4:19
SPEAKER_00: But before we get into that, anything standing out to you this week?
4:23
SPEAKER_00: There's there's a few good games on the schedule.
4:25
SPEAKER_00: Any anything you're looking forward to watching?
4:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to watching the uh USC LSU game.
4:30
SPEAKER_01: I think that's gonna be uh probably the I would think the bet one of the best better games of the weekend.
4:34
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be in Vegas.
4:36
SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah.
4:37
SPEAKER_01: That's gonna be uh I'm looking forward to that one.
4:40
SPEAKER_01: That's kind of a marquee matchup.
4:42
SPEAKER_01: So what about you?
4:43
SPEAKER_00: Who'd you pick who'd you pick for that game?
4:45
SPEAKER_01: I got the Tigers, man.
4:46
SPEAKER_01: I got Scooter Boot Boys and the Tigers.
4:51
SPEAKER_01: Uh I don't know.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't know a whole lot about either one of the teams, but I do know our our former running back, Woody Marks, is gonna be this, I believe, the starting running back for USC this season.
5:01
SPEAKER_01: So that'll be cool to see.
5:03
SPEAKER_01: Um, I read an article today about about Will in Washington and and how he got the uh starting gig there and uh looking for a great season.
5:11
SPEAKER_01: And and they're not gonna be really doing air raid, they're gonna do pro types, and and he's actually looking forward to it because uh um, you know, after such a bad season we had last year, it'll kind of give him a chance to uh to to prove the haters wrong and and uh show that he's capable of running a uh not he's not just a system quarterback that that every pause he is.
5:32
SPEAKER_01: So really looking forward to that.
5:33
SPEAKER_01: I'm actually going to go out in November uh to a game out in Washington and see Will.
5:38
SPEAKER_01: So looking forward to that.
5:39
SPEAKER_01: But uh I'll be watching a lot of Washington games this year and seeing, hoping he he does well there.
5:45
SPEAKER_01: But um but yeah, I think the L SU uh USC game will probably be the biggest one.
5:50
SPEAKER_01: Uh I think is it Clemson, Georgia they play this weekend too?
5:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Clemson, Georgia.
5:55
SPEAKER_01: That's gonna be a big one.
5:56
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
5:56
SPEAKER_00: And then I think it's uh Texas AM Notre Dame.
5:59
SPEAKER_01: Yes, Texas AM Notre Dame.
6:02
SPEAKER_01: Those are probably the three biggest marquee matchups for the weekend.
6:05
SPEAKER_01: And um, you know, I didn't, I didn't did you watch last weekend, uh week zero, Florida State.
6:10
SPEAKER_01: I missed that when I saw that.
6:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I watched the end of that game, and uh I kept thinking, you know, Florida State's gonna turn it on and do something, but they couldn't put it away.
6:19
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
6:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I uh BWI was uh I had to go uh out of town for a funeral and on the way back.
6:25
SPEAKER_01: I had to stop by Philadelphia on the way back, and uh I went to Geyser Falls, man.
6:30
SPEAKER_01: Can you believe that?
6:30
SPEAKER_01: I went to Geyser Falls Saturday.
6:33
SPEAKER_01: I went last summer and uh so I was like, man, this would be a good way to end the summer, just making a quick pit stop to Geyser Falls.
6:39
SPEAKER_01: So I went there for for the afternoon last Saturday, and then uh I checked my phone out when I got out and Georgia Tech had won the game.
6:48
SPEAKER_01: I forgot they were even playing, so I didn't I didn't watch it, but uh I was going down the uh going down the slides at uh at what at Kyle Falls.
6:55
SPEAKER_01: I didn't stop by Torpedo this time with that, but no bets, yeah.
6:59
SPEAKER_01: No bets, just uh just just water parking it.
7:02
SPEAKER_01: But uh but yeah, so um that that's his prize so far, state 0 and 1, man.
7:07
SPEAKER_01: That's crazy to start the season.
7:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um, you never know.
7:10
SPEAKER_01: Uh but yeah, Georgia, LSU, I mean Georgia, Clemson, LSU, USC, and Texas, um, Texas AM, Notre Dame, one of those is gonna end up at a with a loss to right on game one.
7:22
SPEAKER_01: So pretty crazy how that works like that.
7:24
SPEAKER_01: But that's what you get when you schedule good competitions.
7:27
SPEAKER_01: So, but hopefully on our end at Mississippi State, we'll we'll take care of business and start the Jeff Leby era off at with a one and oh.
7:36
SPEAKER_01: Um, I was thinking we we don't need you know, uh, I was listening about um Dan Mullen's first game.
7:44
SPEAKER_01: We're we're playing Jackson State.
7:45
SPEAKER_01: Uh, we've talked about this before.
7:47
SPEAKER_01: And you know, the first play he ran, he he he gave it to Bump Chad Bumpfus, who ended up throwing the ball downfield, and that was kind of a way that he did to kind of get the bad taste of our mouth uh of the fan base's mouth from the crew mirror, you know, to show and look, we're gonna spread the fun here.
8:04
SPEAKER_01: That was the saying that year.
8:05
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna do some stuff different.
8:07
SPEAKER_01: So I'm looking for Jeff Lebey to do the same thing now.
8:10
SPEAKER_01: You know, Chad Bumpfus is on staff uh with State now as a wide receiver coach.
8:15
SPEAKER_01: Um, he might have a little say in that too.
8:17
SPEAKER_01: It's as far as like what play to run to start off the season.
8:20
SPEAKER_01: Really look forward to seeing what that first play is gonna be.
8:22
SPEAKER_01: Uh, because you know, they're doing the tagline this year is uh showtime at state.
8:27
SPEAKER_01: So um instead of spread the fun, showtime of state.
8:30
SPEAKER_01: So they kind of kind of want to make it to where uh we kind of forget forget about last year.
8:38
SPEAKER_01: We're in a different, different, different era now.
8:41
SPEAKER_01: With the new code, new scheme, new players, all that sort of stuff.
8:44
SPEAKER_01: So I look for the Bulldogs to put up a lot of points and pad the stat sheets, and uh, because hey man, if they don't, we're it's gonna be it's gonna be in for a long season because we talked about in the last episode.
8:55
SPEAKER_01: We got a good chance to go three and oh off the bat, and then and then the big time SEC opponents start coming in, and we got them back to back to back.
9:03
SPEAKER_01: So it's come rough stretch right there.
9:05
SPEAKER_01: So we need to take care of business in these first few weeks.
9:08
SPEAKER_01: And we're not like old miss.
9:10
SPEAKER_01: Ole Miss, I was looking they have that padded schedule so easy, man.
9:13
SPEAKER_01: Like just right off the get-go, uh, where they'll be, I think they play LSU, maybe um as a can't remember who their first big time opponent is, but uh, they should be like top five probably by the time we get to it because they'll have wins, but but we just need to take care of business and uh hopefully get off the three and oh start.
9:32
SPEAKER_01: And and if that's the case, Florida Gators will be rolling into town and should be a big uh exciting exciting atmosphere for that game.
9:39
SPEAKER_01: But um in game one, do you just need to we just need to come out?
9:42
SPEAKER_01: Uh I saw in the press conference the other day where the top wide receiver we have, I don't know if you saw that, is not gonna be playing the transfer, Kelly Barr.
9:50
SPEAKER_01: Um, and then Jeff Pittman is off the team.
9:53
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, that's that's surprising, you know, right off the get-go.
9:57
SPEAKER_01: Um, he was I know he was a playmaker last year for us, but but the guy, the transfer running back, uh Booth is his name, I believe, uh, is not even getting the starting odd.
10:06
SPEAKER_01: We got uh uh Lee, I believe, is the starting running back now.
10:10
SPEAKER_01: So um that's that's interesting.
10:12
SPEAKER_01: That that shows that he must have done really well in fall camp.
10:15
SPEAKER_01: So um it's gonna be, like I said, a whole bunch of different faces, different people showing out.
10:21
SPEAKER_01: And but I I have uh my prediction in the game is uh I guess my score prediction, I'd say I I look for us to put up over 40 points.
10:31
SPEAKER_01: I really do.
10:31
SPEAKER_01: I think I think like I said earlier, we're gonna have a point.
10:34
SPEAKER_01: Uh Jeff Lebley's gonna have something to prove, and and I think we need to put up a bunch of a bunch of points.
10:39
SPEAKER_01: And and uh I don't know anything about Eastern Kentucky as far as what they got, but um I I think what we need to we need to hold them as much as we can, but I do think they'll score maybe later on in the game or something.
10:51
SPEAKER_01: But I if I had to pick the score, I'd say something like 42 to 13, I believe, something like that.
10:57
SPEAKER_01: I think they might score towards the end.
10:59
SPEAKER_01: But I look for us to put up over 40 points.
11:01
SPEAKER_01: And my playmaker I'm gonna pick for this particular game, I think uh Startville's own uh Stanka Burnside.
11:08
SPEAKER_01: I think he's a freshman wide receiver from Starville High.
11:10
SPEAKER_01: He was highly recruited.
11:11
SPEAKER_01: Ole Miss was looking at everyone else, and he decided to stay home and join Jeff Levy.
11:16
SPEAKER_01: And I think he's gonna show out, and I think he's gonna have a good good year.
11:20
SPEAKER_01: And uh I look for him to make some plays in this first game as a freshman, especially with Kelly Akari being out.
11:25
SPEAKER_01: Um, I think he's gonna get get some balls thrown his way.
11:28
SPEAKER_01: But uh, but anyway, uh looking forward forward to uh to being back at Davis Swain on Saturday and seeing the Bulldogs play.
11:35
SPEAKER_01: What are your predictions, BW?
11:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let me tell you what I think, and then we'll we'll do a little trivia about Eastern Kentucky.
11:42
SPEAKER_00: So um I'm with you.
11:44
SPEAKER_00: I I think that we're gonna come out firing on all cylinders right from the get-go, you know, gas down, foot on the gas, all the way down, and just you know, keep rolling, rolling, rolling.
11:57
SPEAKER_00: Every time we get the ball, looking forward to seeing some of that tempo, um, you know, quick scores, quick, quick everything.
12:03
SPEAKER_00: And um, I'm really hoping we put up more than 50 points.
12:07
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I think it's gonna be in the 40s, but it'd be awesome if it was like 58-7.
12:11
SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, be great.
12:13
SPEAKER_00: But realistically, maybe 42-7, 45-7 somewhere in that ballpark.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: Um, like you said, maybe let in a score or two at the end of the game, but I don't I don't want to look up, you know, in the at the end of the first half and it's 21-14 or 20 28-7 28-17.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: You know, I I don't want it to look close at all.
12:32
SPEAKER_00: Those scores need to come way later on in the game.
12:35
SPEAKER_00: And and I understand there's gonna be some moments where maybe you know, a coverage mess up or something like that where they might get loose, but but it has to happen later.
12:45
SPEAKER_00: It can't happen in the beginning.
12:47
SPEAKER_00: And um hopefully just leaving this game with some good feelings and you know basically going into the the next game feeling the same way.
12:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
12:56
SPEAKER_00: So that's my prediction.
12:58
SPEAKER_00: I agree.
12:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we don't need it.
13:00
SPEAKER_01: Uh no, we played was it a lot of tech uh two or three years ago, and it went well, you I think you were at that game.
13:06
SPEAKER_01: I didn't go to that game.
13:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, covers going and it went down to the wire.
13:09
SPEAKER_01: That was the first game of the year, down to the wire of the field goal.
13:12
SPEAKER_01: Then said, Yeah, we don't need anything like that happening.
13:14
SPEAKER_01: And then last year we we struggled in the first game last year.
13:18
SPEAKER_01: Uh it took a while to get going.
13:20
SPEAKER_01: So I really hope we don't struggle.
13:22
SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's there's really no everyone's we got you know, in situations like that, we have to last year.
13:27
SPEAKER_01: We're just getting the rust off.
13:28
SPEAKER_01: Man, there's no rust to be off.
13:29
SPEAKER_01: This is game one.
13:30
SPEAKER_01: You got to be ready for this.
13:32
SPEAKER_01: Uh, so anyway, you've been practicing what you've been practicing for all fall camp, all spring, in fall camp.
13:38
SPEAKER_01: So guys should be ready.
13:39
SPEAKER_01: And and uh, and I hate to see these guys banged up because you're this is long season, this is game one, and you're gonna get banged up throughout the season.
13:47
SPEAKER_01: So that's uh that's kind of concerning to me that the wide receiver is already banged up and it's not even hadn't even played a game yet, but but anyway, look forward to uh we got to put up some points, stats, and and uh and then get that win, and then that'll that'll be reassuring to start off one and oh and and uh moving on to the next one.
14:06
SPEAKER_00: So all right.
14:09
SPEAKER_00: Well, let's talk just a little bit about our opponent, Eastern Kentucky University.
14:13
SPEAKER_00: Uh Eastern Kentucky is in Richmond, Kentucky.
14:16
SPEAKER_00: Um, if you don't know where that is, if you look on the map, it is south of Lexington, Kentucky.
14:22
SPEAKER_00: Um, and just further south than Cincinnati.
14:26
SPEAKER_00: So our boy Juan Valdez, this may be as close as he gets to the Bulldogs all year.
14:31
SPEAKER_00: Um so Juan Valdez, maybe you should run down, run down and and see, see what's going on in eastern Kentucky, give us some some scouts or something like that.
14:39
SPEAKER_00: So um, but yeah, it's Richmond, uh looks like maybe 45 minutes or so from Lexington, pretty, pretty small town.
14:46
SPEAKER_00: Um looks like I can't tell the size of the university right now.
14:50
SPEAKER_00: Used to be called Central University, but now it is Eastern Kentucky.
14:54
SPEAKER_00: And so I'm gonna throw you a sophomore first, Johnny.
14:56
SPEAKER_00: What is the mascot of Eastern Kentucky?
14:59
SPEAKER_01: Well, I know the mascot because I just saw uh a post before we got on here of uh a bully and he had a box of uh or um of uh Kentucky fried chicken and it said beat the colonels.
15:12
SPEAKER_01: So I believe it's the colonels.
15:13
SPEAKER_01: Is that correct?
15:14
SPEAKER_00: It is the colonels.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: Do you know the you know what they used to be called though until the mid-60s?
15:21
SPEAKER_01: I have been told that they were called the Maroons.
15:24
SPEAKER_01: So that's right.
15:25
SPEAKER_01: Texas AM, Mississippi State, Eastern Kentucky.
15:28
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, that's uh that's gonna be interesting.
15:31
SPEAKER_00: It's a popular name back in the day, and and looks like they have very, very similar colors um to us.
15:38
SPEAKER_00: So I'm curious to see.
15:39
SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't know what our uniforms are this week and what they're gonna be wearing, but um, it's gonna be very similar.
15:47
SPEAKER_00: Maroon and white, yes, indeed.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: Maroon and white, yeah.
15:50
SPEAKER_00: All right, so then um can you name anybody that it would be a notable alumni from eastern Kentucky?
15:59

16:19
SPEAKER_00: Not quite, Johnny.
16:21
SPEAKER_00: Uh the uh the six million dollar man, Lee Majors.

18:14
SPEAKER_01: I was thinking you were gonna when you were saying Trivia and Juan Valdez, I was thinking uh I don't know what made me think of this, but I was thinking of W E B N.

SPEAKER_01: I always remember that.
18:43
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
18:44
SPEAKER_01: Good stuff, but uh that's uh speaking of one more thing.
18:47
SPEAKER_01: I just uh I just saw on Twitter the S I don't know if this is official yet or not, but um I guess we'll know we'll know Saturday, but they they uh unveiled the SEC on ABC theme song.
19:00
SPEAKER_01: You know, SEC on CBS have been a theme for years, and they've swapped it over to ABC this year.
19:07
SPEAKER_01: I think CBS is getting uh another conference on their games.
19:10
SPEAKER_01: But anyway, the theme song, if you listen to it, if you remember when we were kids, um, I don't know if you watched it, I was I was big into watching it on Thursday night football uh and Saturday night college football, especially uh Ron Franklin was the guy, the the lead announcer on SEC games on Saturday night uh ESPN.
19:30
SPEAKER_01: He'd always he's always been the guy who goes 10-5, he will score.
19:33
SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, he was he was actually uh I think he went to Ole Miss, one of the great uh announcers and broadcasters, and he's he's uh since passed away.
19:41
SPEAKER_01: But um the theme song, the theme music of coming into college football in the in the early and mid-90s, they've kind of remastered, and it's very similar to what's going on on the SEC on ABC.
19:54
SPEAKER_01: I got the exact same vibes from from it, same sound and everything that they just kind of tinkered with it a little bit.
20:00
SPEAKER_01: But uh, if that's the case, and what I saw, of course, you never know what to believe on Twitter these days.
20:06
SPEAKER_01: But if what I saw earlier is really the the real song, I I liked it.
20:10
SPEAKER_01: A lot of people were like on the comments, this is terrible, it's terrible, but man, like it took it took me back to back to nostalgic stuff, back to back in the day, uh ESPN college football Saturday night.
20:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah with Ron Franklin.
20:23
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, uh that'll be interesting to see.
20:25
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be kind of weird not having uh uh who was it, Gary Danielson and other guys.
20:29
SPEAKER_01: Brad Nessler used to be Uncle Vern.
20:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Vern.
20:33
SPEAKER_01: Yes, but so it's just gonna be uh a whole lot of different this year with the college football playoff and SC games on ABC, a lot of a lot of change.
20:42
SPEAKER_01: But uh at least it's at least it's back and and uh ready to go.
20:47
SPEAKER_01: Got quarterback club tonight.
20:49
SPEAKER_01: We're really looking forward to going.
20:50
SPEAKER_01: We we had uh I think uh Lamonis is speaking tonight because we had Levy last week.
20:57
SPEAKER_01: He wanted to do it a week earlier because he did not want to do it during game week because of uh game preparations.
21:02
SPEAKER_01: But I did have to say this uh uh someone asked a question, you know, just to ask what are your thoughts on quarterback behind uh uh Blake?
21:12
SPEAKER_01: What do we have there?
21:13
SPEAKER_01: And he was just kind of like, you know, we really hope Blake does not get hurt because we got two young guys, Chris Parsons, you might remember from last year, on the team, and then this Van Buren guy, some freshman, and he said they're really young, they're gonna be great quarterbacks.
21:28
SPEAKER_01: Right now, they're learning the playbook.
21:30
SPEAKER_01: They don't really know this.
21:32
SPEAKER_01: They don't, I mean, he said they're young, that they're not really prepared.
21:35
SPEAKER_01: So that wasn't very promising.
21:37
SPEAKER_01: That was like, we've got to keep the QB1 Blake uh not to get hurt.
21:41
SPEAKER_01: Because if we don't, these young guys will get thrown in, they're not gonna know what to do.
21:45
SPEAKER_01: So I was like, oh man, we gotta protect him.
21:48
SPEAKER_01: I believe he got hurt last year at Baylor.
21:50
SPEAKER_01: So um if he if he can if we can keep this guy healthy and block for him and and protect him and he can do what he's supposed to do as far as putting up the stats like he did at Baylor, I think we're in good shape.
22:02
SPEAKER_01: But if he gets hurt, we're in trouble, BW.
22:04
SPEAKER_01: That's what it sounds like.
22:06
SPEAKER_00: We're not even gonna talk about that, Johnny.
22:07
SPEAKER_00: We're yeah, we're gonna be all right.
22:09
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna be optimistic, yes indeed.
