- 1:41Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, opportunity to see Steph Curry. You know,
- 1:43Speaker 2: Willy Green fire. I said, I ain't gonna spend no
- 1:45Speaker 2: money with the franchise until Willy Green was gone. He
- 1:48Speaker 2: was gone. A boy hit me up and say, hey,
- 1:50Speaker 2: we're going to the game. We're gonna watch Curry. Yeah,
- 1:52Speaker 2: sitting good one oh four, So be right there. I'm like, man,
- 1:56Speaker 2: this this this might be the night. It isn't you know.
- 1:59Speaker 2: It wasn't even about getting to win. It was about
- 2:00Speaker 2: covering the plus eleven, but it was really also about
- 2:04Speaker 2: you know, great teams, you know, great teams covered. But
- 2:07Speaker 2: also at the same time, it's to see Steph Curry.
- 2:10Speaker 2: So we paid, you know, probably close like one fifty
- 2:14Speaker 2: all in total to watch Steph Curry dropped nine points. Yeah,
- 2:17Speaker 2: and Moses Moody turning into Kobe Bryant and yeah one
- 2:21Speaker 2: time Moody. Yeah, Moses Moody just turns into Kobe Bryant
- 2:25Speaker 2: and Steph Curry drops nine points.
- 2:27Speaker 5: Like seventeen bucks a point.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:29Speaker 5: Man, that's definitely Draymond get mad though, I.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Mean that was cool. I was mad I didn't get
- 2:34Speaker 2: to get in on film, Like I noticed it too
- 2:36Speaker 2: late because I was like mighty stopping the game and
- 2:39Speaker 2: you just look over and then to see the dude
- 2:40Speaker 2: like Draymond going at it.
- 2:42Speaker 5: What do you trying to get? That guy on the
- 2:43Speaker 5: show like he was confident.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Who Draymond or the other guy?
- 2:46Speaker 5: The other guy?
- 2:46Speaker 3: His last name also Green?
- 2:48Speaker 2: How cool is that really?
- 2:49Speaker 3: Sam Green?
- 2:50Speaker 5: Yeah? Wow? What is dynamic name? Sam Green? Oh? No,
- 2:57Speaker 5: he guy in the crowd. He just kept calling me
- 2:59Speaker 5: Angreel Reeves sleek stopping the game.
- 3:02Speaker 3: It's like, why are we stopping to get Raymond?
- 3:03Speaker 5: Again?
- 3:04Speaker 2: Not really, That's how it was, like, why are we
- 3:05Speaker 2: stopping the game? And you just look over and you
- 3:07Speaker 2: just see him getting into him.
- 3:08Speaker 5: With the fans.
- 3:09Speaker 3: That would definitely have been my first choice.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Exactly what did you say? It didn't It didn't matter
- 3:15Speaker 5: that we didn't win. That wasn't the point. Well, it
- 3:17Speaker 5: was about the plus eleven.
- 3:19Speaker 2: It was about the plus eleven because it's the Warriors.
- 3:21Speaker 2: And you know, I'm realistic. I'm not just a Sunshine pumper.
- 3:25Speaker 2: That's not what I'm not. Yeah, I'm not.
- 3:28Speaker 5: I'm not journalistic integrity.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Yeah no, I'm not here to to boot lick for
- 3:31Speaker 2: the franchise and I'm not here to you know, oh
- 3:34Speaker 2: it's it's all bad. But no, the sun's the sun
- 3:36Speaker 2: still shining. Guys, know that's not me. I'm gonna let
- 3:38Speaker 2: you know what it is. So I knew going into
- 3:40Speaker 2: the game where Steph Curry and the Warriors man Jimmy Butler,
- 3:44Speaker 2: like they have a good team. We are the ragtag
- 3:46Speaker 2: group of nobody's so.
- 3:48Speaker 5: But you're a fan though, so like you just condemning
- 3:51Speaker 5: yourself to miserableness. I mean, you know you got you
- 3:54Speaker 5: gotta know what I mean. Look, you got people that
- 3:58Speaker 5: are lifelong Browns fans. You got people like Jets fans,
- 4:00Speaker 5: like it's just Wizards. Yeah, you know, but still you
- 4:03Speaker 5: should have some hope Washington Wizards going hope, we'll hope
- 4:07Speaker 5: will get you killed, but hope also keeps us going on.
- 4:10Speaker 2: So that's kind of why I even went to the game,
- 4:12Speaker 2: was the hope that maybe you know, Willie Willy, Yeah,
- 4:15Speaker 2: plus eleven and Willie Green's going, so you know, it
- 4:17Speaker 2: might have some juice. They fought, but it's the Warriors
- 4:20Speaker 2: and you don't have your best players.
- 4:21Speaker 3: So he Matt all Right asked the question, did they
- 4:25Speaker 3: cover the plus eleven they lost by eighteen?
- 4:30Speaker 5: Yeah, people always talk about how good Vegas is. Maybe
- 4:33Speaker 5: Vegas they kind of know, they kind of ask sometimes.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Many I didn't got spanked. They spaked with that plus eleven.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that's no way.
- 4:40Speaker 5: I'm just saying, well, how did they get the number
- 4:42Speaker 5: right all the time? Wow, I don't know. They were
- 4:45Speaker 5: seven points off that game? Seven points a lot in basketball, Like,
- 4:50Speaker 5: that's a lot of point close Vegas. So that all right?
- 4:57Speaker 5: How are you doing there, Bud? Doing fantastic amazing? I
- 5:01Speaker 5: had a little extra texture in my throat this morning?
- 5:07Speaker 2: That what.

- 5:49Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I am the just get on the
- 5:53Speaker 3: internet and watch the world target audience absolutely like you
- 5:57Speaker 3: get on Twitter. Last night, all I did was type
- 6:01Speaker 3: in Lane Kiffin.
- 6:02Speaker 5: Guys.
- 6:02Speaker 3: I could have sat there for two hours and just
- 6:04Speaker 3: laughed at things. There's a Florida fan like we're gonna
- 6:07Speaker 3: name Gainesville after Lane Kiffin. There's another guy saying he
- 6:11Speaker 3: hates him pretty much the same thing with the l
- 6:13Speaker 3: Shue side of things. There's Old Miss fans saying we
- 6:16Speaker 3: want him gone. Why would you not want to be
- 6:18Speaker 3: here at Old Miss? It was really an enjoyablelief.
- 6:22Speaker 6: Somebody Old Miss fans just trying to trash bad rouge
- 6:24Speaker 6: in the city and everything about us.
- 6:27Speaker 5: I did see we did happy.
- 6:29Speaker 3: Things here, but like you're also in Oxford, Mississippi. What
- 6:32Speaker 3: are we doing here?
- 6:32Speaker 5: Guys?
- 6:34Speaker 3: He was great. I enjoyed it like I could have.
- 6:35Speaker 3: I could have stayed around.
- 6:36Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, I want to.
- 6:39Speaker 6: I want to get your thoughts because the room here,
- 6:41Speaker 6: like we've all been through Flight Tracker season, and we've
- 6:45Speaker 6: we've been in this game long enough where we've seen
- 6:47Speaker 6: the highs and lows, the crazy, the thing that there's
- 6:50Speaker 6: no way it's gonna happen happen because you know, we've
- 6:53Speaker 6: been in this business for a while. You just to
- 6:55Speaker 6: someone who's new to flight Tracker season and all the
- 6:59Speaker 6: things going on.
- 7:00Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on it? Well, before we get
- 7:02Speaker 5: to talking about how incredibly pathetic flight track it is,
- 7:06Speaker 5: I want to ask, like you said, you could sit
- 7:09Speaker 5: there for two hours. You said, all these people, the
- 7:10Speaker 5: internet's burning over all this different stuff. Is Lane Kiffen
- 7:14Speaker 5: worth it? Worth all this?
- 7:15Speaker 1: No?
- 7:16Speaker 5: He's not. No, he's not. I just don't know. I don't,
- 7:19Speaker 5: I don't. I don't get it. Yeah, he's a great coach.
- 7:21Speaker 6: Are you saying like nobody's worth is what you're saying?
- 7:24Speaker 6: I mean, because it's all the craziness.
- 7:26Speaker 5: I'm just trying to No, I saw what I said.
- 7:28Speaker 5: I said, Is Lane Kiffin worth it? Yeah? Expained on that? Okay,
- 7:33Speaker 5: I'm just asking to like, is he that great of
- 7:36Speaker 5: a proven head coach commodity that he's worth a three
- 7:42Speaker 5: man race to get him? These people saying we're gonna
- 7:45Speaker 5: name Gainesville after him, all that stuff. I saw him
- 7:48Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago go forward on his own
- 7:50Speaker 5: twenty five and take his quarterback out in the goal
- 7:52Speaker 5: line twice twice. And they didn't get it. They don't
- 7:57Speaker 5: know they did win that game though they did win it.
- 7:59Speaker 5: Yeah they were. Who was like, who's that against Ola trash?
- 8:06Speaker 5: Pretty good? Yeah, we's so wonderful.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I think it's just a combination of a lot of
- 8:13Speaker 2: things people. I think it's LSU fans just wanting a coach.
- 8:16Speaker 2: And I think it's the effect that LSU fans want
- 8:19Speaker 2: to look at Old Miss and be like, yeah, we
- 8:21Speaker 2: just took your coach, Like y'all, y'all are really are
- 8:23Speaker 2: little brothers, Like who cares y'all beat us? We just
- 8:25Speaker 2: snatched a coach. That's I feel like there's a whole
- 8:27Speaker 2: bunch of combinations of a bunch of things. Old Miss
- 8:30Speaker 2: fans want to be like, oh no, we're not just
- 8:32Speaker 2: a stepping stone, like we can keep our coach, Like
- 8:34Speaker 2: y'all can't just come in here and snag our coach.
- 8:36Speaker 5: And there's any else fans out there that want to
- 8:38Speaker 5: beat their chest because we stole Miss, Oh for sure.
- 8:41Speaker 3: There's a lot of like, yes, any victory you can
- 8:45Speaker 3: get in life people out there on p.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Yes, I'm just wondering, is that a victory to them
- 8:50Speaker 2: for social media? Yes, just so they can all year
- 8:53Speaker 2: alone because you've lost.
- 8:54Speaker 5: Victory for us, Like watching things burn, I get it.
- 8:56Speaker 5: I'm just saying, is it worth burning for? That's what
- 8:59Speaker 5: I'm saying.
- 9:00Speaker 6: And I would say I definitely think there's going to
- 9:03Speaker 6: be some Old Miss fans that if he stays at
- 9:05Speaker 6: Old Miss want to be like see L s U
- 9:08Speaker 6: Big Bat l s U. No longer the situation where
- 9:12Speaker 6: you can come in and just take our coach like
- 9:15Speaker 6: he decided to stay here.
- 9:16Speaker 5: Times are different. Blayane Kiffn is a great offensive coach,
- 9:19Speaker 5: great play caller, probably the best play caller in college
- 9:22Speaker 5: football or one of And he's proven to be a
- 9:25Speaker 5: really good coach. They've turned that program around, They've done
- 9:28Speaker 5: a lot of good things. But I mean the fact
- 9:30Speaker 5: still stands that he's been very questionable in game situations,
- 9:34Speaker 5: big game situations. He always loses a couple of games
- 9:37Speaker 5: a year or one. Hadn't done it this year. This
- 9:38Speaker 5: is a little bit different. Maybe he's turned the corner.
- 9:41Speaker 5: I don't know, but like, yeah, he'd be at the
- 9:46Speaker 5: top of the list, But I don't know if he's
- 9:47Speaker 5: worth you know this, I don't know if he's worth
- 9:49Speaker 5: Banner's burning for it or Gainsville saying they're gonna name it, yeah,
- 9:54Speaker 5: Gainsville after him. So I would be I'd be happy
- 9:59Speaker 5: if he was a coach, but I wouldn't be happy
- 10:00Speaker 5: if we have to pay them like twelve million dollars
- 10:02Speaker 5: for ten years to be table.
- 10:03Speaker 6: Well, I mean if you do go back to where
- 10:04Speaker 6: we met, what we were talking about, like, there's this
- 10:08Speaker 6: job this time having to convince somebody to come here, yeah,
- 10:13Speaker 6: compared to offer that coach gets the offer and they
- 10:20Speaker 6: sprint out of their office and don't even clean it out.
- 10:22Speaker 5: Yeah, because they're like, let's get started.
- 10:24Speaker 6: Yep in Baton Rouge, like there is there's a portion
- 10:27Speaker 6: of that that that's what we talked about.
- 10:29Speaker 5: This next hire. Yeah, you want them to pick up
- 10:33Speaker 5: the phone. No, but I mean we can be some opportunity.
- 10:37Speaker 5: You want that to be somebody that you reach out to. Yeah, yeah,
- 10:41Speaker 5: you kind of lost that opportunity a little bit with
- 10:43Speaker 5: the extracurricular activities that the powers that be here in
- 10:48Speaker 5: the state.
- 10:48Speaker 6: Were got a little messy. That's all right, a couple
- 10:53Speaker 6: a couple of different branches on that tree ball.
- 10:55Speaker 5: But you're right. It is fun to watch things burn.
- 10:57Speaker 5: I love it. I love like I love is it
- 10:59Speaker 5: black Monday after the NFL season. I just love the drama.
- 11:02Speaker 5: I love it.
- 11:04Speaker 2: He was getting fired.
- 11:04Speaker 5: I love drama. I do. It's fun. That's what sports is,
- 11:07Speaker 5: reality television, and it's fantastic.
- 11:10Speaker 2: You know who you sound like? Sound like Jerry Jones
- 11:12Speaker 2: right now?
- 11:13Speaker 5: Stop it.
- 11:14Speaker 2: He sounds just like Jerry Jones. Man. It's all about
- 11:18Speaker 2: drawing like boys, Yeah, cowboys fan. You sound just like
- 11:22Speaker 2: Jerry Jones.
- 11:22Speaker 5: Right now.
- 11:24Speaker 2: We gotta sound like we It's all about entertainment by
- 11:27Speaker 2: you know how Taylor. Come on, if anybody knows it
- 11:29Speaker 2: sound like Jerry Jones, No, you're don't.
- 11:31Speaker 3: I don't want to punch Matt in the face so
- 11:33Speaker 3: he doesn't remind Jerry Jones at.
- 11:34Speaker 2: You're right, you're right, you're right, right, you're right.
- 11:36Speaker 5: I would have signed Michael Parkins Parsons.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Hey man, George Pickings man, it's Pickings.
- 11:42Speaker 5: Bad man, bad man.
- 11:45Speaker 6: All right, we're not to spend any time talking about
- 11:47Speaker 6: the cowboys that we are not doing that, all right.
- 11:51Speaker 6: So one of the important things that did come out
- 11:54Speaker 6: of yesterday, The first place I saw was the athletic
- 11:56Speaker 6: so somebody else had a first apologize. But old miss
- 11:59Speaker 6: has to only iff and then he needs to decide.
- 12:02Speaker 6: By the November, the twenty eighth Egg Bowl, whether he
- 12:05Speaker 6: is staying at Old Miss or taking either the Florida
- 12:08Speaker 6: or the LSU job.
- 12:10Speaker 5: So we are ten days away from that. So who
- 12:13Speaker 5: said that, you think the administration?
- 12:16Speaker 6: Yes, So if they have set a ten day window on, hey,
- 12:21Speaker 6: you gotta let us know are you going to be
- 12:22Speaker 6: our coach?
- 12:23Speaker 5: Are you going somewhere else?
- 12:26Speaker 6: If he decides he's going somewhere else and they are
- 12:29Speaker 6: in a playoff run, I mean, somebody else is going
- 12:33Speaker 6: to coach Ole Miss.
- 12:34Speaker 5: And we talked about it a couple of weeks ago.
- 12:38Speaker 6: There's times over the last couple of years that a
- 12:41Speaker 6: coach would probably have left his school if it wasn't
- 12:45Speaker 6: for either a conference championship that he wanted to coach
- 12:49Speaker 6: a major bowl game, who wanted to coach in certainly,
- 12:52Speaker 6: like you know, playoff comes into consideration here.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Like there's been coaches.
- 12:59Speaker 6: Over the last couple year that have you know, probably
- 13:01Speaker 6: stayed because they wanted to coach their team.
- 13:04Speaker 5: So like there's that as well for Lane Kiffen. So
- 13:07Speaker 5: here's the thing that gets me. I keep saying, I
- 13:10Speaker 5: see all this stuff happening, and I can't get in
- 13:12Speaker 5: Lane's brain. I get it. Right, But like, why would
- 13:18Speaker 5: why would Lane Kiffin want to come to LSU? Why
- 13:22Speaker 5: would Lane Kiffen want to go to Florida? I get it,
- 13:24Speaker 5: their great jobs, they're blue bloods, blah blah blah. But
- 13:27Speaker 5: you're gonna you're gonna entertain taking a job somewhere else
- 13:33Speaker 5: for the potential to have the chance to play for
- 13:37Speaker 5: a national championship. But in doing so, you are going
- 13:39Speaker 5: to leave the opportunity that is already in front of
- 13:42Speaker 5: you to play for a national championship. That doesn't make
- 13:46Speaker 5: sense to me, Like you've already built this thing to
- 13:49Speaker 5: have the opportunity to make a run, so you could
- 13:52Speaker 5: potentially go to another school. You're gonna give that up
- 13:54Speaker 5: to go to another school to potentially have a chance
- 13:56Speaker 5: to make another run. Like why when they're going to
- 14:00Speaker 5: give you everything you want. I don't understand the move.
- 14:03Speaker 5: I don't understand why he would do it. And let's
- 14:07Speaker 5: be honest, Like, we don't think that the the great
- 14:10Speaker 5: puppet master of Jimmy Sexon is not making all of
- 14:13Speaker 5: this happen in front of our eyes. You don't think
- 14:16Speaker 5: he's waving a magic wand over everybody's eyes. You don't
- 14:18Speaker 5: think that there's a potential that he could have said, hey, plane,
- 14:24Speaker 5: get the kids, get the X, put them on a plane,
- 14:27Speaker 5: send them a bat and rage, take him shopping for
- 14:30Speaker 5: a few hours, send them back. It's gonna help. You
- 14:34Speaker 5: don't think that's a chance. I don't know. You don't
- 14:37Speaker 5: think there's that puppet Master is a nobody better in
- 14:41Speaker 5: the world than Jimmy. We are all playing right into
- 14:44Speaker 5: Jimmy Sexton's hands right now.
- 14:47Speaker 6: So all right, let's do this because we're already fifteen
- 14:50Speaker 6: minutes in. It's probably gonna be a part of the
- 14:52Speaker 6: conversation here obviously in our number one. Let's step away.
- 14:55Speaker 6: We'll continue this conversation when we come back here. It

- 17:46Speaker 6: be one name, by the way, which we'll get to
- 17:48Speaker 6: in detail a little bit later on. James Franklin is
- 17:50Speaker 6: off the board. He has agreed to become the Virginia Tech.
- 17:56Speaker 5: Head coach.
- 17:57Speaker 6: Virginia Tech so thank you high because my, oh my, look,
- 18:02Speaker 6: I have nothing against James Franklin. He obviously can coach football,
- 18:07Speaker 6: but it just felt like that was going to be
- 18:09Speaker 6: the worst possible thing you could do if he was
- 18:11Speaker 6: the LSU football head coach for everybody involved. So Virginia Tech, congratulations.
- 18:17Speaker 6: Hopefully for your sake you can get back to the
- 18:20Speaker 6: early two thousands when you were winning ten eleven games
- 18:23Speaker 6: every single year and you were a part of the
- 18:25Speaker 6: conversation Lane Stadium is awesome. You got your guy, good luck.
- 18:29Speaker 6: Then it just feel right.
- 18:31Speaker 5: It does that. That marriage feels really good. It feels
- 18:34Speaker 5: really comfortable, feels warm and cozy. You know, James frankly
- 18:40Speaker 5: can bring some of those traditions over there to Virginia Tech.
- 18:42Speaker 5: They can have a maroon out and the team can
- 18:44Speaker 5: wear orange. That would be fun to watch that in
- 18:51Speaker 5: that Metallica understand. Oh that's good, that is good scene.
- 18:54Speaker 5: Oh it's incredible. What was there? They played it earlier
- 18:57Speaker 5: this season? Right, I had saw that one clip of it.
- 19:01Speaker 5: The team was like zho and four whatever and the
- 19:03Speaker 5: place was still electric.
- 19:06Speaker 3: You win, you win nine games if you're James Franklin junior.
- 19:09Speaker 3: I mean dude, you're you're good.
- 19:10Speaker 5: Yeah, you're good. That's is that your that's your bucket list, right,
- 19:14Speaker 5: one of your bucket lists.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to go to a night game at
- 19:17Speaker 3: Lane Stadium when they're good, Like if.
- 19:18Speaker 6: That place is it really doesn't matter if they're good
- 19:20Speaker 6: or bad to the atmosphere portion.
- 19:23Speaker 5: I understand what you're saying. Oh, that's what I think.
- 19:25Speaker 5: The swamp is going to be called Lane Stadium. Oh
- 19:27Speaker 5: they're gonna have two, Yeah, they have two now like that,
- 19:33Speaker 5: it's part of the contract.
- 19:35Speaker 6: All right, let's get to back to now, let's get
- 19:39Speaker 6: back to the Lane Kiffin situation.
- 19:41Speaker 5: I already got back to it.
- 19:42Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean I don't care about the Florida
- 19:44Speaker 6: if he goes to Florida, I don't really care about that.
- 19:46Speaker 5: That's the Gators coach. Uh you asked. You were asking
- 19:49Speaker 5: the question about, like, why why would he do this?
- 19:53Speaker 5: Why would he do that? Because of where he's currently at,
- 19:56Speaker 5: Jordan and Tate. I'll open it up to y'all.
- 19:59Speaker 6: First, Matt, that's the question, why would Lane Kiffin entertain
- 20:03Speaker 6: leaving Old miss To that point?
- 20:05Speaker 5: What would you say?
- 20:07Speaker 3: Two things? One, I think Lane Kiffin is capped at
- 20:10Speaker 3: Old Miss. I think that he's done about as much
- 20:13Speaker 3: as you.
- 20:13Speaker 5: Can cats in what way and wins and losses or
- 20:16Speaker 5: in the recesses in success in success.
- 20:19Speaker 3: Also, you don't know what they're going to do this
- 20:21Speaker 3: year though, do you think do you think they're gonna
- 20:23Speaker 3: win it all?
- 20:24Speaker 5: They've lost one game to a top five team.
- 20:26Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think they're gonna win it all.
- 20:28Speaker 5: There's no like true Juggernaut this year. We don't know.
- 20:31Speaker 5: I mean we think Old Miss probably, but we don't
- 20:33Speaker 5: really know. Also, more money, you don't know Juggernaut in
- 20:36Speaker 5: the country. I mean Ohio State, I got it. But
- 20:39Speaker 5: like we were talking about yesterday, they still haven't like
- 20:42Speaker 5: shown us anything against you know, they played Texas. Who
- 20:45Speaker 5: else they played?
- 20:47Speaker 6: No, I mean the eye test says yes, I understand
- 20:51Speaker 6: your question, and that wasn't it was very rhetorical.
- 20:54Speaker 5: I mean, I do think that like in this day
- 20:56Speaker 5: and age people in the chat are talking, I get
- 21:00Speaker 5: like everything everybody's saying is correct. There's probably a cap
- 21:03Speaker 5: because you know, the best defensive players in the world.
- 21:07Speaker 5: Like the recruiting, they're always going to go to your
- 21:09Speaker 5: Florida's and your Georgia's and your host states, and I
- 21:12Speaker 5: get that we're just in a little bit different world.
- 21:14Speaker 5: I believe that there's going to be a non blue
- 21:15Speaker 5: blood national championship winning in the next couple of years.
- 21:18Speaker 5: Like I don't know who it's gonna be. I like
- 21:20Speaker 5: the Texas texts coming, Oh Missus coming, like all these teams. Like,
- 21:23Speaker 5: this is a different world we live in. And yeah,
- 21:27Speaker 5: you might not get you might not get the five
- 21:29Speaker 5: star guys out of high school, but you're sure as
- 21:31Speaker 5: hell going to get them to transfer them in the portal.
- 21:33Speaker 5: I mean, it's just a different world. You got to
- 21:35Speaker 5: take all that into consideration. I do believe a non
- 21:37Speaker 5: blue blood is going to win the national championship in
- 21:40Speaker 5: the next couple of years. I don't know. I don't
- 21:42Speaker 5: know if it's this year, I don't know if it's
- 21:43Speaker 5: in two years.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Well, my my take will have to be that I
- 21:48Speaker 2: truly believe that Lane Kiffin sees himself as a main character,
- 21:51Speaker 2: Like he sees himself as one of those guys that's
- 21:54Speaker 2: going to be remembered in history. So I can that's
- 21:56Speaker 2: why I can feel like he wants to leave Old
- 21:58Speaker 2: miss in a sense because oh I'm laying Kiffing, I
- 22:01Speaker 2: can be the head coach of LSU and bring him
- 22:02Speaker 2: the glory. I can be the head coach of Florida
- 22:04Speaker 2: and being in the history books as one of the greats.
- 22:06Speaker 2: Because he always said that he looked up to Steve Spurrier.
- 22:09Speaker 2: So I feel like he wants to be one of
- 22:10Speaker 2: those guys that's on that pedal stoolhen it's all set
- 22:13Speaker 2: and done.
- 22:14Speaker 5: But to counter argument to that is you're not making
- 22:16Speaker 5: history by doing that. Three other coaches have done that.
- 22:19Speaker 2: You can last twenty years, but if you win at
- 22:21Speaker 2: certain spots, you can remember. I don't think I think,
- 22:24Speaker 2: like how Taylor said, deep down he knows he's not
- 22:26Speaker 2: gonna get it done at Ole Miss. So that's why
- 22:28Speaker 2: he's even entertaining this.
- 22:30Speaker 5: If he thinks he's the main character, he thinks he
- 22:32Speaker 5: can get it done.
- 22:33Speaker 3: I just take the fandom out of it. When you
- 22:37Speaker 3: look at LSU, everybody always says, oh, well, you know,
- 22:39Speaker 3: there's there's really no competition in the state. And you
- 22:42Speaker 3: can say, oh well, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, sure,
- 22:45Speaker 3: but you're also landlocked between elite programs. You got LSU
- 22:48Speaker 3: on one side of you, you got Alabama and Auburn
- 22:50Speaker 3: on the other side of you. It's like it or not,
- 22:52Speaker 3: you're a traditional SEC doormat. You're not any more, but
- 22:56Speaker 3: you still have catched it up to do. Like when
- 22:57Speaker 3: you're at LSU, you have everything you need right there
- 22:59Speaker 3: next to you.
- 23:00Speaker 5: Yeah, I would. I would push back and say ls
- 23:03Speaker 5: hu's a top three job in America. I agree with that.
- 23:06Speaker 6: I think when you look at you know, playing a
- 23:10Speaker 6: home game in both venues, I think that's completely different.
- 23:14Speaker 6: I think the buy in from everyone in the state
- 23:16Speaker 6: is completely different because you still share that state with
- 23:20Speaker 6: Mississippi State. I think you're having to squeeze every ounce
- 23:24Speaker 6: of everything you possibly can to get to where you're
- 23:26Speaker 6: at right now. And he's thinking, probably, wait, what if
- 23:30Speaker 6: I just did that at LSU, what would we look like?
- 23:32Speaker 5: Then?
- 23:33Speaker 6: Would we potentially be where Ohio State is, where consistently
- 23:36Speaker 6: every single year you're in the top five.
- 23:39Speaker 5: And you're playing for championships. Man, I get that, and
- 23:42Speaker 5: I agree. I think I think's the top job. I
- 23:44Speaker 5: think it's the you know, a bare minimum of top
- 23:47Speaker 5: three job. Okay, I get it, But I'm asking a question,
- 23:50Speaker 5: why would he leave? Like from a competitor standpoint, he
- 23:54Speaker 5: is in the middle of a season where they have
- 23:56Speaker 5: a chance to win a national championship, and that man's
- 23:59Speaker 5: going to just leave them. Why would we want that?
- 24:02Speaker 5: Would we want to coach and just leave the team
- 24:04Speaker 5: on a national championship run? Get out of here.
- 24:09Speaker 2: It's like a mic drop right there.
- 24:11Speaker 5: You're just gonna leave those those kids that you've been coaching.
- 24:14Speaker 5: I'm with you. Ole miss is the.
- 24:17Speaker 3: One that's apparently giving him this ultimatum of you got
- 24:20Speaker 3: to decide by next week.
- 24:21Speaker 6: Like I just said that, that has kept coaches in
- 24:24Speaker 6: place and throughout the show, And I'll go back and
- 24:27Speaker 6: I'll give you three examples of guys that would have
- 24:30Speaker 6: probably left to take a bigger job, but they stayed
- 24:35Speaker 6: because they wanted to coach a conference championship, a big
- 24:39Speaker 6: bowl game, a playoff like whatever. It is. Like, there's
- 24:42Speaker 6: plenty of examples of doing that. I think John Summer
- 24:45Speaker 6: I would have left Tulane probably a year ago. I
- 24:48Speaker 6: think you would have and they were playing for a
- 24:50Speaker 6: conference championship and he's like, wait a minute, no, no, no,
- 24:53Speaker 6: hold up coaching this team, Like we got to this point,
- 24:55Speaker 6: I'm not leaving.
- 24:56Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I get it, but that's it's bill
- 25:00Speaker 5: a different ballgame to me, Like you're losing, You're you're
- 25:03Speaker 5: giving up one conference championship to go do something bigger
- 25:07Speaker 5: in college football, Like you're fighting for the exact at
- 25:09Speaker 5: Old Miss. You're fighting for the exact same thing, and
- 25:11Speaker 5: you have a chance to get the exact same thing
- 25:14Speaker 5: that your goal would be at LSU.
- 25:15Speaker 6: This is the first time, though, that they would ever
- 25:17Speaker 6: get to a point like this, and so like you
- 25:20Speaker 6: have to ask yourself how many times could we get
- 25:23Speaker 6: back to this point? And I don't think he would
- 25:27Speaker 6: be trying to leave his team. I think he would,
- 25:29Speaker 6: given the option, he would coach his team. But now
- 25:33Speaker 6: Old Miss is putting the deadline on it. I think
- 25:35Speaker 6: it's more Old Miss is telling him more than he's like,
- 25:37Speaker 6: I'm not coaching you. They're saying, no, if you leave,
- 25:41Speaker 6: you're not coaching.
- 25:42Speaker 5: Yeah. If what would somebody if you were in that
- 25:44Speaker 5: situation and said you either sign this or you're not
- 25:47Speaker 5: coaching this team, I'd be like, all right, tell me
- 25:49Speaker 5: where to sign. H.
- 25:52Speaker 2: I get your point though, because it's like starting a
- 25:55Speaker 2: relationship with a girl that was cheating on her previous boyfriend,
- 25:58Speaker 2: right and and not expecting her to cheat when y'all agether.
- 26:00Speaker 2: So I get what you're saying. So why would you
- 26:01Speaker 2: want that to be your head coach? And he's leaving
- 26:03Speaker 2: his team when they need him the most in the
- 26:06Speaker 2: season where they don't have one loss. So I mean,
- 26:08Speaker 2: I see both sides of the coin.
- 26:09Speaker 5: Though. Ye maybe he's not signing because he's gonna take
- 26:12Speaker 5: the New York Giants job.
- 26:14Speaker 2: That would be the biggest plot twist of all the time.
- 26:17Speaker 2: A lot of you know, coach Jackson Dart again like
- 26:19Speaker 2: that that that's Peter Lane everybody in the NFL instead
- 26:23Speaker 2: of the yeah he was year he was a Raiders
- 26:26Speaker 2: head coach. He was the head coach when they drafted
- 26:28Speaker 2: JaMarcus Yeah.
- 26:30Speaker 5: And instead of like making an announcement, it's just camp scatterbooy,
- 26:33Speaker 5: just going into the camera. You think I was going
- 26:37Speaker 5: to lsu Miami job could open up.
- 26:41Speaker 3: You always said he loved his time and in Florida
- 26:43Speaker 3: Atlanta head covering Boca a ton.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Wellncoh.
- 26:48Speaker 6: I was about to say he does. Look he loves
- 26:50Speaker 6: all shore fish. It's another plus realist.
- 26:54Speaker 5: About to say, we kind of can't. You can't do
- 26:56Speaker 5: much and it's different it's a different all shore fish,
- 26:59Speaker 5: but so same same water. There's fishing water. It's in
- 27:07Speaker 5: the Gulf of America. Yep. Anyway, good fun, good friendly banter.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Here, No, no, I get the juices flowing.
- 27:16Speaker 5: Man. I think I think we've all come to the
- 27:18Speaker 5: conclusion that I'm.
- 27:18Speaker 6: Right time will tell I'm gonna disagree with y'all saying
- 27:23Speaker 6: Less would have gone to Michigan if it wasn't for
- 27:25Speaker 6: Herbstreet announcing that.
- 27:28Speaker 5: I'm going to disagree with that.
- 27:31Speaker 6: From multiple people I've talked to over the last like
- 27:34Speaker 6: twenty years of hearing how all that played out. I'll
- 27:37Speaker 6: just say I disagree if Herbie wouldn't have broken that
- 27:40Speaker 6: that he would have left.
- 27:42Speaker 5: We'll put it there. I don't a lot of questions
- 27:45Speaker 5: in the chat, like y'all, y'all forgetting something major Ole
- 27:48Speaker 5: miss is a stepping stone job, LSU isn't Who would
- 27:51Speaker 5: he leave us high and drive for? I mean, that's
- 27:54Speaker 5: just I mean, you're just assuming you're the prettiest girl
- 27:56Speaker 5: with the dance. I guess we think so, But I mean,
- 28:01Speaker 5: what if I don't know, what if Ryan Day left
- 28:04Speaker 5: Ohio State. I know there's a lot of hypotheticals, and
- 28:09Speaker 5: Marcus Freeman would be their name. I'm just saying, like,
- 28:11Speaker 5: I get it. They traditionally o miss as a stepping stone.
- 28:13Speaker 5: I got it, saying are they are they?
- 28:19Speaker 2: When this day?
- 28:20Speaker 5: A question different can be asked if they're willing to
- 28:24Speaker 5: pay and give you all the resources.
- 28:28Speaker 2: But what would be crazy would be wild?
- 28:30Speaker 5: Though?
- 28:31Speaker 2: What is plan B if you don't get Lane Kiffin?
- 28:34Speaker 2: What's playing B now?
- 28:35Speaker 5: Assuming that it's playing A.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Yeah, it just feels like it's all the hullabluo going on.
- 28:40Speaker 3: But like.
- 28:42Speaker 2: I mean, you got my guy in the bushes recording.
- 28:45Speaker 5: Like the trees.
- 28:47Speaker 6: How many people had to just sit there at the
- 28:50Speaker 6: airport the hangar last night for a good.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Hanging upside down from the tree branches literally looking.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Got a sniper on the roof.
- 28:58Speaker 5: So they got to watch yesterday that one of the
- 29:01Speaker 5: flight tracker websites crashed. Too many people tracking flights. That's
- 29:07Speaker 5: that's a that's a choice they actually need to track
- 29:11Speaker 5: flights to people caring about That is also a choice
- 29:14Speaker 5: that people have made.
- 29:16Speaker 2: There's a lot of free time out there, a lot
- 29:18Speaker 2: of free time.
- 29:19Speaker 5: It's wild. What a wild world those people fly around.
- 29:26Speaker 5: I heard say it was on a flight yesterday. Saving Yeah, definitely.
- 29:30Speaker 5: I don't know where it's going, just a connection. It's
- 29:34Speaker 5: going somewhere, going somewhere. Mmmm.
- 29:42Speaker 6: Either way, if they go all in for any candidate,
- 29:46Speaker 6: there's a list like there's like all these coaching searches
- 29:49Speaker 6: like Virginia Tech, they're all in. Was James Franklin and
- 29:52Speaker 6: if it didn't work out, they would have been A two,
- 29:54Speaker 6: A three, a four. What was always the word when
- 29:58Speaker 6: when we hired Less it was Buyer Petrino. He was
- 30:01Speaker 6: the guy, like they were going hard after Buyer Patrino
- 30:04Speaker 6: and that was going to be the guy. Thank god
- 30:06Speaker 6: that did not work out. Less wasn't the first guy.
- 30:10Speaker 6: I didn't I don't remember that you were on the
- 30:13Speaker 6: team and everything. I didn't keep me up to date
- 30:16Speaker 6: on He didn't have you didn't have the social media obviously,
- 30:21Speaker 6: But No by Viatrino was like I even thought like
- 30:24Speaker 6: he was going to be the guy because like for me,
- 30:26Speaker 6: it was important because he doesn't really at that time,
- 30:28Speaker 6: he didn't run a fullback and I'm like, hmm, I
- 30:31Speaker 6: might need a coach who runs one of those if
- 30:34Speaker 6: I'm going to play here in this sophomore season, So.
- 30:39Speaker 5: You gotta have a list. You got to have. Hey,
- 30:40Speaker 5: this is our guy.
- 30:41Speaker 6: We're going to full court press, and if it doesn't
- 30:42Speaker 6: work out, we've got to feel good about two, three
- 30:45Speaker 6: or four on this list.
- 30:46Speaker 5: So everybody's got that. I will just say that Lane
- 30:50Speaker 5: Kiffin has been since all this dumb flight tracking stuff
- 30:52Speaker 5: and taking pictures of private jets and speculating over who's
- 30:56Speaker 5: in it who's not in it, and taking like Bigfoot
- 30:58Speaker 5: type videos of it a mile away. I ain't even
- 31:03Speaker 5: has tweeted it some pretty aggressive pro ole miss tweets
- 31:07Speaker 5: since then, with lots of blue and red hearts emojis.
- 31:11Speaker 5: Just want you to realize that, or or I can
- 31:15Speaker 5: maybe it's Jimmy Sexton tweeting. I mean the giants now
- 31:19Speaker 5: we are all We're just we're just ponds in the
- 31:21Speaker 5: Jimmy Sexton world right now. People just want you to
- 31:23Speaker 5: know that.
- 31:25Speaker 6: All right, we're looking for a break. Let's go ahead
- 31:26Speaker 6: and play catch up right now. Sure it's gonna be
- 31:30Speaker 6: off the bench a lot of our conversation the day there.

- 33:00Speaker 5: That's all I.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Gotta say j c Lin the money in a way
- 33:04Speaker 1: and I'm sitting against the rab blaze of a rap flat.
- 33:09Speaker 5: And might die. I've got it all right, Welcome back
- 33:12Speaker 5: in O TV from the eighties. Wait a month. I'm
- 33:19Speaker 5: just not here, so we're figing it up, just kidding.
- 33:21Speaker 6: Anytime, anytime Jordan comes in, we go pretty much all
- 33:24Speaker 6: Louisiana rat always.
- 33:27Speaker 1: And it is.
- 33:28Speaker 5: It's a great job. You and Moose both back to
- 33:30Speaker 5: back days. All done.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Yeah, Loose had done in this bag.
- 33:34Speaker 5: Well I didn't either, but he did. I knew Jordan did.
- 33:37Speaker 5: I did not know Moose did.
- 33:39Speaker 6: Uh, we'll get the show started a little bit later
- 33:40Speaker 6: on Uh, probably the top of the second hour.
- 33:43Speaker 5: We're gonna do that.
- 33:47Speaker 6: We got to continue the same conversation, though, I will
- 33:50Speaker 6: say this, I think in these coaching searches and when
- 33:53Speaker 6: we're asking the questions of why, and look, Matt and
- 33:57Speaker 6: I were were raised, we were formed and asking why.
- 34:01Speaker 6: It was Jimbo Fisher's biggest thing.
- 34:02Speaker 5: You gotta tell me why, Tell me why, JaMarcus. If
- 34:06Speaker 5: you're not asking the question why and everything in life,
- 34:08Speaker 5: you just that's very fair.
- 34:10Speaker 6: I tell Jimbo all the time and like, that's a
- 34:11Speaker 6: life lesson that I took because like, the thing I
- 34:15Speaker 6: hate is when somebody gets up here, it's like I
- 34:17Speaker 6: can't run the ball, I can't protect.
- 34:19Speaker 5: Okay, well, why can't they run the ball? Why can't
- 34:21Speaker 5: they protect? Show me? Why? Tell me why?
- 34:24Speaker 6: So you got to find the why to some of
- 34:26Speaker 6: the questions you're asking. I think we also have to
- 34:30Speaker 6: ask ourselves and remind well, just remind ourselves and look,
- 34:33Speaker 6: we have them as players. We have egos as players,
- 34:36Speaker 6: as professional football players, we have egos.
- 34:38Speaker 5: You have to have a little bit of one. I
- 34:40Speaker 5: think take it. Coaches have massive egos, massive egos.
- 34:45Speaker 6: And that's okay, Like, yeah, I think that that makes
- 34:48Speaker 6: the most successful ones like who they are.
- 34:50Speaker 5: I'm not even saying in a bad way.
- 34:52Speaker 6: So they want to make the most money, they want
- 34:56Speaker 6: to be on the biggest stage, they want to have
- 34:59Speaker 6: the prime time games, they want to coach in Tiger Stadium, all, Like,
- 35:04Speaker 6: all of that plays into it too when you're asking
- 35:06Speaker 6: the why of why would you leave where you're currently at?
- 35:09Speaker 6: Why would you want to go somewhere else when you
- 35:12Speaker 6: have an opportunity to, you know, meet your main goal
- 35:16Speaker 6: with where you're currently at within this season.
- 35:19Speaker 5: I think we have to remember that, like they want.
- 35:21Speaker 6: To be on all the things that we talk about
- 35:23Speaker 6: in college football and Death Valley and LSU, and so
- 35:28Speaker 6: there's that portion of it too.
- 35:30Speaker 5: Yeah, there is. I mean I get it. No, not
- 35:34Speaker 5: one thing that I said that I ever mean to
- 35:37Speaker 5: like be that LSU's not a top job, because it is.
- 35:41Speaker 5: I just think we're in a different world of college football.
- 35:46Speaker 5: We're a different climate of recruiting and player manager forgot,
- 35:49Speaker 5: I mean for crid Out and we got general managers
- 35:51Speaker 5: and salary caps. So it's a little bit different, different world.
- 35:56Speaker 5: And I get it. Yeah, you want to Tiger Stadium
- 36:00Speaker 5: in Death Alley, It's like there's a there's a nostalgia,
- 36:04Speaker 5: there's an aura behind that, there's a reverence behind that
- 36:08Speaker 5: throughout all college coaches and college programs maybe not all
- 36:12Speaker 5: maybe not all players, but certainly coaches and so to
- 36:16Speaker 5: have that on your side is amazing. It just my
- 36:20Speaker 5: question from why just comes in the literal situation that
- 36:24Speaker 5: we're sitting here on what November eighteenth, twenty twenty five,
- 36:28Speaker 5: Ole miss is in a situation where their whole state, politicians,
- 36:35Speaker 5: the university is telling Lane Kiffin we will give you
- 36:38Speaker 5: whatever you want. And oh yeah, you're also in a
- 36:42Speaker 5: playoff hunt and with a chance and opportunity. Now it's
- 36:46Speaker 5: maybe a big long odds against it, but you got
- 36:49Speaker 5: a chance to play for a national championship. Yeah. Like,
- 36:52Speaker 5: I'm just talking about the situation we're into right today.
- 36:56Speaker 5: That question is now, maybe the question is, yeah, of course,
- 36:59Speaker 5: yeah coorse, I'll I would take the job at LSU
- 37:01Speaker 5: and leave Ole Miss. Maybe that's the answer. I'm just
- 37:03Speaker 5: asking the question of why I think we can all
- 37:05Speaker 5: ask that, and then also why is there so much
- 37:08Speaker 5: hoopla about it? Does everybody out there actually think Lane
- 37:11Speaker 5: Kiffin is the best college football coach right now?
- 37:17Speaker 6: I think that you think he's the best college I
- 37:19Speaker 6: think the one that you would put ahead of him,
- 37:22Speaker 6: Ryan Day obviously he's either Ohio State or NFL.
- 37:26Speaker 5: Like not going anywhere.
- 37:30Speaker 6: Kirby Obviously, Kirby's playing coaching where he played. Ain't going
- 37:33Speaker 6: anywhere like Dan Lane. Dan Lanning's in that conversation for sure,
- 37:39Speaker 6: He's for sure in that conversation. So I think it's
- 37:41Speaker 6: a short list. But of the coaches on the short list,
- 37:45Speaker 6: I don't think any of them are going anywhere else,
- 37:49Speaker 6: like if you're if you're at Oregon, Like.
- 37:51Speaker 5: My question is how did Lane Kiffin get on the
- 37:53Speaker 5: top of that.
- 37:54Speaker 6: List from taking Ole Miss a team that would have
- 37:59Speaker 6: a year here and there, and they had some an
- 38:01Speaker 6: under huge freeze, They certainly had some years, but taking
- 38:04Speaker 6: Old Miss to consistently being a part of the conversation.
- 38:09Speaker 6: It hasn't always gone his way in his coaching career.
- 38:12Speaker 6: I mean Tennessee USC Oakland Raiders, for sure. I mean
- 38:16Speaker 6: is the reason he had to kind of go back
- 38:18Speaker 6: to being your coordinator in Tuscaloosa and rehabilitai and it worked.
- 38:24Speaker 5: It worked, right, It's okay, get over him going for
- 38:34Speaker 5: it on his own twenty five. Yeah, that really bothered you.
- 38:36Speaker 5: That hurts you. Bothered me to, It bothered me to
- 38:39Speaker 5: like he made three of the thought bad coaching moves.
- 38:44Speaker 5: I mean we've talked about it. I mean we've all
- 38:46Speaker 5: said it, like he's lost games every single year he's
- 38:48Speaker 5: coached that he shouldn't. Hell, we beat him last year
- 38:53Speaker 5: lost the Kentucky Uh, Darius, I mean you like, yeah, Dan,
- 39:00Speaker 5: and you can like you know, you would ask one
- 39:02Speaker 5: hundred people. Fifty might say Lane. Fifty might say Dan Lanning,
- 39:06Speaker 5: and that's not in absolutes. I think Dan Lane's a
- 39:09Speaker 5: hell of a football coach though either way. Hmm uh.
- 39:16Speaker 6: You know Elko, Elko's got some some stuff. He's still
- 39:20Speaker 6: got to go out there and prove for sure, but
- 39:22Speaker 6: so far, so good for him.
- 39:25Speaker 5: M mmmmmmm.
- 39:30Speaker 6: So you're gonna give us like who your top top
- 39:33Speaker 6: name is? Then top guy realistically?
- 39:36Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Kirby Smart, I said, realistic calls Shanahan like
- 39:43Speaker 5: the Rabel, Bam mcgump, anyone. But drink. You got to
- 39:50Speaker 5: explain that one. Why not drink? There's a lot of
- 39:53Speaker 5: like drink, a lot.
- 39:54Speaker 6: Of hate around drink. And I'm like, and I know,
- 39:58Speaker 6: trust man, and I know are you know a couple
- 40:01Speaker 6: of our guys. My guy brand is putting up the
- 40:03Speaker 6: record of you know, against ranked SEC teams and all that.
- 40:07Speaker 6: Like you have to remember he's also at Missouri and
- 40:10Speaker 6: he's close to winning thirty games in three years at Missouri.
- 40:14Speaker 5: So I think there's benefits of hiring Eli Drinkwitz.
- 40:17Speaker 6: I think the entire defensive staff would stay in place,
- 40:20Speaker 6: and I think the continuity there would be awesome because
- 40:23Speaker 6: that was his defense staff for the most part at Missouri.
- 40:26Speaker 6: I think you would obviously retain Corey Raymond because the
- 40:29Speaker 6: next coach, don't do that.
- 40:33Speaker 5: Don't do that again. So and Drink did the end unthinkable.
- 40:39Speaker 5: He is almost He's got me to where I'm almost
- 40:42Speaker 5: going to admit that they're in the SEC. Not yet.
- 40:46Speaker 5: Think about how hard that is for Matt to almost
- 40:49Speaker 5: admit that.
- 40:50Speaker 3: I want Drink what's to get the job so that
- 40:52Speaker 3: we could get him on. And you'd be like, so, coach,
- 40:54Speaker 3: what's it phil like to be in the SEC? Yeah,
- 40:56Speaker 3: welcome to the SEC. You nervous reason alone. Yeah, all right,
- 41:03Speaker 3: we gotta take a break.
- 41:04Speaker 6: We'll take that break more OTB when we come back
- 41:06Speaker 6: here live from the Raisin King studio.
- 41:10Speaker 5: Off the bench. All right, So we are very.
- 41:17Speaker 6: Excited because well we got a new sponsor. Oh yeah,
- 41:20Speaker 6: we do Bally's Baton Rouge. And if you don't know,
- 41:24Speaker 6: if you haven't seen the construction, man oh man, and
- 41:29Speaker 6: if you remember the old Bella Baton Rouge and you
- 41:32Speaker 6: remember the old atrium, right, well, we've all done an
- 41:34Speaker 6: event there. Well, Matt and I went and toward the
- 41:37Speaker 6: new valley, and the new valleys is in right, like
- 41:40Speaker 6: you won't even recognize.
- 41:42Speaker 5: It doesn't look like a distant cousin to what it
- 41:44Speaker 5: used to be.
- 41:45Speaker 6: We got a tour last week two weeks ago, and
- 41:49Speaker 6: the entire place is incredible. I mean it is a
- 41:52Speaker 6: true transformation. The dining depot is incredible. We're going to
- 41:57Speaker 6: love it. The Draftking Sports Book is incredible.
- 42:00Speaker 5: Every every truly like like unrecognized. It really is.
- 42:04Speaker 6: Like it's hard, like if you've been to the atrium
- 42:06Speaker 6: and then you go and see it now, like you're
- 42:07Speaker 6: gonna be blown away.
- 42:09Speaker 5: I'm not saying that lightly. Like it is state of
- 42:12Speaker 5: the art. Uh.
- 42:13Speaker 6: The new hotel rooms, every room that's from the brand
- 42:16Speaker 6: new every room. We got a chance to see all
- 42:19Speaker 6: the new rooms, y'all. I'm just telling you you will
- 42:22Speaker 6: not recognize a place. It is going to be the
- 42:24Speaker 6: spot to be. The new Draftings Sportsbook incredible. We are
- 42:27Speaker 6: so happy to be partnered with Valleys of Baton Rouge.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Make blocked in on l s U Football twenty four
- 42:43Speaker 1: to seven. You're listening to off the bench.
- 42:52Speaker 6: All right, real quick, I do have a question to
- 42:54Speaker 6: the crowd here. We're playing Louisiana rap today, Louisiana music.
- 42:58Speaker 6: That's what Jordan does. We always appreciate it. Does fifty
- 43:03Speaker 6: cent get brother in law into this. Now that he's
- 43:05Speaker 6: basically the president of Trethport, he counts it now, I
- 43:08Speaker 6: think he does. I mean he's taken over the entire city,
- 43:11Speaker 6: brought up a lot of building. I'm just saying, Likesana.
- 43:14Speaker 6: He's got a place there Louisiana adjacent.
- 43:16Speaker 5: Maybe sure you're you're.
- 43:18Speaker 2: The captain of the three one eight, So if you
- 43:20Speaker 2: whatever you say it.
- 43:20Speaker 5: Goes ever, think about that. I'll think about it.
- 43:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just a part time three one, but you
- 43:25Speaker 2: know you hey shout out the.
- 43:27Speaker 5: Video though, that was definitely because it did it definitely needed.
- 43:31Speaker 6: That, all right, continuing on down the road and so
- 43:37Speaker 6: so much, so much hate for my guy Eli inside
- 43:41Speaker 6: the by U four chat.
- 43:42Speaker 5: I do love that.
- 43:42Speaker 6: Like some people don't even like have any stats or
- 43:45Speaker 6: facts and they don't want any statuffactors like, yeah, Eli's
- 43:48Speaker 6: a nerd.
- 43:48Speaker 5: We're not hiring that guy.
- 43:50Speaker 2: Yeah nerd, And that can't spend his last name. That's
- 43:53Speaker 2: all it is.
- 43:54Speaker 5: That's all. It's just like you were gonna leave it
- 43:55Speaker 5: at that. So it's just he didn't pass eye test.
- 43:59Speaker 5: Yeah again.
- 44:01Speaker 6: And at some point today tomorrow we'll go back and
- 44:04Speaker 6: we'll take we'll take a look at what this LSU
- 44:06Speaker 6: defense has been able to do in some of the
- 44:09Speaker 6: bigger moments this year, and again without wit Weeks for
- 44:12Speaker 6: a large portion of the season in the.
- 44:14Speaker 5: Middle of the defense.
- 44:15Speaker 6: I do think having continuity and keeping that side of
- 44:18Speaker 6: the football and obviously having Corey Raymond, you know, not
- 44:23Speaker 6: ever leave issue again and a guy like Kyle Williams
- 44:27Speaker 6: who just came in and again he's just the defensive tackles,
- 44:31Speaker 6: not on the edges, and you just look at the
- 44:32Speaker 6: growth and that's a group that there wasn't a lot there.
- 44:36Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest with you, Well, there wasn't a
- 44:38Speaker 5: ton there.
- 44:40Speaker 6: And he's made those players much much better, and guys
- 44:43Speaker 6: that have been in college for like four or five years,
- 44:45Speaker 6: and so he's improved guys that have already been here,
- 44:48Speaker 6: and you can kind of see the growth. And he's
- 44:50Speaker 6: got some real dogs coming at that position in this
- 44:53Speaker 6: recruiting class and so that like that's a portion of
- 44:55Speaker 6: it as well.
- 44:58Speaker 5: Yeah, And this has been a good little conversation, good
- 45:02Speaker 5: little hour, good little talk about the lane train, lane talk,
- 45:05Speaker 5: the lane plane. Yeah, I'm over here just fist fighting
- 45:11Speaker 5: through the bushes out here trying to defend these takes. Actually,
- 45:15Speaker 5: I don't even think I had to take. All I
- 45:17Speaker 5: had is questions, question marks.
- 45:19Speaker 3: They were valid. I have some of the same questions.
- 45:21Speaker 3: They were valid.
- 45:22Speaker 5: We all should have questions about who our next head
- 45:24Speaker 5: coach is going to be. I think Lane is a
- 45:29Speaker 5: fantastic coach to your top choice, but he's not the
- 45:34Speaker 5: only one to your top choice. No ooh.
- 45:38Speaker 6: On the other side, when we come back to get
- 45:40Speaker 6: this thing truly started, Flen's gonna give you his top choice,
- 45:44Speaker 6: whether he likes it or not, because that's how you
- 45:46Speaker 6: do it in radio, Flynn. You throw up the t's
- 45:49Speaker 6: and when we come back an hour or two, you're
- 45:50Speaker 6: gonna give us your top choice of who should the
- 45:53Speaker 6: next LSU Tigers football coach be, right here on TV,
- 45:57Speaker 6: off the bench,
