  Speaker 3: one on the Mississippi Sports Medicine call line.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: David, welcome in, sir. How are you?
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: Hey, Jake.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, David.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: How you doing, man? I was just telling B that
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: I enjoyed the Brandon Bulldog game so much Friday night
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: that I even got up Saturday morning and watched the
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: whole thing on rewind again.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: There you go. There you go.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Just a great shout out to Coach Clinton, all that staff,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: all the players. Jake, whatever they did at halftime, I'd
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: like to send a message to Coach Clinton, please don't stop.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was definitely a tell of two halves.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Second half and score of what, 35 points?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was definitely a tell of two halves for sure.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: And not this 35 points against anybody, that's one of
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: the most premier programs in the state, in my opinion,
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: and I think a lot of people's opinions.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's no doubt. Yeah, I mean, look, Oak Grove's
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: not going anywhere, and Brandon could see them again here
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: in a few weeks in the playoffs. I mean, Drew
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Causey does a great job with that football team, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: they get a couple things fixed.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, they could play for state. I mean, they
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: could win the South. They're very good.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely. Jake, just one more question. What do you
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: think Tyson's chances are for being Mr. Football 7A in
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: the state of Mississippi this year?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you, David.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I'll answer that after this call, and I appreciate your
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: call as always.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: 601-897-1059.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Brandon gets by Oak Grove this past week. Of course,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: we'll have a lot of high school football this week.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: As always, Tyson Robinson, 294 yards on the ground and
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: four touchdowns. And as far as Mr. 7A, I think
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: you should get it. I mean, the guy's unbelievable. And,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: you know, there's some other guys out there that are worthy,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: but I think Tyson is going to, you know, have
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: his name right there in the hat.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: When you look at.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: what he has done in his career, not only his
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: career this year, Brandon Thumpsoe Grove on Friday night. By
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: the way, did we get the walk-in today?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, I got a walk-in.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Brandon did something I've never seen. Well, I'm sure people
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: have done it. I've never seen it. So that was
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: a very tight game at halftime. And I think Brandon
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: may have actually been down 14-7 in that game at
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: the half. Teams go to the half. They come back
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: out to warm up. Oak Grove comes out, warms up.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Band leaves the field. Oak Grove's out there getting ready
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: for the kickoff. Dogs aren't even out there. And here
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: they come sprinting out of the locker room. Coaches yelling
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: at the players. So obviously they had a talking to
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: that lasted a little longer than it probably should have.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: But they didn't stretch.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: They ran straight out on the field and then dropped
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: 30-something points in the second half. It was pretty impressive.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I've never seen a team not warm up. But what
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: does Deion Sanders say? Cheetahs don't need to stretch.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: They just run. All right.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: So what was your takeaway? So what's the vibe today?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: State fans ready to get Levy out of here? What's
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: going on on the Matt Wyatt show? That's always where
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I like to go. That's the heart, it feels like,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: of the state fan base.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't listen much, but it seems like on
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: the text line, yeah, we're back into more people than
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: in a while. They're done with Jeff Levy.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Where are you on this, and where should people really be? Meaning,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: does he get any reprieve because of the injuries? I mean,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: you're playing with half an arm on offense. Or is
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: he responsible for that? I mean, there's blame to go
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: around everywhere. But what's the sensible thing on this?
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know. You've got one player that makes the
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: entire thing go. You are one player dependent. So without him,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know what you expected to begin with once again.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: said it before Camario Taylor got there. I'll say it
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: again once Camario Taylor's. Remember who you are. You're Mississippi State.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Stop acting like, I can't believe this. We're so offended.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Fire the coach, whether he's there or not. This one
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: player that we're so dependent on, plays or not, Jeff
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Levy's garbage. He only won three more games last year
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: than he did his first season, and that wasn't enough.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: He blew a couple of games. Just remember who you are.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: You're Mississippi State. You are not 1997 Nebraska. Stop acting
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: like you deserve anything. Or you should be higher than
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: you are. Yeah.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: You're where you are.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: You got this generational talent. I get the frustration that
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: he's not on the field, but hey. You know what
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: to do. Like Rez Dogg said, who was it? Was
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: it Rez Dogg? He said there are a few, or
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: maybe it was JC. They said they found that there's
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: few things harder than being a Mississippi State fan. Well,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: then you know it, so you know how to deal
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: with it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: And the way you deal with it is to say, oh,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: it's baseball season.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you are what you are, right? That doesn't mean
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: you shouldn't want more, but it's like being a Saints fan,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Dolphins fan. Pick any of those teams in that level.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Speaking of ResDog, Jake, glad you're at work today. What
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: is it going to take to get Flebby fired? Tennessee
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Tech is pumped about getting their first P4 win ever.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, now, okay. You know what? We keep reaching new levels,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: and now the level is you've written Tennessee Tech as
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: a loss. Interesting.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: No, it's crazy times right now. Hey, we're brought to
• 9:52

  Speaker 3: David Murray will talk Mississippi State coming up in 20 minutes.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Turning to sports.

  Speaker 1: With Jake Wimberly on the afternoon drive. One of the
• 10:11

• 11:08
  Speaker 3: 11 and infinity. Who wouldn't want to keep that? After all,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: we are MSU and shouldn't even expect to be relevant. Well, no,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you should expect to be relevant. And, man, there's just
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: so much with this.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: So much. And I think Beef said it best.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: When your best player is out and your second best
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: player is on half a wheel and you got three
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: of your best defensive players out, there's just this– This
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: is a microcosm of how little depth teams have this year.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: And moving forward, with the transfer portal because of money
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and you don't have enough money, and there's a significant
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: drop in 1A to 1B, and then 1B to 2B.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: There's just a significant drop here. All right, college football
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: bracketology courtesy of Andy Staples. He has Miami No. 1
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: if the tournament were today, the national tournament, Ohio State 2,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Indiana 3, and Georgia 4. 5 versus 12, UCLA versus
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: New Mexico. Do you have that on your college football card?
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: UCLA versus New Mexico. 6-11, Utah versus Texas. And that
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: would be Utah hosting Texas. 8 versus 9, BYU versus Northwestern.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And 7-10, Kentucky versus Florida. This is crazy. We're in
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: a crazy, crazy time. Hey, you've also got next week,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: November 7th, the television on.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Docket is out.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Texas versus Missouri will be at 11 o'clock on ESPN.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Arkansas versus Auburn will be at 11.45 on SEC Network.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Texas A & M, South Carolina at 2 o'clock on ESPN.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Alabama LSU at 2.30 on ABC or the SEC Network.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: That's going to be ABC. That will be opposite of
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State Vanderbilt. at 3.15 on the SEC Network. Kentucky
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: versus Tennessee on ESPN at 5.15. Georgia Ole Miss is
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: set for 6.30 primetime in Oxford, ABC. And Oklahoma, Florida, 6.45
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: on the SEC Network. So if you're a Mississippi State fan,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: you're kind of sandwiched right there in that middle section.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: If you're Ole Miss, you're back on primetime, ABC, that night.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: How much football did you get a chance to watch
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of college, or did you just kind of
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: peek at it? You didn't watch any of it?
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Very little.
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: Very little.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Did you watch any of the state game? Watched the
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: first quarter. And then you're just like, nope, not enough.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: It was bad. It wasn't good. It's bad football. It
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: was really, really bad football. Andre from Jackson.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I love MSU, and we are 8-0 in September over
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the last two years. Andre from Jackson. What do you
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: think about Andre's spin on that? He said, we are
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: 8-0 in September.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: You find something good.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Hold on to September.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: See?
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Hold on to September. What if State did a shirt
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: that says, hold on to September?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Hold on to September. Eternally September. September forever. Any of these.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Any of these would work.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Andre just gave the best spin Mississippi State fans could
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: have right there. We're 8-0 in September the last two years.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: It's all how you look at it, right? It's all
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: about perception. Jason and Flagstaff, let's get ahead of the curve.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Fire Levy now so we can get our choice of
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: FCS-level coordinators, coordinator to be the next head coach, since
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: that's all that would take the 13th out of 16
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: SEC teams in NIL spending in the spending job. I
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: don't know that that's all you're going to get. But
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: you are– so, look, you are in a unique situation–
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Everybody is at this time of the year. Coaches are
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: already getting fired. Dave Aranda let go of Baylor. You've
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: got Maryland let go of Loxley. So you've got teams
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: that are starting to drop coaches. And the question is,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: what are you going to do with them? Brandon Marcello
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: reports the bowl system is not going anywhere inside bowl
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: games scramble as executives await the 10 FBS conference plans
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: for the 2027 season. We will get into this at
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: some point this week. Churro, MSU football. and the SEC
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: is like single-ply toilet paper in a five-star hotel.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Is that a good analogy?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: I'll go with it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: What's bad for MSU in their fan base is it
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: feels like it's Groundhog Day, right? I mean, Andre just referenced,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: and I didn't think about it, they're undefeated in September
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the last two years. They're almost winless in October the
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: last two years. Do they have a shot in hell
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: at beating Texas?
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: No.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Not at all.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: It's not happening. There's just no way. Will Arch Manning
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: look like a Heisman candidate Saturday?
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Chances are good. Chances seem good right now.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: So they'll be back. Robbie Falk on X. Jeff Levy
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: confirms that Jalen Smith is out for the year. He's
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: already had knee surgery or surgery on his knee. No
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: update on Kamario Taylor. They said they'll know in the
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: next 48 hours or so. A lot of people asking
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the question, should they have played him?
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Was it premature?
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: You know, the turf toe thing is a pain tolerance, too.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: How much pain can you hold? That doesn't mean Kamaru
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Taylor is weak. But that thing obviously was giving problems.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know that he's going to be healthy the
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: rest of the year, though.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: No, probably not. I mean, we keep talking about this,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: but it's simply... It's still fresh on my mind because
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: it's just the latest example that we've seen, and it
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: was just last season. We moved to the NFL, which
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: the NFL, okay, tippy-top level. Stakes are much higher. There's
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: more money. There's a professional atmosphere. If you have an
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: NFL quarterback, Brock Purdy, missed two games, tried to come back,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: re-injured it, missed six more games. You just don't know
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: with these things.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: And odds are, and I'm by far pulling for this,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: but just wondering what you just said. He obviously re-injured
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: it or he wouldn't have come out. So if you
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: go by that small window of projection, he may not
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: come back the rest of the year. I mean, literally,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: he may come back the Egg Bowl, maybe, but it's
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: got to be somebody else. Let's see, ResDog, I just
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: ran my truck into the ditch on purpose. I hope
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: he's okay. You think he's all right?
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he'll just get another one. It'll be fine.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Tyler Horka says Steve Sarkeesian on Mississippi State is, quote,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: a dangerous football team, and he wouldn't want to be
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: anywhere else on Halloween night than DKR with Texas trying
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: to keep it rolling and beat the Bulldogs.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: So he's trying to play it up. He's saying, hey, look,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: they're a dangerous team. It's Halloween. Weird things happen. I'm
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: glad we got it here.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: But I don't think State's going to– do you know
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the line on this game?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I haven't looked at it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: We'll pull the lines. Whatever it is, it's probably way
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: too low.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Beeb, I know you're going to enjoy this one if
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: you haven't seen it. So Baylor is looking for a
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: head football coach. We'll get into the Baylor search. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: want to look at the candidates that they're putting on
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: the Baylor tag.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: And again, I.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Don't pull for coaches to get fired. I don't think
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Jeff Levy is going anywhere. But I want to see
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: what the pundits are saying for Baylor and kind of
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: cross-reference that to what Mississippi State possibly could get if
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: they go a different direction.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Baylor looking for a football coach. Robert Griffin III, RG3.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Who is a legend at Baylor, Heisman Trophy winner, says
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: he is 100% interested in the opening at Baylor for
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: the head coaching job. Quote, if Baylor wants to get
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: back to winning and have a university that isn't just
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: respectable on the football field, but the fans can be
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: proud of, they need people who know what it looks
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: like to win at Baylor.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I'm that guy. What do you think? RG3 publicly saying, hey,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I want the job.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Is there anything that this dude's not going to stump for?
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: I think it was maybe a month ago, he was
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: on his own podcast talking about he was including himself
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: in a list of quarterbacks that needed to be called by,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: I think he was talking about the Falcons at the
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: time when they were trying to figure out their situation.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: He stumped for including himself. He was given a list
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: of quarterbacks, Cam Newton, okay, all that stuff. He included himself.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Now he's now he's stumping for a coaching job yeah
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: dude continue to do your little podcasts and enjoy the
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: past that you had you can't play football anymore you
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: couldn't play at the last few years of your career
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: in the NFL stop.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: This Possum Neck Joe, glad you guys were not around
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: in 1776. We would all have different accents. Wait, I'm confused.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Of course, what's he talking about? People giving up or what?
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: We wouldn't have won our independence.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Because with the people, like, on the text
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: line and stuff?
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: We'd have given up?
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: By the way, the line on that game, text is
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: minus 20 and a hook. 20 and a hook.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Also, Ole Miss running back Kewon Lacey will miss the
• 20:37

• 21:03
  Speaker 7: Do you stay up at night thinking about the lack
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: of push from your team's offensive line? Do you spill
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: your Dr. Pepper arguing with your TV because pundits are
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: torching your defense?
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: You're not crazy.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: You're a fan.
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: And no college football fan can fan to their fullest
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: without the bold, one-of-a-kind taste of Dr.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: Pepper.
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: It won't fix any.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Of the problems we previously stated, but it's delicious.
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: And drinking it at a tailgate will make you look
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: like a ball knower, which is a great consolation prize
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: for the lack of push your offensive line gets.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: College football.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: It's a Pepper thing.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: It's time to get back in the game with Jake

• 22:42
  Speaker 3: on your radio as Mississippi State gets ready after another
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: tough weekend to head to Texas this weekend.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: David, welcome in, sir. How are you?
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: It's Monday. Do you know who your quarterbacks are? I
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: guess is the best way to put it. After this
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: morning's press conference with Jeff Levy, he will not come
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: out and say it and would only mention that the
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: next 48 hours will be critical about the status of
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: Camario Taylor. But I have a hard time believing Camario
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: plays this weekend at Texas. So now it comes down
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: to do they run Billy Puckett back out there? Do
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: they get A.J. Swan, his first action, not just of
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: the season, but at Mississippi State, period? Some combination of both,
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: or is there any sort of realistic idea that Taylor
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: could play limited snaps at Texas? And by the way,
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: I had to look it up to make sure for myself,
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: but Texas has artificial turf, which is doubly not good
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: on a turf-toe-foot situation that he's dealing with. So just
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: throw that into your calculations as well.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, David, you know, there's a pain tolerance, or at
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: least that's what the medical people say that comes with
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: turf toe. And that doesn't mean that, you know, Camaro
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Taylor is mentally or physically weak. I mean, it's just,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: can you, can your body, you know, how much pain
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: can your body stand on that? And, you know, B
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: and I were talking about, you know, Brock Purdy in
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: the NFL. He had a couple of years ago or two,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: a year ago or two years ago, he had this
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: and was out a couple of weeks, tried it, had
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: to come back off the field.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: He was out four weeks.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is a situation that I don't, you know,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: envy Jeff Levy being in because Kamara Taylor may be
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: done the rest of the year.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, he may come back, you know, in two weeks.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: He's got to find an answer at quarterback. And, you know,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know that it's Billy Puckett. And we'll see
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: if it's A.J.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Swan.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: But he's got to do something here because this offense
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: has gone, I mean, really just kaput the last two weeks.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: Well, trying to wrap it up on Taylor as of today,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: in retrospect, of course, he shouldn't have played Saturday. But
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: you couldn't know it until he tried to play. I'm
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: not getting on Levy. for playing him because I guarantee
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: that Taylor was practically demanding he be allowed to play.
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: And if he did, that means that the medical staff
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: signed off and said he's not going to make it
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: any worse. Well, but he did. And you could tell
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: on the third series, it was eerily similar to the play,
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: which told you, you know, that he wasn't himself against
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: Alabama when he had a scramble to the right cut
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: and all of a sudden stumbled. it was almost the
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: same identical thing this past weekend. He was scrambling on
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: his last play, opening to his right, cut, and stumbled.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: And that just means that no matter how much pain
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: you can tolerate, when you slam that foot down, you're
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: going to react. Yes, he has the arm strength to
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: make things happen in a pocket if he's allowed to
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: set up, but he's just not going to be allowed
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: to set up. That's just all it comes down to.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: And defenses know it. Now, I'll say this for Oklahoma.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: They didn't do a lot of blitzing. Once Camario was
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: out of the game, he took three sacks there in
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: his three series. They just kind of played it straight
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: and only sacked Puckett once, but there was plenty of pressure.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: So I think that stat is kind of misleading from Saturday. Texas,
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: I didn't get to watch all the game with Ole Miss,
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: but I've seen enough games they've played this year. When
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: they want to dial up the pressure on defense, they
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: can absolutely do it with their personnel. So now you
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: just cannot have an immobile quarterback back there unless he's
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: somebody who can get the ball out really quick, and
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: that is not Billy Puck's strength.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: David Murray, make sure to get him on X, and,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: of course, you can check him out at jeanspage247sports. com, Monday
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: edition of the program. So, David, where should Mississippi State
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: fans be with this? Because there's so much frustration. I'm
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: not one that ever cheers for a coach to be fired.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I know there's the fringe fans say, hey, he needs
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: to go. talking about Jeff Levy, I look at the
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: situation and say, hey, look, this is going on around
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: the country. This is not a pass. I mean, you
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: look at Ohio State, they lost a quarterback. Oregon lost
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: a quarterback. They're definitely not as good on the second
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: or third team, you know, down the bench as they
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: were at one. State is not as good, you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: down the bench as well. You look at Fluff Bothwell.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, he had 111 yards on 17 carries, but
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: he is not healthy. I mean, Ole Miss lost their
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: running back, Keewon Lacy. This is going on around college football,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: and I think what we're seeing is Even though these
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: rosters are so expensive and they're going to continue to climb,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: there's just not enough money for depth. And you better
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: hang on because, I mean, odds of you losing somebody
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: are pretty high. And if you lose a bunch of somebodies,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: then you're not anywhere where you thought you were.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: Just a minute. I'm chasing a dog who's trying to
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: run away. But Nellie, get back here.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: That's all right.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: She scooted out the door when I shouldn't have opened there.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: And now we're all in traffic as a result. The situation,
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: of course, being that I think you've got to go
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: with an SEC veteran like Swan this weekend. And there's
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: been the frustration, of course, he hasn't played yet. A
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: lot of that's simply the fact that he's had repeated
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: ankle issues since he got here in spring. He's a
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: dadgum dog. He does own the place, doesn't he? Traffic stopping.
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: This is awesome radio.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: No, it really is. No, it really is.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: No.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: He's had an ankle issue that was aggravated in some ways.
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: One of those guys, he either puts his foot in
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: the wrong place for somebody to step on it or whatever.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: But he's cleared to go now, and I think State's
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: got to ride him. I think he's got the mental toughness.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: He's been at Vanderbilt, LSU, Appalachian State. He's seen everything.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: I think you run him out there and he's just
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: not going to be too rattled by the situation in Texas. Puckett,
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: bless him. He's been asked to do something that no
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: freshman should be asked to do. But the fumble he had,
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: the interception he threw, I just don't think it's wise
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: to run him back out there in that situation. But
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: it's going to be a situation all year, I mean
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: all season. Well, I guess I could go ahead and
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: say all season. What do you do? Because this offense
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: was built around Camario Taylor. Now, The coaches always say,
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: whatever they are, you've got to execute and run the system.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: I get it. But you have to adapt to what
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: you have at the quarterback position more than anything. So
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: this is where we see Jeff Levy and staff have
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: to make some adjustments. What you can do. You still
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: got the runners. You still got the receivers. The same
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: offensive line. It's all the man receiving the snap. But
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: you've got to play to his strengths, whatever they are.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: David Dove.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: AJ Swan, what do we know as far as his availability?
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: This guy was a backup to Diego Pavia at Vanderbilt, obviously.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: He's got SEC experience. He has played SEC football. Where
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: he is in his recovery? with Mississippi State?
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: I think he's fine to go. He was dressed out.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: I saw him in the third quarter doing some passing
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: on the sideline just in case because, and by the way,
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: another thing too, State had to leave the starting offensive
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: line in there even after it was just about a
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: lost cause because you couldn't afford to have Billy Bucket
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: go down. So you're doubly risking a lot of your
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: starters in a situation like that. You see the bind
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: that it's in. I think Swan will be able to
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: go out there, be competent. The main thing, and this
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: is why I think he's going to get it this week,
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: and Steve agrees with me, is because Levy repeatedly said
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: today it's all about taking care of the football. And
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: when you emphasize ball security over playmaking– You've just tipped
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: your hand. You've got to go with somebody you trust
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: not to throw the interception, not to lose the handle
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: in a goal line situation. Now, entirely different subject. Should
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: Puckett have even been allowed to be in an RPO situation?
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: We're sitting there going, snap it four times directly to
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: Fluff Bothwell or somebody else. Snap it to Sam West,
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: for goodness sakes. But don't make a freshman quarterback have
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: to make a decision. We saw what happened when you did.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: So.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: That tells me you've got to change your offense for
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: your quarterback. It's not ideal, but it's the situation. And
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: here's the thing to remember, too, Jake. I know I'm
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: getting kind of all over the place. State can still
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: beat Vanderbilt with A.J. Swan. I really believe it. Wouldn't
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: that be a nice little story there?
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: I think State could beat Vanderbilt with Billy Puckett. I'm
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: pretty confident about Tennessee Tech. So you're still on the
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: line for bowl eligibility even without Camario Taylor. Auburn, tougher challenge.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: Ole Miss, probably out of reach with those guys. But
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: you have a chance to achieve, weirdly enough, what was
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: your goal going into the season? Six and six in
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: a bowl game. It just hurts more because you see
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: what the team could be with a full-strength Camario Taylor
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: for a whole season. He is that much of a
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: difference maker. That's special. Of course, that's a whole commentary
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: on what they've recruited to surround him with, but it
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: doesn't take anything away from the fact Taylor's that special.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: That said, you still got a chance to win some
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: games here with what you have left. If you adapt
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: to what they can do and don't force, put another
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: way in that goal situation down there, first down, don't
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: call a play for Camario Taylor, unless Camario Taylor's on
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: the field.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: David, we've got a few minutes left here. Any other
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: news we need to share on Mississippi State sports?
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Well, we had the exhibition with Memphis the other night,
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: and Josh Hubbard came off the bench. You could tell
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: he's not 100% speed yet. I think he had one
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: decent practice where he got in there. They were rattled early.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: I think Memphis is going to be pretty darn good,
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: by the way. Not championship good, but they'll be entering
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: their conference. Much better team than I saw last year.
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: State's got a lot, a lot, a lot of chemistry
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: on the court to take place. The guys like each other.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: I think they all play off each other pretty well.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: but they don't know where to be when the ball's moving.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: They don't know yet how to get in there, what
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: type of shots are going to go up and get
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: rebounds and things only game experience can show. I think
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: athletically they're ahead of last year, but I still have
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: some concern about second chance points. I, the ball handling
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: without Hubbard on the point, which we'd love to get
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: them off there still suspect at this point, uh, Reed,
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: he's going to be good. He's going to be really good.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: He's just a little raw right now, obviously. I like
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: Thomas Bassong there as a defender there. Chris Jan's a
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: troublesome talent. It's going to take a while for this
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: bunch to come together to my eye.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Make sure to get him on X. Check him out
• 33:27

  Speaker 8: I love days like these at the pool, but my
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: moderate to severe plaque psoriasis can sometimes take me out

• 34:22
  Speaker 8: clearer skin when measured from head to toe, and many
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: were even 100% plaque-free. People also saw significant improvement in

  Speaker 8: psoriasis symptoms of pain, redness, itching, and burning.
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: Don't use if allergic to Sky Rizzy. Serious allergic reactions,

• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Probably going to be the guy this weekend. Four seasons
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: of college football. Started out, played two at Vanderbilt. Sat
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: at LSU for the 24th season. Was at App State
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: last year. 4,236 yards, 32 touchdowns, 17 picks in his career.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: He's attempted 620 passes. He's completed 354. That's a 57.1%
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: completion percentage. Beavers, should Mississippi State fans embrace A.J.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: Swan?
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: I guess you might as well. At this point, just
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: see what you have. You've got to find something. Yeah.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Go a different route. See what you got. That's not
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: a Great explanation, and it's not a great option, but
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: you don't have many right now.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: How about we have fun with this and just create
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: some slogans that state fans could use for this? Like,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: since he's a journeyman, A.J. Swan finally found a place
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: to land. You know the swan?
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: You don't like that one? Swan diving into the end zone?
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: You like that one? You don't like that one? Portal legend,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Starkville edition, A.J.
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: Swan?
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Who are these attributed to? Who's doing this?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Unnamed people. I can't tell you that.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Or is this you?
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: This is me.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: This is you.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, no wonder I hate them so much.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: When in doubt, let Swan figure it out. Hellstate, what
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: do you think?
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to give the fan base something. I mean,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Andre's already said, hey, let's lean into September. And now
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, hey, let's just roll with it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: A.J.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Swan, man, throw him out there.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: I want to see him throw a pass before we
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: start making catchphrases. How about that? Let's go step one.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Throw a pass.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: How about this? Swan song. Just warming up. You like
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Adams is state taking a swan dive.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: See?
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: What if they roll over there in Texas and all
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: of a sudden A.J.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Swan becomes a legend? I.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: You could see anything. Anything could happen. Well, probably except that,
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: but it's been a crazy football season so far.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Who knows, Jake?
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: It has.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Rest dog, David Murray for head coach. So he's ready
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: to give David Murray the head coaching job.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Once again, you don't have a lot of options right now,
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: so see what you got. Hire David Murray and just
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: see what you got.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Pocahontas and Pocahontas has to remind Jake of the winner
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: from last Friday. Bama and the over 50 and a half,
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: never in doubt.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Peace out.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: That was, I actually thought about you, Pocahontas, over the
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: weekend when I cut that game on and it was
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: way over the over. You know, Texas A & M
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: scared them for a while. Looked like Texas A &
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: M may go in there and win. And then Alabama
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: kind of hit the gas and ran off with it.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Let's see here. Also, Humphreys County Dog. The Camario 30
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: for 30 is going to be awesome. What if I
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: told you one man's toe... brought down an entire program
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: we can name it the toe hurt around the world
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: that's pretty good right it's hard to believe you know
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: sometimes people say what you got more power in your
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: baby toe than whatever than a whole nation one man's
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: toe did bring the program down res dog swan for
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: heisman see that's what i'm talking about it's not it's
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: not too late to jump in there and win that
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: heisman Levy says Swan is as healthy as he's been
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: all season right now. So it's going to probably be
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: AJ Swan this weekend.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, maybe he comes out and. Arch Manning
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: doesn't have a good game and Swan starts I mean
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: look 10 for 15 for 175 yards and a couple
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: touchdowns and all of a sudden this thing you're in
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: a ball game on Halloween night out there in DKR
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: or whatever it's called the stadium out there where Sarkeesian
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: said he's glad he's there We'll get into Brett McMurphy's
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: college bowl projections. And also, courtesy of Ross Dellinger, Michigan
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: announces the official launch of its search for its next
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: athletic director. Hiring search firm, and I have no idea
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: who these guys are. ZRG Turnkey is leading this search. Baylor, Maryland,
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: and NC State have all now fired coaches in a
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: span of five days. Baylor is expected to owe Dave
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Aranda around $ 12 million. Buyout totals now around $ 32 million total. Aranda,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: $ 12 million. Dave Dorian, NC State, $ 10 million. Mike Loxley, Maryland,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: $ 10 million. Yeah, Dave Aranda has been fired. He was
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: one of the ones that was on the hot seat
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: and kind of at the top of this thing, and
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: it just never was going to work out for Baylor
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: and Dave Aranda. This is a team right now, though,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: that's 4-3. They've lost their last two games. I mean,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: they were sitting fine after losing to Auburn. They had
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: won four in a row. They lost to TCU 17-6,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: and they lost to Kansas on the road 25-24, and
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: the brass at Baylor had had enough. They said they
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: got to get him out of there at 4-3. So
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Dave Aranda is back on the market. He'll likely be somebody,
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: a really good defensive coordinator next year. And Baylor is
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: on a coaching search. Let's see here.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Why is this doing this?
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: Nope.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: All right, Scott Frost in Central Florida beat No. 2
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: BYU in double overtime, another unbeaten in the FBS Falls.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: Cougars followed the win over Notre Dame last week with this.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Big 12's two most likely playoff hopefuls.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: BYU and Texas Tech lose on the same day.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: As Ross Dellinger says, that conference is wacky. Rezdog, if
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Swan beats Texas, I'll never text the show again. You
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: think he means that?
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: No.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: No.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: Rez Dog, because last week, he texted in when you...
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: You took off last Wednesday and Thursday, and by Thursday,
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: I remember RezDawg had texted in that, as he put it,
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: since nobody here wants to work, which was true, because
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: I think that same day Matt Wyatt was off, and
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: in the morning you had glorious two-week-old replays. So that
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: part was true, and he said he was leaving us entirely.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: He said he was going to a rival radio space.
• 42:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: Here he is.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: He's still with us.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: Rez dog.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: He may take a hiatus and celebrate if Swan beats Texas.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: We just may not see him. Jason in Flagstaff, quote,
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: stop looking at me, Swan. Now, that's got to be
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: a reference to something.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: Who said that?
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Jason.
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: Jason.
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: Of course. You wouldn't. You know that when you were
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: going through your terrible catchphrases earlier, that was going through
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: my head. Stop looking at me, Swan.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: What is that off of?
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Billy Madison.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. And J-Rock.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: RG3 told Dan Patrick this morning he would definitely be
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: interested in the Baylor job. Yeah, he's out there, RG3.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: He's after this job, man. He wants the Baylor job.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: And let's see here.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Minnesota.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: So much coaching experience. Why would they not call you?
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of coaching experience there. Minnesota beat No.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: 15 Iowa on a walk-off field goal over the weekend.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: The Gophers are now 5-2 with wins over Michigan, Washington,
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: and Iowa. Losses to Mississippi State and Purdue. Also note.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: In the Big Ten, Oregon drops to 4-3. They lost
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: to Illinois over the weekend. So much for that $ 50
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: million roster.

  Speaker 2: Got you nothing.
