Let's see here, res dog Wow, you decided to work today thanks for
2:21
joining us, Jake Brooks Well, Bieber, I appreciate you joining us today.
2:24
I hate that you weren't able to be here last week and us have
2:28
not have a show, so I'm glad you're here today. Yeah. Yeah,
2:32
it was it was me. It was all my fault. No,
2:37
it was this crazy business that were in his fault. So yeah, last
2:39
week end of the week had to take off at least here to work in
2:43
there. Did you have to put all this monstrosity that's behind us in this
2:46
hallway? What is going on here? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it
2:50
was very convenient that you weren't here for the movie. I it was so
3:00
what you're speaking of, so that people know it's the office next door replacing
3:06
people are coming tomorrow to replace an air conditioning unit. Had to move an
3:09
entire office, a big ol' heavy desk, a huge bookshelf, what else
3:15
was in there, everything that would go normally go in in office and conveniently,
3:21
Jake Wimberley during the times that that needed to be moved. Although I
3:23
was told I said, you know what, I'm sorry. I was told
3:28
Bill said, hey, we're going to need your help monday. Me you
3:34
Ricky, who's the boss man and Jake are all gonna move this office.
3:38
Oh you know who ended up doing it? Me and Bill, and I
3:43
was downright disgusted, and I actually, I actually I went to Ricky the
3:50
boss man up front. I was so proud I guilt tripped him. I
3:53
guilt tripped him and actually coming to help because me and Bill, Bill is
3:58
seventy. I went over there because Ricky started out, it's trying to have
4:01
casual conversation. He goes, oh, it looks like you shaved, that's
4:05
what he said, and I said, I says to him, I says,
4:08
well, I had to prepare to move this desk because since it was
4:11
only going to be me and Bill, me and a seventy year old man.
4:15
And he felt bad and came back and actually helped move the bookshelf.
4:20
So I felt really good about that. And I says to them, I
4:24
says, Okay, we're going to wait to move this back until Jake is
4:28
here, because he's gonna do He's gonna get into this now fair enough,
4:32
because I found it. I found it rather convenient. Just so you weren't
4:38
here stuff going on all day, A lot of stuff going on all day.
4:42
What day are we moving this stuff back. Well, that depends on
4:45
when the air conditioner people come. Oh, okay, supposed to be tomorrow.
4:49
We'll see. Is that effecting there in the studio? I have no
4:51
idea. It's not supposed to affect this room. What I'm always gonna tell
5:00
you it's hot anyway, So sure you can't ask me. Let's see here.
5:03
Beth Mowen's offspring go Vall's also Broncos have beautiful new uniforms, life is
5:08
good and a new quarterback. Do you see that Zach Wilson is a Denver
5:14
Bronco? Do you think Sean Payton can fix this broken individual? I don't
5:20
want to go against Molly, you know, I got a lot of faith
5:24
in him. But as Zach Wilson, that's questionable. Even for Peyton,
5:30
it's extremely questionable. All Right, we got a lot to get to.
5:32
It is NFL Draft week. We are glad to be back on the radio.
5:36
Did you see any of the Misispi State spring game? Do you see
5:40
the highlights? Shaving look good? A eighteen of twenty two, three hundred
5:45
and twelve yards, three touchdowns long as the pass of the day was sixty
5:46
yard strike that he completed you know, again, take these things with a
5:51
grain of salt. Offense looks good, defense looks bad. Is the offense
5:55
good? Is the defense bad? All that kind of stuff. Let's see.
5:58
And there's other stuff on spring games I want to get to as well.
6:02
Did you see this was in it last week that ESPN and TNT won't
6:08
pay what the NBA wants and they're renegotiating. You know, the NBA ratings
6:14
have tanked. Nobody's watching the NBA, and now ESPN and TNT their negotiations.
6:18
They don't they're not gonna pay what the NBA wants. In this crazy
6:24
the NFL gets anything they want anything, Major League Baseball they're kind of just
6:30
tread and water. But the NBA is down to like cricket, Like do
6:36
you realize hockey I believe gets better ratings than the NBA. Isn't that crazy?
6:45
Depending on where you look, apparently because they try to. They try
6:49
to tell me in some areas that, oh, the NBA ratings, they're
6:54
pulling in one point six million viewers per game, like like that's huge.
7:02
But so some places have been telling me because we've been looking at this for
7:06
a while now, and the common theme seems to be NBA rankings or ratings
7:14
are indeed down, down, down, down, But some places are still
7:17
trying to hold on to this and tell me, oh, that's not right.
7:21
Well, I'm sure if you look at certain markets, you could make
7:26
the argument that, hey, in this market that it is up. Let's
7:30
just I'm throwing a random mar Atlanta. If the ratings were up two point
7:33
five percent from last year in Atlanta, some will spin it and go,
7:39
oh, no, they're up two point five percent. But no, that's
7:41
so just in that market. That's not across the country. So we'll continue
7:46
to watch that story. Speaking of stories and money, Mario Crystalbaal was credited
7:49
with twenty two point seven million in total pay for twenty twenty two. Now,
7:54
this is the head football coach at the University of Miami. Twenty two
7:59
point seven million total pay. Quote, that's the largest ever single year amount
8:03
for an athletics department employee on a tax form by a private university, according
8:07
to USA Today Sports Research. Can you believe that that's more? That's like
8:11
double Nick Saban Mario Cristobul twenty two point seven million dollars for what they got
8:18
going on down there and I'll get more into that. Also, Missouri,
8:20
do you see the renderings of their new two hundred and fifty million dollar renovation
8:24
of its football stadium. Looks good, at least on the renderings. And
8:26
this will be you know, modern day stuff. A lot of glass on
8:31
the exterior, very nice facade, interior. They're bowling around the grass grassy
8:37
field area that sits in the I will guess that's the west end zone.
8:43
But anyway, looks really, really good. So Dion Sanders was asked about
8:46
Colorado losing players to the portal late last week. He said, what are
8:50
we losing? Reportal said potential starters? D un says where? And then
8:56
did you see this? They went back and forth and Deon's like, obviously
8:58
you don't watch practice. So we'll see what goes on over the next few
9:01
weeks with Colorado and others. There's other movement in the transfer portal, more
9:07
pressure for the NC double A and its members to lift prohibitions on direct athletes
9:13
compensation from and nil Rosstellender reporting several weeks ago Charlie Bakers Project D, one
9:20
of which was the first phase of direct and IL from schools to athletes,
9:22
has for now been paused. Told you this wasn't gonna have It's never going
9:28
to happen. Charlie Baker's never going to get this thing off the ground.
9:31
It's never going to happen. Also, Notre Dame late last week on Friday,
9:35
Notre Dame Athletics or Thursday late Thursday are considered now employees and have been
9:41
denied rights through the student athletic label. A new n l RB charge brought
9:48
by the College Basketball Players Association, and of course recap on what this all
9:54
was at the end of last week. NCABA is now facing a third n
9:56
l RB calls or case over athletic employment or athlete employment uh A case seeking
10:03
athletic minimum wage. Two cases seeking billions in ANIL that's the Austin back pay.
10:09
Also two cases to eliminate transfer INNIL restrictions and state laws prohibiting enforcement and
10:15
permitting athletic pay. This is just getting nastier and nastier for the NCAA.
10:18
Also late Thursday early fronts. You see Arizona State quarterback Jaden Rashadas in the
10:24
transfer portal. This is Tate Martel two point zero. This kid will never
10:30
make it. Locked into that massive nil dispute. If you remember Jade and
10:35
Rashata with the Florida Gators, gets out of that, goes to Arizona,
10:41
plays one year in the transfer portal. He's got four years of eligibility.
10:45
This dude will finish his career probably at Idaho. Is that fair? Oh?
10:54
No, no, no, no, I was. I immediately started
10:56
seeing out there on the face book and the X He's going to visit Misssippi
11:03
State for what Jesus every quarterback that comes available, he's immediately y'all, people
11:09

12:46
About a month. Speaking of Trustmark Park, res Dog is asking that
12:48
anybody wants to go to Miranda Lambert with him, he will take them.
12:52
It's interesting that I'm proud of Resdog wanting to take somebody on the listener on
12:56
this show to Miranda Lambert. Oh, don't put that on res Dog.
13:03
Don't put that on res Dog. What's actually happening here is in one text
13:07
he sends that we're talked about how they're a defunct minor league team truth and
13:15
called her a salute. I don't know about that, but it's funny he's
13:18
on one on a Monday. Two minute warnings helmet communications. We'll get into
13:24
this coming to college football during the twenty twenty four season. Are you in
13:28
favor of a two minute warning in college football? No? Really, I'm
13:31
not. I mean it's not like a massive deal. When I read it,
13:35
I didn't get all this is wrong. But we don't have to make
13:41
that. We don't have to make college football more and more and more like
13:46
the NFL. This is just one thing that's closer to Oh, we're trying
13:52
to make this so much like the NFL two minute warning, cause it reminded
13:58
me of back in nineteen hundred and ninety two when I first started watching football.
14:05
That was the year you started watching football? Yeah, I was late.
14:07
I was late. I was nine years old when I started watching,
14:13
and I had seen the NFL. I saw the NFL before I had watched
14:18
a college game, and this reminded me of watching I was watching an egg
14:22
ball actually with my papa, with my grandpa, and when it got to
14:28
the two minutes in the fourth quarter, since I had never seen a college
14:33
game, I looked at him and said where's the two minute warning? And
14:37
he didn't even answer. He was just like, what are you telling my
14:41
kid? There ain't no two minute warning college football. He didn't say that,
14:45
but that's what reminded me of. So that's how I learned ain no
14:48
two minute warning in college football? Fast forward all these This is a random
14:54
memory that it made me think of. But anyway, it's just a little
14:58
toy, trying to make it more like the NFL, like there's not going
15:03
to be a difference soon. Well that is true. Well, that won't
15:09
be a difference at some point, it'll be the same game, just different
15:13
players. Let's see here Boomer sooner and you can text a six or one
15:15
eight, five, three, seven, seven six. Why do they need
15:18
a two minute warning? They already stop after every play for review. Well,
15:22
I get what you're saying, but I mean again, we'll get into
15:26
this, and I think there's some reasoning in here on why they did this.
15:28
A named Texter. Why don't they make basketball four quarters instead of worrying
15:31
about adding another commercial break to football. It's a great question, right,
15:37
I mean, the women they go four quarters. I don't know why.
15:39
The guys never never did. I wonder if David Murray knows that question.
15:41
Answer to that, I bet he does well. Last David, We'll see
15:45
see if he knows. Let's see here, college sports is in a revolution.
15:48
Unlimited transfers, opening, uh, inducements, little enforcement, and we
15:54
get into uh, we may get into this inside the mind of Jeffrey Kessler,
15:58
the man who helped top NCAA amateurism and plunge it into chaos, also
16:03
being responsible for termining a future model. Again Blake's shaping over the Weekendssissippi State
16:08
eighteen for twenty two three hundred and twelve yards, three touchdowns, longest pass
16:12
of sixty yards. Also ju see arch Manning in the spring game. Oh
16:18
boy, my god. Yes. When I read about his performance, that
16:25
was my first thought was, Oh, Jake's gonna talk about this. Nineteen
16:29
of twenty five, three hundred and fifty five yards, three touchdowns, hashtag
16:33
hook them. I told you it's inevitable. This young man is going to
16:37
be awesome. Nineteen of twenty six. Oh, but I felt like you
16:42
were writing this article because they also made sure to point out he was nineteen
16:48
of twenty six. But they couldn't just go there. They had to point
16:51
out and at least four of his passes hit a receiver's hands. They had
16:56
to make sure, Oh it wasn't It wasn't Saint Manning's fault. It was
17:02
these garbage receivers. I mean, you have to kind of point that out.
17:07
I would think, right, I don't know Dak Prescott through his receivers
17:11
under the bus quarterbacks do it. Last month, the biggest money fight in
17:17
college sports history unfolded. College footballlayoff negotiations were heated, and we'll have a
17:22
permit scar But how this could have been avoided? This being how a failed
17:26
deal packed twelve collapse in SEC Big ten's threats changed the industry forever. This
17:32
from Ross Tellinger really good. Readn't want to get into in this talks about
17:36
would the SEC and Big Ten have left the college football playoff and abandoned the
17:40
other leagues if revenue negotiations weren't to their liking. Both commissioners Greg Sanki and
17:45
Tony Pettetti said they have or they had other options lined up. So yes,
17:52
of course, I'm telling you they've got this thing teed up. When
17:56
the dominoes don't fall the way that Sankey and Petety won they're out. They're
18:02
out, I mean one out. So interesting read here. Also side note,
18:07
college football leaders meet Tuesday tomorrow in Dallas as part of their annual two
18:12
day spring gathering. Meetings aren't expected to produce any significant news, but it's
18:18
the first in person meeting since adoption of the contentious revenue model. And we'll
18:25
get into some more of this. Also we said earlier first segment, Zack
18:29
Wilson headed to Denver during first day of draft week, jet starting Former starting
18:37
quarterback Zach Wilson on the move headed to the Broncos. Do you know what
18:41
this? Let's see, I think the deal? What was the deal on
18:47
this? What did Denver have to give up? If anything? Honestly,
18:49
I didn't see specifics. All I saw was the phrase a late round pick.
18:55
So now the Broncos have Zack Wilson, Jarrett Stidham, and Ben Denucie.
19:00
Do you think they'll get at another quarterback? I would, I would
19:07
think so. I still think they're gonna draft someone. I mean, as
19:11
Jared Stidham. What's the beat on this guy? Obviously not impressive? I
19:22
mean, are they going to give him a shot? Is Peyton gonna give
19:26
him a shot? On this. If it's all they have, if they
19:30
don't draft a quarterback, I guess Peyton. I don't know what Sean Payton's
19:37
doing here. Also there's a piece Ian Rappaport on Dak Prescott, Cowboys quarterback
19:41
Dak Prescott on the lack of a contract. We'll get into this quote right
19:45
now. It's with the Dallas Cowboys. It's where I want to be and
19:49
that's where I am and that's the focus. And after the season, we'll
19:52
see where we're at and if the future holds that telling you this is it
19:56
for him? Oh they left out the best part. What's that where he
20:03
was totally full of it. I heard the audio they played it on Con
20:10
Coward and he was talking about because obviously, you know, the thinking is,
20:15
oh, that's going to sign this new mega deal, because that's talked
20:19
about that the next next quarterbackup always gets the biggest deal ever. But anyway,
20:25
they asked him specifically about you know, being paid whatnot, and he
20:29
says, what was this is that wording? He says, I'm not worried
20:34
about being the highest paid. Good start, But there was pause. Then
20:42
he says, necessarily m okay, So I'm just kind of worried about.
20:49
It depends on the day. How I wake up, Yeah, I would
20:55
be. I don't know. I don't know that. It depends on how
20:57
he plays this year. If he's very average, I think they go away
21:02
from him. If they missed the playoffs, I know they go away from
21:04
him. Hey, we're brought to you by Cowboy Maloney, seventy years in

22:30
dot Com on your radio, David, welcome, Ince, or how are
22:33
you? I have just finished a whole bunch of weeding and poisoning and other
22:38
stuff around, other stuff, the things that Super Bulldog week in recent football
22:45
and baseball demands kept me from doing. Today I ran out of excuses,
22:48
so it was outdoors and do the stuff that has been delayed. But all
22:53
done. Weeds now carded off into the nearby field and ready to kind of
22:59
pick up the pie from the weekend that was, and what a weekend it
23:03
was. Yeah, let's talk about it, kind of get your thoughts on
23:06
everything. We'll start baseball first, Missisippi State still holding in that third spot
23:10
in the SECU West at ten and eight in the conference twenty six and fourteen.
23:14
Over all, your thoughts of the weekend in baseball. Well, going
23:17
into the week, I made it clear, at least in my own mind,
23:18
whatever that's worth. I said it. It had to be a sweep.
23:21
It wasn't just when a conference series. The Bulldogs had to sweep.
23:26
They had to come out of this first six series in my mind over five
23:30
hundred they've managed to pull it off. Now, yes, they can't get
23:33
some of those games back, You're still going to look back at the lost
23:37
to Georgia or the game to loss at Ole Miss and regard those as two
23:40
that got away. And if you don't, all of a sudden, you're
23:42
sitting really pretty right now with ten wins. But as twelve wins, as
23:47
it is with ten, you're on track the whole key and this is just
23:51
being pragmatist. Don't get swept at Vanderbilt somehow, don't get swept at Arkansas,
23:56
which is way easier said than done, because some really darn good state
23:59
teams been bruined by Arkansas. Win your home series, you're in minstably tournament.
24:03
You're in an outside chance of hosting depending on how those series take place
24:07
and what you do in Hoover. So Crystal Monis's team is back on track
24:11
now. They can just get Nate Dome back healthy and in the rotation somehow,
24:15
are possibly in a bullpen type role. There'll be poised to make a
24:18
run here in the last four series of the season. David what are you.
24:22
I know, it's early projection wise, MISSI mistate can start talking.
24:26
It looks like postseason baseball again, early projections, not no necessary location.
24:33
I mean, we're talking about an outside opportunity to host two seed, three
24:37
seed kind of where they're at. Well, I say, right now,
24:40
two seed. The RPI improved to forty five today, and that RP is
24:44
dragged down by just a really bad non conference schedule. You know, I've
24:47
talked about that many times, and some ugly losses in the process of that
24:51
as well. They're not going to help themselves with any other non conference game
24:53
except of course the Governor's Cup game. Total miss will be an RPI boost
24:57
there as well. But you're in the physiest now where really you probably need
25:02
to cancel. So like last week, by playing Alcorn State, you lost
25:04
eight spots in the RPI because they're third to last in the country. That's
25:10
what you have to watch out for. But this whole season is going to
25:12
come down to SEC season. So you got Vanderbilt, who is really a
25:18
different team on their home fields You've got to go to. But then you've
25:21
got home series left with Alabama. With Missouri, you feel like you've got
25:25
a chance to make a run here at the end of it, position yourselves
25:27
well for Hoover. Yes, they're on the way back to Hoover, so
25:33
we can just about put that in the books at this point, barring a
25:36
collapse. So, like I said, just get some guys healthy, get
25:38
Dylan Cup back at the shortstop position, give you more alternates, start working
25:44
on that batting order. I mean, yes, I could put my own
25:45
order together and nobody's gonna listen to it. Although I'd sure like to see
25:48
David Rashaan leading up in Connor High sack hitt. And second, that's just
25:52
me. The coaches get paid do this. They have their reasons, so
25:56
you see some things. If they can us get some of these runners home,
26:02
they'd be in so much better shape offensively. And they're close. They're
26:06
just that close to get to get done. I like the way they fought
26:08
back. They didn't concede the third game. They made it happen. So
26:12
bull Baseball was back in the right track, but only on track. You
26:15
still got a long way to go to reach that finish. David Mamurriy talking

Missipi State Sports Money edition of the program. Make sure to find them at
26:22
geenspage dot com. Two four seven sports dot Com affiliate also check them out
26:26
on Excess. Well, all right, Blake shaping pretty good numbers over the
26:29
weekend. Your thoughts, I mean, it's a spring game. I get
26:32
it, but I mean, you know, Bulldog fans, I mean over
26:36
thirsty for a little bit of offensive action. Got that on Saturday if they
26:38
participated and watched the spring game. Your thoughts of what you saw the new
26:41
look Jeff Levy Bulldogs. You know, between the games yesterday at Dudio of
26:47
I was talking to an administrator who's in charge of football oversight, and I
26:51
said, you know, I've been doing the spring game, I think a
26:52
long time. In fact, that was my forty fifth spring game, it
26:56
mus Bee stated. And I can count on one hand, probably not even
27:02
the whole hand, the number of spring games that I would say mattered.
27:06
This one mattered. This is a rare exception to it, not just because
27:10
of the situation state football's in generally, but the addition of Jeff Levy,
27:15
what he's done offensively, what the new receivers are doing. You mentioned Blake
27:19
shapin the way the ball came out of his hand. You just sit there
27:23
and just think what an astounding difference a tenth of a second makes in getting
27:29
the ball out to receivers who are getting open, to putting the ball on
27:33
the spot, letting them make plays. I'm going to tell you the thing
27:36
that I came away encouraged, even most about the offensive line. They showed
27:41
an attitude. Those four transfers have stepped right in, brought some juice to
27:45
that offensive front there. Albert Reese, who's plugging in now at the move,
27:48
found his position at guard. He's even shown some attitude with him as
27:52
well. I like what they did against the dog defense that knew exactly what
27:56
the offense is going to run and still could not stop them for the first
28:00
series or two. So thoroughly pleased with the offense. I see some suns
28:03
defensively, that's got a lot more athleticism out there. Still some concerns about
28:07
the secondary coverage, but what else is new there? But I'm telling you
28:11
this spring game mattered. Jake and Weather kept the crowd down to some extent.
28:15
But boy, everybody's reading our after game reports, our features of the
28:21
players, and you can tell everybody wants to know what happened. They want
28:23
to see the replace thing. Is this really happening here? Yeah, it's
28:27
really happening. Let's wrap it up a little basketball. Looks like things are
28:32
coming together for Christians for next year, is it not? It is?
28:36
And it's funny too, because I was ready to cash everything in Saturday night,
28:38
and all of a sudden news starts breaking that State got a commitment from
28:44
a guard from Boston College who was their leading three point shooter. You plug
28:48
him in there now, all of a sudden, Josh Hubert's got some help
28:51
to work with. Then the news that Keishawn Murphy decided to take his name
28:56
out of the portal. He's coming back, And yeah, he had his
28:57
disagreements with the coach last year, just because he's still learning how to tell
29:00
defense to the level at Chris Jians wants Offensively, there's no question how much
29:06
explosive does he can bring to that team. Now, you've still got to
29:08
plug in another post player. But those guys are visiting. He's not through
29:12
the portal yet, and nor is Sam Purcell. By the way, he's
29:15
picking up commitments also. So the portal closes on the thirtieth. But remember,
29:21
if you're in the portal, you don't have to sign or commit by
29:23
the thirtieth. You can keep dragging this on out and figure out what you
29:26
want to do the rest of the way. So I expect basketball to keep
29:30
going. Of course, they're announcing their non conference schedule, getting that out
29:33
as well. So you know, historically have always said the busiest time of
29:37
the year for us in this business, Jake, is actually the middle of
29:41
February to the middle of April, start of baseball, the end of basketball,
29:45
porturing football. All of a sudden, it ain't slowing down. Jeff
29:48
Levy is having his exit interviews this week, and then he and the staff
29:52
go recruiting. They want to plug in some pieces like another running back,
29:55
another cornerback and edge rusher they can find him, possibly another offensive tackle and
29:59
pick up and then they go speaking Christian. Still have got recruiting going full
30:03
blast and blog baseball. Hey, you see what some of these guys are
30:07
doing. They've got to think recruiting too, because some of these guys are
30:10
playing themselves into the draft as well. So it ain't slowing down for any
30:14
of them, Jake, which means it's not slowing down for us either.
30:18
David. I appreciate your time as always look have a great week. Don't
30:19
let them work you too hard. If I can get this yard work done,
30:23
then the major task is finished and I can have a little peace.

Baseball dogs look poised to be back in the postseason this year. That will
31:48
keep Lamona's in starkl Or. You'd have to think it will, especially if
31:52
they make a runner in a regional, get to a super regional. You
31:55

31:57
to you actually how we cry like thrillator seven six nine two two six three

sell to relokate. Chris Andrew will join us four to four thirty talking NFL
32:08
Draft, a lot of NFL Draft, maybe a little college. NFL Network
32:12
will get into some of this. They have already scoured this draft and projected
32:15
who's going to be All pros, who's going to be Pro Bowlers and overachievers.
32:20
We'll get into some of that. Speaking of transfer portal, former Texas
32:24
A and M and USC defensive lineman Isaiah Rakes has committed to Auburn sixty one,
32:32
three hundred and fifteen pound defensive linemen who have a year left to play
32:37
in. As he says on his X feed, the planes is the crib
32:43
war Damn Eagle. Also, Mississippi State quarterback Mike Wright is headed to the
32:51
transfer portal again. Right has thrown for twenty five hundred and twenty yards twelve
32:58
hundred and twenty nine yards rush. He started, of course, was the
33:00
starter at Vanderbilt for some time. He will do very nicely at probably Louisiana
33:05
Tech. Do you remember last year when a lot of people felt like this
33:07
guy was gonna be the answer for Zach Arnett. Michael Wright. You can
33:13
watch this dude play like ten plays. Nah, let's see here, Grumpy
33:21
Champ. Grumpy wants to know. Does Champ normally have David Murray on Monday
33:25
Afternoon's always a great info. Yeah, I try to grab it. Dependent
33:29
on the day, we'll go David or Steve Paul Jones. When we get
33:32
a chance to grab him, then we'll go Michael Katz and some others,
33:37
Jake Thompson, dependent on the day, which had a lot of times on
33:40
Mondays. Miami transfer running back Henry Parrish has committed Ole Miss. You know,
33:47
we were talking about this last week before we had to break to take
33:52
care of other stuff. Two running backs, one from Oregon State, one
33:55
from Miami and the transfer portal, and there was gonna be some shifting in
33:59
the running backs, and that has happened. So ole Miss picks up Henry
34:02
Parish. Parish rush for twenty fifty seven yards in his career, So that
34:06
is a good addition for ole Miss to put in that backfield. Also,
34:09
Michigan state wide receiver Antonio Gates Junior has entered the NCAA transfer portal. He
34:16
is the son of former NFL legend Antonio Gates. So if you are my
34:20
age and you hear Antonio Gates Junior, yes, it makes you feel old
34:22
and we are all getting old. Let's see here. Also, JJ McCarthy's
34:28
odds to be selected second in the NFL draft have increased from two thousand to
34:34
one to nine, or from twenty to one to nine to one by FD
34:38
sportsbook. We'll get into some of that. So JJ McCarthy still could come
34:42
off the board at number two very well could come off the board at number
34:45
two. Also, speaking of those running backs, Miami loses one but picks
34:50
one up as Damian Martinez has now committed to play for the Miami Hurricanes,
34:55
and he was probably the better of the two for being honest. So Miami
35:00
got an upgrade and Almoss got a got a running back as well. And
35:06
let's see. Colorado picks up a former Texas offensive lineman, Peyton Kirkland six
35:10
six fifty pounds will have four years of eligibility as he heads to play for
35:16
Dion Sanders. And then of course they loop. Nope, they grab another
35:20
one. Pit edge rusher Dayan Hayes will head to Colorado as well. Total
35:24
eighty one tackles, twenty seven tackles for lost, thirteen sacks, three forced
35:29
fumbles in his career so far was top available edge rusher and the transfer portal
35:34
courtesy of on three dot com. And again arch Manning with a massive date.
35:38
Did you watch any of these highlights? Man The ball looks good coming
35:44
out of his hands? Why is it? Why is it every other time?
35:49
Literally, you make fun of people who look back Alabama. You make
35:54
fun of people who were talking back in the day about how impressive who was
36:00
in a spring game. But now that arch Manning had a good spring game,
36:05
you're acting like this is something and I'm not making this up. This
36:07
is legitimately what you do. Finally proven that Wemberly has favorites. That he's
36:14
playing, Yeah, his spring game, whatever year that was one, not
36:22
just because it's an Alabama thing, but you have made fun of people who
36:27
say who think because a quarterback, no matter where it is, has a
36:31
good spring game, that they're destined for greatness, and now you're doing it
36:36
with arch Manning. I'm just because it fits your narrative. I'm just saying
36:42
this. The ball looks different coming out of his hands. Looks like a
36:46
Manning thrown to me. Super Bowl winning quarterbacks, What are you talking about?
36:52
Peyton? Eli both gonna be first ballot Hall of Famers? Are they?
37:00
I mean, close your eyes when you watch him throw and just imagine
37:02
one of the others. Thing looks just like him. See you're and you
37:07
act now you're talking like Eli Manning is a definite first ballot. That's a
37:12
huge debate. There isn't, Peyton, Yes, absolutely no doubt. But
37:19
you heard when Eli Manning retired that was almost an immediate debate. It was.
37:24
It was two Super Bowls? Though? Is Hee the best quarterback to
37:30
ever play for the New York Giants? Trying to think back to the Giant's
37:37
history just since I've been watching football, I'll see if I probably pull some
37:43
of that uh on Eli Manning six or one eight nine seven one zero five
37:45
to nine, Bill, get him, Beaver, don't let Jake off the
37:49
hook. I'm crying. Yeah, I mean, look, I'm just watching
37:52
Arch Manning throw the ball. That's it. I just want to I'm just
37:54
watching him throw the ball. On a spring game and uh he throws it
37:59
well, get them can spin it now. Obviously he'll have to wait one
38:02
more year before he and he may get some time this year. They may
38:07
put him in some this year with quinn Ewers, but we'll see as Texas
38:10
rolls along. Let's see here also baseball standings in the SEC. When you
38:15
look at the SEC West or East after the weekend, Kentucky still a three
38:19
game lead over Tennessee fifteen and three leads the SEC East. They have lost
38:24
to in a row, though thirty two and seven. Over All, Tennessee
38:27
has won two in a row twelve and six, thirty three and seven.
38:30
Vanderbilt sits at ten and eight, twenty nine and eleven. Georgia sits at
38:36
nine and nine a line, along with South Carolina both nine and nine,
38:38
twenty nine and ten and twenty seven and thirteen. Florida and Missouri bring up
38:43
the rear in the SEC East eight and ten and six and twelve in the
38:46
conference twenty and nineteen and eighteen and thirty twenty three SEC West Arkansas they won
38:52
a ball game yesterday. They are now fourteen and four in the conference.
38:55
They have a one game lead over Texas A and M. That lead has
38:59
shrunk down Texas A and M, of course making up ground here at thirteen
39:02
and five, both teams thirty four and six and thirty five and five respectively.
39:06
Mississippi State has won four in a row. They are ten and eight
39:09
in the Southeastern Conference, three games behind Texas A and M. They sit
39:13
three games in front of Alabama, so really just holding on to that third
39:16
seed pretty comfort our third position in the SEC West. They are twenty six
39:22
and fourteen, Alabama sits seven and eleven, Almoss six and twelve, twenty
39:25
five and fifteen, twenty one and eighteen, also LSU five and thirteen,
39:30
and Auburn two and sixteen. When I go over here and look at baseball
39:37
Top twenty five D one baseball dot Com, Texas A and M now the
39:40
number one team in the country after up ending Arkansas. Arkansas moves to number
39:45
two, Tennessee number three, in Kentucky number four. So for the top
39:50
four teams in the country are all Southeastern Conference teams A and M, Arkansas,
39:53
Tennessee and Kentucky Clemson number five. Some notables here Vanderbilt checks in at
39:58
number eleven, and UH Oklahoma chicks In at number eighteen and UH Alabama chicks
40:04
in at twenty three. Anything on the phones, we need to share more.
40:07

Landry on ex Landry Football, Landry football dot Com, Chris Happy Monday.
41:21
What's going on? Oh just rap week? That's all ready to get this
41:24
week over with? Yeah, so you know, obviously, you know,
41:30
for consultants like yourself, I know that it's pastime. You're ready to move
41:32
on to something different. But what is kind of and we've talked about this,
41:37
but just for those that haven't heard it before, it's always interesting to
41:38
hear your take because you've been a part of so many of these, you
41:43
know, internally and and of course with the consulting. Now, what what
41:45
is going on in camps today? You know, first part of weak until
41:50
Thursday, Well, every hey's in the barn really with the evaluation. What's
41:57
going on right now is the final meeting by this past weekend. You set
42:01
your draft board up and you've gone through scenarios a little bit and you'll spend
42:07
today, Tomorrow, Wednesday and even you know a little bit of third just
42:14
going through scenarios and spending you take maybe more breaks than you normally do,
42:19
and you get on the phone and you try to get a feel for what
42:22
others might be thinking. Who might be people that you think might be interested
42:29
in moving up or down, or you know, you kind of get a
42:31
feel for things. So always we always like to have everything done. You
42:37
know before this week was so that you can go through different scenarios. I
42:40
tell you what else that people may not realize that gets done right now.
42:45
You spend a lot of time going over the guys that are priority free agents
42:53
that won't get drafted. So you spend a lot of time going through your
42:59
your guys at the bottom of your draftable board, because that becomes very competitive.
43:06
And so what I always like to do you meet with coaches and you
43:09
say, look, these are the guys that we want but that we want
43:14
draft. And what you do is you try to go through and sometimes you'll
43:17
sit and break out the film and you have arguments, I like this guy
43:21
better than that guy. You get them in the right order. And so
43:23
what I tried to do is I had the coaches in the area of scouts
43:29
call the players, like in the seventh round of the draft on Saturday,
43:32
and basically you played good cop battop you know, if d line coach saying
43:37
hey, you know Jacob, I love you. I want to get you
43:39
drafted, but my no good. You know, GM, we're trying to
43:43
look at other pe I don't know. If we don't, let me tell
43:45
you what we got. You got a great chance to you know, earn
43:47
a starting job here or whatever. And so you need to make sure at
43:52
this point before you're going into the draft how you want to have those guys
43:55
stacked, because I will tell you there will be guys, not maybe definitely,
44:01
there will be guys on your draftable board that are still there when the
44:07
draft's over. So those are the guys you go after first. So there's
44:10
a lot of painstaking detailed on how you got guys right in the fourth or
44:15
fifth front because you'll have a fourth or fifth round great on a guy that
44:19
goes undrafted. And so that's obviously a priority signing for you once the draft
44:23
is open. Chris Andry talking about the draft. Of course, Draft Week
44:27
is here Monday edition of the program Finding One Exit Landry Football also Landry football
44:30
dot Com. Chris, that's that's interesting to hear that, And I haven't
44:34
ever thought about it from that perspective of kind of working backwards. So I
44:37
mean you kind of know what's going to happen around you know, here's round
44:40
one, round two, round three, maybe round four, but working backwards.
44:44
But you know, when you start talking about and I can't remember the
44:47
numbers, I know that the studies have been done on what percentage of undrafted
44:51
free agents make it in the league. You know, get make a team,
44:53
and I'm sure that numbers is low, but still those those guys after
45:00
Saturday, or if I hear you correctly, positioning teams positioning those guys.
45:06
That is extremely important to these organizations absolutely, because just pure numbers, you're
45:12
gonna have more guys signed as undrafted free agents than guys that are drafted in
45:16
the six or seventh round. So that's why more of those guys make the
45:22
roster than a six or seventh round, because it's just more numbers. I
45:24
mean, you only got you know, with compensatory picks. You might have
45:29
thirty five to forty you know, picks in the six or seventh round,
45:32
maybe as much as forty two, you know, with compensatory picks. But
45:37
you got up team guys that are signed. I mean you may sign you
45:42
know, you know, six or seven linemen. You know, so just
45:45
percentage wise, you've got a better chance of those guys making it. Here's
45:51
the other thing. If you've got a good agent, the agent does their
45:53
job well, you can convince an undrafted free agent that you know, this
46:00
is the best place for you to come my team, because a good agent
46:04
is going to have the roster and the depth chart of every team in the
46:07
league, so they're gonna know where their best chance of making a team.
46:12
So in other words, I tell players all the time, look, you
46:16
can get five ten thousand more from the other guy, you go ahead and
46:21
get it, but we've got a better chance of making our roster. You
46:25
know what the two year superseded contract for an undrafted frigid is. That's three
46:30
fifty seven. They're in a fifty seven thousand. So if you want to,
46:35
you know, havegle over five thousand, go ahead, We're giving you
46:38
the best chance. And obviously that's where the recruiting part comes in to kind
46:44
of show them why you would be a good fit in the age. It
46:46
needs to help the player to understand that, and obviously they've got multiple teams
46:51
talking to them, so they're trying to hit the best of both worlds.
46:54
Let's go back to the top of the draft looks like I mean, there's
46:57
no doubt Kayleb Williams, that's gonna unless something weird happens, and we know
47:00
that we have seen some weird stuff before. He will come off the board
47:05
at number one after full evaluation. Is in your mind he the best quarterback
47:09
in this draft? Is that the best move for Chicago that they will likely
47:13
make. Well, I think it's what they're gonna make. Here's what I
47:16
would say. I think the guy's upside is permitted. I think he has
47:21
a lot of natural ability. I have said that I'm a little bit more
47:25
concerned about him, not saying he's gonna end up being a problem, but
47:31
you're dealing with someone that comes across to me, is very entitled that he
47:39
maybe is a little bit more me than we, and so I worry a
47:45
little bit about there's maybe a potential that I don't know that I call it
47:50
a buff factor, but maybe he might not be the best locker room guy.
47:53
Now, part of that is just accepting today's world. We are very
48:00
new into the nil war, and you know, so a guy like Cat
48:04
Williams probably has made as much money at USC than he likely will in his
48:10
first rookie contract, believe it or not. So these guys have a different
48:15
way of looking at it. So is he just kind of a little bit
48:19
of a turnoff or is that just gonna be the way of the modern world.
48:23
Obviously, that's what you have to decide if you Chicago, and obviously
48:28
they have decided they're very comfortable with Chris Landry talking NFL Draft Monday edition of
48:32
the program. Find him on Exit Landry Football also Landry football dot Com.
48:37
Chris, I'll come back to a couple quarterbacks in a minute. I want
48:38
to ask you about the receivers. Obviously, Marvin Harrison Junior, he has
48:43
projected to come off the board as the first receiver. We'll see what happens
48:45
in the Lake Neighbors right there as well. Romodunze. Who who in your
48:50
mind is the best receiver in this draft. I think Marvin Harrison is great.
48:55
I think Mylite Neighbors is great. I think they're on the very top
48:59
of line, and I am comfortable going in either direction of how to stack
49:07
them. But the same grade. I think Romeo Donze is also in that
49:09
same group. I'd put them third in that group, but I think all
49:15
three are going in the top half dozen picks. Well, you know,
49:19
at least seven or eight. I mean, I think there's a couple of
49:22
I don't see this scenario where let's just take top ten. I'm very comfortable
49:28
in saying those guys are definitely coming off the board, and before we go
49:31
to break brock Bowers, when you look at him, you know, obviously
49:36
it looks like he will be a possibly top ten pick, depending on what
49:38
you look at, I mean anywhere from the Jets to the Chargers and some
49:43
others. Your thoughts on his ability at this level, I think he's got
49:49
I hate to throw this name around because people would hear it and say,
49:52
oh, this guy's think this guy's going to be the next But he's got
49:55
Travis Kelsey ability. He's got the ability to make play. He's as a
50:00
weapon, as a not a tight end, but a weapon that can line
50:05
up in different spots formationally and can be indict This guy, I think he
50:13
is. You know, people say he's a luxury pick. I think he's
50:15
a weapon, and I think you have to put him more in the line
50:20
of the big receiver, the flex guy, the flex tight end guy,
50:23
but could also do some things in line. No, I think he is.
50:29
To me, his ability puts him in the category of the Kittles of
50:32
you know, the Kelsey's. I think he has that type of ability.
50:36
It may take him a little while to get there, but I think he's
50:38
special. Chris Andrew on your radio, We've got to take a time out.

51:55
we're talking NFL draft, Chris. When you look at some of the I
52:00
mean we've talked to JJ McCarthy, but we haven't really talked a lot about
52:04
Drake May. What is your thoughts on Drake May. I mean he's slotted
52:08
by the quote unquote experts anywhere from two, three, four, five,
52:14
somewhere in that uh you know, first hour of the draft to go off
52:16
the board. He's got tremendous physical gifts, which is impressed a lot of
52:23
folks. Some people will look at him and say he could be the Justin
52:27
Herbert of this draft with the physical gifts. I'm not quite sure I put
52:30
him right in that category, but he's I see where a lot of people
52:35
in the league see him that way. There's some people, not a lot.
52:39
There's some personnel people in the Lakes to think he's the best quarterback in
52:44
this draft. I think people will have anywhere from most through on their board,
52:52
you know, with the how most people see them, but again some
52:57
have them one and probably h Probably I would say fifty to fifty between Daniels
53:01
and may Uh in terms of how people see him. Yeah, he's gonna
53:05
go very high, and I wonder where the look I mean, I think
53:10
the team to work. I'm not definitely gonna happen. How the first to
53:17
come off. He could be the first two quarterbacks come off. It could
53:22
be Williams and Daniels, and then from my Minnesota crater I did ay.
53:32
I think that'll be interesting to see. But there's no question about Chris Andrew
53:38
talking NFL Draft Money edition of the program. Chris, I'm asking you about
53:42
boon Nicks. He's not listed at least on a lot of you know,
53:45
mock drafts. Is the first round guy, probably off the board's second or
53:47
third round. You know how far off he is from some of these other
53:51
guys. You know, I think he's one of those guys that have second
53:55
round grades by most people. But don't be surprised. Let's say Denver certainly
54:01
is in need of a quarterback, it does not appear that they're going to
54:05
be in a position to move up high enough to get them to get you
54:08
know, one of the top guys. Would they consider taking boat, would
54:13
they move down a little bit? And here's the thing about it. Don't
54:15
rule him out in the first round because if you wait to the second round,
54:22
at the end of the first night you've got you give teams a chance
54:27
that might be interested to move up ahead of you. That's the first thing.
54:30
And two, if you draft a quarterback, even if you've got a
54:34
second round grade, if you draft them in the first round, you got
54:37
the fifth year option, which is important for all players, even more so
54:40
with a quarterback. So I would not rule him out going in the first
54:45
round. I think it has to be obviously the right team. Denver comes
54:49
to mind as somebody that I don't know, Sean Payton might like. We'll
54:53
see, speaking of Denver, Zach Wilson headed to Denver. Any chance that
55:00
Sean Payton can reboot this young man's career, Look, I never say never.
55:05
I think Zack obviously was overdrafted. He was drafted on potential and he
55:09
didn't have enough production. He needs to be rebuilt. I mean, he's
55:15
the confidences is low and this is a new change of pace. Guys like
55:20
that are going to be given chances. Look at the quarterback needy team.
55:24
He's got some starts. I know, because it hasn't been good. People
55:28
say, well, it doesn't matter. It does matter. I mean,
55:30
certainly the experience will help him, and I'm curious to see what he's able
55:36
to do with the with Zach, if anything. Let's shift over to talk
55:38
a little college I've got a couple questions there while I've got you for a
55:42
few more minutes. Here Chris Landry on the radio when you're talking NFL Draft
55:45
College Football one the edition of the program. Find him on x at Landry
55:49
Football, also Landry football dot com. All right, so a lot of
55:52
buzz around arch Manning and his spring game. Now, I know a spring
55:54
game is just a spring game, but he looks bigger. He looks like,
56:00
you know, the ball's coming out even quicker than what it was a
56:01
year ago. You know, obviously with Quinn you were still there. It
56:06
looks like, i mean, being the way, you know, kind of
56:07
the Manning model. Shall we say that he's going to wait his time there
56:10
at Texas. What do you see when you see Arch Manning throw the throw
56:14
the football? Of course, his game got a lot of natural ability,
56:17
moves better than his uncles. He reminds me more of his granddad, you
56:22
know, of how he moves, you know, obviously most of what I've
56:29
seen him coming out of high school. So his ability to throw in the
56:32
move, his natural arm talent. I think obviously he's got the pedigree that
56:37
you've alluded to that it gives him an opportunity to maybe see the game at
56:43
an earlier age differently than others. So yeah, I'm excited to see that
56:47
is a very good quarterback room and kind of got the right attitude. Not
56:52
the prima donna, you know approach, but hey, by your time,
56:57
and you know, I'm I'm sure it's gonna be competition. Yours is the
57:01
guy to beat out. I don't know if he can be beaten out with
57:05
his experience, but looks like they have set them up well. And I
57:08
think when in the recruiting process, the whole family really bought into how Steve
57:15
Starkega teaches, and so I think that's a big part of He's just happy
57:21
being in that environment and he's seeing the end game of Look, you know,
57:24
he doesn't have to start four years. He's just he's when his time
57:28
comes, he's going to play, get experienced, and he's certainly in great
57:32
position. With nil money, did not have to be worried about getting into
57:36
the league sooner. And let's wrap it up one more college quarterback cam Ward
57:40
down at the University of Miami. Of course, it's a big year for
57:44
the Hurricanes. It's a big year for Mario Cristobaul, you know, especially
57:47
with what they've done talent wise. I mean, they need to be I
57:50
would think right in the mix for the ACC Championship. I mean, you
57:53
know, there's he has just underperformed vastly down there at Miami. But when
57:58
you look at the quarterback bringing in from Washington State via you know, incarnate
58:04
word to start out with or war to start out with. What do you
58:07
see when you see this young man? Because he was a guy who was
58:08
flirting with the NFL. Oh absolutely, In fact, he decided to come
58:13
out, pulled his name out, and then because of the nil deals,
58:16
this is a better deal and it makes sense. The guy has been very
58:20
productive. I come from a lot of spread systems, spread concepts, you
58:25
know, gets the ball out quickly, you know, I'm excited to see
58:30
what he can do. They need consistency at quarterback. If you think about
58:34
Miami, still some pretty good athletes, but they have shot themselves in the
58:39
foot in big games mainly due to four quarterback play. That's that'shurt them.
58:44
If they get good quarterback play, could Miami surprised. We know that under
58:47
Maurio that team has been very inconsistent. We know the disaster that was the
58:52
Georgia Tech game and so on and so forth. But I like this quarterback.
58:55
This is an experienced guy that they're not having to develop, but that
59:00
they can plug in and kind of naturally blend into their system. And let's
59:06
finish it up with Missisipi State. I don't know if you've got a chance
59:07
to check out their spring game to obviously, again it is a spring game,
59:10
but Blake Shaping comes over from Baylor and look the part over the weekend
59:15
at least in a spring game format. But I think for Jeff Levy,
59:19
Misissippi State fans a breath of fresh air to see some points scored, even
59:22
if it is in a spring game. Look, I mean, I'd be
59:25
very surprised if they don't start scoring points because that's what Jeff does. He'll
59:30
get there with tempo. You know, it'll take him a while to get
59:34
all the pieces in there. But yeah, I think Blake is a talented
59:37
guy you mentioned from Baylor, another one of those guys that's kind of thrown
59:40
around, and you know, I think has got a lot of natural ability
59:45
to be able to have a lot of success. So I'm very excited to
59:50
see what he can do for them. And yeah, I expect it to
59:52
look a lot different. I mean, I don't know how many points.
59:55
There'll be more points and it'll look a little different than it did last year,
59:59
that for sure. Make sure to find on exit Landry Football Landry football

1:02:30
likely. I could see that one of them is gonna run for mayor of

North Brandon. The other one will be like some big alderman something like that.
1:02:40
All right, let's jump into some of this other stuff that's out there.
1:02:45
Miami. That would be the Miami Hurricanes. Credit to Mario Crystal Ball
1:02:49
with twenty two point seven million in total pay for the twenty twenty two calendar
1:02:52
year. This is I never saw this coming, Miami. Credit to Mario
1:02:59
Crista Ball twenty million in total pay for the twenty twenty two calendar year.
1:03:01
According to Brnt schroten Boor of USA Today, it was a massive amount of
1:03:07
money that included nearly eight million in his base pay. The rest of the
1:03:10
money was quote other reportable compensation. According to the report, want to know
1:03:19
how big this is for crystal Ball. It's the largest single year amount in
1:03:22
history. Quote, the University of Miami paid Florida football coach Mario Crystabal twenty
1:03:27
two point seven million in twenty twenty two, including seven point seven million in
1:03:30
base pay, fourteen point nine million and other reportable compensation, according to the
1:03:35
federal tax return form released by the university Tuesday. To USA Today Sports shroten
1:03:42
Schrotenboer wrote, can you believe this? No? I couldn't even believe it
1:03:46
to begin with, and then I had to because I don't commit to memory
1:03:52
Miami football seasons. I couldn't remember the record five and seven. That's what
1:03:59
you get for twenty two million in twenty twenty two. He was five and
1:04:03
seven. I completely forgot about that. And this is a man. This
1:04:08
one game over five hundred in his career as a head coach. One game
1:04:13
he has one game over five hundred, and that was just last season.
1:04:15
Last season he was seven and six. It's wilds his mind blowing. Goes
1:04:21
on to say, this is the largest ever single year amount for an athletics
1:04:26
department employee on a tax form by a private university, according to USA Today
1:04:30
Sports Research, The university did not go into further details as to why he
1:04:34
was paid that much, except that it paid quote grossed our gross up payments
1:04:40
to crystal Ball and others, payments that cover income taxes so that the recipient
1:04:45
receives a set amount of pay. According to Schrotenboor, the fourteen point nine
1:04:49
million quote other pay is believed to cover the nine million in buyout money owede
1:04:56
to Oregon when crystal Ball came to these code quote. By comparison, the
1:05:00
highest single year of pay for a private university president was only slightly more than
1:05:05
twenty two point eight million for former University of Pennsylvania president Amy Gutman in twenty
1:05:13
twenty one, according to data from the Chronicle of Higher Education. Schrotenboer wrote,
1:05:19
but about eighty nine percent of that came from deferred compensation set aside over
1:05:24
the course of her eighteen year tenure. The Chronicle reported private universities are not
1:05:30
required to disclose employment contracts such as crystal Ball's deal under the public records law,
1:05:36
but they must file a tax return as a nonprofit quote. The high
1:05:41
pay also means the university will take a tax hit in the form of twenty
1:05:45
one percent excise tax on compensation above one million. This is just wild that
1:05:54
Crystal Ball got paid that much money and like you said, to go five
1:05:59
and seven last year. Now I have them winning the ACC this year.
1:06:01
I don't feel any good about it at all. I don't feel good about
1:06:04
it at all. But they play one of the weakest schedules in the country.
1:06:10
It is very loose, very very loose. They've got a ton of
1:06:14
talent. They've got a quarterback who we talked about with Chris Landrey Camward,
1:06:18
who is very well could be the number one quarterback off the board in the
1:06:23
next year's draft. So I mean, this is this is it for cryst
1:06:26
of all right, it's got to be. I mean, that is unbelievable
1:06:32
as far as contract size and what they paid him. Griz Dout y'all have
1:06:40
discussed this, but Tennessee added another all time name to the wide receiver room
1:06:45
to go with Squirrel, Bruh and Chaz where Darius Jackson chose the balls over
1:06:51
State, Ole miss and Auburn. I do want to come back to that,
1:06:54
yeah, because Tennessee is right now they are developing an all world,
1:07:00
all time name team. As far as their wide receivering room, we'll go
1:07:04
back into that a bit let's go together. Matt, Matt, welcome in.
1:07:06
How are you so, Mario? What is he like? The Trump
1:07:11
of college athletics? I guess so? Twenty two dollars? Yeah, one
1:07:21
win over five hundred. Can you believe it? I mean even Billy Nay
1:07:25
peers Shake says that, guess what, he didn't have to pay me a
1:07:28
state income tax? Good for him. Where have you been? Oh?
1:07:32
I've been here. You are here. You were here last week. I
1:07:36
mean I was at work. I just there were several things inside there here
1:07:41
across the hall. It was corporate mumbo jombo, a bunch of You're like
1:07:45
one of those people who says they worn't quote remotely and guess what they're sitting
1:07:50
on the couch and their underwear watching reruns a key hall. That's what you
1:07:55
were doing, he haul Reford. That's fantastic. I've not heard of that
1:07:58
show in a long time. Not why call because all your sports, I
1:08:03
mean, this is a sports show. But what we all really want to
1:08:05
know is what's your favorite song on the new Taylor Swift album? Let me
1:08:12
break that down? I mean, have we not? Have you not listened
1:08:15
to it? What do you think? I have it Beaber. Have you
1:08:17
listened to this new album? You know, Biab's got it. He's laughing
1:08:23
over here, so he's gonna have her see him. So tell me about
1:08:27
this new album. Is it? Is it good? Okay? So this
1:08:31
one was a little different because this one I actually, you know, I
1:08:39
like to know what's going on. I like to know at least what these
1:08:42
new Swifty albums sound like. I like to keeps up with the pop culture
1:08:48
and whatnot. But I listened to half of the first song that's it,
1:08:56
I says, I said, I can't. I can't do it. Now.
1:09:00
I've read plenty of albums. I mean, I've read plenty of album
1:09:03
reviews, plenty of articles over the weekend, and the half of a song
1:09:10
I did here, by the way, it's just the same. It's just
1:09:13
the same old, same old, same old. And then when I read,
1:09:17
when I read things like let's see what was some of the choice the
1:09:26
choice lyrics. There's some song that says, you touch me while your bros
1:09:34
play Grand Theft Auto. There's another song with some fantastic lyrics like I'm watching
1:09:45
American Pie with you on a Saturday night. All your friends are around,
1:09:49
so you've got to be quiet. Those words don't rhyme night and quiet,
1:09:54
don't rhyme. No, this is pitiful like that. Her massive mass tune
1:10:00
that all these Swifties love anti Hero two years ago infuriated me because this girl
1:10:05
rhymed anti Hero with mirror. Oh, by the way, this new this
1:10:13
is why these sad little fourteen year old Swifties, because it broke a record
1:10:21
Friday for the most streamed album of all time, three hundred and thirty million
1:10:27
streams in one day. Oh. Also, let's let's talk about how she

1:14:02
that's what we want it to be. Right, So he's on board now.
1:14:05
So that's what I like about it most. I mean just imagine,
1:14:13
like the play by play on this Ali Amaalva finds bra or Squirrel or Radarius.
1:14:23
I mean, this is this is gonna be really really good. How
1:14:25
do you say the quarterback's name? I am Aliava? Oh you're getting closer,
1:14:30
Ia Malayava. Yeah, I a Maliava, Iya Amalava. We're just
1:14:36
gonna say it all kinds of different ways. Is that okay? Can we
1:14:39
do that? Yeah? Bro, I'm like the way you did that.
1:14:43
Let's see here. Yeah, Nico to Radar is Chris, It's this is
1:14:48
gonna be so good. Let's see here, truroh. Let's just hope Swift
1:14:53
never does a halftime show with Timberlake. What would that be like? Be
1:15:00
help? I don't like to think about that. What is Timberlake doing nowadays?
1:15:06
Does he doing anything? I feel like he came out with some sort
1:15:13
of album. He was doing one of these things where, oh, you
1:15:17
know what I really want to I want to shift my career to really show
1:15:23
what a true artist I him. Oh. No, last thing I saw
1:15:28
about him he was in hot water with his wife because Britney Spears told secrets
1:15:34
on him from twenty years ago. The reds Dog. That is a heck
1:15:40
of a news report there coming out of Penn University, Ernest Ty. Believe
1:15:45
me, the moms are all in on this Swifty crap because their little princess
1:15:51
has got to have it. Nosebleed tickets and her shows over a grand thousand
1:15:57
dollars for one ticket. Ridiculous because I think you looked at him, did
1:16:01
he? And I've looked at him because you know, and that's what I
1:16:04
hate about the little ones. They just don't get it. Ten eleven twelve.
1:16:08
You know, good little girls, let's go to dad, Let's go
1:16:10
see Taylor Swift. Well, we'd have to fork a loan to go see
1:16:15
this. Yeah, if I remember right, the reseale I saw on ticket
1:16:21
Master and this was months ago, months and months ago for a New Orleans
1:16:29
She's coming to New Orleans in October and the resale was fourteen hundred and something
1:16:36
dollars a ticket. Do you think she is a good human being? I
1:16:45
keep hearing reports that she really is, but I just keep hearing these stories
1:16:53
that are just contrary to that. So she'll never do this. But if
1:16:59
she really wanted to, now, she's already got a massive following but like,
1:17:01
if she really wanted to own the world stage, like really own it.
1:17:06
What if she cut her ticket prices on purpose in half so all these
1:17:12
little girls could come see her in their families. Wouldn't that make her like
1:17:17
the Beatles, I mean iconic for generations to come. She'll ever do it.
1:17:24
It's just a thought. Thousand dollars for a Taylor Swift ticket. Un
1:17:29
named Texter. Are you all going to see ce the and Stained concert tonight?
1:17:33
I am not. I am not. It is Monday. I would
1:17:36
like to have gotten out of that. Are you going to that concert tonight?
1:17:41
Let's see here, Let's go back to Gator Matt, Matt, welcome
1:17:44
in. Jay, something you need to understand. You keep setting like doing
1:17:48
it to the little kid, Jake. Probably seventy five eighty, probably ninety
1:17:54
percent of the people with these concerts are age really beaver beaver shaking in agreement.
1:18:05
It's it's my wife. Look, Jay, I almost pulled the trigger.
1:18:11
I was about to ended up being a scam. But Jacob and I'll
1:18:15
admit it, and you can you can bash me when I get off only
1:18:18
but I was about to fork up for four tickets they wanted sixteen hundred,
1:18:25
but I whittled them down well, and I was about to pay twelve hundred
1:18:29
for three for four tickets. Wow for New Orleans. But I'm telling you
1:18:32
it's suger ceedy man, I'm telling you if if you get divorced again,
1:18:36
we'll see it's the next tail. Thanks Mane Twoche very well, Oh man,
1:18:47
that was that was a good Yes, Matt, of course you will.
1:18:50
Let's say, Griz yea, we got the Nicoto radar end ture.
1:18:54
Oh that was a reference to the wardrobe malfunction. Oh well that was the
1:19:00
Jackson Timberlake deal. But yeah, oh, Chero, I knew immediately what
1:19:04
you were going for. But I just wondered, why would it be a
1:19:09
why would that be a terrible thing? Well, it's it's bad for the
1:19:15
TV executives for sure. Well they just blamed it all on Janet Jackson.
1:19:21
Anyway, that is true. All right, let's see here our three coming
1:19:25
up. Let me tell you what we're gonna get into a couple of things
1:19:27

1:21:20
you by Merristar Casino. Get out and play today. You know, I
1:21:26
don't think and of course, uh, catching you up if you just join
1:21:28
us. Stave and Murray joined us. I renumber one talking Mississippi State as
1:21:31
dogs had a spring game this weekend, Blake shape and you know, look
1:21:35
the part in a spring game throwing some touchdown passes us not a lot of
1:21:40
what happened last year in Startville. Chris Slandry joined his four to four thirty
1:21:44
talking NFL Draft. Of course, a lot of NFL draft coverage. Draft
1:21:46
starts on Thursday. How much does this draft you gonna watch? How much
1:21:50
do you watch. I mean, I know everybody's dialed in like Night one,
1:21:54
but then are you dialed in the second night? And then Saturday Night
1:22:00
one is until Friday or Friday. Excuse me, psych that's the WWE draft
1:22:06
starts Friday. Why are you playing with my mind today? I was to
1:22:11
say, what did the draft change to Friday? They are literally doing a
1:22:15
WWE draft, and they are doing it to pluay specifically during the NFL draft,
1:22:21
to catch well out of the two to ride the wave of the NFL
1:22:27
draft. These sports are not the same. I'm sorry, uh use sport
1:22:31
loosely we're talking about wrestling. But anyway, I didn't even know that wrestling
1:22:36
did a draft. Yeah, I thought wrestlers just poof popped about it nowhere.
1:22:42
Well, this is this is how they they'll they'll draft a wrestler from
1:22:47
raw to SmackDown, from SmackDown to raw. It's how they change up their
1:22:51
roster. So you're watching different people. Really, So do they have like
1:22:57
rookies, like draft them out of some gym, some league, like with
1:23:00
the forty seventh pick, Rall picks x y Z wrestler from the gym out
1:23:06
in Mindenhall? How do they do this. It is so confusing to me
1:23:12
all of a sudden. Yeah, they have their their farm system called n
1:23:15
XT. Oh okay, but anyway, let's get back to the the actual
1:23:19
draft, the NFL Draft. How much will I watch? Yeah, I
1:23:24
always watch almost just about every minute of the first round. Thursday night,
1:23:32
I'll watch the whole thing, or you know, as long as as long
1:23:36
as amb allows me, yeah, to watch it, but I'll watch.
1:23:41
I'll watch almost the full thing. Now Friday, well, Friday, it
1:23:45
starts at six o'clock and I'm still here. We're both still here. Yep,
1:23:53
you although you duck out like six oh one. So but now I'll
1:24:00
heap up with it. But generally on Friday, I maybe watch ten fifteen
1:24:09
minutes of it, and then Sunday I don't watch it. So on Saturday.
1:24:14
See, now you're messing with my mind. I'm going back. We
1:24:17
made this switch in two thousand and nine. It hasn't been on Sunday since
1:24:24
two thousand and eight. Yeah, and I just put it back there apparently,
1:24:28
Yeah, because they cut the draft. Yeah, now you're right,
1:24:30
Saturday Saturday. I'm sorry, But anyway, Saturday I generally don't watch.
1:24:34
It's fast Saturday so fast it just flies to it. I mean you can
1:24:38
literally, if you're trying to watch the draft at the house or whatever,
1:24:42
and you leave and do something for fifteen minutes, you're gonna miss like twenty
1:24:45
seven picks. So I mean, it's really hard to keep up with unless
1:24:48
you're just sitting there watching it. Let's see here, res dog, you
1:24:51
can text a six or one eighty five three seven seven six. Blake Shaping
1:24:55
is the best quarterback in the state. Do you uh are we fixedly start
1:25:00
getting the Blake's Shaping campaign for Heisman or something? What? It sounds like
1:25:09
a dog's starting it better than Jackson Dart and res doc res doc Come on,
1:25:17
what are you doing over here? I don't know. I haven't I'm
1:25:23
not a no, not yet because I haven't seen him. I didn't and
1:25:27
watched the kid at Baylor. No, he's not better than Jackson Dart.
1:25:30
No, no, not at all. But look, he's a guy that
1:25:33
can play in the system. Chris Andrew talked about it, that can put
1:25:35
points on the board. And if Missippi State you got to get those points
1:25:39
up. And if you go back and look last year for Mississippi State,
1:25:43
obviously it's a totally new team. It's a totally new coaching staff. I
1:25:46
mean when I say a totally new team and literally four starters back, but
1:25:49
that is a totally totally new team for Mississippi State. I mean, you're
1:25:54
talking about the average twenty two points a game, and it didn't even feel
1:25:58
like that. Did it feel like they are even average twenty two points a
1:26:00
game? No, it seems far worse. Well, they scored forty eight
1:26:04
last year against Southeastern Louisiana and they scored forty one against Western Michigan. So
1:26:11
I mean, you take those two and forty one against Southern Miss, So
1:26:15
you take those forty spots off the board, and that's gonna come way down.
1:26:18
I mean, they did put thirty one on the board against Arizona,
1:26:23
but in Southeastern Conference play last year, they put fourteen on the board against
1:26:26
LSU, thirty against South Carolina, seventeen against Alabama, seven against Arkansas,
1:26:33
thirteen against Auburn, three against Kentucky, ten against Texas A and M seven
1:26:40
against Ole Miss. That's not good. That's very, very bad. So
1:26:45
they want that number to come up drastically. Tiger bait arch Manning showed out
1:26:51
in the spring game. Say it again for those in the back there,
1:26:55
tiger bait. Say it again for those in the back arch Manning. I'm
1:26:59
told you it's inevitable, Tiger bay. Okay, real quick. The iPhone
1:27:01
it does have a function where you can unsend a text, like within two
1:27:05
minutes. Please unsend that. Don't get this dude started on arch Manning again.
1:27:11
And by this dude, I mean Jacob Blimberley. I am so excited
1:27:15
to see arch Manning play. It's gonna be fun. He's not gonna play
1:27:19
this year. He said he's an entry guy, so I don't think they
1:27:26
have that option. I don't know that to be true. Maybe they don't
1:27:28
so, and that's okay though I love that text. No, arch Manning
1:27:31
is he'll play some maybe this year. But I mean he's gonna buy his
1:27:35
time. That's what the Mannings do, right. Eli ball his time and
1:27:40
Peyton got thrust in action due to injury in front of him. But we'll
1:27:45
see, all right, let me get into some of these other stories out
1:27:48
here. Dion Sanders Ryan Day among college football coaches facing the most pressure to
1:27:55
win entering the twenty twenty fourth season, from title contenders to rebuilders. These
1:28:00
coaches here are on this piece are under a major pressure to produce. She
1:28:05
han uh and I can't never remember his last name. We'll call him Jay
1:28:10
Shanjay from CBS Sports dot Com. All Right, So when you look at
1:28:13
Ryan Day, and we've talked about this, now that the second window is
1:28:16
open, spring practices, finishing up rosters are pretty much being finalized, and
1:28:21
for the most part, already there. I mean, you're gonna see some
1:28:24
additions. Almost picks up a running back over the weekend, Miami picks up
1:28:27
a running back, You'll see you know, Auburn picks up a defensive line,
1:28:30
and you're gonna see stuff like that. But Ryan Day is, without
1:28:34
a doubt, under the most pressure in college football this year Ohio State.
1:28:39
And when you look at what Michigan was able to accomplish this past year winning
1:28:44
a national title, they have beaten now Ohio State three straight years. It
1:28:48
is I mean, I don't want to say it's national championship or bust,
1:28:51
but it better be national championship appearance or bust for Ryan Day. I mean,
1:28:57
that's that's literally is that billion napier. We know this, he's on
1:28:59
lot. So let me ask you this. Let's let's play this game,
1:29:02
Ryan Day. Is he back in twenty five or is he gone? Percentage
1:29:08
of a chance he is back at Ohio State next year. I think common
1:29:16
sense will take over when they go ten and two, eleven and one,
1:29:28
Well, they'll they'll likely beat Michigan this year, and that's that's apparently all
1:29:32
they want. I know, they say step one beat Michigan, step two
1:29:36
National Championship. No, because you're calling a coach. You've been questioning your
1:29:43
own coach who's lost eight games in his Ohio State career. So that's not
1:29:49
common sense. Clearly he's only lost eight games. But it just so happens
1:29:55
that what three in a row now to Michigan. Yeah, that's right,
1:29:58
just so happens that three. I've been to Michigan. So you're losing your
1:30:01
brain. So, yeah, they'll beat Michigan this year. They'll be like
1:30:05
ten and two, eleven and one. Common sense will take over it.
1:30:09
And yes, I say seventy one percent he'll be back next year or twenty
1:30:15
five. Fifty six and eight is his coaching record. Think about that,
1:30:19
fifty six and eight. But now I think I've got them going out in
1:30:25
the final four of the playoff. I think they get the playoff. I
1:30:27
think they'll probably win the Big Ten. They're gonna get beat in the final
1:30:30
four of the playoff. I don't think they'll make the national championship. Again,
1:30:32
that's just me. I would have him back as well. Let's do
1:30:34
one more real quick before we take a time out. How about let's see
1:30:41
where there we go, Billy Navier. Chance he's gonna be back next year
1:30:46
twenty twenty five, m Florida football head coach thirty two per sense. I
1:30:55
think it's way below fifty, way below fifty. I just don't see.
1:31:00
And again, you know, you got to play the schedule that you dealt,
1:31:03
and this is arguably the toughest schedule ever produced in college football. Literally,
1:31:06
it's right that I can't I don't think i've ever seen this. Your
1:31:12
bookend with Miami and Florida State to out of front conference teams and you're playing
1:31:15
Central Florida that very well will could beat you this year. So and of
1:31:20
course you've got your normal SEC rugged road matches as well. Let's see here,
1:31:26
res dog what seed will shape and have Mississippi State in the playoffs.
1:31:30
I like this. Let me think about that over the break and we'll come
1:31:33

Shaping, I'd be shocked. It's got to be a two seed. So
1:34:01
Billy and Apu gave a thirty three percent chance to come back thirty two thirty
1:34:05
two we well, Lincoln Riley Sky USC vastly has underperformed. Think going to
1:34:13
the Big Ten now supposed to have another all world quarterback waiting in the wings.
1:34:18
Will he'd be back next year? Yeah, I don't think he's I
1:34:23
don't think he's in any danger. Caleb Williams production last year went down.
1:34:30
I get that defense was there was almost no defense. Defense was terrible.
1:34:36
But now usc the money they're giving him, the past success, the name
1:34:44
Lincoln Riley, the quote unquote quarterback whisperer. Should we put that on the
1:34:49
list? By the way overused phrases? Oh, I think so, Yeah,
1:34:53
I'll put that on the list. So I don't think he's in any
1:34:56
danger. One hundred percent. I think he'll be back even if they go
1:34:59
like eight and five. Yeah, i'd say ninety percent chance, ninety percent
1:35:03
chance that he comes back. I can't. I'm not shocked, but I'm
1:35:11
shocked he's on this list. Kaitlin de boor Alabama. Will he'd be back
1:35:19
in twenty twenty five? Yes, come on, he hasn't even coached a
1:35:23
game. But I mean that's gonna be the thing. I mean the first
1:35:27
time he loses. Oh yeah, it's gonna be. Yeah, we've anticipated
1:35:33
this ever since actually before Nick Saban retired, because there's there was you don't
1:35:41
there was always the phrase which you repeated a bunch. You don't want to
1:35:45
be the guy following the guy. How we know the guy following the guy
1:35:50
is DeBoer? But I like the way. I don't know that I've ever
1:35:55
heard you speak in like a redneck tone, but you just did. De
1:35:59
Bauer. Is that what they're calling him over there? I like to think
1:36:03
so, I would think that, how did you say? They get DeBoer?
1:36:09
And you know they are? You know that they are. There is
1:36:12
a segment of that population of that fan base its pronouncing that name that way.
1:36:16
You know who's pronouncing it that way? Cattleman and not on purpose either,
1:36:21
It's just they What do you think about this Debauer? Yeah, I'm
1:36:29
sure that somewhere out there he is doing that. Chance he comes back,
1:36:34
yeah, they put him on the list. Mario Cristobal Miami. Too much
1:36:41
money wrapped up. I mean, look, they should win ten ball games.
1:36:45
They should be in the playoff. They really really should. There is
1:36:49
no excuse for the University of Miami to miss this playoff. Again. Let
1:36:56
me just tell you this. Gargantuan schedule that the Miami football Hurricanes have.
1:37:03
Now they open up at Florida, their favorite. They will be a favorite
1:37:09
in that ballgame. They shouldn't lose that game. But if Florida wins that
1:37:13
game, the hot seat is gonna start. But then after that, Florida
1:37:15
and m ball State at South Florida. Now that's a game that you don't
1:37:20
want to go in there half cocked. A lot of people feel like South
1:37:24
Florida's gonna make a chance. You know, they're gonna make a run at
1:37:27
the AAC Championship. Virginia Tech at Cal, Bye Week at Louisville, Florida
1:37:33
State Duke at Georgia Tech Wake Forest, after by week in Syracuse. What
1:37:41
a horrible schedule. They should win ten ball games. I mean, Virginia
1:37:48
Tech maybe kind of some sort of threat. Possibly they got a good quarterback
1:37:57
for sure, and they I don't want to say they've turned the cornerback the
1:38:00
other way. This will be a better Virginia Tech team than they've had over
1:38:02
the last several years. And are they going to Cal? Yes, maybe
1:38:14
Cal could scare them. I just I don't think Col would win that game.
1:38:19
But but just scared. You're on to something talent wise, quarterback wise,
1:38:25
everything. This should be a team that runs the schedule. Honestly,
1:38:29
they should. They should run this schedule twelve and top quarterback in next year's
1:38:35
class, at least on paper, the best talent in the ACC except for
1:38:41
Florida State, better than Clemson. They don't play Clemson, they do host
1:38:47
Florida State. But I could see if Mario Crystabal does this Mario crystal ball
1:38:53
thing, they'll lose to Florida, They'll lose at South Florida, they'll lose
1:38:59
at California yea, and they'll lose to Florida State and probably go seven to
1:39:03
five. That's that's literally the Mario crystaball way. Let's see here the rail
1:39:12
line named Texter. He pulls in Ellis Johnson then gone, oh talking is
1:39:17
he to my deboor Dexter I'm a forty year Oldkaine, no excuses, get
1:39:21
it done. I agree with you, dexter On. I mean, this
1:39:27
is at least I think Miami should win the ACC. I have them projected
1:39:33
to win the ACC. They should be in that playoff. They should get
1:39:35
a bye and be in the playoff. It's what they should be now.
1:39:38
After that roll the hat out and see what happens, Johnny Vegas, Ole
1:39:42
Miss wins the Natty? How much money you think will be bet in the
1:39:45
state on all Miss to win the National Title? Well, I didn't know
1:39:48
ready Teddy's gonna do it if he hadn't done it already. What do you
1:39:51
see out there? Hold on? You know, I always like to look
1:39:56
at that when I can see the text history. Yeah, all right,
1:40:00
Johnny Vegas, what's happening here? So his last text came on February nineteenth.
1:40:06
First off, where have you been? But the last text says it's
1:40:12
the Razorbacks year. But then here we are two months later and now it's
1:40:17
all Miss. Maybe it's the transfer portal has swayed him. Okay, And
1:40:26
well we knew by February nineteenth that kJ Jefferson was not coming back to Arkansas,
1:40:31
that he was off and running six our one, eight, five,
1:40:33
three, seven, seven six unnamed Texas. Texas will win it all this
1:40:38
year, or we'll win it this year. I have Texas in the National
1:40:43
Championship game. I have them losing to Oregon for the night. I have
1:40:46
Oregon win in the National Title beating Texas. But I could see a scenario.
1:40:50
Here's the thing, I really think it is this close. It's razor
1:40:53
thin at the top. I could make a case for Georgia to win it,
1:40:57
Texas to win it, Oregon, and Ohio State. Outside of those
1:41:00
four, I don't know that ole Miss is gonna be good enough to play
1:41:04
and beat those teams. I think ole Miss is in the playoff. But
1:41:09
do you think it's razor thin at the top of those four Texas, Georgia,
1:41:15
Ohio State, and Oregon. Yeah, I can absolutely see that one
1:41:20
hundred now. I mean again, it's not out of it, believe it
1:41:27
or not. And a lot of people in this state will not want to
1:41:30
look this in the face and see it. Ole Miss is not far off
1:41:34
those teams. I could see ole Miss making the final four if the bracket
1:41:41
is right and the matchup is right. Ole Miss has to host Penn State
1:41:47
in the first round. You think they're worried about that at home? No,
1:41:53
they already beat them on a neutral field last year in Georgia. And
1:41:56
then let's say their next matchup is an undefeated or one lost Miami team.
1:42:01
Who you taking Krystal Ball or Kiffin. They beat them on a neutral site.
1:42:08
Ole missus in the final four boom, Just like that, it can
1:42:12
happen. Let's see here, Gator, Matt Jay, don't sleep on Utah,
1:42:19

1:43:49
Vegas has almost win in the Natty heit Her Matt says, Jay, don't
1:43:54
sleep on Utah. Hey, look, Utah could win the pack, win
1:43:57
the Big twelve and be right in this thing. But I don't think that
1:43:59
they have the horses here. Unnamed Texas. Texas will win it this year,
1:44:03
miss a year, and then win two back to back. Look,
1:44:10
I don't have a problem with that projection. I think they're gonna be right
1:44:13
there as long as they continue what they're doing right now. Steve Sarkisian in
1:44:17
the quarterback room that they have and continue to produce. I mean, Texas
1:44:21
is not going anywhere. And I know there is a lot, and I
1:44:25
say a lot, there is a contingent And I don't particularly know what that
1:44:28
percentage is of Southeastern Conference fans that believe, Oh, Texas is about to
1:44:31
find out they stubbing it into the conference. Southeastern Conference. Man, No,
1:44:35
that Texas is as good as anybody in the Southeastern Conference. As good
1:44:43
as anybody in the Southeastern Conference. All right, let me see here before
1:44:46
I get into these playoff projections for possumneck Joe, we look back over here
1:44:51
and get you caught up on a couple other things again if you missed it
1:44:56
earlier today, let's see Miss State women's basketball lands the number one JUCO guard
1:45:03
and the country and All American Destiny McFall, So she will play in Startville.
1:45:11
Also, former pit edge rusher Deon Hayes is committed to Colorado. All
1:45:18
right, so beave. You've got two texts here you need to address.
1:45:21
One says Texas will win it this year, miss a year and then go
1:45:24
back to back. That would if that happens, that would put my inevitable
1:45:29
statement two years ago on octremanding one as a fact, How in the world
1:45:39
where did we arrive at winning three national titles in four years? Well,
1:45:47
I know they were regular season good last year, but that's quite the leap
1:45:54
this texture has them. When they were in the playoffs this past year,
1:45:58
they got pinixed. People got pinics except Michigan. Michigan did get pinicked.
1:46:02
They pinixed Pinis. But that would have viewers winning it and then losing it
1:46:09
and then arch Manning winning back to back before going to the NFL. Oh,
1:46:16
you know what? Or text history again? This same texter. Actually
1:46:24
March sixth, they texted, Texas will win the next three out of four.
1:46:28
Okay, I gotta respect your conviction. Then you've been saying that for
1:46:31
six weeks. I can't see it, But why not? Are you a
1:46:36
four the bay? It's not likely they may. They got as good a
1:46:43
talent as anybody in the country. They got the best quarterback room in the
1:46:45
country. They're gonna have skill talent, and they got tons of money to
1:46:49
burn in nil All right, let's see here, possumnk Joe Beaver. Is
1:46:55
it just my imagination? But it seems every time I tune in, Jake
1:46:59
is saying someone should make the playoffs. I think he's up to forty three
1:47:01
teams. Am I up to forty three teams seem rice really well? Let
1:47:08
me tell you. And I haven't put this out yet. There's tons of
1:47:10
stuff that you can go read on cfbiglass dot com, a lot of team
1:47:14
pieces, individual pieces. I think there's somewhere close to thirty new team articles
1:47:17
up there you can go read on college football projections. I have not put
1:47:21
my playoff out. I've got Oregon winning the whole thing. But I will
1:47:25
tell you this is the way I've got the bracket set. Now again,
1:47:29
this could change the number of ways. But here's I have Ole Miss as
1:47:32
an eight seed, taken on Florida State, a nine seed, in one
1:47:39
of the first round games playoff game in Oxford. Now think about what they'd
1:47:43
be like Ole Miss, Florida State in Oxford. I think that place will
1:47:45
be buzzing a little bit. My second first round game is in Austin,
1:47:51
Texas. Texas five seed hosts number twelve Liberty because Liberty will win Conference USA,
1:48:00
They'll go un defeated and they'll go get destroyed in Texas. I've got
1:48:04
Oregon hosting in Eugene, number eleven, penn State, and then I've got
1:48:11
Notre Dame hosting Tennessee and the buys that I have, I have the Miami
1:48:15
Hurricanes winning the ACC with a bye. I have Central Florida now again.
1:48:21
The Big Twelve is a smorgas board. I mean Central Florida's gonna be right
1:48:25
there. Kansas State, Utah and Arizona Oklahoma State will have a say.
1:48:30
But I have Central Florida winning the Big Twelve and getting a bye because they
1:48:33
will own one of the four at large bids. I have them with a
1:48:41
bye. I have Ohio State with a bye, and I have Georgia with
1:48:43
a bye. But then in my playoff bracket, I have Ole Miss taken
1:48:47
on Miami and the Peach Bowl. Just makes sense to me. I have
1:48:51
Central Florida taken on Texas and the Fiesta Bowl, Ohio State taken on Oregon
1:48:57
a rematch for regular season in the Rose, and I have Georgia taken on
1:49:01
Tennessee if Tennessee in the playoff knocking out and Notre Dame in the first round.
1:49:05
I mean nico Ia a'm aliva say I did it again. I'm the
1:49:12
olive it no Nico to roach and the squirrel into possumneck. I mean,
1:49:18
all those receivers, I've got them taken on Georgia, and then I've got
1:49:23
Miami beating Ole Miss in the second round advancing to the final four. I've
1:49:27
got Texas knocking out Central Florida advancing to the final four. That would put
1:49:31
a Cotton Bowl match up Miami versus Texas. And then I've got Oregon knocking
1:49:36
Ohio State out in the second round. And then I've got Georgia defeating Tennessee,
1:49:43
setting up an Oregon Georgia matchup, which would be awesome, Dan Lanning
1:49:47
taking on his old boss Kirby Smart Oregon Georgia and Miami in Texas. And
1:49:54
then I've got let's see that should be so that would if you use the
1:50:00
bowl system, which they are, that would pit Cotton Bowl Miami versus Texas,
1:50:04
and i got Texas advancing to the National Title Game. And then I've
1:50:08
got Oregon up ending Georgia and the FedEx Orange Bowl, and then that gives
1:50:14
me Organ versus Texas in the National Title Game. In Organ, he's your
1:50:17
champion. That's who I've got. So, Joe, it's not forty three.
1:50:21
Let's see res Dog your picks suck res Dog. There's plenty of room
1:50:30
right now on the Oregon bandwagon, tons of room. I mean, who
1:50:34
doesn't like Ducks And I guarantee you Red Dog is a Ducks unlimited member.
1:50:42
At least they're not geese. Okay, I got one big question though.
1:50:47
I'm surprised at one pick, and that's you said you have Miami knocking out
1:50:56
Oh Miss. The only reason I'm surprised is because you have been pounding it
1:51:02
in our brains how high you are on this Ole Miss team. Well,
1:51:05
and we were just talking in an hour ago about Crystal Ball nowhere near living
1:51:15
up to expectations, being way overpaid. So I'm surprised at this. Well,
1:51:23
the analytics point me in that direction. I don't believe them on this,
1:51:28
not on Miami. But that's the matchups. I mean, Miami would
1:51:31
be a slight favorite against I think O'll miss Miami and the Peach Bowl in
1:51:35
the second round would be an unbelievable matchup. I think almost would have a
1:51:39
I mean, they'd be right there. So I wouldn't be shocked to see
1:51:41
Ole Miss in the final four against Texas, which would be really interesting,
1:51:45
Lane Kiff and Steve Sarkesian with a chance winner goes to the National Championship Game.

1:53:02
Speaking to Miami Miami edgresser Jaden Wayne plans to enter the transfer portal. He
1:53:08
was a top one hundred and twenty twenty three recruit. All right, let's
1:53:12
see here, res Dog, outside of Michigan, your picks have been loser,
1:53:17
looser than Morgan Wallan groupies. I'm taking the field now, res Dog.
1:53:23
Look, if you would have invested over the years in Whim's winners,
1:53:28
you would likely be on the level of like somebody that bought into bitcoin back
1:53:32
at seven hundred bucks, back at seven hundred bucks. Are you, by
1:53:36
the way, are you jumping in on this bitcoin tright now that the havings
1:53:40
and all this stuff is happening, and what supposely it's fixing a skyrocket up
1:53:45
again? Really what they say? Probably back on this? Yeah, how
1:53:48
long has it been supposed to do this? Well, let's been living it
1:53:50
around. Let's look at let's just look today. You know what while you
1:53:55
look at that, that reminds me speaking of this Morgan Wallen character. You
1:54:01
know he finally quote broke his silence. Did you see this? No son
1:54:05
of a bee? He made a statement over the weekend meaningless nothingness, predictable
1:54:15
pr words he said. He used the phrase, I'm not proud of my
1:54:19
behavior really, that's every word that everybody who ever gets in trouble says.
1:54:27
I'm not proud of my behavior. I've how do you put it? I've
1:54:30
apologized to the police and because remember the name of the bar was Chiefs,
1:54:34
I've apologized to the police and the fine people at Chiefs. Phony, fake
1:54:44
pr spin garbage. Yeah, I don't buy it. I don't buy it.
1:54:49
Did he show up for his concert last night in Oxford? I don't
1:54:54
know, and I didn't see that. Let's see, Bitcoin is Beaver's market
1:55:00
watch. It's trending up a little bit one point five six percent. I
1:55:03
mean, you can get one bitcoin right now for just over sixty six thousand
1:55:06
dollars. But you can buy in you know, pennies on the dollar if
1:55:10
you want to sixty six thousand, but you can, so it's worth sixty
1:55:18
six thousand. Well, if you own one, buy sixty six you can
1:55:21
buy for sixty six cents one bitcoin. No, sixty six thousand dollars.
1:55:28
So if I want to buy one, I will have to pay sixty six
1:55:30
thousand. Yeah, but you can buy shares of it. So, I
1:55:32
mean, if you want to put in one hundred bucks and start investing in
1:55:36
it, you know, I mean if you go back and look at the
1:55:39
five year trent, I mean seriously, like bitcoin back in let's see here.
1:55:45
Nope, let's don't do that. All the way back in May tenth
1:55:53
of twenty nineteen. I mean, you were at seven thousand dollars for a
1:55:55
bitcoin, one bitcoin, and you know you could get them even back further
1:55:59
than that. But I mean they spiked. The spike was around twenty twenty,
1:56:05
late twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, where they jumped from thirteen thousand
1:56:11
to fifty eight thousand. There's people's made real money on it, real money
1:56:17
for sure. I never hear about these people though, I mean they're there.
1:56:23
I don't buy. I still don't buy a single word. You and
1:56:26
beast man Steve are the only two people in the world still trying to pump
1:56:30
this trash. No, I mean, it's it's it's a thing. So
1:56:34
do you think I bet res Dog owns a bitcoin. I'm not gonna put
1:56:40
that on res Dog. He spends his money on wiser things. Let's see
1:56:45
here, what else is there today? Let me get to so Kayla Williams
1:56:49
puts himself on a pedestal surprise surprise while discussing his attitude towards other rookie quarterbacks.
1:56:58
Cali Williams, as we know to be selected, or at least projected
1:57:00
right now by all accounts, the first overall pick on Thursday Night's draft.
1:57:03
There's no debate at this point in the process. It's pretty much decided Williams
1:57:09
will be the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears next season. Of this coming
1:57:12
year, and his anger towards Spencer Ratler explains why the organization did not leave
1:57:18
room for an open competition. In his eyes, that is how it should
1:57:24
be. The former USC and Oklahoma signal caller fully believes that he is the
1:57:30
best player in the NFL draft class from top to bottom. His Heisman Trophy
1:57:34
backs up that claim, though Jaden Daniels also one has one on his resume,
1:57:40
that doesn't matter. Williams is fully sure of himself and the abilities he
1:57:43
has to the point that ches the line between conviction and haughtiness. On one
1:57:51
end, it's a great thing to have the top player in the country believe
1:57:55
in what he does nothing short of perfection. On the other end, he
1:57:59
needs to be prepared for an extremely thick smoke if he struggles to make the
1:58:02
transition to the next level. Williams pro day was the perfect representation of all
1:58:09
of this. Kevin Williams believes he believes he is the best, and on
1:58:14
a recent podcast, The Pivot Podcast, Williams said that it was in part
1:58:19
let's see what did he say here? He says, if you look at
1:58:23
the stats, I'm the most dead center. It's just I make more highlights
1:58:30
and that's what they show. I make more highlights than anybody. So he's
1:58:33
extremely confident in his abilities, he says, I'm He continued and said that,
1:58:38
you know, talking about the other quarterbacks, Drake May, he says,
1:58:42
not Daniels, not May, not J J. McCarthy, nobody.
1:58:45
He says, I'm the furthest from all of them in every single way.
1:58:48
I can do anything and everything I want. What do you think about this?
1:58:54
Okay, So to be completely fair, this he's not the first quarterback
1:58:59
we've seen in with this kind of confidence, all this confidence. You've got
1:59:05
to have it, I guess. But I don't know how you can claim
1:59:11
that because the one thing I did see and now it especially holds true for
1:59:16
me after you tell me that he said, what I'm the most dead center.
1:59:25
Okay, right, you look at the who's considered the top quarterbacks between
1:59:30
Caleb Williams, Drake May Daniels. Out of those three, one of them
1:59:40
every year for the past few years of their college career, one of them,
1:59:46
completion percentage went up year after year. Passing yards went up year after
1:59:51
year, touchdowns went up year after year, interceptions went down ever so slightly.
1:59:58
Rushing yards went up year after year. And that's Daniels, that is
2:00:03
true. That's not May, and it's not Williams. So I get this
2:00:10
is what these players coming in say, but numbers don't really back it up.
2:00:16
I'm not saying he's terrible, but also the highlights I make more highlights.
2:00:23
The last high pick at quarterback the Bears picked also had highlights his time
2:00:30
there. Justin fields? How'd that work out? Highlights? That tills you
2:00:38
are more concerned with highlights than consistency. That's what I take from that,
2:00:42
same as justin fields. Well, he's gonna I have every shot, every
2:00:45
chance to do this. Let's seehet center of the US government holds at least
2:00:47
five bon and sees bitcoins of June twenty three. RHTT says it i believe
2:00:54
that. Possibly think Joe, my family made fun of me for wearing sketchers
2:00:59
and buying in when they first came out. I said they would be big
2:01:03
one day, starting around two dollars now fifty eight dollars a share. How
2:01:06
about that? Look at Joe. See Joe is telling you that he bought
2:01:12
in early on bitcoin, is what he's telling you. Unnamed Texter Drake may
2:01:16
will go further in the NFL. He could, And again a lot of
2:01:20
it's going to depend on what they put around these guys. And but we
2:01:23
know that. But so you think Kayler Williams could go the direction of Justin
2:01:31
Fields, I don't. I think he'll have a better showing than Fields,
2:01:43
but I don't see like a pro Bowl. No, not not that far
2:01:50
better than Justin Fields. Let's say that fair enough. More draft coverage tomorrow.
2:01:56
Also, we'll get to some of these stories I didn't get a chance
2:01:57
to hit on the nc double A a lot of NFL today. Getting this
2:02:00
Dak Prescott story tomorrow as well, thanks to David Murray. Also Chris Landry
2:02:03
jumping in where Att sends you a Forbes article. Beaver, you can read
2:02:08
on this bitcoin hostage taking by the federal government. Remember catch up his King.
