  Speaker 1: nor the next pitch is going to be a ball.
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: I mean, we're talking about guys whos gonna make six
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: point five million a year and he's getting twelve thousand
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: dollars cut out of this.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: What is what in the world.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, they make a lot of money, but they spend
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of money more.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: That was stupid. That's really stupid.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And career, oh yeah, finding right.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and he faces a sixty possibility of sixty five
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: years in prison, Like.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: That's that's worse than twelve thousand dollars.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you got your fallow Off book in prison.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, we're not done with this by a long. No,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid I may not buy a long. But you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: he was calling guys from the dugout out. He was, Yeah,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it's crazy, man, It's just it is crazy. It's just nuts.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: I was reading the story of the Athletic today and
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: it's just like, you know, he won these guys four
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: hundred and sixty thousand dollars and he got twelve thousand,
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: like twelve thousand per night when he did it. It
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: was crazy.
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: Like something stupid that these guys again, he's makes six
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: point five million, he's gonna be on their own figure
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: and probably on path to.
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: Be the closer of the years. Yeah.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it makes no sense at all.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense. But like I said, we're
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: not through with this unfortunately. And this is.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Where we have gotten to when every other commercial on
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: television is about a betting service, and when you have
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: an instrument in your hand that you can make two
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: touches and make a bet, it is it is an epidemic,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and it's epidemic among young people, and it's epidemic among
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: college people. And here the ncuble A is advocating betting
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: on games or whatever it is they did a few
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. And we are not done by a long shot,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: can you. We've just had a handful of people gotten
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: caught so far, can you? And I think back to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the Black Sox scandal, right with with Joe and he's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: out of the Hall of Fame because he may or
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: may not have affected a game when he hit like
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: four hundred during that World Series, right, but these we're
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: talking college kids here. You know, we've had a couple
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of betting scandals and what the last forty years sees
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: something like that, and now it is just if I'm
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a coach, I am scared to death, said, because we've
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: had coaches in Baltimore fall of.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: The money and unfortunately money's so readily. Yeah, and these
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: kids have money. Now, see these kids of money and
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: they want more of it. Yes, and so it's like, wow,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: I can make how much money if I do what
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: for you?
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Man, I won't get caught. Oh that's that's great.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: All I have to do is go down before I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: make a first down a half a yard short. That's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: all just once, and you're gonna pay me ten thousand dollars.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what's the game?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, think about that, the pop dropped out of control.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: All I have to do is is joink a field
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: goal from from forty yards and you're gonna pay me
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: how much?
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: We can still win? No deal?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Exactly, it's scary. It's scary.
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: Well they're talking about the basketball players intentionally missing shots.
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah right, I mean and the prop bets of what
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: is crazy on this because like you said, so they
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: can still you know, legitimately say hey, we're gonna win
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: a game. And class was gonna throw. It was all
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: about whether he's gonna throw his fastball or his slider.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: So he was throwing a slider at ninety one. So
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: that's I mean, and it's good. The guy swung and
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: miss that at a pitch there was supposed to be
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: a ball, yeah, and but it didn't matter because it
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: was the speed not the strike.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: And so I mean he threw he threw a slider
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: in the dirt. The guy got the guy out, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: then that was the picture, you know, I mean that
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: was one episode there.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: Anyway, it's just crazy, you know.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Because I hate now is you can make prop bets
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: in the quarter and a half and so once again,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: your team could be winning or losing by play. You
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: could say, you're not gonna hurt your team, but I'm
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: gonna make money. You're gonna make how much money?
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying, maybe the Rangers smart and trading that
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: Corey Kluber for that one inning.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: You know, Corey Kluber looked good for that one.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: It was pretty good for an inning.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: One inning, you look sharp.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It was great the next year.
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, not with Texas either. The no hitter gets the
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Rangers though.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I just I think we're going down the path that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that we we just haven't scratched the surface on what
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: what's gonna come out, right.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: But we've opened it up. The people in charge this up.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Hey see, sir taking the money. These gambling sites are
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: spending much money. Because they're making millions and millions of dollars.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: They should have taken the World Series away from the
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: Astros and that was solid af.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm all for that. As you know.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Yes, they're the first ones cheat right.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Right, but the first place to get caught.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: They just weren't.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: They just weren't very.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: Good at the head is less sophisticated system.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to bucket ball. Hit a little
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: snag again.
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: That was ugly, a little snag, you know. But what
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: I really appreciated was Bucky's talk after the game.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I get to hear him.
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: Well, he basically he said, this is unacceptable, unacceptable because
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: we were not the team playing the hardest yesterday. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: I said, he said, that will change. That is not
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: going to be our trademark. He said, you know, I
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: can forgive the team for missing shots. I can forgive
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: him for being selfish with the shots. I cannot forgive
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: the lack of physicality and effort, and I just I
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: loved it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: He's like, that's gonna change.
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: So it was refreshing to hear that, yes, as opposed
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: to I will listen to the Maryland kind of uh
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: post post game.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: And it was baffling as well. He said, the problem
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: with the problem is that there's multiple problems. Oh my gosh,
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: I was like, but yeah, yesterday they didn't hit shots.
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: They did not and they didn't play defense. And that's
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: what he was really upset about.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: A lot of layups.
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot of layups.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: And and and they had some threes. I mean, I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: don't I don't know how good Oklahoma State is. A
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and M probably made them look better than they're going
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to be. But they have some players, they have some talent.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned with. And and and He's talked
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: about this just one on one battles, right, because they
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: they've got guys that can play basketball. But but winning
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: one on one battles and defending, as you mentioned Rusty
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: is is probably an issue.
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: He said, that's the worst half court defense he's ever
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: seen at any level that he's coached.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: He said, he called those guys out. I could agree with.
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: I mean, he just said, listen, that was a total
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: lack of effort on our part and that cannot happen.
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: And he said, you know what I mean again, when
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: shots are not falling, you're We've talked about that forever, right,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: shots are not falling. Basketball is ugly, right, yes, And
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: that was ugly basketball yesterday. But the fact is that
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: they you know, I thought Oklahoma State played great defensively.
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: They were out in A and M shorts.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: I mean they were like knocking the ball away and
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: the guards were having a hard time. And then when
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: the guards might would penetrate, I mean, they had shot
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: blockers down there low and that was something.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: A and M.
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: And that's what Bucky also said this morning when I
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: heard him talk, He's like, we didn't have very good
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: help defense. He said, we're not a very good one
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: on one defensive team, so our team defense better be
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: dang good. Yes, and he said because and that's not
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: the first time he said that. No, no, no, he said,
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: you know, everybody can't be great at everything. We don't
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: have a great one on one defender, so we better
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: play team defense. We better play help defense, better shut
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: down the lane, and of course the big kid might
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: be coming back or might be coming on fry and
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: badka guess yeah, how do you say that name in.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: Baca in Baca. Yeah, So he's like that'll be a
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: big help.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Well, look, Pop, Isaacs is a long way from being
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: who he is, right, and he had barely practiced.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I understand. That's what I'm saying.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Royland Griffin's motor has never been great. I talked to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: some people about that today. I mean, in all he's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: he's a really good player. He helped Alabama go to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the Final four two years ago. Right, he hasn't been
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: real good so far, and he's going to have to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: pick it up in this style of play, right, or
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: he's going to get fewer minutes.
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: Gauge is the only one, and tell me that's really
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: played well yesterday.
• 10:31
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: You know, I like Marcus hills motor. You know, I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: like Holloway, I like Laane, I like those guys. You know,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I just there, as you mentioned, there's gonna be ups
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and downs.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: You might as well have downs early.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And as he as he mentioned, he's gotten their attention
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: now in terms of how they're going to practice. I
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: bet it's a little bit different on Friday night. That's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I'm just betting.
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: I bet you it's a lot different today of practice.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no doubt.
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: I mean the way he sounded was pretty frustrated.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Oh and and rightly, so that was just a poor effort, right,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: when you're trying to build stuff, it's a poor effort.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: But you know what, They're gonna have other games like this.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. In my mind, they will
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: have other games like this.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: But as you mentioned, Rusty, you can control the effort,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: so we'll see.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that was he jump. It was agy
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: that that I was yeah. Agh.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: He plays hard.
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: He played really hard even yesterday, yes and he was
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: like and even Bucky singled him out.
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: He's like, that's the only kid that did play really
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: hard yesterday.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: And I watched him three times and he's played hard
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: every time. And I think that's a fifth year senior.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: That's that's doing it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: I don't like him shooting the three.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I do not like him shooting three.
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: He made one yesterday.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: That's bad.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: That's bad.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: That's the first one. He's mad.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: I'm with you.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I don't like him shooting I don't either.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: I don't either.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I just I don't ask him about that. Maybe i'll
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: do that tomorrow.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: We'll see, Yeah, ask him about that. I mean, I
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: guess he's got permission.
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: But yeah, yeah, when you went in, when the shot
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: went in yesterday, I looked at my wife.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: That's a good that's a bad thing.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: Now. I think she's gonna be shooting them out.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: But nobody's shot was going in yesterday.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: No, it wasn't. And there'll be days like that. Like
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: you said, there's going to be because but there's gonna
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: be shooting days like that. But that's when you have
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: to play such good defense to keep yourself in the game. Yeah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: And they didn't do either one of those things. Yesterday.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: They were minus six turnovers. They only turned over Oklahoma
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: State nine times. They had fifteen, and they're going to
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: turn the ball over, by the way, just by virtue
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of how they play. So they need to keep that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: plus minus fairly even in terms of turnovers. And that's
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: all seasoned long because they are going to turn the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: ball over.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: I thought Oklahoma State did a great job and we're
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: gonna see that with with good teams have good teams
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: are gonna have.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: Good athletes, and that's the issue.
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: Do Mingus couldn't get a shot off yesterday at all
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: because you know their defense was too quick. Yes, And
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: they're gonna say that a lot in the sec.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: You know, Griffin's kind of the same way in terms
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: of getting the shot off. You know, he's not great
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: creating his own own shot. You know, uh Pop can
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: create his own shot. But he's taking away He was
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: one for eight from threes he needs. He's taking way
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: too many three point shots.
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, he threw up that airball that
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: the Oklahoma State fans never let him forget the entire game,
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: and then he forced the only the one shot I
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: thought I liked was when he got fouled and he
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: forced that up and got three free throws.
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: I don't know if you remember that, Yes I do.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: That was a good shot in that he recognized it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: But some of the three pointers he took were like, no,
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: that's not a good shot at all.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, he didn't.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: He didn't take good shots, and I think he'll be
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: better even way Taylor.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: Watch that and say that's not a good shot.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, listen to you guys, they
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: need a three point shot.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Shooting. They didn't.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: They didn't.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: They didn't shoot well yesterday.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: You know when we say this every year when the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: ball when the ball didn't go in the basket, you
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: look terrible. When it goes in the basket, you look
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: like world beaters, you know then then, but and yesterday
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: it didn't go in.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: It's why buzz This team looked bad a lot of
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: times because they couldn't shoot.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: They didn't shoot. You know, I think they shoots a
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: little better than that.
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: What did they did him shoot from the field yesterday?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Let me check.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: They were nine for thirty five from three, which is
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: twenty five percent. You'd like to be about thirty three percent,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you know, right in there?
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: What were they overall?
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: Overall?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: They were twenty for sixty two, So that's pretty bad.
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: What's the percentage on that?
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: That would be thirty two point three percent?
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: Seven percent better than what Maryland shot in their game?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: They shot twenty five percent, yes, from the field. Yeah,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: well it's Saturday. They're in mid season form.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah up there, Maryland, they just slow down. Yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to decide if you're taking greater pleasure in
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the fact that Maryland loss, or there's more pain than
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the fact that A and M.
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: I'm taking I'm taking pleasure in the Maryland los I've
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: taken a lot of pleasure there, Alight. That's in the
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: fact that they shot twenty five percent thrilled.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but when it got closer to the rim, it
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: went up to fifty six percent.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: And the fact it was their first home loss, home
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: opener loss in.
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: Forty eight years made me happy. No way, Yeah, Maryland
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: first home opening they lose to. They lost to uh, Georgetown.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, well Georgetown the little good they're good, They're not great.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: Turns out Buzz thought it was Georgetown or Georgetown State. Georgetown.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Well, at first I saw that g I was like,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: is that Gonzaga, And then like, no, it's George.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: If it had been a Gonzaga that lost by fifty, yeah, exactly. Okay,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that's enough paper, are going talk football?
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: Come on, Solomon Washington is not playing, he's not heard. Yeah, renegotiation, No, maybe.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: He is renegotiat.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: Arrel Payne had a decent game, it looked like.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: But anyway, all right, let's talk a little football.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: You might want to do that.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nine and zero South Carolina coming in the team
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that beat them. We were reminded today ceased by twenty five.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You know, we were a quarterback that ran all over
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: him and passed all over him.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: I love the Alex Snyer laughing. Do you realize Elcho
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: doesn't want you to talk about last year, but he
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: brings up last year when it's good for them, Because
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: he brought up yesterday today about last year what Leonoris
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: Sellers did, and I laughed when someone asked about last year.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Then he was okay, Well, he said, this is the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: same team that beat us by twenty five last year,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And I said, no, it's the same school.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: It's not the same team, right.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: That definitely the linemen are gone.
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah. He I loved the way he approached that today
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: when I was listening to US conference and he's like,
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: you know, he looked like the same guy to me.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: He looked the same guy who threw all all over
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: us and ran all over us, and you know we
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: expect the same guy. Yeah, I mean it was good.
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: You know what.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I got no problem with that, Yeah, because it's right
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: because he's good enough.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: No, he this kid's good enough to beat you.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: No, he is good enough, You're right, and he's come close.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: A couple of times against really good teams. Yes, and
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm not trying to help elcho out. I'm just
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: saying not eighteen and a half point spread seems And
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I know they just beat Missouri by twenty one.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I get, and Missouri's a better team in South Carolina.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I get that it doesn't always work that way, but
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: in a conference game that seems like a lot it does.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: And then you know, if I'm gonna pick it, I
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: guarantee you I'm gonna pick it wrong. It GA's with
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: the line because it is so hard to pick it,
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: really hard.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: They've been they have because they're storing. They can score,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: yes they can, and they really I thought this was.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Gored a lot without really trying.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: They didn't get to forty they probably could have.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: They could, and they didn't throw the ball down field.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: They they didn't have to, and I thought.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: They wanted to get get a win and get out
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: of there, don't do anything outrageous. But once again, this
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: is part of the revenge tour, and you look what they've.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: Went when they got when Missouri scored the long touchdown
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: run to make it thirty one to seventeen, right, I
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: was like, Okay, well, let's see what this team does,
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: because if they get a three and out here, yeah,
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: this place is gonna be going wow and and m.
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: That touchdown drive was probably the most impressive drive I've
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: seen in a longtly on the ground, mostly on the
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: grounds in Blowing Missouri.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And this and this is what I talked about after
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the game Saturday, that this team, the line is good
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: enough that in the fourth it's like a point guard
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: in basketball. I'm going to go back to basketball when
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the last two or three minutes you want that point
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: guard who shoots ninety percent free throws to have the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: ball in his hand. Right, this offensive line is controlling
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Not only are they are they keeping
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the lead, they're extending the lead in the fourth quarter,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: with the exception of Arkansas. Right, I mean, that's all
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I want. But hey, they won, and that's all that
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: if you.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Want a nitpick.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: And at this point, it's time to start because the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: price of poker is about to go up.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Here in a few weeks.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Right, they can't give up two hundred yards rushing on
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the ground.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: They can't. They didn't tackle well well, and they didn't
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: fit well.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: You know, they've they've given up the two big runs,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and and Olan asks that except for the two big runs,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: and Elko is like, I don't do that.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because you can't do except for the two
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: big runs.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: You take the two big runs away, they're still over
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: one hundred yards, yes, which is too many, and that
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: we've seen that problem all the time. Begetting back with
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: what you said, Chip, they can control the line of scrimmage,
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage league, and Missouri didn't win any
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: part of them in the last eight minutes because they
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: were beat up like uls. You didn't fence, couldn't do
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: anything correct, and our offense wasn't able to keep their
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: defense off the field. And Ain't m just hammered them.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: I think Missouri was his own worst enemy in the
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: play call. In a lot of times, I was like
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: that that kid had such a hard time getting going
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: and talking about the freshman quarterbacks.
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: So they throw the go route like eight nine times.
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: It was way too many times on a very low
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: percentage play, and they kept on going to it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: I was like, get the guy. I mean, if you're
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: going to try to get the little swing passing the
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: easiest pass you can possibly call.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: And then you know, and he completed one of them,
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: and the receiver matter great catch.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: I mean early on.
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: So they had that long run on the first the
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: first play of the game for them, the first offensive play.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Then they had that long pass. Other than that, that
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: was it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: That was it the first time.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: And they didn't do high percentage. And I think also
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: what happened is that guy I watched a little bit
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: of the vendor but game he looked good, Hey did,
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: But now he had two weeks to prepare and you're
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: weeks to think, to think, and it looked like the
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: game was way too fast.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: For him, no doubt.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and it was.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: You gonna remember he was went in the season as
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: the third string quarterback and he's under some pressure. He's
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: under pressure well, and he.
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: Didn't make a critical mistake until late in that second
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: half when the sack that returned. You know what I mean,
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: because it was almost seven to nothing at that point.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Correct that late in the first half, late in.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: The first half, yes, and so late in the first
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: half seven that was the ball game. That was a
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: huge play to me.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Back to you, uh, Rusty, the play took too long
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: to develop.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: Right, so you know you knew he was gonna make
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: a mistake. By that point, I had already said, like, man,
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: this kid's gonna make a costly mistake here.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I can just tell.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: And he did, and he turned around, wasn't even looking
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: to the Bard side, and he couldn't keep the ball
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: that long.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: And you say, you've got to get rid of the pack.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Called that coach, Yeah, you're in that team. That's what
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I think. I took of some lousy play calls.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: I think if they go to the half seven nothing,
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: then the kid can maybe be a little bit of
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: confident when you go fourteen. Oh, and you just screwed
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: the game up to get.
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: It, because at that point I didn't know if Missouri's
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: going to score, you know what I mean. They came
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: out and they played much better offensively, and they ran
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: the football and you know, and them gave up one
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: really big time drive. I thought, yeah, but uh yeah,
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: I thought if the same thing. So I thought, if
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: they're gonna get it seven to nothing going on the half,
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: they gotta feel pretty good.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: That's what I thought at that point.
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: But then when I when when An went up fourteen,
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: I was like, oh man, I feel a lot better.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: You watched Missouri walking off the field at halftime. They
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: were beat because.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you that that one play that was the
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: ball came right and I think everybody went along.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: With the fake punt.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I thought they what a great call, great call, Well
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: that worked, but what a great It's a great call
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: when it works, right, yes, sir.
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: And that that there was that one uh Missouri defender
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: who was fault. He was at his back, I mean
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: he was running down the field away exactly.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: I mean they did max from return.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: It was a beautiful call, perfect time. It results in
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: a field goal. But it was like, that's a huge
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: tournament events because AND's gonna turn the ball right back over,
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: you know, and that place is.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Gonna get what you have it done. Yeah, still have ane.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Their defense come off the field jacked up. You could
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: tell them. You talk about a perfect timing because like
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: you said, it was only a field goal, but no,
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: it was the momentum. They knew they were gonna get
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: the ball back. They felt so good and here they're
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: going to go back out and play defensive.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: Yep, that was a huge play.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: You know what.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: The other thing that strikes me so much speed on
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the field on both sides of the football, right, and
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and they're just they're not a lot of teams that
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: can keep up with the athletes that they're putting on
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Here's the deal. A and M does so many little
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: plays you don't really look at. They did it again
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: this past week. They I think they ran five jet
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: sweeps with this, with concepcion and crave. You know what,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: they gained yard each and all five of them. You
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: know a lot of times you'll see somebody lose eight
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: or nine yards and they'll blow it up. No, every
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: play was positive. They're able to hit those ten to
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: eleven yard passes to or even five yards to the
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: tight ends. They're wide open. They hit them so many weapons.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: And if you're a defender, who do you stop?
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: Dalton Brooks has becoming a weapon to well, you know,
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: I asked him about that.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah he did. He kind of sloughed it off.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: But but man, that guy and he was a running
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: back right in high school, and you can tell.
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: He looked like running back he did like on that
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: fake punt he was. He did a nice little job
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: weaving right there, No doubt he was.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: He was a stud running back and the uh safety
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: and shy and you're.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Right five five times, three times for Carver and and
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: twice for Conceptio.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: And on those on those verses.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: What do they do? They pick up guard and you
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: got to keep people at home. Yes, it's just another.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they can break them because they have the
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: speed to do.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: They could look a look at the screen pass just
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: a short one mess tackle pass and one mess tackle.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: He's Indian zone.
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: Ye.
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: Well, and you're watching. I know I had fumbled. Bethel
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: Roman is coming on there too. That was a nice
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: catch you made.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: It was a very nice cat for touchdown because we've
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: seen him early in the season drop balls.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: I had two nice catches at LSU.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Yes he did.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: So he's coming off, Yes he did.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: And he's not even the top two no, I know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: but you know he's got to protect the football.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: That was bad because they come up behind him. You're
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: gonna have a sixteen yard game. You're gonna get patted
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: on the head, and you now think about it, that's
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: our first lost fumble of the year.
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: That's amazing.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: That's amazing.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't even think about that.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: When you're in the SEC and people are slapping the
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: ball and wanting to get it, and you think about
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: how many times Reeds carried the ball and they have
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: one fumble. That's amazing.
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: And I continue to be amazed at how good EJ.
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: Smith is in limited roles, but that they give that
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: guy the ball on every short yardist situation and he produces.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: It's really unfair. But he does remind me of his
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: dad in that in.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: That Yeah, loads hard to bring down. He's always moving
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: forward and getting positive yards.
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean just liking the touchdown run you know
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: that you had and it's like he was stopped but
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: he kept on going.
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: You know, he had those Obviously he's got very very
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: powerful leggs like his dad.
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: This team wins by twenty one on the road, and
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: they're missing their starting tail back to the Benie of
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: the Year, they're missing their off linebacker.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: They just don't they're just so deep, yep.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: And they were missing one of they're missing their All
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: American linemen. I mean early in the game. I mean
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: they are so deep and it's hard to measure depth
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: when people don't realize. Some people lose one or two
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: guys they're done.
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: The huge thing, though, knock on wood, if you're a
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: m is that is they have not lost their quarterback.
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: And when you look at Missouri and A and M,
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: the big difference, you're looking at thirteen quarterback and you know,
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: Marcel Reed is so bad. And what I really liked
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: about this game is how few hits Marcel took, right,
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, he didn't take that lately.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Okay, when I laughed the last possession he came out
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: for first play, get a text him, why is he
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: sing the ball? And I'm saying to myself, why is
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: he in the game? Even though he had he was
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: off that play? And once again, that.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Just happened in the NFL last week.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: So much happening. You just think, you know, always say
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: the coaches, there's so much happening.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: But they got fifteen assistants on the sideline.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: One of them's got to be tapping them on their shoulder,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and say, coach, get him out.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: I said, even if he handed a guy off and
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: a guy blitze, exactly, get him out. I just laughed. Well.
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: And there there was the roughing play against Missouri early,
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: which I thought was a really good call, the one
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: when Marcel handed the ball off and then the defensive
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: end hit him anyway and they called the flag. Well, man,
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: I think you got to protect quarterbacks, that they do
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: it at every level. And again, as an m fan,
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: I don't want to see Marcel taking a lot of hits.
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: He's not that big, and I love the fact that
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: he he he did run the football a couple of times,
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: but only a few times.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm I'm kind of on the other way. They
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: run so much in call and these guys run four
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: fives and if you fake real quick and you still
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: got the.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Ball five times, that's tough enough for twenty nine net yards.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: So I'm a little bit If I'm a fisher, I'm
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: going to keep my flagging a little bit more in
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: college because these guys run so much.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: We had first down Stu. Yeah when it did brush
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: the football, Yeah, we did.

  Speaker 1: It's called Gales of November. The author is John Bacon.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. Rust even listened to it.
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: I thought it was fascinating. I just I told you,
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: I think it's one of the books really thought. I
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: thought so many elements are there.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: And I didn't.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I couldn't come close to getting all of them right.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Very ergect this could not come driving over listening to him.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: The guy knows the stuff he does, and it's history
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: is history.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: It's life and death. It's and it's not a it's
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: not a happy book. I mean, you know, twenty nine
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: people were lost and he goes through every one of
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: them and their lives, their backgrounds, the captain.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: It's original, really really good. I'm going to go get that.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: It's a long book, but I tell you you wouldn't
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: know it because I it's a page two.
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, I'm a I love the audio audio books. Yes,
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: and I go through probably yes thirty when you're driving
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: and when I'm driving and working out on.
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: The yard anything like that. So I go through a
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: lot of them. Yeah, and it keeps me on during
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: my workout.
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: It keeps me focused on something other than absolutely you
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: know how much it's hurting.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: I gotta go, all right, we were talking about this
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: during the break.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the little segment from Lane Kiffin answering
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: questions about the College Football Playoff and the rankings.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: See last week.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: I'm so curious now that the first CFP rankings are
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: out where you guys were, where the league was.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Were you encouraged by that? M?
• 35:30
  Speaker 17: I think in some ways a little bit? But you know,
• 35:32
  Speaker 17: I think that some other people have pointed out in
• 35:35
  Speaker 17: other ways. Know, like you know Texas A and M
• 35:40
  Speaker 17: being three, you know, well, what more do you want
• 35:42
  Speaker 17: them to do to be one? You know, like I said,
• 35:46
  Speaker 17: when people want to schedule and they say, okay, man,
• 35:48
  Speaker 17: we need you to schedule hard teams, you know, now
• 35:50
  Speaker 17: nine sec and then play another hard one. Well they
• 35:53
  Speaker 17: went up to Notre Dame and one. So those people
• 35:56
  Speaker 17: that say, man, those schedules are worth it to play that.
• 35:59
  Speaker 17: What if they didn't play Notre Dame, they just played
• 36:02
  Speaker 17: whoever and just had an easy win, they'd be ranking
• 36:04
  Speaker 17: the same spot. So what good did that? What good
• 36:06
  Speaker 17: did that do? If that's not rewarded? You know, so
• 36:10
  Speaker 17: they got the highest metrics everybody, they're not number one,
• 36:13
  Speaker 17: So I don't know. Again, you talk about those two
• 36:18
  Speaker 17: teams right there. Put them on a neutral site. Ask
• 36:21
  Speaker 17: Vegas who win? What's the spread? And that to me
• 36:25
  Speaker 17: shows more than people sitting around the room just guessing.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Classic length.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: Ask him the questions, the money, he's.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Going to answer it, and he's right, he's right. Put
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas in there and and let them set. They
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: know who's favored, who's not favored.
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so I would not be surprised at all.
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: If if is two tomorrow night, you think, yeah, man,
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: I watched the Indiana Penn State game for you know the.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Last part of catch. Man, Oh that catch. There's two
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: catches right, that's their work. Didn't make the catch on
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the sideline was like great catch. It was only you know, outdone.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: But you know what that ball could only be where
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: it was twice for those balls to be caught.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: And the second time the god was getting hit.
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: And if he wins the Heisman Trophy because of that,
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: I'm all for it.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: You know that was a Heisman drive. Yes, Okay, Marcell
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: needs a Heisman drive. He may have he may have
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: it coming.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: He may have it against.
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: Texas, already had it in some regards, but it was
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: not arguing.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Look, I'm not arguing, right, he would he beat Notre
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Dame all that it's forgotten about, right, Yeah, you got
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: to have another one, right us.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Fortunately, And.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: But you know what's interesting is this kid's from Indiana,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and so Indiana they don't produce Heisman Trophy winners, right,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: they have never produced Heisman Trophy winners.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Uh, but they get a lot of publicity.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're twenty four and two in the last
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: two years, I guess.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: But I mean they beat a Penn State team that
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: just lost.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: I understand that, I get it.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I still will say that was a Penn State team
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: that people ranked number one or number two before the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: season began.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: So they thought they had the talent to do.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: It right, right, and they still have some talent. Oh
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: they played great and man, and so.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I don't want to take away from what Indiana did.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: So the thing that Indiana did early on, Look.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter right now to me. You know, it
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter two, three or four right now. It does
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: not matter right now. You're right, it'll matter in four weeks,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter.
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you're exactly right. But the thing that on that
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: drive that was so impressive is they got the sack
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: early on. Yes, they did so he you know, he
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: completed a third and something twenty four yard pass, Yes,
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: about third and eighteen.
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: It was it was big time.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: It was big time.
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: I thought when that said, when when Penstay had a sack,
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: I was like, oh man, I'll say this for Oregon.
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: Oregon is probably not quite as good as what they've been. Okay,
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: but those conditions are brutal. You're you're and this is
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: Big Ten football versus.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: West Coast football.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: And there's an article today about how the West Coast
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: teams are not fitting in and they're not right travel
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: and you can say the same thing with Big Ten
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: that have to go to the West Coast to play
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: right Penn State.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: To Oregon or wherever. Right, it makes no sense. It
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: makes no sense, like a lot of college football right now.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: But my gosh, it is so fun to sit down
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: on Saturday and watch these games and some of these
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: games that I've watched and you're going like Oregon and
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: I what's like, yeah.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: But I'm glued to the end of that football game, right.
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: I was glued to the end of SMU and Miami.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly exactly which I thought was going to be
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: a blowout the other way, but I didn't take it
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: acount the coach.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: As we've talked about, here's the deal is.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: I think A and M definitely could make a bid
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: for a case for number one. Yes, O High State Indiana.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: I know from how tough it is for Indiana to
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: go win at Penn State. It's a little bit like
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: A M beating the.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: L s U.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: No, that's a huge win for that pot.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Well, they haven't done it in exactly forty years.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: And when you consider they have like two or three playmakers,
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: the quarterback, they're wide receivers, and this.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: Is good comparison because LSU is not who we thought
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: right state.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: This is just the product to me of the transfer
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: parlia and everything. There's about twelve teams could win the
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: national championship right now, but it will the bracket's gonna
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: matter back. The bracket didn't matter as much last year
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: because they had screwed up because they had people out
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: of place. Now it's gonna be a little bit better.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: But do you think people will be out of place
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: this year?
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: Not as much because when you had that deal that
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: the Boise State was way too high. Last year kind
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: of screwed.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Everything yeah, not from conference champions. We're just ranking next year.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: What's gonna be nice is that top four is gonna matter.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: You're gonna get it.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Gonna match with people. But I still don't have any
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: faith in the committee seas, but they can.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: Still screw it up.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: They can't.
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: But now I'm worried going forward. As you mentioned, Rusty Man,
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: what does injuries do to it? Because there's such a
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: fine line because you mentioned so many games to win,
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: there's still so many games to play, and as South
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: Carolina is not a great opponent, but it's gonna be
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: a physical opponent. So Adam's got two very big physical
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: games left. That Texas game is gonna be a war.
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: And let's say whoever goes on and plays in the
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: SEC title game next week, that's gonna be a war.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: So you've back to back wars. You can say, well
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: they're gonna get a week off, Well, they're gonna need
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: a week off wherever they are, no doubt, because there's
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: a lot of big games left.
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: Oh in tex Tech, I mean, what they did that.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Impressive, very impressive, very impressive.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: And I've been beating Jacob Rodriguez's driving all season long
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: because I thought, I still think he's one of the
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: best players in college football. I'm not saying and he's
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: gonna win the Heisman, He's not. I'm just saying he
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: is one of the best players, an impact player.
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: Yes he is.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yeah, they're they're good. They're really good.
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: They are good. And I thought, b yu is I
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: want to.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: See Texas Tech and Texas A and M and the
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: cotton ball on New Year's Eve in the quarterfin happened?
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: That'd be great?
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: But would that be hard to get a ticket to?
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: But what I like is people said that, but you
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: take a lot of those teams and match him up.
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of great matchups we're going to see
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: this year because I don't think you could say, oh,
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: this team is definitely gonna win.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think we have one of those teams. Still.
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: No, And again I was like, I watched the Alabama
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: L s U game, was non proud of.
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: The ball. They cannot run the ball's amazing.
• 42:45
  Speaker 8: And you know, I fully expect that Georgia will beat
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: Texas this week.
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: So I mean, but you.
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: Know, if Alabama would play A and M, they would
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: be able to run the ball against you. I hate
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: to say it, because that's one thing probably they've got.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: They've got to tighten it up.
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: It's hard to do when you're already having.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: To understand your nine games in, but they got to
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: tighten that up. All right, we need a break. We'll
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: come back.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: We have technical difficulties and that's probably for the best

• 45:18
  Speaker 1: We are presented by First Financial Bank and in Tech
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: every Monday with Robert Sesna Rusty Berson. What catches your
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: attention in the SEC this week? You talk a little
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: bit about Georgia and Texas. That's gonna be very interesting
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Saturday night.
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, without a doubt. Man at such a huge game
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: and has so many implications. Yep, and uh, George's had
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: Texas's numbers, so to speak, Texas needs a win in
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: the worst way. I was impressed. I can't. I thought
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: Kentucky would pack it in the fact that Kentucky beat Florida,
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: and I know that was in a nothing game. I
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: thought Stoops would head off to the retirement at home.
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: So that was, Uh, that was an interesting game when
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: I saw that. And then you look what Vanderbilt did
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: to pull out a win. You talked about how close
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: we are and what the transferred portal was done by
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: Pavia and what he's been able to do. Every week.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: You just don't know what's gonna happen because it's the SEC.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Chris Pave im presses me tomorrow. Watch him that kid.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you you're special.
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: But man, I don't see how you know, if Texas
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: loses this week with three losses, they're they're not looking
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: at the playoffs anymore.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't think so, I don't think.
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: If you go ahead, well, I.
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: Agree with you, except think about last year Alabama was
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: left out because of the they were nine and three,
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: and if a Texas would have to I agree with you,
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: they only have a prayer. But they would have to
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: beat A and M. Because that way you'd beat the
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: top three team. Because that you your losses would be
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: to the Ohio State and A and M that were
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: both in the top three or four. They would have
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: a chance. But once again is I'd say, if they
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: lose the three, how could you bet on them? They
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: would have no they'd have no big victories. They have
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: no big victory.
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: I fully expect Georgia to win that game. I you know,
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: even though Georgia is not like some of the other
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: Georgia teams we've seen. I'm interested in Alabama and Oklahoma too,
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: because Oklahoma would pressed me a little bit more than.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: I thought, you know, I mean, they shocked me.
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: They I didn't think that they were worth a darn
• 47:30
  Speaker 7: after I watched and play Texas.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: But then, you know, I mean, they've won some games,
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: and I still.
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: Don't think Oklahoma's top fifteen team on But didn't they
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: keep moving me wrong and ship as well? So you're right,
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: that's a big game because Alabama can't run the game.
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: That has to hurt you run the ball.
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, and obviously they're sitting there with two losses too.
• 47:49
  Speaker 8: So I mean, if Alabama and Georgia both win this weekend,
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: I think, oh, you and Texas are out of the playoffs.
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, I think I understand what you're saying too.
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: It's a very slim chance.
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: If Texas were to be texting A and M the
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: day after Thanksgiving, you know, that's a that's a big
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: feather of the cap. But if A and M's eleven
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: and Zer going in there, I know a lot of
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: things could happen, you know, And do you really want
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: to play in the SEC title the game at that point?
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Honestly, I'd rather bypass the SEC.
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: I know I probably would too, be honest.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know I know what it means. I
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: get I get it.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: We've talked about A and M and win a championship,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: says nineteen ninety eight, and they have an excellent chance
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: to do that this year. And you're not going to
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: get anybody over there to say, oh no, we don't
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: want to play in that game. We just want to
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: rest for the playoffs.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no no.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't work that way. But all things being equal,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: give me that week off. Georgia and Old Miss went out,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: then they've got one loss eat right. Yes, if AIM
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: were to lose the Texas I mean, I don't know
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: all the time breakers, but I'm with you, guys.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Hias ranked I think the highest CFP ranking.
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and if you think they ate them would lose,
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: they fall down to the top.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Two, right am? I right about that?
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: The top two highest CFP ranked SEC teams will play
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta.
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: Okay, but you.
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: Don't want to You don't want to lose that game.
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: But you know you don't want to get beat up.
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: But yet you know they're gonna give it all out,
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: so win or lose. That could use recovery.
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: If you go play the game, you want to win
• 49:24
  Speaker 7: the game, right, Absolutely? Yeah, if you're there, absolutely you
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: want to go win the game. Sure, but part of
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: me is, like you ships, like, eh, you know they
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: got You're right, they got a great chance to win
• 49:34
  Speaker 7: the SEC title, but they also have a really good
• 49:36
  Speaker 7: chance to win the national time and that's more important.
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: And if you're going to play this SEC game, when
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: you're playing either Georgia or Old miss or something like
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: that in you know, Alabama, in Alabama, kif Kevin alone
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: is tough to play just because he'll talk trash and
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: hurt you.
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: Well, like I've said, this is like the first year
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: that I can remember where it's say I don't.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Care who him plays. They got a shot against nobody,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: an no question, And.
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't have been able to say that in practically
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: every yase.
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: And know we're old enough to remember nineteen nine two,
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: so people have asked me about nineteen nine two.
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: That team was twelve and oh but they had no
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: prayer against Notre Dame that year. Notre Dame was so
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: much better than.
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: The good look it was on that team.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jerome and Notre Dame.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Look when you said that they had no prayer against
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: that Notre Dame team, that's what you're saying exactly, that
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: they were and it was really good. Yes, but Notre
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Dame was national championship cut.
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: And that's what I'm saying. A and M was not
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: NASS championship good that year nineteen ninet two. Wait they are, Ye, difference,
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: no doubt, that's a big difference, big difference because that
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: Notre Dame team. You know, it could have been a
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: lot more than twenty eight to three. I just remember
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: A and M barely got out.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: That was a really good gore sitting.
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: Here thinking at eight M, four or five more victories,
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: they could be a national chimp. Don't knowing about it.
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: Nothing on the conference champan you're talking about when it's
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: all said done is kind of amazing because AM just
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: hasn't been there.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: So think about it.
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: That's gonna cost me a lot of money if but
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: I do, because I think about how money I've spent
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: on twenty twenty three World Series merchandise, Like, yeah you did,
• 51:09
  Speaker 7: You're still paying for.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: That's gonna put me over the top, you know what.
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: I think got this thing called credit.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: So between Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, who would you like
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: to see A and M play in the SEC Title Game?
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Alabama Georgia ole Miss.
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: I would rather play Alabama or Georgia than than ole Miss. Interesting,
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: I would.
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: Think ole Miss would be less physical because they have
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: a couple of good defensive players, but they're not that
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: great on defense.
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: I think out of the three, I'll take Alabama.
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: That's interesting. I'd say, hey, I think Old Miss would
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: be a better matchup for A and M. I'm looking
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: more as the physicality of it wearing terror because you're
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: gonna have to play that game and turn around.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: When Georgia will beat the hell out of it, because
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: that's that's just what they do exactly.
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: And I think Alabama can't run football and that's where
• 52:00
  Speaker 8: A and M's weakness has been stopping the roun So
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: give me Alabama out of those three, I would be.
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: And now I think about it, when's the when's the
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: semifinal game? Sat end of almost a whole month.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Direct Okay, So in the event of a tie uh
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: in place, the conference championship game had to head competition
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: among the Tide.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: Teams, that wouldn't be a factor with Alabama and Georgia.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're talking about an they had played any of
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: those teams, right, Okay, But we're we're assuming A and
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: M is going to just be in that game.
• 52:31
  Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, is going to be eleven to one at
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: the very worst.
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: That's what we're the worst.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: That's what we're thinking.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, record versus all common Conference opponents among the Tide teams,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: that is a different one.
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: That's number two. That's gonna need a mathematician.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: All of this stuff is crazy.
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: This journalists record.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Against the best placed Common Conference opponent in the standings
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: and proceeding through the conference standings among the Tide teams.
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: In other words, let the committee do it.
• 53:05
  Speaker 7: I'm just gonna let somebody tell me.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: I guess they better just win and make it easy.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the heck man, The last one is a random
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: draw of the Tide teams.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: I guess you flip a coin. Ooh, like the high
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: school players like high school playoffs. That's fifth on the list.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: It's a nice problem to have based on penetration.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Would it be hard?
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Remember just say who the highest rank team is and
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: let's just head to I get head to heads.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: I do understand, Toad, you have to do that.
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: Asn't played a lot of those teams, but then who have.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: They played any of them?
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: Who they played the other team's played, that's yeah, you'd
• 53:43
  Speaker 5: have to look at that. But still, but LSU hadn't
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: beat anybody, so that can't help a and them. Arkansas
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: hadn't beat anybody, had beat.
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: Anybody, Auburn hasn't, so anyway.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know either, I kind
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: of I'm with you With Alabama. I don't think it's
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: the same Alabama.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: And the guy coaching, Nick Sagan's gone, so that's not bad.
• 54:08
  Speaker 10: Ye.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: The quarterback's pretty good, really good. Yeah, but he's pretty
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: loves to get the quarterback that they do. You're absolutely right,
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: cash out.
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: They're good, Yes, they are.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: I don't you know.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Georgia is different because they're one of those they like
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: to run the football like we've been talking about, and.
• 54:28
