0:38
or Later Sports Show. Me and Coop's gonna dive into a few topics around
0:42
the SEC media days, like comments from the coaches as well. Let's give
0:46
a critique of what we thought about Brent Vndable's keynote speech. We're also gonna
0:50
talk about what Billy Bowman, Danny Stutsman, and Jackson Arnold had to say.
0:55
Also ask the question to answer it is Jackson Arnold gonna be ready to
0:59
come in season. Talk a little bit about recruiting, because of course,
1:02
some news is starting to slowly come down the line, So hit us up
1:06
on the unfair fan line four three zero nine zero one one nine zero six
1:10
and let us not to think the show give Strump's opinions. Maybe one day
1:15
I'm gonna start doing a call in y'all can like, we'll play the messages
1:18
back, but hit us up four three zero nine zero one one nine oh
1:23
and six Coop Happy Wednesday. Man, how you doing doing good? Brother?
1:29
Doing good? Many. I got to give you a little little little
1:32
props. Man, did great job out there in uh the old Dallas,
1:36
Texas with the SEC media days and uh, man, I just man,
1:42
you did, you did great and I'm seeing some of your stuff all over
1:44
everywhere. Man, I appreciate that. Man. It's uh, it was
1:48
very convenient that it was literally up the street, round the corner that I
1:51
could just hop in the car and drive there. Three hour drive getting down
1:55
there. Of course, as everybody knows, that's from OKC area, four
1:57
hours from told some being able to be down there and being the environment,
2:00
it was pretty dope. Man. Shout out to Locked on podcast Network.
2:05
They were the ones that were able to get me in there, after me
2:07
going through multiple avenues and asking multiple people and begging multiple folks to make it
2:14
happen and no one could, and they were able to make it happen.
2:16
So joining locked On Sooners was probably a good blessing in that capacity, and
2:21
it's gonna get us a lot more access and stuff that we can do.
2:23
But it was really cool, man Like, if you've listened to Oh You
2:27
Insider or Sooner Scoop or so Sooners Illustrated, they've all basically talked about how
2:32
massive it is and the in comparison to how what it was with the Big
2:38
Twelve. Right. Big twelve media day last year in Dallas area was typically
2:43
in Dallas area, but they usually have it on the field at Jerry's Circus
2:46
right at the Jerry's World at at and T Stadium, but this one they
2:51
had it in the Omni Downtown. It was a very nice setup. They
2:54
had it all broken off, so it was pretty legit there. Twelve hundred
2:59
plus credentials were given out, which is like more than double than what you
3:04
got from the Big Twelve. And of course we all know this year they
3:07
did everything in Vegas right at Allegiance, which is really weird. They basically
3:13
went to the home of the now dead Pac twelve and at the meeting.
3:17
But I guess it's probably the one place that everybody could easily fly to that's
3:22
not Dallas, so I guess it makes sense. But no, it was
3:29
everything. Like I saw a bunch of folks. I got to shake Josh
3:31
Paid's hand, and these staples, JD. Pequel, You saw the big
3:35
names. Paul Fine bomb walked by me a couple of times. Todd Gurley
3:38
was running around in a baked bean shirt. It was pretty interesting to see
3:43
that because he was part of the he was the celebrity in town to talk
3:46
about that. But overall, man, dang good time. It was definitely
3:52
worth being there. So in the future we'll get us there, we'll do
3:54
more and make more happen. But yeah, so besides that, Coop,
4:00
did you get to check out any of the any of the press conferences or
4:08
whatnot. Yeah, I watched a bunch of them, obviously, Uh,
4:12
you being there live and in person. Uh, you know, hitting us
4:15
up with some good content, but a lot of good stuff caught. Josh
4:18
Heipel, Brent Venables did a great job, you know, Sarkesian did a
4:23
decent job too. You know, I'll give them credit. And it's it's
4:27
July. That's when Texas does good things. So uh, you know,
4:30
gotta gotta say that, you know, i'd like to hear uh, you
4:33
know, Jeff Levy, uh, you know, just giving a lot of
4:35
props out to Brent vnables it. I didn't hear very many shots fired.
4:41
And you know, from a coaching perspective, so that was that that that
4:45
surprises me. You know, there were a couple of coaches who might have
4:49
been stretching the truth, the tiny bits, no no pointing fingers. Brian
4:54
Kelly, uh, because you know, we we we kind of know what
5:00
we're looking at. And so you know when he said the and Jacob I
5:02
think brought it up already here in the chat that you know, he said
5:06
the deepest team. Okay, I mean, sure, why not. Let's
5:11
uh, I'll take your word for it. But if I lost a we've
5:15
lost a Heisman and a couple of wide receivers here recently, and so we
5:17
know what that looks like the next year. And uh, you know,
5:20
I know nes Meyer is going to be a great quarterback, but I mean,
5:24
you lost you know, somebody who could have been potentially the number one
5:28
draft pick. And uh, you know the receiver factory that they've been pumping
5:31
out, you know, Neighbors is one that they're gonna miss too, So
5:35
we'll we'll we'll see what that looks like. But yeah, it was,
5:38
it was great. Got to hear you know, I like some of the
5:41
stuff with Billy Bowman, you know your question of Billy uh and Jackson Dart
5:46
that that conversation. I like to see Billy, you know, giving props
5:49
out to Jada, So you know that was great too. But just a
5:54
lot of good content. Oh yeah, and we'll talk about all of those
5:57
comments and stuff from the players in a moment. The start off with the
6:00
coaches, and that's a question actually popped up here. Jacob popped in the
6:02
comments. What's going on? Hey toe for Hey Lemon, Hey Steve,
6:08
Hey everybody for pulling up as you always do. But Jacob asked his question
6:13
about LSU similar to kind of what you alluded to. You know, how
6:15
can anyone explain how LSU is gonna be good? And why Brian Kelly said
6:19
their team this year is the defense he's had. Isn't their defense awful?
6:23
And they lost a Heisman, quarter QB and two extremely good receivers. That's
6:30
one hundred percent fair point. The only pushback I would give and kind of
6:33
give props to Brian Kelly. He replaced that defensive coordinator who was really bad
6:38
last year. Right, He brought in Blake Baker, who coached at Missouri
6:43
last year when Missouri had a pretty decent defense, And they brought back Corey
6:46
Redman who just landed a freaking five star plus corner and DJ was a picket
6:51
today. Right, So the defensive line coach, they brought in Bo Davis
6:59
from So if there's anything I'm gonna say about the defenses in about a year,
7:04
they're gonna be a problem, right, Bo Davis has already got people
7:08
to commit there that was supposed to go to Texas or whatnot. He's flipping
7:12
people like crazy and bringing people with them. Guess I don't know about this
7:16
year's defense. Their defensive line is really young, so they're gonna have They're
7:20
gonna they got a lot of work to do there. I mean, Harold
7:23
Perkins is still there, but I think Blake Baker's gonna use him a hell
7:27
of a lot different than the way that he was used last year. Yes,
7:30
Now, offensively, I am at the exact same point of trying to
7:33
question, Look, you lost some really good two really good receivers and a
7:38
Heisman Trophy winning quarterback nuss Meyer's probably gonna be solid. I still gotta see
7:43
it, right, we still gotta see it. No different than what I
7:46
would say about Jackson Arnold. We'll get into that in a minute, but
7:48
yeah, but that's what I gotta see it. So they're deeper than what
7:54
they were before. They've got a lot of young players. Next year,
7:59
Yeah, they're going to be a problem this year. We'll see what Blake
8:03
can make happen. Which thing, Yeah, definitely, bo Davis is a
8:07
big pick because you know that that you know, typically when somebody loves Texas,
8:13
they you know, they're usually getting fired. But this was an upgrade
8:16
for LSU and so you know that that's a great pick. I mean,
8:20
pulling over the Missouri d C. I mean, he made a lot of
8:24
noise last year, so that I mean, those are good things. But
8:26
yeah, if you pull in Dominic McKinley, uh, you know that that's
8:31
that's that's one brother, that's one dude who is going to show out.
8:35
And so that would be like us having you know, our defensive line from
8:39
a couple of years back and then just bringing in David Stone. You know,
8:43
that's just not going to do it enough. I mean we've got Stone
8:46
and Jackson mixed in with Dominic Williams. Did you you see you see Coach
8:52
Landers put out that Dominic Williams squat video. I mean, boy side side
8:58
tangent. I think he had two different buildings on each side of the bar.
9:01
Uh bar the bar was on the struggle bus. But I mean,
9:05
you know it takes more. It takes more than one dude. But LSU
9:09
is going to uh, they're gonna look they're gonna look different next year.
9:13
This year, you know, we do get them the last game of the
9:16
season. So if they stay healthy, that's you know, they it's gonna
9:18
be a tough game because they're going to be it's gonna be at their crib.
9:22
It's probably gonna be at night, and they're going to have you know
9:24
who they are at that point is pretty much going to be locked up and
9:28
secure. No, I agree with you a hundred percent there, it's it's
9:31
yeah, yeah, the yeah, We'll just leave it at that. But
9:37
uh, but as you mentioned earlier, the shots fired or none none shots
9:46
fire they came from there was was pretty fascinating, right. You didn't hear
9:50
really any of the coaches anything native Tomorrow. We got one more day,
9:54
so Thursday things could and if you're listening to this on Thursday throughout that day,
9:58
you'll have the other guys. But but it was, it was.
10:01
What was funny to me was there was a lot of crossing in There are
10:05
people that have crossed and worked with or been around either Sarkeesian or Vinibles,
10:13
which I thought was, you know, pretty pretty pretty fascinating in a way.
10:16
And Brian Kelly gave praise to you know, Venables. Kirby Smart talked
10:20
about how Oklahoma's in the right direction and he sees that defensively, they're gonna
10:24
be They're gonna be a problem. Shout out to Kirby. The funny thing
10:30
is is there's a lot of fans We'll say it this way, the fans
10:35
of opposing teams have questions about what Oklahoma's gonna look like. They're the ones
10:41
that think Oklahoma's gonna be super mediocre. But when you start listening to the
10:45
national media talk about Oklahoma, the only concern they have it is a concern.
10:50
It's not a question, it's a concern. It's a schedule because of
10:54
how it's perceived to be grueling, but all of them know Oklahoma is on
11:01
the right trajectory. We still got the questions online, questions at quarterback,
11:07
but that's it. If those, as we have talked about numerous times,
11:11
those show up, Yeah, this season is not gonna be anything that people
11:16
won't expect. I even had a Texas fan jump in the comments today of
11:20
my last video from media days and he said, Hey, I hate to
11:22
say this is a long corn fan, but y'all got it good being able
11:26
to come under the radar. A lot of people are really doubting you in
11:28
a way that they probably shouldn't. I was like, good, a respectable
11:33
fan, totally agree with that. Look at that. No, it's and
11:37
we've gone over the schedule at nauseam. Like the way it's set up.
11:41
Yeah, the last push is going to be it's gonna be grilling to be
11:46
it's gonna be tough, and I think super Cowboys just said in the shot
11:48
like if you make it through that and end up going to the conference championship
11:54
game, then you get thrown in just another one right there. So I
11:58
mean everybody's gonna pencil in joy. But again, it's it's I think that
12:03
Brent Vinnables can use every single bit of this stuff that's that's out there,
12:07
and but you know it's it's there wasn't any trash talking, because I don't
12:11
think anybody else needs a anybody else wants to fire up another team, especially
12:18
when you don't really know what's coming in from, you know, Texas and
12:22
Oklahoma. But you know, the only thing that people really chalked up to
12:28
trash talking was Harold Perkins talking about was it Danny Stutsman and and I don't
12:35
think that was trash talk. I think that he just was He was just
12:39
saying something along the lines of, you know, it's like, I don't
12:41
know who that is. Like, I mean, he's a defender talking about
12:43
another defender. He focuses on his game and that's all. He puts his
12:48
head down and just does his stuff. So he you know, he may
12:52
not know who Danny Stutsman is, just just being honest with you. I'm
12:56
pretty sure that a lot of folks in Louisiana aren't thinking about Oklahoma as much
12:58
as we are. Well, if you think about it, when is he
13:01
had to scheme for Oklahoma yet? Right, we don't play until the last
13:05
game of the season, So I totally understand why he wouldn't know about Dandy
13:13
and why he would say who is that? Because he's a defensive player and
13:16
he's playing and then we were talking about another defensive player, like they're not
13:20
scheming against each other, No, they ain't paying attention to each other,
13:22
right, and and Harrold Perkins, genuinely, what I've heard about him is
13:26
you're the kind of just focuses on football. He doesn't really you know,
13:30
he doesn't do You don't hear him really talking much. He's pretty straightforward and
13:35
just calm with all of it. And so yeah, it felt genuine that
13:39
he probably didn't know, and that's fine. He'll learn on the field whenever
13:43
he hears the name called over and over for tackles and be like, day,
13:46
who's it? This? That? So that's the dude that everybody's been
13:52
nice. We were gonna gut him on our team. Can we get him
13:54
a transfer? But but no, Yeah, like those questions were always fascinating.
13:58
It's especially when it comes to college guys. Because I say it this
14:01
way, and this is kind of my last piece on now, I want
14:03
to talk about some of these quotes that have come down. The line is
14:09
I would be concerned if any of my defensive players, actually any of my
14:15
players were molding their game after somebody that's still in college. I would prefer
14:20
you to watch the pros because if your goal is to go pro, want
14:24
you to play like the guys that got to the one percent, not like
14:26
the dudes that are still in college. Right unless they're your teammate. Right,
14:30
there's a teammate that you're trying to get you're growing under. That's a
14:33
different story. But opposing guys, now focus on the NFL dudes to the
14:37
place you want to go. That way, you can try to you can
14:41
shoot for the star, you know, shoot from the moon, or you
14:43
to miss, you'll land in the stars type deal. Right, all right?
14:46
They got for pulling up as usual, Hit that like button, wipe
14:50
your feet, new to the chance. Subscribe If you're listening to the audio
14:52
version of the show, rate review, give us five stars. You don't
14:56
think we deserve it, just give us five anyway and gifted. So cope,
15:01
it's talk of somebody's coaching statements. Right, So, Jeff Lebby and
15:03
Josh Hipel got the opportunity to talk over the last two days. Leby was
15:07
today Hypel was yet it was yesterday, right before Oklahoma, and it was
15:11
very interesting. You know. Of course, like I said, there's a
15:15
lot of crossing here right, Leby and Hypel played while Venables was here,
15:20
and you know, crossing paths as coaches and staff. At one point they
15:26
were staff, they were co workers in some capacity, and I like,
15:31
how let's talk about Leby first. Levy of course, you know, says
15:35
that you know, he's indebted to Venables for allowing him to come here.
15:39
But the one thing that interests me the most was his statement of he got
15:45
to watch a guy be a first time head coach and build a program.
15:50
So my question for you, Coop, is is that's gonna is that gonna
15:54
be a good way for Leby to try to jumpstart himself there in Mississippi State.
16:00
Yeah, it is. You know, he's going to take that respect
16:03
factor. He needs to keep that lifeline because even though they're playing in the
16:07
same conference right now, you don't want to burn that bridge and go back.
16:11
Levy. I promise you. Levy understands the you know, the turmoil
16:15
that happened between Hypool and you know coach Stoops, and he sees just you
16:21
know, how that could you know, kind of take something away from these
16:26
these guys. I mean, there's very very few times that coaches actually hate
16:29
each other, and and so Levy, you know, we we all know
16:33
that there were a lot of folks, you know, not too sad to
16:37
see Levy go this year. But if Levy wants to reach out and you
16:44
know, ask Brent Vitibles about certain things, he's going to have that available
16:48
still. And you know, it's it's not really becoming of him to go
16:53
in and you know, talk trash about Venables or say something bad about Venables
16:57
or anything like that, because he he gains nothing out of that, and
17:00
you want to be able to just to you know, take take care of
17:03
those relationships because you never know when uh SEC turns out coaches pretty frequently,
17:11
and you know, I think that Teddy brought that up and rolled up everybody's
17:15
everybody's feathers over there in Louisiana and across the SEC. But you know,
17:18
there's one coach that has an SEC championship, and that's Kirby Smart. And
17:22
outside of Kirby Smart, I think Kirby and Mark Stoups are the you know,
17:26
only people with four years or plus you know experience. So Levy may
17:32
need to find himself another job at some point and he could go on to
17:36
Mississippi State blow that thing up and it could be it could be terrific.
17:40
But if he does need something and he needs, you know, a spot
17:45
to come and really hang out, then then that's going to be something that
17:49
you burgs. You don't want to burn him. No, that's true.
17:53
And you you see that because the one thing is as mentioned in the past,
18:00
is you know that, uh that coaching school of Rehabilitation and Nick Sable
18:04
was running, a lot of these coaches recognized that if you lose your job,
18:08
you may you may holle at somebody. Yeah right, so yeah,
18:12
that's Levy ain't got too many other folks he can go holler at right now,
18:17
you know, everybody else in his you know kind of coaching tree is
18:21
you know that those those leaves are withering so or they just straight dead.
18:26
And you got to look at Shane Beemer. You know, I'd say that
18:29
he let it off the whole the whole week with you know, just massive
18:32
amount of praise for Oklahoma. So just uh, you want to be careful
18:37
with how you say that because now that you can have four hundred and seventy
18:41
three coaches on your staff or analyst or whatever. You know, he may
18:45
need to come back. And also, you know, he may want to
18:48
ask Brent Vinibles about, you know something one of the opponents. If we
18:52
just get done with Auburn and they're going to go play Auburn, he might
18:56
reach out and say, hey, that did that give you guys fits?
18:59
Like how how did you guys look at that? How'd you guys overcome that?
19:00
And Venables is going to be a guy who's going to be able to
19:04
you know, I think he takes that cost still, I know I agree
19:07
with you on that. He definitely would and I think Hypel would have.
19:10
He would for Hypel as well. And so of course Hypel talked about working
19:14
with Brin Vinibles and it's funny. The biggest thing that he was kind of
19:18
into was talking about all of the media members that now have come back in
19:23
his face because he hasn't seen the Oklahoma media in years, right, Yeah,
19:27
since he's been God's been with at least ten years, and so,
19:30
you know, getting to reconnect with some of them and everything. But I
19:34
really jumped on and gravitated today Kirby smart quote right when he's talking about Brin
19:40
Vinibles is getting the defense on point. And there's a very good chance that
19:45
you know that Oklahoma's defense is going to be really good, if not now,
19:48
but definitely in time. I ain't a lot. That's pretty freaking legit
19:56
that the top defensive guy in the country is saying that about Venom. So
20:02
if if you need it to be more bullish, ladies and gentlemen, that
20:04
is the read. That's why your boy here's hardcore about that. That's why
20:08
your boy here has been talking it up because the anticipation is even though I
20:15
don't know if y'all sin it, I need to actually upload the videos of
20:18
all the interviews I did and the responses I got from folks. That'll happen
20:22
probably tonight, be loaded up for some time tomorrow. But yeah, Venables
20:29
gave me like a five minute lecture on my question and I had to I
20:34
apologize to all of the insiders and they laughed at me. He's like,
20:37
dog, you're good. Ain't nothing you could do about that. But yeah,
20:41
that's definitely something you don't do. You don't have Brent Vinables compare players.
20:42
You don't have compare eras you don't have him compare you know, anything
20:48
like that, anything on paper, because he's gonna tell you about how they're
20:51
gonna have to work for it, and he goes on a tangent. You
20:52
know, we all know that Vinables has a tendency of going but I'm gonna
20:56
be honest as we talk about him now. I thought he was very good
21:00
in his presser, right. I know the Texas fans are very excited about
21:04
Sark and the way that he presented himself as well. And I feel like
21:07
both of them did a really good job for walking into the sec and being
21:11
able to handle the questions because again someone mentioned here in the comments, literally
21:17
the question was you're gonna be sec rating. It's like we here now,
21:21
I hope so at this point, right, am I crazy? But why
21:23
are we getting this question now so much? Because because that's the thing.
21:29
Vinables got it, and every coach after before and after Venables and Sart got
21:33
the same question. Do you think Oklahoma and Texas gonna be ready coming into
21:37
the conference? What are we? What do we? What do we?
21:41
Why are we bringing this? Why are we attacking that? That? In
21:44
horns Down, I was really getting tired of horns down. I'm gonna be
21:47
honest, like it was getting old, Like come on, now it is
21:51
well and Saban started off the whole week we're talking about Oklahoma, and I'll
21:56
take it as a semi shot at Lincoln Riley because you know, he said,
22:02
you know, they've always had these great prolific offenses, but the defense
22:06
wasn't there. And now that's that's hitting in the right direction too. And
22:10
if anybody can say that, I mean, he had Kyler Murray and the
22:11
Sooners down twenty eight to nothing, so I mean, you know, he
22:15
he recognizes that. So but it is it is an emphasis. It is
22:21
something that that Venables has been working on since he arrived on campus. Was
22:26
getting the he said it himself, they were the right people on the bus
22:30
and in the right seats, and that, you know, that goes from
22:33
you know, having a guy like David Aguebu who you know probably should have
22:36
been playing defensive end instead outside linebacker, Jonah Llalu the same type of situation,
22:41
you know, outside linebacker, then he goes into the defensive tackle.
22:45
So you know, I hope that I hope that the fans, you know,
22:49
listen to Garby Smart and Nick Saban when we realized that, Like listen,
22:55
ou is pointing in the right direction. And year three, I think
22:57
this is one of the big things that you've been bullish on, Jay is.
23:00
Year three is going to be something special because you now have guys who
23:06
can play freely and you saw jump from Stutsman last year. Guys should have
23:10
won the buckuts. But you don't get I mean, you got it.
23:14
You gotta be extraordinary to go from you are on one of the worst defenses
23:18
in college football to winning the buckets the next year. I mean, you
23:22
that defense better like go from the bottom to the top, or you gotta
23:26
have like four hundred and fifty tackles because that that's just gonna be a hard
23:30
piece in the optics is you know, let's see it again. But Stutsman
23:33
now has that platform to kind of take off on and with a you know,
23:37
I'm being a big baseball guy. It's strength up the middle and it
23:42
is absolute, absolute up the middle. Is you know you Dominic Williams,
23:48
DJ Terry uh, you know Stutsman, Kip Lewis, Kannick and you know
23:55
all the way to Bowman, RSJ and Bowen that that that is going to
23:59
be the strength of your defense right there. Yeah. And the good thing
24:03
is is, you know, I talked about it one of my videos with
24:06
Phil Steele. He has our linebacker and our secondary as the number two linebacker
24:11
group and the number two secondary group in the country, which makes us number
24:15
one in the SEC. And all we got to do is make sure that
24:17
defensive line shows out, which we expected. You know, we're still growing,
24:22
still learning, but I do have the same I do believe that we'll
24:26
that defensive line is going to definitely surprise a lot of people. We won't
24:30
see a lot of max protect we'll see a lot of three hundred pounders,
24:33
but I think we can we can get some of those around. But the
24:36
interesting thing too, was with the excitement of being at the SEC media days
24:42
and having both teams there and everyone asking the same questions over and over,
24:47
at a certain point, the dumbest question I heard was, I'm not sure
24:52
who it was. I need to go back and rewatch the video so I
24:53
can find the name, just so I can call them out specifically. At
24:56
some point. We'll do that a little bit later, but before I jump
25:00
into what was said, they got for pulling up as usual, hit the
25:03
like button, wipe your feet. New to the chund subscribe if you're listening
25:07
to the radio Version Rate Review. Give us five stars, jen Z,
25:11
we deserve it. Give us five anyway and gifted. Somebody from the media
25:15
Coop asked this question. They asked Brent Vnables about recruiting against Texas A and
25:22
m Arkansas now that they're in the SEC, now that we're in the SEC
25:26
and Louisiana Lu's hit Coop cool. Now I heard it. I was gonna
25:34
tweet it out, but I was like, I'm not. I'm not.
25:38
Just as y'all know, I'm a fan who got lucky enough to get a
25:42
credential. I am not a reporter, so I don't need to report.
25:45
I've reported on the funny stuff, especially when Kirby Smart was taking shot to
25:48
Nick Saban, who was literally across the room looking at him, when he
25:52
said, Hey, I got in here with a credential. I tell you
25:55
know, I walked in. I did need a credential, and then he
25:56
looked over it. Uh, Nick Saban. Nick Saban turned and around and
26:00
just looked at him. He started smiling. I was I was talking about
26:03
the funny stuff that was happening and then drink saying the really weird thing about
26:07
S T I S. But we'll talk about that just a second. But
26:11
no, they asked him about recruiting against Arkansas and Texas, A and M
26:15
and L s U. Now we're in then cc bruh. Did he not
26:18
realize that we've been getting national players for years? It's I mean, who
26:26
where where two of the top three players in Arkansas? Where they go?
26:32
Oh? Oklahoma? Okay, okay, all right, Dominic Williams. I'm
26:38
pretty sure that last visit was in L. S U. Yep yep,
26:42
yep, yep, yep, ye ye ye yep. And shout out to
26:45
coach Landers and and and and uh and dom and the family. I mean,
26:49
listen, they came here because Todd Bates and because the minds on the
26:53
defensive side. So yeah, I mean, when people do your research,
26:59
you know, listen, if you're in truth. I saw your comment in
27:03
here. I love you, brother, but man, when I throw bows
27:07
at Texas, it's mostly at your your content people who are absolute fluff,
27:11
you know, head in the sand guys. And I don't understand, you
27:15
know, And I'm not going to throw any large individuals under the bus right
27:18
now, because the bus's got to drive other places. But you know,
27:22
they're some of these guys are just out there and they can report on their
27:26
own team, but they don't. They don't look at anything else. They
27:30
don't look anywhere else at all. And so for you to come out here,
27:33
I mean, Oklahoma and Texas for that matter, has recruited the whole
27:37
damn country for years, for years. Texas doesn't end up in the top
27:42
ten almost every single year because Texas is just so full of talent, which
27:47
it is, it's the biggest one. But Oklahoma has Listen, we ain't
27:52
fielding eighty five okies. Listen, if we want a land run, let's
27:57
get eighty five okies. But we wanted we hit the best of the best
28:00
from a lot of different places. I just right. I mean it's been
28:06
it for the year. I mean for years and years and years. And
28:07
that is everybody. That is Lincoln Riley, that is Brent Vinnables, that
28:11
is Bob Stoops. So do your homework, chief, and you know,
28:17
go through take a little look. So and said, is that now in
28:21
California? Yeah, so yeah, yeah, well yeah, And the guy
28:25
in California said, you can't recruit to Oklahoma get national talent. I mean,
28:27
we've got three straight top ten classes. So look, my whole thing
28:32
with it is this. It frightening as you know, you know, you
28:34
know, you to homie you come in here. And I've said it before,
28:37
Texas has a reason to be bullish about their squad as well. They're
28:41
returning all their offensive linemen and the starting quarterback that's been there three years underneath
28:44
Sarkisian, which is a great thing for sark to have a guy that's been
28:48
around that long, right three years in you have the same dude. That's
28:52
something to be bullish about. So I have no issue with Texas fans and
28:56
Texas being bullish about their team. You better be right national media wise,
29:03
when you're supposed to look at the big picture, they're gonna be bullish because
29:07
of the offensive line, the quarterback. My thing has always been about,
29:10
you know, with us, that's what they're saying, Oh, that's what
29:11
the weak point for Oklahoma, But they're not looking at the thing that the
29:15
SEC is infamous for his defense. It's funny. I did a few hits
29:18
over the last few days and for those that you know, don't know the
29:22
termina terminology the uninitiated. I did some radio spots. I talked on the
29:27
radio, a couple of radio shows, a couple of YouTube channels, and
29:30
I was on the news station in Montgomery this morning talking, oh you.
29:37
I'll make sure to drop that in the comments so y'all can check it out.
29:40
It was pretty good, little fun segment. We talked to OU Texas.
29:42
We talked, oh you coming to SEC, why we're prepared, offense,
29:47
defense, et cetera, so on and so forth. But what was
29:56
not really looked at in the commonversation around OU. And that's why his question
30:02
to me was so darn dumb. It's people not realizing that we have done
30:07
the national recruiting thing for a very long time. We have a very high
30:12
blue chip ratio. Right, So the thought that things were gonna be just
30:22
so tough for Oklahoma and Texas coming into the SEC as if the only schools
30:29
that's out recruited them has been Alabama and Georgia occasionally LSU randomly with Texas,
30:36
A and M, but ain't a single team else in the SEC has out
30:41
recruited Oklahoma and Texas outside of those, right, Oklahoma Texas would be top
30:47
five every year in the SEC and recruiting. That's that's factual. That's not
30:52
even hyperbole. That's not no bs. You don't have to factual. You
31:00
don't have to look through the roster. I mean, you got Florida,
31:03
Indiana, Las Vegas, Maryland. You know, there's some Texas, there's
31:07
California, Michigan, California. So I mean that is on starting with she
31:15
number one endings. Yeah, I mean that's the top like ten to fifteen
31:19
guys on the roster that I just pulled up. So it's listen, do
31:23
your homework, buddy, and as soon as you're done, we'll let you
31:27
come in hang out with the adults. Yeah. That'st thing that bothered me
31:30
so much was like, guys, guys, just do just a ounce of
31:34
it, an ounce of the research to understand where Oklahoma and where where Texas
31:42
is set. And so with that, when I'm talking about how Texas should
31:48
be bullish and Oklahoma while I'm bullish because of our defense in the SEC.
31:52
When I did those hits for the Auburn folks, very fascinating. He had
31:56
a conversation, cool, do you know how many three thousand yard pastors they've
32:00
had in Auburn history. I'm gonna go with zero very close. They've had
32:12
two. Who did Cam go over? Nope, And I was gonna say
32:15
he had like twenty eight hundred twenty nine hundred because he also had like fifteen
32:19
hundre ye Russian rushing yards, right, he ran for another fifteen hundred yards.
32:22
They've had two in history. I was cheating. I was sitting around
32:25
the table with Auburn media guys. They were talking about that, you know,
32:30
they're talking about with Hugh Freeze and their gold with paid thorn to get
32:32
him those yards and everything. They said, we gotta get to three thousand
32:35
yard pastor blah blah blah. And I'm like, oh, man, I
32:37
say, man, this is a crazy perspective in just hearing this in comparison
32:40
to us now, Like, really, why you say that. I'm like,
32:45
I don't think we've had a year where we didn't have We probably had
32:47
maybe two years in the last twenty years where we didn't have a three thousand
32:52
yard passer and that's just probably me guesstimate on an injury. Potentially somewhere eight
32:58
thousand yard Russians. We had easy with two thousand yard rushers and I think
33:01
Sam Bradford had four thousand yards eight year two passing. No, Like,
33:07
man, I bet that was fun. I bet that was a good time
33:12
to watch. I was like, yeah, it was. It was fun
33:14
football. It was a great time in twenty ten and twenty thirteen or the
33:19
two seasons that Auburn had three thousand yards passing. Ain't that wild to just
33:27
think about that? Right? Not really, because I mean I still remember
33:30
the days of Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown, you know, those where you
33:35
got those those that's where Auburn really had made their juice was a stubborn defense,
33:40
you know, a quarterback who made plays when he had to, and
33:44
then a running game that was gonna light you up. And so but and
33:47
you know it's not too it's not doesn't blow my mind that it was.
33:51
Jeane Chiswick and Gus Malzan were the two coaches that were there when they had
33:53
those three thousand yard passing. So but yeah, I mean you got to
33:58
go back to the quarterback carousel of Cody Thomas, Trevor Knight, Blake Bell.
34:05
I'm pretty sure that some folks from the stands got to play quarterback that
34:07
year. But I mean that might be it, or maybe the Boumart the
34:12
Beaumart year mayai the only ones. I'd have to go back and look,
34:16
but yeah, I mean just to ou fans would lose their ever loving minds
34:21
if we threw out a year where it was like twenty eight hundred yards yep,
34:28
And that's that was the point was. It's like we you see,
34:30
that was the eight and four years. So yes, I'm pulling up five
34:37
right now because I'm actually now curious. Baumart threw for two thousand yards that
34:40
year, you know five. That was a rough That was a rough year.
34:45
That was six. Pauled through for twenty six hundred yards, so he
34:49
didn't hit the three thousand mark. And then we got back to it with
34:52
Sam Bradford the next year. But pt came in, you know the year,
34:55
you know that year and did what he does best. He stepped up
35:00
up to the tipped up to the match. But he also had Adrian Peterson
35:02
run the ball for him, but rage Adrian got hurt. So it was
35:06
wild years. Just the fact that three thousand is like, I mean,
35:10
Sam threw for forty seven hundred yards in his Heisman year and we had Chris
35:14
Brown and DeMarco Murray both run four thousand yards. Yeah, gosh, that
35:19
O eight team should have done so much better. So many teams, so
35:22
many teams that we had. That was anyway, if you ever want to
35:28
start a running back returning kicks, just remember, just remember, Oh my
35:35
gosh. Anyway, thank God for pulling up. Hit that like button.
35:37
New to the channel. Subscribe if you're listening to the audio version of Rate
35:40
Review. Give us five stars. All right, Coop, let's talk a
35:45
little recruiting right as everybody knows. You see here in the chat TOEFERD dropped
35:51
the bomb for us that populated not too long ago, and I dropped it
35:53
also in the discord. We just got a crystal ball for Floyd Bucard,
35:58
the defensive tackle, the composite three star out of Miami. He's probably one
36:04
of the more upside defensive linemen. And he's actually someone that Coop had a
36:10
conversation with. So Coop, let's talk about that conversation you had that as
36:16
a Rivals four star, he considered a top twenty defensive tackle if it's a
36:20
lineman in the country. The Rivals three star overall, you know, but
36:23
he comes in at six two and a half six three three fifteen like today,
36:28
he's gonna walk in it over three hundred and he's from Canada. Coop,
36:34
you had this man on a call with you while he's at the airport.
36:37
He said, Hey, man, I'm gonna call you right now.
36:37
Let's talk about it. Now, talk to me about that interview. I
36:42
mean, but Carter's a great kid. Uh. This guy wants to build
36:45
a legacy, and that is the uh. I mean, that's the number
36:50
one thing. If you watch the interview, he wasn't as glowing about Oklahoma.
36:54
And just to be honest with you, I mean, just when I'm
36:58
talking to some of these these guys, like I'm not I'm not pimping Oklahoma,
37:02
Like I really do want to find out a little bit more about them
37:05
now if I feel like they're going to be a big Oklahoma lean, you
37:07
know, that helps out. But dude didn't even realize I was an Oklahoma
37:12
guy until we got off the interview. And so so that was, you
37:16
know, that was something there. He is committing on the twentieth, which
37:20
is is that Saturday or Sunday? Saturday? It's Saturday, so it is
37:23
Saturday. If I find a time, maybe we may go live. If
37:27
I'm around, we may go live for that would I got nothing Saturday?
37:31
This is hot. When it's this hot, outsider to try to stay inside.
37:35
Absolutely, But but no, he is You look at the offer list.
37:39
Don't look at the stars on this cat. You know, I think
37:42
his Twitter says ten star. He you know, he calls himself a ten
37:45
star. He is a Haitian background out of Canada, you know, was
37:50
playing hockey and soccer and then somebody, you know, his cousin got him
37:53
to go and start to play football, and so I think his cousin did
37:59
it right. And so, uh, this is a kid who I've been
38:02
pretty pretty calm about his ending up at Oklahoma because I thought that because of
38:13
him wanting to take care of his family and wanting to be there, I
38:15
thought the nil piece was going to be pretty important for him. But you
38:19
look at his offer list. I mean, kids got like forty some odd
38:21
offers. Everybody who was anybody wanted him at you know, once time last
38:25
week it was ou USC for some reason, Alabama and Miami, and so
38:32
he's down in Miami and you don't typically pull central Miami kids outside of Miami.
38:39
They typically stay home so it is going to uh if he does pull
38:45
the trigger and calls on oh you on Saturday. This is this is a
38:51
don't look at the stars on this guy. This is one of those guys
38:52
that in you know, in one to two years you're gonna see him rotating
38:57
in and you're gonna be like, oh yeah, totally forgot about that guy.
38:59
And we've got a younger cores already. So you bring in Coomore and
39:04
more and Floyd Card on the inside, you know, you add them to
39:07
David Stone, Jamie Jackson. I'm hoping Dominic Williams has a year to where
39:13
he is a top fifteen pick, but I mean he is a junior,
39:15
so he does have another year. But we've got a young interior. So
39:19
that is a that's a crew that you're going to want to continue to stack
39:22
talent at because you need six guys in the SEC as Keith Holcombe Obama guy
39:28
in here, you know is probably gonn attest to that is you don't want
39:31
to roll out there with three or four defensive tackles that you can put on
39:35
the field. You want every single one of those guys to see game time.
39:39
One hundred percent agree, and so looking at his offer list. You
39:44
said it spot on. That's the one thing if you've watched any of my
39:47
recruiting videos, which I probably drop another one on your card very soon and
39:51
talk about. But that's the one thing that I preach heavily on. Right,
39:53
it's go look and see who offered the keyd regardless of how many stars
40:00
they have, who is offering the kid. And when we look at this,
40:05
you've got Bama of course, Oklahoma, like you said, USC Miami,
40:08
but on this list also teams that are really good on defensive line.
40:14
Cincinnati will give them a little props. Florida State, Georgia is on this
40:20
list, LSU, Louisville, Missouri, O Misssissippi State, Oregon's on the
40:27
list. And we know that organ has been doing in recruiting right right,
40:30
I mean they're wearing out that Apple pay brad brah brah bruh. Our guy
40:38
Phil Knight said, look, he's it's funny because Curry Smart even said it
40:43
in his opening monologue that he hung out with Phil Knight and his wife Penny,
40:47
and he said that he loved to get some of the nil that Dan
40:52
Laming's getting and started cracking up because you know. Of course Landing is one
40:54
of is his guy former defensive coordinator. But no, this list is long
41:00
with people. Auburn's on the list, Arkansas, Heck, Vanderbilt's on here
41:04
too, Lank everybody's anybody, Penn State, South Carolina, everybody's anybody that
41:09
light defensive linement is on this list. For got to be a three star?
41:14
Why is everybody after him? That's the question you should ask yourself.
41:21
Right, Sometimes the offer list gets people's stars bumped up. But for Floyd,
41:29
he hasn't been playing but what two years? And so he hadn't been
41:36
playing for two years. And he's from Canada. He played hockey, so
41:39
you know he's physical, like you said, he he's just not known yet.
41:46
That's it. That's the only reason why he's a consensus a composite three
41:51
star. Ain't got nothing to do with true ability because all these schools see
41:58
the high upside. Now if he comes in there with the dog, he's
42:00
gonna be a monster trap. What a do? I appreciate it? My
42:08
man? I'm trying to, man, were trying to We're trying to We're
42:10
trying to get there, doll. It's all we trying to do. I
42:13
need to get you on the live soon, so you know, keep your
42:16
your options open. In the next two weeks, we're gonna make something happen
42:20
to promise trap. We're gonna get you own he gonna get you own her.
42:22
But no, it's it's always that cool. Like you said, you
42:28
gotta pay attention to that offer list, and from there you've got what four,
42:34
We got about three other dudes that we're really looking at. You go
42:36
over and cross you got for Susie, which is at the end of August.
42:38
Honestly, there's no point in beating that dead horse right now until probably
42:43
close to the commitment time. I think probably the week before in August,
42:45
when things seem like we may be wrapping up, we can talk about them.
42:50
But you got kid pe Check on the edge. And then you've got
42:55
Christian Jones at linebacker up there in Nebraska, so you get the North Dakota
42:59
guy Nebraska got. It's really left man, and that's probably the last portions
43:06
of the list. This would leave us. Honestly, this will give us
43:08
a lot bigger class than I expected. I think that puts us right now.
43:13
We're at twenty one. If we were to lay in all four of
43:15
those that's a twenty six person class. Coop. I didn't think we were
43:20
going to go that big. And you know, I still say that there
43:22
is there's still and I hate saying this out loud, there's still a safety
43:30
out there that if he shows up on campus, things will get a little
43:36
exciting. Oh boy, I don't expect it still because it just it.
43:40
It's one of those deals to where listen, it's just you put that away.
43:45
If that happens, you know, people's heads are are gonna blow up.
43:47
But yeah, I mean that the class was always going to be around
43:52
the twenty three twenty five and this is the like we live now. I
43:57
mean, you see Alabama doing it, you know, you've seen you see
44:00
Georgia start doing it. To where you've got you've got to completely roll some
44:05
of those you know, guys out and being process is not something that Brent
44:09
Vivennables wants to be doing. But these kids nowadays, they know that they
44:15
can go and they can make money. And I think that we said it
44:17
actually in the Bocard interview when I asked him about, you know, playing
44:21
in the SEC, would playing in the SEC was that a big part of
44:23
or which conference was that a part of your decision. He said, no,
44:28
if you're a baller like, people are going to find you, which
44:30
I agree with. And now with the twelve team playoff, you get some
44:34
national attention regardless. So I mean, you look at Boise State, Boys
44:37
State kind of you know, disappeared for a few years. Now, you
44:40
know, there's a lot of people saying that they're going to, you know,
44:43
potentially be one of those teams that are going to sneak in from the
44:45
group of five. So you don't you don't want to see any processing like
44:51
that. You want to see guys who want to be here, and you
44:53
need here it is everybody. You need competitive depth in the sec to keep
44:59
it going. So you're gonna be rotating folks in and out, and you're
45:01
gonna want to see that. Yeah, yeah, thanks Coop for doing that.
45:05
You're gonna have me having to go to the bathroom the next couple of
45:07
minutes and beefitable to hit me that way too. It was kind of funny,
45:09
you know, whenever I was when he answered my question for five minutes,
45:13
he actually threw in a whole bunch of competitive deaths and I was just
45:15
like, dang man, my bad y'all. I didn't mean to do that
45:20
to y'all, but no, man, it's we're winding down on the recruiting
45:23
looks like which I honestly, I'm kind of excited that we'll get to the
45:28
point that once the season starts, we'll be very light on the recruiting portion
45:32
of it for the most part. We may even have our full class,
45:35
may still, like you said, go after you know, a particular set
45:37
of players that we still have interest in. May try to flip a few
45:40
guys that we still have communication with the whatnot. But yeah, we may
45:46
be wrapped up August. This will be the earliest. I don't think twenty
45:50
six is gonna be like that now that we know that going forward, we
45:52
know the rules is gonna be eighty. You know, it's gonna be whatever
45:57
the scholarship number is. We don't know what that number anymore yet because that's
46:00
gonna probably go up going into next season, but we know that you can
46:04
recruit up to that number. They're not gonna limit the class sizes. So
46:08
next year we probably will have like five recruits five commits going into like April,
46:17
and I think everybody's gonna lose their collective minds back like they did the
46:22
first two years. Well, don't we have guys committing? Because we do
46:25
our commitments in June, July, and August. That is when we like
46:30
to get everybody going. We like to get the visits out, let them
46:32
get their visits, have their fun, enjoy their process, and then hopefully
46:37
by they commit before their senior season. But the good thing is we got
46:40
our quarterback, which is the only thing that matters. So I am leaning
46:46
heavy. Now we've started, we start to see our first crystal ball with
46:50
Tom Lloyd. I'm sensing that we're probably gonna see I'm leaning towards a commitment
46:58
of Floyd to Oklahoma on Saturday. Now, does he have a time.
47:06
I don't think so. I might have to hit him out. I go,
47:07
look, I'm gonna go dig into his deal. You may hit him
47:10
up and post him. He is your scheduled for the twentieth. He does
47:15
not have an exact time. I wonder if he's gonna go on any stations.
47:17
Look at his social media's really quickly, let's see hey, also real
47:24
quick while we're looking that up, you know, sooner, family guys,
47:29
anybody, we you know, we always want to just give you guys some
47:34
you know, give you some love. Sec sooner, life, sooner.
47:37
Kyle, one of my boys here and Broken Arrow had had to let the
47:40
puppy down today, so I want to give him shout out to him.
47:44
You know, our thoughts are, our prayers are with you, brother man.
47:46
I hate that for anybody man. So I mean, if you guys
47:52
got news like that and you just need some support, you want to take
47:53
your head and mind off everything, you know, check out one of our
47:58
videos, Watch me stumble around, Watch Jay's Internet Freeze. It's always a
48:01
good time. Yeah, we always have phone with that right. Thanks for
48:05
bringing up all of my question. I appreciate you clown in my internet interwe
48:09
I think it's gonna get better, though I've heard that things are supposed to
48:12
be getting better on that side, so I'm not no longer complaining, but
48:15
I'll say this, I'm stoked. All right, We're gonna probably wrap this.
48:20
We're gonna wrap his bad boy up, put a bowl on it a
48:22
little early. Let everybody enjoy the rest of their evening. Final thoughts,
48:29
Coop will pass to you, mamam. Yeah, Jackson, Arnold, Billy
48:36
Bowman, Danny Stutsman. Oh yeah, we got to talk about players.
48:37
Didn't even get to that point, my bay. We started tangentalk a guy
48:40
about talking about their interviews. No, it's it's all good. Like you
48:45
know, these guys, I love I love our players, and I don't
48:51
know if you guys see DJ young gal a his quote about going to the
48:54
ACC media days and he turned it down because he said he wanted he wanted
49:00
the players that were on the team last year to go and represent the university.
49:04
Like shout out to DJ. I mean that man has had a he's
49:07
had a ride with his career. But yeah, Jackson going out there,
49:14
you know, it cannot hurt that he's hanging out with those boys, with
49:16
Stutsman, with Bowman, those were just those are awesome, awesome, you
49:22
know times for him to be able to be around them, to see those
49:24
things, because Jackson does have a lot of weight on his shoulders. Our
49:30
our clown show that out West that you know was going off on OU after
49:35
Fine Bomb dropped a bomb on him, you know said, you know OU's
49:37
pushed all their chips in with Jackson Ardel Well, I mean, yeah,
49:42
we have, we have. You know, if anybody's ever asked, like,
49:45
did Dylan Gabriel leave because he didn't want to be here anymore? Now,
49:50
Dylan Gabriel left because he didn't get an NFL grade that he wanted and
49:53
he could make more money playing somewhere else. And apparently Oregon has a few
49:58
dollars to spend, so they needed a quarterback to step in right then and
50:02
there. And that's just basically it. He was told you were going to
50:07
have to compete for the quarterback job if you stick around, and you go
50:10
back to some of the you know, some of the mop up duty and
50:13
just some of the throws that you've seen Jackson Arnold make, like that boy
50:16
has talent. So my full on expectation is to see Jackson Arnold play within
50:22
himself. I think the Arizona game, they just said, Jackson, go
50:25
out there and do it. And you know, our defense, you know,
50:29
paid for it. You didn't see complimentary football in that bowl game because
50:32
we turned the ball over six times. So I think Jackson knows that he
50:37
can show up this year and play within himself. He's got an arsenal of
50:40
weapons all the way around him and a defense who is going to be able
50:45
to you know, give him the ball back. So I mean, I'm
50:49
really really excited about that listening to Billy Bowman out there talking Stutsman trolling the
50:54
Texas guys and truth he doesn't have a tattoo on it. And so when
51:00
when mister Ketchum brings that up, I wanted to put him in his place,
51:02
even though he's doing it for a reaction. But you know, fourth
51:06
wall break is out of a fourth wall break, So it's like, yeah,
51:08
sixteen walls, sixteenth walls. Yeah, so great Deadpool reference before and
51:14
during the show. Love it. But you know, this is uh,
51:17
this is great to see Jackson out there. I mean he gets to go
51:22
do his first big press conference in his hometown essentially, you know. So
51:27
that's that's that's always a great piece too. But I liked a lot of
51:30
the players, what I saw from a lot of the players, not just
51:32
from Oklahoma, just from across the board. These guys know that. I
51:37
mean, you can walk in as part of the SEC during SEC media days
51:42
and you know it, it just means more like there's eyes upon eyes upon
51:47
eyes there and so you just seeing the cameras and the people stacked up you
51:52
know behind you know, any anybody speaking that was that's a pretty cool sight.
51:55
And I think Jackson's gonna be game. I'll tell you what, You'll
51:59
not think Jackson I was gonna be fine. I mean, his accolades are
52:04
not even what I need to talk about. We saw it, like you
52:06
said in the Arizona game. We saw the potential. We saw what he
52:09
can do. The bigger thing for him was he just needed to execute on
52:14
it right, and you know he made his early mistake. Then he you
52:19
know, changed from that. It was like you saw I forgot who mentioned
52:22
this at any Staples. I think Andy Staples actually talked about this with Teddy
52:27
and them, but he said that you saw true freshman quarterback play. Then
52:30
you saw somebody You're like, Okay, I see the potential now, but
52:34
then you saw true freshman come back out those that stuff should probably start subsiding,
52:39
especially because he's being forged in fire with the way that Brent Vnables plays
52:44
defense. I was gonna ask Brent about that about the Kevin Wilson comment when
52:50
they played Tulsa and asked the question of is that how you're forging Jackson Arnold
52:57
similar to how you helped forge Sam Brafford, I was gonna wonder if they
53:01
were you were throwing it all out. But you know, of course I
53:05
made the mistake and asked the question that led to him get going on a
53:07
two minute a twenty minute tangent. But that's the question, right, If
53:15
Venables is treating this situation like he did back in the early two thousands against
53:22
Tulsa when him and Kevin Wilson going back and forth, may I did we
53:28
got a dude that we didn't know who he was ended up winning the Heisman?
53:31
Right? Who's gonna complain if he can get close to that? Right?
53:36
I mean? Do I expect forty seven hundred passing yards? Absolutely not.
53:40
I do expect three thousand, just because we know how self the Trail
53:45
does things. He's a very good on pace and he likes to put up
53:47
numbers. So the expectation is. I don't think we hit forty points a
53:52
game like we did last year. I think we dropping the thirties kind of
53:54
like what Phil Steele was looking at us, but it probably is more.
53:59
Now let's wrap it up with this, though. I got one more thing,
54:01
Uh can we kick? Let me go ahead and kick PG real quick?
54:07
Give me and say, let me block this. Ja, I'm just
54:09
telling you. I'm just telling you a lot. Let me put him in
54:13
time out. There we go. PG is now in time out. Twenty
54:15
six is here? Jay? I know that you it's not It's not a
54:19
real year. It's not a real year. And I just I just muted
54:24
PG for the next few years. He's he's now timed out because he's going
54:31
to keep Why is he responding? Let me time you out? Where is
54:35
this time out? But put user in time out? There we go,
54:38
we're time out in PG. PG show is now in time out. It
54:42
is not a real year. We got a quarterback though, so yes,
54:46
and running back and but yes we get the quarterback, which is the most
54:52
important thing. Yeah, but it ain't a real year. Actually, you
54:59
know why I'm doing in this. I had two people I needed to promote.
55:01
While we're sitting here, where is he? There's Duck congratulations and Keith
55:09
We understand Finebaum is and he's Jim rum today, right, Like that's that's
55:15
what he is. It is all about SEC not SEC but ESPN. You
55:21
know they gave him that platform, and you know it's just a personality.
55:25
But I mean, you got to think that like, that's that's how you
55:30
You have to have polarizing figures who aren't going to demand contracts upon contract upon
55:36
contracts, you know, And that's a ESPN has to do. It is
55:38
you can't have all the big names anymore because Broadcast TV is on a struggle
55:43
bus massively exactly. And you know, outside of the punk Finebaum deel,
55:46
you know, Finebaum is always interesting characters in general because he's been doing this
55:50
for so darn long. But hey, real quick on this, the Eli
55:53
Drinkwick's set of comments. We'll en this in the last five minutes with it.
55:59
So for the direct quote for those of y'all, he said that Caden
56:04
Green has s T. I's not what y'all think. Its size, toughness,
56:15
and intensity. It wasn't integrity. I know that for damn sure.
56:21
It wasn't that. But he said s T I S my boy, what
56:25
are we doing here? I get that it's fun to create these little actnet
56:30
doll you can't do that. And then he of course talked about how did
56:35
PG come make in another account? Let me go ahead and I'm gonna let
56:37
me let me meet him in the second account. Time out for PG kidding,
56:45
but no, he but but this was an interesting Stephen, thank you
56:49
for pointing this out because this is the one that I want to talk about.
56:51
I'm a fight PG for going to his other account, he said that
56:55
Green is playing guard right now. Yeah, and with you know, he
57:00
played a little left guard for us, but we had him for a tackle
57:05
and he, you know, drink mentioned that, you know, when Marcus
57:09
Brian got there, they slick you know, Caten down the left guard and
57:13
you know, he's a he's a company guy, does a very good job
57:15
of you know, helping out where needed or whatnot. Cool. What do
57:22
you think about that? Man? It's kind of an interesting statement, right,
57:24
I mean because that it wasn't it like a complaint? I mean,
57:28
coach Rick moranis is always coming up with I mean, sorry, Eli Drinkowitz
57:31
is always coming up with some weird stuff, and I mean, I don't
57:36
I don't know what what are you trying to do? Seriously, what are
57:38
you trying to do with that? Like you didn't sound smart. Whatever intelligence
57:43
that people thought that you had still m h. So you know, it
57:49
just confirms it's it's as soon as the season gets going, I'm you know,
57:52
I think Missouri. They've got damn near at AAC type of schedule.
57:59
I think it's just, uh, I don't, I mean, I got
58:02
no answers. Jay, I really don't. I mean I don't. I
58:05
don't know what that's about. Like, it just confuses me how that guy
58:10
would come out and say something like that. It just it blows my mind,
58:14
absolutely blows my mind. It's fascinating because you get, Wow, we've
58:19
got two more crystal balls that popped in. Colin Kennedy just dropped his crystal
58:22
ball. Brian Donne from the National Recruiting Analysts over there at two four seven
58:29
also has dropped his crystal ball. This sounds like we have some possibilities.
58:32
Guys, get yourselves excited. But no, he talked about how you know
58:37
he's got you know, Kayden Green. As soon as he hit the port
58:39
they recruited him hard, and then you know, when he got in the
58:42
portal, they decided to reach out because they were super excited. I'm not
58:45
gonna get any speculations. I'm not here to be lib at any level or
58:47
whatever you call I you know, but I'm just gonna say this, though,
58:51
I thought I was fascinating that this man said that he's now played left
58:53
guard. Now he'd be our starting right tackle right now. Hell, he'd
58:59
be starting left tackle if he it's again, I don't care like it's a
59:07
it's just a very fascin if anything. Missoo, Keith, you are one
59:12
hundred percent right. And I said it, you're not sneaking up on anybody,
59:16
you are. I mean that that that's that they got. They did
59:21
what they did last year. Listen, Luther Burden, he's great quarterback,
59:28
he's good. They lost their DC. They're not sneaking up on anybody.
59:32
When they play the bigger boys. It's going to be it's going to be,
59:37
it's going to be real. And I say that this coaching staff,
59:42
you know, takes each game and Keith, I mean, tell me if
59:45
I'm wrong. After A and M you know, comes out and beats Bama
59:49
and then starts talking about like we ruled the SEC. I'm pretty sure Bama
59:52
went in that next year and was like, all right, let's let's do
59:57
this. And so if you, if you, that's why you don't see
1:00:00
any trash talking in the SEC media days. Why do you want to have
1:00:06
any type of target on your back? And I think that I mean people
1:00:08
just want to put they'll want to put Missouri in the locker because they I
1:00:13
mean, they messed around and had a winning season for the first time and
1:00:15
I don't know how long, and so they thought it was something special.
1:00:19
You know. Congratulations Missouri fans. You welcome to a Winter Circle. Yet
1:00:22
you were there for a short minute. So let's uh, let's let's see
1:00:25
what happens. But yeah, Kaden Green go into the guard. All the
1:00:29
stuff that we heard about everything, we know for a fact that he got
1:00:32
a he got a pretty big Floyd said, four thirty PM Eastern two four
1:00:38
seven. All right, three thirty Central time. Thank you Floyd for giving
1:00:44
us that update live on the show. That's the man. So now you
1:00:47
know when he's going to actually commit. So for those that did not know
1:00:52
that, three thirty on two four seven, Yeah, all right, we've
1:00:59
got a date and we've got a time. Yeah, yeah, boy's pretty
1:01:05
excited. Now crystal Ball is flying in and now we've got a time.
1:01:09
So now I know exactly when I need to be getting my life together.
1:01:15
So we might be uh, we might have a little little little watch party.
1:01:21
So it's uh, we don't have many watch parties for for uh this
1:01:24
year left, and I'm hoping, hoping, hoping that you know, at
1:01:30
the end of this uh this month, we'll be all but locked up and
1:01:34
uh for Susi's the last one, so that would be awesome. I still
1:01:42
feel like he's our David Stone recruitment this time around. I'm hoping that he's
1:01:45
the big one, that the big fish that comes in and then you start
1:01:46
seeing more stuff populate with him. That will be dope. But let's go
1:01:53
with it, all right, anything else you want to close with. I
1:01:55
thought it was gonna be out here within an hour, but let's like,
1:01:58
no, We've got more. I got bubbles from Floyd, so I'm waiting
1:02:02
on that. But no, it's uh all right, you know, I
1:02:05
think we have sooner Sooners under the Stars Party's Palace coming up to you know,
1:02:09
because there's years in the future that's that's that are that are gonna be
1:02:15
coming at us soon. But U n c A twenty five j you haven't
1:02:19
played it yet, right, Nope, I got it loaded up. I'm
1:02:21
actually as soon as I get off here, I'm going right to it the
1:02:24
on and watch the video and see it all light up in front of me
1:02:29
take his Anax or something and start start low, don't don't do like somebody
1:02:35
else did, and go straight into heisman that said he got any words for
1:02:39
the viewers, and he said, ha ha ha, you ain't getting me
1:02:43
like that. Tune in Saturday, four thirties. Thank you Floyd for the
1:02:50
good laugh, man. We appreciate it. All right, we'll see you
1:02:52
definitely on Saturday. All right, thank you for pulling up pur the norm
1:02:55
wipe your feed. You hit that like buddy, chance to subscribe up in
1:02:59
the car. I mean, it's give us, you know, your thoughts
1:03:00
and stuff. If you're watching this later, if you're listening to the audio
1:03:05
version rate review, give us five stars. Any think we deserve it.
1:03:07
Let's give us five anyway and gifted. If you're over on the recruiting site,
1:03:09
we will have some more videos coming down the line on the way to
1:03:14
the commitment. We'll probably even start going some reviews of like, well,
1:03:19
since you think it's a real year, Coop, I'm just gonna go ahead
1:03:22
and task you with making videos around these recruits in twenty twenty six that you
1:03:24
just love so much. Since it's a real year to you, it ain't
1:03:28
real to me, it ain't real into this class signs in my personal opinion,
1:03:31
or we get a commitment. But yes, thank you all for coming.
1:03:35
Man. We appreciate everybody. Enjoy your evening. Locked on sooners.
1:03:38
We'll have our video in the morning, me and John, so we'll probably
1:03:43
record here in the bit but uh yeah with that, with that we'll chop
1:03:45
it up. I don't know, and the next stuff there two peaks
