- 3:06Speaker 4: Fame and look over my shoulder. We got to figure
- 3:09Speaker 4: out if those are real oranges. We still haven't got
- 3:11Speaker 4: that answer.
- 3:13Speaker 3: I want, like, I feel like they are they I
- 3:16Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know the process of aging for oranges,
- 3:19Speaker 3: so I don't know if it is.
- 3:20Speaker 4: In fact, they'd have to change them weekly. There have
- 3:23Speaker 4: to be something in the budget. It's true to buy
- 3:25Speaker 4: a little s oranges.
- 3:27Speaker 3: The only time I've covered I think only one Orange bowl,
- 3:30Speaker 3: and I know, like the day of the game, it's
- 3:33Speaker 3: truly real oranges. I can Yeah, I don't know if
- 3:36Speaker 3: they fake it.
- 3:39Speaker 4: We got to get some answers because it would take
- 3:41Speaker 4: a lot. I would be shocked if it was. But
- 3:43Speaker 4: they look pretty damn real.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Miss breakfast this morning, Bud, Yeah, I did trying to
- 3:49Speaker 3: get an orange in.
- 3:50Speaker 4: I got some. I got some pistachios. Usually I don't
- 3:54Speaker 4: eat breakfast before the show, but since it is like
- 3:57Speaker 4: eight o'clock here on the East Coast, time felt like
- 4:00Speaker 4: I needed something. Thanks for the hat. You got it, dude?
- 4:05Speaker 4: How's it fit? Nice? That's that's a tough tough to
- 4:09Speaker 4: fit that head too, very tough.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Uh huh. We went with some new summer colors this year,
- 4:14Speaker 3: little uh. Yeah, don't take any credit for this. This
- 4:16Speaker 3: feels like a lacy move.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Yeah, she picked those colors out. It's pretty good, pretty good,
- 4:20Speaker 4: pretty solid.
- 4:21Speaker 3: It is a very solid, very solid hat.

- 5:44Speaker 3: is going to be here today. But before we get there,
- 5:47Speaker 3: let's take a step back in. We had a chance
- 5:50Speaker 3: to catch up with Gary Nussmeier, so we'll certainly start there,
- 5:53Speaker 3: and then I'll kind of go around and kind of
- 5:55Speaker 3: the different things I heard from different people when talking
- 5:57Speaker 3: about BK and WWIGS and Chris Hilton and just the
- 6:00Speaker 3: you know, the entire contingency there from LSU, I've had
- 6:07Speaker 3: enough Smyer. A couple of times I felt like he
- 6:09Speaker 3: was really confident. I felt like he was here with
- 6:13Speaker 3: a purpose, on a mission. It felt like he understood
- 6:16Speaker 3: I played really well last year. If I can just
- 6:18Speaker 3: tweak like one thing here, one thing there, I can
- 6:21Speaker 3: take my game to like the next most elite level.
- 6:25Speaker 3: And I really enjoyed the way he walked into media days,
- 6:28Speaker 3: the way he handled himself, not only with us, and look,
- 6:31Speaker 3: we know what it is like.
- 6:32Speaker 4: He's probably gonna be a little.
- 6:33Speaker 3: Bit more comfortable two former you know, washed up LSU players.
- 6:37Speaker 3: But I heard from everybody place it's a very safe place.
- 6:40Speaker 3: He understood that. We didn't ask him about you know,
- 6:43Speaker 3: interceptions against Texas A and M like others.
- 6:46Speaker 4: But.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Everybody that I talked with said that's a pro. Yeah.
- 6:53Speaker 3: New Heiseel, Rick new Heisel, he had him in the
- 6:56Speaker 3: series XM Room. He goes, man, your guy that is
- 6:59Speaker 3: a pro quarterback. He said, that guy is ready right now.
- 7:02Speaker 3: He said every question that I asked him in New
- 7:04Speaker 3: Heiseld coach quarterbacks, offensive coordinator, longtime head coach, Like every
- 7:09Speaker 3: question I asked him, he was ready to go with
- 7:11Speaker 3: the perfect answer, and not like in a robotic way,
- 7:14Speaker 3: but like yeah, ex'es and o's football talk stuff.
- 7:17Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you can tell when somebody's faking confidence, right,
- 7:23Speaker 4: trying to project a little confidence, trying to project that
- 7:26Speaker 4: I'm good, Like, hey, these are the things I need
- 7:28Speaker 4: to say, because this is what a quarterback says, this
- 7:30Speaker 4: is what my teammates want to hear. But you can
- 7:32Speaker 4: also tell when it's extremely natural, and with Garrett always is.
- 7:37Speaker 4: And so even as a young kid, I could tell
- 7:39Speaker 4: by a style of play he was just like he
- 7:41Speaker 4: had a belief system. He had a confidence. He's like,
- 7:43Speaker 4: I'm gonna do it my way. I'm gonna play my way,
- 7:47Speaker 4: of course within the system, but like I'm a confident guy.
- 7:49Speaker 4: I'm gonna pull the trigger. I know I have a
- 7:51Speaker 4: good guy. I know I have talent, and so I
- 7:56Speaker 4: think everybody's seeing that out off the field right now.
- 7:59Speaker 4: So they're interviewing just like you say, Coach k new
- 8:01Speaker 4: Houses said it like he handles himself like a prob
- 8:04Speaker 4: because he's really, like deep down a confident player and
- 8:09Speaker 4: he and he has already proven that he's backed it
- 8:11Speaker 4: up on the field. So we uh, when we were
- 8:15Speaker 4: talking to him yesterday, I asked a question, I said,
- 8:17Speaker 4: when Garrett, Garrett, when you look back on the season,
- 8:20Speaker 4: when this when the dust settles from the season when
- 8:22Speaker 4: you look back on it, what it's going to be
- 8:25Speaker 4: your what's it gonna take for you to say that
- 8:27Speaker 4: was a successful season. And he made no qualms about it,
- 8:30Speaker 4: like they you could tell what the messaging is within
- 8:34Speaker 4: within that locker room, within that football the team meeting
- 8:38Speaker 4: room with all the coaches and all the players, because
- 8:40Speaker 4: they said, we expect to be in the SEC championship
- 8:42Speaker 4: and we expect to play for a national championship. So
- 8:46Speaker 4: I love hearing that, right, Yeah, I love to do
- 8:48Speaker 4: And they kind of like back away from saying the
- 8:50Speaker 4: names of things exactly, they say, yeah, we expect to
- 8:53Speaker 4: be playing for championships.
- 8:55Speaker 3: I don't understand why people do that, because what Bolton
- 8:58Speaker 3: bore material? Am I gonna play any harder because you
- 9:00Speaker 3: said this in August or July? Right, They're going to
- 9:02Speaker 3: play the game the same way and not everybody get no.
- 9:06Speaker 4: Dull like kind of answer. But but but it's always but.
- 9:09Speaker 3: So many people run away from that mentality, and we've
- 9:12Speaker 3: talked about it, like I forget, I forget who I
- 9:15Speaker 3: was arguing with about this, But like I love the
- 9:18Speaker 3: fact that they're like, hey, this is what it is.
- 9:20Speaker 3: This is what it has to be, like we we
- 9:23Speaker 3: can't half step into this season and like, oh my gosh,
- 9:26Speaker 3: let's talk about it, like we wouldn't game at a time,
- 9:28Speaker 3: and we just got to get this game. And then
- 9:30Speaker 3: the next game it's like, man, no, screw that, Like.
- 9:32Speaker 4: We're too good for that.
- 9:34Speaker 3: We got to go out and we got to win
- 9:35Speaker 3: games and win games at a high level, get to
- 9:37Speaker 3: double digit wins, get to Atlanta, play for a championship,
- 9:41Speaker 3: get into a college football playoff, yep. Because they haven't
- 9:43Speaker 3: had that message before. And I'm not just talking about
- 9:45Speaker 3: this team. I'm talking about you know, the last however
- 9:48Speaker 3: many handful of years, like twenty nineteen, when Joe Burrow
- 9:52Speaker 3: went to Manning Passing Academy, He's like, now we're gonna
- 9:54Speaker 3: score forty forty five fifty points a game. Everybody say yeah, okay, Bud.
- 9:57Speaker 3: And then what they do. They went out there and
- 9:59Speaker 3: they did right. And he said it with his chest
- 10:01Speaker 3: out because he believed it. He knew he had been
- 10:03Speaker 3: there the year before and they won a Fiesta Bowl.
- 10:05Speaker 3: He understood how much they grew in that offseason.
- 10:09Speaker 4: I like that.
- 10:10Speaker 3: I like my quarterback being like I don't know who
- 10:12Speaker 3: in the world's going to stop us because we are.
- 10:14Speaker 3: And a lot of people can say that.
- 10:16Speaker 4: A lot of people do project that out there, but
- 10:19Speaker 4: it's not coming from a real place. It's a guy
- 10:21Speaker 4: that's that you know, maybe never played before, maybe they
- 10:23Speaker 4: don't have the talent around. He's just projecting confidence. And
- 10:27Speaker 4: of course competitors are going to do that. If you're
- 10:29Speaker 4: a competitor at this level, of course you're going to
- 10:32Speaker 4: believe you going everything. But the confidence level, the way
- 10:37Speaker 4: he said it, you know, the way he talked just
- 10:39Speaker 4: a matter of fact, and because he's backed it up
- 10:41Speaker 4: on the field and been there and it is like
- 10:43Speaker 4: an unquestioned leader in that locker room, but also an
- 10:47Speaker 4: unquestioned top player in the country. Was was you know,
- 10:53Speaker 4: I was impressed by it. And you know, he also
- 10:58Speaker 4: with the big picture in place a matter of fact,
- 11:00Speaker 4: big we expect to play for SEC, we expect to
- 11:02Speaker 4: play for a national champion. Yip. But he also said,
- 11:05Speaker 4: but we're also very hyper focused on game one. Yeah,
- 11:09Speaker 4: so of course there's a big you know, they paint
- 11:11Speaker 4: this picture of what they want the season to look like,
- 11:14Speaker 4: but they also understand there's a right way to do it,
- 11:16Speaker 4: and we talked about the leadership on the team and
- 11:20Speaker 4: what has felt different, and pretty fast answer and said, well,
- 11:24Speaker 4: this is the most talented team that I've been on,
- 11:26Speaker 4: and so Tiger fans, we should be pretty excited because
- 11:30Speaker 4: we got a guy that has been with us and
- 11:32Speaker 4: is going into a second full time second year, is
- 11:34Speaker 4: a full time starter and is saying that this is
- 11:37Speaker 4: the most talented team. And for LSU, that's pretty strong.
- 11:41Speaker 4: He's been there for five years, so he's seen some
- 11:43Speaker 4: extremely talented teams and for him to say that we
- 11:47Speaker 4: got the most talent this year not bad.
- 11:50Speaker 3: Yeah, And you're right like being focused on game one
- 11:52Speaker 3: because you have to be, but like within that, it's
- 11:55Speaker 3: not the cliche. We got to focus on game one
- 11:59Speaker 3: because you can't go you know, let's just start one.
- 12:01Speaker 4: To know.
- 12:01Speaker 3: I hate stuff like that, Like I'm like, that is
- 12:03Speaker 3: so passive, that is like non alpha.
- 12:06Speaker 4: That is the most beta energy ever.
- 12:07Speaker 3: No. I love the fact that on their tackling dummies
- 12:12Speaker 3: right now they got Paul Prince, you know who has
- 12:13Speaker 3: a Paul print on the side of their helmet. The
- 12:17Speaker 3: Clemson Tigers BK sat right there in front of us
- 12:21Speaker 3: on that stage and said, no, no, no, on our stuff.
- 12:24Speaker 3: We got Paul Prince because Paul Prince is Clemson, and
- 12:27Speaker 3: that's who we want to think about, is Clemson. We
- 12:29Speaker 3: want to hit that path thinking about Clemson. I'm like, hell, yeah,
- 12:32Speaker 3: let's go sign me up for that, don't sign me
- 12:34Speaker 3: up for well. Man, we just got to put one
- 12:36Speaker 3: front foot in front of the other. We just got
- 12:38Speaker 3: to keep moving forward every single day. Like I want
- 12:40Speaker 3: to hear that this team needs a little pisson, Benegar,
- 12:44Speaker 3: and I think they got that this offseason.
- 12:47Speaker 4: Yeah I did too. It's uh, I think the leadership
- 12:51Speaker 4: on this team from top to bottom of man, look
- 12:54Speaker 4: at look at the guy, our guy with Weeks yesterday,
- 12:58Speaker 4: his interviews walking around here are just it's like the
- 13:00Speaker 4: energy he brings with him, just like I'm walking down
- 13:02Speaker 4: the stairs with with with Peter Burns yesterday and I
- 13:05Speaker 4: you know, we talked for just a second, but it's like,
- 13:08Speaker 4: you know what, I've listened to you in your interviews today.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Just talk to you. I think I might die for
- 13:13Speaker 4: you right now. You just that kind of guy. Yeah,
- 13:16Speaker 4: do you mean to take Peter out right now? Because
- 13:18Speaker 4: if you asked me to, I'll do it. This got
- 13:19Speaker 4: bothered you exactly, but I'll bounce for you.
- 13:22Speaker 3: All day and dude, he has that, and so I'll
- 13:26Speaker 3: share like a personal message. So my big boss at
- 13:30Speaker 3: Series XM, who does every media day, pro college, whatever,
- 13:33Speaker 3: runs NASCAR, does a lot, right, So he's been around
- 13:36Speaker 3: a lot of like dudes. He wrote me, said, what
- 13:39Speaker 3: weeks is that?
- 13:40Speaker 4: Dude?
- 13:41Speaker 3: What a great representation of your school? You damn right
- 13:44Speaker 3: he is. And I'm like, hell, yeah, let's go.
- 13:46Speaker 4: Hell do it?
- 13:47Speaker 3: Car me up yesterday to have those guys roll through there.
- 13:50Speaker 3: I didn't get a chance, so I got I got
- 13:52Speaker 3: Wit downstairs and just a private conversation which I'll disappoint
- 13:55Speaker 3: you in a little bit. We had nus Meyer up here.
- 13:58Speaker 3: I didn't get a chance to catch up with Hilton,
- 14:00Speaker 3: but I know Matt Scom said.
- 14:02Speaker 4: He got him.
- 14:02Speaker 3: He said he was really good for ten and a
- 14:04Speaker 3: half minutes, and sometimes to get ten and a half
- 14:07Speaker 3: minutes out of a college player is a long interview.
- 14:09Speaker 3: He said he was confident. I saw him get up
- 14:12Speaker 3: on the podium. I saw it this morning, he owned.
- 14:14Speaker 3: He's like, which game outside of the opener are you
- 14:16Speaker 3: most looking forward to? He said, old miss, because there
- 14:20Speaker 3: was a pass that I dropped in the end zone
- 14:22Speaker 3: a couple of years ago that if I catch it, we.
- 14:23Speaker 4: Win the game. I'm like, I love that, ain't running
- 14:26Speaker 4: from it. Yeah, that's a good interview. That was a
- 14:28Speaker 4: really good answer that I saw that this morning. It's
- 14:30Speaker 4: actually and to have that to paint that picture for
- 14:35Speaker 4: yourself as motivation. We all get motivated different ways. We
- 14:38Speaker 4: all get motivated by, whether it's success or family, friends, money, disappointments,
- 14:44Speaker 4: whatever it is, we all have something that we have
- 14:47Speaker 4: to be motivated by. And to see him say, all right,
- 14:49Speaker 4: last year I was hurt, so I didn't get to play.
- 14:51Speaker 4: But the time before that, the two years ago, I
- 14:54Speaker 4: dropped a pass in the end zone, they could have
- 14:56Speaker 4: won the game. So that's the motivation he's taken with, yep,
- 15:01Speaker 4: and looking forward to it because because you know, we
- 15:04Speaker 4: didn't know how he was going to be answering questions
- 15:06Speaker 4: and conference. Just like you said, like that as like
- 15:08Speaker 4: a newbie interviewer myself, Like, that's what it's like terrifying
- 15:13Speaker 4: if I get a college kid that's like I asked
- 15:15Speaker 4: him a question that I've like thought of for three
- 15:17Speaker 4: days and he's like, yes, period, that's it. I'm like, Okay,
- 15:21Speaker 4: well what's next.
- 15:23Speaker 3: I had four or five of those yesterday, so yes, continue.
- 15:29Speaker 4: That's on your answer. Please, well, I think of my
- 15:32Speaker 4: next question.
- 15:33Speaker 3: That's it, man, I don't want to say the player's name,
- 15:35Speaker 3: but I went from a player that was that that
- 15:37Speaker 3: was two three word answers and would shake his head
- 15:40Speaker 3: and say yeah after it, and I'm like, oh, that's it,
- 15:43Speaker 3: which is fine, Look whatever, nothing, you know, everybody's nerves
- 15:46Speaker 3: and different things. And then right after that, I had
- 15:50Speaker 3: Diego Pavia Electric Electric.
- 15:55Speaker 4: You were waxing poetically about him last night.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Two S words and then F word and real quick,
- 16:03Speaker 3: real quick. I mean no, I'm talking about like we
- 16:06Speaker 3: got in and he was out that gate, and I
- 16:09Speaker 3: could see why people would follow that guy into a fire.
- 16:12Speaker 4: Do you think so he dropped it the two S
- 16:15Speaker 4: words and enough word? Do you think he knew going
- 16:17Speaker 4: in there? I don't think he is. He didn't care.
- 16:19Speaker 4: I don't think he cared. I don't. I don't.
- 16:21Speaker 3: He didn't like, he didn't stop talking, he didn't change it,
- 16:24Speaker 3: he didn't sit up in his seat any differently, and
- 16:26Speaker 3: he was talking about what the cool part about it
- 16:28Speaker 3: was he got fired up talking about his team and
- 16:31Speaker 3: then he lets go yep.
- 16:34Speaker 4: And that's another thing. So people can project confidence when
- 16:38Speaker 4: they're not really that confident. People can use curse words
- 16:41Speaker 4: either really well or you can you can tell they're
- 16:45Speaker 4: trying to be that guy that uses furse words. Cool. Uh,
- 16:49Speaker 4: Diego Pavia seems like he's a guy that can use
- 16:52Speaker 4: him very well.
- 16:54Speaker 3: He did, yeah, and he used him for motivation and
- 16:57Speaker 3: he motivated me.
- 16:58Speaker 4: Are you ready? So if we had to, if we're
- 17:03Speaker 4: in a if you're in a room, you got wit
- 17:06Speaker 4: Weeks on your left, Diego Poppy on your right, shots
- 17:10Speaker 4: were fired. Who you jumping in front of wit Weeks? Okay? Yeah,
- 17:14Speaker 4: but you think about it. No, I wouldn't.
- 17:16Speaker 3: Like he's the only one, Like there's no think in
- 17:18Speaker 3: front of whit Weeks, you know. But I get I
- 17:21Speaker 3: get all the hyper out of Diego Papa.
- 17:23Speaker 4: Yeah. It's like, wait, how can you be so awesome
- 17:26Speaker 4: and talk with such a big smile with an accent
- 17:29Speaker 4: and have that much energy in everything that you say? Yeah?
- 17:34Speaker 4: Oh man, I think Garrett as far as going to
- 17:36Speaker 4: win to the husband this year, like, yep, you may
- 17:39Speaker 4: disappoint you. What I know, I know what you're gonna say.
- 17:43Speaker 4: So and like, we have to let the listeners go
- 17:45Speaker 4: because I know they're wondering off air.
- 17:49Speaker 3: I went up to Wit, I said, hey, Bud, I
- 17:52Speaker 3: got one question, one question only, have you seen Barcita Blues?
- 17:58Speaker 3: And do you know who Jonathan mox And is the
- 18:01Speaker 3: disappointment on his face when he knew he let me down.
- 18:07Speaker 3: It hurt me, not as much as it hurt me.
- 18:11Speaker 3: He was, he was the guy, He had the best
- 18:13Speaker 3: betting odds. He was not a single soul here that
- 18:17Speaker 3: knows Varsity Blues.
- 18:23Speaker 4: Not even the people that should know it that are
- 18:26Speaker 4: a little bit older, that are our generation. He promised
- 18:28Speaker 4: he would watch it though, Yeah he promised. So nuss Meyer,
- 18:34Speaker 4: you let me down. With weeks. He let me down.
- 18:40Speaker 4: I still love y'all, but maybe a little bit less. Now.
- 18:44Speaker 4: We'll get it back, We'll circle back. There's gonna be
- 18:46Speaker 4: something y'all can do to make it up. But it
- 18:50Speaker 4: was truly shocking. And not only did he did Garrett
- 18:54Speaker 4: say he didn't hadn't seen it, but he looked at
- 18:57Speaker 4: us and said, wait, that's not my generation, is it. Yeah?
- 19:01Speaker 3: I was like, oh yeah, no, dang, get chill out, bro, Yeah,
- 19:04Speaker 3: chill out, dude, I do also before we move on,
- 19:08Speaker 3: because we probably won't talk Vanderbilt anymore obviously after yesterday
- 19:11Speaker 3: and they were here so over in our serious XM room,
- 19:14Speaker 3: we have a grip strength like meter, like an official one,
- 19:19Speaker 3: like electronic. It gives you right, and so we've been
- 19:22Speaker 3: having different players going there, a different host and the
- 19:26Speaker 3: players was shockingly low actually, some of the grip strength
- 19:29Speaker 3: that we had there. Uh and you know, we got
- 19:31Speaker 3: dooring in there and he's doing it.
- 19:33Speaker 4: It wasn't great.
- 19:35Speaker 3: So I'm feeling good, Dusty the board checking out like
- 19:38Speaker 3: we're feeling good, Like we're the leaders in the clubhouse right,
- 19:40Speaker 3: Like we're feeling good. And so the players come in there,
- 19:43Speaker 3: they're like twenty below us. We're like, we're the one
- 19:45Speaker 3: forty seven. They're getting like one got the old man
- 19:48Speaker 3: strength we do. Let me tell you something though, we
- 19:51Speaker 3: were like in clerkly. If you don't know, he played
- 19:53Speaker 3: fullback at Vanderbilt. He comes in and we're like, hey,
- 20:00Speaker 3: do you want to Before we could even finish, he's like,
- 20:02Speaker 3: give it to me. He gets in the stands and
- 20:05Speaker 3: he gets that son of a gun and he square
- 20:08Speaker 3: and just pulls it. You could hear the plastic cracking,
- 20:11Speaker 3: crushed everybody in the room, crush them, players, host other coaches.
- 20:18Speaker 4: They just look look yelling the high and walk off silently.
- 20:23Speaker 3: Basically, I'm saying, whatever the over under is on Vandy
- 20:26Speaker 3: because of that one moment, take it, Take it.
- 20:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I would. There's really no better betting strategy that
- 20:37Speaker 4: I would take it off that for sure. Do you
- 20:40Speaker 4: think he's got a gripper like.
- 20:42Speaker 3: In his office, No doubt, like the old school Yeah yeah,
- 20:46Speaker 3: like the one that's got the phone on it.
- 20:48Speaker 4: Yep. You're a big Clark League guy, big Clark League guy,
- 20:51Speaker 4: and if.
- 20:52Speaker 3: You can make Vanderbilt relevant, you're doing something.
- 20:56Speaker 4: So they have one of your favorite head coaches in
- 20:58Speaker 4: the SEC, they your favorite quarterbacks and SEC. Are they
- 21:03Speaker 4: going to be your team of the.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Year as of today? It's still missoo as of today.
- 21:10Speaker 3: But let me tell you something. They're sneaky. That test
- 21:14Speaker 3: of strength and the words that came out of Diego
- 21:19Speaker 3: Popy's mouth, they're they're climbing, They're climbing the charts.
- 21:23Speaker 4: I mean, I would think that they just based on
- 21:27Speaker 4: that alone, I know we got to give the Missouri
- 21:29Speaker 4: their chance. Give you.
- 21:30Speaker 3: We think Eli's got a bigger grip strength Clark, I
- 21:35Speaker 3: don't know.
- 21:36Speaker 4: Uh, I think that me being a former quarterback, I
- 21:40Speaker 4: would crush crush him at the grip thing, which isn't great.
- 21:45Speaker 3: You can come down and uh we'll test it. I
- 21:47Speaker 3: don't know if I want to or not. You got
- 21:50Speaker 3: this thing forearm. So Lane Kiffen came in and he
- 21:55Speaker 3: was he was like looking at him, like, hey, because
- 21:59Speaker 3: Doring had left. I said, Doring wanted to do a
- 22:02Speaker 3: competition with you, but he had to leave. He had
- 22:03Speaker 3: to go do some TV stuff. Do you want to do?
- 22:06Speaker 4: He's like, I don't know. Man.
- 22:07Speaker 3: You see Doring guy. That guy all he does, he's
- 22:09Speaker 3: a meat head. All he does his work. It's like
- 22:10Speaker 3: I do hot yoga. We're like, all right, well, like
- 22:13Speaker 3: here's how.
- 22:13Speaker 4: You do it.
- 22:13Speaker 3: So I squeeze it and I got like a one
- 22:15Speaker 3: forty six and these oh let me see that, and
- 22:18Speaker 3: he grabs it. He looks at the one forty six.
- 22:20Speaker 3: He goes, take our picture. He pointed to the one
- 22:23Speaker 3: forty six and send.
- 22:24Speaker 4: It to Dooring. It's like, gotcha, beach.
- 22:26Speaker 3: I was like, dude, that's a heavy play smart very
- 22:29Speaker 3: I mean, he knew immediately. Let me see it all right, yep,
- 22:31Speaker 3: and then let somebody else do the work. So he
- 22:33Speaker 3: beat Doring smart even though Doring crushed him. Doesn't know no,
- 22:37Speaker 3: absolutely not good. Well let him think that Lane Kiffen
- 22:40Speaker 3: has much much better grip strength than he does.
- 22:43Speaker 4: I think Doring went back to the weight room to
- 22:44Speaker 4: about midnight last night.
- 22:45Speaker 3: When Doring wasn't close to our number, he started doing
- 22:49Speaker 3: hand stretches throughout the rest of the show that you know,
- 22:52Speaker 3: like these these old deals here. And then he got
- 22:54Speaker 3: on the chair and he started to like do a
- 22:56Speaker 3: little like getting it ready, four arm stretching. Yeah, it didn't.
- 23:01Speaker 3: It didn't work all right, getting the brakes on twenty
- 23:04Speaker 3: three minutes in, So I guess we'll go ahead.
- 23:06Speaker 4: And uh, well, I mean you got to get ahead
- 23:09Speaker 4: of the chains.
- 23:09Speaker 3: If you don't get ahead of the chains, you'll never
- 23:12Speaker 3: get a first down.
- 23:13Speaker 4: And we had to talk about the grip strength test
- 23:16Speaker 4: for eight minutes. Duh.
- 23:19Speaker 3: It was in my knock. It was in my document,
- 23:23Speaker 3: my document. All right, more ot B when we come

- 25:31Speaker 4: Ooh, I would say Texas. Yeah. I think this guy
- 25:35Speaker 4: named ark.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Ark Manning Ark Manning, Yeah, sophomore, that poor soul is
- 25:42Speaker 3: going to have rushed. So I know since Moscona turn
- 25:48Speaker 3: the cameras around, y'all can't tell there's these little things
- 25:51Speaker 3: in the corner, right do you? Like? You know, some
- 25:54Speaker 3: people go to the main stage, but there's you know,
- 25:56Speaker 3: people off to the side as well, And like Nussmeyer
- 25:59Speaker 3: was off to this side and he was like ten deep,
- 26:02Speaker 3: I mean, just all the people's all the peoples. There's
- 26:06Speaker 3: not enough room down there for what I think probably
- 26:08Speaker 3: Arch is going to get cause I'll be down there.
- 26:10Speaker 3: You're gonna go down there? I don't know, I might Yeah, I.
- 26:14Speaker 4: Really just want to have the opportunity to say, excuse me,
- 26:18Speaker 4: all right, you play for? Can you tell me your name?
- 26:21Speaker 4: Spell it out? Uh? Position? And school you play for? Yeah,
- 26:24Speaker 4: I really want to say that. Yeah, but why don't
- 26:27Speaker 4: you wow? Because it sounds like it's gonna be about
- 26:30Speaker 4: twenty people. Dah, it is gonna I do feel bad.
- 26:33Speaker 4: I mean I don't feel bad for him, don't get
- 26:34Speaker 4: me wrong, but like he's gonna get crushed today. Yeah,
- 26:37Speaker 4: and rightfully so they're they're sid and all the people
- 26:41Speaker 4: around him have got their hands full. Yeah, keeping everybody
- 26:45Speaker 4: at bay. They're gonna be like security guards today. Yeah.
- 26:48Speaker 3: I know I've got him a little bit later on.
- 26:49Speaker 3: Obviously they're the last team today. We won't get him
- 26:51Speaker 3: on this show. I've got him later on off campus.
- 26:53Speaker 3: You can ask him about Varsity Blues.
- 26:56Speaker 4: Yeah you better.
- 26:57Speaker 3: Yeah, because he's now because wit let us down. He
- 27:00Speaker 3: now are probably the only other He's the last hope.
- 27:04Speaker 4: I don't know. Somebody could surprise us up. Oh I
- 27:07Speaker 4: did say Blake shape and might know. I think, like
- 27:09Speaker 4: you look at this, there's somebody on here that would
- 27:12Speaker 4: surprise us. You would have no clue. Maybe it's Jackson Arnold.
- 27:17Speaker 4: Maybe so it's not what weeks or get mine. I mean,
- 27:23Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say it's an indictment on the season,
- 27:26Speaker 4: but it's a character flaw for sure. Yeah, we're gonna
- 27:31Speaker 4: be honest with each other.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Uh.
- 27:32Speaker 3: The three players at Texas is bringing Anthony Hill junior linebacker,
- 27:36Speaker 3: stud Arch Manning, Arc Manning, if Arc, maybe you want
- 27:41Speaker 3: to uh, Michael taff senior dB.
- 27:44Speaker 4: I love his story.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Guy walked on from the area, kind of bet on himself,
- 27:50Speaker 3: turned down smaller schools, and he's turned himself into a
- 27:53Speaker 3: really good player, multiple year starter, a guy that they
- 27:56Speaker 3: certainly are going to count on in the back end.
- 27:59Speaker 3: Can kind of play a little bit of everything. Played
- 28:01Speaker 3: both safety positions, he can in a pinch, he can
- 28:03Speaker 3: play some corner, he can play some nickel. Just kind
- 28:06Speaker 3: of a jack of all trades type guy. And he's
- 28:09Speaker 3: one of those you know, he's one of those players
- 28:12Speaker 3: that you feel like he gets you in the right
- 28:15Speaker 3: situation every single time. He can make every single play
- 28:19Speaker 3: as well. And they've got a couple of those at
- 28:21Speaker 3: Texas Now. They did lose a lot. He's a Westlake kid, Yeah,
- 28:26Speaker 3: that's sayings.
- 28:28Speaker 4: He was teammates with Kate Klemnick. Okay, when they were together.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Actually, I'm pretty sure Michael Taff intercepted quinn Ewers when
- 28:39Speaker 3: he was I guess he's south Lake, right, yep, south Lake.
- 28:41Speaker 3: They played in the playoffs and they ended up being teammates.
- 28:44Speaker 3: But Michael Taff like came up with like the game
- 28:46Speaker 3: ceiling interception or something.
- 28:47Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder if it was so yeah, Cade they
- 28:52Speaker 4: they faced off in the state championship, so it says here.
- 28:55Speaker 4: So yeah, he was part of the team at Westlake.
- 28:57Speaker 4: They went back to back state titles. Mister Taff, you.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Got Tennessee coming in and now they're not bringing their
- 29:06Speaker 3: quarterback in Georgia.
- 29:08Speaker 4: Is bringing Gunnerstock going to you? Everybody should have to
- 29:11Speaker 4: You should be forced to bring a quarterback. Everybody well
- 29:13Speaker 4: with their.
- 29:14Speaker 3: Situation right in what it you know, how it played out,
- 29:18Speaker 3: and I am ali Aba being now UCLA and you
- 29:21Speaker 3: like pretty much make this trade you get from UCLA.
- 29:26Speaker 3: It's like like who's like what's it going to be now,
- 29:28Speaker 3: Like who's going to be the star? Is it going
- 29:29Speaker 3: to be agular? Is he just going to be the guy?
- 29:31Speaker 3: Like you don't bring him because maybe you want to
- 29:33Speaker 3: create that competition.
- 29:35Speaker 4: I mean, I guess so. I mean that's the only
- 29:38Speaker 4: reason to me is if you're trying to create this,
- 29:41Speaker 4: whether it's an illusion or reality in your system of
- 29:44Speaker 4: like we're going to compete, compete, compete. I'm not ready
- 29:46Speaker 4: to hand the keys to the car to just one
- 29:48Speaker 4: person yet, But everybody cares about hearing the story of
- 29:55Speaker 4: a quarterback, whether it's the quarterback or not, whether it's
- 29:57Speaker 4: the projected quarterback, just to like it's such a an
- 30:00Speaker 4: interesting story. He comes over like the whole quarter they're
- 30:04Speaker 4: trying to avoid it because they're the quarterback situation where
- 30:06Speaker 4: their guy leaving is a disaster, right, so they're just
- 30:12Speaker 4: probably trying to avoid any of those questions. There's he's
- 30:15Speaker 4: still gonna get it, but the kids aren't gonna have
- 30:17Speaker 4: to answer it. It's it's gonna be Joshhipel's gonna have
- 30:20Speaker 4: to answer it. But you know, I just think that
- 30:22Speaker 4: that's the story. Quarterbacks create most of the buzz and
- 30:25Speaker 4: most of the story, whether it's good bad, whether it's
- 30:28Speaker 4: just interesting here and like yeah, the where all the
- 30:32Speaker 4: places you've transferred from, like what happened? Now? You give
- 30:35Speaker 4: it and give a kid a chance to to talk
- 30:38Speaker 4: and be like, somebody's gonna take the first snap in
- 30:41Speaker 4: the first game, and I think you bring the person
- 30:43Speaker 4: you think might be it, and you know, and it
- 30:45Speaker 4: doesn't have to be like, all right, this is our guy.
- 30:47Speaker 4: We're definitely we brought him because he is our guy.
- 30:51Speaker 4: I don't know, I just think every team should be required.
- 30:55Speaker 4: It's not good.
- 30:56Speaker 3: I mean, it's not reality. I'm just yell from a self.
- 30:59Speaker 3: The only team that's not bringing a quarterback here today.
- 31:02Speaker 3: And again, you know, Joey Aguilar transfer from Appalachian State
- 31:05Speaker 3: to UCLA to Tennessee is going to be the expected starter.
- 31:09Speaker 3: They've got a couple of freshmen behind him, but certainly
- 31:12Speaker 3: not who we thought was going to be here.
- 31:14Speaker 4: Whenever Tennessee lost in the Costs.
- 31:16Speaker 3: Football Playoff, we just thought it was gonna be iamli Ava.
- 31:18Speaker 3: He is now in southern California, so certainly in switch
- 31:21Speaker 3: up there for Tennessee. But I do want to talk
- 31:23Speaker 3: about the other teams when we come back, Georgia and Auburn.
- 31:26Speaker 3: What did they have at quarterback? We'll break it all
- 31:29Speaker 3: down when we come back here on OTB off the bench,

- 33:18Speaker 3: you didn't even ask.
- 33:20Speaker 4: A question I met. So I went and sat in
- 33:23Speaker 4: on South Carolina's press conference. Yeah, so I went just
- 33:31Speaker 4: to kind of get the lay of the land, see
- 33:33Speaker 4: the ropes. I know he's Jordan said, he's disappointed. Didn't
- 33:37Speaker 4: hear me ask any questions to nuts or anything. I do.
- 33:41Speaker 4: I feel like I need to bring these questions that
- 33:44Speaker 4: I have. I need to bring them to the big stage.
- 33:47Speaker 4: I need to bring them to the big room. So
- 33:48Speaker 4: maybe today, maybe maybe today, I'll go in there. These
- 33:54Speaker 4: guys so when they're when they're they start raising their
- 33:57Speaker 4: hand with like a couple minutes into the head coach
- 34:01Speaker 4: talking because they're trying to get their place in line.
- 34:03Speaker 4: I guess yeah that hey, And I swear like if
- 34:05Speaker 4: you ever remember back in grade school, when like the
- 34:08Speaker 4: kid really wants to say something, he's raising his hand
- 34:10Speaker 4: and like he's got to throw the other arm up
- 34:11Speaker 4: and like like this, Like I felt like that they
- 34:14Speaker 4: had to their shoulders had to have been getting tired.
- 34:18Speaker 4: I don't know if I could do that.
- 34:19Speaker 3: You did call the mouth breathers yesterday standing it up.
- 34:22Speaker 4: Maybe that was a little extreme. You can't stand for
- 34:24Speaker 4: three hours, your mouth breathers, Yeah, used to used to
- 34:27Speaker 4: yell at us for you know, missing a read and
- 34:30Speaker 4: throwing a pick. You can't stand up for an hour.
- 34:32Speaker 4: Uh yeah, So today we'll see, we'll see. I really
- 34:38Speaker 4: want to be like, I really want to mispronounced Archie's name.
- 34:42Speaker 4: I really want to do well, you'll go viral if
- 34:44Speaker 4: you do that. Excuse me.
- 34:46Speaker 3: Former NFL quarterback Mat Flynn.
- 34:48Speaker 4: Yeah, we were talking about it. Well, if we got
- 34:51Speaker 4: a chance to interview, should be like, you know, just
- 34:53Speaker 4: make it a big slapstick interview. Hey, I don't want
- 34:58Speaker 4: you to get like starstruck or anything. That I played
- 35:01Speaker 4: quarterback at pretty high level and you might not have
- 35:05Speaker 4: ever been around anything that's played in the NFL. But
- 35:08Speaker 4: uh as an arc right, yep.
- 35:10Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be if you know, if he didn't
- 35:13Speaker 3: have twenty deep like you said earlier, there's a couple
- 35:17Speaker 3: of players that you know, I think we'll have a
- 35:20Speaker 3: pretty big crowd, even though they don't necessarily have the
- 35:23Speaker 3: hype of an arch manning. That is Gunner Stockton from Georgia.
- 35:27Speaker 3: It is Jackson Arnold from Auburn, and I would probably
- 35:30Speaker 3: say Gunner Stockton's gonna have one of the biggest crowds there.
- 35:34Speaker 3: We only had a chance to see him, and you know,
- 35:37Speaker 3: the second half of the SEC Championship game, he look
- 35:40Speaker 3: he led his team to victory. They went and won
- 35:42Speaker 3: an SEC championship game. He took a shot at the
- 35:45Speaker 3: goal line too. I don't know if you remember that one.
- 35:47Speaker 4: He got knocked out for a second. Yeah, yeah, I
- 35:49Speaker 4: was like, hey, no, no, but yeah, you heard it up.
- 35:52Speaker 4: You're the backup, so that means there's there's no one
- 35:55Speaker 4: behind you. Yeah, so maybe just slide.
- 35:57Speaker 3: I think Carson Mighty had to like come in the
- 35:58Speaker 3: game and like hand it off with arm for a
- 36:00Speaker 3: little bit, right.
- 36:01Speaker 4: Right, you're right. So and then we saw him in
- 36:03Speaker 4: no concussion, No, not at all.
- 36:05Speaker 3: We saw him in the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame
- 36:07Speaker 3: and we were talking before we jumped on today. It
- 36:10Speaker 3: wasn't bad. Like he made some plays, it was off script.
- 36:13Speaker 3: I think that like that might be his style. It
- 36:16Speaker 3: wasn't like a hey, snap the ball, progression, go through
- 36:20Speaker 3: the read, deliver a pass. It was a little chaotic,
- 36:22Speaker 3: I mean, but again, like that might just be the
- 36:24Speaker 3: world that he lives in a young kid.
- 36:27Speaker 4: There's probably not a lot of you know, actual uh
- 36:33Speaker 4: Georgia offense reps and practice throughout the season. This is
- 36:36Speaker 4: the end of the season, so he's the backup, he's
- 36:38Speaker 4: running scout team. He might get three, four, five maybe
- 36:43Speaker 4: snaps of actual Georgia offense throughout the year. That's that's
- 36:46Speaker 4: the life of the backup quarterback. You have to it's
- 36:48Speaker 4: all mental rep, mental rep. Mental. But then you got
- 36:50Speaker 4: you got a freshman kid, highly touted out of high school.
- 36:53Speaker 4: We saw it, extremely athletic, can throw the ball. Maybe
- 36:56Speaker 4: not like the most beautiful arm talent like delivery, arm motion,
- 37:02Speaker 4: arm tunnel that you've ever seen, but a guy that
- 37:05Speaker 4: just looks like a football player. Right. He came in
- 37:08Speaker 4: there and in the in the SEC Championship and through
- 37:14Speaker 4: the change up on him like we see it all
- 37:15Speaker 4: the time, like the change up being thrown with a
- 37:17Speaker 4: backup with a completely different style of play going there
- 37:20Speaker 4: and just it's like sometimes it just breathes a little
- 37:23Speaker 4: energy when something looks a little because he does had
- 37:25Speaker 4: that chance to get out of the pocket. And like
- 37:27Speaker 4: I said, you know they put in plays that it
- 37:29Speaker 4: was like, all right, we're gonna go are Reed's gonna
- 37:31Speaker 4: be one to two? Yeah, and it's not gonna be
- 37:34Speaker 4: like your beautiful progression top down to a checkdown situation.
- 37:39Speaker 4: And he made some plays and you know, breathe a
- 37:42Speaker 4: little little air, little energy into that team, and they
- 37:45Speaker 4: pulled it out. I mean, and I don't know if
- 37:47Speaker 4: they do that without him coming to that.
- 37:49Speaker 3: So I was at the game, and so I kind
- 37:52Speaker 3: of witnessed this in person, and I like, I don't
- 37:54Speaker 3: know Carson Beck.
- 37:55Speaker 4: I don't know if his team liked him. There's a
- 37:57Speaker 4: lot of reports.
- 37:57Speaker 3: Probably I wouldn't, okay, But when that man came in
- 38:02Speaker 3: that game, the whole sideline, nobody was on the bench,
- 38:05Speaker 3: everybody walked to watch the game. They were so fired up.
- 38:09Speaker 3: And then covering the media day for the Sugar Bowl,
- 38:12Speaker 3: every guy that you talked with and like you said,
- 38:14Speaker 3: the name Gunner, they get this big smile and you
- 38:17Speaker 3: could feel that, and that is something you could feel
- 38:20Speaker 3: in that game. You could feel it in the playoff game,
- 38:23Speaker 3: and so he's got the ear of the team, which
- 38:25Speaker 3: is in my opinion, when you're a new quarterback and
- 38:28Speaker 3: you've had a guy like a Carson Beck who's this
- 38:30Speaker 3: big personality, big name, but you already have that, that's
- 38:34Speaker 3: like step one, Like you get step one out of
- 38:36Speaker 3: the way.
- 38:36Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like he's gonna seeing him today, seeing
- 38:38Speaker 4: him talk, I feel like he's gonna bring a little
- 38:41Speaker 4: bit of that with Week's energy. I've never heard him talk.
- 38:44Speaker 4: I've never heard him speak. I watch a little bit
- 38:45Speaker 4: of that, and just hearing you talk about his team
- 38:48Speaker 4: on their feet excited just means like he's a really
- 38:51Speaker 4: likable guy and brings a lot of energy like you
- 38:55Speaker 4: as the teammates and a quarterback, because you're no one's
- 38:58Speaker 4: gonna get excited for you here unless you're really good
- 39:00Speaker 4: or people just straight up like you.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Yeah, So I feel like he's gonna bring a lot
- 39:05Speaker 3: of energy.
- 39:05Speaker 4: We'll see. We will be the judge of that, I
- 39:07Speaker 4: guess once you start talking about that. In just my mind,
- 39:09Speaker 4: and this kid, he's winning the name game too. Gunner
- 39:14Speaker 4: stocked Gunner Stocked in incredible. Yeah, he could be a
- 39:17Speaker 4: little an old gunny and he's from Tiger.
- 39:20Speaker 3: Georgia, which I didn't know that was a city. That's
- 39:22Speaker 3: a city.
- 39:23Speaker 4: Apparently like that. Don't fact me, fact check me, fact
- 39:29Speaker 4: check chat GPT on this one. Tiger Georgia started Rabin
- 39:35Speaker 4: Rayboon County High School.

- 42:47Speaker 3: four five ESPN Baton Rouge. We are live from the
- 42:50Speaker 3: twenty twenty five SCC Media Days here in Atlanta, Georgia.
- 42:55Speaker 3: I believe Hugh Freeze is probably going to get up
- 42:58Speaker 3: there on the podium here in a in a matter
- 43:00Speaker 3: of minutes. And Auburn's an interesting football team, certainly one
- 43:04Speaker 3: that you and I know, well, we had some great
- 43:05Speaker 3: battles with the Auburn Tigers and over the last you know,
- 43:10Speaker 3: however many years, twenty twenty five, thirty years, you want
- 43:13Speaker 3: to put on it. They've certainly been in the conversation.
- 43:16Speaker 3: But it's been a minute. It's been a minute. You
- 43:19Speaker 3: had Brian Harson, you gotta let go. He's still paying him.
- 43:23Speaker 3: Hugh frees has the same exact record as Brian Harson
- 43:26Speaker 3: had after two years. So you went and you tried
- 43:29Speaker 3: to get Hugh Freeze, who had great moments at Old Miss,
- 43:33Speaker 3: had some issues. Ghosts of Liberty has great moments at Liberty.
- 43:36Speaker 3: You feel like you hit a home run. We know
- 43:40Speaker 3: that place and their expectations and their crazy level is
- 43:44Speaker 3: like all of it.
- 43:44Speaker 4: Like listen, that is not throwing you know stones, All
- 43:48Speaker 4: of us in the SEC have that.
- 43:51Speaker 3: He gotta win, huh, Like he's got to. He's gonna
- 43:54Speaker 3: put like eight wins in this year, right, Yeah, I
- 43:56Speaker 3: would think so, I mean you got to show life
- 43:59Speaker 3: at least. Yeah, they got to show life this year.
- 44:03Speaker 3: They have to be a threat. And because they've at
- 44:06Speaker 3: times in the past couple of years, they're not.
- 44:09Speaker 4: You know, I think it's one of those games where
- 44:11Speaker 4: you look at the schedule and it's like, all right,
- 44:13Speaker 4: I feel better about playing Auburn than most of the
- 44:15Speaker 4: teams on my schedule. So they got to be a threat.
- 44:18Speaker 4: They have to show some life, They got to show
- 44:19Speaker 4: some growth. Hu Frees brings in Jackson Arnold as we
- 44:24Speaker 4: think the probably the projected, the projected starting quarterback at Auburn.
- 44:29Speaker 4: He's here this week. Well we'll hear him talk today.
- 44:32Speaker 4: Comes over from Oklahoma. Started nine games, played in ten.
- 44:35Speaker 4: Started nine games last year at Oklahoma, was eventually benched.
- 44:40Speaker 4: Whether it's his his doing or not. Their offensively offense
- 44:43Speaker 4: was not great last year. Of course, they got a
- 44:45Speaker 4: defensive head coach there at Oklahoma. But let's dual threat
- 44:49Speaker 4: guy can do it with his legs, can do it
- 44:51Speaker 4: with his arm. Through nine games last year, had fourteen
- 44:56Speaker 4: and twenty one yards sixty two completion rate, which is
- 44:59Speaker 4: pretty good good. Twelve touchdown so not a ton of
- 45:03Speaker 4: touchdown passes. Three interceptions though, so took care of the
- 45:07Speaker 4: ball in that manner. Had one hundred and fifty rush attemps,
- 45:10Speaker 4: four hundred and forty four yards and led them last
- 45:15Speaker 4: year to a to Abama victory at one hundred and
- 45:19Speaker 4: thirty one yards on the ground. So can be a
- 45:23Speaker 4: threat if he takes care of the ball. But of
- 45:24Speaker 4: course got benched towards the end of the season last year.
- 45:28Speaker 3: Got bench kind of came back, and I mean I
- 45:31Speaker 3: say it with the Saints all the time and about
- 45:33Speaker 3: to go to break here. He was throwing the uber
- 45:35Speaker 3: drivers there at the end of the year because all
- 45:38Speaker 3: his top weapons had gone down. We'll see one of
- 45:41Speaker 3: the better receiver rooms in the country there in Auburn, Alabama.
- 45:45Speaker 3: If he can change his fortune, and we'll talk more Auburn, Georgia,
- 45:48Speaker 3: Tennessee and Texas throughout the day. Like I said, Hugh
- 45:51Speaker 3: Freeze is soon to be on the podium hour number two.
- 45:54Speaker 3: Coming back your way here.
