  Speaker 5: football ever gets out of anybody's blood. No, you go
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: baseball and then you're like basketball, but you're always I
• 1:48

• 1:57
  Speaker 5: two hundred and ninety seven days, still football season.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: It's always in your face.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, So y'all start off with uh with Ravenwood High
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: School in Brentwood outside of Nashville, Is that right?
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, yes, sir, we'll travel up there on the
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: twenty first. Actually the team will go up on the twentieth.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Ravenwood played Oakland High School, who we played on ESPN
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: a couple of years back. Right, Oakland was the defending
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: is the defending state champs. Raveno was the runner up.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: The cool story with Ravenwood. You know last year Hayden Davis, coach.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Davis's son was the O C. Well he's still the
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: OC now because Davis is now gone to the defensive
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: side of the ball, So it'll be a I guess
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: the cat and mouse, oh versus d Yeah.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: That's cool.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Weaver, Okay, so yep, all right, So Jacob Land is
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: now the offensive coordinator for Mr. Herbert Davis is the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: head coach and now goes to defensive side of the football,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and he'll go against his son, who's the OC at Ravenwood.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: That's correct?
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: That's a that's a cool storyline, that is you know Hayden.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Hayden was a standout quarterback.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Here for us.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Sure, And uh I asked Herbert again, I was like, man,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: how how much are you all going to talk leading
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: up to that week? He's like, probably not very much.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: And uh, I just think, you know, getting to play
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: these out of town games, it it boosts the kids
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: confident and we're gonna play the Metro slate, which is
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: a gauntlet anyway, but going to play Ravenwood, you you
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: play call your real high school out of Tennessee, you
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: play Catholic High School out of Baton Rouge. I mean
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: those are our out of town games. And then you
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: got Jeff Davis County. I mean the old Bassfield come
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: on now. So I love the motto and you know
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: we we I guess stole it like good coaches do.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: We steal stuff from Southern mist like anyone anywhere, anytime
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: really doesn't sure. So we lost to Ravenwood on a
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: close one last year I remember, and beat Collierville, which
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: is the largest high school in Tennessee. And then the
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: cool one was we beat Catholic High School down at
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Catholic the concrete jungle is what they call that stadium,
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: the Memorial Stadium, and UH beat them for the first time.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Uh they hadn't lost a game there in three years,
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: and uh we upset them. I have a two point conversion.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: So it's just I think you played good teams or
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: out of state to get you better for the conference
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: slate and then the championship front.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, Madison RIDGELD Academy football on ESPN one oh five
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: downs the Zone this year and they start off with
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Ravenwood and then they go to Jeff Davis.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I mean then I think they go to Jeff Davis.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we go to Jeff Davis.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: First first two games are on the road. So as
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: a new athletic director, uh, having the first game in
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: September really helps the psyche you a little bit where
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: we don't have to gear up for first week of
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: school and then hey, you got a home.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Football seat Frain. It's what we've done the last three years, right.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: So getting two games on the road and then coming
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: back home from Hartfield Academy on September fourth.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well, so you mentioned the staff. Herbert
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: goes to the defensive side of the football. He's been
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the play caller OC since he got there, right, I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: don't even know how many years that is, twelve or
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: thirteen or something like.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: That, and you're thirteen.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, he's starting year thirteen, and.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Man, it's been seeing him on the I went to
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: watch our scrimmage against Park Lane on Friday, and seeing
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: him on the defensive side of the ball was a
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: little different, but I think it fits his personality. He
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: is a go getter, He is a motivator. He is
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: going to get every bill. Parcells used to say, squeeze
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: the rag, right, He's gonna squeeze the rag out of
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: every ounce of every player that is on that team.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: And you know, that's kind of where we are and
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: seeing him do that, everybody always asks like, hey, MRI
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: gonna be.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Good this year?
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: I said, as long as Herbert Davers, our head football coach,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: are gonna be good?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I don't know what its overall record is,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: but it's got to be insane.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's I have that somewhere.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: I wish I could pull that up for you, but well, you.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Can text me later, all right.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: John Weaver, athletic director at Madison Ridgeland Academy, Herbert Davis,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: head football coach. They're going to be on the road
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the first two games, but you can listen to it
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: on ESPN one oh five nine, the Zone and streaming.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: And then they come back for a home game September
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: fourth against Heartfield Academy. And Heartfield's built a hell of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a problem too.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: They have they haven't. It doesn't get any easier after that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: We then host car you real high school back here
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: on September eleventh, and this is when the rubber meets
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: the road. I guess you'd say. Then we go to

  Speaker 5: Jackson Prep. So those three you go to Heartfield, are
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: you real?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Joy?
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Well, three in a row.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: That's a gauntlet, okay.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And then I.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Mean it's just one of those things. But I mean,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: who doesn't get up for high school football? Look, college
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: football in the nil deal stuff is major semi pro.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: I guess you wouldn't say that but Man High School
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: football is at its core Friday night lights. It doesn't
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: get any both no.
• 7:26

• 8:00
  Speaker 5: baseball locker room on the bottom. On the top side

• 8:09
  Speaker 5: hundred seat new boardroom. And then you go down there'll
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: be academic classes that make a horseshoe. When you stand
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: at center field of our baseball field, it is looking
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: like a minor league park. It is beautiful. So if
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: you're right down Old Ken Road, if you're going north
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: or south, look right or left and take a gander
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: at the new building that is going up. There's a
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: lot of brick. You know, we're in Madison, there's a
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: lot of brick, but uh, that's it's just really cool
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: to see both. And it's commig Grate edition Trifflic Department.

  Speaker 3: That's going to be a great a heck of an
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: asset for y'all. That's cool.

  Speaker 1: baseball and that deck where people can watch football during
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: football season in baseball, and of course track and field

• 10:48
  Speaker 1: your team gonna do?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Blane Kiffen told us there's too many variables to predict
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: an outcome. He's right, but that's not what you want
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to hear. I know that now that we were here
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in August, most of you are. I've talked about this
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: for years. Most of you are adding a win to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: your team. Some of you added a win on the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: beach in June, drinking an ice cold Michelobultra before maybe
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: going and hammering some fried oysters. Some of you added
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: another one in July while you were at the lake
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: or the pool. And then some of you are adding
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: another one right now because you're chomping at the bit.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: We are too at football.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Starting week zero, week one, and then Thursday night, after
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Week one of college football, you know what happens.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: The NFL.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Madison Ridgeland Academy Football starts August twenty. First they go
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to Nashville to play Ravenwood, who's got a hell of
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a football program, and then they play Collierville, and they
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: play Jeff Davis and not counting Prep, j Hartfield and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: all the others. So and the m AIS has only
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: gotten better over the last twenty five years. They've all
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: three of well four now Hartfield. It's funny you had
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the three now four, and of course Braylen Womack. I mean,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: they produced some unbelievable players. But it's funny how how
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: many big time teams. All those teams have beat over
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the years in state. Now they've maybe they have a
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: little more flexibility, but Herbert Davis has committed to playing
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: these games. I mean they Pulaski, they played them left
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and right. They've gone up to Nashville, went to Montgomery,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: gone down to Baton Rouge, gone to Collierville, hosted these teams,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: been on ESPN, all of that. So that's right around
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the corner too, because it's i mean, we're.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Two weeks away which is crazy. Boy, that'll get coaches
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: in that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: You know how coaches get in season mindset and form,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and they're just they're maniac They're even more maniacs as
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: far as locked in. They can't think about anything except
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the who, what, where, and why of their team. Which
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: speaking up, I watched a big chunk of the old
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Miss Georgia game, not the one Old Ole Miss one.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I've done that, the Old Miss. I wanted to go
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: back and watch Trinidad a little bit earlier in the season,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and so yesterday I pulled up Ole Miss Georgia in Athens,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: which Ole Miss was up a big chunk of the game,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: h and and going and going.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: In the fourth quarter, Georgia turned it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Then Ole Miss would pay them back and beat them
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: as Georgia was up in the second half and win
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that game in New Orleans in the quarterfinals of the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: college football playoff game. Uh, it was interesting watching Trinidad
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Chambliss and Gunner Stocked and you know, go back and forth.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of fireworks the the two defenses
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: were exposed. Okay, I mean there was what eighty point
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: scored or whatever in the game, and some big, big plays.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss had some big explosive plays.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Georgia had some, but they also got these big chunks
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of yardage on the ground seven eight yards, you know,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: nine yards, ripping here and there. But I thought it
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: was interesting watching Trinidad that was about midway through the season.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: That was like game six or seven, and then you
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: know what he looked like by the end of the year.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: With Kiffin, I think the big question is he's already
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: really good. Is he gonna leave great? Is he gonna
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: leave elite? He had an elite performance against Georgia and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff in which he made some crazy,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you know, highlight reel Sports center type plays. Yeah, you
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: forget about Austin's imans because he got he didn't play
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: well and then he got hurt and Trinidad wasn't gonna
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: let him back in.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: And credit to Trinidad, I can't.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming they somewhat knew what they had, but they
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: didn't know exact because he had just transferred in from
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Fair State. They had been with him for two years
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and gotten to see him grow up and play. It's
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: one of the most unbelievable plug and play stories of
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: not just plug and Play, but by the end of
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the year, he was the best quarterback in the SEC.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Arch turned it on late in the year. Gunner Stockton
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: was good.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: But.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Trinidad Chambliss was the best quarterback in the Southeastern Conference.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I mean Todd Simpson had he made some good plays,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and he had no running game. And again, I don't
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: feel I'll never feel sorry for Alabama and football, so
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: whatever that's on you tough. You couldn't move anybody, you know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: your offensive line couldn't run block, And that's crazy to
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: me because that's all I ever remember with Alabama since
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: watching Bear bron at Memorial Stadium as a kid in
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: eighty eighty one and eighty two. And then you know,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: when they won again under Gene Stallings, all they did
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: was run the football, right.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jay Barker threw.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: The ball nine times in the National Championship Game for
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: like thirteen yards and shaving Hammered, pounded the rock with
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Mark erm and Trent Richardson until bringing in Lane and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: realizing I've got to do some things and adapt and pivot,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and they did and actually let these wide receivers that
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I'm signing do some crazy you know, Julio didn't. Can
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you imagine if Julio would have had Lane because Julio
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: blocked and blocked some more and block some more. But
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: can you imagine what happened with a Mary Cooper going
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: forward with Lane and Start and all those guys that
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: benefited as far as wide receivers at Alabama. Yeah, So
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: back to Trinidad Chambliss, He's a Heisman favorite. I mean,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: not the but Arch Trinidad and Dante Moore. I mean,
• 17:20
