• 3:17
  Speaker 4: it over and over the last week, and I literally
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: forgot about it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I know you did. I know I like it. Hell,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised you got here today. Me too. I almost

• 3:41
  Speaker 5: you'll see what I'm uh I'll be able to reference.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, okay, I'm locking loaded, baby, Okay, I've already
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: got what I need.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Heck yeah, it's easy, peasy. Oh here it is. I mean,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: this is just easy. What a graphic? That's way? Is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: this all the games it's the game of the year,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: like they're notable games. And then it hasn't broken down
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: by week.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, I see what you did and chat. This is
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: pretty well done. It's not bad, Okay, all right, so
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I'll love you started with September twelfth instead of September fifth.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I don't acknowledge that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Well, September fifth, we have Louisville ol Miss. That's not
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: a game of the year, and Clemson LSU that is
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: a game of the year. And I think we've got
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: a couple other here games. Yeah that actually, but I mean, yes,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Old Miss is better, but I don't think it's a gimme.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I give them a sixty percent chance to win sixty forty,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: give Louisville a forty percent chance LSU Clemson. I go
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: l s U sixty and Clemson forty. I mean that
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: those could be again.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They could They may get away. I mean it may
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: get away from Louisville.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: In the second, may in the first, but it may
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: in the second. Now Clemson, it could get away from
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: them in the first or second half. So maybe that's why.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: But we do need to do September fifth too, Yes,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: so just why.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: But I like this. It looks good.

• 5:43
  Speaker 4: on X at Bow Bounds. I posted a bunch of
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Kentucky pictures on Facebook. I need to do it on
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: the out of Bounds show page.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I'll do that. I did it on my personal page.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, find us on X at Bow Bounds follow
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: us hang out with all that and the Key City,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Mississippi Queen, which is fabulous beer out of Vicksburg. Key
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: City coler line is six oh one seven zero seven
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: thirty seven point fifty.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: This is incredible.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I was talking about how I flew into the wrong
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: airport on Thursday, which wasn't a big deal. You know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: it was easily manageable. I flew into Lexington instead Louisville.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I eventually ended up in Elizabethtown, which is right by Bardstown.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: So it all worked out. This is funny as hell.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Josh on the Dancing Rabbit Golf tax Line. I flew
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: out to San Jose in twenty nineteen for work. Several
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: of us from across the country were flying out there
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: for meetings. One guy from Pennsylvania booked his flight to
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: San Jose Airport in Cabo, Mexico, instead of booking his
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: flight to San Jose, California. He didn't realize it until
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: they started handing out the papers for landing in another
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: their country when the flight was almost over. Now that's
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: a different deal. My Uber ride was only thirty minutes
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: longer because of flying into Lexington instead of Louisville. Uh,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: that's funny that, you know what I'd have done. Sorry,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I'm staying in Cabo for the weekend, right, what I mean? Right,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: just it happens. I'm going to get a cocktail and
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I'm heading to the pool fate you know. Uh, y'all
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: can just send me an email bullet point on the
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: conference that I doubt was that important.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: In all reality. That's what you do. You do. Not
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: leave Cabo. You can't. You can't leave Cob.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: I mean they're handing you an ice cold cocktail in
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: the lobby before you walk out to the pool or
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: the beach.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: A couple of vacation days and he called the balls
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: and like, hey man, I booked the wrong one.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I'm in Cabo.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, I believe in that. I think
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: that's funny.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It's incredible. Oh my love here, it'd be sold to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the balls.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: William on the day dansing Rabbit GoF text line. We
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: were talking about Drew Brees earlier going into the Hall
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: of Fame. He goes, bo, we named my oldest son,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Breeze after Drew Brees.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Who do that? He says, with an exclamation point. I
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: love that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: So your son's name is Breeze. That's cool.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: From Nick Bow.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: In two thousand and nine, Breeze was asked to throw
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: ten footballs at an official Olympic archery target from twenty yards.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Brees hit the bull's eye every time, four of the
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: throws hit the dead center of the target. In contrast,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: archers at the two thousand and eight Olympics hit the
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: bull's eye less than fifty percent.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Of the time. Damn yeah.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: I think you can make a strong argument that he's
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: the most accurate passer in the history of football.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: There's a very good shot.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: The windows that he was able to just every single Sunday,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: because it's all of them hit windows that are about
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: six by six, eight by eight inches, right, ten by
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: ten maybe, but depending on time and place and who
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: you're playing, you know, it's a small window. I think
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: you could you could make a strong argument he's the
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: most accurate passer in the history of the NFL.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: He is downfield for sure. Man.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: His short and intermediate passing game was incredible too, And
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: I think there's more traffic around the middle in that
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: intermediate passing game for the NFL. I mean, launching it
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: downfield is a skill, no question, but I think it's
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: something to be you know, weighed and considered Steve Robertson
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: at eight thirty.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Whoo, all right, maybe your fan base would rather lose.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: To Alabama or maybe not. According to Diego Pavia, we
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: are the Ida Bounds Show, ESPN one oh five nine
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: The Zone. I'm your host, Bo Bounds. I have straight

• 10:59
  Speaker 4: teas of the week. You've already done this graphic, which
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: is amazing to me. And so starting Labor Day you
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: may have to do Week zero, but definitely yeah, because
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: we've got North Carolina and whoever I mentioned over in Dublin, Ireland.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: We've got some Power four games in Week zero. Well,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: and then you've got UNLV in Myphis and Charles Huff
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: and Dan Mullen. I mean, we don't know where Dan
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Mullen's gonna end up if he wins again at UNLB. Now,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Dan's in a different position than Barry otom Barry Odom
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: had to take a He took the bag as Lougan
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Bill and I talked about several months ago. He decided,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: because you don't ever know you're out in UNLB, you
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: could end up five and seven and not. So he
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: got five million a year at Purdue. I don't blame him.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Probably not gonna win there. Nobody does except Jeff Brohm
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: who's now at Louisville, who old miss will play in
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Week one, everybody's tied together, but Dan Mullen and Charles
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Huck play on.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Late at night.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: I don't even know if it's a stake in Elijah
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Craig game at nine o'clock. It's almost like Terra Massoux
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: and whatever you want to pair with it. It's the
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: dessert game. But Memphis at UNLV and people have their
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: owl on Charles Huff because he won it Marshall, he
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: won it Southern Miss. Can he bottle it one more
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: time and get into a power for job. Charles Huff
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: he coached at Penn State under James Franklin, Mississippi State
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: under Joe Morehead, Alabama under Nick Saban, and then took
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: that to Marshall where he won a conference championship, and
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: then got out of there and went to Southern Miss
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: And now he's at Memphis. Charles Huff, Dan Mullen, Week zero,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Las Vegas. So there were you got to do your
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: straight funk Tis of the week probably for all of it.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Gotcha, Yeah, already got them. They're winners.

  Speaker 4: This is Max says Boa. T's is just a lap
• 13:06

• 13:08
  Speaker 4: move this I mean the problem here is a four
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: game parlay, right, I mean we could do not you know,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: I could come up with another name.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: We may hit one, but the teas is just two games.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: We're keeping him at six points. There's no point in
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: buying this and being able to move it at ten
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: and all that. Let's just do it. You either get
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: to go up or down six. Right, that's plenty.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Okay. You can't pick a winner there. You don't even
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: be picking them.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So the straight funk Teas of the
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Week for the first time in twenty twenty six.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Right, good, good, good good.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: I'm back from Kentucky and Bourbon Country. They're not talking
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: football like we are. Their Bourbon was one who was two.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: There was some horse racing. Now, there were some NFL
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: with all the bars and restaurants and lobbies and all
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: that distilleries and man caves we were in or whatever.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: And some of them have speakeasies now, by the way,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: which are real. Chicken Cock has a speakeasy that's incredible.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: If you go to Heaven Hill, Elijah Cragg, try to
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: try to schedule it around lunch, where you do your
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: tasting before or after lunch. Because the restaurant and bar
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: there is on the second floor of the Heaven Hill
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Elijah Cragg Welcome Center, and it overlooks their beautiful distillery
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: and all the rick houses, and the food is really
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: good and their bartenders this makes sense.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've got some.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Really good craft cocktail bartenders in the metro area. Those
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: ladies at the bar at Heaven Hill, at that bar
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: and restaurant that they have on site, they are in
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: credible and the food there's really good, and it's cool.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: It's all windows overlooking the beautiful Kentucky landscape. It's really nice,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: so I highly recommend, and it's good food. A lot
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: of times some of those bar and grills are hit
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: miss and they've done a fantastic that's some of the
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: best onion rings I've ever had in my life. And
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: the appetizers were great and so on. We'll keep you
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: updated on the Elijah Craig Barrel Picks, Hitting Taste, Italian
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Kitchen and Heritage Chop House. And then of course they
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: also got a Heaven and Hill Heaven Hill bottled in
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Bond Pick, and then they got a bunch of others
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: from other distilleries. So we'll keep you updated on all that,
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: and I think the Elijah Craig barrel pick for Briarwood
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Wine and Spirits and Nathan McCarty is hitting this week
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: or next, so that's right in time for football. As
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: soon as we know that the Elijah Craig barrel pick
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: hits Briarwood Wine and Spirits, yes, we're gonna let It's
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: not gonna last long, so we will.
• 16:04

• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I think it's a fantastic barrel pick that we did
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: a while back, and when it hits, it's gonna be
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: a bunch of fun. You want to drop the breeze,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: all right? Drew Brees going into the Pro Football Hall
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: of Fame. I know we dropped this last week, but
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: I love it. This is Brees talking about how everything
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: played out on why it wasn't the Miami Dolphins and
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: it was the New Orleans Saints and it changed everything
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: for the city of New.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: Orleans ended up in Miami Dogs. I mean yeah close.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: I mean on paper like that was that was an
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: obvious decision. It was Miami all the way. Miami had
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: Nick Saban. They had just come off a nine and
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: seven seas where they won like last seven in a row,
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: so they they kind of had it figured out. Defense
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: was lights out, Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor their offense. I
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: loved all their coaching staff. Mike Malarkey was the OC,
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: Jason Garrett quarterback coach. Hudson Help was there a line
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: coach who had then ur O line coach the year
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: before when we won the division. Love hud They were
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: running the same that we were running, like Miami Dolphins.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: I'm sitting there eating dinner on Wayne Heizinger's yacht. He's
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: there at dinner talking about, Hey, we're gonna go. We're
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: gonna go play golf in Scotland every every summer with Dan.

• 17:14
  Speaker 6: hop around no State income packs. I'm like, dude, this
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: is yeah a paper Miami here I come.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: And then on the flip side, you got New Orleans right.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Six months post Katrina, some unknown head coach named Sean Payton.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Right, is this guy right?
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: And ironically five years previous when I was being when
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: I was being like in the draft Tom conn in
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: my agent, I had probably fifteen teams that I thought
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: my drafting and he's like, we're going through that list
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: leading up to draft day, and he's like, man, you
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: got all these great possibilities. He's like, man, you know, honestly,
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: the only one I would really not want you to
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: go to is the New Orleans Saints like kind of
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: dysfunctional party.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Town, this and that.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: Like, so I had that ringing in my head as well. Right,
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: So again on paper, it's like this is so obvious,
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: and I'm not leaving anything to chance. I'm gonna go
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: and I'm gonna give each one like it's fair opportunity.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: And like the Miami trip was amazing, with the exception
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: of they put me through the ringer like six hours
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: of these medical testing because I was only too like
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: eight weeks postop on an eight month rehab, so I
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: was nowhere close. I mean my arm, you know, I'm
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: still kind of in a sling, you know, and I
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: can't do anything, and they're they do the you know,
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: the saline solution, the contrast MRI. So I'm like in
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: an MRI two for two hours, just aching, right, I
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: get out of that. They stick these big needles in
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: my shoulder to test nerve endings. They're they're they're they're
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: wanting to test everything. So I just I got this
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: feeling of like doubt, like they don't really and and
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: then their doctors were the ones who told Saban, we
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: think he's got a twenty five percent chance of ever
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: coming back and playing again. And I go to New
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: Orleans and it's like you are our guy, like Sean Payton,
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Mickey Limbs, you're our guy. Or building this offense around you.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: They did everything they could to kind of roll out
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: the red carpet despite all the circumstances. I mean, Noorleans
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: was still destroyed, right, like right, And the epic story
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: is Sean Payton, after this great visit there, gets lost
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: in the Lakeview neighborhood and we're driving through there and
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: houses are off of foundations, Chevy truck upside down, the
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: living room. All of a sudden, car stops, there's a
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: tugboat in the middle of the road, and I'm looking
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: at my wife like are you seeing what I'm seeing?
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: But it's also one of those moments like, man, this
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: is so much bigger than just football, right, Like we
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: be a part of one of them, you know, the
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: resurrection of one of America's greatest cities, Like this is
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: God's calling. In our life, and so that was the
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: determining fact.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: And the rest is history. Straight funk Man, kudos to
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Mickey Loomis. Are you kidding me? I mean they were
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: in total disarray and he's able to land Sean Payton
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: and Drew Brees. All right, we're going to start well.

  Speaker 4: Can you feel the excitement around Mississippi State football?
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Well, we have our first media opportunity today and I
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: think that will so to flames just a little bit.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: We'll have our one opportunity to speak back Garnett and
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: all the assistant coaches today, So it'll be a busy
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: day on campus, but also a busy day at jeans Page.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: But but yeah, I mean, yeah, people kind of starting
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: to get pumped a little bit about this, you know.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: And then you know, it's just like the month of
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: July is like the bed zone for us, Like we
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: have to really grind to go find content, and there's
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: only so many times you can write about, you know,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: five newcomers to watch that sort of stuff. But yeah,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I mean it's it's here now, you know. And so
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: we'll start practice here on Thursday and have an opportunity
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: to deserve some of that, and you know we'll go
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: from there.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, so is this is this the first
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: time access to Zach Garnett since he was named defensive coordinator.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah, it's interesting too. You know, I'm not
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: to be able to be critical anybody. I would have
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: made it available back in the spring, sure, just to
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: kind of get those initial questions out of the way, right.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's like, you know, a one's like coming
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: back because we're going to spend the bulk of that today.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: You know, you get this, you know it's coming because
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: it needs to happen. You know, it's like, no, why
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: did you come back? Why was this a right opportunity
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: when we could have handled that in the spring and
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: then then spend today's opportunity. That's kind of talking about,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: you know, the defense and the fall and things like that.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: So right, Okay, So.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: I had an ole miss media member on two weeks
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: ago asked this question for them, and that's actually a
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: hell of a debate on who their best player is
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: on the defense side of the football. So do you
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: go Isaac Smith or someone else? Kelly Jones? I mean,
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: you need somebody up front. Those guys are important, But
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: who is the most talented player on the defensive side
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: of the football.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Well, if you want to say talent. I would say
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Kelly Jones just because of the fact, you know, he's
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: projected to be a first rounder, and you know he's
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: a freaks of an athlete and had a great year
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: last year. But I think Isaac Smith is probably the
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: most important guy because of his leadership and his own ability.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: But I agree with you, you need somebody up front,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: you know. I think the guy that could probably be
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: the biggest difference maker to this team is sil Mary
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Williams transferring to guard to State, and you know, he
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: hasn't played a ton of snaps, but he's a guy
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: that was with Arnette last year at Florida State. They
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: know each other, he understands what's expected of them, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: so I think he's a guy that's probably a little
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: bit of a dark course there.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: It is, uh, Isaac Smith.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Could he play?
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: I know he's not the same player, but Zach likes
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Arnett likes to move people around, and I like that,
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: and guys are athletic and twitchy and kind of like
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Perkins and old men. You know, you can you can
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: play him at all three levels. Do you think he'll
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: do that with Isaac Smith stee.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's some formats as will. I think
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: that's part of the deal with this defense is it's
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: so unpredictable, you know, and you can take a guy
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: it's a bit of between the that maybe doesn't have
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: the you know, the traditional measurements for certain positions, and
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: you can still find a place for them. And again,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Zach is one of those guys too, and just talking
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: to some of the guys in the off seats and
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: you know, guys come out a spy. You're see him
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: at Walmart and things like that, and they're really excited
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: about this defense because defensive players that have a defensive
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: mentality they want to attack. And over the course of
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: the last year two years, State has basically been like
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: a ven bit dumb break type scimatic defense. That's not
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: it what Arnette aren't. That's gonna be go to the
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: quarterback and crear game warmups, you know, And so that's
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: what players want. Players want to be able to pin
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: their ears back and just go chase the football. And
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: so I think from that aspect of it, there is
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: some freedom within those players rather than this kind of
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: controlled aggression, they're just gonna turn it loose. And I
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: think that in Mississippi State. You have to be a
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: little bit different than Zach Garnett and his teams certainly
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: are okay.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Are Nett?
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm not going to hold him to the
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: three three five because he moves people around so much.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: I know you'll see a lot of that.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: What's going to be interesting, Steve, is he spit a
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: year under Golding or was it two a year? Right?
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: And then and then Florida State and what he has
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: picked up that he likes and that he wants to
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: incorporate where you may see some new wrinkles that are
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: in the same vein a little bit different from what
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: you saw last in twenty twenty two.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Is that fair, Steve?
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody innovates, you know. And and it's like Arnett
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: said many times, and you have some apponent specific fires, right,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: I mean the things you just kind of pick up
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: on tape and things that you see other teams us
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: that are successful against offenses that you're going to play.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: And so yeah, back as an intelligent guy, that's one
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: of the reasons that he was elevated to the head
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: coat chief position in the first place. And granted it
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: was a job he wasn't quite ready for. But you know,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State went to him and he answered the call,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: which I think is one of the reasons is people
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: are so excited about bringing them back. But Zach's intelligent guy,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: and he learns as he's done and kind of goes
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: along things, and so yeah, I think, hey, you pick
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: up things too, may pick up things there, and you
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: just kind of move forward with it. But but yeah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I'm excited. And let's be honest about this, right. You know,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: the Mississippi State offense has been pretty good last year especially,
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: you know, and so let me show him that he
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: can score. Can arnatt give him two extra possessions of
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: ball games?
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: And how significant?
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Could could that be?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: That?
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: I think that's probably where the rubber meets the road
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: with this team. Its improvement is going to come on
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: the defensive side of the football. I think even if
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: the offense is exactly what it was last year, I
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: think that's enough to go win six for seven games.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: The defensive efforts got to be different and in turn,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: the offense benefits and improvement on defense.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: I so don't you expect them to take a slight
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: step back in the passing game. With Camarrio being a
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: true sophomore, but a big step forward knowing that Camrio
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: is a threat to get a first down at any
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: time and sometimes take it to the house running the football,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: which will then make the offensive line better if they're
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: not worth a dam, and we'll make fluff better.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: See.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think all those things can be true. I mean,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: because yeah, you've got you're going to have a first
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: time started. I mean, yeah, he started two games for
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: you last year and did play rather extensively. But yeah,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: as you saw that that first drive against Arkansas, he
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: steps up and throws just a dome, you know, to
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Anthony Evans for a touchdown. Well the next drive, you know,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: every ball was behind somebody, you know. But I think
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of that too, was just the excitement of
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: the moment. But yeah, there's gonna be some growing things.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: But I do think, as you kind of mentioned too
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: about it, because of his ability to be a threat
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: in the running game, that forces defenses to play guys
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: closer with the land scrimmage, which should open up some
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: more passing windows in that intermediate passion game. Because with
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Blake shape and listen to you, Blake is a good athlete,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: but he wasn't a plus runner, so you didn't have
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: to respect that. And like when he ran his own read,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: he really wasn't going to keep it right. Camario may
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: keep it go for a touchdown, and so I think
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: it puts the linebackers in conflict and pulls them a
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: little bit closer to the line of scrimmage, and perhaps
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: the safeties as well. And you've got some speed on
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: the outside you can make people pay with and so
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I think Levy's going to be able to pick its
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: poison a little bit. But you're right, Camarrio's got to
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: be on point when it comes to the passing game.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, Steve robertson Jean's Page dot com, they'll be uh.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: They get to interview Barnette today among other coaches, and
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: so Arnett back in the fold after three years as
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: DC in one year is the interim and and he's back.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: That's a major upgrade. I mean, bugs Bunny would have
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: been over Coleman Hutzler, but Arnett has proven on Saturdays
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: that he can be good as a defensive coordinator in
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: the SEC. Let's go back to Anthony Evans. I'm intrigued.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I like him. I didn't you know, I mean last year, Brendan.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Thompson overshadowed Anthony a little bit, although Evans had a
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: more than solid year. I like this kid's charisma and leadership.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: I thought he was really really good down at SEC
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: media days. Have you had a chance to be around.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Him at all, Steve, Oh? Yeah?
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, and the things that I like about Aunt
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: is the run after the catch, right. I mean, you
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: go back that Arkansas game were talking about now that
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: that game went in touchdown. How many wide receivers in
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Mississippi state history have you seen that could make that
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: catch out there, have the dexterity to stay in bounds
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: and then power through three tackles and then ultimately get
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: into the end zone to win a football game, right,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: I Mean, there is a winning quality with here. But
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: you're right in so much facts, he was a little
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: bit overshadowed because you know, it's Brendan making the big
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: catch out on the flyout right and just kind of
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: getting outside of the numbers and just out running people.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: You got some kids that can still do that, But
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: I think Anthony Evans is a guy that could possibly
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: challenge what Brendon Thompson did last year. From a statistical standpoint.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, he had a ver eight hundred yard receiver
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: himself last year and he had a couple of games
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: where he kind of disappeared. Well, this year he's got
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: to go be the guy and be the next receiver
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: to go get drafted. But I love his approach to
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: the game. And I think Brenon Thompson getting drafted where
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: he did actually helps him too. It's because of the
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: fact he's like, hey, this is possible within this offense
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: and at the school. I just got to go work
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: hard and make it happen for myself.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Mentioned Kevin Coleman two years ago. I know the season
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: was a disaster at two and ten, but he had
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: a hell of a year and then he transferred to
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Missouri and didn't have near as good a year. So
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: I do think that that says something, don't you agree?
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: And it's like, you know, we talked about multiple times,
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: I don't expect Lovey to have any problem getting wide
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: receivers because in the beginning it was just a promise. Well,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: now we've got production. He's like, hey, we took Kevin Coleman,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: who had done nothing in his college career, made him
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: an All SEC guy. We take Brendon Thompson, who had
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: done nothing in this college career, made him the school
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: leader in receiving yards and an all set performance. And
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: now both of us guys are in the National Football League.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: And so before you're gonna say, hey, here's what we
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: want to do, now you can say here's what we've done,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: and we can do the same for you.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: All right, Steve Robertson talk And when does camp start?
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Thursday?
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, so y'all talked to the How does it go today?
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Are you allowed to talk to any of the ten
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: assistants under Levy?
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna think it's eleven people that we're going
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: to see today, and so it's all going to kind
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: of be in ten twelve minute increments, you know, you
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: just kind of line them up there. And this is
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: the only time we expect to talk to him in camp.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: I mean's this kind of house it's been in the
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Levee administration. But yeah, we'll get a chance to every
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: assistant coach. I don't know that we're going to get
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: the assistant assistant coaches, but we've got a full list.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it'll be all the on the field guys
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: and the guys who go out recruiting, and and yeah,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: it's a big day. I mean because like you know,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of us, you know, we spend all this
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: time at the Rednecker of the area and down by
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: the river and things like that. Well, now all of
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: a sudden, you know, it's a week of football practice
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: on the high school and the college level, and so
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: you know, in some respects we're already in football, not
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: even in Mississippi State doesn't play until SIP sit Tim
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: of the fifth. But then you're gonna have Jackson Prepp
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: playing here in a couple of weeks, and the high
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: schools open up next week, and you know, it's it's here.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: It's time to get excited.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Steve Robertson on the Out of Bounds show jeanspage dot
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Com two four seven Sports, he'll have all kinds of
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: content with Jeff Levy, Zach Arnett and Philip Montgomery and more. Well,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: please do me a favor and ask Philip Montgomery, the
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: new offensive assistant, what his role is going to be.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: With Levy specifically. Steve.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's a great question, you know, And I
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: think it's one of those things too, where you know
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: there's already a working relationship, right, I mean, it's just
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: like he would be overstepped him. Like I go back.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: He and I both love Brew, right, Well, you remember
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: year one with Brew with Brew was here, Uh he
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: runs up there and calls the time out from the
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: sidelines and then Mallen loses it. Right. I don't know
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: if you remember that game. It was great because you
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: know him knowing Brew, it makes it even funnier, you know,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: because uh, you know Brew being a former head coach.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: But you know, Brew and Mallan didn't know each other,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: you know, Moni and Levy do, and so everybody's going
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: to respect the head coach. But I do think Montgomery
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: is a dad didn't get in the headset that the
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Jeff's don't listen to, you know, because number one, they
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: know each other, they've been in the trenches together. But
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: also to Mini's been a head coach before too. If
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: you don't go out hire Philip Montgomery and put handcuffs
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: on him, right, I mean, you go hire that guy
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: because he can help you get better. But he brings
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: value not just as a coach for the players, but
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: also as a guy that can be a valuable member
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: of your staff.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to know.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: What he's doing, Like Jerry Kill comes in at Vanderbilt
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: and saves Clark Lee's job along with bringing Diego Pavia,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Tim Beck and so on. So yeah, I want to
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: know what is Philip Montgomery's define role specifically under Jeff Levy.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: That's yeah, I mean what is he tasked to do
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: weekly and then on game day?
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: That's what I want to know because Montgomery and.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Arenett you know, could extend along with Camario and others,
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: but could extend his career.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Let's see you.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Down too, I mean Kevin Johnson and you look at
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: what like that's to me, that's one of the most
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: significant editions of the off season. You know, to go
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: get a guy that is instned at touch a high
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: level as an offensive coach and a quarterback coach. And
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, lev is a great quarterback coach
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: in his own right right, but when you when you
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: have a chance to bring in that wealth of experience
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: from the powerful level, it absolutely makes you better. You know,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: and listen, no disrespect to that hole check, but you
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: know it's like you go back in hindsight, you know
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: it's you're bringing a guy onto the field for the
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: very first time in the Southeastern Conference, you know, and
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: so I know he's your guy. I know he understand
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: your playbook and your lexicon. But this is a tremendous
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: upgrade for Mississippi State to get Kevin Johns Okay, all.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Right, Steve Robertson on the out of bound ship and
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: the Farm Bureau Insurance guest line. Matt Brock will be
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: available to He is basically Arnett's right hand man, and
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: he'll coach linebackers State.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's too funny too, like those two have kind
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: of become as stick as steams, and you know, they
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: were both on the first league staff, but they didn't
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: know each other before then. It's not like Garnett showed
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: up from Washington State with the rest of that crew.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: You know, leech Ball is their way guys with him
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: and some of the defensive guys. But you know, those
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: guys just see defense the same way. And Matt Brock
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: is just as fiery as Zach Garnett is. He's just
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: not as demonstrative, Like you're not going to see Matt
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Brock out there. You know, Pi'l Dropps somebody on the
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: sidelines after a Sack. You know, he's just he's a
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: little different. But that guy's so intense and I had
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: a chance to talk to him a couple of times
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: over the course of the summer, you know, get prospect
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: camps and stuff, and he is so jack to be back.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: And then he brings Jaded Johnson back with him, right
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: because they up at Yukon with him working as GA.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: And so you've got Barnett the architect of the defense.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: You've got Matt Brock as the first lieutenant, and then
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: you brought Jet Johnson back, who's played in this game,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: who has credibility in the room because he's also worn
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: the uniform. And so I think you'll see that entire
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: side of the football get better. But that linebacker room
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: with Errol Thompson at, Jeed Johnson and Matt Brock and
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Zach Arnett back that line, that very talented young linebacker
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: room should be one of the strength of this team.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: So Jet Johnson and Errol Thompson, former Mississippi State linebackers,
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: will be assisting on the defense and obviously will help
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Matt Rock at the linebacker position.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Who's the backup quarterback.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Steve, Yeah, that's probably one of the bigger questions. And
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I hope it doesn't matter, right, but
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's between aj Swan and Jayden Rashada, of course,
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: and those are two guys that have done it. You know,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: aj s one was a starter at app State. Get
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit banged up, but you know he's done it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: It was at Vanderbilt for a while, and you know,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Rashada was the guy. Obviously, he's one of the highest
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: recruited quarterbacks in the country. Here a couple of years
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: ago and really at the infancy of the nil era, right,
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: that was the big thing. If I didn't go into
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Florida with that big deal that ultimately he had trouble
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: collecting on them, but eventually went to court and they
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: had an air of court settlement and then he transfers around,
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: goes Sacramento of State. And so this is a young
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: man that has a lot of ability, but so far
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: it hadn't hadn't realized his full potential. And so you know,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: he should be your number two. But I think, you know,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: as you get deeper in ball games, especially the non conference,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: you know, if you're winning whatever, let those guys get
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: some reps. Some real game reps. But yeah, I think
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: those two are the ones that will battle was staying
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: out And of course you got some younger guys too
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: by bringing a quarter but yeah, their time will come.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, as far as you immediate this year, I
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: think you're back at quarterback battle by battles down to
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Swana Shata.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Steve.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: We have a listener on the Dancing Rabbit golf text
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: line Aiden Williams. What what are the what are the
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: expectations is there?
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Well, he's finally healthy, right, and that's so huge, right,
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: And if you go back and live.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Wide receiver for our listeners who's from Rigeland, Go ahead, Steve, Sorry,
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: you go.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: You go to you know, the Egg Bowl, and you
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: go through even the bowl game, and you finally saw
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Aid and probably around ninety ninety five percent he had
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: some elements throughout the year. But yeah, he's gonna be
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: a big part of things. I think the very first
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: time the offense takes the field, he's on, you know,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: he's lined up out there out wide, you know, and
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: so uh yeah, we need him to have the uh,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: you know, the year he's always wanted to have. But
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: he made some big plays down in the stretch and
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: again he had he had a good spring and uh
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: again one hundred percent healthy. And you know, as well
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: as I do, the best ability in anything, it's availability,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: and that was the thing last year. There were some
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: times he was just a little bit too banged up.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: He couldn't go h But again, we're expecting big things
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: from him, and you know he can be a solid
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: number two or even three. This Reagan's kid is so
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: intriguing to me. You're transferred intom Oklahoma. Who was that
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma with Bernard Thompson for a while and obviously knows
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Jeff Levy. It's so interesting to hear people talk about
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: him because you look at the numbers, is it's nothing
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: that wows you. But that was the case for Vernon
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Thompson and Anthony Evams two and people like this kid.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a difference maker. And nobody's been
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: talking about him. Nobody's talking about this Reagan's kid. He's
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit undersized, but you know, it's like they
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: used to say in the old days. You know, he's
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: fast as a water bug. I mean, you put him
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: out there in space, he's going to make people miss
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: and he's going to win the foot race of the
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: ends on and I think that's a guy that as
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: gonna nobody's talking about. In a couple of weeks into
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: this thing, people are gonna be like, hey, I kind
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: of like this kid, you know, because I think he
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: has some big playability.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Zion Reagan's is that right?
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: That's right?
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Five seven five? But like you said, evidently can fly.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: He had a personal best ten to three seven in
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: the hundred meter. I think that's probably pretty good, Steve.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I think Kevin Curnis would be
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: impressed by that, right, look a look at a similar
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: skill set. Right. But again, that's the thing Jeff Lady.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Throughout his career, he's got production out of widers of
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: your position. And I think, you know, last year is
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: probably the most talented group he had left Old Miss,
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden you get to this
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: year and you feel like it this rooms a little
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: bit deeper. Now, will they be as productive as last year?
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: That remains to be seen, but the evidence would suggests
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: probably so.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: All right, uh Steven his team jeanspage dot Com two
