  SPEAKER_02: It'll be uh an early start for us.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_02: Gotta I think we're leaving here at 6 45 or 6 30.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_02: Gonna get there and roll straight into town.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_02: I guess, guess walk straight into the stadium.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, or early morning kick for sure.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_01: Bring you uh bring you a jacket, man.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna be cold.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know that's what I was looking.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_02: Looks like it's supposed to be 52, I think is the high.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_02: But that's probably in the sunshine, so probably in the shade, it's probably not gonna feel feel that warm, right?
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: So we'll be prepared.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_02: I forgot about that.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it's like it's like our old uh friend of the program, um, Rackham Willie says when you meet the Georgia Bulldogs, you're gonna feel the Georgia Bulldog bite.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: And we felt yes, we felt we felt the Georgia Bulldog bite, no doubt.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_01: But uh hey man, we we were almost uh perfect on our predictions again.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: I think I said 42 to 20, and it was dang close again.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: I know we were real close.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_02: I I I said 45 of three, so I wasn't as close as you.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I I just I you know if you take away that uh that touchdown at the uh end of the first half, that knocks us down a little bit, gets me a little closer to the score.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: But I just I didn't think we'd move the ball against them.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_02: We we actually we did move the ball.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: Um we just we couldn't couldn't put it in the end zone and had some pretty bad calls go against us, too.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that was it's crazy.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: That's how it always happens.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: Usually it's against Alabama, but I guess uh you that's what you expect when you play the big boys that SEC wants them in the championship and keep them on top so they make the calls, but so you gotta beat the refs and the team.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: So I knew going in we didn't have a shot, but uh at least we didn't get blown out like really, really bad.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, yeah, there were there were so many Georgia fans there.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh the whole other side the the uh east side of the stadium was red and black, but I guess it's because they haven't been to start one 12 years, and they're number one.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_01: It's probably an easy ticket to get rather than the home game.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, uh, I've never seen so many away away uh fans before in a game.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_01: It was crazy.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that is crazy.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I I noticed a lot of people were on there complaining about how many Georgia people were in the stands and everything like that.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: I was I was surprised um that more people didn't come, you know.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_02: Uh Mississippi State fans.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: I guess they just figured it wasn't gonna be close, but I just figured that people would want to see the number one team in person and see see what they're all about.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, I did see.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: They did want to uh come down there to see the number one team, I'm sure.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: Um but you know, it it because I'm I'm I'm pleased that we hung in there, but you know, I don't know who's gonna beat Georgia.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be interesting to see if LSU can can knock them off in the SC championship game and what's gonna happen there.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_01: Because if you do, that's gonna be crazy.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: Who gets into the playoffs?
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: So it's gonna be interesting to see how it all turns out.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_02: I know I'm I'm kind of interested to see too, because you know, LSU got got got hammered by Tennessee.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_02: Um, right, but I think they're a different team now.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_02: So we'll see, but I don't I don't know.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_02: I I think Georgia probably still still pull out.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: I I don't quite see how Georgia's gonna lose the game after see them in person.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: I've they've the guys that they have are just so big, I mean tall, just uh unbelievably athletic.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: So um you could just tell a difference between the two teams when they're playing each other, which one was a better team.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: I think Will Rogers even said something about that too.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: So uh so yeah, you know, we were spot on our predictions.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: I think at the beginning of the season I said eight and four.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I can't remember what you said.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, what was your season prediction?
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's what I I'm pretty sure that's what I ended up too, eight and four.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: We both said eight and four, and I mean we're we're sitting right here at what six and four.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: We're we'll get this win this weekend, seven and four.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: So uh it's going to the egg bowl.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna come down to the egg bowl.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, I'm a little I'm a little worried about it.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, definitely.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: I am too.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we went, I went last night and heard uh our good friend and host Steve Robertson speak at the quarterback club.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: And and we had uh they have one of the assistant coaches there talking about the game this weekend, and he said that uh um someone asked, Do you think we'll see some um Sawyer Robertson or some uh backup players get in?
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: He said that that's the plan that they hope that we can get ahead far enough and get Sawyer a bunch of reps because he doesn't he's only played in two games this year.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um and they said hopefully we can even get the third guy in.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um if it plays out like that.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: So hopefully uh we can come in this weekend and and just take care of business and absolutely dominate and blow him out and get all of our guys in and um and and move on and and have a good feeling going into the egg ball.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: And it's cool because our old miss is playing at Arkansas, um, and it's a night game, so we'll be finished by our game by two o'clock.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: So then they have to play late at night and then they have to travel back.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: So that's it gives us a little bit of an advantage as far as preparation.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, very true.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: So uh I don't I don't know much about East Tennessee State.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_02: I was just kind of looking at their record.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_02: Looks like they looks like they lost to Wafford uh a couple weeks ago, and they lost to somebody.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_02: I don't even know who their additionals were uh last week, and I don't know what their full record is, but they're losing to teams that you never heard of.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_02: So that's a good sign for us.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, it shouldn't even be shouldn't even be a close game, it should just be a total total domination on all bases of the game for Mississippi State this weekend against East Tennessee.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_01: I'm expecting I don't know what the crowd's gonna be like, but I mean it's gonna be senior day, last home game.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: So hopefully, uh hopefully we'll have a good crowd.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: I've noticed a lot of people online are like essentially giving away tickets.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: I've seen people say, I've got six tickets.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_02: You want to meet have them?
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so we'll see.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_02: The the guy that um got us our tickets, I don't I don't think he's gonna be there.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: Uh he normally has a big big tailgate going and everything.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_02: So we'll we'll see what it's like.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: It's uh early morning kicks are always hard to get crowd to, especially when you're playing a team like East Tennessee that doesn't draw uh big big uh uh crowd to it.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: So um uh but like I said, senior day it's the last time to come to Davis Wayne this year, so hopefully some people come.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know anything about East Tennessee?
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: You ever been to Johnson City?
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: Johnson City, Tennessee.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: I think our good friend in uh the program, uh Austin Whittington, is uh lives in Johnson City, Tennessee, I believe.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's right.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: But I've never been there, I don't know anything about it.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: What about you?
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_02: I've never been, you know, it's about as far uh across the state of Tennessee as you can get from Memphis.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: I think if you draw a diagonal line northeast, it's like the very tip top point of Tennessee that way, and I'm on the very tip top point of southwest, so it's pretty far from here.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_02: Is that near Knoxville?
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, just it's further further north, northeast from there, even.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so that's I've I've been over to Knoxville and Asheville, North Carolina, and yeah, you know, obviously Gatlinburg around that area, but never never been up past past Knoxville going that way.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but that's that's cool.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know anything about it, but I bet it's pretty up there.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think it's pretty nice up there close to the mountains and all that stuff.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_02: So I wouldn't mind taking a visit up there one day.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe we do a home and home series, go up there and check it out.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, this this time last year we played.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: I had to look it up yesterday.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, did we play this team last year?
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: We ended up playing Tennessee State last year.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_01: Now we got East Tennessee State this year, yeah.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: So uh it's very familiar, uh sounding, but uh yeah, hopefully we can we can dominate and put this game behind us and focus on the egg ball.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, but while while we're talking Mississippi State Athletics, you have to bring up uh Chris Jans.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: Have you been watching basketball more?
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I was gonna talk about that too.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: I I'm excited.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: Jan Sanity is going on in Start Vegas right now.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: Jan Sanity.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he is uh he's got it rolling.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: Of course, these teams we're playing might be cupcakes, but some of these teams are tournament teams and and ongoing really good teams, and we're actually just blowing them out.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: So I mean, it's it's awesome to be getting excited about hoops again.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I like to see because because it seems like the past couple years, you know, you play these these no-name teams, or even some of the the mid-major type teams that we should beat, and we just messing around, messing around, and you know, it it takes a buzzer beater or some kind of deal, you beat them by three or four points, and you and you don't feel good about it.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, there hadn't been any question.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_02: I think the first couple games, the you know, we trailed or we were close at the half, but then in the second half just came around and blew everybody out.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_02: So I like to see that.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I went to the opening night game and I was like, gosh, by halftime, I was like, uh, here we come again.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's not gonna be not gonna be a good season, it's gonna be a long season.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: This you know, and man, they came out as a different team in the second half and then haven't been, I mean, just been dominating since.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, so it's it's uh it's exciting to see uh fans get excited about basketball.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, I mean my favorite favorite sports to go to, and so I uh you know what it is when they always say when the hump's rocking, man, nothing like it.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: So hopefully we can get it back rocking.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and and you know, I'm I don't expect us to make the Final Four every year, but it'd be nice to beat the teams you're supposed to beat and then have a decent SEC record and you know have a chance to make a run, have a chance to make the tournament.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: And that's really I think what most Mississippi State fans care about.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: So if we can get back to that level, then I think it'll be be a good thing.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you you just don't want to have like in recent years, we've had teams that were tournament teams, and then we can't we could never find a way to get to the tournament.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: We'd we'd lose all these close games that we weren't supposed to uh be losing, and they ended up costing us in the end.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: So hopefully, uh this is a good sign, you know.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: Um the guy, this is the first year, so I'm not expecting much, but uh if he can get us competitive and get us back to where we can get into the tournament each year, that looks that's what everybody wants.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: So um it's exciting.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: Like I said, it's uh Jan sanity going on.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_02: Jan sanity.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_02: What do you think about the athletic director?
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_02: Are you here anything?
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_02: You think we can uh get out of it.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: I haven't really heard much, heard much.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I've heard, you know, I heard earlier about the possibly bought the Wake Forest Athletic Director, but I really haven't heard anything since.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_01: So I really don't know if they're gonna go outside of the department and or or inside.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what they're gonna do.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be wonder if we can wonder if we can get our boy back from Texas.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: Who is that?
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_02: The um the women's basketball coach of Texas.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_02: Oh man, I'd love to get Vic back.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_02: Wonder if we can get Vic Vic back in the building.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: Listening, Vic, the athletic director and the women's coach.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'll take it.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_02: Although I thought I thought uh Purcell was all right, but I saw they lost the other night.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, yeah.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_02: But I think they they lost a lot of players, right?
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, and I didn't watch that game.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: They said that was the worst officiated game that uh they'd ever seen.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: And Purcell, man, he seems to be uh tearing it up on the recruiting end.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: Every time I try to get on Twitter, he's he's on there dancing with different recruits.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: Uh they celebrating signing uh different players and stuff.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_01: So um I think that's why he's the number one recruiter in the country.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: So uh that's it, that's promising to see for the women's side.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm excited about that, also.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_02: Well, um, only other thing I've got is uh I noticed our our friend of program, Nick Fitzgerald.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: He's been he's been stirring the pot on some of these old miss fans.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_02: He's got some old miss fans pretty pretty fired up about him.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I love it.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: Love it when old Fitz gets uh gets riled up on Twitter, man.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: He doesn't he's not scared to speak his mind.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: Uh especially this time of the year with Ole Miss coming around, he's he riles them up.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's pretty funny.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_01: They take the bait every time, fall fourth.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so if you're looking for some good um egg bowl content, um I just start following Nick Fitzgerald on Twitter and and you might enjoy yourself.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: Well, uh who do you think is gonna take the uh take the armor job?
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_01: We're talking about that last night at the meeting.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_02: Well, um I honestly don't know.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_02: I I think it I have a feeling it's gonna be Matt Rule, but I wish that it was Lane Kiffin.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but um I I just don't know.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: I heard they offered Lane Kiffin.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know how much that's true or not.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: I really don't know.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_01: I know Ole Miss upped his contract yesterday, so they're they're in panic mode, which is pretty funny.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: Now they're feeling like state was all those times when Mullen was leaving.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: Mullen might be leaving.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: Mullen that Ole Miss people were around, they're about state fans up saying Mullen's gone, Mullen's gone.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: Now they've let's up him up his contract.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: They're feeling the exact same thing that we felt all those years with Dan.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, but yeah, speaking of Dan, you sent me that that Stingray podcast show from the other day where Mullen was on there and he said that he wasn't able to even um make his announcement or or the school wouldn't release his statement for him, so they had to take out an ad McClaring Ledger so they could get their their statement back out.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't know, I don't know what I buy, believe in all that.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_01: Man, somebody's lying somewhere there.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: Uh but I I I really don't know.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's crazy if that's true.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_01: But I find it hard to believe that they would wouldn't do that.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: But I mean, I I don't know.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's crazy that that happened.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_02: Um and he did say he addressed the team before they made the announcement, but I thought it was interesting.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_02: He said he told him, I'm go, I'm walking into the room with my team, so you can go ahead and announce it.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: Why didn't he just wait to say, All right, I'm I've met with my team, now you can announce it.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_01: That's strange.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: Because he said players, players' phones were blowing up during the meeting about it.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I remember when we had Nick on, he was talking about how uh he didn't know the whole point, all the players went in the meeting and they were like, What?
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah, I mean it was it was crazy, but I guess that's just how it's done these days.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, uh yeah, going back to the Auburn coaching thing, I mean, I I would love for them to see uh I would love for them to get uh to make uh Cadillac the coach.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_01: Did y'all see what see what he did after the game the other night?
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_01: What they did that was pretty crazy.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, with his kids and stuff.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_01: He's brought the momentum, you know, he's fired up and he's one of Auburn's own.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, I I love Cadillac, I think he's awesome.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_01: I still remember going to the game in 03 and when he ran for six touchdowns against us.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: So uh he's uh he he's he's a great dude, but I mean I don't think he'll get the permanent gig, but it sure would be nice for Auburn fans uh for him to, but gosh, I really would love for it to see Kiffen go because as much as all state fans hate to say it, Kiffin's a heck of a coach.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: And I I put this on Twitter not too long ago.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: I said Ole Miss fans really need to be appreciative of what they have going on because Lane's a heck of a coach, and and uh I don't know if they really truly appreciate it.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_01: And uh man, even like hey, I'll never never compliment anything old Miss does, but man, it's you can't uh can't hide the facts, man.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_01: He's uh he's awesome, he's a great coach.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: Look at what he's done.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: And uh so and I had a another guy to uh come at me and say, Oh, well, well, Mike Luce has never beaten Ole Miss.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: And and uh uh look at look at what Dan Mullen did.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: Dan Mullen beat Ole Miss, he's a better coach.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, look, I seriously doubt Dan Mullen could have beaten Lane Kiffin.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: He might have been, might have could, but it's a different Ole Miss team with Lane Kiffin than it was with with uh Houston Nutt or uh Q Freeze all any of those any of those teams that Dan Mullen beat is totally different than the Lane Kiffin team today.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: So uh so yeah, he they they got it rolling with Land Kiffin.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: So it would be nice to see him get out of town and go to Auburn just for our sakes, as far as um, because he's gonna be.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, if he beats us next week, it's gonna be just total dominance ever must be stoked.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: So I'd love to see him go.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: I also would love to see Hugh Freeze uh at Auburn.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: I think that would be funny, but I don't think he's gonna leave uh leave Liberty.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: But um, I don't know what they're gonna do, but they it's funny that's going and be in charge of that one too.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_02: What do you think about this scenario?
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_02: What if uh Kiffin leaves, goes to Auburn, and then Old Miss hires Coach Prime.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, Coach Prime, wow, coach prime.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think we'd be back in the same situation you are right now because I think Coach Prime is a heck of a coach.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_01: I think he he would have it rolling like Land Kiffin.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: So, but I don't think Coach Prime's gonna take it.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_01: I think he's holding out for one of the big boy jobs.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um I think I think he's wanting his alma mater, Florida State, but I don't know if that job's gonna be open anytime soon.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: But I could see him holding out, waiting for waiting for a big big job.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe we'll see some developments next week.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_02: Next week we can talk some more on the Ole Miss podcast about that one, the Egg Bowl Week podcast.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um so what are you thinking?
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: You want to give us a prediction for your score?
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you you've been pretty much dead on for most everything, so let's let's hear what you got to say.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm gonna say we're gonna air it out.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna put up tons of points.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: Our defense is gonna probably give up a touchdown later on in the game.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say Mississippi State 59, East Tennessee State 13.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_02: That's pretty close to what I was thinking.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_02: Um I was gonna say 56 to 21.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_02: So the reason I give them 21 points is because I think in the second half we play a lot of second third team guys, right?
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_02: And we we give up a few there in the second half.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_02: But I think first half should be total dominance, should be something like 35 to nothing at halftime, and then we just coast through that.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think so too.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_01: I hope so.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_01: I hope we're right on this one.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_01: We don't need it to be a close, close game because gosh, if it's closer, that's not gonna be good going into all mess momentum-wise.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_01: So we need to just absolutely dominate them from the start.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_02: If we don't absolutely dominate them, I don't know if we should even record a podcast next week because that's right.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_02: It won't be very good.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_01: Well, man, uh, what about what about the pick'ems?
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the pick'ems.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_02: Uh we had we had a different winner.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: Or wait, no, that was last week, but a different winner.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_02: Um this week was a big tie, and I don't think I ever saw who the final winner was.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: It was uh it was yours truly.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it was me and uh oh you took it?
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, took it with dogs and bama, same guy that won last week.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay, okay.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_01: And we tied from top this week, so it brought me back in the uh overall standings.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_01: So I think I'm sitting at three or four in overall standings.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, all it takes is that one one week.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: If you can win one week, then you'll get jump back in the overall standings.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: We only got one or two weeks left.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_01: So uh see, I haven't I have noticed a pattern that seems like we uh our winners mainly are people that have won before.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_01: It's crazy uh in previous weeks, you know.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um, because that dogs and bamboo won, I think last week, and then um I won it earlier in the year, I think.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so um, yeah, it's been fun.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_01: Uh so put your picks in.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_01: We got, I guess, like two more weeks of doing it.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I gotta call these people out though.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_02: We sent them some coffee, we sent somebody um some Johnny Packer gear, and I haven't seen a single social media share of hey guys, thanks for the coffee.
• 21:46
  unknown: Yeah.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_02: So y'all, yeah, y'all get on there.

  SPEAKER_01: Uh he posted a picture of the coffee.
• 21:56

• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: Right.

  SPEAKER_02: Well, um, Johnny, hopefully I'll get a chance to see you sometime tomorrow down at the game.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_02: And uh and I did want to to say we had a couple of listeners say that are we sponsored by the Como Steakhouse?
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_02: And we we are not sponsored by the Como Steakhouse, but if the Como Steakhouse is listening, yeah, we would be glad to accept your sponsorship.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_02: We will be down there February 28th for the Memphis Grizzlies LA Lakers game.
