• 4:19
  SPEAKER_01: So I I pull for the other Bulldogs, you know, whenever they play.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: And I feel like Georgia's kind of had that luck Mississippi State's had in those national championships, you know, getting so close, so close, you know, and then just can't can't get the job done.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: So man, I was so happy for you and all my Georgia friends knowing that y'all did it, y'all reached the top finally, you know.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: After, you know, we've never had one in our whole school history, but it's been what 40 uh going on 42 years without a national championship for Georgia.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: So I felt your pain, man.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: I and you know, when you get when you get there, you get to the top, man.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: There's just not not not a better feeling than that in the world, man.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: Just knowing you you did it.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_01: Like you said, you slayed the dragon, man.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_01: Saban of all teams.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: That's the you gotta beat to be the best, you gotta beat the best.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: And you just did that.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we beat the Rick Flair of college football, that's for sure.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_04: You know, and I'm gonna go.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_03: That gets a woo right there.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_04: It's not uh that's not true true that we haven't had our championships.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_04: I think you know, we've our women's gymnastics team has has done has dominated for a while.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_04: Of course, they don't get the recognition that college football gets, but we're still proud of them.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_04: But uh no, it was uh we've had some real I've watched along with thousands and thousands of other Georgia Bulldog fans when when we've had the best team in the nation several on several occasions and just couldn't finish the job.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_04: And you know, or or back before the college playoffs, we got, you know, we we ended up second, you know, two or three times under Mark Rick.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_04: And and Coach Rick was excellent.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_04: And boy, uh I'm sure he's happy, yeah, that that we won it.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_04: But yeah, it you know, it was just a big I had a feeling that it was gonna be a really tight game.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_04: I knew that.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_04: I I knew that Georgia was way better than they played in the SEC Championship.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_04: Uh and I knew it was gonna be tight, and I and going in, I thought it would be one one or two plays would make the difference.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_04: And uh and so I I was I was really, really happy to see Georgia Georgia rebound after what I thought was a pretty bad call.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_04: Uh that they it would have been easy.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_04: Well I thought that that uh I mean the guy didn't even think it was a pass, and he just kind of nonchalantly went, you know, uh and he's on the field.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_04: Uh he's taught by Sabin to go all out, you know.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_04: But I just thought that I thought if any there was any any time or any chance for Georgia to fold tent and go see, look what happened.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_04: It's just against it, it would have been right then.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_04: But then, you know, here comes Stetson right down the field and boom, and we go back on top, and then uh obviously the pick six at the end, and and which was which was uh just unbelievable.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_04: A great band.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's it.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_04: You know what's crazy is my wife, my wife is from Man Dan, Northfield.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_04: She, you know, it's where I met her, was Man Dan, North Dakota, and she's a huge N N DSU, North Dakota State University.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: And they just won the championship, didn't they?
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so we got you got a double double championship.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, we got a happy household right here with we got the uh NC double 2A the 2A and then the 1A, and and so we've got it covered this year.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: Heck yeah, man, that's awesome.

• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: Uh but man, what what about Stetson, man?
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: That what how can you not like a guy like that, man?
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_01: That's just unbelievable the story that he's had, and I'm so happy for what he did.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: That was that was something else.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_04: You know, he he if you want to look at the epitome of uh of uh of never give up, that's it.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_03: Dreams.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_04: Uh number one, you gotta have a dream.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_04: Number two, you gotta have a plan.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_04: Number three, you gotta go execute that plan, and and you gotta believe in yourself that you can do it.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_04: You know, anybody that's in the music business um has a lot of that uh stick to itiveness uh in them, that lot, that belief and that that faith.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_04: And because it's a faith-driven business that we're in, you know, just because you play an instrument or sing doesn't mean you're a musician or a singer.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_04: It just means you play an instrument, you know.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_04: You go get a degree and you go get a law degree or and you're a lawyer, you go get a degree and and you're a doctor, you go get you, you go get your degree if you're wanna be a plumber, you go get your license and you're a plumber.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_04: Uh it doesn't mean it in the music business.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_04: So it's a big, it's a whole lot of faith and and and belief in yourself, but you gotta start with the dream and you gotta and you gotta back it up and go have a a game plan.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_04: And I'm really proud of that young man.

• 9:05
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_04: We'll see if he comes back next year.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_04: I I you know I pretty much figured uh you win a national championship and it's a four-zone conclusion you come back and you've got the job next year, but uh we shall see.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_04: Georgia is very deep at quarterback.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_04: They got JT Daniels, who is an uh actual pro style quarterback, and then you've got another kid underneath him that is supposed to be the next uh savior, you know.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_04: So yeah, it's crazy.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_04: So we it it's a it's a good problem to have, but at the same time, I I guess you know, I was I was listening to uh Kirby Smart, and Kirby was like, you know what, we'll enjoy this for a couple of days, and then we're back on, we're back at it.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_01: So that's a that's a winner's mentality right there.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, well he got it from the best.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he did, absolutely.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and JT Daniels, you know, at the beginning of the year, everyone, I mean, he was on the highest on the list, everyone thought he was gonna be the guy, and and then it just it didn't didn't go his way.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: And then and then Steps and Stepson, you know, just came in and it's just uh you know, people said the announcer said it's kind of like a Hollywood story, uh, you know, Script couldn't rent rent better than that.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_01: And it's true, man.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: He he he served his due, you know, and and and went to Juco and then come back.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: And and and when he came back and finished it off for the national championship.

  SPEAKER_01: I know everybody is.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, that kid's gonna be a household name from now on out, everyone's gonna remember that.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: And uh it's really cool.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_01: So man, just so excited for you for all you uh Georgia fans out there, man.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's a long time coming.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um hey, I I don't think you're gonna have to wait 40 more more years for another one, man.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: I I think Kirby Smart's got it rolling there.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: And him and yeah.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_04: I think well, and I thought Mark Rick, uh like I said, they just uh for everybody to understand uh you know, us at Georgia, we we uh you know, obviously we understand it, but for everybody to realize how tough it is to do what Nick Saban has done, just go back through the quarterbacks and the players and the coaches that we've had.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_04: Mark Rick with Matthew Stafford.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_04: And I mean, I'm talking some really, really good players in in the NFL that he fell just short.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_04: And it just goes to show you how how much uh just how great Nick Saban this run has been.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_04: It's it's it's unbelievable.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_04: And you got, you know, and and the amount of coaches he's left behind that are still gonna carry forward, and you know, it's just the guy's the best there ever was, and uh and he's just such an amazing, amazing coach, and just yeah, so we at Georgia we realize it.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_04: We understand every time we've seen Alabama win a championship, we just go, how on earth can he do this, you know?
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I used to think he made it, I used to think he made a deal with the devil, but now I I don't think that.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_04: I think I think he's done so well uh by by just the way he raises other coaches and and and mentors them that it all comes to the top, you know, and all the coaches, you know, see that.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm glad you said that about Mark Rick, man.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: He he he's one of the most well-liked coach, you know, of all time.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_01: Just a great guy, just all around, just really cool.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: And and uh he got so close, man.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: So I I know he was thrilled for Kirby that that they finally pulled it off, you know.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: People like when like when Mississippi State won the national championship back in July, I was in uh Omaha for it.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: And uh kind of like Ron Colt, man.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I don't know if you keep up with baseball, college baseball.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_01: Ron Colt, you know, was the godfather of FT baseball and at Mississippi State.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: And uh he was in the stand.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: We couldn't help but think about him when the state finally put uh pushed the door down and got that national championship.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: And I know he was so proud.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: Actually, I saw a post today where today's his birthday.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: And and uh so it's it's it's coaches like that that that you know that set laid the foundation for what for what the future is about to come.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: And and when that finally comes comes to fruition, you win the national championship.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: You can't help but think, think back to all the people that played such a big role in the past, coaches, players, all that sort of stuff, because that's for them too, even though they weren't on the field at the time, you know, they're they're part of it, and it's just uh really cool thing to think about.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_04: Well, yeah, you know, and and uh, you know, I was listening to Kirby talk about it, and and uh you know, he was spot on.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_04: You know, first you gotta just aspire to get to the SEC championship.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_04: When you get there, you just hope you win it, or or you you at least you finish top four, you know, if you're playing another undefeated team, and then you go from there.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_04: You you know, if you can just and if you you get to the point to where you get you just give yourself the opportunity to get to that final four teams.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_04: And if you give yourself enough opportunities, you're gonna you're gonna win.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_04: The odds are you're gonna win some.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_04: And and I think you're right.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_04: I think George's the I think George has found the right the right combination.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_04: We're really, really recruiting well.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I mean, we're in the top three every year in the last four or five years of recruiting, if not number one.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_04: And uh so I think you just keep doing that.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_04: You re you build this, you know.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_04: Nick Saban, uh I'm not saying he's got this or that left, but but you know, he's definitely in the twilight of his career, I believe.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_04: You know, uh so it's a perfect opportunity for you know for somebody with the energy of Kirby Smart to come in there and win.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_04: I I could see us winning two or three of these things over the next 10, 15 years, you know.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_04: And and uh, you know, for us as as Bulldog fans and for you as Mississippi State fans, I'm a big Mississippi State fan also.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_04: I got a buddy of mine named Brian Andling.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_04: He's a Mississippi State nutball.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, he he just eats, sleeps, and breathes it.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_04: That that burgundy and and and I I really like him and I like his passion.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_04: Uh you know, especially for for Mississippi State, and he still loves Mississippi State football, which I think is on the rise too.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_04: I really believe that.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_04: But um for Georgia, I I I think everybody's looking at it, and I think everybody else, I think your Ohio States and your, you know, yeah, I know your Michigan knows it because we just put a mud hole in their butt.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_04: And and I don't I just think, well, I I think they just realized it from the first set of downs when Georgia came around that end and uh and we ran it down their throat the first time, and they just went, uh-oh.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_04: You know, we have we we've run it because you can't substitute speed.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_04: You just can't, and I think I think the SEC uh has speed and they've got it in droves.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_04: And uh you you match that with up front with them big old horses they've got now.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_04: Did you see the size of those lines?
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, do you see you see that number 54 for Georgia?
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_01: Uh that one play he he just dove into the I was like, wow, unbelievable.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that those are some really big guys making some very athletic plays.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_04: And yeah, they are you know it it back in the day, you know, if you had somebody even near that size, they were just there to kind of stuff up a hole or something.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_04: Not anymore, man.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_04: Those big those big guys are taught and coached up very well, and they they really are athletic, man.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_04: Uh Jordan Davis made a couple of plays, and and that guy for Alabama, uh number 31, what a just what a talent.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_04: The guy just was all over the field.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_04: And so uh yeah, yeah, man, I was really I was really impressed by the athleticism on both sides of the ball.

  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, when you when you see defensive players going out like that and diving in the pile, man, they get you fired up, man.

  SPEAKER_04: Had a lot of uh I went to school in in just south of Atlanta at Jonesboro High School, and I got a lot of Riverdale friends down there uh that went to school with me.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_04: And so I got a bunch of folks coming down there, and then my buddy Frankie Golden, who I've written a bunch of songs with, he is from that area, from that Pensacola area.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_04: So he's got a big following down there too.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_04: And he used to play the Florida Bama a lot.

  SPEAKER_04: So invite everybody to come to the website, um, get on, get on uh get on my Facebook and comment on the Georgia Bulldogs being the best team in the country.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_03: That's right.

  SPEAKER_04: You can't, you know, it's it's we're gonna be holding that title for at least another year, you know.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_04: So until next year, until next year we're national champions, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's if it's us and Bama again.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised either.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_04: It wouldn't surprise me.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_04: And uh, but you know, the SEC is so hard to get through that SEC unscathed, as Alabama found out this year.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_04: They were, I think they were a breadth away.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_04: And to be honest, the two best teams played for the national championship.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_04: Make no mistake about it.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_04: They the two best teams did.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_04: And just think, this is how tough the SEC is.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_04: I think they'd have probably put uh Oklahoma State or or or you know uh or Notre Dame in there.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_04: You know, how you know how they have a love affair with Notre Dame.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that I got I got one sentence for Notre Dame.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_04: Get in a dead gum conference or quit whining.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_04: What are the two?
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that overtime game with Auburn, Alabama.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_01: I was so confused.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, what the heck's going on?
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_01: They they changed the rule up rules up on us this year.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_01: Do you notice that?
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, you know, I think it's this is it, you know.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah, the old five five overtime games in college is is is yeah, I think they just went, you know what?
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, these young men, they play, they play hard enough, and they've already extended them a game.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_04: Uh like the pros.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_04: They've already extended pros a a game, and it's like, golly, it's it won't be long before they won't be able to make it through the season if they keep extending the season.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_04: Those kids, those kids take a beating out there, you know.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_04: So yeah, I was I was that was I it was weird because I didn't get to see that game.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_04: Um the end of it.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_04: I was leading over from my dad's from my dad's place.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_04: I'd left my dad and and and they just were starting the first overtime, and I said, I gotta get out of here.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_04: And so then all of a sudden, boom, the score pops up, and I'm just trying to figure in my head how the hell they got to that score.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_04: I was going, how did they get how does how does a team get one point and then four point two?
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_04: What?
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_04: I couldn't get I couldn't figure it out for the life of me and dad.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_04: My father had to explain it to me.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_04: Well, this is what they do now, son.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_04: I was like, oh, okay.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I was watching that, I didn't understand.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, what that's in this is new for a little bit, man.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_04: I was I was thinking, I was really going, did they take points away from them?
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_04: What did they do?
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_04: I it's just yeah, but now that I yeah, but it made sense.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_04: I think it made sense.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_04: It it you know it hate it quickens the game up a little bit.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_04: Uh it you know, because what what was it Mississippi State?
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_04: Who was it that went Ole Miss Mississippi State?
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_04: Who was it went five or six overtimes?
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_01: That was Ole Miss and uh Ole Miss in Arkansas, I think.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_01: Uh when Eli was here when I was in college, they were yeah, it was non-stop back and forth.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, like seven overtimes.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, and then you know, LSU and A and M a few years back, uh, I think it went, I think it broke the record.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_01: I think it was like eight or nine.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was it was insane.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_04: So uh I think that's what they what they find out is we you know because you get that you get to that point, I guess, and it's hard to put the ball in the end zone.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 28:36
