39:57
the time that when he would to the Super Bowl with the Redskins, a
40:00
media member asked him, when did you know you were an African American quarterback?
40:07
Really that happens? Yeah, I knew this at one point and I
40:10
just completely forgot about it. How dumb? How dumb is that? That
40:15
was an all time dumb one dumb one. Look, we need media,
40:22
you need to know what's going on. But we know the state of the
40:24
state of media as a whole in this country is very loose and regardless of
40:29
what you subscribe to, a lot of Americans are very hesitant of news that
40:37
they get. And if you want to know why you go to questions just
40:39
like that. But the media likes to build themselves up as the end all
40:45
be all. They are the experts. They tell you about science, they
40:47
tell you about sports, they tell you about politics, the But then you
40:52
just remember questions like that to Doug Williams thirty years ago, dumb questions about
41:00
asking about how you're gonna handle the weather in the Super Bowl or a playoff
41:04
game when it's in a dome. Media's got to clean it up. This
41:08
whole holier than now our stance that they got. They're flat garbage, you
41:14
know what they are. They're vanderbilting football. Our two up next, Remember

talking MHSA Basketball Championships down at the Big House. Raphaelo spars at four thirty,
42:30
And this will be the last show of the week because we'll have basketball
42:31
tomorrow and Friday and Saturday. Let's go to Winslow on the Malone roofing call
42:36
of line. Whin's Loow. Welcome him, Jake, I cannot believe I'm
42:39
coming to the defense of the Clarity Ledger. Wow, but I really,
42:44
I really have to, Okay. The reporter who asked that question was Butts
42:50
john who worked for the Clarion Ledger for many years. He wrote sports and
42:53
then he wrote general news. The question that he asked quoted column he wrote
43:00
later. He says, obviously, you've been a black quarterback all your life.
43:07
When did it start mattering? Because everybody was making such a big deal
43:10
out of a black quarterback you know, getting to the Super Bowl. Yes,
43:15
So according to Butch, he was in the back of the room and
43:17
somebody had to repeat the question, and the way it got repeated was,
43:22
well, when did you start becoming a black quarterback? And so that's what
43:27
got reported. But Butch wrote a column and basically said, here's what I
43:30
asked him, here's what got reported. And if you think about what he
43:35
says, he asked, that's a very good question. You know, obviously
43:38
you've been a black quarterback your entire life, but when did it start to
43:44
matter or make a difference, you know? And but yeah, I got
43:47
to come to Butchers to fifth. I didn't always agree with what he did,
43:51
but he was a pretty good writer and he does not deserve that grief.
43:55
No, I appreciate you sharing that, you know, because we see
43:58
this not just in that but we said a lot of times right in media.
44:00
Uh, it could be a headline that gets worded wrong, somebody gets
44:05
interviewed, maybe it's just picked apart and there's a narrative made. And look,
44:07
this can go across sports or politics or life or whatever. Now you
44:13
know, it's it's not always the message, it's the delivery of the message,
44:15
and a lot of times they get skewed, right. Yeah, I've
44:17
heard some some you know, iological questions. I've seen the video with that
44:22
one about the game in Detroit, I think, and then years ago and
44:27
when I covered basketball, was at a game where both centers got two files
44:32
right before halftime, so they put in the third string sitter. He does
44:36
really well, gets a couple of points, a couple of rebounds, and
44:38
in post games somebody asked the coach, well, so and so did did
44:42
really Weather? Why didn't you starting the second half? And the coach just
44:45
kind of smiles this U Well, we were saving him for later in the
44:49
game. Yeah, Yeah, it's it's it's a lot of stuff out there.
44:53
But hey, look I appreciate you sharing that story with us. All
44:57
righty Bil, thanks so much. Six one eight nine seven ones. That
45:00
is the Malone Roofing Coline. We're brought to you by Marris Star Cassino,
45:02
four great restaurants to serve you on the property, and the Bottleneck Blues Bar.
45:07
Yep. Winslow's absolutely right. This is from a two thousand and seven
45:13
Orlando Sentinel column. But John, and it's exactly what win Slow said.
45:17
He asked Doug. It's obviously you've been a black quarterback all your life.
45:22
When did it start to matter? So that got switched around and apparently it
45:28
stuck around. I got got by it because I've been hearing that for years.
45:34
But here's the Okay. But then I think it's one thing for me
45:37
to get got a JABBRONI nobody in Jackson, Mississippi. But this was the
45:45
NFL network's top ten list. They were talking about it in the show.
45:50
They had current and former NFL players reacting to how stupid the question was.
45:55
So maybe NFL Network, you might want to it's another thing for you to
46:02
get got Well, a lot of outlets they don't do their homework. There's
46:08
just no homework done. I mean, look at how far we've talked about
46:12
this before. Sports Illustrated has fallen, and this is in a day that
46:15
we're trying to bash on you know, traditional media or anything like that.
46:19
It's just looking at it and going, hey, this is what this is.
46:21
Objectively? What is happening Sports Illustrated with their lazy ways with AI and
46:27
just everything that they did. The ap getting doaxed by a fake Tennessee account
46:36
on X about Jalen Milroe hitting the transfer portal when Nick Saban retired and putting
46:43
an article out about it, and it was not even true. So there's
46:46
just a lot of people that just they don't do their homework, and I
46:50
think, frankly, they're kind of dumb. They're just they're not that smart.
46:53
They're just not that smart at all. All right, let's see here
46:57
unnamed textra. Eventually the SEC gets Georgia Tech back, Florida State and Clemson
47:01
Big ten will get Utah, maybe Pitt or Notre Dame. Look, at
47:07
this point, anything can happen, right, I don't know does the SEC
47:10
want Georgia Tech back? I mean, I know Georgia Tech was one of
47:15
the founding fathers of the Southeastern Conference. But what does the rambling wreck of
47:20
Georgia Tech bring the SEC? Nothing? A much more competitive game for Vanderbilt
47:29
than they usually play two horrible teams. Did you know that the Kansas City
47:36
Chiefs have a reimagined, as they call it, Arrowhead Stadium eight hundred million
47:42
dollars. I have to get into the story. Their fans are roasting roasting
47:46
them for this, and let's see here. Good lord, this is such
47:54
a wild story. Court rules we'll get to this airline must honor AI chatbots
47:59
four hundred an eighty three dollars refund promise. So AI AI has had a
48:04
bad couple of weeks. Bad couple of weeks, all right, Brad Crawford
48:07
two four seven Sports dot Com on the Big Ten. I want to get
48:10
into that. I also want to get into this J. J. McCarthy
48:13
stuff. Sec win predictions by Brad Crawford also looks like a spars is gonna
48:22
have to hold on. Let me just send this to him real quickly.
48:30
Okay, let me just put that out there, all right, sec Win
48:34
predictions. Brad Crawford has his pre spring Vanderbilt record at three and nine in
48:42
conference oh and eight. I think that is fair. Arkansas he has at
48:45
five and seven with a one in seven finish. Mississippi State and Jeff Levy
48:52
pooh four and eight and one in seven, four and eight and one in
48:59
seven. Says, right here, there's going to be a considerable, considerable
49:06
traction around Missippi State and first year coach Jeff Levy when the Bulldogs start the
49:09
SEC season with an upset win over Florida at home. So see, he
49:15
has Florida them beating Florida as well, but that's as good as it's going
49:19
to get in year one four program in transition games against Texas and Georgia on
49:22
the road follow and there's a nationally ranked traffic against Tennessee, Missouri and Ole,
49:27
miss in November. That's brutal for Levy and company. South Carolina real
49:32
quickly. A couple more of these. He's got five and seven and two
49:36
and six, Kentucky seven and five and three and five. He's got Florida
49:43
at six and six. Here's no way in hell Florida's getting six and six.
49:49
So it's getting to a bowl. Eligibility could be central for billion Aapy
49:52
to keep his job past twenty twenty four, and it's not a lot by
49:55
any means. Facing the nation's tough schedule. Toughest schedule why most metric.
50:00
Florida plays eleven Power Conference opponents, including Miami, Central Florida, and Florida
50:05
State. In the non con the only cupcake is Sanford in week two,
50:09
switched a sandwich between the Keynes Miami Hurricanes in the open in Texas, A
50:14
and m It's going to be difficult to ask the Gators to get to six
50:19
and six, with the rest of the schedule Tennessee, Georgia, Texas A
50:21
and m Ill Missing, Florida State, Saint Louis Vick Jake, do you
50:25
know which conferences are conference? Do those officials who worked the ms U Jackson
50:31
State game yesterday are from? I nearly fell out of my chair when I
50:35
heard the name Javarro January. I remember him at Callaway playing football and baseball.
50:42
Javarro January is a really good friend of mine, and it's been interesting
50:45
you bring him up. Man, that guy has worked his rear end off.
50:49
I haven't talked and I haven't not talked to Javarro and quite some time,
50:52
but I know that he is has been working as a SEC official behind
50:58
the plate, so I think it was a Southeastern Conference. I think he's
51:01
in the Southeastern Conference. I know he's working this SE's tournament last year.
51:06
And he was a heck of a football and basketball or baseball player. Heck
51:09
of a football and baseball player and super good guy. So it's interesting,
51:13
Vic that you bring up Javarro. That is very interesting. I did not
51:16
see the game yesterday. I was unaware that he was working the game yesterday,
51:20
but I'm almost sure if he was there, that's going to be a
51:22
Southeastern Conference crew that was working that game. Jason and Flagstaff. Kentucky football
51:28
is an enigma. They're capable of beating anyone who beats themselves and no one
51:31
who doesn't. And Beth Mowen's offspring Good Day Mates, Go Balls and Broncos
51:39
Falls may win a Natty and at least one sport this year. Also,
51:44
please do not draft McCarthy, Kirk Cousins or bust and Pug. That dude
51:52
is drunk. Florida might not get three wins. I bet he's gonna give
51:58
Colorado ten as well in resdog after last year. The guy is right.
52:00
MSU sucks. Do you think Jeff Levy will go four to eighth this year?
52:10
I mean that's tough. He's got Auburn seven and five and three and
52:14
five, Oklahoma seven and five, three and five, Tennessee nine and three,
52:17
five and three, Missouri nine and three five and three, Texas A
52:22
and M nine and three, six and two, Alabama ten and two,
52:28
six and two three way time for fourth, LSU ten and two, Ole,
52:34
miss eleven and one, Georgia eleven and one, and Texas eleven and
52:38
one. It's Brad Crawford two four to seven sports dot com. So he's
52:43
got a three way tie at the top between Texas, Georgia and Ole,

53:51
the Missippi Coliseum. Boys and Girls Championships twenty twenty four. Adam Johnson,
53:54
General manager of the MHSA kind of take some time away. I know he
53:59
is running and gunning as always. Adam, Welcome Ince or how are you
54:01
Jay. Great to be with you. Absolutely, it's a wide open here
54:05
at Mississippi Coliseum. But if you like basketball, this is the place you
54:08
want to be right now. It's wild a lot of them being played,
54:12
a lot of really good basketball being played before we get to tomorrow through Saturday.
54:16
Take us through how the week's being. Obviously a lot of basketball.
54:20
We talk about this. I was talking to Sam Williams out of Brandon last
54:22
week about this is you know, he agreed, this could be the hardest
54:27
tournament of all the tournaments that you play in high school sports in the state
54:30
of Mississippi to just hey, congratulations, you get to the big house.
54:34
Now you got to pay all the week long. So talk a little bit
54:36
about how the week's been. Absolutely well. Even taking a step back past
54:39
the week, you get for the first couple of rounds and last week quarterfinal
54:43
sites that we hosted at six sites throughout the state. So you know,
54:47
you're on a neutral floor in the in the quarterfinals, so that's difficult and
54:52
a neutral site. Then you get to semifinals, here that are played starting
54:57
Monday. We tipped off at nine o'clock Monday morning. We played eight games
55:00
on Monday, we played eight games on Tuesday, and we are now in
55:04
game number five of eight today. So then we will be done with all
55:08
of our semifinals this even except for one session of semifinals we'll play starting at
55:14
nine o'clock tomorrow morning. That'll be seven A Boys and Girls semifinals, and
55:17
then we'll take a little bit of a deep breath in the afternoon starting about
55:22
three o'clock and at six o'clock finals will tip off with one A Boys and
55:25
Girls tomorrow night, and then we'll have six six games of finals on Friday
55:30
and six games of finals on Saturday. So a lot of basketball has been
55:35
played, but there is still a lot of basketball to be played. Yeah,
55:37
it looks like if I'm on and of course I know this is not
55:40
in real time, just because you guys have to update as close. You've
55:44
got basically all the championships set up to this point except for four, six
55:49
and seven A. Is that correct. Let's see, I'll tell you exactly.
55:52
We've got everything except for six and seventy four eight is set that finished
55:55
A little while ago concluded with Raymond claiming the final spot in UH in class.
56:02
For A boys, they will play McComb and then Tishimingo County and Morton
56:07
for A girls. Those are the two sets of semi finals that we played
56:10
earlier today in and knocked out. So we got six and seven a lefts
56:15
to be decided. Adam Johnson, general manager of the mhs A on your
56:19
radio, We're gonna tell you about tickets, how to get down there,
56:22
what's going on? Of course, championships going on right now. You got
56:23
the uh you know the semi is going on. Championship start tomorrow night,
56:27
Adam. A lot of familiar names. I mean you look at this Boonville,
56:30
Boonville boys and girls. I mean they just they just kind of,
56:34
you know, have a reservation. It seems like Ingemar. You look at
56:37
Canton, Yazoo City, Laurel, Lumberton, you know, Blue Mountain making
56:43
a trip now Biggersville. Absolute A lot of familiar faces and then some new
56:49
ones as well. There is you know, that's the fun thing you talked
56:52
about being that tough. We've seen some some perennial ones that you'd think go
56:57
down as we Takshaw Central girls got beaten overtime with a little bit of a
57:00
talks this morning. Madisonville missed basketball, you know, and her team taking
57:05
an exit a little earlier than they probably anticipated. So you know, that's
57:08
the thing about it. You get down here, anything can happen with that.
57:10
A couple overtime games. We've had a couple of those games that really
57:14
weren't even close on the tip offs. But that's kind of the way it
57:16
goes. You get down here and you get hot, and you get in
57:19
a new building, and you know, anything can happen. So that's part
57:22
of the excitement here. As you know, you've got some some familiar teams,
57:25
some new teams, but sometimes it's the center Cinderella that comes in and
57:30
maybe nobody expects to get hot down here, but take on the title.
57:34
So excited to see what happens the next couple of days. You know,
57:37
I tell people all the time, this is my favorite event that we run.
57:39
It is a long, long week, forty two games of basketball over
57:45
six days, which we used to say it was a lot when it was
57:46
thirty six games of basketball over six days, but now that we've gone to
57:51
seven eight at forty two games, but it is just electric all day long.
57:54
We laugh about it. It's like being in a casino. You get
57:57
in here and watch basketball and you have no idea what time it is anymore
58:00
because you just get immersed into basketball. But it is a lot of fun.
58:04
It's been a great atmosphere. We've that's some great crowd. There's been
58:07
not only a lot of people, but energetic crowds that are really into it.
58:13
You might even be able to hear it. I'm out in the hallway.
58:14
You probably hear it a little bit in the background, as we've got
58:16
a good crowd in there right now. So definitely encourage folks if you listening,
58:21
come out to the Mississippi Coliseum to catch six A basketball this evening.
58:24
We've got girls semi finals at six day going on right now, and then
58:29
boys will start at seven o'clock. Will be our first boys game tonight,
58:34
and then seven A semifinals in the morning, and then we'll start playing championships
58:37
tomorrow night. Adam, how can people get tickets if they want more information
58:40
on the event? Obviously it's at the Missippi Coliseum, but as far as
58:45
you know, just parking an event, just getting there getting in all of
58:47
that good stuff. Absolutely no charge for parking, So come on out Missisippi
58:52
Coliseum. Drive around the backside. So if you come in on Tis Street,
58:54
come around the building. That's the doors that we used to come in.
58:59
Tickets are fifteen you can buy at the gate. I know line's got
59:01
really long. Last night we had a huge crowd here between Provine and Canton,
59:06
boys and girls both being here. So we would do encourage go online
59:09
to go fan and buy your tickets digitally. Go be on your phone.
59:13
All you do is show them. They activate them right they're coming in the
59:15
door, so it saves you a lot of hassle. That's the easiest way.
59:20
If you're not able to get out, then right now on the NFHS
59:23
network, which you can go to m I S S H S A A
59:28

1:02:30
ag on your radio SPARSA welcome in brother. What's going on? Not much,
1:02:36
Just trying to figure out the time difference that I am in Mississippi because
1:02:39
some people who text times can relate to times. So I know you don't
1:02:44
give a lot of weather there and you always talk about acc stuff, so
1:02:49
it could be mixed and true. But yeah, I'm just trying to figure
1:02:52
out what the stuff is. Yeah, I appreciate you moving around. We
1:02:54
got high school basketball championships tomorrow through Saturday, and Beaver's a static. He's
1:02:59
working like fourteen hours every day and I know he's excited about that. So
1:03:04
apologies for the I'll put some lines up. I'll put some Mississippi high school
1:03:07
championship basketball lines though for you guys. I like that. Yeah, send
1:03:10
him over to me and I'll make sure to get him out and give you
1:03:14
credit for it. All right, NFL Combine, do you like it.
1:03:16
Do you not is it? How do you feel about it? I think
1:03:21
it a little bit overrated. I mean, when was the last time we
1:03:23
annoying to a guy going straight to the to the Hall of Fame because he
1:03:28
bench pressed more than a forty nine or he beats what's his name, Stephan
1:03:32
P's bench press record at fifty. I think it's kind of funny and comical
1:03:38
more than anything. I like to see other people who he's really fast and
1:03:42
he's not really that fast, so it's more. But that means nothing to
1:03:46
me And how I handicapped games, futures or anything. No, and that
1:03:51
makes sense. I mean, you know to me, you look at it.
1:03:54
We had Chris Landry on and you look at some of the storylines,
1:03:57
like does it make sense that quarterbacks throw or not throw? For instance,
1:04:00
William's not throwing, Drake May is not throwing, Jane Daniel's not throwing.
1:04:02
Chris Andrew says it's nothing Burger others say that it is. How do you
1:04:06
look at that? I mean, they're not throwing, but they're coming for
1:04:09
the interviews. They're just going to wait for Pro Day. I think the
1:04:12
top three or four quarterbacks don't need to throw. But if you're let's say
1:04:16
the two lane quarterback or something like that, then I think you have to
1:04:19
throw. You just want your name out there. But like I would say
1:04:24
that my cutoff will be McCarthy from Michigan. I would say in the top
1:04:28
three and then add here everyone else I think needs to probably throw and needs
1:04:31
to do that because now you're just battling for position. Are you a second
1:04:34
round, third, fourth, fifth? Now you're battling for position. But
1:04:38
the top four I think don't need to throw. Raphael As spars on my
1:04:42
Bookie dot Ag getting in play today. Win's the edition of the program a
1:04:45
day earlier than normal. All right, so Beaver is getting tired and not
1:04:49
buying the JJ McCarthy hype. There is a lot of that, as you
1:04:53
well know, are you buying McCarthy if he's a stock, are you selling
1:04:58
him off? I think people are buying it just because of who else went
1:05:02
to Michigan and wasn't a highly draft pick or highly touted Tom Brady a hardwell
1:05:09
kind of grooms quarterbacks and stuff like that. I could see the hype.
1:05:12
He's probably going to be one of those nice game managers, you know,
1:05:15
not throw picks, studies the game, really good in the locker room,
1:05:18
real good leader. But I mean to win a super Bowl right away,
1:05:21
or be a Rock Purty, or be one of these top three quarterbacks.
1:05:25
No, I don't think that's going to happen. I think it'd be a
1:05:27
good game manager. Let's move the guys that are in the league this Kyler
1:05:32
Murray. I mean Arizona has gone all in, like this is our guy.
1:05:36
You know they did a year ago, they didn't do this. Remember
1:05:39
they were going to penalize him for playing video games all that. But now
1:05:42
it's he's the guy, franchise guy. Is he really What has he done
1:05:46
over the last year to warrant this. I think they're kind of stuck in
1:05:51
a hard place. I mean, they had that contract that he's still stuck
1:05:56
with. I mean he did play okay, went back from his injuries last
1:05:59
year. I think we need one or two pieces, maybe in a draft
1:06:02
of free agents. I think we can see if he is maybe that guy.
1:06:06
But I think they're just stuck because into the can't really draft one of
1:06:10
the top quarterbacks. I think they can get a good offensive piece that surrounds
1:06:14
him. But I was impressed at how he came back last year injurty.
1:06:17
He did play pretty well. All right, Let's shift to college basketball.
1:06:23
Which conference is the best conference? Not the most teams going into the tournament?
1:06:29
Who's the best conference? I mean, I wish I could say the
1:06:33
Mountain West, but I'm gonna say probably maybe Big Ten or Biggie just because
1:06:40
of Purdue and Yukon. Marquech just hit a snag with what's his name going
1:06:44
to be out because of his grades. But I think Purdue, I think
1:06:47
they last a bit longer. Don't sleep on Illinois. I think they can
1:06:51
make some noise in the tournaments, but again I don't want to blow Don't
1:06:57
sleep on Utah State in this tournament day they can shock some heads. I
1:07:02
mean, it was gonna say SEC because of Bama. I like Bama over
1:07:05
Kentucky. I'll give them a little bit higher grade on that one. But
1:07:09
I'm gonna go Purdue just because of Illinois. I think Illinois can shock some
1:07:13
people in the tournament. Southeastern Conference legitimate or fulls goal in the tournament coming
1:07:19
up and which we got to see the bracket. We still got a while,
1:07:21
but Missippi State Kentucky played a phenomenal game last night Kentucky with the walkoff
1:07:25
shot. Amazing basketball game. But you bought or sell in the Southeastern Conference.
1:07:30
I'm buying some of them, not all of them. I do like
1:07:32
Tennessee even though they have a big game, a ton nice. I like
1:07:35
how they become. Auburn can be a very shocking. Alabama needs to play
1:07:41
Alabama type ball. If they get a bad matchup, they can easily go
1:07:44
out pretty early. But they get a good matchup, they can make some
1:07:46
noise in the tournaments. But I'm going to say probably Tennessee and Auburn would
1:07:53
be the ones that I would probably look for. I don't want to say
1:07:56
go far, but you know, get some advancements in the tournament. Do
1:07:59
we still hold the ACC in the highest of regards. I mean they're always
1:08:03
going to be. They're the They're the NCC of football, will put it
1:08:08
that way, because they got Duke, they got North Carolina, which North
1:08:11
Carolina is gonna be about. They have so many experienced guys on that team
1:08:15
that's been there before. I don't see any but of course they're going to
1:08:18
be in the cramp O, the cram just because of North Carolina and Duke.
1:08:23
What about the Big East? We were talking to Yukon, Marquette,
1:08:26
Creighton, Saint John's a lot of great names in basketball, a lot of
1:08:30
history there, But what about as far as there? I guess you could
1:08:33
say power grab in, you know, in a piece of this tournament.
1:08:36
I like Yukon, but I really like Creighton. Yeah, they have a
1:08:40
big matchup tonight. I really like how they play at home and on the
1:08:45
road, because she's a three ball on the road just as good as they
1:08:48
can shoot a three ball at home. And they play really really good team
1:08:50
team defense. I like Creighton. I mean a court kind is going to
1:08:55
be up to a few con But if I had to buy stock, I
1:08:57
probably would buy a little bit more Stockgun Crayton than I would Yukon. And
1:09:00
the Big Twelve? Is it Houston and everybody else? I mean, obviously
1:09:03
Kansas is always going to be right there. They're plus five fifty, say
1:09:05
to win the Big Twelve championship this year. Iowa State's got a nice team,
1:09:10
Baylor's going to be there. But is it Houston and everybody else this
1:09:13
year? I think it's Houston in Iowa State is not that far. I'm
1:09:16
not Soling, Kansas. They've just they played when they want to play,
1:09:19
and look what happened yesterday they got wiped out by BYU, So I can
1:09:24
see them bowing out pretty early. But I like this Iowa State team.
1:09:28
So I'm going to say Houston is cram with the cram they're the number one
1:09:30
team right now. But don't sleep on this Iowa State team. I think
1:09:33
they can shock some people in the tournament. Ayman, min Iowa State.
1:09:35
We might go to San Diego State. Last year, Iowa State can probably
1:09:40
make the final four. And you said again, but your favorite conference is
1:09:43
which one? The mount West? I'm just I'm really shocked on how well
1:09:47
Mountain West Conference basketball has played this year. I mean, it's been some
1:09:50
fantastic games all season along San Diego State, Utah State, Colorado State,
1:09:58
it's been really really good spun to watch. And Saint Mary's. Don't sleep
1:10:00
on the gals. Uh, they're better than getting DAGA this year. When
1:10:03
was the last time you can say that? In many many moves, Saint
1:10:06
Mary's is going to be a tough hope. What else is going on?
1:10:09
What you got you out on this weekend? I mean, it's college basketball.
1:10:13
We have some great NBA matchups, hockey matchups and all that MLS started
1:10:18
last week. If people don't know that, they have some great matches on
1:10:21
Saturday as well. Uh so it should be a fun, fun, fun
1:10:25
weekend of college. I can't believe March is a blink of and I and
1:10:28

Sports. In this JJ McCarthy hype, Why am I here for JJ McCarthy
1:12:01
hight? Why do I like this? What is it about? Is it
1:12:04
because I picked Michigan to win the national title? Yes? This, this
1:12:11
crap that you kept spewing through the season for some reason though, has carried
1:12:16
over. It's done. The pick is done. They want it. You
1:12:23
know, you had your you had your moment of gloating and whatnot, and
1:12:27
that's fine, but there's no need to stick with their quarterback. Now this
1:12:31
is a solo mission. He's no longer Michigan affiliated. No, no,
1:12:38
he's not. Let's see here, I know that. Uh, let me
1:12:40
get real quick over here. Tiger Baiting Texas six or one eight, five,
1:12:45
three, seven, seven six. When does Raymond High School play?
1:12:46
Let me go back over here to the composite schedule and you can go to
1:12:53
I'll put this out on Twitter, M A, M I S S HSA
1:12:55
dot com. The four A Championship for the boy is going to be Saturday
1:13:06
at noon. Saturday at noon, it's going to be Raymond versus mccolemb That
1:13:12
should be a really good basketball game. God, Raymond has looked so good.
1:13:16
Raymond of course has won this thing the last couple of years. They
1:13:18
are very good. And I'll talk to Tyler Cleveland down there tomorrow. You
1:13:23
know, the last couple of years, most of your basketball heads talking heads
1:13:28
have said, hey, look, regardless of classification, this Raymond program is
1:13:30
the best in the state in the guy side, all in the guy side.
1:13:33
So Tiger bit, that's going to be Saturday at noon. That'll be
1:13:39
Raymond versus mccolem all right, let's see here, Pug. Well, let's
1:13:44
go to Beth Mowent's offspring. Yes, they do dominate the airwaves, no
1:13:50
doubt about it. Pug. Bama minus five at Ole Miss question mark seems
1:13:55
like a spot where Bama covers pretty easily, do they? I mean,
1:14:00
maybe do that? And me we're talking about basketball here. I mean State
1:14:05
was a four point favorite last night, ended up losing on a you know,
1:14:09
walk off shot. I think it's gonna be a competitive game. I
1:14:12
mean, Ole missus back is against the wall just a little bit in this
1:14:14
you know, NCAA tournament bidding of you know, getting in this thing on
1:14:20
the bubble, so to speak. I've got some updated bracketology we'll get into.
1:14:24
But I wouldn't be surprised if whole Miss won the game at home.
1:14:26
But I also wouldn't be surprised if Bama covers the five. Jason and flag
1:14:30
Staff. I can see four and eight for State, but I can also
1:14:32
see six and seven in football. I know it's a transition year, but
1:14:38
I don't see wholesale impotence up front and at quarterback like last year, particularly
1:14:43
when Will Rogers was out. I tend agree with you Jason State can't help
1:14:47
but be better next year or this year. New staff look follow the follow
1:14:54
the pedigree. Always follow the pedigree. Jeff Levy knows how to coach football,
1:14:59
particularly i'll defensive football. Again. I'm old enough to remember when he
1:15:03
was at Ole Miss with Lane Kiffin and there was rumors of Lane Kiffin being
1:15:06
pulled out of there that a lot of Ole Miss fens said, hey,
1:15:09
we'll just hire Jeff Levy. So, I mean, four and eight maybe
1:15:13
if everything goes wrong, but I tend to lean more six and six don't
1:15:16
have a chance to get to a ball game. Let us see here,
1:15:19
CBR, Jake will manifest JJ to the top of the top ten of the
1:15:25
draft. That's exactly what we're working to do. CBR says, I'm going
1:15:30
to manifest JJ McCarthy into the top ten. Let's go to DJ DJ welcome
1:15:32
in. Oh I'm late, I think well for the Mixican National Championship.
1:15:40
I don't know how many people were, you know, listening to you the
1:15:43
way they are now, but now where Jake Weremley said it it's gold and
1:15:46
they're gotten around nationwide. It's not just the Mississippi thing. Okay, because
1:15:50
I mean you pulled that rabbit out of the halt. Hey, every every
1:15:55
well, I say, every dog finds a bone every now and then.
1:15:58
Well, you've had some good picks for let me tell you what did last
1:16:00
night. And you know I'm not a big basketball fan, Well, let
1:16:02
me tell you, Jake. Any time somebody gives me four and a half
1:16:06
points against whole mess, Mississippi State put me down. Okay, and I
1:16:12
know almost lost it. Now. Last night is the first basketball game I
1:16:16
watched this year other than nine minutes of the Alabama game. And when I
1:16:21
come away with Mississippi State's pretty good, don't you think? Absolutely? Yeah?
1:16:25
I know they're a very good basketball team. Now what does that mean?
1:16:28
Nashally, we don't know. Brackets come out, that the matchups matter.
1:16:31
But Josh Hubbard is an unbelievable talent. He's likely going to get Freshman
1:16:36
of the Year in the SEC. He's breaking all kinds of records there.
1:16:40
Yes, this is a very good basketball team. He's not real. Now,
1:16:44
I did win my fifty bucks. I put fifty bucks. Now,
1:16:46
I really was hoping that State could win by one and I still would be
1:16:51
okay. But at the end, when Hubbard hit forty three's in a row.
1:16:56
I'm thinking, and did you see two of them? I mean two
1:16:59
of them was just Michael Jordan's type stuff. I'm not saying he's Michaels,
1:17:02
but I don't watch a lot of basketball, but I was really impressed with
1:17:05
a state basketball team last night because you know, I saw Kentucky play.
1:17:12
I saw nine minutes for the Bama game, and I'm like, well,
1:17:15
Kentucky's starting to put it together. But anyway, love your show, and
1:17:18
hey, what do you think about Tennessee and Auburn tonight? Appreciate it?
1:17:21
Thanks so much. Yep, let's get hey, Jay, Yes, what
1:17:25
do you think about Tennessee and Alburn tonight? Help me out on now?
1:17:27
Gotcha? All right, let me go over here to the bet builder and
1:17:29
we'll talk about that right now. We've got a couple of minutes here in
1:17:30
c DOAA basketball and let's go to the games over here, Auburn and Tennessee.
1:17:39
Man, that's going to be a great game. That'll be a great
1:17:41
game. That is a six o'clock tip on. I believe a ESPN Tennessee
1:17:46
is a seven and a half point favorite. Man, this is you know,
1:17:50
seven and a half man, that is a large line in this basketball
1:17:55
game. Give me Tennessee to win, but give me Auburn to cover.
1:17:59
Auburn cover the seven and a half in basketball tonight. Told you I was
1:18:01
gonna get you a winner today. Lock it up. Auburn covers seven and
1:18:05
a half. Tennessee wins the ball game. Totals at one to fifty two.
1:18:10
Go the under, go the under on one fifty two. David Raymond
1:18:15
lost to Yazoo City last year. Yazoo City, and thank you David for
1:18:18
that correction. Thank you for that correction. Yeah, I do remember that
1:18:24
now that you say that. But Raymond back in the championship game in four
1:18:27
A boys basketball. They'll play McComb on Saturday, all right. Kaylen de
1:18:32
boar Nix is Nick Saban's restricted media access rule at Alabama. Alabama coach kaylender
1:18:40
Boor is making the Crimson Tides football program more media friendly ahead of his first
1:18:44
season with the Tide. He's designated certain portions of practice time in the spring
1:18:49
viewable by members of the press, while also making his staff and assistant coaches
1:18:54
available for interviews. This is this is not gonna end well, this man,
1:18:59
this is his first mistake that marks a significant change from Alabama's extremely limited
1:19:03
media viewing policy at practice that was around throughout Nick Saban's tenure. He ran
1:19:10
a tight ship with his staff too, for the most part, keeping them
1:19:15
off limits from interviews. So let me ask you this, why did Nick
1:19:18
Saban in his tenure which is seventeen years, limit media access and told his
1:19:25
coaches and the media you cannot talk to each other. Why did he do
1:19:29
that? Because media is dumb. Medias can be dumb. As we talked
1:19:35
about asked dumb questions. It can be a distraction. I suppose coaches could
1:19:42
say something that gets is it misconstrued like the Doug Williams quote. So if
1:19:46
you have all access media access at Vanderbilt and let's just say wake Forest,
1:19:53
nobody cares statean ll miss limit media access and with all due respect, they're
1:20:00
no Alabama. But this man, this the boor man, this is going
1:20:04
to come in and open it wide open to the media. Assistant coaches himself.
1:20:15
This is his first big mistake. You realize this, If Nick Saban
1:20:21
is the gauge, why would you heal turn and do totally the opposite of
1:20:28
the best coach in college football? History forever in a day, from pre
1:20:33
nineteen hundred until today, he is the best ever. He never had coaching
1:20:39
access to the media and limited himself to coaching or to media access. But
1:20:44
the bor is going to come in here from Washington State and be like,
1:20:46
Yep, it's first role we're getting rid of. So gonna do next?
1:20:50
Change the mascot. It's a new era. I mean a lot of people,
1:21:00
players, staff and media included got sick of Saban's rules. He was
1:21:06
viewed as a tyrant. He lost to co he lost coordinators seemingly every other
1:21:13
year because of some of his rules. It's a whole new era, Jake.
1:21:16
You don't have to be Nick Saban. It's your program. Why does
1:21:21
this starting to feel like in my head that Mike Debos era at Alabama?
1:21:26
Is he taking this program back to nineteen ninety eight? Oh? Look,
1:21:29
Debor is going to be a better coach than JJ McCarthy is a quarterback.
1:21:32

home tonight against the Auburn Tigers. Let's see here, Michael Bratton in three
1:22:45
point thirty. We'll get this up later this week. Adam Johnson and Rafaelosparsitz,
1:22:48
You and I and B the rest of Y Leon on the Cawboy Malonies
1:22:51
text Ligne Jake, is there an all day ticket for the high school championships
1:22:55
or do you have to pay separately for each game? That's a great question,
1:22:57
Leon, I asked Adam Johnson through text just to make sure I thought
1:23:00
I was right. One price all day, so you get one ticket,
1:23:04
you go all day. So if you go in the morning, and you
1:23:08
start in the early, you pay, you get in. You can stay
1:23:10
all day long. You're not gonna get a better ticket than that. So
1:23:13
you get a lot of basketball with one ticket. So you do not have
1:23:16
to pay separately for the games, so you're not breaking it up each game.
1:23:19
I mean, if you just want to go to one game, that's
1:23:21
fine, but stick around and check out some of the other Actually, this
1:23:25
great, great basketball down at the coliseum. Tiger bait talk about Alabama and
1:23:30
Kelen Deboor. He should change the mascot. Never understood what the elephant meant?
1:23:35
Do you know the background behind the elephant me either? Anybody? Texas
1:23:41
Jason and Flagstaff. Dude's going to find out really quick. The media in
1:23:45
tuscal Loosa is not nearly the hippie media in Seattle. Who largely couldn't care
1:23:50
less about sports ball. I like the way you did that, There's no
1:23:56
doubt about it. I mean we were talking about the al dot com crew,
1:24:01
the tighter insider crew. I mean just all of the media. There's
1:24:05
a lot of it in Alabama, lot lotslots, you know, I mean
1:24:10
Alabama. I was talking when we did the MHSA championship games in Oxford to
1:24:15
the sid at Old Miss. We were just sitting around talking shopping. He
1:24:18
was talking about how hectic it is and in Southeastern Conference press boxes when say
1:24:25
Alabama comes in because they have like twenty different reporters. I mean it's you
1:24:30
know, Missisippi State, Old Miss. They're going to send you know,
1:24:31
five six seven at best. You know you're gonna get your local news.
1:24:38
A lot of those guys and girls are on the field because they have to
1:24:41
do camera work and highlights and all that. But then you'll get some guy
1:24:44
you know, the two four sevens, the on threes, the spirits,
1:24:46
the Genes pages all. You know that those people will be there. But
1:24:50
Alabama brings a large group of media and it's very hard to accommodate, or
1:24:56
it's it's taxing. Beth Moent's offspring. If the BRONC draft, JJ,
1:25:00
can I police punch Jake in the face for charity. Y'all are sleeping on
1:25:05
this guy man, one hundred percent sleeping on JJ McCarthy. Twenty twenty four
1:25:13
NFL Draft JJ McCarthy, polarizing opinions, merged behind an NFL combine where he
1:25:17
could land. So h McCarthy is one of the ten players who could most
1:25:23
improve his stock this week. Opinions surrounding the two time All Big Ten pass
1:25:28
are quite polarizing. McCarthy finished his college career as a national champion and with
1:25:31
a sparking twenty seven to one record as a starter. So let me ask
1:25:36
you this about JJ McCarthy. I'm'll stop right there first, AJ mccern All
1:25:44
of the at Alabama quarterbacks prior to what you Gotta go back Jalen Hurts that
1:25:53
have these gaudy records, and we always questioned those quarterbacks. Do we not
1:26:00
saying they were system quarterbacks? They had records like this twenty seven and one,
1:26:03
twenty five and two. Why are we not questioning JAJ McCarthy like that
1:26:09
as a system quarterback? He had a great defense. He was playing by
1:26:13
great running game, didn't have to do a whole lot. So is it
1:26:17
fair to say he's I mean, he is twenty seven to one in is
1:26:20
a quarterback, But is it the same twenty seven and one as Bryce Young?
1:26:29
CJ. Shroud. A lot of people would say, No. Completed
1:26:34
sixty eight percent of his passes for six two hundred and twenty six yards forty
1:26:39
nine touchdowns to eleven interceptions at Michigan. That is a really good touchdown interception
1:26:44
ratio. By the way, high completion percentage showcased athleticism, six hundred and
1:26:48
thirty two yards, ten touchdowns, one hundred and sixty one attempts. Former
1:26:50
NFL offensive lineman and two four to seven Sports college football analyst Blake Brockermeyer slots
1:26:59
McCarthy is a second round selection, but others have him a Day one pick
1:27:02
and maybe even a top ten pick. Ryan Wilson's CBS Sports said Mike Renner
1:27:15
was on his podcast. He talked about what makes JJ McCarthy a possible top
1:27:17
ten pick. Says, pay attention to the beaming. That does not make
1:27:28
sense to me. This is on a podcast and they didn't put the whole
1:27:30
quote in there. Someone will skip that Jackson McIntire says, I understand a
1:27:33
lot of the JJ McCarthy concerns, but arm talent should not be one of
1:27:36
them. His game against TCU in the twenty twenty two College Football Playoff was
1:27:41
a great window of his arm strength. It's not elite, but the ball
1:27:45
comes out of his hands very very hot. Let's see Ted NuGen just noting
1:27:55
on JJ McCarthy's release, not saying he's worth a top ten pick. Very
1:27:58
little wasted movement. Hips fire first, extremely quick and consistent. Looks like
1:28:03
hands separate a little quick, but front shoulder stays focused. How about that
1:28:09
beaver for a bringing endorsements? Hips fire first, He's got fire hips.
1:28:16
Hold fire hips over there? You know who else else's hips fired first?
1:28:23
As a college quarterback, Jimmy Clausin, Oh no, was he a hip
1:28:28
guy? Yeah, we saw how that panned out because it was Kuyper that
1:28:34
was high on. Said he would retire if he didn't become an elite quarterback.
1:28:39
Did he? Yep, sir did? Why did he not honor that?
1:28:48
Glic had this to say? Here? Boy Glick? Was it Gojo
1:28:51
and Golck? Now how many shows has he had seeing JJ McCarthy throw consistently
1:28:57
next to Michael PENNOCKX Junior and Bo Nix, guys who are a lot more
1:29:00
pass heavy off past heavy offenses. Just seeing these guys throw right next to
1:29:04
each other is going to be important. He's not wrong on that he's talking
1:29:09
about, you know, when they're just all thrown at the combine, getting
1:29:12
in reps, that will be important. Let's see one person analyst says,
1:29:19
I think we can pencil in JJ is a fourth round or a fourth round
1:29:24
one quarterback, top fifteen to twenty draft capital seems pretty safe. So there's
1:29:30
a lot of varying opinions on JJ McCarthy what he can or cannot do,
1:29:34
and that will continue. You know, there's gonna be several there's several story
1:29:39
lines at the combine. One Caleb Williams the interviews, not throwing is that
1:29:45
the thing or not? Obviously Penis and you look at the LSU quarterback as
1:29:51
well, Jayden Daniels, and then JJ McCarthy, and then you know,
1:29:55
can a guy like Spencer Ratler continue to climb the mountain so to speak,
1:30:00
because he took you know, kind of a jump off at the Senior Bowl.
1:30:02
So there's a lot of a lot of big storylines. Will you watch
1:30:04
will you watch the quarterbacks? Is that all you watch? Or will you
1:30:08
watch other skill position players or lineman forties any of that? Well, what
1:30:13
I what I don't like the way they schedule the combine is go to the
1:30:18
guide and there's like a four hour chunk there and they say quarterbacks, defensive
1:30:30
linement, whatever groups. But we switched so far back, like they seem
1:30:36
to switch back and forth. So I feel like you have to sit there
1:30:43
and watch that entire, you know, a good two hour block of it
1:30:46
to see what you want to see. And I don't want to hang around
1:30:48
on the combine for two hours. They're doing that they want to see.
1:30:53
They got you on the hook. You're waiting for a position unit or a
1:30:56
certain player, and they just tvts you for two hours. Stay right here,
1:31:02
it's covin, Stay right here, next commercial, up, next,
1:31:04
one, right, and before you know what, you're there for two hours.
1:31:08
Bill. When I'm watching the combine, all I'm looking for, no
1:31:11
matter what position it is, is hip fire. Got to have hip fire.
1:31:16
That's gonna be the new thing. I guess, how are your hips?
1:31:21
Do they fire? There's a lot of directions you can go with that,
1:31:26
Jason and flagstaff? Isn't the elephant time out at Alabama? In reference
1:31:30
to what coach coach called their lineman at some point in history, red elephants?
1:31:34
Almost certain I read that somewhere. I think you're right, because I
1:31:39
used to think it was a Civil War thing. Did you see the elephant?
1:31:43
Elephant equals combat in that era? You could be right on the offensive
1:31:46
front, But I am not one hundred percent sure. Zach Wilson is demanding
1:31:51
a trade from the New York Football Jets. Where will he land? There
1:31:56
are some spots And speaking of the Jets, Aaron Rodgers looks pretty jacked up?
1:32:00
Is he is uh preparing for a comeback? Rogers is apparently looking lean
1:32:06
and mean. He is manifesting himself into playing playing shape. Are we ready
1:32:11
for an Aaron Rodgers comeback? Is he gonna do more than run out of
1:32:15
the tunnel with the flag? We're brought to you by Rainco Transmission fourteen sixty

1:33:39
Let me go back over here before I get to these texts real quick.
1:33:47
Well, let me just go right here. Bill, what we got
1:33:56
bills in? Magic? Mike correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Chubs
1:34:00
and Happy Gilmore tell Happy it's all in the hips. Did he do that
1:34:08
is magic? It's all in the hips. It's all in the hips.
1:34:13
So yeah, the question is in lieu of JJ McCarthy, what's your hip
1:34:17
fire? What is your hip fire? How do we rate hip fire?
1:34:21
Is it like a one to ten rating or is it one to one hundred?
1:34:25
Or do you do it like a graded a B CD E F.
1:34:30
How are we quantifying hip fire? You know it when you see it?
1:34:38
Is that little you know that little drill? Dak Prescott does that he got
1:34:41
made fun of. Yeah, that is that a hip fire drill? Sure,
1:34:45
I'll go with that. And some of the stuff Jameis Winston does.
1:34:48
Is that what these guys are doing? Hip fires? Trying to fire the
1:34:53
hips up. I don't know what Jameis Winston does on anything. Let's see
1:34:59
here, Jason and Flagstaff. I'm beyond ready for an Aaron Rodgers comeback.
1:35:04
If anyone deserves the absolute punishment offered by being the starting quarterback of the New
1:35:11
York Football Jets, it's that guy. I hope he's loaded up with magic
1:35:15
crystals. I'm looking for him to have a comeback. Space Ghost Jake fire
1:35:24
hips Wimberley, it's from Space Coast. No, don't accept that. Well,
1:35:31
he did Speil Wimberley wrong, well wrong for me? Huh, sure
1:35:35
did well? Some have the L E y and some the L Y and
1:35:41
I still haven't figured that out. It's weird. It's a weird deal.
1:35:45
I even went through the whole ancestry things several years ago. Couldn't figure it
1:35:48
out. I mean, from the time we were in Kazakhstan and moved into
1:35:55
Canada, won the Battle of Lost Mule hip Fire, and came into the
1:35:59
United States. I still can't figure it out. Still L E Y and
1:36:00
O. Why what did you just say to me? It's family history?
1:36:09
So did you ever do the ancestry stuff? I haven't. Maybe you should
1:36:13
go back and do the tree for the Martins twenty three and me all that
1:36:18
business. Okay, I actually have been curious about that before. Now.
1:36:23
I never did the DNA stuff. I just did the ancestry where you can
1:36:26
go in and gosh, that's been so long ago. I think you could
1:36:29
put in, you know, names and then birthdays, and I mean it'll
1:36:32
populate a lot of that stuff for you that was years ago. You never
1:36:36
know. So like, do you know where you, like three hundred years
1:36:40
ago, where your family was from. Nope? You know it could be
1:36:44
Istanbul for all you know. Yeah, the guy over let's see Monday Mornings,
1:36:51
the estate plan and lawyer that I do on J ANDT. He has
1:36:57
told me before because he was talking on one of his shows about that twenty
1:37:01
three and me and ancestry stuff and all that, and I told him.
1:37:05
I was like, I've actually been curious about that stuff, and this was
1:37:09
all fair, so you know, all fair, you get real real,
1:37:13
yeah, real convo, and all I did because he was talking about some
1:37:17
stuff on the show and when we went to break, I told him I've
1:37:20
been I've been intrigued by checking that stuff out. He got real serious,
1:37:26
he goes, I've seen some real problems come up from that stuff in court,
1:37:32
like as if he was saying, don't do it, don't open the
1:37:39
box. But that kind of makes me even more curious now that I think
1:37:42
back to it. You never know. You could be living. You could
1:37:45
be from royalty and not even know it. There could be money that you
1:37:49
were owed, like you could be heir to a throne. Seriously, like
1:37:55
you could be air to a throne in Istanbul and not even know it.
1:37:58
Or Turkey, some small village that's just waiting on you to return home.
1:38:06
So I need to figure it out so I can take my rightful spot on
1:38:10
the throne. Yes, absolutely, I think you should Jake from Yazoo Jake
1:38:15
to Jake and Beeve. I don't recall who said they had Aaron Rodgers fatigue,
1:38:20
but I do as well. Would like to note the guy was tired
1:38:24
of himself and paid, paid for and paid for darkness? Can you just
1:38:29
go away? One super Bowl and Danica Patrick is still the coolest thing he
1:38:32
has done? Yeah, I think he's gonna try to hang around for least
1:38:35
another year. Magic Mike loose loosey like that. Mike says loose hips sinks
1:38:46
ships. That is absolutely true. It ain't just loose lips, it's loose
1:38:50
hips. Watch your hip fire out there. Rhino sounds like Farmer Fran and
1:38:58
Saint Louis. VIC. The Five Boys Girls should be interesting. Would I
1:39:00
be able to listen via the stream? Yes, yes you can, Vic.
1:39:04
We'll have all of that on the network here on the Zone one of
1:39:09
five nine and of course the Zone one of five nine dot com. What
1:39:14
is that? Why are you look at me like that? It always bothers
1:39:16
me when you refer to this station as a network. We are simply a
1:39:20
station, but we are on a network of channels Alpha Media. It's one
1:39:28
big network. Don't no look, salesman, don't don't try to spend this
1:39:35
and sell this to me or the people. Was there like two intern eight
1:39:40
stations for Alpha Media to networking stations? All right, technically, but I
1:39:45
get what you're saying, Bill. I researched my interestry one time. I
1:39:49
found out my great great great uncle Bill that is not there, you serious,
1:39:59
was a serial killer. It was all legal, though, Bill,
1:40:02
is that real? Really? See? You could come up on some linegs
1:40:10
like that. This is crazy. I'm also still thinking about this network thing,
1:40:13
so which reminds me to tell you also when you're there tomorrow, tell
1:40:18
the people I've got I already know where you're specifically, Adam Johnson, the
1:40:25
who has taken the mantle as King of empty Promises. He took it from
1:40:29
Chris Brooks. Don't simply refer to this as we're here on ESPN Radio.
1:40:34
We ain't ESPN Radio. What's that say above you up there? Oh that
1:40:40
old logo that we specifically try not to associate with ESPN Radio anymore. Hey,
1:40:46
I'm right here with you. But just but the people when people just
1:40:51
simply call this ESPN radio, Now that's national, that's that. That's the
1:40:59
nonsense. It's not that this isn't this is local nonsense. But ESPN radio
1:41:04
is just what you refer to that national what whoever's on there these days?
1:41:10
Well that is true. Do you know what I thought your shirt just said
1:41:13
see here something staring at it. I thought it said I fell in love
1:41:15
on a subway. M hope it's on a Sunday. What is that?
1:41:19
What does that a reference to? H it's Weezer lyrics. Oh okay,

1:43:14
Here, We've got thirty minutes. We got to run, all right,
1:43:15
So let me see if I've got a picture of this Aaron Rodgers. Now
1:43:18
they don't show any photos of him. Let's just say he's jacked and how
1:43:23
jack is Aaron Rodgers? Really? And my watch just gave me twelve results
1:43:27
for Aaron Rodgers. Dolphins to meet with to a Tanga belowas agent during the
1:43:32
NFL Combine to discuss long term extension to a Slater become the next quarterback to
1:43:36
receive a big payday to may be joining the list of top shelf quarterbacks who
1:43:42
have recently received a massive contract extension. The Dolphins general manager Chris Greer said
1:43:45
Wednesday the team plans to speak with the Tack of Looa's agent about an extension
1:43:49
this week from the NFL Combine. Greer is quote hopeful to get a deal
1:43:54
done this offseason, but added these types of big extensions rarely come together quickly.
1:44:00
The soon to be twenty six year old tagle lois coming off his best
1:44:02
season to date. He was named to his first Pro Bowl in twenty twenty
1:44:05
three after throwing for a league high forty six hundred and twenty four yards.
1:44:10
Tua also through a career high twenty nine touchdowns and led the Dolphins to an
1:44:13
eleven and six record numbers aside, Twenty twenty three was a big year for
1:44:16
Tua from a health standpoint. He didn't miss a single game after multiple head
1:44:20
injuries sidelined him for four games in twenty twenty two. Tackle Lo Loa added
1:44:26
muscle last off season to help him endure the rigors of playing football in a
1:44:30
peers. So I like the hard work paid off, So beav When you
1:44:33
look at these numbers, said, would it be possible? What would be?
1:44:40
What would a possible extension for twa looked like he could very well be
1:44:44
on his way to joining Patrick Mahomes as the only player with a contract that
1:44:47
exceeds three hundred million. Tager Lowa's current projected market value is six years,
1:44:53
three hundred and two million dollars. It's about fifty million annually. Is he
1:44:59
that good? Would you pay that for him? I mean I like to
1:45:01
it, don't get me wrong, but oh I like him too personally.
1:45:05
But no, But that's that's the way it goes these days. All these
1:45:12
quarterbacks who doesn't matter if they deserve it or not. It's well, whoever
1:45:16
gets the next extension is gonna get the most money we've ever seen pretty much,
1:45:25
speaking of money, of course, with the combine going on. Updated
1:45:27
NFL mock draft. Cayler Williams still to the Bears. Drake made of the
1:45:31
Commanders. Jalen Daniels to the Falcons. Let me see if I can get
1:45:39
this Chevy there we go add off there, Marvin Harrison Junior to the Arizona
1:45:45
Cardinals. Try to give Kyler Murray a big play threat. Malik Neighbors to
1:45:47
the Chargers or don't say wide receiver from Washington to the Giants. JJ McCarthy
1:45:58
picked number eight. We have watched this man go from the top twenty now
1:46:02
to eight to the Patriots, to gonna get in the top five. Yeah,
1:46:13
would not be surprised the way this is going. Told you the Anthony
1:46:17
Richardson scenario from last year. So number eight to the Patriots. Yeah,
1:46:26
who was it? Someone just said yesterday on this here show yesterday or Monday
1:46:34
that maybe it goes to the Patriots. He's the same as Mac Jones.
1:46:41
Somebody, Well, maybe it was Gator Matt somebody said that are you buying
1:46:45
that? Yep, I'm gonna come back to this Zach Wilson story. I'm
1:46:51
gonna go over to college real quick. Kirby Smart coaching Tree with Dick Saban
1:46:56
out. Now we start talking about the Kirby Smart coaching tree. How ex
1:46:59
Georgia assistants have fared after leaving his leaving for head coaching opportunities. So you
1:47:03
got summer guys that have done this. Now, the first one Mel Tucker.
1:47:10
Tucker served as a defensive coordinator on Smart's inaugural staff and stayed with the
1:47:14
Bulldogs of Georgia through twenty eighteen before becoming the first assistant of Smarts to move
1:47:18
on to the ranks. Though he's known for his time at Michigan State,
1:47:23
Tucker was hired at Colorado in twenty nineteen. Spent one season there with the
1:47:27
Buffalo's and guided them to a five and seven season with three wins in the
1:47:31
Pac twelve, their most since twenty sixteen, before jumping ship after one season.
1:47:35
The Spartans reached their peak under Tucker in twenty twenty one. Capit a
1:47:40
tendancy regular season. But you know all the stuff that happened at Michigan State,
1:47:45
I mean on the field, Tucker could coach. Off the field,
1:47:46
it just has not worked out. Sam Pittman, Arkansas. Pittman had of
1:47:51
quite a reputation as an offensive line coach when he joined Smart staff in twenty
1:47:56
sixteen, but his time with the Bulldogs propelled him to his current position at
1:48:02
Arkansas. So we know that he is on the hot seat this year.
1:48:06
So right now you would say two guys off the Kirby Smart coaching tree are
1:48:12
one to tucker off the field stuff and everything that went all with Michigan State
1:48:15
flamed. Pittman is flaming. Shane Beamer South Carolina, son of legendary head
1:48:20
coach Frank Beemer. Shane Beamer coached tight ends and special teams from Georgia from
1:48:25
twenty sixteen to seventeen. Left the Bulldogs at twenty eighteen to take an assistant
1:48:29
coaching job at Oklahoma and remained there until twenty twenty one, when he was
1:48:32
hired at then forty three years of age to become the head coach at South
1:48:36
Carolina. I don't want to say he's on the hot seat, but is
1:48:43
he on the hot seat Shane Beemer South Carolina? I don't. I don't
1:48:53
think this year, but after this year, if it's if you're four and
1:48:59
eight this year five and seven, then yes, But I think that a
1:49:03
couple of years ago that Duke's Mayo Ball, and I think that bought bought,
1:49:09
that bought some time, the Mayo Ball because it was the They surrounded
1:49:15
it with the big story, with the mayonnaise drop and all that, and
1:49:17
I think that got a lot of good will in South Carolina for him.
1:49:20
No, there's no doubt Dan Lanning organ one d success. Dan Lanning is
1:49:28
the closest thing to Kirby Smart and football. Right now, you realize that
1:49:33
did you know or even pay attention to Dan Lanning before? He just destroyed
1:49:38
coloradoverbly before they played, But that was a Kirby Smart speech. You realize
1:49:43
that that was a Kirby Smart speech. And Dan Lanning has turned Orgon into
1:49:51
a machine. Now they were already really good, but he has taken them
1:49:56
even further. Do you know quietly? They have as good a roster as
1:50:00
Georgia, Texas and Ohio State Right now? They have my best quarterback on
1:50:06
my list in Dylan Gabriel. They have guys that can fly, and you
1:50:11
know they're gonna go into the Big ten and they're gonna wear people out wear
1:50:15
them out. I like Goregon to win the Big Ten and I haven't picked
1:50:20
a national champion, but I can tell you Organ's right there. They're one
1:50:24
of my last few teams. As I go through this, they are scary
1:50:29
good. You realize they've lost six points by six points, two ball games
1:50:30
six points. Last year, Pennis Pennis beat Oregon twice. I mean,
1:50:36
he really did. And that's one of the things that they were susceptible to
1:50:41
is But are how many pinixes were in football last year? Wasn't many,
1:50:45
so they got diced up by Penick twice. But Dan Lanning in Oregon,
1:50:51
they might would win the SEC this year. They're that good. As a
1:50:56
matter of fact, if they were playing Georgia head up, I think it'd
1:50:58
be almost an even game in Vegas today. Fran Brown Syracuse. He's another
1:51:01
guy that will see I mean New Jersey native, former Temple, Rutgers assistant
1:51:08
deep ties to the Northeast. That's when he's back at Syracuse. He was
1:51:12
on Smart staff twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three defensive backs, defensive backs
1:51:16
coach at Georgia, now the head coach at Syracuse. We'll see what he
1:51:19
does with the kylem accord Georgia State Delle McGee. He just took that job
1:51:25
and that is the Kirby Smart Coaching tree. So you got some failures,
1:51:28
you've got some success, like all coaching trees out there, but Dan Lanning
1:51:32
is definitely the top guy. We are brought to you by Wyn McGee.

1:53:01
Appreciate Michael Bratton and jumping in also Adam Johnson and Roefieldsparza. Tomorrow, no
1:53:06
show, but we're gonna have a lot of basketball basketball two games tomorrow,
1:53:12
gosh, several games on Friday, several games on Saturday. So we got
1:53:15
you covered up six tomorrow, our Friday, six Friday, six Saturdays that
1:53:20
we're doing. Yep. Jim Mattress Mack Mackinville. It's placed a million dollar
1:53:30
bet on Houston to win the NCAA tournament. Cougar's national championship would pay him
1:53:38
seven point five million dollars. He got him at seven a half to one,
1:53:43
but he put a million dollars on What do you think history is not
1:53:47
good? Stay away from Houston, Stay away from Houston. Yeah, mattress
1:53:53
Mack has not done a great job in the gambling space. I got more
1:54:00
mcarthy stuff. I almost away from that though. I'm tired of talking JJ
1:54:02
McCarthy. Do you see? Tom Brady reportedly believes that Giselle was cheating on
1:54:11
him years ago. What made him think this now? Why is he coming
1:54:15
out of? Is this jaded love? Just I got to get it off
1:54:18
my chest or what? Yeah? I don't know, I don't know.
1:54:21
I saw that. Yeah, I saw that earlier, but I didn't see
1:54:25
why he's coming out and saying it now, And it seemed. I do
1:54:30
remember when it first came out that she was dating this jiu jitsu guy and
1:54:35
it was extremely close to their you know, divorce date. And I remember
1:54:44
the very second I read that thinking she was cheating on him before with this
1:54:47
guy. That's too close that timeline is that's Matt, that's close. Chip
1:54:55
Patterson with the CBS Sports dot Com has given his college football playoff bracket.
1:55:03
He gives uh Liberty the twelfth seed winning the Conference USA, and a lot
1:55:10
of people are gonna pick Liberty. Conference. Look, Liberty should be the
1:55:14
best group of five teams. I know Memphis is gonna try to stake a
1:55:17
claim to that, and they could. I know South Florida will boise to
1:55:20
some degree, but it's probably gonna be Liberty. He has them playing number
1:55:25
five Oregon on the road when he advances to play number four Utah. That
1:55:28
means he'd have Utah winning the Big Twelve. He has Ole miss as a
1:55:31
sixth seed, or see me eleven seed playing at Texas as a sixth seed
1:55:39
when er would played Clemsons as a three seat. So he has Clemson win
1:55:42
the ACCED. This is already South. Clemson is not winning the a SEC
1:55:45
this year. Notre Dame is a ten seed at Michigan number seven. Michigan
1:55:48
is not gonna make the playfuf. By the way, winner will play number
1:55:53
two Ohio State, number nine, Penn State at number eight Alabama. Bama's
1:55:57
not gonna make the playoff either. Taken on Joe Georia. So his breakdown.
1:56:01
Georgia SEC champion at one, Ohio State Big ten Champion, two,
1:56:04
Clemson ACC champion, three, Utah Big twelve champion, organ at large,
1:56:11
Texas at large down the road. We go. My watch just gave me
1:56:17
an SEC championship score Alabama twenty seven, Georgia twenty four, for whatever it's
1:56:21
worth. And so that's his play. I will I will tell you this.
1:56:28
Michigan is as much as I was on Michigan last year. I'm telling
1:56:30
you Michigan will not make the playoff this year. Their schedule is too tough,
1:56:33
it's way too much going on, much like Alabama, just not gonna
1:56:39
make it. Possum Neck Joe leap Year, Yes, yes, Joe,
1:56:45
it is leap Here. Do you have any data or cool facts with leap
1:56:51
Here? Anything interesting happened in your life over leap years? How many have
1:56:58
you had? Like two in your life? I don't remember when the last
1:57:02
one was. Do you four years ago or was it four years ago?
1:57:08
Did anything interesting happen then? Nope? I always like to leave you with
1:57:14
good stories. New mystery fungui species deemed potentially harmful to humans has been identified.
1:57:20
Several newly discovered species of fungi that are potentially harmful to humans could become
1:57:26
airborne during periods of droughts. As if we didn't have enough to worry about
1:57:30
with the bubonic plague making a return, the zombie virus and all this other
1:57:36
stuff. According to new research recently published in the Journal of Fungi, the
1:57:41
Mycology and Environmental Microbiology unit of the Universal stat REVERA, I mean this thing
1:57:50
is, this is a lot of words, has identified new species of fung
1:57:53
guy that may cause infections and diseases and people and animals. As they've been
1:58:00
studies very little so far that what we were doing quote in the project that
1:58:03
is not extending the knowledge based about the special species found in these sediments,
1:58:09
but also determining patterns of biodiversity that indicate whether the ecosystem is healthy or to
1:58:17
the contrary, the problems a pollution from a variety of sources. But with
1:58:23
droughts come the spread of funguy. So beaver don't stand places of drought dexter
1:58:30
Clemson, no way. Those days are gone. When you don't make changes,
1:58:33
you get left behind. Yeah, and Clemson's absolutely getting left behind again.
1:58:36
They don't do the transfer portal, they don't even believe in it.
1:58:41
And that's fine, just where bad Dabbol wants to be. But since he
1:58:44
lost Tony Elliott to Virginia who was his offensive coordinator, and he lost Brent
1:58:48
Vnables to Oklahoma, I mean, Clemson has been a nice team, nicer
1:58:54
than Maryland. Clemson's not scaring anybody, and they'll have every shot to get
1:58:58
this thing right. Taken on Georgia Week one Turo more people get pregnant on
1:59:03
February twenty ninth in Valentine's Day, Stay safe, Kings. Is this a
1:59:11
real stat since it is fire hips Wednesday? And if you want to where
1:59:18
fire hips come from? Hey, that was just a breakdown of Jaji McCarthy's
1:59:20
game One football scout said he has fire hips. So we're gonna go with
1:59:28
fire hips and breaking down quarterbacks from now on. No doubt fire hips is
1:59:35
true that even if it's not real, Chiro, we're gonna go with that.
1:59:42
Do you have any statistical information on this? And no, these are
1:59:49
all like just real facts about babies born and all this stuff. So now
1:59:54
we're gonna go with that. Though I'm never gonna question Churo, never have,
1:59:58
never will. No, I'm not gonna question either. I'm not gonna
2:00:01
question. Let's see if we've got any of the news here before we get
2:00:03
out of here. Looking through, Let's see Missouri claims they are the twenty
2:00:13
ten Big twelve North champions, while Texas A and M claims they're the Big
2:00:15
Twelve South champions would surprisedly whe of the Big Twelve championship game was between Oklahoma
2:00:19
Nebraska. This is some stuff on just talking season, a lot of talking
2:00:24
season. Of course, you got college basketball coming up this weekend. You
2:00:27
got a big one coming up tonight. If you look at the schedule,
2:00:30
you got Tennessee and Auburn tonight, and right now Florida Missouri a underway and
2:00:40
Florida's on top nineteen to thirteen, nineteen to thirteen. And when you look

2:04:15
begin the second half of our program. To welcome back to the program,
2:04:18
Coach Carl Reid from twenty four to seven, one of the most sought after
2:04:23
voices in this platform. To get his take a coach, always good to
2:04:27
see, you can't wait to dig in. Thank you very very much.
2:04:30
And I want to start with the after effects of this NCAA ruling essentially saying
2:04:36
it's okay to do what everybody already thought it was okay to do, and
2:04:41
that was payout nil money. Good afternoon. Well, Paul, what that
2:04:45
rule did is it just basically put everybody on an equal playing field because you
2:04:49
had some coaches that were doing it anyway, but you have a few guys
2:04:54
that are trying to play by what the rules were, and now they've taken
2:04:58
the gloves completely off. So us an opportunity for everybody to get really active
2:05:02
in the nil space. So if you're one of those coaches, how does
2:05:09
it affect what you do now that nobody's going to stop you. Well,
2:05:15
you have to get active with your collective. You have to decide who's going
2:05:18
to get paid, how much they're going to get paid, and what kind
2:05:21
of scale are you going to use. It's very similar to an NFL model.
2:05:26
You have to have some type of structure how much money are you going
2:05:29
to put forth from your collective for the offensive line? How bad do you
2:05:32
need a quarterback? What does the defensive line get? And now it's going
2:05:36
to put coaches in a position where they don't feel is handcuffed because they're allowed
2:05:42
to be a part of it and nobody is going to enforce it. Coach,
2:05:45
we both know you know better than anyone how difficult it is to be
2:05:48
a coach at this level. But there's a lot of I'd say it's a
2:05:51
narrative. I don't know if it's false or not. I tend to think
2:05:54
it may be overdone that coaches are fleeing college football as head coaches. We
2:06:00
had the situation with Chip Kelly, We've had when some coaches go back to
2:06:05
the NFL. Do you think coaches are running away from college football right now?
2:06:13
The bad narrative about it right now is everybody's making it seem like coaches
2:06:16
are running away because transfer portal in the NIL. Coaches have been trying to
2:06:21
get into the National Football League since we got the early signing period and the
2:06:27
recruiting window shifted because of the schedule being completely out of whack. Now you're
2:06:31
having to do official visits in the spring. You still have junior days.
2:06:35
You have recruiting camps all summer. The college recruiting calendar has gotten so far
2:06:41
out of hand. That was the real reason why colleges started coaches started running
2:06:45
to the National Football League. It wasn't because of the transfer portal, and
2:06:48
it wasn't because of NIL even though those are the latest things that makes it
2:06:54
even more difficult to recruit now, but it started a while ago with the
2:06:58
way the recruiting calendar was in hand. Coaches, we're in the process of
2:07:02
changing that calendar. I know you've seen all the proposals and some of them
2:07:06
are about to be enacted if they haven't already. What is the best way
2:07:11
to do this. The best way to do this is for US. I
2:07:15
saw a report today where they're talking about going to three signing periods. Now
2:07:17
they're talking about putting one in June, December, and February. The best
2:07:21
way to handle this is to go back to the way it was one signing
2:07:27
period in February. If they put a signing period in June, Paul,
2:07:30
remember that I told you this, it's gonna be catastrophic and it's gonna create
2:07:34
it's gonna multiply the chaos. Do you know how much coaching turnover you're gonna
2:07:40
have from June through December when you start talking about the course of a football
2:07:44
season. New coaches are gonna come in and they're gonna drop and cut bait
2:07:47
with guys that are signed. Guys that signed in June are gonna want out
2:07:51
of there in our the national letter of intent, They're gonna want to move
2:07:56
to new schools, even if they have to use the transfer portal to do
2:07:59
so. That would be a catastrophic move. And if I was advising a
2:08:03
big time college football prospect, there would be absolutely no way I would let
2:08:09
them sign a national letter of intent in the month of June. We're talking
2:08:13
to the coach and certainly a lot of big issues going out there. Let
2:08:16
me let me do something that we really get a chance to do nowadays,
2:08:20
coach, and let's get to the practice field and get ready for the upcoming
2:08:24
season. You've seen everything that has happened. There's still a few more changes
2:08:28
to be made with the next transfer portal window. But who are you high
2:08:33
on this year as we get ready for the college football season. I'm really
2:08:39
high on the University of Georgia, and that could be an easy pick.
2:08:41
I think that Kirby Smart and his program had a really bad taste of their
2:08:46
mouth when they were kicked out of the playoffs last year at the last minute.
2:08:50
After winning all of those games in a row, They're going to be
2:08:52
as motive as ever. Carson Beck is going to be a Heisman candidate going
2:08:58
to the season. I look for the Georgia Bulldogs to be the heavy favorite.
2:09:01
I'm really excited about them. I'm really excited about what Lane Kiffin has
2:09:05
done at Old miss the way that he's rebuilt his defense, some of the
2:09:09
key recruits that he has, and it seems like Old missus pushing all of
2:09:15
their chips into the middle of the table. So coming from the SEC,
2:09:18
I'm really excited about those two. Let me ask you about the one that
2:09:22
everybody's curious about, and that's Alabama under Kayln de Bor. What do you
2:09:26
see there? Well, anytime you lose a coach like Nick Saban, who
2:09:31
has been the greatest coach of our generation, there's gonna be some change and
2:09:35
you have to adjust to that. A lot of people from the South don't
2:09:39
really know Kaitlyn de Bor but Kaitlyn de Boor has been one of the best
2:09:43
football coaches at any level for a really long time. Back when he was
2:09:46
an NAI coach and he won four national championships, high school coaches from all
2:09:50
over the country were going in the Iowa to study offense with Kayln de Boor.
2:09:56
I think he's gonna be a good do a good job at the University
2:09:58
of Alabama. Is he going to win seven national championships? I mean,
2:10:03
nobody else has done that, Paul, except for one guy. Listen,
2:10:07
I agree with you, and I think everyone also agrees of what he's done.
2:10:11
But what is his biggest challenge at Alabama? Other than succeeding Nick Saban,
2:10:18
His biggest challenge at Alabama is going to be the following things is going
2:10:22
to be Number one. The hostility of the fans when you don't have success,
2:10:26
when you lose a game, the way that the fan base can turn
2:10:31
on you, or the pressure cooker that that program in that environment is everything.
2:10:35
At a place like Washington is something new. Alabama expectation is national championship
2:10:41
or bus number two. Recruiting in the South is extremely different. The relationships
2:10:46
that you have, the gatekeepers that are in control that a lot of the
2:10:50
players, the high school coaches, the seven on seven coaches. It's really
2:10:54
an environment like most people don't know how to handle until they learn and understand
2:11:00
how to deal with it. And the third thing is navigating the NIL space.
2:11:05
Alabama under the saving era at the end was not as competitive with some
2:11:11
of the schools that were spending a lot of money on NIL. That's something
2:11:15
that has to be fluid and continue to get worked out. At the University
2:11:18
of Alabama. We've talked about a couple of schools you're high on. Let's
2:11:24
keep this within the sec just for the time being. Which schools are you
2:11:30
most concerned about this upcoming season. I'm the most concerned right now about the
2:11:35
Florida Gators. The Florida Gators have struggled a lot, and I think that
2:11:39
Billy Napier. The struggle that they're having down there is that they have not
2:11:43
been able to get NIL going and it's been catastrophic for them in recruiting.
2:11:48
They don't have the depth, they don't have the talent that you see from
2:11:52
the typical Florida Gators team. I think that Billy Napier was a strong hire
2:11:56
at the time. But when athletic directors firm committee people, when you're looking
2:12:01
at these jobs now, fundraising and being able to get your collective going is
2:12:05
a huge part of the process, and they have not figured that out yet
2:12:09
in Gainesville. So that's something that would be concerning in me going into this
2:12:15
season. From the sec the Floyda Gators coach ridd never disappoints. Thank you
2:12:20
so much, coach. It's great to visit with you, and nobody's better.
2:12:22
Well, take a break, a lot to unpack the rest of the
