3:00
Valentine's. Did you get me anything for Valentine's today? I mean, i'll
3:02
see any flowers. I don't see any cake or candy. I don't see
3:07
anything. Yeah, well, maybe I should have joined the people I saw
3:13
at the Krogues at eleven o'clock this morning buying Valentines, buying flowers and balloons.
3:21
That it's eleven o'clock on the day of If you wait, shame on
3:27
you. Of course, I'm trying to see. Do we know what the
3:30
exact number? Six point four billion on jewelry, two point six billion on
3:37
flowers, three billion on clothing, four point nine billion on evening outs.
3:42
Can you believe that that's four ten, twelve, almost twenty billion dollars on
3:49
Valentine's? Can you believe that is? Can we officially call Valentine's Day a
3:53
ripoff, a doctrinated holiday to make more. I mean, if you're Billy
4:01
zaying, sure and you hate love, you want to stand in the way
4:08
of love? Okay, Almost twenty billion dollars in this country on Valentines from
4:17
jewelry. It's hard to believe. Well, Jewely is the most expensive.
4:20
Six point four billion, almost three billion on flowers. Did we do this
4:27
wrong? Should we have had a flower shop? I mean, if they're
4:30
pulling this kind of money three billion on clothing and four point nine billion on
4:33
evenings out, that is unbelievable. Think about that. And then we still
4:40
have a divorce rate that's out of this roof and a break up rate that's
4:44
out of this roof. So where's all the money going? What's it going
4:46
to? Does it make a difference in the love life? Well, I
4:51
feel like this could be a Doctor Drew podcast. All Hey, there's a
4:55
lot to get into. Let's get started, all right. So, speaking
4:57
of numbers, the Chiefs went over the forty nine ers in the Super Bowl.
5:02
The numbers are out. If he hadn't seen it, one hundred and
5:04
twenty three point four million people viewed the Super Bowl across all platforms, and
5:13
the game on CBS was won twenty four or one twenty one twenty three point
5:16
four total, so you had another twenty something million on streaming and all kinds
5:20
of other stuff if not in the College Football Playoff. The ten schools leaving
5:27
the Pack twelve. Remember there's everybody's leaving the PAC twelve the best way to
5:30
frame this up except Oregon State and Washington State because it seems like nobody really
5:33
wanted them. But the ten schools leaving the PAC twelve likely will still play
5:40
in PAC twelve affiliated bowls next to the next two years, not in bowls
5:45
tied with their new leagues. Sources tele Action Sports Network, the PAC twelve
5:48
bowls of course, the Alamo Las Vegas, Holiday Sun Los Angeles Bowl and
5:54
the Independence so they're in different conferences, but they'll still play in those bowls
5:58
because of the tie and the con tracks to the now defunct PAC twelve.
6:01
Speaking of of the PAC twelve, the PAC twelve is starting the process of
6:05
separating itself from George Klaviakov. A little too late for that, but they
6:10
are putting that out there. They are severing ties, the two from George
6:15
Klaviacov, Notre Dame and Army will play a November twenty third game in Yankee
6:19
Stadium this year, celebrating one hundred one hundredth anniversary of the fabled four Horsemen
6:25
backfield. So you'll get Yankee Stadium, Army, Notre Dame. Brad mc
6:30
murphy has his way too early college football playoff projections out. We'll get into
6:34
that. It's never too early for some playoff projections. Also, Texas ross
6:42
Ellinger reports Texas Athletics director Chris Delcante indicates that the SEC is targeting the twenty
6:48
twenty sixth season to begin a nine game conference schedule, a long expected move
6:54
away from eight. So, based on Delcante's conversation with Dellinger and to others,
7:00
you'll go eight conference games this year, eight next year, and then
7:04
twenty twenty six will be nine conference games, and we knew at some point
7:09
they were going to do that. College leaders will get into this a little
7:12
later on tell Rosstellener and Yahoo Sports. They've begun to explore serious change to
7:17
the NCAA tournament and college football playoff in the wake of the SEC Big Ten
7:24
joint venture. A deep dive ACC's big twe in the Big twelves role,
7:28
inevitable expansion of March and March madness, college football Playoff dollar overhauls and modifications
7:33
of Project Division one, and yesterday Washington State, remember, Kirk Schultz of
7:44
Washington State has kind of been the I don't know, kind of the bump
7:48
in the road here for the College Football Playoff Committee to officially go from a
7:55
six plus six model to a five plus seven. Well, because he's basically
8:00
saying, hey, the PAC twelve is still a thing. It's two teams,
8:03
but it is still a thing, and there's still contracts that we have
8:05
to honor. You guys have to honor. Well, he will formally present
8:09
today and he may have already done that, no excuse me, next week
8:13
a proposal for the PAC twelve to be treated as a Power five conference in
8:16
revenue and voting rights in the future. Quote, we don't just feel that
8:22
we should be relegated by no fault of our own. So this man is
8:26
going to have a filibuster of sorts to try to convince the committee that the
8:33
PAC twelve, now two should still be treated as a Power five conference.
8:37
Can you believe this? This? This is wild, absolutely wild. Also,
8:43
your San Francisco forty nine Ers coach Kyle Shanahan announces on a conference call
8:48
that he was that he has fired defensive coordinator Steve Wilkes. Did you see
8:52
this coming? Jason and Flagstaff on the cawbol Malonwnies text line, It's only
8:58
a ripoff to the degree that people aren't willing participants. Well, that is
9:03
true talking about Valentine's Day. Also sources courtesy of Ian Rappaport. In the
9:09
NFL, Commanders general manager Adam Peters is hiring the Detroit Lions senior director of
9:15
player Personnel Lance Newmark as the new assistant general manager. And this is important
9:20
because this gentleman was, or at least they say he is, inspirational to
9:24
building this roster that the Lions have. So the Lions, the Lions lose
9:31
him to the Commanders. In the National Football League, Ohio State has fired
9:35
their head basketball coach Chris Holtman, so he is out and Ohio State will
9:39
be looking for a new basketball coach. We got updated NFL mock drafts on
9:46
quarterbacks and all kinds of stuff. By the way, your boy JJ McCarthy
9:50
keeps moving up the mock drafts. He was in the twenties, he was
9:54
at fifteen. Now he was down to thirteen. Jim Harborough may be onto
9:58
something. This guy may be the number one pick by the time the drafteds.
10:03
It could be JJ McCarthy. Believe it or not. Let's see RT.
10:09
What would be the worst Valentine's present for Beaver? A wood burning stove?
10:15
Now? Why would wood burning stove be a bad Valentine's gift for you?
10:22
I don't know what that means? Do you not burn wood? I
10:28
don't know. There's got to be something there with some kind of play on
10:33
the name Beaver and wood and you know whatnot Okay, I didn't know.
10:39
I didn't know if maybe he was calling you like a witch of sorcery of
10:43
sorts. You know, you think wood burning stove? Hansel and Gretel lot
10:46
in the quite a stretch. I'm just good, Lord, Both ends of
10:52
the mine, both ends of the mine. Before we take a break.

12:31
we move along, Hey, what's your best or worst. I'm just curious,
12:35
like Valentine's gift. I'm serious, Like, I'm curious, like what
12:39
do guys typically get? Would you be offended? Let's just hear me out.
12:43
We find that future wife of yours and you're in all this debt that
12:50
we want to get you in. You have all these kids running around,
12:54
and then Valentine's hit, would you be offended by any gifts she may your
12:58
future ex life would get you? Like women would get offended, right,
13:03
They may not tell you that. Remember Chris was in here about his birthday,
13:07
his wife's birthday, and she said, you don't have to get me
13:09
anything, and then he was asking us last time. Mayby brought that to
13:13
the air, and we know, like, yeah, you need to get
13:16
something. Like women will get offended. There will be there's no telling what
13:20
I'm will say. I don't have any data to back this up. Thirty
13:24
three percent of women a third will be offended by what they get today.
13:28
Is that high or is that low? That feels That feels about right,
13:37
Because a lot of people are going to make bad decisions. The guys will
13:41
make a bad decision and therefore that will lead to a woman get an angry
13:48
third, So a third I'll go with that. Somewhere around there. Artista
13:52
is a vacuum cleaner. Yeah, you don't want to get a woman a
13:54
vacuum cleaner, Like, I can't imagine. Even if she tells you,
13:58
you know, I just I need some pots, like I need something for
14:01
my kid. I don't know that she really means that. I feel like
14:05
there's almost a test. Yeah, don't feel like I don't know. It's
14:11
it's not a day for practical gifts. A vacuum cleaner practical because clean your
14:18
house. But you can get that any other day of the week. Is
14:24
a oversized teddy bear a bad gift for a woman. What do you even
14:31
do with an oversized teddy bear? Hangs out there. Even the kids don't
14:35
do a whole lot with it. They just end up sticking to the corner
14:37
in the room. Now they wrestle with it every now and then your little
14:41
boys that may just like beat it up, like I like, it's a
14:43
wrestling partner. But what can what can what would a woman do with an
14:48
oversized teddy bear? Now? They want to win them at the fair,
14:52
But I don't know that it's a good Valentine's gift. A candle is a
14:58
candle, bad gift. Get dump, get out of here with this candle.
15:03
You'd love a candle? Who me? Yeah, of course I would.
15:05
You love these candles? I burn candles every day. Uh, I
15:09
don't like candles. It's a gift. So if I bought you some candles,
15:13
when I go get them, you wouldn't use them. We need a
15:16
candle in that kitchen right now. Apparently somebody dumped some fish something in there.
15:20
What's in there? Well, there's no thought behind a candle though.
15:26
Rt. We're not going down that road. We are not going down that
15:28
road. What about a night at the movies. That's kind of a good
15:35
gift, right, Get a chance to get out, go get some popcorn,
15:37
hang out? What about a bottle of wine? You see, I'm
15:45
going here Like, there's not a lot of things that are just popping off
15:48
the page that this is such a manufactured holiday. But billions, twenty billion,
15:54
to be exact, is made on Valentine's Day? All right. ESPN
16:00
and the College Football Playoff have reached a six year, speaking of billions,
16:06
six years, seven point eight billion dollar media rights extension for the expanded playoffs.
16:11
I'll get into that. This courtesy of Andrew marchend ESPN and on three
16:15
dot com. Also, eighteen Michigan players are invited to the NFL scouting combine.
16:23
That breaks LSU's record of sixteen and twenty twenty. Think about that in
16:27
twenty twenty the LSU football Tigers with Joe Burrow, who some say could be
16:33
the best one year team ever in the history of college football? Could you
16:37
make that argument those LSU Tigers sixteen, Michigan is sending eighteen. So in
16:45
the context of this argument, can we make the case that this year's Michigan
16:49
team was the greatest football team in one year, in one year ever in
16:55
college football? Beg pardon? Could you make the argument that this based on
17:03
what eighteen guys are going to the NFL combine from Michigan, it's almost that's
17:10
three players shy of a starting offense and defense. No, no, because
17:15
this team would lose to twenty nineteen LSU. This team would lose to twenty
17:18
twenty Alabama. And that's just right off the top of my head. Who
17:22
don't know that? Yeah, I feel like we can safely assume that though
17:29
something to think about. Speaking of the New Orleans Saints something to think about,
17:32
are expected to hire Derek Foster as their new running backs coach. Foster
17:37
worked for the Chargers the last three years and coach players like Austin Eckler,
17:41
So the Saints continue to make those moves in the off season, like a
17:45
lot of people. Preseason twenty twenty four Heisman odds are out if you care.
17:48
Carson Beck and quinn Ewers are tied at plus seven to fifty seven and
17:53
a half to one. Carson Beck the quarterback at Georgia quinn Ewers, Texas
17:57
Dylan Gabriel ten to one, Oregon Will Howard, quarterback Ohio State, ten
18:03
to one. Jalen Milroe twelve to one. Nico im Alava Did I say
18:10
that wrong again? How do you say it? Iam malay Ava? Are
18:17
you sure about that? Yes? And why we're at it? It's never
18:19
been Clavikov either. I was. I saw that story this morning, and
18:25
I was like, finally he's out of a job. So I won't hear
18:29
Jake say this name anymore. That's the way it's pronounced. How do you
18:32
pronunciate it? It's not even spelled that way, It's how it pops off
18:37
the page. How do you say it? It's Keilov call there's an I
18:44
that there's a there's an eye. You're not even put in there. I've
18:47
heard people on TV say Clavakov. Well, people on TV said it.
18:52
I stand corrected. We know they're right, right, So say, how
18:56
do you say Deco's last name again? How do you say it? Ia?
18:59
Mali Iam Ali ava Ia male ava. I wonder if ai we're gonna
19:06
I'm gonna test this during the break. Were you about to say ai?
19:08
Ai? Now talk about someone who don't need to listen to, or someone
19:14
what something you don't need to listen to. Hey, you can get Garrett
19:18
Newsmyer at LSU at eighteen to one, Jack Smyer, what are we doing
19:22

19:30
right. This is a thing, you know what? No better day on
19:34
Valentine's dav and sitting here long enough to where you keep here and you pronounce
19:41

19:48

19:52

21:59
presented by c and those winners have been announced. Now. Those awards
22:03
will be after the championship games coming up here at the end of the month.
22:06
Let's talk about that tomorrow. We'll talk with talk to you about the
22:07
guys, and again the MHSA continues to do a great job with their awards,
22:12
banquets and recognizing the best of the best and all the big sports around
22:17
the state of Mississippi. Also thanks to see Spire for the sponsorships on this
22:21
and of course coverage like what you guys do at SB Live. Let's start
22:25
one A basketball. Keana Foot from Blue Mountain, a senior, wins the
22:32
one A Award. What can you tell us about her? Well, it's
22:34
rare that you get a six foot guard in one A like Keanna. She's
22:40
been good all year. She's the only girl on this list that I haven't
22:41
seen in person, But it doesn't take long looking at film to see why
22:47
she's so special. I mean, she avers sixteen points a game and eight
22:48
point three assists, which is an astronomical number. So she makes her team
22:53
better and I think she's a big reason why Blue Mountain has the best record.
22:59
I think or girls at twenty five and one in the whole state.
23:03
Twenty five and one, we'll see if they can make it down to the
23:04
big House. Tyler Cleveland sp Live talking twenty twenty four women's basketball. Of
23:10
course, talking about the miss Basketball Awards presented by Ceespire to a Macy Phiffer.
23:15
I feel like we've given this young lady like twenty five awards already,
23:18
and she earns every one of them. Miss to a Macy Phiffer from Ingemar.
23:26
Yeah, I wrote in the story we had with the announcement that they're
23:30
gonna have to put another wing on the Fifer House to house all of her
23:33
awards. I mean, you know, she won Miss Basketball last year.
23:37
She won Miss Volleyball this year. The only reason she didn't win it the
23:40
year before is because we did not have it. It was the inaugural year
23:42
for Miss Volleyball. So she's got three, should be four. She's just
23:48
an incredible player. I mean, everybody who's been to the Big House past
23:52
two years has seen her. She did it as an eighth grader, she
23:55
did it as a freshman, she did it as a sophomore, and now
23:57
in her junior year. She's just been instrumental for Ingemar. She's only five
24:03
foot eleven, but she has a nose for buckets. Man. She can
24:07
she can score from anywhere. She's averaging over twenty points a game. Uh
24:11
leads them in rebounding, I h so, you know, I think this
24:15
was she was pretty much a sea and this is probably pretty easy decision for
24:18
the committee. Three A is also a I believe a repeat winner, Miss
24:22
Snaya Cook, junior from Boonville. When you say girls basketball, much like
24:27
Ingemar or the next one coming up, Chalk Tall Central, you say Boonville,
24:30
you know it's big time girls basketball here in the state. Yeah,
24:34
you know, I mean a lot of times the piece of awards, being
24:37
the best player on the best team is enough to get it. Uh and
24:38
Sanaya Cook is certainly that. I mean, uh, she's been fantastic again
24:44
this year. She's led Boonville. Who's you know, knocking on the door
24:48
of another MHSA championship. You know, Michael Smith has such a good job
24:52
with both the boys and the girls up there. Uh, So no surprise
24:56
to see Sanaia here. She's just a dominant inside player in the league where
25:00
you just don't have very many of those. When you move on to four
25:03
A, you're talking about Chalk Tall Central senior Madison Bell. She is the
25:08
jake. She's just the latest to come out of that. They've got a
25:11
youth program over there on the reservation that has you know, like two hundred
25:15
girls in it, and they've played basketball day and night growing up. They
25:19
all play the same system, so they learn it coming up. And Madison
25:23
bell Is she's the engine that makes that. You know, she's the oil
25:29
that makes that engine. Per what I'm trying to say, she is just
25:33
a fantastic player. Her numbers don't jump off the page you like they do
25:37
some of the other girls on this list, but Chocktaw Central spreads it around
25:40
so much, and I don't think the committee held that against her. I
25:42
mean, she's averaging thirteen points the game at three and a half rebounds,
25:45
but for asist, so she's obviously elevating everybody else around her. Yeah,
25:49
you talk about that chalk Taw Central program. I was talking to somebody down
25:52
at the Big House last year about it, and I was unaware until they
25:56
told me just what you said. They start these young ladies and the guys,
25:59
these what I call theater programs, two three hundred people, and they
26:03
carve this thing down as they get to the high school team. I mean,
26:04
to get just on the high school team is a you know, kind
26:10
of a badge of honor, so to speak. There it would sound like,
26:11
and you talk about the brand of basketball, I mean it is in
26:14
your face basketball. Yeah, I mean, I don't think they have a
26:18
player that's over five ten and they're just dominant. I'm talking about like the
26:22
way they spread the ball around and they run the set plays. I mean
26:26
a lot of high school basketball, you know it's based on athleticism, and
26:29
theirs is not at all. I mean, it is a team game the
26:32
way they play. And like I said, I don't think the committee was
26:34
going to hold Madison's scoring average against her when they're so proficient, because she's
26:40
so good five a winner. You got to go to Holmes County to get
26:44
the five A winner senior to Kira Mitchell. Yeah. Man, she'd be
26:48
a bigger name in Mississippi if you didn't have to drive all the way to
26:51
Goodman to see her. She is a fantastic player. She's five foot six.
26:55
She doesn't you know. When you see her get off the bus,
26:57
it's not anything to look at. But once she puts on the sneakers,
27:00
man averaging sixteen points a game and four rebounds, three assists, and three
27:04
steals. She's just the leader of that Holmes County team. That's twenty two
27:08
and six for a reason. I mean, they're they're really good, and
27:12
she's probably their best player. Tyler Cleveland sp Life Tell taking us through the
27:17
twenty twenty four Miss Basketball Awards presented by Seaspyre. These awards will be after
27:22
the Championships first week in March. Six A winner, you got to go
27:25
to South Panola again. Another senior, Miss Kemaia Griffin. Yeah, she's
27:29
a really good player. And this is one I had to watch film long
27:33
because I saw her one time. It was really early in the year,
27:34
so I had to go back and watch film. But I was reminded quickly
27:38
why she's so good. She got South Panola to twenty and three. Overall,
27:42
she's five foot eleven. She plays inside, probably translates to a guard
27:47
at the next level, but she plays inside for them. She's got big
27:49
time scoring ability and and their motor run time. I mean, she she
27:53
leads the team in rebounds most every night. So another easy decision. I
27:57
think there were a couple of good candidates, but Kamaia Griffin really kind of
28:02
rose to the top last but certainly not least seven A first seven A winner
28:06
ever, because we're just in the first year of seven A classifications here for
28:10
the MH say Starkville Senior two D Lockett. Yeah, I kind of had
28:14
her pencil in for this award at the start of the season. I kept
28:17
hearing from people in Starkvills that they had a player that was going to be
28:19
really, really good and that they were going to be and it turns out
28:22
they were. They are loaded and two in a big part of that.
28:26
I mean, she's averaging sixteen points, the five rebounds a game for assists.
28:30
She's just right in the middle of everything they're doing right there in the
28:33
middle of that that offense. And she six foot tall. I mean,
28:37
she's she stands out when you look at her against most of the opponents that
28:41
she goes up against, she's got a size advantage, so and she uses
28:45
their body really well. So no surprise there. In seven A either Tonic

31:08
Hey, I need to tell Beaver something. I need to apologize Beaver because
31:11
I'm I'm shipped a little from my plan that I gave you on this phone
31:15
call. My bad Jake. Do you know do you have numbers on the
31:19
demographic makeup mail versus female of your ship. We've got a pretty good idea.
31:26
Yes, okay, I'm guessing this majority mail. Yes, around seventy
31:32
to seventy three percent. Mail. Sure, I was going to say super
31:36
majority. So that's true. So can I ask you a question? Absolutely?
31:40
Why are national companies running feminine Haichi products on the show? Well,
31:45
you know, beaver, well, let me tell you how that works.
31:49
Okay, and this is this is just how it works. So you have
31:52
what we call national agencies. They'll come in and they buy what we call
31:56
classes. Okay, I really don't care. I got to get to my
31:57
call. Oh my god, preciate, hey, yes, listen, listen.
32:04
So how many? How many people did you say Michigan's putting in the
32:07
draft? Eighteen? No, eighteen going to the combine? Yeah, combine?
32:10
Okay? So, Jake, you know I thought you had to call
32:14
it. I do. Oh no, no, no, no no,
32:19
I said, I gotta get to this call ahead. Sorry, So you're
32:22
throwing me off. So what's the you know, I like you, dart
32:25
here, love you. Okay. But you said they're putting eighteen people into
32:31
the combine, right, yes, Let me ask you something. How many
32:37
start on offense in football? I well, how many you mean on just
32:40
a traditional football team? Eleven? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, football team
32:45
eleven? Great? Yes? How many on the defensive side of the ball
32:51
eleven eleven. So why would you, with your mindset, with your smartness,
32:57
say that's three short of a defense and defensive teams eighteen plus three is
33:05
twenty one. It has me it's on offense and defense total. Well,
33:08
you're right two. See I missed it by one. See even I make
33:12
mistakes, obviously a lot of the money. Let me ask youself, what's
33:15
this little tour you have that you play with every night, that you invented,
33:19
that puts all these numbers in and you come out with these great stats
33:22
and you tell people how to bet their money? What's that called? So
33:25
you t come about the hourglass? That thing you want me to trust you
33:30
with my money? After that stunt? Well it's one. I mean,
33:35
come on, come on, it's been a long it's been a long day.
33:38
Can I get them all over? I do have I do have something
33:42
to tell you. That's really good information. You're talking about candles. I
33:46
took my wife, because that's what I am, a lover and not a
33:49
fighter. I took her to in the country this year and we found this
33:53
local candle company called stick sti X and Stone Candle Company. Yeah, she
34:00
makes them herself, young entrepreneur. Dude, we got the bourbon and butterscotch
34:06

34:54
might as well that dude's on one today. I'm might as well go ahead
34:58
and tell you what he said a off the air, might as well.
35:01
This is what the art conversation consisted of. When he first called in,
35:06
he goes, hey, what has five toes? And isn't your foot?
35:12
Said? What my foot? Then he says to me, Hey, how
35:20
does an Eskimo make his igloo? How iggles it together? So he been
35:27
going to space ghost face sounds like And there was a third one in there.
35:31
Oh my, it was equally as bad. But I can't remember.
35:37
Those are bad? Those aren't goo. I'm glad he didn't come to the
35:38
air with that. Artist said, that's a great channel for alcoholics and overweight
35:43
people. Let's see, Uh, you can text a six or one eight
35:45
five, three seven seven six. That is a couple of men one who's
35:47
text line. We've got more information on fourteen fourteen quarterbacks are going to the
35:55
combine. So fourteen quarterbacks and that that's a lot of guys at the combin.
36:01
Typically you get anywhere from eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, but
36:04
we got fourteen dudes going to the combine. We'll get into some of that.
36:07
Also, potentially what potentially adding a two minute drill in twenty twenty four
36:13
could mean for college football. We'll get into this possible rules change. And
36:17
the expanded college football Playoffs twenty twenty four format is close to being finalized to
36:22
the five to seven babel. Again, they're going to give this Washington State
36:25
guy an opportunity to UH at least try to prove his case on why the
36:32
PAC twelve should state or Pack two should state as one of the power leagues.
36:37
Dog tired Florence. When is a door not a door? When it's
36:42
a jar? What do you think about that? We'll getting some awesome,
36:45
awesome Valentine's dag jokes in here today. More bully started this six or one

36:54
a line. Also one note here to mention that just came a Rosfore we
37:00
get to the top of the hour. ACC approved in game helmet communication and
37:07
sideline videos usage per NCAA approval. Each concept was successfully used in Bowl games
37:14
and has been on track for adoption at the NCAA Rules Committee meetings for the
37:19
week of February twenty six. So the ACC is going to be one of
37:22
the first to do that in game helmet communications and sideline video usage as well.

38:59
play today. March Madness will be here before you know it. It's hard
39:02
to believe that we are close to that. And we'll talk a little college
39:07
basketball here in just a bit. But when you look at NCAA Championship odds
39:12
for the Championship basketball tournament, obviously Purdue in Yukon with a significant advantage in
39:20
the odds, Purdue right now six and a half to one to win the
39:22
whole championship, Yukon number two plus six seventy five, next to lines Houston
39:27
at nine to one, and then Arizona at ten to one, and then
39:30
it drops from there at Tennessee fifteen to one, Auburn eighteen to one,
39:32
North Carolina eighteen to one, in Alabama twenty to one. That's your three,
39:37
six, seven, eight, Top eight teams courtesy of Pen Gaming Anameristar
39:42
Casino. Now we know how this tournament will work. I mean, just
39:45
because Purdue and Yukon are fairly significant favorites doesn't mean that they're necessarily gonna win
39:51
it. Now, both teams have really, really good basketball teams. What
39:55
in the world, Artie, I have no idea where you're at citizens ar
40:02
risk. I have no idea to be careful out there. I have no
40:05
idea what you're doing. Hey, did you know Taylor Swift did not attend
40:10
the championship parade today? And Swifty fans are not happy. Of course,
40:17
she's not gonna attend the championships parade. This whole thing's over. You think
40:22
her and Travis are spending Valentine's together? Okay, she needs to be disgusted
40:30
with this buffoon, by the way, because she is a songbird. She
40:34
is an America's songbird. She is a singer. And first off, during
40:40
the presentation, during the trophy presentation the other day, that horrible Viva Las
40:47
Vegas rendition he did, and then today at the parade he's up there singing
40:54
I got friends in low places, but he's just drunk, screaming it.
41:00
Oh my god, was he really? Yeah, he's such a horrible guy.
41:06
He's a horrible guy. Six one eight nine seven one zero five nine
41:09
is the Malone Roofing color line. All right, let me get into a
41:12
couple of things here. One, Brett McMurphy has released his way too early
41:16
college football playoff bracket, Way too early playoff Back at a bracket by Brett
41:23
McMurphy. So, and again this is Action Sports Network. He does.
41:28
You can make an argument Bret's the best in the business, if not one
41:30
of the best. For sure. He has Georgia winning the SEC and a
41:37
number one seed. Georgia winning the SEC in a number one seed. He
41:38
has Ohio State winning the Big ten and a number two seed. He's also
41:45
got Oregon. Let me make sure one the Ohio State two seed. Why
41:52
is his not okay? Florida State the three seed. He's got Florida State
41:58
is the three seed. I had to figure his bracket real quick. Florida
42:00
State three seed, win of the ACC fourth seed. He's got Utah as
42:05
the fourth seed winning the Big twelve. So Georgia won Ohio State two,
42:12
Florida State three, and Utah four. Because remember the top four champions get
42:17
a bye. Let's get a DJ real quick, DJ welcome him. Well,
42:22
I heard you talking about the parade, and I said, it's just
42:23
an unfortunate situation. It is. It's a conclusion of parade, and for
42:28
sure, I don't wish any harm on anyone, but you know, I
42:32
think the world's heard enough of Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. But I will
42:37
say Andy Reid, in my opinion, is definitely the greatest coach in the
42:45
NFL today. But can you imagine the kind of control you got to have
42:49
to deal with that kind of antics on the sideline? Oh, there's no
42:52
doubt. I said that. When it happened, I said, man,
42:54
he is a much better guy than I am, because that would have turned
42:59
south quick. And not only that, I mean for him to do that,
43:02
I'm talking about Kelsey, it makes you wonder. You have to wonder
43:07
how he acts in the locker room, you know, I mean, how
43:09
does he act in the locker room? Is he a guy that is coachable?
43:13
And a wonder that maybe something like that hasn't kind of torn a hole
43:16
in that locker room? Absolutely, and anything is. And I'm gonna be
43:21
honest. In the second half, Kelsey was as as baluble as anybody on
43:27
the field. The way he played the block and you know what he did.
43:30
But you know the thing is, and I've been around people that were
43:36
all you know, I lifted weights most of my adult life. I had
43:39
two back surgery that I still do some light workouts. But I've known people
43:45
that do a lot of left in in their own different kind of regiments and
43:49
everything and everything, and sometimes their their rage is out of control. Not
43:53
necessarily just with steroids, but but other of course that out there. But
43:59
I mean, he he didn't look you know, I saw Tom Brady get
44:01
into it with his coach before, but it was a different thing, you
44:06
know what I'm saying. I saw Peyton Manning get into it with his center.
44:09
He looked like he was ready to you know what I'm saying. Sure,
44:14
And the thing is when you're that young and that strong to lose sight
44:20
that you're physically coming into a sixty five year old man, that shows something
44:25
about your state of mind. But anyway, love you show it. And
44:28
I wish I could get into your basketball talk, but you know, we
44:32
got spring football coming up, so I hang in there. Thanks DJ,
44:37
I appreciate it. Six or one eight nine seven one zero five nine.
44:39
Yeah, seeing I'm Tony. That's why we talk so much football. I
44:43
mean, most of this area, I don't care about that. I mean,
44:46
they'll play the tournament, they'll do their brackets. Same with college baseball.
44:51
I mean a lot of you go aheads like to say, oh I
44:52
remember a couple years ago. State's a baseball school. Now, no,
44:54
you're not your football school. Ole Miss is a football school. It's a
44:59
foot ball region. That's why we talk so much football and will continue to.
45:01
Now we will talk and highlight the other stuff. Speaking of football.
45:05
Bretman Murphy Georgia one on his way too early playoff bracket. Also Ohio State
45:12
two, Florida State three, Utah four. And that's where people are going
45:15
to get. People are going to get very aggravated with this this ranking that
45:20
the way they do this, because it's not going to be indicative of the
45:22
real poll. The real poll is. You know, Utah at number four
45:27
will not be the fourth ranked team in the poll. Likely it's gonna be
45:31
Texas or it's gonna be Alabama or something to that effect. But let's move
45:35
on number five. He does have Texas number six, he has Oregon number
45:38
seven, Notre Dame number eight, Missouri number nine, Penn State number ten,
45:45
Alabama number eleven, Michigan number twelve. Bois so he does not have
45:49
ole Miss in his way too early playoff poll. So he would have Missouri
45:55
playing Penn State right now and Missouri as a one and a half point favorite,
46:04
Boise State playing Texas, Texas a nineteen point favorite, Michigan playing Oregon
46:08
Oregon a one point favorite, Alabama taking on Notre Dame Alabama a two and
46:14
a half point favorite. All of those would be home games. By the
46:15
way, Missouri would host in this situation, Texas would host, Oregon would
46:21
host, a Notre Dame would host. Then it would move to the four
46:24
bowl games the vrbo Verbo Fiesta Bowl Utah versus number five Texas, and Texas
46:34
is a five seed, he would have as a nine point favorite. Let's
46:36
would likely be Florida State in the Peach Bowl against Oregon Oregon minus ten,
46:43
Rose Bowl, Ohio State Notre Dame, Ohio State a five and a half
46:45
point favorite, and Georgia Missouri in the Sugar Bowl Georgia as a nine point
46:50
favorite. Semi final games Orange and Cotton January ninth and tenth. Georgia a
46:58
four and a half point favorite over Texas in the Orange Bowl, and that
47:01
could be second time they play because they would have played probably in the SEC
47:07
title game Ohio State Oregon same thing. Cotton Bowl Oregon half a point favorite,
47:14
and he has for the twenty twenty five National championship Georgia Ohio State Georgia
47:20
minus one and a half. So early, wait, too early? Has
47:22
ole Miss first team out and the cheese At Bowl against Nebraska as a fourteen
47:28
point favorite. Now if ole Miss, let's just use this for this context
47:31
of this conversation, is the first team out of the playoff and the chee
47:37
At Bowl, that is going to be a really big disappointment for the ole
47:40
Miss fans. Let's go to DJGAM DJ, welcome back, Ay real quick
47:45
now of Robertto. But let me ask you this. Don't you think it's
47:46
paramount that the committee do everything in their power to finagle the seating to ensure
47:52
that rematches don't take place in the second round? Man, Yes, but
48:00
amount I don't Yes, I don't know if they're gonna do that, though
48:05
I get what you said, go ahead, and so here's I'll say.
48:08
I'll say Jack got to be part of the new boat process because now once
48:13
you get past the second round. But the thing is, it wouldn't be
48:15
let's say Georgia and Texas are the two best teams in the country. It
48:19
wouldn't be fair when you could all you got to do is fanagle the seatings
48:23
because we're talking about seating. We're not talking about leaving these people out anymore.
48:27

50:00
McMurphy bracket here in just a bit, somebody, Texas, Okay, what's
50:05
the deal I hear about the Warriors trying to get Lebron? You are our
50:08
NBA basketball savant, so I am not sure. What can you tell us
50:15
on this? Oh? You know how closely I followed the NBA. Yep,
50:17
yeah, So I mean the answer is in the question. The question
50:24
is self explanatory. What's this you hear about the Warriors tried to get Lebron?
50:30
The Warriors tried to get Lebron, nothing more to it. The Blakers
50:34
told him, nah, and I would think that to get Lebron James,
50:38
you would have to give up everyone not named Steph Curry. Now that's enough
50:43
NBA talk this weekend. Though, let me tell you your day. Your
50:50
day, Sunday, All Star, NBA All Star Game. Can't wait,
50:54
and it's it's NBA. You know, they have the festivities and whatnot.
51:00
Okay, so the night before Saturday night, since they got the NBA festivities
51:04
going on, that's on TNT. So usually on TNT that's their wrestling show,
51:08
so they've canceled that for the All Star festivities. I would say,
51:14
Jake, that wrestling is more real than the All Star Game. Agree or
51:19
disagree, I would tend to agree with that. I'm so surprised the NBA
51:24
hasn't gone the way the NFL Pro Bowl and just done away with the game.
51:30
Just start, get them out there, just shoot threes. Jack up
51:32
threes for two hours, so you can shoot the most threes in two hours.
51:37
All right, Let's see here, back to this bowl projection and bracket.
51:43
Let's see here who all? He has Oklahoma and the Request Bowl.
51:47
He has Kentucky and the autos On Liberty Bowl, LSU and Miami and the
51:54
tax Layer Gator Bowl. It's got Kansas State and USC and the Aluma Bowl.
52:00
Also got let's see Swabi Finnway Bowl, Auburn to the Texax Bowl and
52:12
China SEEFI. He has Mississippi State in here in any bowl game or Southern
52:15
miss way too Early ball projections courtesy of Action Sports Network. Nope, Biaber,
52:22
do you think Missisippi State can make a bowl game this year? They're
52:27
went told by fandels Is at four and a half, four four and a
52:32
half. You haven't seen numbers like that since the Crew era. Thanks Zach
52:38
Arnett coming off last year. There's not really much to believe to tell you
52:45
that they're to make you feel good about the Bowl chances. No, no,
52:52
it's not. And then, of course the same way with the Southern
52:54
miss they're gonna both have to have much much better season. Obviously, the
53:02
artist says, the NBA does flag football, NBA should do horse. I
53:06
tend to agree with that. Twenty twenty four, NFL see we have sports
53:10
quarterback projection. They now have five quarterbacks going in the first round. That
53:15
just seems so high. You think we can get five in the first round,
53:17
right, will you look perplexed over there? No, not perplexed.
53:22
Oh okay, this flag football business. The NFL is going so hard on
53:30
this flag football. Someone in the NFL network the other day said, you
53:35
know, within four years, I think girls flag football is going to be
53:40
bigger than women's US soccer. Women's US soccer, that's our that's our only
53:51
you know, successful soccer team. And already the flag football hasn't even happened,
53:57
and you're trying to tell me that it's going to be bigger than that.
54:01
I feel like the NFL is late to this way late, and let
54:06
me tell you why. And flag football has been around for a long time.
54:10
I mean I remember, you know, the universities have always played well,
54:14
they've played flag into the nineties. I mean you could play in a
54:15
Maryls and play flag forever. And then when I got out of college,
54:20
you know, I ran a flag football team. A lot of people that
54:22
listened that used to play in flag. We had massive leagues here in the
54:28
metro Jackson area. Massive for years played down around Hughesfield on Sundays, played
54:34
at Smith Wills and what they called a semi contact league Brandon Pearl Richland leagues
54:42
were everywhere. US and several other teams would travel Florida, Texas, Louisiana,
54:50
go everywhere play. I mean it was a big. Flag was massive
54:52
in the mid two you know, two thousand and five, two thousand and
54:53
six, two thousand and seven, they even had the USFL, you know,
54:57
the United States Flag League where you could go to Mexico. Like it
55:00
was really really big. So like I don't understand this now all of a
55:05
sudden found flag football by the NFL, Like this has been a thing for
55:08
a long time, and even the women women flag has been around for forever,
55:14
Like this is all of a sudden, some new idea. Yeah,
55:16
but now since the NFL is behind it, let's just let's just rewrite it
55:22
as if it has never existed, and let's put our NFL narrative behind it
55:30
and just create stories and say things like it's going to be bigger than women's
55:34
soccer. Who's won a World Cup before? More than one? Yeah?
55:39
That See, that's the thing. So in this you didn't have the NFL
55:45
spin machine behind you, No, and there was h And I'd have to
55:47
go back and ask a couple buddies of mine and some of you may be
55:51
listening that played for who I'm fixing to say. In the nineties there was
55:55
a team out of Jackson called the Group and they would wear you out.
56:02
When I say where, they beat you fifty to nothing and they went everywhere,
56:07
kind of like the godfathers of this whole start of this flag concept in
56:10
Jackson that was massive in the nineties to the early two thousands, and the
56:15
Group would go, I mean they were literally the cream of the crop.
56:17
These got me. There was guys that played at Jackson State. They played
56:20
all over me, but they were just well old machine and flags a little
56:22
different different game. It's not all pitch and catch. There's some wrinkles to
56:27
it, there's some ways to do things that you can't really do in traditional
56:30
football. But that was twenty five years ago. Said that, And I
56:37
don't even know if people still play flag. I got out of it in
56:38
twenty thirteen. I don't know if people still do. I've actually had people
56:43
reach out to me before and say, hey, you want to start a
56:44
flag leading. I don't have any time for that. I wish I did,
56:45
I just don't. But I don't understand this new like all of a
56:49
sudden. Flag football is this new thing. It's been around for a long
56:52
time, a long long time. Let's see here, Resdog MSU will make
56:58
a bowl. I guarantee it. Well, there you go. Valentine's Day.
57:05
Valentine's Day. Res Dog has predicted Missippi State to a bowl game.
57:08
Chicago Bear is still projected to get Caleb Williams with the first pick. Do
57:13
you think that really happens? What happens, Well, nobody's really talking about
57:16
this. Where is their current quarterback going to go? Then Steelers fields going
57:23
to the Steelers. That's the word on the street now, really, and
57:30
you know the word is the word is simply because Adam Schefter just happened to
57:37
mention the other day that possible trade destinations, and then he threw in the
57:44
words, Mike Tomlin is a big fan of Justin Fields. Therefore that simple
57:50
phrase, we're going to latch on and say, oh, he's in Pittsburgh,
57:53
no doubt. Do you think somebody outside of Chicago, We'll got to
57:59
take a break here, but a Tomlin or somebody else could make him a
58:04
better quarterback? Yeah, yes I do. And not just specifically Mike Tomlin,
58:10
although I love Mike Tomlin anyone, well not anyone, but most teams
58:16
not named the Bears. And you know how it feel about Justin Fields.
58:22
Look, I I think he's a little bit SMSs slightly above average. He's
58:29
an average quarterback. But the Bears have just that's not doing him any favors.
58:37
The Bears can't get offense right. No, Bears can never get offense
58:40
right. They haven't had offense right since Jimmy McMahon and Walter Payton. Hey,

Kelly Ford always kind of have to give some time. K Forward Ratings on
1:00:10
x also Kforardratings dot com. Kelly, welcome in, sir. How you
1:00:14
doing. I'm doing well, Jake thanks for having me. I always appreciate
1:00:17
it, man, I appreciate you as always. A lot to get to
1:00:20
in the next thirty minutes. Let's start with Super Bowl. Get your thoughts
1:00:22
as we close the door on the twenty twenty three season, you know,
1:00:27
which I thought was a fantastic ballgame, but your thoughts on what you saw
1:00:30
and as we now turn the page in the NFL as well. I want
1:00:35
to start right there, Jake, because there's been so much talk over the
1:00:38
last couple of days and you broke. People have broken down every angle and
1:00:42
talked about almost everything what you said on you thought it was a great game.
1:00:45
I keep hearing that from so many people, Jake. Where I immediately
1:00:51
went after the Super Bowl, it reminded me of another high profile sporting of
1:00:54
that the twenty twenty two FIFA World Cup. And I'm not sure how much
1:00:59
you or listeners might remember about that, but it was Argentina and France,
1:01:04
and this was in December of twenty twenty two. Was a winner World Cup
1:01:06
because it was over in Guitar and Messi and company were up to nothing,
1:01:10
really controlling the game, and it wasn't that good of a game until the
1:01:15
eightieth minute killing Mbope scores two goals and two minutes. Now it's game on
1:01:20
the last ten minutes of regular time, the thirty minutes of extra time,
1:01:22
it went to penalties. It was a fantastic finish, but it wasn't to
1:01:27
me a great World Cup final. That's kind of how I feel about this
1:01:30
Super Bowl, Jake. It was a really good last quarter, last half,
1:01:34
if you want to say that, and then obviously went to overtime,
1:01:37
and that's exciting. I don't think it was that great of a game overall,
1:01:40
but man, did it end on a really high high. So that
1:01:44
part I really enjoyed. And you know what we talked about it leading into
1:01:46
it. I said, the numbers like San Francisco, Vegas, like San
1:01:50
Francisco, you bet against Patrick Mahomes at your own risk. And Patrick Mahomes
1:01:53
once again, you know, Chris Jones and the defense, of course,
1:01:57
but Mahomes in a Super Bowl, big time up and you can't you can't
1:02:00
be surprised about it. No, you can't. Kelly Ford on your radio,
1:02:04
k Ford Ratings on on X and of course k Ford Ratings dot com.
1:02:07
Yeah, And you know when I say what I what I liked about
1:02:09
it, and everybody, you know, everybody looks, you know, it's
1:02:13
the same guy or girl, and they don't think they're beautiful, right,
1:02:15
I mean, everybody looks at the same mill and some people like it,
1:02:19
some people don't. I don't mind defensive football games. I don't mind chess
1:02:22
matches. So it just depends on kind of what now. Was it exciting
1:02:25
in the terms of offensive production and big plays early? Absolutely not. But
1:02:30
let me ask you this about the finish and then moving on because Chris Jones,
1:02:35
you know, was adamant today at the parade that he will be back.
1:02:37
We'll see if they do get those contracts worked out. Should they be
1:02:42
the favorites for you know, a three peat? And can you now quantify
1:02:46
this as a modern dynasty? I think get in reverse order, Jake.
1:02:52
I do think you can call this a modern dynasty when you look at what
1:02:57
they've achieved in the last you know, six years, with three three Super
1:03:00
Bowls back to back for the first time in twenty years since the Patriots.
1:03:04
I mean, yeah, I do think we are in the midst of the
1:03:07
Kansas City dynasty and they've been, you know, the team to beat in
1:03:10
the NFL Patrick Mahomes. If the Chiefs get back to the AFC Championship game
1:03:16
in the twenty twenty four season here Jay Covid of twenty twenty five January playoffs.
1:03:21
If they get to the AFC Championship game and lose that game in regulation,
1:03:24
that would be That would be the earliest that Patrick Mahomes has ever been
1:03:29
eliminated from the playoffs as a starting quarterback. He's lost a couple of ASC
1:03:31
championship games. Both those were in overtime. I mean, when you think
1:03:34
about how deep they've been going to the playoffs, they're winning super Bowl titles.
1:03:37
To me, yes, I think they are a dynasty. Now at
1:03:39
this point, you said should they be the favorites? Are they the favorites?
1:03:45
Again? You bet against Patrick Mahomes and that team at your own risk.
1:03:47
I do think they are a favorite, if not the favorite. To
1:03:51
me, you're looking at kind of a handful of teams. It's the Chiefs,
1:03:54
it's the Ravens, and it's the Bills. Out of the AFC.
1:03:57
I like each of those teams to be kind of in that preseason contender favorite
1:04:01
category. And in the NFC, it starts with the forty nine ers I
1:04:04
know they've had heartbreak. I know it's happened a couple of times now in
1:04:06
the last four years, and people are questioning, can Shanahan win the big
1:04:11
game. I think he's a really good coach. I think he's putting him
1:04:14
in a position to be there. I don't agree with every call a decision
1:04:16
that he makes, but I think the Niners are the favorite of the NFC
1:04:18
next year, and the Chiefs are among the favorites in the AFC. For
1:04:21
me, when you look at this NFL draft and I just I know we
1:04:27
haven't really, you know, talked a whole lot about it because it's you
1:04:30
know, we're just now to that point and you start looking at some of
1:04:32
these projections of quarterbacks and you know, I'm looking just let's say, right,
1:04:39
let me find that in the stat deck. You know. I'm just
1:04:42
light here now on on three dot com and this is courtesy of CBO Sports.
1:04:45
They say up to five quarterbacks can go in the first round. And
1:04:48
I don't know how much work you've had a chance to do on this yet,
1:04:51
but when you look at Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels and I'm just going
1:04:55
through the list here, Drake may let me find the others that they have
1:04:59
as poss first round guys go down, check to be, got to be
1:05:03
JJ McCarthy, maybe Michael Pennant. Yeah, you got McCarthy and then you've
1:05:09
got Pinnis. Yeah. So do you think that there are first five?
1:05:14
You know, off the cuff ten thousand foot we're gonna fly right over the
1:05:15
NFL for a minute. Five quarterbacks are worthy of first round picks. I
1:05:19
do not, personally, Jake, and admittedly this is not my area of
1:05:24
expertise. I do the work in college football, as you know college basketball.
1:05:28
I don't do a lot of projecting in the NFL or a lot of
1:05:30
NFL analytic work. That space is even more saturated that market is. So
1:05:35
I don't But I don't think there are five quarterbacks worthy of being in the
1:05:40
first draft of the first round. But because of the importance that the quarterback
1:05:44
position holds in football and then the NFL in particular, your teams are always
1:05:48
reaching for quarterbacks and when they hit, their praise for it and they look
1:05:51
smart and it's great. When they fail, people get fired, gms and
1:05:56
coaches get fired. So it's such an important position. We know that I
1:05:59
would not be surprised if five or more quarterbacks go in the first round,
1:06:03
just because of the premium of that position. But no, I do not
1:06:06
think, you know, top thirty two talent wise five of those spots are
1:06:10
held by quarterbacks in this year'sdraft class. Personally, let's go back to college.
1:06:15
I saw that you had posted on this. Paul Finbaum had mentioned this
1:06:18
was back last year. The ninety five Nebraska football team was probably the best
1:06:21
of all time. It was his opinion. You said that you leaned nineteen
1:06:26
seventy one Nebraska as the most dominant of all relative you know, up to
1:06:30
the field of any giving your nineteen ninety five is number six on your all
1:06:33
time list. That ninety five team was unbelievable when you look at you know,
1:06:40
and I know you've kind of chalked through a lot of this and done
1:06:42
a lot of work on you know, best teams as far as era's best
1:06:45
team, as far as so you have the nineteen seventy one team as the
1:06:48
most dominant team of all time? Is that correct? Yeah? So the
1:06:50
way that I would phrase that, Jake, and I don't have my list
1:06:54
right in front of me at the moment, but the way I would list
1:06:56
or phrase it is the nineteen seventy one and a braw team. This is
1:07:00
per my historical k Ford power rating, they graded out better than any other
1:07:05
team in the history of college football, going all the way back to eighteen
1:07:10
sixty nine. I've got estimated power ratings for every team that's ever played at
1:07:13
the highest level of college football. Nineteen seventy one, Nebraska granted out higher
1:07:15
than any others. What that means is in the year nineteen seventy one,
1:07:20
Nebraska was more dominant against the field that year than any other team has been
1:07:27
in the history of college football relative to the field that given year. Again
1:07:31
per my power rating, because in nineteen seventy one, if I remember correctly,
1:07:34
Nebraska has wins over the number two, number three, and number four
1:07:40
power rated teams in that nineteen seventy one year. I want to say it
1:07:43
was Colorado, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I think maybe in a bowl game
1:07:47
it might have been by Nebraska. Bet all those teams, and those teams
1:07:50
were two, three, four in some order in my power rating from nineteen
1:07:54
seventy one. So to me, nineteen seventy one Nebraska the most dominant team
1:07:58
relative to the competition facing that year of all time for my power ratings,
1:08:01
nineteen ninety five Nebraska, which is Paul Feimom pointed out, you know,
1:08:04
going back earlier in the year, was is his quote best team of all
1:08:08
time? They came out number six for me, I believe on that list
1:08:12
of all time quote best or most dominant college football team. Yeah, real
1:08:15
quickly before we take a break, they beat number two Oklahoma, not necessarily
1:08:19
any order, thirty five to thirty one. That was the closest ballgame they
1:08:23
had all year. They beat number two Alabama in the Orange Bowl. To
1:08:26
about this Nebraska team you referenced nineteen seventy one thirty eight to six, and
1:08:30
then they also beat number nine Colorado thirty one to seven, and they had
1:08:33
a couple shoutouts, a lot of seven point one score games, a three
1:08:36
point game against Hawaii, so extremely extremely dominant. I definitely can can see
1:08:42
why you would have them as number one. We are brought to you by

1:09:47
Segment two on a Wednesday. As we were off yesterday, back today,
1:09:53
Kelly Ford talking college football, little NFL in the first segment. We'll talk
1:09:56
some more of that as we move along here. As we get time,
1:09:59
let's go Kelly into the k Ford Reddings Basketball as we really are, you
1:10:02
know, kind of gearing up now that final stretch in the conference Slate.
1:10:08
You have Houston as the number one team in the k Ford ratings, perdue
1:10:12
follow about Arizona, Yukon, and Auburn in your top five. Yeah,
1:10:19
Jake, and I don't know, you know, who are you most confident
1:10:23
in this year? In college basketball? It's an open field. So you
1:10:26
did name the top five teams in my power ratings. Yukon, of course,
1:10:29
the defending national champion, is probably going to be a pretty popular pick
1:10:32
in brackets come March. But I think any of those five teams that you
1:10:35
mentioned there, and I'd even extend beyond that. You know, Tennessee's my
1:10:39
number six powerrated team. Alabama, I know they've got some losses. They're
1:10:43
number seven for me in the power ratings. North Carolina, Iowa, SA,
1:10:45
Marquette rounding out the top ten. There's really not a team that,
1:10:49
you know, quote unquote, scares you a whole lot. You know,
1:10:53
Yukon's be dangerous, Purdue can be dangerous. Houston if they're playing their A
1:10:57
game is dangerous. But all these teams have flaws. This year, all
1:11:00
these teams have been beaten. It's an open year in college basketball, and
1:11:04
I think that's exciting. It's going to make for a fun Mark Mannet.
1:11:06
No. Absolutely, and I would say that your ratings parrot. You know
1:11:11
what Vegas is saying as well. If you look at what I'm looking at
1:11:15
here, Marri Star Casino, Pen Gaming Property perdue right now, the favorite
1:11:19
to win the whole thing at plus six fifty six and a half to one,
1:11:23
Yukon plus six seventy five. Then you go Houston at nine to one,
1:11:26
and then it's kind of a smor gosport here Arizona, Tennessee, Auburn,
1:11:30
North Carolina. We go you know, ten to one, fifteen to
1:11:32
one, eighteen to one, Alabama twenty to one. And you know,
1:11:35
I wouldn't be surprised to see some of these, you know what I consider
1:11:39
a value bet picks. You know, Iowa State twenty to one, Kansas
1:11:43
twenty to one, Marquette twenty two to one, Kentucky twenty five to one,
1:11:46
even Duke thirty to one. You know, if somebody in that kind
1:11:49
of layer of odds, so to speak, to win this thing this year,
1:11:55
absolutely, and all those teams you just mentioned, if they were in
1:11:58
my top ten, they're in my top fifteen, in my top twenty of
1:12:00
the Power ratings so I do think there's a deep contending pool this year,
1:12:05
and there's not necessarily one or two teams that rise to the top, which
1:12:09
is gonna make it fun. But yes, this could be the year that
1:12:11
you see, you know, a four seed Ai Well Yukon just last year,
1:12:15
or a four seed, but a five seed, a six seed make
1:12:16
not just a run, but win the whole thing. Of course, last
1:12:20
year in the National Championship, having San Diego State Florida Atlantic was a nine
1:12:24
seed in the champions or in the final four. We've seen it in recent
1:12:27
years and I expect we're going to see it again this year. Speaking of
1:12:30
those teams, Florida Atlantic right now number twenty three for me, San Diego
1:12:32
State number twenty seven. So two teams again that have a lot of experience,
1:12:36
probably gonna be seeded, you know, outside the top four or five
1:12:40
lines, but have proven just last year they can make a run from that
1:12:43
position. There's no way to know until we see it on selection Sunday.
1:12:47
But you know, we talked a little bit with you about the SEC getting
1:12:51
you know, possibly a ligne you know, eight teams, nine teams,
1:12:55
and I do think there is now a defined cut between you know, Mississippi
1:12:59
State, who is the ninth team in the league at five and six in
1:13:01
the league, sixteen and eight, and then Georgia the next team, it's
1:13:03
fourteen and ten, four and seven, and then you work you know upwards
1:13:06
from there, Missippi State, Ole, miss Texas A, and M.
1:13:09
You go up the chain. Do you still feel that the SEC could potentially
1:13:13
get eight or nine teams or is it more like six or seven. I
1:13:17
do think the potential exists to get eight or nine jakes. As you mentioned,
1:13:21
there is kind of there are a couple lines of cutting there, right.
1:13:25
So you've got your Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, like
1:13:30
Kentucky, Florida. I think those teams feel pretty darn good that they're gonna
1:13:34
be not just in, but have some good seeds too. It's really as
1:13:39
you mentioned, the two teams right there in your backyard, Mississippi State,
1:13:42
Old Miss and I throw Texas A and M in there as well. That's
1:13:45
gonna be where the cut is is how many of those three get in.
1:13:48
I think six is your minimum, nine your upside, and I wouldn't be
1:13:54
surprised to see any number there, seven, eight, nine, depending on
1:13:57
how those teams specifically Missippi State, Texas A and m and Ole miss finished
1:14:00
the year, and then what have been able to do in the conference tournament
1:14:02
and how many big steals do we see in conference championship week from the other
1:14:06
conferences. Let's go back while I got you just for moments, to your
1:14:10
k Ford ratings that I'm looking through here. You know, you obviously see
1:14:13
your normal teams that we talk about, your Arizona's, your Yukon's, Houston
1:14:16
has become a mainstay at the top, even I guess you could make a
1:14:19
case over the last three four years, even more so the Gonzaga who you
1:14:21
have at nineteen. Now, obviously Gonzaga has been extremely successful, but you
1:14:26
look at teams like Creighton, no stranger to this at fifteen. You look
1:14:30
at San Diego State twenty seven, who was in the championship game, Dayton
1:14:32
at thirty, Xavier, your Villanova's, you know, not your you know,
1:14:38
your Saint John's all in this in this list, New Mexico, a
1:14:43
lot of you know, non traditional power type teams. Obviously Villanova's won one
1:14:47
championships have been there, so Exavier, but you kind of follow me here
1:14:51
like it looks like there's a we're kind of littered here. Saint Mary's is
1:14:56
in here at twenty one of teams that could cause a lot of fits for
1:14:59
a lot of people in the bracket. Yeah, Jake, there are and
1:15:02
that's exciting and people like that about marsh Madness. Obviously, it's one of
1:15:05
the main draws of it. I think, and we've talked about this,
1:15:09
maybe it's been a couple of weeks now, but the Mountain West. A
1:15:12
lot of those teams you just named are Mountain West teams. I mean,
1:15:15
the potential exists for you know, five or six teams from the Mountain West
1:15:17
Conference to get into the tournament. That's as many as maybe the Big Ten.
1:15:20
And we talk about the Big Ten being you know, clearly one of,
1:15:24
if not the best conferences in men's basketball this year, I'd say the
1:15:27
Big Twelve is there. But in terms of you know, top teams,
1:15:30
the Big Ten's always getting mentioned, the Mountain West is right there with some
1:15:32
really good teams. I mean, you mentioned New Mexico, San Diego State.
1:15:36
Those are probably the two that jump out to me the most. But
1:15:40
I think they're deep enough they're gonna get five or six teams in the tournament
1:15:43
too, and that is good to see. It's fun to see in college
1:15:45
basketball, in particular, teams from outside the Power six will call it soume
1:15:49
to be Power five when you throw in the Big East in there too,
1:15:53
and the going away of the Tax twelve, it's fun to see them involved.
1:15:57
And the American is gonna get a couple, the eight Pen's gonna get
1:15:59
a couple. Well, It's gonna be a fun march for sure, and
1:16:01
it just adds to the drama and intrigue. And I wouldn't be surprised at
1:16:04
all if we saw a seam like of Florida Atlanta make a deep from last
1:16:09
year make a deep run this march. Kelly Forward. Make sure to find

1:16:31
cut up on some of these texts because I missed a lot, and I
1:16:33
think it's because of this. I'm blaming it on this computer over here.
1:16:36
Ort not computer, is it? Is it the whole Google system? Jabeles

1:16:55
Very good, jabels, very good. More Bully just says, Toody,
1:17:02
what is this? What is he doing? Okay? See some of these
1:17:06
are so old you shouldn't even bother reading them, Like this is when you
1:17:10
brought up that girl that player named Tooty talking to Tyler Tyler an hour and
1:17:17
a half ago. Yeah, see this, I'm blaming it on the text
1:17:20
line Miko did send us, He says, what has no bottom to it?
1:17:24
My son's stomach part of the pregame baseball mell So his son is taking
1:17:28
in a whole box of donuts. What do you think about this? Yeah?
1:17:32
Well the best part about that, though, I noticed, is Okay,
1:17:36
that's a dozen donuts. But pay attention to the wording. Miko says,
1:17:42
part of his pregame meal that's true he did. So there's more to
1:17:46
this than a dozen donuts, right crazy, You got to gotta have a
1:17:51
whole menu for the pregame meal. Unnamed Textra Pocahontas from Pocahontas says the way

Let me jump back into here. Make sure I get these texts caught up.
1:20:46
Some of these are more relevant because of the time Monkey's riding dogs on
1:20:51
the Cowbo Maloneys text line. I played flag football in leagues in the nineties.
1:20:55
One night, I was actually warming up with Fred McAfee. He then
1:20:59
pulled me over to the side and he started running drills. Pretty awesome experience.
1:21:03
Brando Beave asked me if I wanted to help him get a football league,
1:21:09
get up a football league, two hand touch football league. It's Brando,
1:21:15
and you's Brandon fixing to help you with a flag football league or a
1:21:16
touch league. No, I've long been tired of Branda's lives possum neck.
1:21:23
Joe, the NFL may want to rethink playing in Brazil. I mean,
1:21:30
I see what Joe put in here about Brazil. Country summary. Yeah,
1:21:34
Brazil is not a pleasant place to be, but I think the NFL will
1:21:41
probably be okay because they're the NFL. Unnamed textra, I see where Matt
1:21:45
Carral signed with the Birmingham Stallions. I hope he does good and gets back
1:21:48
on track. I did not realize he was out of the league. Yeah,
1:21:54
yeah, it's on to the UFL. And I'm glad. I'm glad
1:21:59
unnamed text or text about this because I've been meaning to propose this to you.
1:22:02
Actually, it's been a long time since we went and witnessed a future
1:22:08
filled football game future failed football. Actually, this Friday will be the five
1:22:13
year anniversary of our trip to that loose AAF, that frozen tunder game we
1:22:19
went to. Yeah, why don't we think just to just put a put
1:22:28
it in your brain space, Why don't we consider going to the UFL,
1:22:33
the current future failed football league this year? When is we got a schedule?
1:22:40
Yeah, k I actually like to do it. I would kicks off
1:22:42
March thirtieth, right, the two closest teams here. Do we want to
1:22:46
go to Memphis or Birmingham? Birmingham, I'm not going back in that Liberty
1:22:51
Bowl stadium. Well, it'll be a lot warmer though, because it'll be
1:22:55
in April. Let's think about that. Were you about to say put a
1:22:59
pin? Yeah, I was gonna say put a pin in it, but
1:23:03
then I thought the better phrase would be just put it in your brain space,
1:23:06
put it in your whatever whatever. I said, all right, let's
1:23:11
do look at it. I'm serious, I'd love to go, just go
1:23:15
take it in because like you so, you don't think. You don't give
1:23:16
it much of a shot of making it. No, none of these spring
1:23:20
leagues, this, this is only this one is only sticking around because it
1:23:25
has phony Dwayne Johnson's name attached to it. A ka a AKA the Rock.
1:23:31
Hold me accountable. Let's look at the schedule. Let's find one to
1:23:33
go. How about that? Okay, all right, we're gonna do it.

1:24:19
birthday on Valentine's none of the less, happy, nonetheless, happy survival day,
1:24:26
Luke Wimberley. Yeah, my brother's birthday is today, so he's always
1:24:29
been a Valentine's baby. Of course that's when he was born. Is that
1:24:31
bad luck? Yeah? I think so. Yeah. I mean, Chris,
1:24:35
you never want to two occasions to fall together like that birthday on Christmas.
1:24:42
That's the worst birthday on Valentine's. That's no good. You can get
1:24:50
one prisons, that's true. And then also, I never thought about this,
1:24:54
and I've never really discussed this with my brother, maybe just because I've
1:24:58
never thought about it until now. It's your birthday today. And shout out
1:25:02
to my brother and his wife, Ginger. They're fantastic. They've been married
1:25:05
over ten years. I got two wonderful kids, awesome kids, Gajing Carmen.
1:25:10
But if you have a bad Valentine's Day. That makes it a bad
1:25:13
birthday, right, equally a bad birthday. Let's see here, space ghost.
1:25:18
I thought Beaver would like this article. I couldn't remember. I couldn't
1:25:24
remove the picture. It doesn't go home. No, what don't we do
1:25:27
it? What do you mean to remove? The picture? Doesn't go with
1:25:30
this information? They'll see female Stingray could have been Oh what does he doing?
1:25:40
You couldn't even send us the article that you promised us for two weeks
1:25:45
about football, a real topic, but you you did never even send that.
1:25:53
You kept building it up, but you for you have foregone that to
1:25:57
send us an article that's titled Females being Ray could have been impregnated by mel
1:26:01
Shark? What is the National Enquirer PT for MSU? Did y'all go to
1:26:11
the Birmingham or Memphis? Did y'all go to Birmingham or Memphis? A few
1:26:14
years ago? It's like an unwritten rule that the Liberty Bowl is going to
1:26:17
be the coldest and hottest place ever. Yes, that is one hundred percent
1:26:20
true that Liberty Bowl. And we went to the Liberty Bowl, went to
1:26:24
Memphis, and it was one of the coldest games. And I will tell
1:26:29
you this twice in my life. Two of the coldest games have been in
1:26:32
that stadium. I don't like the Liberty Bowl, no offense, Shaun c
1:26:36
Memphis, I don't like that stadium is cold. It is always cold.
1:26:42
It seems like or hot. If you go in September, it's going to
1:26:45
be bowling hot. Something about being close to that Missisi River. I'm telling
1:26:47
you, I've never been to a game in the hot times there, but
1:26:51
I've been to two and the cold and they're the coldest games I've ever been
1:26:55
to. Well, if they have a kickoff game in like late August,
1:26:57
maybe you should go. Yeah, just go experience. Side note quick PT
1:27:02
for MSU. Let's circle back because you weren't here yesterday. PT for MSU
1:27:06
came in yesterday, he sat in for a little bit of Matt Show,
1:27:11
and uh he brought us gumbo. How about once again? PT for MSU.
1:27:15
Thank you. It's it's in the fridge by the way still if you
1:27:18
want to grab some. Absolutely I do absolutely, thank you, sir.
1:27:21
Appreciate the gumbo and I appreciate you're honesty. Well, if it hadn't gotten
1:27:26
rated out of there, yeah, okay, I say, let me let
1:27:29
me walk that back a little bit. You're right, I didn't think about
1:27:31
that. I say it. It was in the gump. It was in
1:27:33
the gumbo. It was in the fridge when I left yesterday. So yeah,
1:27:40
like you said, people around here and food. We've talked about that
1:27:43
before. It is a real life hunger games, no pun intended. Yeh,
1:27:46
don't leave your stuff. I don't ever bring food and put in that
1:27:48
frigerator because even if you get here in the morning and put it in there,
1:27:51
it may not be there lunch, and then nobody will be held accountable.
1:27:55
Be like, hey, did somebody I don't even know what you're talking
1:27:57
about. What do you mean somebody just walks back there? Hey? SEC
1:28:01
baseball obviously is kicking off this week. College Sports on Sirius XM says in
1:28:09
a loaded SEC West, Missisippi State baseball was picked last in the coaches poll.
1:28:14
Chris Lamonis says that his players are pissed and they talk about it every
1:28:20
day. So do you think, and you look at the projections for most
1:28:27
places NOLA dot com, Missisippi State dead last in the SEC West. Now
1:28:34
you could be last in the West and still get into the national tournament.
1:28:38
But I don't know that he can afford a last place finish, can he?
1:28:43
No, No, you can't. You can say, oh, they're
1:28:46
mad, Yeah, I'm sure they are. Okay, what's that do nothing?
1:28:50

1:30:03
doing? I'm good man? How are you man? I'm good? And
1:30:05
actually that's sat f B Uncensored sat FB Uncensored for the podcast. Hey,
1:30:11
did the Super Bowl turn out like you wanted it? Yeah? I thought
1:30:15
I thought it was a good game, Like in the fourth quarter. It
1:30:16
was kind of a slow start, but it was you know, I like,
1:30:20
as a as a person that has been a Falcons fan for for decades,
1:30:25
anytime Kyle Shanahan blows the lead, it's still painful to have a reminder
1:30:30
of that, you know, twenty eight to three lead, It gets the
1:30:32
past. But yeah, I hope that guy I think, I said on
1:30:34
Twitter, I hope besides his virginity, I think I lose everything he has
1:30:39
every single time out. So there you go. I don't even care how
1:30:41
that sounds. That guy is the worst. So we'll get into some other
1:30:44
stuff here besides football, But who have some football questions? Kaylen de Boorr
1:30:48
loses an OC to the NFL to the Seattle Seahawks. What's the update or
1:30:53
what's the lightest on his staff? And of course you know, some kind
1:30:56
of bumps in the road here for him. Yeah, you know, I
1:30:59
think it's not like it, ducks, that you're gonna lose the OC after
1:31:02
you automatic or you just just kind of to go over. I think he's
1:31:05
been on, you know, on the job for about a month now.
1:31:11
So let's the boor grub leading for Seattle. I always have a hard time
1:31:15
getting upset about coaches who do the right thing for their career, and I
1:31:19
think it's probably the right thing for his career. And I think you're gonna
1:31:23
see a lot more of this too, with just how unforgiving and and demanding
1:31:29
the college coach's calendar really is because it just doesn't stop, just never stopped.
1:31:34
So I think he made the right choice. I might. I think,
1:31:39
you know, it's I don't know how you're going to replacement. I
1:31:41
think they've they decided to take the tight end coach who's also from Washington,
1:31:45
elevates him to the OC and you know, like I know very little about
1:31:49
him, but I think that you know, the thing that if you're if
1:31:53
you're a Bandon fan trying to you know, rest easy at night, the
1:31:56
thing to keep looking back at is that you know, it's Ryan, I'm
1:31:59
sorry, it's Kayleb bars often and I think that that's the kind of positive
1:32:03
I guess hope that going into the season where it's not going to be a
1:32:09
huge issue because he is the guy that's been kind of pulling the strings behind
1:32:12
the curtain for most of those years. Chris Marler on your radio. Make
1:32:15
sure to find him on x also Saturday down South dot com. Brett McMurphy
1:32:20
released today is way too early. It's never way too early to talk college
1:32:24
football playoff, but you know, some may say that, but way too
1:32:26
early college football playoff projections. He had four SEC teams in this from you
1:32:30
know who you would think Georgia, Texas, Alabama and then Missouri. All
1:32:35
miss fans would take you know, they would take up hands for that.
1:32:40
You know, they throw hands on that one because the you know, the
1:32:43
expectations in this state is as highs I've ever seen it for ole Miss this
1:32:45
year to make this playoff. I'm curious to see how this committee, I
1:32:49
want your thoughts on this really does this because and what I mean this is
1:32:53
the selection part. We know that they got to take four champions from the
1:32:57
Power four conferences. We know they got to take one group of champion.
1:33:00
But then after that all bets are off because Notre Dame and they have Notre
1:33:03
Dame in this projected field from Brett McMurphy. If Notre Dame wins ten ball
1:33:08
games, they're likely going to get in. You know, there's likely a
1:33:11
scenario where Liberty runs the table again and then maybe Memphis or Boise State,
1:33:16
and they have Boise State in this this field as well has a good enough
1:33:19
season to warrant this consideration. How many SEC teams just off the cuff?
1:33:25
Do you think it's going to be four? Could it be five? Or
1:33:27
will we be surprised and it only be two or three? You know,
1:33:30
I think the surprise is the way they're gonna end up being with them.
1:33:34
So here's the thing. SEC fans, as soon as they started, I'm
1:33:38
going to a twelve team playoffs. The idea and the thought was any assumption
1:33:43
more than anything from from the SEC fans goes, oh my gosh, we're
1:33:45
gonna get four or five teams in every year. We don't know that.
1:33:48
But we don't know that. We've we've seen the DCS. We've seen you
1:33:53
know them get two teams in the National Championship multiple times and in the BCS
1:33:57
there and as a playoffs and we're gonna get most teams with Talfortboule playoffs era
1:34:00
as well. But like, we don't know what this looks like. So
1:34:03
the assumption that everyone is just going to get in with ten wins, I
1:34:08
don't see that happening. And what you're gonna end up finding is, you
1:34:12
know, the thing with Notre Dame is what really kind of pisses me off
1:34:15
because you're you're basically going back to the DCS era with how you're going to
1:34:19
treat Notre Dame, and that is if Notre Dame and then during the VCS,
1:34:24
if they got to ten wins, it was an automatic bit. And
1:34:27
that's ridiculous. And that's a ridiculous thing to say just because they don't play
1:34:31
in a conference. You know, I'll just before I get on a little
1:34:33
ran about it, like I don't care that you play, you know,
1:34:38
a military institute or an academy or something like that in a in Yankee Stadium
1:34:44
once a year. It isn't translat into having a really difficult schedule for me,
1:34:46
and I don't care. So what I do worry about, though,
1:34:50
is in the SEC, like getting four teams it seems doable, but you're
1:34:55
you're assuming you're only gonna get one group of five. You're assuming that like
1:34:58
going to get one Big twelve and then and then where where's the rest?
1:35:00
Where are the rest of teams coming from? You're probably getting matched from the
1:35:03
Big ten getting four teams from there, and then just assuming ACC is only
1:35:08
getting one to two as well, we don't know that's how it gonna work.
1:35:11
And we start looking at these other conferences like the Big ten, I'm
1:35:14
sorry, like the Big twelve, like ACC you talk about going to eleven
1:35:16
and one, Like who's to say that they don't get it, Like an
1:35:20
eleven O one comes and probably get it over a ten and two Ole Myth
1:35:26
or Miszoo or something like that. I just I think the assumption that the
1:35:29
SEC is just gonna kind of run roughshot through this, this twelve team playoffs
1:35:32
is not not going to you know it happens. Rush of people think it
1:35:38
is. No one agree. It's gonna be fascinating to watch it all unfold
1:35:42
and and see, uh, you know how the selection committee does this When
1:35:45
we get down to that point. Hey, when I say we, I
1:35:47
don't necessarily mean you. I know we haven't talked a lot about it.
1:35:48
Here are we sleeping on Tennessee? Should we be putting the NC in this
1:35:51
conversation? Yes, it's like I there is real quick the old miss thing.
1:35:58
I know you didn't ask, but like that schedule. It's difficult to
1:36:01
look at a schedule in the SEC going into next year with everything they have
1:36:04
added, but texts to know you and all that. But like you look
1:36:06
at oh mist scheduled very favorable, staying with Tennessee and then they gotta I
1:36:12
think they have a road game Ado you get bam Let home. You know,
1:36:15
I think they all on the roads. George, I think I could
1:36:17
be wrong about that, But I mean, for the most part, like
1:36:20
that schedule is pretty manageable. And this is going to be an influx of
1:36:24
offensive talent that we have not seen yet. Josh Tippool at any at any
1:36:29
stop right, And and that's the guy that made you know, not just
1:36:31
Drew Lock like a like a a three four thousand yard pass or whatever it
1:36:38
was, but also like set the single season record for touchdowns in a season.
1:36:42
If he can get with Drew Lock, they got what he's gonna do
1:36:44
with five Star TV, like Nico and and it's not just him, it's
1:36:46
the supporting cast around him with the five starts he has coming in, like
1:36:50
Mike Matthews, Mile Matter and Parks you like some of the other grow McCoy
1:36:55
coming back. I mean, they are loaded on offense. And the thing
1:36:58
about Tennessee that no want to seem to really understand. Over the last couple
1:37:00
of years, that defense was probably one of the more underrated and overlooked units
1:37:05
in the entire country, and at times it's really really good. So if
1:37:09
they can continue to improve, like I think they probably will. In your
1:37:12
or your foreigner hypool, I mean, you know, I think I think
1:37:15
that they are. I like them way over the zoo to get in the
1:37:17
playoffs. Chris Marler talking college football Little NFL on a Wednesday, got one
1:37:23
more question for you, Hey, do you do you like college baseball?
1:37:27
Do you mean do you get into the college baseball I do. I like
1:37:30
you. I'm not gonna be watching like midweek directional schools first versus the SEC
1:37:35
teams, but on the weekends like that, when you start getting some of
1:37:39
these SEC matchups, I definitely will no one agree, and it should be
1:37:44
a fantastic, fantastic baseball season. And make sure to find him on X

1:39:55
to get back into this Tennessee conversation. Let me get caught up over here,
1:39:57
rez dog. I'm pissed m issue baseball suck as you should be.
1:40:00
Now, let's pump the brakes. Let's just see what kind of product they
1:40:04
roll out. Let's just see what they roll out. I mean that's the
1:40:09
beautiful thing about sports, right. I mean, we do a lot of
1:40:11
talking in sports, but at some point the rubber has to meet the road
1:40:14
and the ball games have to have to happen. Yeah, you know,
1:40:17
let's use the same word used at the beginning a football season. It's hope
1:40:24
hope season. Friday starts Hope season. Are we not in hope season right
1:40:30
now? I mean, well, it starts Friday. Officially, Hope season
1:40:36
begins Friday. Now. They play the Air Force Falcons three game set this
1:40:43
weekend, Toudy Noblefield. It's gonna be pretty cool. This weekend always is
1:40:47
kind of open. A weekend. State goes out, sweeps air Force all
1:40:53
as well. Everybody's happy right in maroon and white. Air Force knocks State
1:40:59
offs four to two on Friday. I don't know that State fans will be
1:41:04
able to contain themselves. State wins on Friday, winds on Saturday, lose
1:41:09
the cluss on Sunday. Maybe some grumbling beaver. Do they need to sweep
1:41:14
air Force to keep because look, this whole thing is so volatile. I
1:41:21
don't know that State fans can handle a loss this weekend. One not one.
1:41:30
You let State pull around and lose Friday, Opening week opening ballgame.
1:41:34
Opening Weekend X may crash, Jean's page may crash, six Pack may crash.
1:41:44
They all may crash if they lose on Friday. Yeah, it's ridiculous
1:41:50
to live and die with what hope what happens opening weekend. But you people
1:41:57
will you people, and that doesn't mean just Mississippi State people. Mississippi State
1:42:02
and all of his people will both do this kind of pathetic opening weekend.
1:42:09
Two games in oh Man, we lost a game. That's it. At
1:42:14
the I'm trying, oh Man. See, I want to go with the
1:42:17
hope season. I understand hopes and dreams, but at the same time,
1:42:24
I get it. Your last two years have been ridiculous. But don't don't
1:42:31
give up after three games. Try it this year. Try not doing that
1:42:38
this year. See what happens. Well, I don't know. If they
1:42:42
give up, some do, it just becomes an eternal gripe season. It
1:42:47
makes Twitter slash X awful, But I mean State's non conference schedule three games
1:42:54
against air Force next week. They'll play a three games set against our two
1:42:58
games against Austin p MIDWEK three games set against Georgia Southern Jackson State three games
1:43:06
set against Mount Saint Mary's Southern Miss at Trustmark Park, Evansville, three game
1:43:12
set. That's before they open SEC play on March fifteenth against LSU. If
1:43:20
State is back whatever, that means, they shouldn't lose any more than one
1:43:27
or two ballgames in the non con If State struggles to let's see how many
1:43:33
games is that. Let's see one, two, three, four, five,
1:43:36
six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
1:43:41
thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen ballgames. If they wander out to a
1:43:47
paltry ten and six, it is going to be a long SEC schedule,
1:43:55
and I mean long now. If they roll out to fifteen and one or
1:43:59
even sixteen and oh or fourteen and two, we got a shot. That's
1:44:02
the one thing non conference schedule will show you, because you know what the
1:44:06
SCC is gonna bring. You're talking about again. We've said this, pound
1:44:10
for pound, you can make a case SEC baseball top to bottom. It's
1:44:13
tougher than football. It really is, as far as collective competition in one
1:44:18
conference. So if you roll out to a pretty good start in your non
1:44:24
conference, then that might bode well for your SEC schedule. But you can't
1:44:28
roll out at ten and six and lose the air force that. I yes,
1:44:31
the people will burn the whole world down. But then you look at
1:44:33
the overall and like you said, the baseball season is so long, I
1:44:36
mean college baseball. To me, the schedule is perfect as far as the
1:44:40
link, but it's still a long season. So that makes for a long,
1:44:43
long offseason. Cw our notre name is garbage possum nec Joe. Yeah,
1:44:51
there was a shooting sadly Joe at the Super Bowl parade today, and
1:44:56
I hate to see that, I really do. That's get tired of seeing
1:44:59
stuff like that. All right, let's see here, let's move along.
1:45:01
Show we Tennessee. I asked Chris Marler, are we sleeping on the Tennessee
1:45:04
volunteers? He was quick to answer, yes, what you got over there?
1:45:11
I just don't appreciate how you skip over certain people. What did I
1:45:15
do? See? I don't see stuff. Hold on, let me refresh.
1:45:21
Oh there it is. See we're gonna do something different here. Let's
1:45:28
see, h Clay, who would you take with the best odds to win
1:45:33
the College World Series? From Clay, let me see if a Marastar's got
1:45:39
College World Series odds out yet let me go over here. You can go
1:45:41
to AmeriStar Casino dot com. Is that who you were talking about me skipping
1:45:45
over? Well, he was one of them. But I thought three Hump
1:45:49
Camel had a good one too. Oh, let me come back to that.
1:45:51
Let me come back to that. Let me come back over here first
1:45:55
for Clay and see if a Marastar has college baseball odds. Let me go
1:45:59
to baseball and n C double A and let's go to futures. We do
1:46:06
have College World Series odds at AmeriStar Casino. You can go to the bet
1:46:11
builder and find it today. Wake Forest has the best odds at seven to
1:46:15
one to win the College World Series. It's courtesy of pen Gaming, mayor
1:46:18
Star Casino, Arkansas at number two, it's seven and a half to one,
1:46:23
LSU eight and a half to one. Florida at ten to one.
1:46:27
Getor Matt, there's your Florida bet. Tennessee twelve to one, Clemson eighteen
1:46:31
to one, Oregon State eighteen to one, Vanderbilt eighteen to one. Then
1:46:35
you get off into your TCUs Texas A and M's at twenties. So let
1:46:40
me go back up because probably your field is if you're looking for a value
1:46:44
bet. I don't know that you're going to get much better than LSU at
1:46:47
eight and a half to one if you believe in Tennessee. And how would
1:46:55
you say? His coach's named beaver Tony. Who we talking about Tennessee?
1:47:01
It's a vattillo vattallo. Oh if I don't even remember Battello sounds good at
1:47:11
twelve to one, it's gonna be hard to bet against LSU at eight and
1:47:15
a half to One's gonna be real hard. Now, obviously Wake is gonna
1:47:19
be really good out of the acc at seven to one. So there's some
1:47:21
good value in these teams. I mean, you're not talking anybody that's two
1:47:25
to one, not anybody that's one and a half to one or three to
1:47:28
one. I mean, you've got some pretty good odds out there. So
1:47:30
even if you went with Wake at seven to one, one hundred bucks wins
1:47:32
you seven hundred. Give me LSU at eight and a half to one.
1:47:35
Let's go LSU eight to a half to one. Rhino. He says,
1:47:41
that can't happen. Worst fall from Grace ever, hashtag Hill State. It's
1:47:46
been bad, it has look. I want to see Missisippi State Annalmiss return
1:47:50
to really good baseball this year. It makes the spring better. You people
1:47:55
are more happy when they're better. You know, we went off this magic
1:47:58
carpet ride of state winning and then almost winning the whole thing, and then
1:48:02
we just went Who do we need to blame for selling the souls of the
1:48:05

1:50:53
DX sends you a Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day, d X,
1:50:57
thank you. How about that? How wild as Walgreens and Walmart and Kroger.
1:51:01
Right now, I wonder I want to give people more credit, Like
1:51:08
right now now, five point forty seven, on the day of I want
1:51:11
to give people more credit. I don't think that they're that late, not
1:51:17
heading there at this it's not even last minute. This is beyond last second.
1:51:24
Did you tell your mother Happy Valentine's Oh what? Why would I do
1:51:29
that? Because it's your mother? No, you know what, I feel
1:51:32
like we've had this debate before. No, that's creepy as hell, man,
1:51:35
I tell my mom Happy Valentine's Day. I told my mom Happy Valentine
1:51:40
Valentine's Day. Well, you're a creep. Then it's the first woman in
1:51:44
your life ever. And no, it's a day of it's a day of
1:51:46
love and I mean passionate love, not just you know you love your parents.
1:51:55
It's not for that. Why not just left Kroger and it was dead.
1:52:02
Also, they were out of steaks, Rtie. I bought my mom,
1:52:09
eighty year old mom, some slippers. See now I knew it.
1:52:14
I knew you were gonna use that. Don't do not use rt as a
1:52:18
reference to sell, you know, to try to sell this. Yes,
1:52:26
tiger bait. We spoke of that briefly. The world does suck. World
1:52:30
does suck. So you didn't tell your mom Happy Valentine's or you're not gonna
1:52:35
tell her today? Hey, I hope you had a really good Valentine's No,
1:52:38
I'm not, I'm not. This is a this is a day of
1:52:41
romantic love, and I will I will die on that hill. This isn't
1:52:45
just a day of I love you, love you too, mom, aunt.
1:52:51
Yeah, cousin whatever, mm hmm, you're dying on this hill.
1:52:58
Yeah. So like if you have had a daughter, you wouldn't tell her
1:53:01
Happy Valentine's Day. Well, okay, if we were at one of those,
1:53:08
If I had a daughter and we were at the you had your Valentine's
1:53:13
party? Did you did you go to one of those this year. What's
1:53:15
that? Did your daughter have the Valentine's party they did today at school?
1:53:19
I sent stuff. I didn't get a chance to go, but I sent
1:53:23
stuff. Yes, that's a fun time. So if you were there and
1:53:27
you know, some little kid was like, hey, happy of that one
1:53:30
time's day? Yeah, we'll then not say it back. Artie said he's
1:53:33
got his daughter some plush pajamas. Chu up, Churo, where's truro ban
1:53:38
Churo? Where in the world have you been? The ghost of Churo agrees
1:53:41
with beav on this. So the ghost of Churo agrees with you on this.
1:53:47
See, that's the support you want to have behind you. You want
1:53:51
Churo. Where has he been? That's you know what, that's a great
1:53:57
question because look at this last time he texted August second of last year,
1:54:02
he's just been creeping. Yeah, or maybe that is the ghost of Truau.
1:54:05
I have no idea. I am just perplexed by this. Also say,
1:54:11
let's see, let's go look right quick. Oh, by the way,
1:54:13
I'll get into this. Mark time Traveler from twenty six seventy one returns
1:54:16
to issue more terrifying news about twenty twenty four. I didn't even know we
1:54:19
had a time traveler from the year twenty six to seventy one. Possunk Joe.
1:54:25
I love y'all with a heart. Thank you, Joe, we love
1:54:28
you too. See is that weird? Joe has a genuine love for us.
1:54:32
You should reciprocate that, and you should tell your mother Happy Valentine's Today.
1:54:38
You're not gonna do it, Nope, that's Big L's job. Do
1:54:44
you think he did he win win the day? Oh my god. I
1:54:49
never know if or when he's listening, but to have a feeling he didn't.
1:54:56
You know, sometimes older no, older guys forget. My dad forgot
1:55:00
one year. I actually called him one day, this was several years ago
1:55:02
and say, hey, what'd you get mom for Valentine's Day? He said,
1:55:04
is that today? I said, yeah, it's today. You better
1:55:08
get busy. Yeah, all guys tend to forget this. Let's see here.
1:55:14
Also, what was I looking at? Because I feel like we can
1:55:17
stop talking about Taylor Swift now. Maybe, But new numbers show massive impact
1:55:20
that Taylor Swift had on female support for the Super Bowl. Did you see
1:55:24
some of this? Super Bowl fifty eight attracted a record fifty eight point eight
1:55:28
million female viewers, marking a nine percent increase from last year. Women accounted
1:55:32
for forty seven and a half of the total audience, the highest proportion ever.
1:55:39
And so do you think Taylor Swift helped pull those girls into it?
1:55:44
Yes? I do, do you? I mean that much? So if
1:55:51
she's not involved in the NFL at all last year, next year, do
1:55:54
you think we'll see a decrease? Yep? Yep. Now it wasn't all
1:56:00
on her. I mean, you had fantastic matchup in Las Vegas. All
1:56:04
that business played into it. But yeah, I think the bulk of it
1:56:09
was because of Swifty Chief shooting bowl. Your best friend's mom always told you,
1:56:16
you know who, Happy Valentine's Day. I don't even know where to
1:56:19
go with that. Space ghost man taking his lady to Walmart on Valentine's Day
1:56:29
and he sends some creepy what do you do in space coast? What is
1:56:31
he doing here? Oh my god? Oh he's taken a So what we
1:56:36
have here? He has taken a picture of two people stand outside Walmart.
1:56:45
But he took a picture of them in his side mirror. Pree be very
1:56:54
real quick rhet. Back in my twenties, I tried to break up with
1:56:57
a girl the day before Valentine's Day, and she refused to accept it.
1:57:01
For real, dude, she followed me around my apartment for about ten minutes
1:57:06
before my neighbor came in to see what all the yelling was. Yeah,
1:57:11
that's boy breaking up with someone right at Valentine's Day. That can be just
1:57:15
a little tough and tiger bait. How do they know how many women watched
1:57:20
the Super Bowl? I would have to dig deeper into that. How they
1:57:25
knew that so quickly? Obviously Nilsen rates TV ratings, radio ratings, all
1:57:29
that kind of stuff. So I have to dig a little deeper into that,
1:57:34
because that is a great question. Do you know how they rate that?
1:57:38
I'd have to look at it and see it how they actually pull the
1:57:40
numbers to do that. But they can actually get fairly fairly close with that.
1:57:45
Hey, are you buying Tennessee? What Chris Marler is saying? He
1:57:47
said they're gonna be good, so they're gonna be explosive. Yep, I'm
1:57:51
on board. I told you I was on board with Tennessee this year because
1:57:57
they seem to be the one that kicked off the possible breakaway from the NCAA
1:58:06
with their lawsuit, so I support them. Yeah, and their schedule is
1:58:12
very manageable, very very manageable. They still play Alabama, still play Georgia.
1:58:19
We'll getting more of that. Thanks to Tyler Cleveland, thanks to Kelly
1:58:23
