  Speaker 1: Me Welcome in. It is All Willie Wednesday. Farm Aid
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is just around the corner. Glad to have you with us.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from Kentucky football coach Will Stein.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Scott Clendenin is here. We have an entertainment segment with Mallory.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: All of that is ahead coming up here today. Within
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the last hour, Texas A & M Athletics released the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: following statement. I'm quoting, there was a heat-related medical emergency
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: at practice yesterday. Thanks to the quick response of our
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: incredible medical staff, we were able to act swiftly and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: provide the student athlete with the care he needed. Out
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: local hospital for evaluation and has since been released. He
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: is now back with the program and will be available soon.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: This weekend. That is the extent of the news right now.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: The LSU Ole Miss rivalry, which continues Saturday night, took
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a turn when Tigers star defensive end Prince Will Umanalan
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: was served with court papers related to the Ole Miss
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: lawsuit against him. The timing of the action is interesting.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: ESPN says Umunna Malan was served in the parking lot
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: outside of the LSU football facility. LSU officials say they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: were generally aware that Ole Miss officials were attempting to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: serve him prior to this week. According to court records
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: at Circuit Court of Lafayette County in Oxford, Umunna Malan
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: was served with the plaintiff's first set of interrogatories, requests
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: for production of documents, and for admission. Meanwhile, Louisiana Governor
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Jeff Landry called out Athletic Director Keith Carter. Ole Miss
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: filed breach of contract lawsuit against him and LSU offensive
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: lineman Devin Harper in July over nearly $ 1 million in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: unpaid buyouts. owed after both players followed Lane Kiffin to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Baton Rouge. Ole Miss' legal escalation, of course, comes just
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a few days before the game. The process server found
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Prince Will in the LSU Football Ops parking lot, Landry posted.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Keith Carter could have saved Ole Miss some money and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: waited until Saturday. He'll be easy to find in the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss backfield. This is just hilarious. I'm telling you.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Umana Malan leads the FBS with five sacks and six
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and a half tackles for loss in two games this season.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: The former Rebels pass rusher was among Kiffin and LSU's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: biggest portal coups. They're suing Harper and Umana Malan To
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: recoup a million in unpaid NIL buyouts on three sports reports,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Harper owes Ole Miss $ 407, 000. Umatamele owes $ 590, 000 after both
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: signed revenue-sharing agreements to remain in Oxford in January before
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: leaving to go to LSU. The ACC announced 2027 football
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: conference opponents for every team today as the conference moves
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to 16 teams playing a nine-game schedule. In 2027, Clemson
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: will be the only ACC team playing eight games. Every
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: ACC team is required to play one Power Four non-conference game.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Annual matchups protected, including Miami, Florida State, Virginia, Virginia Tech,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: North Carolina State, North Carolina. Oregon quarterback Dante Moore's stance
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: has gotten a bit of attention because Cowboys coach Eric
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Morris told the CBS Sports Network, that two of his linebackers,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Ethan Weslowski and Tate Romney, who he called sharp kids
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and had played a ton of football, found a tell.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Morris said, coaches are always paranoid. We're paranoid about getting
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: our signals stolen. We're paranoid about whether we're tipping something off,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: either the stance of an offensive lineman or how a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: quarterback stands. Morris said that the two linebackers found that
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Moore's feet are parallel when there's a running play and
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: they're offset when there's a passing play. Something helped because
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma beat down Oregon last Saturday. The Athletic has posed
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a roster of the 10 highest college football roster budgets.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: 10 Alabama, 9 Tennessee, 8 Ole Miss, 7 Notre Dame,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: 6 Miami, 5 A & M, estimated to be in
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the $ 45 to $ 50 million range. LSU, $ 47 to $ 50 million. Texas,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: $ 45 to $ 55 million. Oregon, $ 48 to $ 54 million. And
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, an estimated $ 49 to $ 54 million. That's what
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: these rosters apparently are worth this year. Meanwhile, Miami is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: returning to Nike for one of the most lucrative deals
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in college sports history. Football Scoop reports a 10-year contract
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: worth more than $ 200 million. Adidas made a counteroffer. but
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: did not match Nike's terms. Nike's stock has fallen like
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a rock in the past couple of years. The Texas
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Rangers remain one game behind the Astros in the AL West,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a game and a half back of the wildcard chase.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: They will host the Boston Red Sox again tonight. McKenzie
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Gore on the mound. Jake Bennett for the Red Sox.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Last night, the Rangers scored four early and hung on
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to beat the Red Sox 4-2. Jacob DeGrom had five innings.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Limited the Red Sox to two runs on three hits
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: with a walk and eight strikeouts. He has struck out
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: 20 batters in his last two outings. He lasted only
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: five innings. But Jacob Latz pitched an inning and two-thirds
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of relief to notch his 30th save of the season.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Just the second Ranger in the last year. Ten years
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to have 30 saves. The Astros remained in front in
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the West, beating Michael Wacca and the Royals 4-2 last night.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: The Astros had just four base hits. But Jeremy Pena
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: had two home runs. Your Don Alvarez had a home run.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: All four saves.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Astros runs came on the three home runs. The PGA Tour,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: according to Bob Herrig, is leaning into a meritocracy narrative
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: with its 2028 structure. They announced new criteria. an upper
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: championship series for two years instead of five. The top
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: 90 players in the point standing will keep their position
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: for the following year. It's interesting. The tour's keeping eligibility
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: standards through next year, which means Rory McIlroy, Aaron Rye,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Wyndham Clark, Ryan Fox, the major championship winners are exempted
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: into the series through 2031. Starting next year, the changes
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: adjust to just two years. It would normally be five.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And Tiger will have one shot at the championship series
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: as the all-time career money list earner. Well, he's second
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: now behind Scottie. That would require him to play 15
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: times in 2027, which he's not going to do. There
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: is a stipulation that would allow him to bypass a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: 15 tournament minimum based on a medical waiver, but Tiger
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: would have only one time exemption, and then would need
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to earn their way onto the tour two years from now.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. I don't know about all
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the majors stuff. It's a different day. It's a different time.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit weird. Tomorrow, high school report. Jason
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: will be hosting On Friday, Ryan and Caleb will be in.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I will be visiting, as always, with Kurt Bowles and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Tony Catalina on Friday. On Monday, Frank Abrams will join me.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: He has written a book called The Slander of Billy
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the Kid and the Abrams Tid Types. It is really...
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a well-researched book with a otherworldly story. Frank Abrams will
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: join me Monday. Phone the neighbors, wake the kids. On Tuesday,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Jeff Apter, author of a book called Roy Orbison, King
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: of Hearts, will join us from down under, across the pond, online. Okay? So, no,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: that's not right. I apologize. It will be either Wednesday
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: or Thursday. We're 15 hours apart. We're having to tape
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a Zoom call. I'm scheduled to do that Tuesday evening,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and then we'll figure out whether Jeff will be with
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: us on Wednesday's show or on Thursday's show of next week, okay?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: But again, that's one you need to phone the neighbors
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and wake the kids for. Okay, I'm going to take
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: a break. We're going to hear from Kentucky football coach
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Will Stein when we come back after this for ANCO Insurance.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: Anco Insurance is now a part of Hub International, bringing
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: you more choices, better value, and even greater expertise. While
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: our name has changed, we're still the same local team
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: you know and trust. Now with even more to offer,
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: from business insurance to personal protection and employee benefits, we're

  Speaker 6: behind us, more resources, more solutions, still your team. Anco Insurance,

• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Activate.

  Speaker 7: Spend your Aggie football Saturdays starting with.
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: The game day show, to the game, to the call-in show,
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: and only on the Sony 1150 AM and 93.7 FM.
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: You called me country willy.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: The night you walked away with the one who promised
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: you a life of joy.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: We're going back a ways with the country Willie. It
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: is all Willie Wednesday. We thank you for hanging in
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: with us. Scott Clendenin will be here in 15 or
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: 20 minutes. We will have some topics, lots of topics
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: for you on this game weekend. So we got that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: going on for us, which is nice. Will Stein is
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the very young, very new head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And judging by what we've seen from Oregon so far,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Dan Lanning misses Will Stein. Here he is with his
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: weekly news conference from Lexington.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Really exceptional practice today. They responded to the call by
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: me and by these coaches. Practiced with great physicality, toughness,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: and put them in a lot of different situations today.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: sudden change situations. Put our defense out there up 17-16
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: in the third quarter. That's the situation that they had.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Put the offense up there down 23-17 in the fourth quarter.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: That was the situation they had to go compete. I
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: thought they handled that. Obviously, we're heading to College Station.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Great college town, elite team. Great head coach, Mike Elko.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Got a ton of respect for him and what he's
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: done there and throughout his career. It's going to be
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: an elite atmosphere we've got to be ready for. You know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: it's still about us, our ability to play one snap
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: at a time for four quarters. That's our mentality going
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: into this. There's no poor me's, no shoulda, coulda, wouldas.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: All right, we got beat in the last game. Now
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: it's time to turn the page and move on, and
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: we have to continue to compete and finish.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: That's the big thing. Can we finish? But a great
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: opportunity to head against a really good opponent. So with that,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: I'll open it up.
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: Raise your hand, and I'm going to call on you
• 16:35
  Speaker 11: to say your name and your outlet.
• 16:36
  Speaker 12: Nick Rogers against Harvard. You mentioned the third down stat.
• 16:40
  Speaker 12: I think A & M might be 3 of 22
• 16:41
  Speaker 12: or something along those lines. So what do they do
• 16:44
  Speaker 12: well on third down defense and what do you have
• 16:46
  Speaker 12: to do to it?
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean, I think A & M, they
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: obviously have a really good pass rush package and they
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: have great rushers up front. So they create a lot
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: of confusion and protection with big overload fronts and bringing
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: it opposite. They match routes really well, which when you
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: got really good secondary like they do, they will play
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: tight man match defense and not give up a lot
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: of freebies. So they've been good on third downs for
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: a long time, especially in that scheme. The same things
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: that we're doing and they're doing, they're probably a little
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: bit more advanced evolved or more have evolved more than
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: maybe we have at this point just because they're in
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: year three or you know of their system but yeah
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: they've been really good a lot of it's because of
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: the packages that they bring.
• 17:27
  Speaker 12: Out obviously we've evolved minor things shouldn't happen.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he went every single rep today. Taped it up,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: popped out on him like three times. Critical third and one,
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: he wasn't in there because of that. So that was
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: unfortunate for us. But yeah, he went every single snap today.
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: Lee K, Howard, WKYT, well, you said after the game,
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: something like, sometimes a loss is good or a shock
• 18:01
  Speaker 11: to your system, so to speak.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: They kind of put you into some perspective. Did you
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: get that feeling from the players? Like, that was kind
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: of the reaction that they had as well.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen, it's... I told them, there's... There's–
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: what's my saying? When you win, there's enough for everybody,
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: and when you lose, there's not enough for anybody. So
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: you beat a team that you're supposed to beat in
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: week one and look a certain way and have success scoring.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Everybody's happy. You go out there and you don't play
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: well in the second half and you have, what, 40
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: yards of offense or whatever it was, really poor effort.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: You know, that's when the poor me's can set in.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I've not felt that from my team. I thought they
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: responded today extremely well. They were looking me in the
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: eye after the game. They hurt just like I do
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: because nobody likes to lose. You know, I'm usually not
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: going to be a great loser in my life because
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: I want to win every single snap.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: But that's the reality that happened.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: We got hit by a really good opponent when we
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: had opportunities to win the game.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: So, like I said, we've moved on and we had
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: a really good practice today.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Jordan Adams, who Joe mentioned in his press conference yesterday night,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: pretty much changes the terminology of his defense every single year.
• 19:12
  Speaker 12: Even with that, how important will Jay be this weekend?
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think Jay's got a– obviously he does
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: a great job. Jay's done a great job since he's
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: gotten here. And, you know, you can only control what
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: you can. I mean, we've changed terminology every single year
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: regardless of opponent just because you get signals put on tape,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: on TV copies.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: You know, you can hear cadence now on TV. So
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: you've got to be adaptable.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: If you're doing the same exact thing every single year,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: then you're probably going to get picked up on. But, yeah,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Jay's been a big help, and it's just been a
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: big help because we're going against– A very, very similar
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: defense every single day as we're about to see. we'll
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: talk about we need to get more explosive just how
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: do you do that you feel like you're not taking
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: the swings you need to take the passing game is
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: it tempo related just Yeah.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I think too, when, you know, early on you throw
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: a pick six, right. You get a sack fumble, you know,
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I think the natural thought is, all right, we've got
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: to protect the guy in the pocket. You know, we
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: were having a little bit of issues on the right
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: side and protection issues. And so get the ball out
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: quick is kind of the mentality, being able to run
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: the ball, keep it away from a really explosive offense
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: and explosive quarterback. But then you kind of set yourself
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: back a little bit from those punches like you mentioned.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: So there were specific times in the game that I
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: felt like we could have taken those punches.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: And that's not a Joe Sloan problem. That's a me problem.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: And so what can I do as the head coach
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: in those moments to give our players and give our
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: coaches– that type of confidence to go out there and
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: swing when we have a chance. And, um, you know,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: you saw in like, I think it was a second down,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: maybe it was a second and nine backed up. We
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: threw the flood pass to Willie. Like that was a
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: good explosive pass on a second down at nine. Um,
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: So it doesn't always have to be run, run, pass.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: It can be pass, run, pass. You know what I'm saying.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: So I think it's just about we lost rhythm, and
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: then it was a little bit of trying to protect
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: us on offense with our defense playing well, and then
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: obviously the decision to go forward on the fake punt
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: really lost momentum pretty quickly after that.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: But, yeah, it's a good learning lesson for all of
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: us that we just got to be aggressive. Jeff?
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: Probably Jason.
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: On the trip to the doctor, they didn't reveal anything
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: from the first half when we moved the ball.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Well, it's the second half for Alabama. Yeah.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, we were really moving on, you know, the
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: first drive we were moving on really majority of the
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: first half, we were moving the line of scrimmage.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: We were getting six and seven yards of pop on runs.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Um, you know, I think they started to plug some
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: backers on some of our pin and pull schemes, which
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: got us on the one, uh, Lance should have just
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: gone down on the blitzing safety in.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: The, in the, in the, um, in the B gap
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: and we didn't.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: And he had the TFL for, for loss, which could
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: have been a big play. We ran a truck toss
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: to the field. We just didn't stay sticky on our blocks,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: which could have been an explosive to the left side.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: So there was just a little things here and there.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: I don't think it was a bunch of schematic flaws.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I think it was, you know, some poor technique and fundamentals.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: And that's on us. That's on us as coaches to
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: make sure we get right. Our players played really hard.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: You know, they did. They just, we just didn't finish.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that was, you know, obviously big for him.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: And you're right, he hasn't been out there much and,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: you know, got cleared to play last week and felt
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: like he was, you know, capable to.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Go out there and especially give us some added depth
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: to that room.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: So it was not a knock on Javante based on
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: his statistics. He played hard, and he had a really
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: good day to practice today. I think just getting back
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: in the flow and having a full week of practice
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: and prep is going to help him moving forward.
• 23:10
  Speaker 13: Well, anything you can say about Ron Nichols?
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he was available all week.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: He practiced all week, and then really late, In the process,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Friday night, Saturday morning, it was a little bit like
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: he can go, but we feel like it was best
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: to not put him out there in those situations.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: He went every single rep today. I know that. I
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: watched it with my own eyes. He was running around
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: fast and had to hop in his steps. My expectations
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: is that with that, he's going to play this Saturday.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Obviously, Kenny didn't actually play against Texas A & M
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: two years ago, but.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: For him being down there, seeing the atmosphere, you know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: over 100,000, do you think that will help him as
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: he gets onto the field on Saturday night?
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, potentially.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: I think what happened this past weekend is going to
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: help him a lot. I think in the environment that
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: he just played in, elite atmosphere here in Kroger Field
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: against a top-10 team that he just saw, one of
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: the best defenses probably in the country, I think that's
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: going to help him a lot.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Time on task is huge, especially at.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: The quarterback position where you have to have some meaningful
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: game reps involved. You know, week one was week one.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: We did what we're supposed to do. There was a
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: very clean pocket. But how you operate in muddy pockets,
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: how do you operate outside the pocket is going to
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: dictate our success on offense.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: So, you know, he did not.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Play his best, but I loved his mindset because he
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: played every play literally like was.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: A one play focus. And that's what I'm proud of
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: him more than anything.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: What happened happened, but I thought he had the right
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: mindset coming out of the game. He responded correctly today,
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: and he's got to continue to improve, but he definitely
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: can play better.
• 24:57
  Speaker 12: There's so many coachable moments for a quarterback in a game.
• 25:00
  Speaker 12: You've been coaching him forever. So what's the fine line
• 25:05
  Speaker 12: of maybe overcoaching specific decision-making when that makes pressure to them?
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, you have to put them in these positions
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: in practice, you know, like, you know, you have to
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: throw the ball away in practice. And so we had
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: a second and 10 and or as a first and
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: 10 quads motion to the field, a little stick with
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: a wide cross and pushed up the pocket nicely and
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: just throw the ball away.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Took a four yard sack for no reason.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Like that is where that's a growth opportunity for him,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: even though he's an older guy. first real opportunity trying
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: to make a play. The right play is to throw
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: the ball away. It's not to try to do something
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: outside of the realm of the offense. So that to
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: me was a great opportunity for him to grow. Um,
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: The pocket in this league is going to look like that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: You have some freak daddies on the outside that can rush.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: You've got to get used to that. That's not going
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: to change. It's not going to change this week. It's
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: not going to change the rest of the year. There's
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: going to be elite edge rushers, elite three techniques that
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: can go push the pocket. Creating depth in your drop,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: being firm on the outside, not getting beat on the outside,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: helping in protection too. And, you know, we think about
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: not just the player, but what can we do as
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: coaches to help our players?
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: What schemes can we do? What can we move the pocket?
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Can we max pro there's gives and takes to every decision.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: When you move the pocket, you cut the half of
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: the field. When you max pro you lose two receivers.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: So there's a lot of different ways that we can
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: attack it. And that's what we're working on right now.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: It's Will Stein, the head coach at, at Kentucky and,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Kenny Menchie was here. They were talking about that two
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: years ago at Kyle Field as a backup quarterback. So
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: he got a taste of the atmosphere. C.J. Baxter is
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the running back who is a transfer from Texas. And
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: he was talking about the fact that Baxter has a
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: thumb injury. Baxter highly coveted running back that has had
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: all kinds of health issues. Never became at Texas what
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: they had hoped. Injuries had a lot to do with that.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Baxter is one of those guys you want in your
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: locker room. 6'1, 230, a big back. But like I said,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: just never quite became what Texas wanted. So they traded
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: him in. They traded Travion Wisner in for Brown and
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Hollywood Smothers. Looks like so far a good trade. Smothers
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: was from North Carolina State, I think. Was really good
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: against Ohio State. Saturday night. And. And Brown was too.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Although Brown fumbled the first play of the game. Smothers fumbled.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: At the goal line. And was very fortunate with such
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: a pop. And I'm not sure who came up with
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the ball. Because there was no way of telling. They
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: reviewed it. Said the call on the field stood. Which was.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: He did not score. And Ohio State did not recover
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the fumble. It was just one of those pileups that
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: there was no camera angle that you could tell on that.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this yesterday. Only the fourth
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: time Kentucky and A & M have met. But they
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: have some deep history. It goes back to the Bear
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Bryant days.
• 29:08
  Speaker 13: And now.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: They have a defensive coordinator that was here at Texas
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: A & M. And if you heard Coach Elko yesterday,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: he talked about how paranoid he is with stuff like that,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: changing signals and that kind of stuff. Now, Bateman's defense
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: gave up 45 to Alabama, but I will tell you
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: not all of that was their fault. They handed the
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: ball over, too, a couple of times in that game.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: We're going to break. We're going to come back. Scott
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Clendiden is with us. And I'm told now that we
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: have a Pinch hitter for Mallory in the second hour.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Lizzie will be in with all of our entertainment news.
• 30:08

  Speaker 11: The time.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Thanks for being with us. Glad to have
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: you here on a Wednesday. Scott Clendiden is in. We've
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: probably got several topics, but let's start with Major League Baseball.
• 34:30
  Speaker 11: Why would we start with Major League Baseball?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Well, it looks like we're coming down to the wire here.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Michael Wacca really let me down last night.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: He only gave up three home runs. I know.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: And Apparently, my guess is he called Skip Schumacher to
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: get some ideas on how to pitch Jordan Alvarez.
• 34:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: And Jeremy Pena, for that matter.
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: Why would he call Scott Schumacher?
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, Skip. Skip.
• 35:00
  Speaker 11: Why would he call Scott Schumacher?
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: No.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Skip.
• 35:04
  Speaker 11: Who's Skip Schumacher?
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Who is Skip Schumacher?
• 35:08
  Speaker 11: Who is he?
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Um.
• 35:11
  Speaker 11: Is that the Rangers manager?
• 35:13
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: Well, I didn't know that. I thought his given name
• 35:15
  Speaker 11: was Scott.
• 35:16
  Speaker 12: No.
• 35:17
  Speaker 11: You sure that's not his Christian name?
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't really care. I really
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: don't care. That's not what I'm asking about. Uh, still
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: one game, virtually a two game lead.
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: Two game.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 35:30
  Speaker 18: Yep.
• 35:31
  Speaker 11: Um, Jared Michael Schumacher.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Never saw that one coming.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: No.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Again, I don't care. Uh, I'm looking at the two schedules.
• 35:45
  Speaker 11: He was a Marlins coach?
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he won there, actually.
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: And they fired him?
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 35:51
  Speaker 11: Well, that's a Marlins thing to do.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Exactly. That's what the Marlins do. I think he meant,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't remember all that issue. I'd
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: be surprised if there was money involved, you know.
• 36:08
  Speaker 11: No, it says his last salary was like his last
• 36:11
  Speaker 11: as a player. On the Wikipedia.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. So we don't know.
• 36:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah, no, we don't know.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the schedules here.
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Here they are. Okay. There's 11 games left. Mm-hmm. The
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Rangers are at home.
• 36:37
  Speaker 11: Nine.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Eight.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: With eight of those.
• 36:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: Okay. Okay.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: The Astros have how many?
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: Six home games.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: They have six home games and five on the road.
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: They close with two, which is weird, at Seattle.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: And then, no, I guess, yeah, two at Seattle. They
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: just play two games at Seattle. Yes. And they close
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: with four at Oakland.
• 37:07
  Speaker 11: Four at Oakland.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Four at Oakland.
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Which neither the Rangers nor the– normally you'd say, well,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: that's a huge Astros advantage because neither of those teams are.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: But when you're playing teams like that, we've seen many
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: times before, sometimes the team that has everything to play
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: for is a little bit tight. And the teams that
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: have nothing to play for have nothing to play for.
• 37:36
  Speaker 11: Are we going to discuss the Seattle Mariners, speaking of
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: that topic?
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: How so?
• 37:41
  Speaker 11: They have been real bad against the Angels and the
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: Athletics the last two weeks.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they haven't been very good.
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: They had the easiest schedule remaining in the major leagues
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: by a long shot.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: By virtue of the one loss record of the teams
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: they were playing.
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: By virtue of the one loss record of the teams
• 38:03
  Speaker 11: they were playing.
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 38:04
  Speaker 11: They had the A's, the Athletics, the Rockies, and some
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: other bad team in this thing, and the two games
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: with the Astros.
• 38:14
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 38:16
  Speaker 11: And they keep spitting a bit. I mean, and you're
• 38:23
  Speaker 11: talking about games like in the eighth and ninth inning
• 38:25
  Speaker 11: where they're in the extra innings. They're just choking up
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: leads to the A's and the Athletics.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, they don't have any shot anyway.
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: If they could have got back.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: If, if, if. They're in the West.
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: No, I'm just saying.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: No, I know. They're in the West. They had a shot.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: They did have a shot.
• 38:40
  Speaker 11: Some people were saying they might be the favorites if
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: you're looking at the schedule because.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Because about three weeks ago... The Astros and the Rangers
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: were like 11th and 12th. Yep.
• 38:53
  Speaker 11: And Seattle's remaining streak of the schedule was 30. It
• 38:56
  Speaker 11: was 30 then. It's 30 now.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:59
  Speaker 11: So it was like, can you get... You know, can
• 39:01
  Speaker 11: you force the three-way tie? It was right before they
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: played the Rangers.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Well, look, the schedule is that the Astros certainly have
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: the better schedule. The Rangers have to play Boston and Toronto.
• 39:17
  Speaker 11: The Astros have to play the Braves.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: Okay. So?
• 39:22
  Speaker 11: It's a wash.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: It's not a wash. I think the Astros are.
• 39:27
  Speaker 11: Do you think the Mets are going to stand up?
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Because? the Astros are finishing with Seattle and Oakland. I mean,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: even though it's on the road, they're finishing with Seattle
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and Oakland. The Rangers have Boston and Toronto. They have
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the Mets. They have the Twins. Those aren't bad teams
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: at all. So, besides it's the Rangers... They're.
• 39:51
  Speaker 11: Going to tie, Chip.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you said that.
• 39:53
  Speaker 11: I told you that a month ago.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: You mean by record.
• 39:55
  Speaker 11: By record.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: 81 and 81.
• 39:57
  Speaker 11: 81 and 81. They're going to tie.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Perfect 500.
• 40:00
  Speaker 11: Perfect 500.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Well, what the Rangers need right now is either to win.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: So six and five would give the Rangers the perfect
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: 81 and 81 record.
• 40:14
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: The Astros would be 5-6. Both of those scenarios are
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: more than plausible that they would finish tied at 81.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: So what the Rangers need is for the White Sox
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: to lose. They're 77-75 right now. They lost today. They're
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: playing the Guardians, who now lead the division by half
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: a game. So they've got their own battle going right there, right?
• 40:41
  Speaker 11: So what is... I did not know they played this afternoon.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, Cleveland won. Cleveland's now 78-75. Chicago is 77-75.
• 40:53
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: So, yeah. One of those teams needs to just make
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: a big run. It doesn't matter which one at this point. No,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want either of them to make a big run.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Need one team to choke and one team to make
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: a big run.
• 41:06
  Speaker 11: I want both of them to choke.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Because of wild card implications?
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: No, because if... the winner of the West would then
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: be the second division leader.
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: Meaning?
• 41:19
  Speaker 11: Meaning they would get a bye. They wouldn't even play
• 41:21
  Speaker 11: in the wildcard round.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: The division winner.
• 41:25
  Speaker 11: The division winner.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: With the best record.
• 41:27
  Speaker 11: The second best record. So if the Astros won today,
• 41:32
  Speaker 11: they would be 77-75 and half a game behind the
• 41:34
  Speaker 11: Guardians for the.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: For the record.
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: The record.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Best record.
• 41:43
  Speaker 11: For the division.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the East winner is probably the Rays. They've
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: got 90 wins.
• 41:52
  Speaker 11: But the Astros have the season series over both the
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: White Sox and the Guardians. They would win the tiebreaker
• 41:59
  Speaker 11: and get a pie. They can be in the West
• 42:01
  Speaker 11: and get a pie, Chip.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: That's crazy talk. Crazy talk. Okay, we need a break.
• 42:07

  Speaker 19: Local experts, national standards. The Houston Astros opened up their
• 43:26
  Speaker 19: series with the Kansas City Royals on a high note,
• 43:29
  Speaker 19: winning by a score of 4-2. Jeremy Pena was lights
• 43:33
  Speaker 19: out last night, hitting two solo home runs in the
• 43:36
  Speaker 19: first three innings.
• 43:37
  Speaker 16: This one's lifted to left.
• 43:39
  Speaker 11: That's got a chance.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Si, senor!
• 43:45
  Speaker 19: Pena does it again.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: It's 2-0.
• 43:48
  Speaker 19: The Royals would cut the Astros' lead to 2-1 in
• 43:51
  Speaker 19: the top of the fifth, but Jordan Alvarez crushed all
• 43:54
  Speaker 19: hope with a two-run blast in the bottom of the frame.
• 43:58
  Speaker 19: With a win, the Astros remain one game ahead of
• 44:01
  Speaker 19: the Texas Rangers for the lead in the AL West.
• 44:04
  Speaker 19: The Astros will try to clinch the series win tonight
• 44:06

  Speaker 1: Flooring and Chad Jones Law. Okay.
• 47:23
  Speaker 11: So what about the Rangers?
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: What about them?
• 47:27
  Speaker 11: Well, why are they winning some games now?
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: They're playing at home. They won one game. Well, they've
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: won four out of five or three out of four
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. So they're up to lose
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: three out of four. I've said all year they're right
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: out of 500 team. Yeah. Which we've.
• 47:44
  Speaker 11: Well, their last 10 games are 5-5. There you go.
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: Beautiful.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: That's what they should be. That's what their record says
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: they are. According to the great Bill Parcell.
• 47:54
  Speaker 11: They're going to make the playoffs, Chip.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 47:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 48:00
  Speaker 11: Because I don't think Toronto's going to catch them even
• 48:02
  Speaker 11: though they're only half a game behind them.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: You don't?
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: No.
• 48:10
  Speaker 11: Chip, do I have to pump you up again?
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Do you remember.
• 48:14
  Speaker 11: The World Series year when I told you you shouldn't
• 48:16
  Speaker 11: be giving up?
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: No, I don't remember that. They won the World Series.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think I ever gave up.
• 48:26
  Speaker 11: You're a funny man.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: You want to do some– let's do Florida State real quick.
• 48:36
  Speaker 11: Who are they playing this weekend?
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Alabama, right?
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: Where?
• 48:42
  Speaker 12: Where?
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: In Tuscaloosa?
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: They're going to lose that game.
• 48:47
  Speaker 11: You think so?
• 48:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they're going to lose it. So, Florida
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: State fired their AD. Today, Norvell was asked about the
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: moving trucks in front of his house because there's, you know, video, supposedly, pictures.
• 49:07
  Speaker 11: You're kidding me.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. I'm not kidding you. And he,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, he didn't really answer that. It was
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: one of those. we're all focused on this team and
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: this game right now.
• 49:23
  Speaker 11: Where's his Christmas tree?
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Hadn't been put up yet.
• 49:29
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: So thought that was interesting. Because, yeah, we've been through
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: this before at Florida State, have we not?
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: And as it turns out, That was a true picture,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: was it not? Yes, it was.
• 49:43
  Speaker 11: It was not doctored.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: It was not doctored.
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: We had no AI back then.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 49:49
  Speaker 11: So this was a real picture of.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: It was a picture, and he did not really provide...
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: He didn't say, that's AI-generated, guys. Y'all need to settle down.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere. There was none of that. And
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the president who fired the AD, his statement,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Richard McCullough... was I really, really like Mike Norvell. That
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: was his endorsement of the football program. I think he's
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: a great person.
• 50:25
  Speaker 11: Are they mad at the ACC that the ACC will
• 50:29
  Speaker 11: still give them money when they're garbage?
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: It's who mad?
• 50:34
  Speaker 11: Florida State.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Why would they be mad?
• 50:37
  Speaker 11: Because, you know, we're carrying this conference.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not doing that anymore.
• 50:42
  Speaker 11: What about in, well, let me ask this as a
• 50:47
  Speaker 11: South Carolinian Gamecock.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: Okay. Since all dirt roads in the state run to Clemson,
• 50:55
  Speaker 11: are they complaining about the money they get from the
• 50:58
  Speaker 11: ACC now?
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Clemson?
• 50:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 51:00
  Speaker 11: Are they too good for the ACC now?
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Clemson needs to focus on winning some football games.
• 51:09
  Speaker 11: Florida State and Clemson need to focus on winning football
• 51:12
  Speaker 11: games and not trying to jump into another conference.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: They don't look like either of those teams are capable
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: of winning a lot of football games this season. They
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: just don't look like they're capable of doing that.
• 51:30
  Speaker 11: Who is more likely... Because of the strain in the
• 51:34
  Speaker 11: budget that firing those two coaches will incur, who would
• 51:40
  Speaker 11: be more likely to hire Jimbo Fisher out of those
• 51:44
  Speaker 11: two schools? Because Jimbo can coach for free as far as.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Florida State for sure.
• 51:51
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you heard that we want Jimbo Chance during the
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: SMU game.
• 51:58
  Speaker 11: Really?
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, he was there.
• 52:00
  Speaker 11: Yes, he was.
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Doing the color and all that. And actually, let me
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: say this. I thought Jimbo was pretty good.
• 52:07
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he was.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: He slowed down, right?
• 52:11
  Speaker 11: Considerably. Well, because he didn't have power, there was no speedy,
• 52:17
  Speaker 11: fast teleprompter.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: I thought he was pretty good.
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I thought he was a better color analyst than he
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: was a football coach.
• 52:24
  Speaker 11: I thought he was really good during the national championship game.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, on the coach cast?
• 52:29
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was pretty good then, too.
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: Yes. Yeah.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, the thing about these coaches is, right now,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: when they don't have an allegiance, they can say whatever
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: the heck they want. And when they're getting paid $ 100 million,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: they don't have to hold back, right?
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: No.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: They can just say whatever's on their mind. And that
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: makes for a good color analyst.
• 52:54
  Speaker 11: Freedom.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they got freedom. They're not beholden to anybody or
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: anything or worried about what they might say. So....
• 53:04
  Speaker 11: Is it possible?
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Is it possible? Am I right about this? Clemson owes
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Dabo $ 53 million?
• 53:11
  Speaker 19: Yes.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Okay. Not saying they wouldn't. LSU paid $ 54 million for
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to pay Lake Kiffin even more than that.
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 53:23
  Speaker 11: Norvell's buyout is 46.7.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: That's a lot. But they just spent a lot of
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: money there. That's something that Jimbo said they weren't going
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: to do. They just finally have upgraded the stadium and
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: that new facility they have for the players. That's a
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: lot of money.
• 53:43
  Speaker 11: There's been three coaches since Jimbo's been there.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. But they finally did it, right? They
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: finally did all of that.
• 53:51
  Speaker 11: That he kept asking for?
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, put the money in it. And my point is,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: they've spent a lot of money. Can they afford $ 46 million?
• 54:04
  Speaker 11: If Jimbo wants to coach him, he'll give you a
• 54:06
  Speaker 11: discount because A & M' s paying him seven and a half.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: But I don't think he gets paid if he had
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: a coaching job. That's not right. He gets all of
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: it regardless.
• 54:16
  Speaker 11: It's $ 186 million, I think.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: No, it was 75. No, they had to pay half
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: of it up front and then the other half. I
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: thought it was way more than that.
• 54:31
  Speaker 11: Fisher's buyout was $ 77 million.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, he doesn't have nearly as much money as I
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: thought he did. He's about broke.
• 54:41
  Speaker 11: $ 19 million due within 60 days.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: So he got $ 19 million up front.
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: And, you know, that's nasty for tax purposes.
• 54:49
  Speaker 11: So through 2031, so eight years, he gets $ 7. 5 million
• 54:55
  Speaker 11: a year.
• 54:56
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 54:56
  Speaker 11: That's what I'm saying. He doesn't—you don't have to break
• 54:59
  Speaker 11: the bank if he wants to go coach somewhere.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Would you hire him?
• 55:07
  Speaker 11: Would he be worse than Mike Norvell?
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: Would you hire him?
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 55:11
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 55:12
  Speaker 11: I think he's a better coach than Mike Norvell. I'm
• 55:13
  Speaker 11: not saying that he's a better coach than Dabo. Dabo
• 55:17
  Speaker 11: has done this to himself and not recruiting. I think
• 55:20
  Speaker 11: Jimbo would easily embrace the transfer portal and be good
• 55:27
  Speaker 11: at that like he was good with being in the
• 55:31
  Speaker 11: homes of the 17-year-olds anyway. Jim O'Fisher was a really
• 55:36
  Speaker 11: good recruiter. So I'm not going to sit there and
• 55:40
  Speaker 11: act like he couldn't, that he couldn't adapt. Nick Saban
• 55:45
  Speaker 11: might not have wanted to do it. Nick Saban would
• 55:48
  Speaker 11: have had no trouble adapting to it.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: No, no doubt. All right, we need a break. We'll
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: be back, close out the first hour. David Gardner's is
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: open right now for another hour until six o'clock. You
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: need to drop by and check out the new digs
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: that he and Julia put together over there, the expanded
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: Rolex area, all of the DG designs under the glass,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: under the cases, all of the new gemstones that he
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: has used to create all the original DG designs, the pendants,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: the necklaces, whatever. And people that will help you If
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: you're not good at stuff like this, when you buy
• 56:36
