1:33
SPEAKER_00: It's been this is the fourth season of doing it.
1:36
SPEAKER_00: Uh seems like we just started, but um, and then it just the people who have been in that league, I think it automatically sends reminders to.
1:42
SPEAKER_00: I do see a bunch of people have joined in that have been in there years past.
1:46
SPEAKER_00: So if you're listening to this and not sure what what we're talking about, uh go to um Yahoo.
1:52
SPEAKER_00: Uh just Google Yahoo College Football Pick'em.

2:09
SPEAKER_00: The group number is number 7147, and the password is hashtag hellstate.
2:18

2:28

2:34
SPEAKER_01: There'll be uh uh the link will be in there and the password, username, all that stuff.
2:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and it's not it's not anything difficult.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: We don't pick against the spread, we don't do confidence points.
2:43
SPEAKER_00: You just pick the winner or loser.
2:44
SPEAKER_00: That's all it is.
2:45
SPEAKER_00: Easier, uh you just it takes five seconds to go down, pick who you think is gonna win.
2:50
SPEAKER_00: Well, I set up to every SEC game will be on there every week.
2:53
SPEAKER_00: All the big time games will be on there, so it won't be uh games that you've never heard of.
2:58
SPEAKER_00: Um real easy to do.
3:00
SPEAKER_00: And then uh we in the past few years we were we were uh each we each actually we did it each week one time, then we've done it each month, but now we're just gonna do it just because it's so hard to uh get in touch with people because Yahoo hides some of the email addresses, so we don't know how to get in touch with these people.
3:17
SPEAKER_00: So we're just gonna have one grand prize winner at the end who will get some coffee from Johnnypacker.net and uh um and that'll be yeah.
3:25
SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, even the grand prize winner.
3:26
SPEAKER_01: I mean, share your email address.
3:28
SPEAKER_01: Like respond to messages something.
3:30
SPEAKER_01: I mean, like you're getting in this, somehow you know about it, but then you you win something and then you won't even reply to us.
3:36
SPEAKER_01: It's like it's like selling something on Facebook Marketplace, you know.
3:39
SPEAKER_01: It's like, is this still available?
3:40
SPEAKER_01: Is this still available?
3:41
SPEAKER_01: Like, hey, you what you won the thing, like right like reply to your messages.
3:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, reply to your messages when we reach out and say you're the winner, because uh we're literally sending you a free bag of coffee.
3:52
SPEAKER_00: And uh the reason why we do this podcast is to raise money for cystic fibrosis.
3:57
SPEAKER_00: So uh you're technically getting a free bag that where that money should be going to CF.
4:02
SPEAKER_00: So uh, but we're doing that as a as a um as a prize winning for for winning the pick'em thing because it's fun and everything.
4:08
SPEAKER_00: But uh we do we are uh fundraising for through this event, I mean through our our uh Johnnypacker.net with our coffee products.
4:16
SPEAKER_00: So um so please, yeah, if you win, if you're the winner this year, uh reach out to us if you have a hidden email address because that's the that's the issue.
4:24
SPEAKER_00: Uh but other than that, uh just play all along.
4:27
SPEAKER_00: Uh however, if you do miss a week, it's really gonna hurt you this time because previously when we were giving the winners each week or each month, um, it it didn't hurt you really weekly, but it by the monthly it did.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: But the way we're doing it this year, where we're having one grand prize winner, if you miss a week, you're out pretty much for the uh contention.
4:45
SPEAKER_00: So you got to make your picks every week.
4:47
SPEAKER_00: And uh whoever's the last man stand and get some coffee if they'll respond to us.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: Well, speaking of the coffee, Johnny, um you know, we do this, like we said, to raise money for cystic fibrosis.
4:58
SPEAKER_01: And the way we raise money is is through selling coffee.
5:01
SPEAKER_01: So if you can go to our website, johnnypacker.net, we sell fresh roasted coffee.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: It's actually roasted at high point roasters in New Albany, Mississippi.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: They have all sorts of varieties of coffees.
5:13
SPEAKER_01: And if there's a coffee that you prefer, there's a pretty good chance it's gonna be on there.
5:17
SPEAKER_01: You can get whole bean, you can get it ground, and you can get it however you want it.
5:22
SPEAKER_01: Um, you can come in 12 ounce, one pound, five pound, and you can put it on a subscription.
5:28
SPEAKER_01: It's just a great deal.
5:29
SPEAKER_01: It's great coffee, it's good stuff.
5:31
SPEAKER_01: I drink it every day, and um, you know, your support is a great cause by going on there and ordering it.
5:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and uh BW, we were just talking about before we got on.
5:40
SPEAKER_00: We got an email today from the uh the Memphis, uh uh West Memphis, Tennessee chapter of the Siska Fibrosa Foundation.
5:49
SPEAKER_00: We uh we both went up there last year to their event called Uncork the Cure, and we were able to donate some money uh from our uh coffee sales last year.
5:58
SPEAKER_00: Uh we will not be in attendance this year at the event because we both have something going on that date of the event.
6:04
SPEAKER_00: But we'd love for y'all to uh to to buy some coffee so we can give them some money because they work really hard on putting this event on.
6:11
SPEAKER_00: And um our goal in fundraising is to help these 10% that I talk about all the time that don't have a miracle drug.
6:18
SPEAKER_00: They're the ones that are dying with CF right now.
6:20
SPEAKER_00: And CF Foundation is not going to stop uh fundraising until they find a uh effective treatment for them.
6:27
SPEAKER_00: So they're they're kind of the last uh last man standing with CF that don't have anything, and they're kind of left out.
6:33
SPEAKER_00: And I was in that boat before I got tricapta when other people had a drug, and it's very frustrating, very hard, and uh real devastating, actually.
6:41
SPEAKER_00: So um people are still people people think CF uh oh well they got tricapta and CF is cured.
6:47
SPEAKER_00: It's not the case at all by any means.
6:49
SPEAKER_00: Now we're nowhere even close.
6:51
SPEAKER_00: Um, I still get sick, uh, people with CF still get sick, but the people that don't have a miracle drug and they get sick, they're the ones that are dying.
6:59
SPEAKER_00: And uh every little bit helps.
7:01
SPEAKER_00: That's uh what grassroots fundraising is.
7:03
SPEAKER_00: They take pennies, nickels, dollars, everything adds up because if you don't have the money, then you cannot uh develop new drugs.
7:11
SPEAKER_00: It takes uh money to go into research.
7:13
SPEAKER_00: So simply buying a bag of coffee from johnnypacker.net, we say this all the time, but we mean it with all our hearts, is you're making a difference in the life of a patient with CF because uh you're you're fighting a battle for them by helping raise money when they're fighting every breath they take to live.
7:29
SPEAKER_00: So um thank y'all so much.
7:30
SPEAKER_00: Johnnypacker.net can't stress enough.
7:32
SPEAKER_00: Tell your family, friends, coworkers, anyone you know, to just please go in there and buy buy a bag and uh and then hopefully we'll have some money to donate this year to the to the CF event.
7:42
SPEAKER_00: But uh thank y'all for joining in and helping us uh uh do that so we can put on this podcast and talk about stuff that we enjoy and uh and have fun with college football, uh like with the Pickums and everything.
7:54
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
7:55
SPEAKER_01: And y'all stay tuned for Peter Burns.
7:57
SPEAKER_01: But my parting words are go to johnnypacker.net, buy some coffee, join the pick'em, and leave us your email address and respond to your emails when we email you.

8:30
SPEAKER_00: You know, we wait all year for college football and it flies by so fast, and we're we're here, we've made it.
8:36
SPEAKER_00: Feel like we've we finally made it.
8:37
SPEAKER_00: So uh big big weekend upon us, but uh to uh to talk a little bit about SEC football mainly and uh what his thoughts are on the on the conference this year and all that sort of stuff.
8:47
SPEAKER_00: We're we're bringing back our our friend of the show we had on uh before uh in the past and we got him back on again.
8:53
SPEAKER_00: So Peter Burns, welcome back to Johnny's World.
8:56
SPEAKER_03: So, boys, it's um we're on mile 26 of the 26.2 marathon, man.
9:01
SPEAKER_03: We've we finally get there.
9:02
SPEAKER_03: I'm I'm running out of gas, man.
9:04
SPEAKER_03: I uh it's you know, I I I love and I hate August because we finally get people in camp, you know, the guys are getting locked in, you're getting practice reports, but I also hate it simply for the fact that we're so close and this month seems to just drag on.
9:20
SPEAKER_03: So the fact that, you know, now we're just you know, we're finally here uh upon us for week one, it's gonna be a blast of this upcoming season.
9:27
SPEAKER_03: It's probably as wide open as college football has been in a long, long time.
9:32
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
9:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it definitely is.
9:35
SPEAKER_01: I was I was thinking the same thing today.
9:37
SPEAKER_01: Just it it's it's hard to know who to pick.
9:39
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's guess we'll see.
9:42
SPEAKER_03: So well, and then that's and guys, I'll I'll I'll I'll say that.
9:46
SPEAKER_03: Y'all aren't the only people that think that.
9:48
SPEAKER_03: I I'm I'm the same way.
9:50
SPEAKER_03: Hell, I talked to coaches and they feel the same way with the amount of transfers that we've seen, coach movement, coordinator movement, you know, um, you know, NIL, everything that's changed.
10:02
SPEAKER_03: There is so much uncertainty in college football that a lot of coaches are waiting to figure out what they have.
10:09
SPEAKER_03: You know, it felt like I don't know, probably I'd say pre-2020, you could pretty much tell who were the could be the contenders, what each team was gonna have coming back, what their strengths and their weaknesses are.
10:23
SPEAKER_03: Throw that out now.
10:25
SPEAKER_03: I mean, you know, I've probably never felt more naked going into a season because, you know, none of the coaches wanted to say anything about spring football.
10:32
SPEAKER_03: They don't want even want to put out depth charts, they don't want to put out their spring game.
10:36
SPEAKER_03: They're very, they're very kind of hush-hush because they don't want guys getting upset and transferring out or giving out too much information.
10:42
SPEAKER_03: So it's really not until week one and probably hell, week three or four that we kind of really know what these teams are.
10:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 100%.
10:50
SPEAKER_01: And we may as well just bring in Mississippi State to this.
10:53
SPEAKER_01: I mean, we I have no clue what to expect from our team this year.
10:56
SPEAKER_01: It's uh we play a Southern Miss this week, and historically we should beat them by 30 or 40 points, but who knows?
11:03
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I I don't know what Southern has.
11:05
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what we have.
11:05
SPEAKER_01: Um, I'm hoping, you know, we have our victory like we expect, but uh we'll see.
11:11
SPEAKER_03: Well, the deep defense got to be better, and I don't know how it couldn't be, but I mean you listen, uh State's was put in such a weird spot really over the last probably six, seven years.
11:21
SPEAKER_03: I mean, from the hiring of Leech to building over that roster, and then unfortunately the passing of Leach to go to Zach, and then all of a sudden you get Levy in.
11:30
SPEAKER_03: There's been so much change that you know, this almost feels like really kind of a year zero slash one for Jeff Levy.
11:38
SPEAKER_03: And the fact of all right, now it's gonna take one or two years to be like this is what we can do.
11:43
SPEAKER_03: And it didn't help with Shaping going down last year, right?
11:47
SPEAKER_03: Like, you know, I mean, he looked good early, but that was what, two games?
11:52
SPEAKER_03: And so, you know, I it it was kind of unfair to state of saying, all right, we're gonna be an offensive-minded team, and then you lose your starting quarterback.
12:01
SPEAKER_03: So um happy that he's back.
12:03
SPEAKER_03: And I I I expect the offense to be good.
12:06
SPEAKER_03: It's just a matter of the defense can't be as atrocious as it was last year.
12:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the the the uh running back room.
12:12
SPEAKER_00: I mean, running back room, we got this guy named uh Fluff Bothwell, I believe his name is supposed to be a stud.
12:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, getting Devon Booth back.
12:20
SPEAKER_00: That was big time, you know, getting him back.
12:21
SPEAKER_00: He he really came on towards the end of the season last year.
12:24
SPEAKER_00: And then, like you said, shaping returning.
12:26
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you got the pieces there offensive-wise, but like you just said, the the defense is the question.
12:31
SPEAKER_00: So it'll be interesting to see.
12:33
SPEAKER_00: But you know, the the schedule, you know, we were talking about this on our podcast last week.
12:37
SPEAKER_00: Uh we kind of broke down the schedule.
12:39
SPEAKER_00: And, you know, I me personally, I think that Arizona State game is the biggest game of the season.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: And it's game two.
12:46
SPEAKER_00: And the reason why is because you you base what happens on that game, and then you got two two games you should you should easily win.
12:53
SPEAKER_00: If you beat Arizona State, you're 4-0 when Tennessee comes into town.
12:56
SPEAKER_00: That's huge.
12:57
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
12:57
SPEAKER_00: But then if you lose to Arizona State, you know, I don't know what'll happen.
13:01
SPEAKER_00: But uh, it's it's amazing how fast things can turn right off right at the beginning of the season.
13:06
SPEAKER_03: So um and go back and look at go back and look at South Carolina last year.
13:10
SPEAKER_03: You know, South Carolina was coming off the heels of not making a bowl game.
13:14
SPEAKER_03: Beamer was pissed.
13:15
SPEAKER_03: They're like, man, is he gonna be run out of town in Columbia?
13:18
SPEAKER_03: And then Lenore Sellers gets healthy.
13:21
SPEAKER_03: They could, they should have gone 10 and 2.
13:23
SPEAKER_03: They got kind of robbed of the LSU game, and all of a sudden you're like, okay, well, they they hit the portal well.
13:29
SPEAKER_03: They got the right guys, and and all of a sudden sky's the limit, and now they're ranked in the top 15 to start.
13:35
SPEAKER_03: So you can microwave success fairly quickly, but you have to have some type of foundation.
13:42
SPEAKER_00: You do.
13:42
SPEAKER_00: Well, well, you mentioned LSU.
13:44
SPEAKER_00: Uh, talk about your tigers, man.
13:46
SPEAKER_00: I I everybody's riding out on them this year, and I I think so too.
13:49
SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm in that I'm on that bandwagon.
13:50
SPEAKER_00: What do you what do you think on the tigers this year?
13:52
SPEAKER_03: It's the first time they've had a defense that has some teeth to it in a long time.
13:56
SPEAKER_03: I mean, probably maybe even close to a decade, that I think they have legitimately the dudes.
14:03
SPEAKER_03: Um, because it's been a while.
14:04
SPEAKER_03: I mean, you know, uh after 2019, and that defense was pretty good in 2019.
14:09
SPEAKER_03: It wasn't electric, um, but it was enough of a roadblock for a historic offense.
14:14
SPEAKER_03: But after that, 2020 was a mess, and then it just never kind of got it right.
14:19
SPEAKER_03: And Brian Kelly's tried to get that, but Brian Kelly said something interesting this week in his press here saying, you know, I didn't go all in on the transfer portal because there's so many great players I want to recruit to LSU that will say yes to LSU right off the bat.
14:33
SPEAKER_03: But he goes, I needed to focus on building those guys.
14:36
SPEAKER_03: So I think he knew that they were young and he didn't really know how to work the transfer portal.
14:41
SPEAKER_03: I think now when they lost that kid Bryce Underwood to Michigan, they had a lot more quote unquote NIL money.
14:50
SPEAKER_03: Um, and so they were able to go out there and actually get the depth that they needed.
14:54
SPEAKER_03: So that was that was monstrous.
14:56
SPEAKER_03: So listen, they're gonna play Clemson, who I think is a college football playoff team.
15:00
SPEAKER_03: I think they win the ACC.
15:02
SPEAKER_03: So it would not shock me if they lost that game.
15:06
SPEAKER_03: I I was upset in years prior because I thought they played sloppy and they lost to opponents they should have beat.
15:14
SPEAKER_03: This is the first year where I'm like, if you lose 24-21, it's not the end of the world.
15:20
SPEAKER_03: You just lose a really good opportunity to beat a quality opponent that will help your resume week one.
15:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
15:30
SPEAKER_00: Well, well, talk about talk about Arch Manning, the hype.
15:33
SPEAKER_00: Do you think he lives up to the hype this year?
15:35
SPEAKER_00: Texas obviously is a favorite to to to win it all.
15:38
SPEAKER_00: What are your thoughts on long orange?
15:40
SPEAKER_03: There's no way that Arch Manning lives up to the hype.
15:42
SPEAKER_03: And and that's and and I and I'm telling you, Arch Manning could win the Heisman, and people be like, Well, yeah, but was he that good, right?
15:49
SPEAKER_03: So, I mean, the hype is is very similar to when I covered Tim Tebow with the when when he was over at the Denver Broncos, that it was just it just almost wasn't fair to the player himself.
16:02
SPEAKER_03: And what I like about Arch is that I think he's gone about this the right way, guys.
16:07
SPEAKER_03: He didn't try to be a starter year one.
16:10
SPEAKER_03: He went to Sark's offense and said, Hey, I'll red shirt, I'll play a little bit my second year, and by the third year, kind of like how Eli and Peyton did a little bit more, I'll take my time and develop, and then let's have some success.
16:22
SPEAKER_03: And so, and even over at SEC Media Days, when we asked him, he goes, you know, he kind of tampered it down, being like, guys, I've I've played basically two games.
16:31
SPEAKER_03: Like, I don't know, you know, I'm excited to find out what I have.
16:34
SPEAKER_03: So I think he's humble, he's doing the right things, he's in a great offense, he's got a lot of playmakers, but again, it ain't gonna be easy for him because they're straight, you know, they're going right up to the horseshoe and and facing the defending champs.
16:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
16:49
SPEAKER_01: Well, we were talking last night with a buddy of mine.
16:51
SPEAKER_01: We were saying, you know, the Saints could be pretty bad this year, so they could be in position to draft Arch Manning one of the you know, coming up here.
16:58
SPEAKER_01: So maybe he lives up to the hype, maybe he's gonna be the Saints savior too.
17:01
SPEAKER_01: So there's hope for that.
17:03
SPEAKER_03: We saw Archie back in the day of the Aints.
17:05
SPEAKER_03: So stranger things have happened for sure.
17:07
SPEAKER_01: So that's right.
17:09
SPEAKER_00: Well, well, what about uh all right?
17:11
SPEAKER_00: Um, obviously Georgia's gonna be in the mix, they're always in the mix.
17:15
SPEAKER_00: Um, and and Alabama, I want to get your take on that.
17:17
SPEAKER_00: You know, it's it feels like once Saban was gone, it's it's totally different.
17:22
SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, everybody that was the one.
17:24
SPEAKER_00: Everyone was like, Bama, bam.
17:26
SPEAKER_00: Now people aren't really talking about Bama as it were.
17:28
SPEAKER_00: What are your thoughts on that?
17:29
SPEAKER_00: Will Bama be good back or or have we seen the end of the dynasty of Alabama?
17:34
SPEAKER_03: I would be, I mean, I would be shocked.
17:38
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think the floor for this roster in Kaylin DeBoer, especially now that he's got Ryan Grubb as offensive coordinator, I think the floor is nine and three.
17:45
SPEAKER_03: I don't I don't think that I can see an eight and four squad.
17:48
SPEAKER_03: Um, and and so for me, I look at it and it's like I think there could be a lot of 10 and 2 teams this year.
17:56
SPEAKER_03: You know, LSU could be one of them, Texas could be one of them.
17:59
SPEAKER_03: I mean, kind of like how we have the NFL.
18:01
SPEAKER_03: We need to start looking through college football through the prism of the NFL, where hey, the Chiefs could be really good and they're 12 and 5, right?
18:10
SPEAKER_03: You know, so you know, I I I think that they're still on the cream of the crop.
18:14
SPEAKER_03: Um, I just think talent-wise, they're just absolutely loaded right now.
18:20
SPEAKER_03: Now they're dealing with some injuries.
18:22
SPEAKER_03: I I can't believe I'm saying this.
18:24
SPEAKER_03: It's lucky they're playing a Florida State team that I don't think is very good uh off the jump.
18:29
SPEAKER_03: But um, and then they're gonna be facing a Wisconsin team here in a couple weeks that that isn't great either.
18:35
SPEAKER_03: But um, you know, I I I think uh and Kalen I trust, man.
18:40
SPEAKER_03: I think he's a hell of a coach, and I think I think that they'll be a college football playoff team as well.
18:47
SPEAKER_01: So you think um what are your what's your other prediction for college football playoff as far as SEC goes?
18:53
SPEAKER_03: I think LSU is a college football playoff team.
18:55
SPEAKER_03: I think Texas is is a college football team, Alabama, and and I hate to say Georgia, but and I don't hate to say it, it's just the fact of I'm like, I think there will be four teams in this conference that go.
19:07
SPEAKER_03: And so if I had to pick, I know it's kind of all chalk.
19:10
SPEAKER_03: I I I I just think South Carolina guys, I love Lenore Sellers, but I think they lose so much defensively that I don't know if they, you know, they're kind of in the same boat as Ole Miss.
19:20
SPEAKER_03: Is that defensively that you lose so many keys uh parts?
19:25
SPEAKER_03: I just have a hard time of believing that they could be as strong as they were last year.
19:31
SPEAKER_03: Um in a in a in a in a conference that got only better.
19:35
SPEAKER_03: So I I think they take a step back.
19:37
SPEAKER_03: I think Tennessee takes a step back.
19:39
SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, I I didn't think Nico Yamaliava was the greatest quarterback, but you know, I would have liked to see him back one more year with Josh Hypo, and they didn't get that.
19:50
SPEAKER_03: So um again, I just can't freaking wait.
19:54
SPEAKER_03: Then we got Diego Pavia and seeing how that's gonna work.
19:57
SPEAKER_03: E and M is a team that I think people are kind of sleeping on that could be pretty damn good too.
20:02
SPEAKER_03: So there's uh no rest for the week.
20:04
SPEAKER_03: Oklahoma is gonna be interesting, but John Mateer and Ben Arbuckle, his offensive coordinator coming over for Washington State.
20:10
SPEAKER_03: So, again, so many damn storylines.
20:12
SPEAKER_03: I'm just like, let's get ready for Saturday.
20:14
SPEAKER_03: Hurry up.
20:15
SPEAKER_00: Let me ask you this.
20:16
SPEAKER_00: Uh we didn't we hadn't talked about Auburn yet.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: I want to ask you about this.
20:19
SPEAKER_00: So, do you think I heard someone talking about this?
20:21
SPEAKER_00: Do you think they're claiming all these championships to get their mind off the season?
20:24
SPEAKER_00: I know the season might be rough and they're getting their mind off all these crazy championships.
20:28
SPEAKER_00: Uh, where what are your thoughts on the planes this year?
20:31
SPEAKER_03: Uh, you know, A about the championships, I don't care.
20:33
SPEAKER_03: If you want to claim them, claim Alabama's been claiming national championships.
20:36
SPEAKER_03: I mean, UCF claimed them.
20:38
SPEAKER_03: It it whatever.
20:39
SPEAKER_03: It is what it is.
20:40
SPEAKER_03: Um, I legitimately, when you talk about being naked and understand not understanding what a team is, I don't think there's a better, a higher ceiling and a lower floor discrepancy between a team in a team, maybe in college football, than Auburn.
20:56
SPEAKER_03: Because you know, Jackson Arnold could all of a sudden finally have healthy wide receivers, and you know, Singleton is is gonna be great.
21:04
SPEAKER_03: The Georgia Tech transfer, I mean, Cam Coleman's a beast.
21:07
SPEAKER_03: And I could see them going 9-3, 10-2.
21:11
SPEAKER_03: I could also see them going against Dave Aranda's kind of weird defenses in in week one, and and um, you know, Sawyer Robertson's a great quarterback over for Baylor.
21:20
SPEAKER_03: They're going up to Waco on Friday night.
21:22
SPEAKER_03: I could see him losing that game and the wheels fall off.
21:24
SPEAKER_03: So that's probably one of the probably maybe the most interesting storyline um that's not quote unquote college football playoff related, are are the Auburn Tigers.
21:34
SPEAKER_00: Right.
21:35
SPEAKER_00: Well, well, let me ask you this too.
21:37
SPEAKER_00: Uh uh BW and I were talking last week.
21:40
SPEAKER_00: We're I predicted state to to go on the road and finally knock off uh an SEC team at Arkansas this year.
21:46
SPEAKER_00: I I'm not big on the Razorbacks.
21:47
SPEAKER_00: Uh I think the uh Colbeers are getting warm in Fayetteville, the jukebox uh turn it up.
21:53
SPEAKER_00: What what are your thoughts?
21:54
SPEAKER_00: You think Sam Pittman survives the year or what?
21:57
SPEAKER_03: I I mean I think it is a kind of a Last ditch effort for Pittman, but I've seen coaches in this conference and throughout college football, and I can tell when they're it's done.
22:10
SPEAKER_03: Like you could just see it in their eyes.
22:12
SPEAKER_03: They don't have that passion.
22:14
SPEAKER_03: Nobody carries themselves.
22:15
SPEAKER_03: I haven't seen that in Fayetteville.
22:17
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I think Pittman is as energetic as he's ever been.
22:21
SPEAKER_03: And you still got Bobby Petrino as their offensive coordinator.
22:24
SPEAKER_03: And, you know, Talon Green's a fantastic kid.
22:28
SPEAKER_03: Um, I didn't know how tall he was, too, until I met him at Media Days.
22:32
SPEAKER_03: Like he plays big, but I mean the guy's 6'6.
22:34
SPEAKER_03: He could play for Coach Cowell's basketball squad there at Arkansas.
22:37
SPEAKER_03: Um, my issue with Arkansas this year, though, is that you know, you lost, I think, the the top eight pass catchers.
22:44
SPEAKER_03: Like, that's tough, man.
22:46
SPEAKER_03: If you don't, if you don't have some of those dudes, it's it's difficult.
22:51
SPEAKER_03: So uh I could see a six and six team, you know, coming out of Arkansas, and I can see State being six and six, seven and five, five and seven, something along those lines this year.
23:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, BW, he picked State uh to have six wins.
23:07
SPEAKER_00: I was like, man, you're stretching it.
23:09
SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
23:09
SPEAKER_00: But like you said, the crazier things can happen.
23:12
SPEAKER_00: And and it could uh uh what about what about the gators?
23:14
SPEAKER_00: DJ Lagway.
23:15
SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of hype on him.
23:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, what do you I do think the Gators can bounce back and have a better year?
23:19
SPEAKER_00: What are your thoughts on that?
23:20
SPEAKER_03: I mean, they got a brutal schedule again.
23:22
SPEAKER_03: Um, and it really comes down to Lagway's health.
23:24
SPEAKER_03: I mean, my my concern with Lagway was was the fact that he didn't get a chance to practice all spring because he was banged up, didn't take a bunch of reps in fall practice with a different injury.
23:37
SPEAKER_03: And I mean, luckily they're playing the Long Island Sharks, which I didn't even know was uh a university.
23:42
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I thought it was a made-up deal um in week one, but I mean he's gotta stay healthy.
23:49
SPEAKER_03: And and I'll be kind of curious to see how Billy Napier and how they're gonna use DJ Lagway right from the jump.
23:57
SPEAKER_03: And are they gonna allow him to get out of the pocket?
23:59
SPEAKER_03: Are they gonna allow him to move around?
24:01
SPEAKER_03: Are they gonna kind of be really, really careful with them?
24:03
SPEAKER_03: So I think that's one of the the storylines I'll see.
24:05
SPEAKER_03: Remember, LSU in Florida, they face off in Baton Rouge in week three.
24:09
SPEAKER_03: So it's it's feet to the fire early.
24:12
SPEAKER_03: So I I I can't wait for that matchup.
24:13
SPEAKER_03: I'll be down in Baton Rouge Ford and I'm already counting down.
24:16
SPEAKER_03: In fact, literally before this podcast, I was on my phone on the American app, getting ready to book the uh book the flight.
24:21
SPEAKER_00: So nice.
24:22
SPEAKER_00: Well, the last one I want to ask you about, uh, since we are Mississippi Based podcast and we talk state all the time, hit on hit on the rivals, hit on the school up north, oh miss, uh, Lane Kiffin, you know, last year was such a letdown.
24:33
SPEAKER_00: They they built so much into that roster, playoff or bust, and then they lose the heartbreaker to Kentucky.
24:39
SPEAKER_00: Do they do they bounce back this year?
24:41
SPEAKER_00: Uh or what are your thoughts on the Rebels?
24:43
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, uh like again, we talked about it, kind of like with South Carolina and even Tennessee defensively, they've lose so much.
24:49
SPEAKER_03: But, you know, now that you got Pete Golden there and they he just signed a new contract, so he'll be there as defensive coordinator.
24:55
SPEAKER_03: I think the fact that Lane doesn't appear to be trying to move and take another other jobs that you know he's always rumored.
25:03
SPEAKER_03: I think that he's kind of put some roots down means that people, you know, that the the floor is a lot higher than it probably is.
25:09
SPEAKER_03: Most most years had Omis lost that, you'd be like, all right, this is a five and seven team.
25:14
SPEAKER_03: They just lost everything.
25:15
SPEAKER_03: I don't know if that's going to be the case because a lot of people want to go to Oxford, a lot of people want to play for Pete and Lane right now.
25:21
SPEAKER_03: I love this Austin Simmons kid.
25:23
SPEAKER_03: I mean, he's 19 going on 39.
25:26
SPEAKER_03: He is, I mean, uh, he's a young kid, but he's smooth.
25:31
SPEAKER_03: I think he reminds me of Tua a little bit to a certain extent.
25:35
SPEAKER_03: Uh Lane has even said that as well.
25:37
SPEAKER_03: And so I think there'll be some learning.
25:40
SPEAKER_03: I think that there'll be one of those teams where, like, dude, that's a dangerous squad, but overall, they end up being like eight and four this year, which again, eight and four, you put this old miss team in the ACC, and I think they give hell to everybody else.
25:54
SPEAKER_03: But the problem is you're playing in the toughest conference of college football in the SEC.
25:58
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
25:59
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
25:59
SPEAKER_00: Well, well, Peter, I know you got to run, but one thing before we go, uh, I know it's August right now, uh, and December's a long time away.
26:07
SPEAKER_00: Who's your picks to win the SEC?
26:09
SPEAKER_00: Who makes it the championship game?
26:10
SPEAKER_00: Who wins the conference?
26:11
SPEAKER_03: I think it's I think it's Texas and Alabama, and then flip a damn coin.
26:16
SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah, Texas.
26:17
SPEAKER_03: Sure.
26:17
SPEAKER_03: Ask me tomorrow, I'll say Alabama.
26:19
SPEAKER_03: I again I I don't think that there is necessarily a wrong answer in college football this year.
26:26
SPEAKER_03: You know, it's like, hey, who's gonna win the NFC?
26:27
SPEAKER_03: I got some ideas.
26:28
SPEAKER_03: I'm who's gonna win the FC?
26:30
SPEAKER_03: I got some ideas, but it really comes down to getting some lucky bounces um and who stays healthy right now.
26:37
SPEAKER_03: So I mean it's and but that that's why I think people are complaining about college football.
26:42
SPEAKER_03: And I'd argue that college football has maybe never been healthier, to be honest with you, because more teams have a chance, the players are getting paid, people are still tuning in, we're still watching it, we're still doing podcasts about it.
26:53
SPEAKER_03: So the coaches are complaining, you know, but then again, they also make you know, they have two combos in their annual salary.
26:59
SPEAKER_03: We we probably don't.
27:00
SPEAKER_03: So I don't feel too I don't feel too bad for those guys.
27:03
SPEAKER_02: Right.
27:04
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
27:05
SPEAKER_01: Well, we sure appreciate it, Peter.
27:07
SPEAKER_01: Enjoy the season.
27:08
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, thanks so much, Peter.
27:10
SPEAKER_03: Can't wait.
27:10
SPEAKER_03: Y'all watch us on the SEC network.
27:11
SPEAKER_03: We'll talk to y'all soon.
27:14
SPEAKER_03: Bye bye.
27:18
SPEAKER_01: All right, Johnny.
27:19
SPEAKER_01: That was uh I like that.
27:20
SPEAKER_01: He had some good thoughts, really uh kind of thinking around the same same thing I was thinking.
27:25
SPEAKER_01: It's funny you were asking him all the exact same questions I was gonna ask him, so it's not like we were prepared for this or anything.
27:31
SPEAKER_00: So uh yeah, Peter does uh does an outstanding job.
27:34
SPEAKER_00: Always look forward to watching him on SEC network.
27:36
SPEAKER_00: He knows his stuff.
27:37
SPEAKER_00: And uh he's an awesome dude.
27:39
SPEAKER_00: Happy that he joined us back on.
27:41
SPEAKER_00: I remember when we had him on a couple years ago, uh, he talked about the uh the he was at the LSU.
27:47
SPEAKER_00: Do you remember this BW?
27:48
SPEAKER_00: He was at the LSU Bama game when LSU knocked off Bama at Tiger Stadium, and he had he had himself quite a time that next morning he got a phone call from uh Greg Sake, and he was so scared that he did something wrong or anything, but he was just Sankey was congratulating him about uh about that.
28:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh so yeah, every time I uh I think of uh the Tigers knocking off Bama, I think of Peter.
28:08
SPEAKER_00: He's a great guy.
28:09
SPEAKER_00: So happy that he was able to join us again, and and uh like I said, he knows his stuff.
28:13
SPEAKER_00: So um, but yeah, a lot of the stuff we hit on, you know, when we talked last week, he we kind of went through our predictions uh on state season, but also who we thought.
28:22
SPEAKER_00: And it's kind of like he said, an open, open, uh, open race, and which I kind of like that, you know.
28:27
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the Bama is not like, you know, every year, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, and now it's kind of like, you know, it's kind of yeah, no, no clear cut favorite anymore.
28:36
SPEAKER_00: So which is you know, it's funny.
28:38
SPEAKER_01: The last thing he said was that you know the coaches don't like it and you know, everything about college football, but you know, it's frustrating at the same time as it is entertaining.
28:48
SPEAKER_01: It's it's definitely more entertaining than it has been because the playoffs are bigger, uh it's it's just more wide open, but it feels less wide open for people like us.
28:57
SPEAKER_01: Right.
28:58
SPEAKER_01: People that are in bad shape, it's like it's like you're stuck.
29:02
SPEAKER_01: Uh and the people that have the money and have the the good teams and all that kind of stuff, the momentum is there.
29:07
SPEAKER_01: So it's almost like we're gonna have to build our own momentum.
29:10
SPEAKER_01: Levy's gonna have to like pull us up by the bootstraps out of this cellar, yeah, or he's gone and we're gonna have to, you know, make a splash higher to get out of the cellar, or you just you're stuck, you know.
29:21
SPEAKER_00: So at this point, at this point, I would say you're stuck because nobody's gonna want to come, you know.
29:25
SPEAKER_00: That's the issue.
29:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh until you actually can prove something with the players and NIL and all that, you're not gonna get anybody good.
29:32
SPEAKER_00: So he's just like you said, he's just gonna have to build it up.
29:35
SPEAKER_00: And if he's the man that can do it, more power to him, uh give him a chance to do it.
29:40
SPEAKER_00: But then, I mean, like I said, if he goes winless this year, I mean the SEC, that's that's that's gonna be ugly.
29:45
SPEAKER_00: So uh pressure's on for him for sure.
29:47
SPEAKER_00: But I do feel like like teams like State and Bandy, Kentucky, the kind of the bottom dwellers in the SEC.
29:54
SPEAKER_00: Um it's more like those teams are trying just playing for a ball game.
29:59
SPEAKER_00: And then you got the upper echelon trying to make the playoffs.
30:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, eventually you want to get to that point where you're in that upper echelon where you uh want you trying to make the playoffs.
30:08
SPEAKER_00: Right now, your goal should be to try to get six wins.
30:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
30:10
SPEAKER_01: And that's you know, you hate to say this about the rebels, but like what he said, I mean, yeah, the floor probably for them, you know, we expect them to have a down year.
30:19
SPEAKER_01: They're probably eight and four still, which I would take a eight eight and four all day long.
30:23
SPEAKER_01: But I mean, now with him, a good year, they're 10 and 2.
30:27
SPEAKER_01: And so like it's it's it's flipped.
30:31
SPEAKER_01: I hate that.
30:32
SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, I mean, a good year for us would be six wins, and and and a good year for them is 10.
30:38
SPEAKER_00: So uh it's crazy how all this happened.
30:40
SPEAKER_00: Uh you know, I feel like when when Leach was I feel like 22, 20, 22 season, we were even with them.
30:47
SPEAKER_00: I felt like we were neck and neck with them and we were on the way up, nine wins, you know.
30:51
SPEAKER_00: Um just unfortunate scenario.
30:53
SPEAKER_00: And I I mean we'll never get over that.
30:55
SPEAKER_00: I don't think it's gonna take decades to get get over it, probably, if we're ever able to, and especially it's just harder and harder with NIL and all these big bigger bigger teams and everything.
31:06
SPEAKER_00: But uh, you got to take small steps, and uh small steps is getting six wins and getting the ball game and then go from there.
31:13
SPEAKER_01: And the first step is to beat Southern Mists this weekend, Johnny.
31:17
SPEAKER_00: One at a time, don't overlook any opponents.
31:19
SPEAKER_00: Like we said last week, do not look over overlook northern Illinois.
31:22
SPEAKER_00: They will come up and beat you just like they did Notre Dame last year.
31:25
SPEAKER_00: And uh that that's uh that's a big thing because that Tennessee game, especially depending on the result of Arizona State.
31:32
SPEAKER_00: If you knock off Arizona State, everybody's looking forward to that Tennessee game.
31:35
SPEAKER_00: And and I can see Northern Illinois just licking their chops, knowing that they're that state could be overlooking them.
31:42
SPEAKER_00: So uh the key is focused game by game, which I know they do, but um I still think it, man.
31:48
SPEAKER_00: I'll say it.
31:49
SPEAKER_00: Arizona State, toughest game on the schedule.
31:51
SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's the biggest game on the schedule for Mississippi State.
31:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the rides on that game in week two, hard to believe.
31:56
SPEAKER_00: But you gotta get past other missing, week one.
31:58
SPEAKER_00: So uh we'll see.
32:00
SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be hot.
32:01
SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to the game.
32:02
SPEAKER_00: I don't know anybody going, but uh 11 a.m.
32:04
SPEAKER_00: kickoff down there.
32:06
SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be hot.
32:07
SPEAKER_01: Do you have any predictions?
32:08
SPEAKER_01: What do you think happens?
32:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I picked the score to be 42-24.
32:12
SPEAKER_00: I think state wins.
32:13
SPEAKER_00: I think the offense can show out and uh and defense will be an issue, but uh I think that we have more power uh and and to take the care of it.
32:22
SPEAKER_00: What what's your score prediction?
32:24
SPEAKER_01: I think 38-21.
32:26
SPEAKER_01: Um yeah.
32:27
SPEAKER_01: Now, how we get there is what I'm really curious about.
32:30
SPEAKER_01: Um is it did that is it close in the first half and then we pull away?
32:36
SPEAKER_01: Or are we are we do we pull away from the beginning and then the last point they score is just a garbage touchdown?
32:44
SPEAKER_01: Feel much better about that second one than the first one.
32:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I do think it might it might start off close for a little bit, but I just think States uh um has the better players and and and I think they just pull away.
32:56
SPEAKER_00: Um I do think that I do think it might be close at first, and people start panicking, you know how it always is.
33:02
SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's gonna be terrible.
33:04
SPEAKER_00: And then I think we run away with it.
33:05
SPEAKER_01: That's just my yep, hopefully so, Johnny.
33:09
SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, I grew up going to Southern Miss games.
33:13
SPEAKER_01: Um, my dad went to Southern Miss.
33:15
SPEAKER_01: He he's from Hattiesburg.
33:16
SPEAKER_01: My mom grew up in Hattiesburg and used to go down there a lot, spend a lot of time down there uh back in the uh Jeff Bauer era.
33:25
SPEAKER_01: Those were some fun games.
33:26
SPEAKER_01: I mean, they were it it was, you know, I was younger, so it's hard to know, but it feels like you know, they had sold-out crowds and lots of hype, you know, people tailgating and having a good time, and um, it was a great environment.
33:39
SPEAKER_01: And you know, you just hate they just kind of got left behind.
33:42
SPEAKER_01: I mean, kind of like it's interesting, like these different tiers.
33:44
SPEAKER_01: I mean, they really just went down a tier um compared to where we were.
33:49
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, we're on the lower tier of the SEC.
33:51
SPEAKER_01: Well, they're you know, they're below that even.
33:54
SPEAKER_01: And uh felt like 30 years ago and even even longer than that when they had Brett Favre and all that, it was just a different deal, but not not the same environment that it was.
34:04
SPEAKER_00: I think I still think Southern Miss his downfall was uh letting Jeff Power leave, man.
34:08
SPEAKER_00: I mean, that guy was 100%.
34:10
SPEAKER_00: He was demand there, he was winning every year.
34:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
34:13
SPEAKER_00: I don't understand.
34:14
SPEAKER_00: I still to this day I don't understand what happened there, but I mean he he he was awesome, and then just look what happened after he left.
34:20
SPEAKER_01: I mean, yeah, they had uh who's the guy that went to North Carolina?
34:24
SPEAKER_01: Larry Fedor.
34:25
SPEAKER_01: He had his he had it going, uh, but they couldn't keep him, you know.
34:28
SPEAKER_00: And couldn't and then they're rotating coaches, it seemed like all the time.
34:33
SPEAKER_00: And and then we had and they had uh they had the pride sons coach last uh sons coaches last year, by the boss.
34:42
SPEAKER_00: So that it was just kind of rotating coaches.
34:45
SPEAKER_00: And the guy they have now is actually uh a pretty good coach.
34:47
SPEAKER_00: He coached at Mississippi State, Charles Huff, uh coming from uh Marshall.
34:51
SPEAKER_00: I do think he brought a bunch of players with him.
34:53
SPEAKER_00: So I mean, well, Southern Miss's roster, I think, will be pretty much like Marshall's roster last year.
34:57
SPEAKER_00: I think Marshall was decent.
34:58
SPEAKER_00: So um they do have some players.
35:00
SPEAKER_00: So uh but yeah, I I I go back to that whole thing with Jeff Power.
35:04
SPEAKER_00: I mean, they had it rolling back in the day.
35:06
SPEAKER_00: Um, and then it just kind of kind of went under.
35:09
SPEAKER_00: But uh, but man, they Southern Miss can they can hang with you.
35:12
SPEAKER_00: I mean, um don't don't count them out.
35:15
SPEAKER_00: Uh went down there to the game was the state game.
35:18
SPEAKER_00: It was 10 years ago, 2015.
35:19

35:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was pretty late night at The Rock.
35:26
SPEAKER_00: But uh yeah, it should be uh should be an interesting game.
35:30
SPEAKER_00: Um just happy uh college football is back.
35:32
SPEAKER_00: It snakes is at the same time as Texas Ohio State, so I know that'll be tough having to switch back and forth.
35:37
SPEAKER_00: But uh I think the game I'm most fired up about that uh coming up on Saturday is LSU Clemson.
35:43
SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be it's gonna be awesome.
35:45
SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, Death Valley versus who which one is the real Death Valley?
35:49
SPEAKER_00: LSU or Clemson, they both uh stadiums call Death Valley at nighttime at Clemson.
35:53
SPEAKER_00: Clemson's a um, like Peter uh mentioned, uh playoff possible playoff team.
35:58
SPEAKER_00: Uh Kate Klubnick, their quarterback is really good.
36:01
SPEAKER_00: And then you got all the hype on LSU this year.
36:03
SPEAKER_00: So uh it should live up to the hype and and the loser of that game look for them to be in the playoff.
36:08
SPEAKER_00: Uh so uh the winner of it is pretty much got up in the driver's seat.
