  Speaker 3: text messages about emails that he's getting for SEC Media Day.

  Speaker 3: And what they do is like anytime that someone's going

• 1:13
  Speaker 3: send everyone an email, Hey, would you like to, you know,

  Speaker 3: get a time ready for this person? Whoever that person
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: might be. He could sit down and you know, we're

• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Flynn gets, he's like, Hey, who the hell is this person.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say who he asked about because the
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: guy's a legend. I respect the guy too much. I'm
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: not going to throw him under the bus. But Flynn's
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: panicing already about having to interview people he doesn't know.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I do get why Flynn didn't know who that was.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: In fairness to Flynn really though, Matt. Yeah, the people
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Matt doesn't know that one's not that shocking. They're coming
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: from him. This guy's also not still like currently in
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: the he just retired.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, But all right, that was pretty tough
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: for Flynn last year. I gotta I gotta back my
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: boy up a little bit. He got the job during
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: LSU winning a national championship in baseball, a sport in
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: which he had done a deep dive into. He came
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: into it at the very end of the season, and
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: then right after that we ship him off the SEC
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: media days. We should. Actually, I'm sitting here and I'm
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: thinking about it. I'm gonna I think I'm gonna come
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: up with I'm gonna come up with a list of
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: like made up names and made up titles of who
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: the person is, and I'm gonna send it to Matt,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna format it where it's like a Monday,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna put like four names in Tuesday, Wednesday. I'm
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: gonna put like different names in and they're gonna be random,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: like just the most random things you've ever heard. I
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: need you all to back me up, not give it away.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm so game for Yeah.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be like, hey, we're gonna have the guy
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: who made the new Rydale helmet. Like he's kind of
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: he's going around, he's talking about the new helmets that
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: he made and the new design for concussions, and he's
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: gonna come sit down with us.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: It would be perfect. It's like a coach. I can't
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: wait that's asking him about helmets.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Coaches don't have another guy. The SEC is putting a
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: guy in charge of mental training for all SEC football players. Yeah, right,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: So he's gonna sit down with us. We're gonna talk
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: to like some mental therapy with him as well.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: You should trick him into thinking that there's actually like
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: a hydration person now and he needs to like try
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: to get in with that guy from my high.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Like or just like, hey, we're gonna have an expert
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: in hydration. He's gonna come on the show. The SEC
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: is kind of asking if anybody wanted him, and since
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: he knows so much about hydration, I figured our show
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: would be perfect for him, right, just to like almost
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: make him mad, like nobody knows more about hydration than
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the King of Hyde.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: That or he thinks he's gonna get a deal.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Done that says at the bottom of his email, should
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: we do like, I don't know. He gets pretty worked
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: up as somebody if he thinks somebody knows more about
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: hydration than him.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Either one a fake player would be funny. It's like
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: they did it to Gronk.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Remember they made up the fake Cowboys tight end and
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: then he was like, yeah, you should.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Make it like the most like Georgia quarterback. Yeah possible.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: It was Gunner stocked him before.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Rob vander Slouth.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Something just like generic but sounds Real's.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Something Braxton, something.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: That sounds like a guy.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: It sounds like a Kentucky quarterback that does.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Nobody knows anything about anyway, So let's just go with
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: that Kentucky quarterback friendly.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: We're gonna come up with a list and we're like, hey,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Matt and I'm gonna sit in the group chat and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: y'all can't say anything. I'm like, hey, here's our first
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: three days a media day. On top of the players
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that are going to be there, Yeah, they scheduled these guys,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: so I want you to kind of do some research
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: on them. And he's not gonna be able to find anything.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: He's gonna panicea.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Now, I wonder if he'll say he wasn't able to
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: find anything, or he'll be like, I didn't have time
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: to research it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: He says that a lot, but.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: He's also going to be incredibly nervous. I love this.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I love it. And he doesn't get into like eleven
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: pm on Sunday.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Night, he's gonna be on island time.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that man is not gonna be trying to like
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: research some fake name on Saint Bart's not at all.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: So like that morning, be like, hey, did you get
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: a chance to look at Vandersleuth's profile?
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: Bro He's been oh, yeah, yeah, I looked at it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I looked at it. He's got bad mechanics. But he's
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: gonna get arm how far.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Like he's gonna go pretty far.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: How far do we want to go? I will go
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: get somebody to sit down.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: No, we need to find somebody that looks like look
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: and he would not know who he is.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: No, he'd have no idea who JD was.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Yes, you need to go JD and be like your
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: name is Brock vanderslu.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: He would buy into it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, we're doing D looks like a BRONC too,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: that looks.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Like that plays quarterback at Georgia, and I mean that
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: very nice way.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got some insane quads.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: He played for it. Should we Cornell and Baylor?
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Should we remember Baylor?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Cornell.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Should we do Georgia because he's gonna know Gunner Stockton?
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: What if you did like that? I feel like talk
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: about j Curtis.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: I feel like Matt wouldn't know that Gunner is coming back.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: He probably wouldn't, Yeah, but he would be like I
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: heard him, it probably does need to be.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Kentucky could work uri Missouri?
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Oh he would not, never ever.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Hed He says, they're not even in the sec that works.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Funny. Does j D look like a Missouri quarterback?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Though he looks like a Kentucky Yeah? More than.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: We were just talking Kenny Minschi the other day. But
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: does he remember that?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: So?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I mean Kentucky might be the play.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: All right. We're work shopping here, We're work shopping, all right.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: I love this.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I'm more excited about this than media days in general.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: And Busch Gardens, Busch Garden is gonna be late.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: I like how CD had him.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: No, he was like, no, we're gonna get the season
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: passed and we're gonna go every night.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I didn't. Yeah, I forgot his daughter moved down to Tampa.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: So CDs CD's about to familiar all right here inside
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the document, I'm gonna throw this one behind the glass.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: This is something I'm just catching up with. Apparently Old
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: MISSUS athletic director Keith Carter, who loves a microphone, is
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: speaking up again.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this was actually back on July tenth is when
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the interview occurred. He spoke to the Clarion Ledger and
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: you know, blew through a bunch of different topics, but
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: it brought up Prince Will Luman Miellen and Devin Harper,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: the two ole Miss transfers that are now with LSU,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: and they had certain contracts with Old Miss, and he
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: said that a buyout has not been paid for six
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: months now, when that court is apparently one of the
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: avenues that ole Miss is considering. His direct quote is
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: that would be an option going and asking a court
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: to get that money for you. Contracts are with the players,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: but LSU could pay that on the player's behalf. So
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: we're kind of exploring all of those options right now.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: So I guess they could potentially either sue Uman, me
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Ellen and Harper directly or LSU to try to get
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: the buyout money that they say they are owed due
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: to contracts that they signed before they left.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: This is a very slippery slope when someone wants to
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: do this, Like, you have to know there's so many
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: different situations that are going to play out with the
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: portal and what it is, and if you point a finger,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: there could be two more pointing back at you. It's
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: a very slippery slope. Am I not just saying that
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: to old miss, I'm saying that to anybody and everybody.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody's kind of finding loopholes everywhere, and every college
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: football has like basically.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Become a courtroom TV.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Show, like you're on Judge Judy at all times in
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: college football now. So I think that definitely every every
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: school is doing something that's a little shady. So you're right, like,
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: you gotta be careful where you're pointing the finger because
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: those the Glasstones houses whatever.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: That's that's the big for me. Like if you think
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: y'all know what we're talking about, it and it might
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: break if you think they violated the contract. Look, I'm
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: good with it. I Mean players sue for anything and
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: everything all the time. Like, there's eleven NCAA basketball players
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: right now sue and because they didn't qualify for the
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: five for five and for some reason they believe they should.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So if Almoss wants to do that, fine coming out
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: and saying.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: This publicly to a publication as big as the clear
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: end ledger like cut it back to a Launder's point
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: is a choice.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: You've already you're already.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Under the spotlight, whether you're LSU, whether you're old miss.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Coming out with this just seems a little petty to
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: announce this publicly, Like if you want to sue, if
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: you want to go to court, fine whatever, that's your choice.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: But to make a big scene about it just kind
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: of does it make a ton of sense to me.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Well, Also, you've got to be careful doing stuff like
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: this publicly, because players see this recruit, see this family,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: see this great point, right, wrong or indifferent, like, they
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: are going to have a negative reaction to this. If
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: you're in any way against players and their movement and
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: their freedom in today's college athletics, they're going to see
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: that as a Hey, this guy's not on board. He
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: is not going to play the game. And again, we
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: think a lot of different things about how it's all
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: played out. I'm not saying that's right, but I can
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: tell you that's how they're gonna feel.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: It doesn't make a lot of sense because, like to
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: your point, there are people out there that believe that
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: college athletes should just be able to do whatever the
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: hell they want for whatever reason necessary.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: There's people out there like that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I'm not one of them, but yeah, I mean, I
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: don't see how this becomes a positive in the public
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: life for Old Miss.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I just I don't see it.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Man, it is going to I don't I've been to
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of media days. This is going to be
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I think eleven or twelve, and there's always there's something. Look,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: there's there's always gonna be something. There's gonna be a headline,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: there's going to be something that's spicy. And for sure,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know that we've ever had one that's going
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: to be as unpredictable maybe as this one could be,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: as it could be with Ole Miss, with LSU, with
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: all the things surrounding that entire situation. And there's gonna
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: be other stuff as well from other schools. But the
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: fact that you know, Pete Golding was at ole Miss
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: when the entire staff was there. He knows them, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: then he gets the head coaching job, and then you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Lane's gonna have to answer a bunch of questions where
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: you know in the past he's answered you kind of
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: answer what you want to answer. In media days, you
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: don't get that opportunity. You're gonna be at a podium,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: They're gonna ask you a ton of questions. Now, when
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I got Lane in the serious XM room, we're gonna
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: chop it up about ball because that's what I care about. Okay,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: But that's gonna be the easiest room that he's gonna
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: be in because everything else is gonna be about that
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Pete Golding is going to be He's gonna be prodded, like, hey,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: say something bad about Lane, say something bad about Lane,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: say something bad about LSU, and he's gonna have to
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: try to be careful not to say it right now. Again,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: going back to earlier conversation, I don't know him to
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: ever hold his tongue, so I don't know, like what's
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: gonna happen. We don't know what's gonna come out. And
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: the fact that LSU's bringing a former Ole Miss player
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: like TJ is gonna have to make sure that he's
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: ready for any question and not get too far off
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: his marker, which is going to be incredibly difficult. I
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: can't remember once got this spiciness to it that this
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: one's going to have.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: It's exciting. Normally SEC media days suck, they're kind of pouring.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: They leave the bad teams for last, and like, I
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: think this is gonna be great. The fact that LSU
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: doesn't have to go first at ten am on the
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: first day actually kind of.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Like, oh, I love it because it's like for us,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: it's so exciting.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: The rest of the week and at least I want
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: you have to look forward to as the week goes along.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I think it's great. Trada is gonna have the easiest
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: media day.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: It is very very smart. It is very smart of
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: the SEC to put Ole miss on Wednesday and l
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: s U on Thursday and LSU is gonna get the
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: final word. They are they're gonna be the last day.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: And you're right, Tradas Green is gonna have the easiest
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: of many of them because with is dating Lane Kivens
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: those questions, so it's have some spice news to it
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: and this you know, Keith Carter coming out, loves a microphone,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: getting behind it again. That's just another layer to what's
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: going to be a very exciting media days. All right,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: we will step away. We do have Connor o Gara
• 14:14

  Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs. That's a whole different subject. We saw that,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: We talked about that in the group chat. No, but
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: he said that he is the best number two receiver
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: in the NFL.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Didn't see that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: It's pretty funny because one, no, you're not and there's
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: not like a slight day may On thousand yards last year,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: but you're not only a team currently and there's guys
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: like you know, George Pickens, Davante Adams, t Higgins that's
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: pretty good, you know, Jordan Addison.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Shoot Juwan Jennings and Vikings for that point.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Third right, it is like it brings up looking at
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: the list of free agents still available out there, and
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: it's always okay, like, why is Stefan Diggs. I know
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Stepan Diggs has some some stuff off the field as well,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: but he did have a thousand yards and he's just
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: sitting out there he's not signed. There's a couple of
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: receivers like Keenan Allen is still out there, Deebo Samuel
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: is still out there. If we go over to the
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: edge rushers, there's still guys out there in that list.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Joey Bosa is still out there. Von Miller, who had
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: nine sacks last year, is out there. Cal Van Noy,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Jadeveon Clowney is still out there. It's a it's a
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: surprising free agent market in the NFL. And one of
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: the things about going on a training camp tour that
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I'm excited about is to kind of look to see
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: how they kind of view some of their position position groups,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: because like you look at a team like the Chicago Bears,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: like I feel like the Bears are an edge rusher
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: away from maybe making it like a run all the
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: way and maybe playing for something of note, like a
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Lombardi Trophy. Why why are you, like, why are you
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: not signing von Miller? Why are you not signing Joey Bosa.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying that they're anywhere close to where they
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: were at their peak, but if you've got money to
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: spend and there's available free agents out there like that,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: why would you not try to go bring them in
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: if they're the missing piece? Because you look at what
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: these teams currently have, and this falls into a conversation
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: for a lot of different teams across a lot of
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: different positions. We talked about it yesterday with the New
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Orleans Saints with Nick Underhill. You probably need another defensive
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: back now, you're not going to go out there. Look,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Marshaun Lattimore, he said that did not end great in
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: New Orleans. Okay, I get that, but Tredavious White, Jimmy Ward,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Trayvon Diggs just trying to throw like some of the
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: names out there. Russell Douglas was available until the other
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: day he signed with the Commanders. So it's always for me,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, well, either you believe more in the
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: young players that we don't know enough about apparently, or
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: you're just trying to use your guys, the guys that
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: you drafted, and you're trying to be you know, not
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: trying to be kind of are you're being stubborn about it.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: You're being hard headed about it because there's a list
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: of free agents this year that not only are they names,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: but again like Von Miller had nine sacks last year,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs had a thousand yards receiving last year. They're
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: still productive players. It's a little bit surprising that they're
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: still all out there and available.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is. And I mean back to the
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: original point. No, I mean he's not the best number two.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: We just named three or four out there. But you
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: look at some of these teams. Jack, we talked about
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: this the other day. Why the hell of the Miami
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Dolphins not calling Steffan Dicks?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: He would be their number one?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: I think for I think for the Dolphins it falls
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: into that category of how hard do we really want
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: to try to win seven games?
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I get it.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I would say, why in the world have the Kansas
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: City Chiefs not called Stefan Diggs. Have you seen their
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: receiver list? It's it's it's bad.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: For she Rice, which whoever knows.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: To be suspended for something eight games at least.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Not get any younger. I mean outside of that, what
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: do you have?
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you brought in Kenneth Walker, great, you
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: didn't bring money any pass catchers?
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: No, and Xavier Worthy is not lived up to being
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: a top pick. Jalen Royals was really bad last year's
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: ro You don't have a ton there.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Well, you don't have any big weapons. I mean again
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: or she Rice has some size, but what's that going
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: to look like? I mean, bring in a like Keenan
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Allen would be perfect for them. He could go in there,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: he could live in the slot. He could be a
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: checkdown option for for Mahomes, like even a even a
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Digs or Deebo Samuel. They could give you something in
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: that offense that's better than what they have now.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: And I'm not sure Mahomes is going to start the season.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: You could say, oh, Mahomes could do it on his own,
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: con justin fields because he didn't with the jetslas year.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: All Right, I'm gonna give you all some homework while
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: we're talking with Connor o'garet coming up here in about
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: five minutes. All Right, the homework is gonna because you
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: mentioned Patrick Mahomes and so many times in the past
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: he's been able to whoever's out there, elevate them and
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: make those around him much better. And they've gone other
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: places when they leave Patrick and they're not the same.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: He's coming off in LCL and an ACL so heading
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: into this twenty twenty sixth season. So not what they did,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: you know five years ago, not what they're going to do.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: In five years from now, but heading into this twenty
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: twenty sixth season. Top five quarterbacks in the NFL, just
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: heading into this season, so not a oh man, I
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: think Jackson Dart's gonna be this in three years or
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Tyler Schucker whoever, and not what they did, not what
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers did five years ago. Just heading into this
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty sixth season. Top five quarterbacks, So we'll have
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: that discussion. I'm gonna have our guy Connor Ogara join us.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Looking forward to having that conversation with Connor to break
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: down SEC media days. And obviously there's a lot of
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: storylines now the main storyline is LSU and Ole Miss,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: but Connor's gonna give you all the latest, all the greatest,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: and we'll have that conversation with Connor O'Gara when we
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: come back here live inside the Raisin Kines studio.
• 21:51

• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Gera now the host of the og Kickoff with the
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: guys over at Next Round Live, Connor, what's going on, brother?
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: How we doing doing well? Man?
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: I feel like it's been a minute. I'm not used
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: to going this song without talking to you, but it's
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: to hear your voice.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: I know. Ever since I made the move to the
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: old NFL channel, I know I miss a lot of
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: my college football brethren. So that's Look, that's why I'm
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: so excited about next week and being down in Tampa.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: That's like basically kind of a home game for you.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: You know, an hour and a half drive is really nice.
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: It's very convenient in this day and age when I
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: don't have to worry about air travel or anything like that,
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: quick little Sunday night drive from my home here in Orlando.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: And I know a lot of people will be pooing
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: Tampa even though it's Florida and it's right on the water.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: But whatever, we don't need to debate that. But it
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: will be nice for me to not have to make
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: the trip up to Hoover, up to Nashville or.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Something like that.
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: I love those places. They're all well and good. But yeah, homefield,
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: it's gonna be really nice.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were, you know, discussing in studio, not that
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Tampa's a bad place. But we were like, you know, okay,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: why Tampa? And I guess you're throwing the Gators a
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: bone here. Now, maybe Orlando would have been an option
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: as well. Maybe Jacksonville would have been an option, but
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: you know, Tampa, I guess a little bit. It's on
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: the footprint ish, but it's a little bit of a
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: unique choice, I think.
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: I think so, I mean outside of the the Aaron
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: Murray's of the world who have grown up in you know,
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: the great city of Tampa. I don't know that a
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: lot of people were pushing for it, but I know
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: they're just trying to move this around. And Sankia teased
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: the idea of Vegas a few years ago. I personally
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: wouldn't necessarily be the biggest span of that. I think
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: we're getting a little bit too far outside of our
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: geographical footprinted. We're doing something like that ultimately, though nobody
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: really cares except the people that are actually going to this,
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: which you know is us. So I guess we're just
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: probably talking in a vacuum right now.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Can we get one in New Orleans?
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: I mean, why not? Like this is this seems so
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: obvious to me and the fact that it hasn't happened yet.
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: It is kind of baffling because we've had Atlanta, we've
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: had Nashville, Dallas, Tampa, New Orleans feels like it's next.
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: I'm going to make a bold prediction and say it'll
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: be in New Orleans by the end of the decade.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, I think more than anything, I think he's worried
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: that PB and CD would not make their call times
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: on the SEC network.
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah. I think that it's fair. Look, even Fine Bomb
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: probably would be would be tough. I think everybody would
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: probably have a little bit.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Too much fun.
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: That's honestly like that. That's probably the reason is that
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: there's too much to do in New Orleans and everybody
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: would just be hung over by Tuesday, and then you know,
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: the Thursday vibes would creep in forty eight hours earlier,
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: and I don't think people would be a fan of that.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: All right, So you mentioned the Thursday vibes. It's a
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: great place to start here as we get into the
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: actual SEC media days. Because you're right, we've done this
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: for over a decade. We know typically about Thursday, everyone's like,
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: oh my god, can you please get me out of here?
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Now the SEC this year, I think has done something smart.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: They put not only Texas on Thursday, but they put
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: LSU on Thursday. Lshu's always been the leadoff hitter. It
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: has always been right out of the gates, here comes LSU,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: and that has been how SEC Media Days has started
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: over the last decade. Well, now they move them to Thursday,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: and LSU's to be as talked about as any team
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: at SEC Media Days. The old miss LSU ole MISSUS Wednesday.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: LSU's Thursday. That is a really good move, I think
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: by the SEC because as much as by Thursday we're
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: like get me out of here, everybody's going to be
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: locked into LSU.
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: I would think so. And for those who are kind
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: of wondering, like, oh, like, what are going to be
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: the storylines in college football this year? That isn't the
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: Protect College Sports Act and expanding the playoffs and all
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: the boring things. And I'm just like, golly, I do
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: not care. Look no further than those Bayou Bengals of yours,
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: because my goodness, man, Lane Kiffin being there for the
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: first time with LSU is going to be great theater.
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: I do think that him bringing TJ. Dotttery is fascinating
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: because of the old miss element to it, and for
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: those that want to say, like, ah, you know what,
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: he's just he's a leader. No, no, no, this is
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: Lane Kiffen being Lane Kiffen in every possible way. He's
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: got a six million dollar quarterback that he left home,
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: and maybe he left him home because of the ankle
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: injury and all that stuff with the Liz Frank and
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: what not. But I still look at this and go,
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: Lane is going to be great theater no matter what.
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: Even if he is in his very typical boring Lane
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: press conference mode, which he very often is in these settings,
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: it's still going to be fascinating to talk about all
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: these different storylines and maybe just maybe that game September
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: nineteenth in Oxford. I think if I had a guess,
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: it's going to come up once or twice, I would
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: say so.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: And we talked about like TJ. Dottary is going to
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: probably have it as tough as any player there, and
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: that's including like Archie Manning, who last year, I mean
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: had like a whole posse of security guards following him around. Now,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: like you know, wit weeks are going to get some
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: of it because you know, obviously he's dating Lane Kevin's daughter,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: and you know all those questions, But what's been at
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: media days, He's been there, he's done that. He's gonna
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: have great answers. And that's not the same as hey,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: why'd you leave Ole miss? Why are you at LSU?
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Like TJ is going to have to do some heavy
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: lifting as well.
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and I hope he's prepped for that because I
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: think you're right. I think he's going to have a
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: ton of people there And for everybody that kind of
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: understands the dynamics of going, wait a minute, this guy
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: committed tell us you very late in the portal cycle.
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: He in mont miel and who there's still a buyout
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: situation kind of looming over over that. This is going
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: to be something that I think is worth dissecting of, Hey,
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: why did you see yourself as a better fit knowing
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: that you had a lot of success in the Pete
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: Golding defense and knowing that that was a team that
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: was twenty seconds away from playing for a national championship.
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: And there are old mis fans who are like, oh,
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: you wouldn't have played as much, and they're trying to
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: win that breakup but I think understanding that storyline is
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: kind of understanding, you know, what is the juiciest plot
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: in the SEC as a whole, at least his relates
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: to this offseason.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Now, let's get to our guy, Pete Golding. We were
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: talking about it earlier. The thing about Pete that I've
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: always loved, if it comes in Pete's head is coming
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: out of his mouth. That's the way Pete Golding is.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: That's the way he's always been. He is never going
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: to change. It doesn't matter if he's got a DC
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: or an eight next to his name. How do you
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: think it's going to be for Ole Miss head coach
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Pete Golding.
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: I was discussing this with Ben Garrett, who covers all
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: things Old Miss for on three, and we were debating
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: if Pete Golding is now the best cusser in college football.
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: I think he's up there, like I think, Oh.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: He's going to what are you putting the over under
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: on him at the podium cuss words?
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: You know, I don't want to assume that he's just
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: gonna let it rip. I'm gonna say it's like four
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: is the over under.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I was going to say three and a half.
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, He's going to have a few that are going
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: to come out, and I think it's just not being
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: in these settings. Let's let's let's not forget this is
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: the first time he's going to be in a setting
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: like this with a ton of people that are going
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: to be chomping at the bit to ask him questions,
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: hopefully not about protect college sports and whatnot, actually get
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: to things that matter. But I do think that he's
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: going to let it fly in ways that we're not
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: used to seeing. And this is an interesting dynamic too,
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: with having six coaches in new spots. In the SEC,
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: there's some young blood like I don't know if you've
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: if you've picked up on this, half of the coaches
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: in the SEC were born in the nineteen eighties now,
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: I mean the youngest or the oldest coach in the
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: SEC is Brent Venables, the guy who runs stadiums in
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: his free time. This is a younger dynamic that we're
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: having in the conference. And so you know, kind of
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: the ways of old of being you know, always politically
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: correct that might be going by the wayside, and Pete
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: Golding might be the best reflection of that.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to it. You're right. It mean it's
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: gonna be the first setting for Pete and we saw
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: in the college football playoff run. I mean, Pete is
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: somebody that's still going to stay true to himself and
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: I think three and a half I'm probably gonna take
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: the over there. All right. So you mentioned the young coaches.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: There's new coaches all across the SEC, some that are
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: going to different spots that have been in the SEC,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: but there's gonna be a lot of new coaches. If
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: you take the ole Miss LSU portion out of this connor,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: what are you looking forward to? Who are you looking
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: forward to maybe catching up with that you haven't had
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: a chance to spend a lot of time around.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: I'm interested to see how John Summer all comes across
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: because you know, and I've said this on off campus,
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: but one of the things that feels obvious with him
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: is that he has won the press conference, and he
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: has made sure from the jump that he was going
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: to win that press conference. Is he going to continue
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: to win over people in that room in Tampa? What's
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: kind of a home field for him, albeit with a
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: two hour drive from Gainesville. I'm interested to see kind
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: of how he comes across because he seems as genuine
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: as the day is long, and he has hit on
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: all these key points that have been sources of frustration
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: with the billion Apier era. And I do think that
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: he's going to bring a new type of energy to
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: the table. And there are a lot of people that
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: are looking at the personnel moves that he's made in
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: this offseason, going dang Florida with the schedule that's finally
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: not like maybe the toughest in college football. Are they
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: gonna win eight games this year?
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: Are they going to keep their head above water and
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: actually be in playoff contention? Because they've kind of had
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: those moments with year one coaches, even if you look
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: at how much they've struggled post Urban Meyer. So I'm
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: fascinated to see what it looks like with Summer All.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: I think he's gonna win over even more people. And
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: I haven't been in an in person studying with him
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: in the way that you have, So I think he's
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: gonna be one of those guys that comes across and
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: for those of us who haven't seen it, we're gonna
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: be like, Okay, I get it, and I get why
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: people are so high on him.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and again, and I hate doing this because it
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: is throwing shade at Billy Napier, and that's not my intention.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Billy's personality is just different. Is a different personality. Billy's
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: never gonna get worked up. Billy was never going to
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: get behind a microphone and galvanize the crowd. It's just
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: not who he is. And that's fine. You can be
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: a great football coach and not do that. John Summer
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: is a complete opposite. He is going to have everyone
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: eating out of the palm of his hand. He's going
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: to be exciting, he's going to be young, energetic. It
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: is going to be a different feel for Florida. So
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: just based off that alone, the different personalities, Connor, I
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: think John's gonna win the room.
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: I was going to add to that, Billy's never gonna
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: give up play calling duties, you know, just things like this.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: That.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I.
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: Think we can all look back on his time and
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: say he made some clear mistakes. He since admitted that.
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: I saw the story in on three wherein he admitted
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: such a thing, and I think that that Summer all,
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: you know, if you're trying to understand like the dynamic
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: and how unique he is now our school has brought
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: over what like a dozen players from US staff, brought
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: over some of those assistants, and it made a lot
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: of sense that he brought that with him to Auburn,
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: who I don't know if you've noticed this, but they've
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: endured their worst five year stretch since the Harry Truman administration.
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: And meanwhile, Florida is also in this you know, decade
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: of dysfunction, so to speak. Shut up Mark Nagy for that,
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: and they are in a much different place with this
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: year one rebuild, having just brought over a punter and
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: a kicker from two lane. That's it. So there's more
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: than one way to skin a cat. I don't know
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: who these sikos are who are out here skinning cats,
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: but lord knows there are different philosophies for year one success,
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: and those two coming from very similar backgrounds in the
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: American doing it in entirely different ways. And I'm interested
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: to kind of see how they go about their Year
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: one business.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Catching up, brother, I got Connor o gera host of
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: the OG kickoff now with the Fellas over at the
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: next round live, Connor Vanderbilt is interesting to me as well.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Nobody's talking about him yet again. The last two years,
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: they've been a really good football team. Diego Paby is
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: no longer on the squad, and it feels like everything
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: they built up over the last two years has just
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: gone out the window. Everybody's just assuming they're going to
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: be back to same old Vanderbilt. At least that's the
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: vibe that I get. Are you getting the same vibe?
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: And is clark Le gonna yet again be able to
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: fly under the radar and just punch teams in the mouth.
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: It's so difficult to process because yes, Diego Papy, I mean,
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: let's call it what it is. He's the difference maker.
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: This new Mexico state migration that we saw take place
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: over the last two years has been so transformative in
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: ways that we never could have imagined in Nashville. But
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: the thing that's so difficult to process is that while
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: Clark Lee is coming off this historically great season, he's
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: also two and twenty two in SEC games in which
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: Diego Pavia is not his QB one, and so that looms.
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: You know, we've seen what it looks like with two
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: winless seasons in SEC play without Diego Pavia, and I
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: think that if you're trying to figure out what's the
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: path back to being able to be a six to seven,
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: eight win team. It's Tim Back. It's Tim Back running
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: that offense and doing things that I think frustrated a
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: lot of defensive coordinators of the course of the last
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: two years. He is still there. So can he work
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: his magic with what we expect to be a true
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: freshman starting quarterback? And Jared Curtis, who at this point
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: in his life has more appearances in feature films than
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: he does SEC football games, so that will soon change.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: But what does that look like?
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: That's going to determine how good they are in this
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: post Diego Pavia world. But you're right, man, nobody is
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: talking about them whatsoever, despite the fact that they're coming
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: off this great ten and two season in which they
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: felt like they should have been in the playoff discussion.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Well, now you've got my attention, and I'm embarrassed because
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: this feels like something OTV should absolutely know. What feature
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: film was Jared Curtison The.
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: Bread Winner with Nate Barghetti. Yes, feature film came out
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: Mandy Moore as a coast.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Right, Nate's aig, you're right now, it's it's it's tickling
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: something in the brain. I'm remembering this a little bit. Now,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: You're right, You're right.
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: Look, I'm just saying I have not been able to
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: see it yet. I'm a I'm a huge Nate Barghetti
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: fan and real fans. No, it's Barghetti, not Bargatzi.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: That's one for the people you and your pronunciations.
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: Look, I saw him live in Orlando. I've seen his
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: daughter introduces him at every single show, and I've always
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: paid attention like it's it's Barghetti. But like, I'm fascinated
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: with Jared Curtis and how this works out this year,
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: because that kind of raised the eyebrows when we're like,
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: wait a minute, his NIL deal is connected to being in,
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: you know, an actual movie that's not just straight to streaming,
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: but it's in real theaters and people are seeing it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: And yet this is someone you know, like I think
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: a lot of people are gonna be rooting against him
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: because of the Georgia thing, like picking Dandy over Georgia
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: the past through media playtime. So yeah, he's kind of
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: quietly one of the more interesting people in the SEC
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: this year, even though he will unfortunately not be at
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: SEC media days.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: All Right, last one Connor Connor Oger, our guests, you're
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: always good enough to join us. Give me the pronunciation
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: of a player in the SEC. It can be at
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: media days. It doesn't have to be that everybody's going
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: to mess up and you're gonna judge us every single
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: time that we do it.
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's a good one. That's a really good one.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: On top of them.
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: I know I'm looking at the list right now and
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: there aren't a ton that kind of come to mind here.
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: That's what we are gonna mistakenly say, just Ryan Williams
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: instead of Ryan Colman Williams. Let's remember that the name
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: change on that one. That's definitely one that's gonna come up.
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: And then how about let's go with Keewan Lacey because
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: everybody wants to say everybody wants to say, like Kewan Lacey.
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: It's Keewan Keewan Lacey. Emphasis on the key part of it.
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: There's definitely some of these you're putting me on the
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: spot here.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, I mean you're just you're
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: always on top of it. Nobody knows pronunciation is better
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: than you do. And so like if there's a guy
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: I usually come to you to make sure I'm saying
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: it right. And so Kewan Lacey is going to be
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: the one.
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: How about Isaiah Stana. He's not going to be at
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: SEC media Days, but we did an SEC wide receiver
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: draft of like, who's going to be the most productive.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: Guys is here?
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: I took them number one overall in our draft coming
• 39:41
  Speaker 8: off the year that he had at Oklahoma. But he's
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: a guy that more people should be talking about. He's
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: not going to be at SEC media Days, but he's
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: definitely worthy of this discussion. Yeah, there's look at just
• 39:51
  Speaker 8: the running back position in general. Learn learn these guys names.
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: Cedric Alexander is one that people are going to probably
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: mess up. He's he's got hester written all over him.
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: With his running style, He's going to be the focus
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: of that you talk about. We had a lot of
• 40:04
  Speaker 8: discussion about Vandy Day that I didn't expect. He's one
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: of these guys that's actually going to be at ICC
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: media Days. Six running backs will be there after the
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: last two years combined. Before this year, we had one
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: running back there and it was Montreal Johnson Junior. And
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: now we're going to have six this year. Some are
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: calling it return of the back in the SEC. I
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: am very much calling that. You can steal that if
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: you want.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I will cite my source the first time and then
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: it's mine. Connor. We appreciate it, sir, looking forward to
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: seeing you down in Tampa.
• 40:34
  Speaker 8: Thanks man, appreciate it all right.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: That is Connor O Gera. Now you can catch him
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: on the OG kickoff was with Saturday down South for
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: a long time. Now with the guys there in Birmingham
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: at the next round live all right, we will step
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: away more OTB when we come back here live from
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: the Raisin Kine studio. Off the bench, all right. If

• 42:38
  Speaker 3: Always remind you of our friends over at kt Z
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: kt Z Blinds dot com k t o z Blinds
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: dot com k c int her outdoor living. It's inside,
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: it's outside, it's outside, it's inside, and sometimes it's a
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: little bit of both. Well, I didn't know it was
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: gonna be both. I gotta be honest with you. Brandon
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: Barton and the team knew it was gonna be a
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: little bit of both. They put an outdoor motorized screen
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: on our back patio and during football season. We found
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: out it's going to shade the entire living room on
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Sundays when we're watching football all day. Right, you take
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: the glare off the TV, it cools down the living
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: room and they knew exactly what to install at our home.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: They're gonna know it for you as well. Okay to
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: see Blind's dot com. You know my favorite parts about
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: Media Day when somebody bombs Media Day. I know it's
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: not the way that we should, you know, think about it,
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: and it's tough, But like Deshaun Foster when you get
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: there for UCLA, y'all, I enjoy that more than anything.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: And look, we've all been in those situations. We've all
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: been in front of a crowd where we've had to
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: give a speech or talk or you know, it's not easy.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it is. But the reason I say
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: that I enjoy it because I'm about prepping for those
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: situations and you got to be ready, and you got
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: to go over it so many times that if you
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: don't have notes, it's so second nature to you that
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: you find a way to be entertaining. But when you
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: think that you're going to do it without prepping, and
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: you get exposed it's always I'm like, a should have
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: put in the work there, Bud. We're also the team
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: in Los Angeles, the other one, the other team Los Angeles.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Uh so, uh yeah, that didn't last very long, Foster.
• 44:24
