- 2:02Speaker 1: one zero five to nine.
- 2:04Speaker 3: All right, let me get back into a few notes here.
- 2:06Speaker 1: We were talking about the All American Team on three
- 2:09Speaker 1: dot com and Trinidad Chambless along with Missippi State defensive
- 2:14Speaker 1: back Kewan Lacey and a kicker from o miss All
- 2:17Speaker 1: four made the first team All American Team. Courtesy of

- 2:25Speaker 1: a three year, one hundred and five point nine million
- 2:27Speaker 1: dollar extension, so he is going to get paid. Also
- 2:31Speaker 1: by Ian rapperport Is he's talking about this. That's the
- 2:35Speaker 1: next big deal that's been done out there in the
- 2:39Speaker 1: National Football League. Also Brandon Marcelo reporting that college football
- 2:44Speaker 1: execs discussed logistics about expansion today but did not get
- 2:49Speaker 1: into great detail with TV windows, media payouts, sources tell
- 2:53Speaker 1: CBS Sports.
- 2:54Speaker 3: A college football.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Playoff media consultant communicated there is appetite in the market
- 3:00Speaker 1: for expansion. Twenty team format we reported wasn't discussed formally
- 3:05Speaker 1: and he's talking about Heather Dnish reported this earlier today.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Is there another format on the table for the College
- 3:12Speaker 1: Football playf Commitee? No guarantee they will talk about it.
- 3:15Speaker 1: It's something floating floating before they've they've even done a
- 3:21Speaker 1: big deep dive on twenty four. But it's not the
- 3:23Speaker 1: first time they've heard the number twenty.
- 3:25Speaker 3: The Big ten.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Hasn't budged off twenty four. The twenty team CFP model,
- 3:31Speaker 1: a sixteen team field with four play in games, was
- 3:35Speaker 1: developed by ESPN and details were shared with a few
- 3:38Speaker 1: conference executives last week and over the weekend. It wasn't
- 3:43Speaker 1: on the agenda for today's meeting meetings as of Sunday,
- 3:46Speaker 1: but is expected to come up. So we'll see, nothing's
- 3:50Speaker 1: going to come on these rents. Nothing ever comes out
- 3:51Speaker 1: of these meetings on these college football playoff expansion. They'll
- 3:54Speaker 1: do this right at the last hour. It's what they'll do.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Ole miss will erect the statue of Archie Manning south
- 4:02Speaker 1: of Vault Hemingway Stadium and north of the Olivia and
- 4:05Speaker 1: Archie Manning Athletic Performance Centers, all surrounded by campus roads
- 4:09Speaker 1: with speed signs honoring Archie and Eli Manning. So Ale,
- 4:14Speaker 1: Miss getting ready to put a statue up of Archie.
- 4:16Speaker 1: And I think that's something that's well deserved, and I
- 4:20Speaker 1: know all miss fans will be pleased to that.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Look.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Red Dog is probably pleased by that, and some of
- 4:24Speaker 1: the Mississippi State fans next time will egg bowls up there.
- 4:27Speaker 3: This year.
- 4:27Speaker 1: If the statue is up, you can go take a
- 4:28Speaker 1: picture with the Archie Manning statue. All right, So let
- 4:35Speaker 1: me move forward here and look at a couple other
- 4:39Speaker 1: notes here. There's a question out here by Cody Nagel
- 4:42Speaker 1: on cbsports dot Com are FCS versus power for upset
- 4:46Speaker 1: its extinct? And then they list six potential shockers that
- 4:51Speaker 1: could happen in twenty twenty six. I do think more
- 4:54Speaker 1: and more of your upsets from the FCS to the
- 4:58Speaker 1: FBS are going off the table just because most of
- 5:01Speaker 1: your players that are really good players are not playing
- 5:03Speaker 1: for the FCS, They're playing for FBS teams. You know,
- 5:08Speaker 1: when you when you look at and you go back
- 5:11Speaker 1: into uh time, so to speak, the FBS versus the FCS,
- 5:15Speaker 1: competition power four or five versus the FCS, and then
- 5:19Speaker 1: group of five versus the FCS. If you go back
- 5:22Speaker 1: two thousand and six to twenty twenty one, two thousand
- 5:26Speaker 1: and six to twenty twenty one, the FBS, that would
- 5:30Speaker 1: be your you know, football football subcommittee or subcommittee. There's
- 5:35Speaker 1: there were seven hundred and forty seven and thirty eight.
- 5:37Speaker 1: That's a ninety five percent winning expectance. There win percentage
- 5:41Speaker 1: seven forty seven and thirty eight. The group of five
- 5:44Speaker 1: or six twenty six to twenty twenty one had a
- 5:48Speaker 1: winning percentage of eighty nine percent, and that's six seventy
- 5:52Speaker 1: seven and eighty two six hundred and seventy seven wins
- 5:55Speaker 1: to eighty two losses. In twenty twenty two. That this
- 6:00Speaker 1: is one year into the transfer portal, the FBS winning
- 6:03Speaker 1: percentage moved from ninety five percent to ninety eight percent.
- 6:08Speaker 1: It moved three percentage points. They were fifty three and
- 6:11Speaker 1: one against the FCS. The group of five group of
- 6:17Speaker 1: six had stayed at eighty nine percent and they went
- 6:20Speaker 1: fifty nine and seven. Twenty twenty three, we got two
- 6:24Speaker 1: years into the transfer portal and the FBS stayed at
- 6:29Speaker 1: ninety eight percent. They were fifty two and one, but
- 6:32Speaker 1: the group of six grew by six percentage points ninety
- 6:37Speaker 1: five percent. They moved from you know, eighty two losses
- 6:41Speaker 1: over two thousand and six to twenty twenty one, and
- 6:43Speaker 1: then they had seven losses in twenty two. They only
- 6:45Speaker 1: had three losses in twenty twenty three. That number dropped
- 6:49Speaker 1: in twenty four for the group of five, group of
- 6:52Speaker 1: six to ninety one percent.
- 6:53Speaker 3: They went fifty seven and six, but.
- 6:55Speaker 1: The FBS went fifty eight and oh. In twenty twenty
- 6:59Speaker 1: four they did not lose a game to the FCS,
- 7:02Speaker 1: and then in twenty twenty five they went sixty to zero.
- 7:05Speaker 1: They did not lose a game to the FCS, and
- 7:08Speaker 1: the group of five group of six moved up to
- 7:11Speaker 1: ninety four percent. They went sixty two and four. So
- 7:14Speaker 1: last year to put this into context, the FBS and
- 7:18Speaker 1: that the group of five and Group of six collectively
- 7:21Speaker 1: went one hundred and twenty four and four against the FCS.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I do think because of the transfer portal and the
- 7:27Speaker 1: way things are lining up, those days are gone. I mean,
- 7:31Speaker 1: you might grab one upset and it would have to
- 7:34Speaker 1: be a monumental upset of sorts. But the FCS coming
- 7:38Speaker 1: in and beating teams, you know, a level up that
- 7:42Speaker 1: is just about off the table because of the transfer portal.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Six er one eighty five three seven seven six. That
- 7:49Speaker 1: is the couple of Maloney's text line, Expanded College Football
- 7:51Speaker 1: Playoff comes with a schedule problem that is tough to solve.
- 7:55Speaker 3: This is courtesy of Ross.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Challenger says, if you want big, sexy numbers from the
- 7:59Speaker 1: College Football Playoff meetings here, you'll be sorely disappointed. The
- 8:03Speaker 1: cfp's governing board of commissioners and Notre Dames Athletic Director
- 8:07Speaker 1: met here for three hours and while the organization's media
- 8:11Speaker 1: consultants made presentations on sixteen and twenty fourteen playoff formats.
- 8:15Speaker 1: They did not present to the room the long awaited
- 8:17Speaker 1: media evaluation for the twenty fourteen field. No magic money figure,
- 8:21Speaker 1: no juice cash number, no estimated value. The meeting centered
- 8:26Speaker 1: around what's becoming maybe a much bigger issue, the schedule
- 8:30Speaker 1: and how you fit twelve additional games, one extra round,
- 8:34Speaker 1: and a dozen more teams into an already cluttered December calendar.
- 8:38Speaker 1: Quote that's a hard one, Executive director Rich Clark of
- 8:41Speaker 1: the CFP told reporters after the meeting. After the meeting,
- 8:45Speaker 1: so you know, you're talking about they keep going twenty
- 8:47Speaker 1: four teams, twenty four teams, but the calendar, And that's
- 8:51Speaker 1: the thing, Like the Big ten is asking for so
- 8:54Speaker 1: much to get to twenty four You're talking about dissolving
- 8:57Speaker 1: the conference championship games, dissolving Week zero, trying to find
- 9:01Speaker 1: out a place for Notre Dame, versially for a Navy
- 9:03Speaker 1: and Army Navy game. There is a lot of logistical
- 9:07Speaker 1: nightmares running into the NFL schedule, running into the NBA schedule,
- 9:12Speaker 1: running into the holiday schedule. There is a ton of
- 9:14Speaker 1: logistical nightmares that this twenty four team College Football play

- 12:00Speaker 1: We know the track record he you know Chris Jones'
- 12:02Speaker 1: career at Kemper County at Startville, and you know, what
- 12:05Speaker 1: is it.
- 12:05Speaker 3: What does this look like for Hines?
- 12:07Speaker 1: Well, I think we saw it pretty early and often
- 12:09Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, first play offensively, uh, the
- 12:11Speaker 1: ball game on the road, last year. Uh, you know,
- 12:13Speaker 1: his team set up in a in a quad set,
- 12:16Speaker 1: ran a quick screen and that thing was off and
- 12:17Speaker 1: running for like an eighty five yard touchdown.
- 12:20Speaker 3: Really big year last year.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Had a couple of losses won at East that U
- 12:24Speaker 1: had a chance to win and another one missed some opportunities.
- 12:27Speaker 3: But man, what a year last year.
- 12:28Speaker 4: It was great. Yeah, the up at Edawamba. I remember
- 12:31Speaker 4: that we had some some all kinds of trouble setting
- 12:34Speaker 4: up our broadcast because it was it was first time
- 12:36Speaker 4: and we were trying to work all the kinks out.
- 12:37Speaker 4: And then he throws a you know, a screen to
- 12:40Speaker 4: the the out and uh and running for a touchdowns
- 12:43Speaker 4: very first play from scrimmage as a college coach. So
- 12:45Speaker 4: I thought that was really impressive. We uh, I think
- 12:48Speaker 4: we got it uh framed and it's up in his office,
- 12:51Speaker 4: uh for him his first college win against Ittawamba. Yeah,
- 12:55Speaker 4: they did really good. I remember vividly that game at
- 12:57Speaker 4: East Missippi and that one touchdown that that rough and
- 13:00Speaker 4: scored and we lost seven to six because we missed
- 13:04Speaker 4: the extra point. We had all kinds of missed opportunities
- 13:07Speaker 4: in that game. Should have won that game.
- 13:09Speaker 3: And then uh.
- 13:11Speaker 4: Yeah, we lost to Jones that's down at their place.
- 13:15Speaker 1: And that was one of those weird Thursday nights too,
- 13:17Speaker 1: because I think Hines had won two or three in
- 13:19Speaker 1: a row. Was rolling and you know how it is
- 13:22Speaker 1: in this league, and you know, people talk about it
- 13:23Speaker 1: all the time, is how tough the junior college league
- 13:26Speaker 1: is and the circuit is in the state of Mississippi.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Rolled in the Jones.
- 13:29Speaker 1: It was kind of a cool afternoon and uh, their
- 13:32Speaker 1: run game took over and nothing Times could do about them.
- 13:34Speaker 4: It was the Uh it was the week after our
- 13:36Speaker 4: off week, so we had we had went to East
- 13:39Speaker 4: Central and beat them at homecoming handedly. I think they
- 13:42Speaker 4: didn't make it across right, made it across half field
- 13:45Speaker 4: one time, I think in the second half. And uh,
- 13:49Speaker 4: then we had a week off and then we went
- 13:51Speaker 4: down to Jones and it was just the week off
- 13:53Speaker 4: really hurt us last year. This year, this year, we
- 13:55Speaker 4: don't have a week off. We're playing ten straight games,
- 13:58Speaker 4: so we'll see how We'll see how that goes. It's
- 14:01Speaker 4: gonna be a grueling, grueling season. It's gonna be a
- 14:04Speaker 4: tough one this year. So I'm excited to see how
- 14:07Speaker 4: how they do. I think the offense is gonna be
- 14:09Speaker 4: really really fun to watch with all the returners that
- 14:13Speaker 4: they have with quarterback at receivers. He's got a great
- 14:16Speaker 4: corps wide receivers that came back along with Ruffin who
- 14:20Speaker 4: is a signal caller and doing a great job. We'll
- 14:22Speaker 4: see how the defense does. They they lost a lot
- 14:24Speaker 4: on defense and they're really young.
- 14:27Speaker 3: So we'll see.
- 14:28Speaker 4: We'll see what coach Pope can do on defense. We
- 14:30Speaker 4: have all the faith in him that he can he
- 14:33Speaker 4: can create a great defense. He's got some good coaches
- 14:35Speaker 4: with him, and it's gonna be Uh, it's gonna be
- 14:37Speaker 4: fun to watch.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Nathan where my are the athletics director here at Hines
- 14:40Speaker 1: on your radio at his Eagle Day on your radio
- 14:42Speaker 1: Monday edition of the program. Yet, you know the energy
- 14:45Speaker 1: that coach Jones has in of course with you and
- 14:48Speaker 1: your staff, I mean it's a it's a team effort.
- 14:50Speaker 1: You guys have such a great staff here, you know
- 14:52Speaker 1: for game day staff. The thing I mean, this place,
- 14:55Speaker 1: that's one of the things that I can say last year,
- 14:57Speaker 1: I don't think there was anywhere we went and for
- 14:59Speaker 1: sure here where we didn't have full capacity crowds everywhere.
- 15:03Speaker 1: People really embraced single football being back at a respectable
- 15:06Speaker 1: level last year.
- 15:07Speaker 4: Yeah, we've always had good crowds. I remember when I
- 15:10Speaker 4: first came here five years ago in my first home game,
- 15:12Speaker 4: I was just shocked at the amount of people we
- 15:15Speaker 4: had in the stands and I took a picture of
- 15:17Speaker 4: it and sent it to my former boss who it
- 15:20Speaker 4: was is the ad at a school out in Kansas.
- 15:22Speaker 4: And we never attracted crowds like that in Kansas because
- 15:25Speaker 4: we played on Saturday afternoon. And playing on Thursday nights
- 15:28Speaker 4: I think in this part of the country gets people
- 15:33Speaker 4: to you know, we love our football. Whether it's high school,
- 15:37Speaker 4: Juco or college. You can get it three nights of
- 15:40Speaker 4: the week and then NFL on Sundays makes it for
- 15:42Speaker 4: four straight days of football in Misissippi. So I love
- 15:45Speaker 4: playing on Thursday nights. It's gives me my weekends off.
- 15:50Speaker 4: It's been with the family. Yeah, and it's it's a
- 15:52Speaker 4: great it's a great atmosphere and they treat it really
- 15:55Speaker 4: really great.
- 15:55Speaker 3: Down here in Mississippi.
- 15:56Speaker 4: We go to all across the state at all our
- 15:59Speaker 4: sisters tos and and it's really amazing that the game
- 16:04Speaker 4: day atmosphere that they have at every institution, no matter
- 16:07Speaker 4: where are you're going all the way up in the Delta,
- 16:09Speaker 4: Kahoma and Delta, they do a great job up there
- 16:11Speaker 4: and all the way down to Park and even you
- 16:14Speaker 4: know Southwest, and it's just everybody has their traditions at
- 16:18Speaker 4: every place, and it's always fun to watch and every
- 16:21Speaker 4: game is always tough.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean to step on you there. Everywhere
- 16:24Speaker 1: we went last year, you're right to that point. I
- 16:27Speaker 1: was blown away by just the tailgating and you know,
- 16:30Speaker 1: just the like I said, everybody was different. As a
- 16:32Speaker 1: matter of fact, the first ball game we had, we
- 16:34Speaker 1: laughed about it. That was the first place I've ever
- 16:36Speaker 1: seen and I think Auburn does it too, where they
- 16:38Speaker 1: actually had a DJ set up in the stands and
- 16:43Speaker 1: I remember it's DJ Chris because I sent it to
- 16:45Speaker 1: my producer who's said, men, check this out.
- 16:46Speaker 3: They've actually got a DJ.
- 16:49Speaker 5: It.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a DJ in the stands, which was
- 16:52Speaker 1: kind of comical because he was over over, overshadowing the
- 16:55Speaker 1: public address announcer at times.
- 16:56Speaker 3: But I mean, you're right, all jokes aside.
- 16:58Speaker 1: I mean, every campus as unique, has their own traditions,
- 17:02Speaker 1: and if people aren't taking advantage of junior college football.
- 17:05Speaker 3: They need to come out check it out.
- 17:06Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 17:06Speaker 4: Absolutely. If you're listening and you haven't been to a
- 17:09Speaker 4: community college football game in Mississippi, you need to go
- 17:11Speaker 4: to one. There's fourteen schools around the state that have football,
- 17:16Speaker 4: and every Thursday night there's six games going, So you
- 17:19Speaker 4: can pick a game and go to it, or you
- 17:21Speaker 4: can listen to it on one oh five nine in
- 17:23Speaker 4: the ESPN all over the state and you can hear
- 17:24Speaker 4: Hines football wherever you're at in the state and listen
- 17:27Speaker 4: online too, And it's just the schools around this state
- 17:31Speaker 4: do a wonderful job of keeping football relevant, especially across
- 17:37Speaker 4: the country. And you know, we we try to be
- 17:40Speaker 4: as best we can when we get to the national
- 17:42Speaker 4: level we get outside in the playoffs and things like that,
- 17:45Speaker 4: and we do. The presidents do a wonderful job of
- 17:49Speaker 4: trying to keep like I said, the game day atmosphere
- 17:52Speaker 4: going across the state with the band and the cheerleaders
- 17:55Speaker 4: and dance squad and visiting bands. Even will one of
- 17:58Speaker 4: march at halftime, so we've got a whole full halftime
- 18:01Speaker 4: of two bands that are performing and it's it's a
- 18:04Speaker 4: family atmosphere at every game you go.
- 18:05Speaker 1: To as the prefeason polls come out. Yet, for I
- 18:09Speaker 1: looked this weekend, I didn't seen anything, but I could
- 18:11Speaker 1: have missed it.
- 18:11Speaker 4: Not yet they have not come out. I personally, I've
- 18:16Speaker 4: been harping on this for for a while as I
- 18:20Speaker 4: abhor the preseason polls because they at our level they
- 18:24Speaker 4: really mean nothing. You're basing it off of last year's record.
- 18:29Speaker 4: And then you're at a two year school, so all
- 18:31Speaker 4: these kids are gone after one year, possibly, so you're
- 18:34Speaker 4: turning over half or more of a roster. You have
- 18:37Speaker 4: no idea who you're bringing back, you have no idea
- 18:39Speaker 4: about the transfers, you have no idea who's going to
- 18:41Speaker 4: be quarterback of what, and then you do it so
- 18:44Speaker 4: far ahead of the first game, and it's just like,
- 18:47Speaker 4: it makes the committee look really bad when they put
- 18:51Speaker 4: out a preseason poll, and it's not their fault because
- 18:54Speaker 4: they've got to put something out. And after the first
- 18:58Speaker 4: week of play, your first your top six teams could
- 19:01Speaker 4: lose a game and you're like, oh, great, top six
- 19:03Speaker 4: is own one, and then you got all these teams
- 19:06Speaker 4: that are not ranked that are one to O. So
- 19:09Speaker 4: I hates a strong word, but I'm not a fan
- 19:12Speaker 4: of the.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Preseason poll, but yeah, I mean, but you got to
- 19:16Speaker 1: do it, and I mean, Stubby, I think a lot
- 19:18Speaker 1: of the general public is that way with even college
- 19:20Speaker 1: football now, because how do you have it? Just what
- 19:22Speaker 1: you said, how do you have a preseason poll on
- 19:25Speaker 1: not just the junior colleges, but you look at Division
- 19:27Speaker 1: one where LSU's got forty eight to forty five new
- 19:30Speaker 1: guys this year. You know, how do you quantify you
- 19:33Speaker 1: You can know, yeah, again accurate probably you know within
- 19:36Speaker 1: the top ten the big ones that have the most
- 19:37Speaker 1: money to spend, but the rest of them you just don't.
- 19:39Speaker 3: I mean, who saw Indiana coming last year? So I
- 19:41Speaker 3: didn't not either.
- 19:42Speaker 4: It it was for sure fun to watch. I mean,
- 19:46Speaker 4: who knows if they're going to be that good again
- 19:47Speaker 4: this year? They they should be, but you just it's
- 19:53Speaker 4: it's like throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what
- 19:55Speaker 4: sticks and you're like, oh, well, I mean let's put
- 19:57Speaker 4: them up there. They they might be pretty good this year.
- 20:00Speaker 4: They got this, they got a returning quarterback. I mean
- 20:02Speaker 4: I would think that Heines would move up in the
- 20:06Speaker 4: preseason poll this year because I think we finished thirteenth
- 20:08Speaker 4: last year.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Yeah, in the poll.
- 20:11Speaker 4: So I mean, we've got our returning All American quarterback
- 20:14Speaker 4: and starting receivers coming back, and a lot of starters
- 20:18Speaker 4: coming back, and we've got a lot of good freshmen
- 20:20Speaker 4: that played.
- 20:21Speaker 3: Well in high school.
- 20:22Speaker 4: But we'll see what the committee does. We'll see if
- 20:25Speaker 4: they turn out anything worthwhile. If Hines isn't ranked in
- 20:30Speaker 4: the in the preseason poll, I'm not going to stress
- 20:32Speaker 4: about it, and Coach Jones is not going to stress
- 20:34Speaker 4: about it.
- 20:34Speaker 3: There you go, port We let you go.
- 20:35Speaker 1: We got to take a time out, tillerbuddy, where they
- 20:37Speaker 1: can get more information as the first home game will
- 20:40Speaker 1: be here coming up two weeks from Thursday.
- 20:42Speaker 3: Tickets, information on game times and all that stuff.
- 20:44Speaker 4: Yeah, everything is on our website sports dot HEINECC dot EEDU.
- 20:49Speaker 4: If you go to Google and you google Hines Athletics,
- 20:52Speaker 4: it'll be the first thing that pops up as our
- 20:53Speaker 4: athletic website, and then you could find all the sports
- 20:56Speaker 4: schedules on there, the rosters for all the sports as we.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Put them up.
- 21:02Speaker 4: You know, at the community college level, we're short staffed
- 21:05Speaker 4: a little bit, so doing our SID does an excellent
- 21:08Speaker 4: job and he's he's putting up rosters as quick as
- 21:11Speaker 4: he can get them. Football won't finalize their roster and
- 21:14Speaker 4: feel probably the day before the first game because they've
- 21:17Speaker 4: got to cut it down to sixty five kids. So
- 21:20Speaker 4: it'll be it'll be interesting to see what what he
- 21:23Speaker 4: cuts it down to. But you can find everything online
- 21:26Speaker 4: on our website. We've got Twitter. Football has Twitter. I'm sorry,
- 21:30Speaker 4: X I got to get out of that habit of colling.
- 21:32Speaker 3: Everybody still does the same thing.
- 21:33Speaker 4: Yeah, they put X and it's parentheses formerly Twitter. Yeah,
- 21:37Speaker 4: and then Facebook follow us on the Facebook page. We
- 21:40Speaker 4: put everything out the week of the game, and we'll
- 21:43Speaker 4: put everything out the day of the game where you
- 21:45Speaker 4: could find links to tickets or links to watch it
- 21:49Speaker 4: if you can't make it to the game, but if
- 21:51Speaker 4: you if you do come to the game, we're ar
- 21:54Speaker 4: We're cash less ticket gate, so we only take card.
- 21:58Speaker 4: We encourage people to buy ticket it's online before they
- 22:01Speaker 4: get here because the ticket prices do go up if
- 22:04Speaker 4: you buy it at the gate and then you got
- 22:05Speaker 4: to use a credit or debit card. So I always
- 22:09Speaker 4: encourage people to buy them online before they get here
- 22:12Speaker 4: and we can check them in. But yeah, first game
- 22:14Speaker 4: is August twenty seventh. Then we got ten street weeks
- 22:18Speaker 4: of football and then hopefully a state championship game and

- 24:10Speaker 1: this the last few weeks is we're moving around covering
- 24:12Speaker 1: all kinds of football here in the state of Mississippi.
- 24:14Speaker 3: Chris, welcome in, sir.
- 24:15Speaker 6: How are you good, Jack? How are you doing?
- 24:18Speaker 3: Chris? I think we're all pretty good, right.
- 24:20Speaker 1: I mean we've we've talked and talked and talked and talked,
- 24:23Speaker 1: and here in just a few weeks when we get
- 24:25Speaker 1: you on our narrative will change and we'll start talking about, uh, oh,
- 24:28Speaker 1: that team's not as good as we thought, or that
- 24:29Speaker 1: team's better than we thought. We're almost a game week,
- 24:31Speaker 1: my friend, we're getting close.
- 24:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
- 24:34Speaker 6: It's and it's always difficult. Everyone wants to know who's
- 24:38Speaker 6: going to be good. You know, I get this a lot.
- 24:40Speaker 6: Who's going to be the surprise team? Well I knew
- 24:43Speaker 6: it wouldn't be a surprise, So it's it's it's a
- 24:47Speaker 6: lot of unknowns, even though you look at it, and
- 24:51Speaker 6: a lot of different factors. Who should be good, who
- 24:55Speaker 6: could be good, that things change, things change for that
- 25:00Speaker 6: particular team, plus the opponents that they play. I see
- 25:03Speaker 6: oftentimes a team that maybe is, you know, ten and two,
- 25:10Speaker 6: that really looks more like an eight and fourteen. Sometimes
- 25:15Speaker 6: an eight and fourteen looks like a ten and two
- 25:17Speaker 6: teams based upon the quality of their schedule when they
- 25:21Speaker 6: play a team where they play them. So yeah, there's
- 25:24Speaker 6: there's that that happens, an awful lot that happens in
- 25:27Speaker 6: both throw and college ball.
- 25:30Speaker 1: So Chris, let's talk about some of those teams, you know,
- 25:32Speaker 1: Let's let's start with Indiana. We haven't talked to Indiana
- 25:35Speaker 1: in a while and you know, just kind of looking
- 25:37Speaker 1: at and we'll see where this judge that. And we
- 25:39Speaker 1: talked about it briefly last week on the segment we
- 25:41Speaker 1: had you on, and I meant to get you on
- 25:43Speaker 1: another segment. The week just ran fluid and through. So
- 25:45Speaker 1: I apologize about that, but talk about the judge in
- 25:48Speaker 1: Colorado who said, hey, if you're twenty twenty two product
- 25:51Speaker 1: coming into college, you get the fifth year.
- 25:53Speaker 3: We'll see if those hold.
- 25:53Speaker 1: But Indiana right now has three guys on the defensive
- 25:56Speaker 1: side that look like they're coming back.
- 25:59Speaker 3: You know, Josh who is And you know, when we
- 26:01Speaker 3: were talking last year, Chris, if.
- 26:02Speaker 1: We'd have been on the tenth day of August and
- 26:05Speaker 1: had you on, which we probably did the nine tenth
- 26:08Speaker 1: or eleventh somewhere there, we weren't talking Indiana. We weren't
- 26:11Speaker 1: talking Fernando Mendoza. Fast forward to this year. Josh Hoover
- 26:15Speaker 1: at least statistically almost a ten thousand yard passer, a
- 26:19Speaker 1: three year starter. He has way more upside coming into
- 26:23Speaker 1: the program than Mendoza did. Could he could he be
- 26:26Speaker 1: you know the curtain call, so to speak to me?
- 26:29Speaker 1: Could this be another big get for Kurt Signetty in
- 26:31Speaker 1: another big year.
- 26:34Speaker 6: There's no question. I'm not going to take him for
- 26:36Speaker 6: granted anymore. I'm not going to make assumptions like maybe
- 26:40Speaker 6: I had, because I think it's it's the bigger picture here. Yeah,
- 26:46Speaker 6: you're right, Josh has got a lot of ability. Is
- 26:48Speaker 6: he going to be the leader that Mendoza was? Mendoza
- 26:51Speaker 6: that was his strength? This is this is not a
- 26:54Speaker 6: team that's built around the quarterback making the splash play,
- 26:58Speaker 6: But it's about defenses have to overplay the multiplicity of
- 27:01Speaker 6: their offense and the quarterback being able to excel and
- 27:05Speaker 6: make plays when he needs to. They've got good playmakers.
- 27:08Speaker 6: They've lost some talented guys that buy it out, but
- 27:11Speaker 6: they're good at the line of scrimmage. They have depth
- 27:14Speaker 6: and you just kind of mentioned some age. They're usually
- 27:17Speaker 6: veteran laden. Their defense is good and look, this is
- 27:21Speaker 6: not a shot at all but North Texas, Howard, Western, Kentucky, Northwestern, Rutgers.
- 27:28Speaker 6: Stop me when you see a loss or hair loss
- 27:30Speaker 6: at Nebraska. I mean, then you got Ohio State, Michigan, Minnesota, USC, Washington, Purdue, Okay,
- 27:38Speaker 6: Ohio State, Michigan and the USC. You can throw at
- 27:43Speaker 6: Washington at Nebra, I mean where you don't see a
- 27:46Speaker 6: lot of losses there, and so I think this is
- 27:49Speaker 6: a good team. I think it's a good program. I
- 27:51Speaker 6: think last year proved it. Did they play a gauntlet
- 27:55Speaker 6: of a schedule? No, I know that maybe a sore
- 27:59Speaker 6: spot to hear, but they played a good schedule, and
- 28:02Speaker 6: board were they good. In the playoffs? They just hammered Alabama.
- 28:07Speaker 6: They just absolutely, I mean they could have played that
- 28:10Speaker 6: game ten times and I don't think Alabama win it one.
- 28:14Speaker 6: I mean I really don't. Uh So they're really good,
- 28:17Speaker 6: and they're well coached, and they're physical, and so you
- 28:21Speaker 6: got to beat them. A hole State's capable of beating them.
- 28:25Speaker 6: Maybe maybe Michigan and an Arbor's capable of beating them.
- 28:33Speaker 6: I just I think the others they're gonna have to
- 28:37Speaker 6: maybe help the cause a little bit. USC at Washington,
- 28:40Speaker 6: you know, at Nebraska. I don't USC would have a
- 28:45Speaker 6: chance to beat them in Bloomington, but but you know,
- 28:49Speaker 6: I think Indiana would probably have to help the pause
- 28:51Speaker 6: a little bit. So, yeah, they're good. They're really good.
- 28:55Speaker 6: They're probably playoff good again, are they you know? Good
- 28:59Speaker 6: enough to run the tab will win every game? And
- 29:02Speaker 6: go all the way. I don't think so, but yeah,
- 29:04Speaker 6: I'm counting me as someone that is not going to
- 29:08Speaker 6: help them short in any way, shape or form.
- 29:11Speaker 1: Visit with Chris Landry Landry football dot com on a
- 29:13Speaker 1: Monday talking college football, and of course, you know LSU,
- 29:17Speaker 1: you're right there in the great state of Louisiana. What's
- 29:20Speaker 1: the word coming out of Baton Rouge. I know there's
- 29:22Speaker 1: a lot of excitement. They've got a lot of new
- 29:24Speaker 1: guys with forty to forty five I think new faces obviously.
- 29:28Speaker 1: You know, you look at Sam Levitt, the quarterback in
- 29:31Speaker 1: from Arizona State. If he, you know, is back to
- 29:33Speaker 1: the form he was two years ago, he could be really,
- 29:36Speaker 1: really good. LSU is a team that did not make
- 29:38Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. We know that that expectation for
- 29:41Speaker 1: them this year is to make and be a part
- 29:43Speaker 1: of that playoff, no.
- 29:44Speaker 6: Question about it. And I think anything short of the
- 29:47Speaker 6: playoffs is going to be a huge disappointment because they
- 29:50Speaker 6: feel like they've spent the money, given the resources, not
- 29:53Speaker 6: just do Laine in his staff, but just to support staff,
- 29:58Speaker 6: and the money they've rud in the nil era and
- 30:03Speaker 6: how they're going to pay players and what they've been
- 30:06Speaker 6: able to do. There's a lot of talent there, there's
- 30:09Speaker 6: no question about it, but there's still some areas where
- 30:13Speaker 6: you with so many changes, you want to know how
- 30:16Speaker 6: it's going to all come together, and they've got a
- 30:19Speaker 6: little bit more difficult road. So we just talked about Indiana,
- 30:22Speaker 6: but they've got Clemson at home, which they're better than Clemson.
- 30:25Speaker 6: Then they've got Louisiana Deck. Then they got all Miss.
- 30:28Speaker 6: Then they got A and M. So I mean Ole
- 30:29Speaker 6: Miss and A and M are two top ten, top twelve,
- 30:33Speaker 6: top fifteen teams. So I mean you got two teams
- 30:37Speaker 6: that are every bit is capable of beating LSU's LSU's
- 30:42Speaker 6: you know, capable of beating them. And then I think
- 30:45Speaker 6: you get the rest of the way where it's you know, Alabama.
- 30:48Speaker 6: They got EXAs at Tennessee. So I do think that
- 30:52Speaker 6: there's great expectation, but I think that that the late
- 30:56Speaker 6: September nineteenth and twenty six is going to be huge
- 31:01Speaker 6: at a time where it's going to take the Clempston
- 31:04Speaker 6: and Louisiana Tech game to a get wins in both
- 31:07Speaker 6: of them, but find a way to a stay healthy
- 31:10Speaker 6: and develop that chemistry on both sides of the ball.
- 31:14Speaker 6: That's going to be necessary to go on the road
- 31:17Speaker 6: and beat an ole miss and beat an A and
- 31:19Speaker 6: M and baton ruge. I think it's going to be
- 31:21Speaker 6: quite a challenge. And I think that's one of the
- 31:24Speaker 6: things that's really difficult about the SEC is you just
- 31:30Speaker 6: very rarely get quote unquote a week off where if
- 31:33Speaker 6: you don't play well, you lose. I think in some
- 31:36Speaker 6: cases you don't play well and it affects the margin
- 31:39Speaker 6: of victory. But I mean they are games, sometimes four
- 31:42Speaker 6: or five of them, and then SEC schedule that if
- 31:44Speaker 6: you don't play well, regardless how good you are, you're
- 31:48Speaker 6: capable of losing.
- 31:49Speaker 5: It.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Got to take a time out more coming away with

- 33:01Speaker 1: you tell us?
- 33:01Speaker 4: Uh?
- 33:02Speaker 1: You know, I've noticed Oklahoma State is starting to get
- 33:04Speaker 1: some buzz, really nice staff. Maybe we talked about them
- 33:07Speaker 1: briefly a few months ago. Could they be a sleeper
- 33:11Speaker 1: in the Big twelve?
- 33:15Speaker 6: It could be. I think they have a chance to
- 33:18Speaker 6: maybe be better than something. But you know, I don't
- 33:22Speaker 6: know that they're you know, if I'm looking at the
- 33:24Speaker 6: Big twelve and I'm kind of stacking them up. I mean,
- 33:28Speaker 6: you know, we know tech situation. You know they're good.
- 33:31Speaker 6: You know the quarterbacks. But BYU, I think you taught
- 33:34Speaker 6: Houston Arizona. I think TCU, I think I think there's
- 33:39Speaker 6: those teams would come off the top of my tongue
- 33:42Speaker 6: before I get to Oklahoma State. But it doesn't mean
- 33:46Speaker 6: I think they can't be competitive go to a bowl game,
- 33:48Speaker 6: and look, I do think that they're in a position
- 33:51Speaker 6: to maybe maybe pull a surprise on a couple of people.
- 33:55Speaker 6: So yeah, I think it depends on your definition of
- 33:59Speaker 6: could they surprise some people? Yes, are they gonna finish
- 34:02Speaker 6: that any you know, being the running to win the
- 34:06Speaker 6: Big twelve? I don't think so that that is that
- 34:10Speaker 6: would be surprised. Let me please you that way, I
- 34:12Speaker 6: don't see that happen.
- 34:15Speaker 3: Chris.
- 34:15Speaker 1: There was an article and I can't remember who put
- 34:17Speaker 1: it out and asked, are the FCS to FBS games
- 34:21Speaker 1: and FCS to the group of five six games?
- 34:23Speaker 3: Are those upsets dead?
- 34:25Speaker 1: And when you start looking back over the last couple
- 34:26Speaker 1: of years, and I can't remember the exact number, but
- 34:28Speaker 1: I think last year alone, the FBS plus the Group
- 34:32Speaker 1: of five was like one hundred and twenty four to
- 34:35Speaker 1: one loss among all the schools. Has the transfer portal
- 34:39Speaker 1: kind of ruled that out? Now where the old FCS
- 34:42Speaker 1: upset that we'll see five, six, seven times a year,
- 34:45Speaker 1: that's gonna be a thing.
- 34:45Speaker 3: Of the past.
- 34:47Speaker 6: Yes, it has, and in fact that it's just not
- 34:50Speaker 6: even competitive, they're not fun to watch. It's not really
- 34:53Speaker 6: good evaluation, and it's it's just call it what it is,
- 34:58Speaker 6: what it's always been. It's money games for those schools,
- 35:03Speaker 6: and we've got to figure out a way. I felt
- 35:05Speaker 6: like all along to help support these programs, maybe tied
- 35:09Speaker 6: into some TV contracts where I've always believed that those
- 35:12Speaker 6: programs should play amongst one another, with similar recruits the rules,
- 35:17Speaker 6: with similar recruiting budgets, compete for their own title, and
- 35:24Speaker 6: I just don't think it's I don't think it's good
- 35:26Speaker 6: for them to be playing other than the fact they
- 35:28Speaker 6: get a check that will probably pay off their athletic
- 35:33Speaker 6: budget for a year, which is again not fair to
- 35:36Speaker 6: the kids that play, the coaches that prepare that really
- 35:40Speaker 6: have no chance. I just don't think that's good. So
- 35:43Speaker 6: I think we need to figure out a way to
- 35:49Speaker 6: make that something that could go away but still benefit
- 35:54Speaker 6: financially those lesser schools, because you're right, it just hadn't happened,
- 35:59Speaker 6: and it used to be where a lot of times
- 36:00Speaker 6: guys with friends for a down, well they're transferring up
- 36:04Speaker 6: and they're trends flying out to some are transferring latterly.
- 36:07Speaker 6: I guess would I would say, Chris.
- 36:10Speaker 1: I got about three and a half minutes here, I'll
- 36:13Speaker 1: give you a what if since we're talking you know,
- 36:14Speaker 1: possibles and what ifs and all today, if Dan Mullin
- 36:18Speaker 1: gets another ten wins, I know he's been on a
- 36:21Speaker 1: lot of list of guys that could you know, coaches
- 36:23Speaker 1: that could move into the FBS another ten win season,
- 36:26Speaker 1: maybe he plays for the Mountain West Championship or if
- 36:29Speaker 1: the I can't remember if they're in the new Pac
- 36:31Speaker 1: twelve or not or Packed Pack twelve or not, but
- 36:34Speaker 1: maybe he gets you know, of he to the College
- 36:36Speaker 1: Football Playoff this year. Do you see a path or
- 36:38Speaker 1: maybe a want for him to get back in the FBS.
- 36:42Speaker 4: Oh?
- 36:42Speaker 6: My, absolutely do. And here's the thing about it is,
- 36:46Speaker 6: what's the thing that's maybe held him back? It's well,
- 36:49Speaker 6: recruiting might be a problem with him. You know, it's
- 36:53Speaker 6: not a great well you know, then you got to
- 36:56Speaker 6: look at it and say, okay, well where is that?
- 36:59Speaker 6: You know, where does that put him? Well, if you've
- 37:02Speaker 6: got a program that's going to pay money and you
- 37:07Speaker 6: know you feel like hey, that can absolutely affect you know,
- 37:11Speaker 6: his ability to maybe procure better players. I absolutely think
- 37:17Speaker 6: the guy can coach, the guy can develop quarterbacks, and yeah,
- 37:21Speaker 6: you know you're there in the Mountain West, but I
- 37:23Speaker 6: think that he absolutely could. And then, by the way,
- 37:27Speaker 6: I think that they're along with New Mexico the teams
- 37:29Speaker 6: to beat their air force is pretty good. Dude. No,
- 37:33Speaker 6: I absolutely could see him having success. He's got some
- 37:36Speaker 6: good players. He's got Jackson on them by the way
- 37:38Speaker 6: as a quarterback there, and he's got a really good
- 37:41Speaker 6: running back in the Jadan Thompson. So absolutely look for
- 37:45Speaker 6: him to to to maybe make that next step again.
- 37:49Speaker 6: I think he would would love that.

- 38:07Speaker 3: Chris and Andrew on your radio.
- 38:08Speaker 1: As we get close to the end of our number one,
- 38:11Speaker 1: Chris Jones, the head coach at Haines, should join us
- 38:14Speaker 1: next segment as the Eagles are off the practice field.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Let me see if I've got some other notes here
- 38:21Speaker 1: to get into we told you the NFL is adding
- 38:23Speaker 1: a wrinkle to its initiating challenges. If you miss that
- 38:27Speaker 1: and just joined us in the NFL changing a little bit,
- 38:29Speaker 1: tweaking the rule book here.
- 38:30Speaker 3: Right before the season.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Basically, the head coaches are the ones who have predominantly
- 38:35Speaker 1: you see watching a NFL football or you in the game,
- 38:37Speaker 1: they're going to throw the red challenge flag on the field.
- 38:39Speaker 4: Now.
- 38:40Speaker 1: They're going to allow teams to have an intermediary of sorts,
- 38:43Speaker 1: a defined person that the coach and the team decides, hey,
- 38:47Speaker 1: they're gonna help us throw this. A record one hundred
- 38:50Speaker 1: and fifty nine challenges last year across the National Football League.
- 38:53Speaker 1: I feel like some of that was probably emotional.
- 38:55Speaker 6: So that is.
- 38:57Speaker 3: In the works there.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Also, Teddy Bridgewater has retired from the NFL twelve year career.
- 39:04Speaker 1: He has called it, called it today and he will
- 39:07Speaker 1: hang it up. Teddy Bridgewater retiring from the Lions. Also,
- 39:13Speaker 1: we'll get into Ari Wasserman's most pressing questions around college football.
- 39:18Speaker 1: What some of those questions are for you know, some
- 39:20Speaker 1: of the big teams out there, and of course we're
- 39:22Speaker 1: talking Ohio State. You know that's the Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon, Texas, Georgia.
- 39:29Speaker 1: You know, everybody can't win the national title, and some
- 39:32Speaker 1: of these teams, I mean, you know again, this is
- 39:36Speaker 1: one of those years where I wouldn't be surprised. I mean,
- 39:38Speaker 1: if we had one hundred people submit and it was
- 39:40Speaker 1: you know ten, you know, ten per ten per ten,
- 39:44Speaker 1: ten for Ohio State, ten for Oregon, ten for Georgia, ten.
- 39:47Speaker 1: I would be shocked if any of them won it.
- 39:49Speaker 1: I think the field is that tight. We're brought to
