  Speaker 3: You're more than welcome, Jake. I've just just as hot
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: in your backyard as as it is on this side
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: of the state line.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm telling you, you know, it rained a little
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: bit down in our part of the county last night,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and I just stood out there and watched it because
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, yes, we finally got some rain. My
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: grass needs it. So uh it is, uh, hey, when
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: do you guys kick high school football? Offer there? I
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: know it's coming up here in the next few weeks.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Well, actually camp has opened up this week, and then
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: a couple what to do they I don't know about.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: You know, they have the jamborees and some of them
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: are going to start. What the seventeenth I've heard is
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the earliest I've heard as far as the jamboree, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: then basically whatever that last Friday night is in August.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: That's when the real dog gets rocking and rolled.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we're I think both states are right on
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: target as far you know, we have some the m AIS,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: which is the private schools in the sat Misisippi, they'll
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: kick off here in a couple of weeks, and then
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the MHSA, the public is a couple of weeks, you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: like you said of chamboree and then kicking it off
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: as well. Speaking of kicking off, we're getting closer to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: SEC football. Boy, we've had some talking season this year
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: with the Big ten and Kurt Signetti and the SEC.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think we're all getting ready for the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: ball to be kicked and the talking to stop, aren't we.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And the other thing that we've learned is there's in
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: the state of Alabama there is a native of North
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Alabama from Huntsville. His name is John Thumraw, and I
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: think he's ready to challenge Lane Kiffin for the go
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: to quotes including be careful if you're going to call
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: him out for petticares't they'll be floating any pictures of
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: sniffing women's high hills shoes. Yeah, I'd like to do
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to the ESPN. So these these young guns coming on, Jake,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, they're not backing down.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: They're not. I was very impressed at SEC media Days
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that that week of the of the six coaches that
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: were all you know, different in new coaches. Very impressed.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: But let's let's talk about some of you mentioned John
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Summer All, I mean, Florida returns, you know, a really
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: good running back room, They've got players. What can he do?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: What billiy Naper couldn't do, What Dan Mullin started but
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: didn't finish what jim mcawaan Jimmy mcawaane couldn't do. Can
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: he get Florida back relevant in the SEC Well, of.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Course, only time. It's gonna tell Jake. But based on
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: all the metrics to measure him by this point, the
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: answer is yes, because he's given these kids what they've
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: been missing, and that's boundaries. He's telling them up front,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: here's the deal. If you want to play here, make
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: your money great, but you're going to be treated like
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: an employee. If you make a million, we want you
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: to make us back to Mellium maybe plus so he's
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: not going to take any you know what. He's laying
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: down the law, and I think at the end of
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the day that probably is going to cost you a
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: recruit here and there, because now everybody's cut out for that,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: especially in the modern era. But I think long term,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: if Florida fans will give him a chance, I think
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: they're in good hands.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Visit with Harold Bug He is a part of the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Boom and Buck Show in the Great State of Alabama
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Friday edition of the program. All Right, So Alex Gulish
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: was another impressive coach on the podium. He seems poised,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: seems to be a good at guy. You know, he's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you can tell he's one of these guys where he's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: going to be polite, but he's not going to take
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: no bull. He looks like he is ready for the SEC.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Is the SEC ready for him? I think Auburn could
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: be pretty darn good this year.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Yeah, I do. And the thing is, you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: in the modern era, the one thing that's hard for
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: any team, and we look at Auburn especially because this
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: offense basically is South Florida's last year. He brought up everybody,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: including Brown, who I think is gonna be one heck
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: of a quarterback. If the question at Auburn right now,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: like a lot of school, is going to get an
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: offensive line that can keep the big uglies off of them.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: It's so then that offense it should be good. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you got DJ Dirkin on the other side of the ball,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: defensive coordinator, and as your listeners know, he is one
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: heck of a defensive coordinator. So when you put those
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: two together and keep in mind Auburn's offense, you better
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: not go to the bathroom if you want to watch them.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: They're fast, they last year they was second fastest offense
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: in the country behind John Denver's team at West Virginia.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: So they I think it's gonna be a different look
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: on offense. And Dj Dirkin, he is pretty reliable on
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: the defense side the boss. So I agree with you state.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: In your state, Alabama. We've talked to Brett about this,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: We've talked to several people, and I think the big
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: question for Alabama, and correct me if I'm wrong, is
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: can they get back to running the football? That was
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: an element that they missed last year And we don't
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: know if it's Hey, they didn't have the guys up front.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I think they've got capable backs or is it just
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: a schematic and you know, kind of a kind of
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a theory thing where they're going to be a pass
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: first team. It'll be interesting to see. But I think
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: they have to run the football.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it one comes back to the offensive line. And
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: then the joke over here is it has to be
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: business last year because it can't get worse. So there's
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: only one direction to go. And you know, I think
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the boards finding out this is not packed. You know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: most of back back in the day, offense, you've got
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: to have a physicality about you. And back to Florida's bringing,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I think what Doltish's bringing, they're gonna bring a smash
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: mouth attitude. In Alabama under the boar has not been
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: that fiscal team. And if you go back and look
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: at any game under a guy named Nick Saban, I
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: remember his first day as a job interview that he was.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: He was asked about his mindset. And I'm not going
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: to quote him exactly here, I'll let you well a
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: mind fill in the blanket says, we want to make
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: them tough, we want to make their aid quip. So
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: that was that was Nick's philosophy. And I think under
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the board he wants more of a finesse offense past first,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: past second and then just hoping, pray again, the running game,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: the milit the clock.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: If you need to in the fourth quarter, give me
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: a team that you're looking at in the SEC, not
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: named Texas, not named Georgia, that may come out that
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: we may look up November go they've got a shot
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to make the SEC championship. Is there a team or
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: two in your mind?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right up the road from you, oh, miss, I mean,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: what would anybody tell you as far as an offense,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have a pretty good quarterback and you have
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: pretty we have a pretty good running back. And who's
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: got a better quarterback in running back? Right now? Time's
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: gonna tell. But on paper, who's got a better one
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: two combo than know? Miss? Right now?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: No, I would agree with you. I mean, and you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be interesting to see, you know, with Pete
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Golding in his first full year with a new offensive coordinator.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think, you know for me, And this is
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the way I look at it. I mean, the talent's there,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the coaches are there, They're gonna do probably everything right
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Monday through Friday. What do they do in the crucial situations?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: You know where Lane Kiff and may have gone forward
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: on fourth and short at the fifty? Do they do
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: they stay with that kind of mindset? Or do they
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: punt and play defense?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: What do they do on certain down and distance? I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: think that's what makes or breaks new coaching staffs personally.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And the thing about Pete, I mean, he's got
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: to answer some questions. He's obviously a very personal guy.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Quite frankly, I think he stole the show. Hello Lane,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: As you see media days, but he was the only
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: guy to get a standing ovation, and that's I think
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: that's one all right. Laine was a pretty boy. He
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: wants to be the GQ centerfold. And Pete is a
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: cat at the end of the bar you want to
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: go have a beer with. And I think he can
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: relate and he fo miss fans and give him a
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: shot with all the contacts he's gotten in the Magnolia State.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Now I think they got to me Lane, taking thishing
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: away from Lane. But they're in good hands with Pete
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Golden if he can get to this first year, because
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: last year, let's be honest, we tend like it is,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: there was a lot of us against them there at
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the end of the season. Obviously that won't be on
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the table. So it's going to be instan see right
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: out of the bat. I guess a pretty good Louisville team.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Make sure to get up to get their show in
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the great state of Alabama. Get him on ex he's
