- 1:07Speaker 2: right there. Yeah, they went out a juice because I
- 1:11Speaker 2: forgot to put them on a charge and I've stressed
- 1:14Speaker 2: them for two days and they went out a bike
- 1:16Speaker 2: two hours ago. They were dinging in my ears like
- 1:19Speaker 2: telling me I'm running out of gas. So they're out.
- 1:21Speaker 2: That's okay. Hey, we are brought to you by Maria
- 1:23Speaker 2: Star Casino. Get out play at a Maris Star Cassino.
- 1:26Speaker 2: A lot of futures will be out there Friday Friday
- 1:29Speaker 2: at a Maristar. I'm gonna put some futures in if
- 1:32Speaker 2: you want. I'm telling you today, right in front of
- 1:34Speaker 2: God and everybody, the five people that listen to the show.
- 1:37Speaker 2: I'll help put years in. You can go in hazzies.
- 1:40Speaker 2: You ready, yes, but I need you to put some
- 1:47Speaker 2: work in and come up with some bets and I'll
- 1:49Speaker 2: go in half with you. Anything futures, we do, wind totals,
- 1:54Speaker 2: We could do wind totals. Pick us about five, ten,
- 1:58Speaker 2: whatever you want now, hold on.
- 2:01Speaker 4: I tried to go in on the ones you had
- 2:04Speaker 4: already ran by me, but now you want whole new ones.
- 2:09Speaker 2: So we can do some of those again. Because there's
- 2:11Speaker 2: so many combinations of futures. As it pertains to conference championships,
- 2:17Speaker 2: there's a ton of those. So we could do a
- 2:19Speaker 2: couple of those. Let's do. But you've got about seventy
- 2:24Speaker 2: hours to work on this. We'll work on together.
- 2:27Speaker 4: Well, I'm still working on the ones for me and Saintsboro.

- 2:33Speaker 4: what I want to do there.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I thought he was not going with you this year.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Oh no, he is, he is. He pulled.
- 2:40Speaker 4: He pulled Classic Saintsborough. So last week it was funny
- 2:43Speaker 4: because I told you about that, and then like two
- 2:45Speaker 4: days later, He sent me a message and it was
- 2:48Speaker 4: a calendar invite, so it was real professional like, and
- 2:52Speaker 4: he said August eleventh, eight am, Journey to the Star.
- 2:57Speaker 4: I said, all right, let's do that. We nailed it down.
- 3:02Speaker 4: Two days later I find out he picks eight am
- 3:07Speaker 4: because he just casually mentions. He doesn't think that I
- 3:10Speaker 4: catch these things casually.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Mentions in a message.
- 3:14Speaker 4: Yeah, if we if everything, if everything goes accordingly, that

- 4:13Speaker 2: State Kelly Ford four thirty to five. I was supposed
- 4:15Speaker 2: to be out at Madison Central today. I thought the
- 4:17Speaker 2: Tavy columns they have a We're moving that to next
- 4:20Speaker 2: week just because they have so much going on today.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Scheduled to be at Heartfield tomorrow, Jackson Academy the next day,
- 4:26Speaker 2: Mariston on Friday. But they're doing all their videos. You know,
- 4:29Speaker 2: high school football is just like college now, and that
- 4:32Speaker 2: you have to have all these sessions now for video
- 4:34Speaker 2: board work. I mean, did you ever think about having
- 4:37Speaker 2: video board work when you were in high school? No? Now,
- 4:39Speaker 2: we got to set aside a day to do video
- 4:41Speaker 2: board work for when you do the starters and stuff.
- 4:43Speaker 2: So I didn't want to convolute the process over there today,
- 4:46Speaker 2: so we're moving that to next week. So but we
- 4:49Speaker 2: got a lot to do. You know, I find this interesting,
- 4:52Speaker 2: this text that's on the text line to Matt. Did
- 4:55Speaker 2: Matt read Ted Hudson's text? No, because it didn't come
- 5:00Speaker 2: till after the show. Oh okay, So not picking on
- 5:03Speaker 2: Ted at all, but I feel like I want to
- 5:06Speaker 2: read this text on this show because a lot of
- 5:08Speaker 2: our listeners don't realize this is a mass, uniform text line.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Everybody accesses it. So just because you think you're texting
- 5:16Speaker 2: the Morning Show right now, you're actually texting us now.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Even though the Morning Show likes to dibble in the
- 5:21Speaker 2: text line in the afternoon, that's still our text line
- 5:25Speaker 2: right now, Matt Whitt's text line when he does it, it's
- 5:28Speaker 2: everybody's text line. But I like this from Ted, But
- 5:32Speaker 2: I have dark news for Ted. Ted says Matt, not
- 5:38Speaker 2: that I am not Matt, but I'm going to be
- 5:39Speaker 2: right now. My name is Ted Hudson. I'm a longtime listener, forever,
- 5:44Speaker 2: big time Mississippi State fan. My parents were too. Have
- 5:48Speaker 2: not heard any of the other football shows talking about
- 5:52Speaker 2: Mississippi State, have not heard any of the other football
- 5:56Speaker 2: shows talking about how Mississippi State ten years ago in
- 6:00Speaker 2: y fourteen was number one in the nation for five weeks. Well, now,
- 6:04Speaker 2: Ted didn't ask us, but I'm just gonna respond to this.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Why is that relevant today? Is it because we're ten
- 6:11Speaker 2: years removed from that? What do you think Missippi State,
- 6:16Speaker 2: if anything, can do to get back to the point
- 6:18Speaker 2: of being number one or even close to number one.
- 6:21Speaker 2: I really enjoyed being number one, liked having a little
- 6:24Speaker 2: taste of that. And I know I'm not the only
- 6:27Speaker 2: one who wants Missippi State to get back to number one,
- 6:30Speaker 2: and I know you do too. Thanks Ted Hudson. That's
- 6:32Speaker 2: a very passionate text, Ted, it really is. But I
- 6:36Speaker 2: don't know, it's been a while for State to get
- 6:39Speaker 2: back to number one. Hard to believe State was number
- 6:41Speaker 2: one for five weeks though, ten years ago. Gosh, time flies.
- 6:45Speaker 2: So what has Missispi State got to do to get
- 6:48Speaker 2: back to number one?
- 6:49Speaker 3: So?
- 6:50Speaker 2: Hits a lot, It's a lot. I mean, heck right now, oh,
- 6:53Speaker 2: missus trying to get to number one? Isn't that crazy?
- 6:56Speaker 2: Think about that State was number one, almiss was number
- 6:59Speaker 2: three just a few you know, ten years ago. Ten
- 7:03Speaker 2: years forward, Ole Missus got the shot to get to
- 7:07Speaker 2: number one, and that'd be interesting if they got to
- 7:10Speaker 2: number one in the College Football playoff foll ten years later,
- 7:12Speaker 2: Let's go to DJ DJ Happy Tuesday? How are you brother?
- 7:15Speaker 5: Happy Tuesday? I'm glad you declared this less we live
- 7:19Speaker 5: twenty and fourteen?
- 7:21Speaker 2: I'm all in there you go.
- 7:23Speaker 5: How did twenty fourteen one? Let's think about it. How
- 7:27Speaker 5: did it end up at the end?
- 7:29Speaker 6: Oh?
- 7:29Speaker 2: For Misisispi State? Sour taste?
- 7:32Speaker 5: No?
- 7:33Speaker 3: No?
- 7:33Speaker 5: How did this season enden?
- 7:34Speaker 2: Oh Ohio State? The Ohio State buck guys?
- 7:37Speaker 5: Yeah? Well now, and I'm going to ask you this,
- 7:39Speaker 5: and again, I don't want to rain on that guy's
- 7:42Speaker 5: break because I have a degree from Mississippi State. But
- 7:45Speaker 5: let's be honest. Do you remember how Mississippi State became
- 7:48Speaker 5: number one? They beat a Texas A and M that
- 7:51Speaker 5: was thought to be one of the best teams in
- 7:53Speaker 5: the country. They beat A and M badly, and it
- 7:58Speaker 5: probably well then played to the rankings. But I'm gonna
- 8:01Speaker 5: be honest, and you may disagree with this. You remember
- 8:05Speaker 5: State had some key injuries and Ohio State had some
- 8:08Speaker 5: key injuries, and the difference was that Ohio State replaced
- 8:12Speaker 5: the key injuries with people that would later become all
- 8:14Speaker 5: Americans in Mississippi State didn't. I'm gonna be honest, Jake,
- 8:18Speaker 5: and you won't get this out of me much. In
- 8:21Speaker 5: early October, I think Mississippi State could have played with
- 8:25Speaker 5: Ohio State and maybe even to beat them that year. Okay,
- 8:28Speaker 5: that may sound crazy. You won't get that much objectivity
- 8:31Speaker 5: out of me often. But the injury bug, you know,
- 8:35Speaker 5: and that's still the problem in college football. You know,
- 8:38Speaker 5: you still got a handful of teams that have four
- 8:40Speaker 5: and five stars, you know, and the twos and the threes,
- 8:44Speaker 5: and then you have a program like State was in
- 8:47Speaker 5: fourteen before they had you know, some key injuries, they
- 8:50Speaker 5: were silent. But now we'll say this, I think old
- 8:55Speaker 5: miss today is better than State and old Mess was
- 8:58Speaker 5: in twenty fourteen. What do you agree with that?
- 9:01Speaker 2: On paper? Yes? Now we'll see how this. Yes, at
- 9:05Speaker 2: least on paper, they are better than those teams. We'll
- 9:07Speaker 2: see if you know that plays out that way.
- 9:10Speaker 5: I think they got that the depth to they can
- 9:13Speaker 5: jump into it. Of course, I don't have a pullfold
- 9:15Speaker 5: Mess unless they play Alabama. I will pullfold Mess when
- 9:19Speaker 5: they play Alabama. Okay, if I got money on the game.
- 9:21Speaker 5: Other than that, I just don't watch it. But Jake,
- 9:24Speaker 5: love you show man. You always do a great job.
- 9:26Speaker 5: And I did not know to give me the heads up.
- 9:28Speaker 5: We were we were calling this, let's remember twenty fourteen
- 9:32Speaker 5: days because I am all there.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to dedicate that to twenty fourteen because
- 9:35Speaker 2: of Ted. Now possum. Next, Joe tells Ted to put
- 9:38Speaker 2: the pipe down. Do you foresee a day that Missispu
- 9:41Speaker 2: State can get back to number one?
- 9:44Speaker 4: A possible day? Sure, we didn't think it was gonna
- 9:49Speaker 4: happen in twenty fourteen. It could pop up, probably gonna
- 9:54Speaker 4: be a long, long, long time, but could happen well.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Ted said he liked to have an taste of that.
- 10:01Speaker 2: I mean, being number one is nice, right, I mean
- 10:03Speaker 2: I can tell you if you ride with me, you're
- 10:05Speaker 2: probably going to be number one. I was number one
- 10:07Speaker 2: last year with Michigan. It's just what I'm just saying it.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Ted's right, it tastes good. It's wine with Oregon this year.
- 10:14Speaker 2: See you got the green on today, your subliminal messaging
- 10:18Speaker 2: the organ ducks right now? Do you see what Shoudroy
- 10:22Speaker 2: Sanders said, he said, Colorado's number two. Forget the polls.
- 10:26Speaker 2: George's one, Colorado's two. What that's all? He said? Yeah,
- 10:33Speaker 2: I think he was asked about the polls. He said,
- 10:36Speaker 2: George's one and we're two. Put us at two?
- 10:40Speaker 4: Are you really applied a lot of logic and reason
- 10:43Speaker 4: to that one should do? We are brought to you

- 12:10Speaker 2: let's get caught up over here on the text line.
- 12:12Speaker 2: You can text on six zero one eighty five three
- 12:14Speaker 2: seven seven six Tyler Durton, Jake, my name is Tyler Durton,
- 12:18Speaker 2: and no one is talking about how ten years ago
- 12:22Speaker 2: Bubba Smith led five laps at Tyler Daga came in
- 12:26Speaker 2: forty third, but those five laps were awesome. How do
- 12:30Speaker 2: we do it again?
- 12:31Speaker 1: Ted?
- 12:32Speaker 2: Let it go. It wasn't real then, so that is
- 12:36Speaker 2: a shot it. I don't mean you were dragged Ted
- 12:37Speaker 2: into the show, but Ted tech text to text line,
- 12:40Speaker 2: So was it real? Missippi State being number one? Wasn't
- 12:43Speaker 2: it real? Or was it not? Real. I mean they
- 12:47Speaker 2: were there. Oh it happened.
- 12:49Speaker 4: I mean for five weeks in the middle of the season,
- 12:52Speaker 4: so meaningless, but it happened.
- 12:55Speaker 2: It was real. At the time, unnamed Texas State became
- 12:59Speaker 2: number one because Ole Miss beat Bama. That was part
- 13:04Speaker 2: of the equation. Now let's not totally try to take
- 13:08Speaker 2: this away from Misissippi State. They beat Auburn handily, who
- 13:14Speaker 2: was a good team, really good team that year. They
- 13:17Speaker 2: beat an LSU team. They beat a Texas A and
- 13:19Speaker 2: M team that was the lackluster. But you can say
- 13:21Speaker 2: that every year about Texas A and M. They beat
- 13:23Speaker 2: the teams they were supposed to beat to get to
- 13:25Speaker 2: number one. And yes, o Miss beat Alabama as well.
- 13:29Speaker 2: White Denzel Schador's right Colorado was number two, number two
- 13:34Speaker 2: from the bottom of the big twelve in RT. Who
- 13:39Speaker 2: is he? He? I don't even know what he's talking about.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Huh do what there's the top one that informs the
- 13:46Speaker 4: bottom one.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Oh okay, so thank you. I imagine Ted wore number one
- 13:52Speaker 2: on his team's jerseys and his pajamas. He probably beat
- 13:55Speaker 2: up the clerk at the courthouse office when he found
- 13:58Speaker 2: out number one was taken, and he couldn't get his
- 14:02Speaker 2: vanity plate six one eight nine seven one zero five nine.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Let's get to some notes here Rice in Fresno State,
- 14:08Speaker 2: if you care at Home and Home Series twenty twenty
- 14:10Speaker 2: six at Fresno State twenty twenty seven at Rice. Also,
- 14:15Speaker 2: Nebraska coach Matt Rule is talking about some injuries here.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Teddy Prochaska suffered a torn acl Monday and practice. He's
- 14:26Speaker 2: out for the season. Was a primary contender for the
- 14:28Speaker 2: left tackle spot. So Notre Dame and Nebraska have both
- 14:30Speaker 2: lost left tackles during the first week of training camp.
- 14:33Speaker 2: That's very, very tough. Let's go to Rebel Matt, Matt,
- 14:36Speaker 2: welcome in.
- 14:39Speaker 6: I mean, you got me going two and ten. What
- 14:40Speaker 6: the hell else am I supposed to do?
- 14:42Speaker 2: I mean you've given up already. You're you're literally going
- 14:44Speaker 2: in with the Rebel. I know you did rubble that
- 14:45Speaker 2: in the spring.
- 14:47Speaker 6: Can we can we just say, can we agree that
- 14:50Speaker 6: if the Rebels don't do it this year, they're never
- 14:53Speaker 6: doing it? I mean, is this their best shot ever? Well,
- 15:00Speaker 6: I mean they're either gonna do it this year, they're
- 15:01Speaker 6: not gonna next year. They're gonna be garbage. It depends
- 15:05Speaker 6: on what everybody.
- 15:07Speaker 2: I mean, they lose who they buy next year, and
- 15:09Speaker 2: that's for anybody.
- 15:10Speaker 6: Well they might well, I mean, can we agree they
- 15:12Speaker 6: might lose.
- 15:12Speaker 7: Their coach.
- 15:14Speaker 6: Because you know where he might be going. I mean,
- 15:17Speaker 6: if all pro if if the what do you call
- 15:20Speaker 6: your thing, the the Jake Wimberley hourglass or whatever the
- 15:24Speaker 6: hell you call it, if that holds true, I mean
- 15:26Speaker 6: Kiffen might be driving down what is that ninety five South?
- 15:30Speaker 2: Could be very well, could be.
- 15:33Speaker 6: Man, that will be interesting. They want I'll tell you
- 15:35Speaker 6: what I was looking at the schedule. I mean, you know,
- 15:38Speaker 6: for some reason, my TikTok algorithm is just flooded with
- 15:41Speaker 6: all mispredictions, all these yahoos. I don't know what I mean,
- 15:45Speaker 6: I don't know why, but a lot of people got
- 15:48Speaker 6: them going twelve.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Oh they're not gonna go twelve.
- 15:51Speaker 6: I mean their schedule is just I mean, come on,
- 15:55Speaker 6: how does this happen? That's the problem, that's my number
- 15:58Speaker 6: one problem with college at lex is how in the
- 16:01Speaker 6: hell does Florida end up with that schedule and then
- 16:04Speaker 6: Ole miss and Missouri end up with theirs? I mean,
- 16:07Speaker 6: are we supposed to Are we in the same conference?
- 16:09Speaker 2: And what are we doing it is different for sure.
- 16:13Speaker 6: Oh and then and then next year Florida, same schedule.
- 16:16Speaker 8: They just flip it.
- 16:17Speaker 6: I mean, I can't I can't get a break. I
- 16:21Speaker 6: can't get a break. But anyway, look, if ole Miss,
- 16:24Speaker 6: let me tell you some land Shark black Bear fans
- 16:28Speaker 6: wherever you are driving around right now in your white
- 16:31Speaker 6: sub's across Madison County. If you don't win it this year,
- 16:36Speaker 6: we don't want to hear it. It's over. After this year,
- 16:39Speaker 6: it's all over. But look, this is your year, and
- 16:42Speaker 6: I'm pulling for you. Damn it. Rebel Matt out.
- 16:45Speaker 2: See you, Rebel Matt?
- 16:46Speaker 1: Is it their year?
- 16:47Speaker 2: Though? Ohio State thinks it's their year, Georgia thinks it's
- 16:53Speaker 2: their year, Texas thinks it's their year, Oregon thinks it's
- 16:59Speaker 2: theirs should or Sanders thinks it's Colorado's. Whose is it?
- 17:05Speaker 2: Whose year is it? Heck, Bama fans think they're not
- 17:07Speaker 2: going anywhere. You've even got a beat writer for Vandy
- 17:12Speaker 2: who picked them to win the SEC. He's delusional too,
- 17:15Speaker 2: So whose year is is it?
- 17:16Speaker 1: Really?
- 17:17Speaker 2: Like banger bust pro miss, are we really fixing to
- 17:19Speaker 2: go national championship? Or are they going to Ohio State,
- 17:23Speaker 2: following their former athletics director Rossbure. That's the feeling I've
- 17:28Speaker 2: been getting. We may want to slow this thing down
- 17:33Speaker 2: just a little bit.
- 17:35Speaker 4: Really, now, now you want to say that? How many
- 17:38Speaker 4: times have I said that? How long have I been
- 17:41Speaker 4: saying that this entire offseason? And you have been feeding
- 17:44Speaker 4: into it? Are you kidding me? You're telling me things
- 17:47Speaker 4: like history doesn't matter, and transfer portal and all this stuff,
- 17:52Speaker 4: and now all of a sudden out of nowhere April,
- 17:55Speaker 4: I mean August eighth. I'm back in April now, sixth,
- 17:58Speaker 4: August sixth, ahead of time. What's happening here?
- 18:02Speaker 2: Now? You say slow it down?
- 18:04Speaker 4: Well, but when I said at one thousand and seventeen
- 18:07Speaker 4: times already, no, no, no reason to slow this train down.
- 18:12Speaker 2: I think double digit wins are on the table, a
- 18:16Speaker 2: playoff berth is on the table. But we can't let
- 18:20Speaker 2: this thing get to Ohio State levels of craziness that
- 18:25Speaker 2: they have to. This is it. You gotta win it.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Let's win a playoff game first, can we do that?
- 18:33Speaker 2: Let's get there, you gotta just get there. Remember nobody's
- 18:36Speaker 2: made the twelve team playoff yet. Let's see here real quick.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Let me get one text In Bama fans think it's
- 18:47Speaker 2: their year every year. Yes they do, They really really do, Truro.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Nobody is talking about how slim and sexy I was
- 18:54Speaker 2: ten years ago. Now I just get fat jokes like
- 18:58Speaker 2: churo chestnut and high calorie human don't know that last
- 19:03Speaker 2: time I got a look from a ball. I'll fee
- 19:08Speaker 2: you there, brother. Let's go to Brian. Brian, welcome in, Hey.
- 19:12Speaker 9: Jake, how are you good?
- 19:13Speaker 1: Brother?
- 19:13Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 19:14Speaker 10: Man?
- 19:14Speaker 11: I much just just have to be driving through Jackson
- 19:17Speaker 11: and caught your show and I actually do miss this somehow,
- 19:21Speaker 11: But I'm a great show.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Great, Thank you, sir.
- 19:24Speaker 11: Did I not tell you how the GAFFC season ended
- 19:27Speaker 11: last year?
- 19:28Speaker 2: You did not?
- 19:30Speaker 5: Oh man?
- 19:31Speaker 11: Somehow we snuck in the playoffs in the fourth seed,
- 19:34Speaker 11: travel to Albany, Georgia win, traveled Daphney, Alabama win, then
- 19:38Speaker 11: lose in Montgomery, Alabama two to one on a ninetieth
- 19:42Speaker 11: minute PK. But anyway, there's that, But onto bigger and
- 19:47Speaker 11: better things for you. How good do you think my
- 19:51Speaker 11: LSU Tigers.
- 19:52Speaker 5: Are going to be this year?
- 19:53Speaker 2: I think they got a chance to be pretty good.
- 19:55Speaker 2: I mean, I've got to winning nine to ten ball games.
- 19:57Speaker 2: But that's right there with a whole slew of other teams.
- 20:00Speaker 2: If the defense is better, and it's it's hard to
- 20:03Speaker 2: say that should be. It shouldn't be worse. It can't
- 20:06Speaker 2: be worse, you know, it's hard.
- 20:07Speaker 11: To literally literally it can't be worse.
- 20:10Speaker 2: It's hard to think that the offense, uh would be
- 20:13Speaker 2: as good. But I think they got a chance to
- 20:14Speaker 2: be pretty darn good. So when I think the schedule
- 20:16Speaker 2: sets up well for LSU, and you know, we'll see
- 20:19Speaker 2: what happens. I mean, a lot of people aren't putting
- 20:20Speaker 2: them in the playoff, but they have a shot to
- 20:22Speaker 2: get there.
- 20:24Speaker 11: Yeah, so well I think we're in there.
- 20:28Speaker 6: But that's just me.
- 20:29Speaker 11: But the offense is going to be good and the
- 20:34Speaker 11: defense is going to be better. If the defense makes
- 20:36Speaker 11: it to number thirty five or forty in the nation,
- 20:39Speaker 11: we're gonna win. We're gonna win ten games, there's no
- 20:41Speaker 11: doubt about it. And I don't think Alabama's going to
- 20:44Speaker 11: be very good. Just just an opinion. That's probably just
- 20:47Speaker 11: a hope, but I don't think they'd be very good.
- 20:50Speaker 11: And this old missing I want to I want to
- 20:53Speaker 11: see this. I want to see how this pans out
- 20:55Speaker 11: because it's going to be it's a it's gonna be
- 20:59Speaker 11: either big time for a big disaster. In my opinion,
- 21:03Speaker 11: it's going to be either all that or an absolute
- 21:07Speaker 11: frame break, and I'm here for it. I'm a great Dave.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Thanks Brian, appreciate it. Don't be a stranger. Six hour

- 22:27Speaker 2: welcome in. How are you?
- 22:29Speaker 1: I'm good.
- 22:30Speaker 7: We are five days in the camp, and I'm telling you,
- 22:32Speaker 7: as much as I would like to watch more practice,
- 22:35Speaker 7: we appreciate the time that Jefflaby has given us, but
- 22:38Speaker 7: more so these morning interviews have really freed Steve myself,
- 22:43Speaker 7: justin everyone to get these stories out. Mike has's Q
- 22:45Speaker 7: and A up and almost immediately we're just blowing the
- 22:49Speaker 7: coverage out on football camp. And I just got to
- 22:52Speaker 7: say that, you know, whereas a year ago it was
- 22:55Speaker 7: a lot of hopeful in terms of more like wishful talk,
- 23:00Speaker 7: the talk we've heard so far, we've not had a
- 23:02Speaker 7: bad interview. The players have been uniformly agreeable to speak
- 23:06Speaker 7: with us. They've understood our questions, they've answered our questions,
- 23:09Speaker 7: which isn't always the case. They've ofverd some insights. They
- 23:12Speaker 7: even had some fun Like I interviewed today with mckaylon Pounders,
- 23:16Speaker 7: the offensive line and transfer Memphis. He was entertaining a
- 23:19Speaker 7: transfer Ethan minor. He's already become my favorite bulldog on
- 23:22Speaker 7: this team with his dry sense of humor. Blake Shapan
- 23:25Speaker 7: has been great. Trevian Williams, Yesterday was great. It's kind
- 23:29Speaker 7: of getting spoiled. We're hoping these guys don't get burned
- 23:31Speaker 7: out as camp proceeds. But tomorrow the hitting starts, so
- 23:35Speaker 7: we'll see how they proceed from there.
- 23:37Speaker 2: So, David, it sounds like, obviously there's a new new
- 23:39Speaker 2: energy and a lot of times you get that with
- 23:41Speaker 2: the new coaching staff. You hope that's what you definitely
- 23:44Speaker 2: want to get, especially coming off of your like Misissippi
- 23:46Speaker 2: State had what is some observations obviously that and these
- 23:49Speaker 2: are small. It may seem like small observations, but I
- 23:52Speaker 2: think they're big observations. Just what you said, players are
- 23:54Speaker 2: moving around, players are talking, They're willing to talk to you.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Maybe they didn't happen last year with the media. Coaches
- 24:01Speaker 2: seem energized. What's some other things that you have noticed,
- 24:04Speaker 2: maybe on the field or even off the field.
- 24:06Speaker 7: Okay, I'm going to give you just one small example
- 24:08Speaker 7: out of many, and I talked about it in yesterday's notebook.
- 24:11Speaker 7: While we're watching practice, I focused on the defensive side
- 24:14Speaker 7: of the ball. They did a lot of special teams
- 24:16Speaker 7: drills about not just blocking kicks, how to go cover kicks.
- 24:19Speaker 7: But when they turned over to the ball security and
- 24:23Speaker 7: turnover drills, here's one example. Every turnover to be forced.
- 24:27Speaker 7: You couldn't just stop with that. You were to get
- 24:30Speaker 7: the ball and do something with it, whether it was
- 24:32Speaker 7: a lineman having to run twenty yards to scoop a ball.
- 24:34Speaker 7: And by the way, some of these guys have pretty
- 24:36Speaker 7: good hands. I noticed the guys like Williams and Dinkins
- 24:39Speaker 7: and others. But it's an emphasis on don't just take
- 24:43Speaker 7: what you have immediately, try to turn it into something more. Again,
- 24:47Speaker 7: that's a little thing. How often can that happen during
- 24:50Speaker 7: the course of a season? Usually not often, but hey,
- 24:52Speaker 7: I go back to nineteen ninety eight when how many
- 24:54Speaker 7: points did the state's defense score because they had an
- 24:57Speaker 7: attitude of let's do something with the ball. That's just
- 25:00Speaker 7: one small thing. I noticed that the translation has been
- 25:04Speaker 7: and to me, that's reflection of the entire staff. Offense,
- 25:07Speaker 7: defense special teams. Do something a little more with the
- 25:11Speaker 7: ball than just doing your job. Yeah, do your job,
- 25:14Speaker 7: but do something else when you have the opportunity to
- 25:16Speaker 7: make something happen. I think that's an attitude being infused
- 25:19Speaker 7: by this staff.
- 25:21Speaker 2: David Burry on your radio Tuesday edition of the program
- 25:23Speaker 2: talking Missippi State camp dogs are excuse me, five days
- 25:26Speaker 2: in as Mississippi State like others, eye on the end
- 25:29Speaker 2: of the month to start the twenty twenty four season.
- 25:31Speaker 2: All right, so blake shape and have you formulated in
- 25:34Speaker 2: an opinion one way or the other. I know, like
- 25:36Speaker 2: you said, they've got to pads tomorrow, there'll be some scrimmages.
- 25:38Speaker 2: See what those numbers look like, and continue this thing forward.
- 25:42Speaker 7: He's good. I can stop right there.
- 25:45Speaker 2: He's good.
- 25:46Speaker 7: But I won't stop right there now. He's just got
- 25:50Speaker 7: the presence with the ball making the calls.
- 25:52Speaker 3: Now.
- 25:53Speaker 7: I haven't seen any eleven on eleven and I'll be
- 25:55Speaker 7: honest about that. But still just watching the drills, there's
- 25:58Speaker 7: a poise, there's a level of being in control of
- 26:01Speaker 7: a guy who knows that he was signed to have
- 26:04Speaker 7: this job, But at the same time, he's not just
- 26:06Speaker 7: taking it for granted. He's working to be in a
- 26:09Speaker 7: better quarterback because he knows he has to be better
- 26:11Speaker 7: here than he was at Baylor, given the quality of
- 26:14Speaker 7: defenses he's going to see, and just the fact that
- 26:16Speaker 7: Mississippi State is going to have to outscore a lot
- 26:19Speaker 7: of people this year on the schedule. So I like
- 26:22Speaker 7: the way he throws the ball. I like the decision making,
- 26:24Speaker 7: the way he delivers it. That said, I think Chris
- 26:27Speaker 7: Parson has made a good bit of progress. Still a
- 26:29Speaker 7: little foot happy to my eye, he just seems so
- 26:32Speaker 7: much more comfortable moving and then throwing, which I'm not
- 26:35Speaker 7: sure is a really good mix most of the time
- 26:38Speaker 7: for this offense. Michael van Buren, his ball tends to
- 26:42Speaker 7: float a little bit. But I'm going to say this
- 26:45Speaker 7: at that he is so far ahead of most freshman
- 26:48Speaker 7: quarterbacks I've seen here, and I've seen some good ones
- 26:50Speaker 7: over the years. That guy in time, and now he's
- 26:55Speaker 7: got time.
- 26:55Speaker 8: To get good.
- 26:56Speaker 7: He doesn't have to force anything right now. So I
- 26:59Speaker 7: like what Levy and Matt Holchak is doing with the
- 27:03Speaker 7: quarterbacks and just the attitude installed. And you know you
- 27:05Speaker 7: can read some of our coverage on that from this
- 27:07Speaker 7: past week, the interviews with Shapin and his quarterback coach
- 27:10Speaker 7: as well. Now that's that's what stands out about Shaping
- 27:13Speaker 7: and I'm going to, by the way, I'll pass them
- 27:15Speaker 7: something too. That from this morning's interview with Pounders specifically, well,
- 27:19Speaker 7: he asked him about a bunch that doesn't get asked
- 27:21Speaker 7: about much, the quarterbacks. I'm sorry, the running backs. What's
- 27:24Speaker 7: happening there? And uniformly these guys, say Davon Booth, the
- 27:27Speaker 7: summer transfer that state picked up very late in the process,
- 27:30Speaker 7: not here in spring. They're expecting big things out of
- 27:33Speaker 7: this guy as an immediate addition to that backfield, David.
- 27:37Speaker 2: When you look at the pass catchers, they're going to
- 27:39Speaker 2: be young. There's some transfer potential there as well. Just
- 27:43Speaker 2: I mean in Shales seven on seven, it's like you said,
- 27:46Speaker 2: it's different than what you will say whenever once you
- 27:48Speaker 2: get the pads on. But what are you what are
- 27:49Speaker 2: you saying out of that unit.
- 27:52Speaker 7: Athleticism. I think there's gonna be more high pointed balls
- 27:56Speaker 7: this year. There's some guys who can just go up
- 27:58Speaker 7: and get it or take it away from into players.
- 28:00Speaker 7: In fact, some of the drills they've done, or specifically
- 28:02Speaker 7: that where the ball is kind of lobbed in the
- 28:04Speaker 7: direction and they've got to go out fight somebody. They're
- 28:08Speaker 7: not given any kind of slack in that regard. You
- 28:11Speaker 7: see some Will Coleman, Kelly Acari, those guys have step
- 28:16Speaker 7: right in. They're gonna be really good at starting position.
- 28:19Speaker 7: But some of the young guys and Mary Okraver, I
- 28:22Speaker 7: just watched that guy and he's going to have a
- 28:25Speaker 7: role on special teams as well. I see the explosiveness
- 28:28Speaker 7: he could be bringing to the game as he develops
- 28:29Speaker 7: and learns what to do at a wide receiver position.
- 28:32Speaker 7: Of course, Creed put them more. Is just going to
- 28:34Speaker 7: be really good and solid and kind of sneaky working
- 28:36Speaker 7: out of those slot spots. Have not been a chance
- 28:39Speaker 7: to watch much of anything with the tight end so far.
- 28:41Speaker 7: We just, like I said, limited times, so you go
- 28:43Speaker 7: to the obvious positions. They've got a variet JJ Harrell
- 28:46Speaker 7: I cannot go without mentioning him as well. They have
- 28:49Speaker 7: a variety of transfers, but also some returning guys with
- 28:53Speaker 7: a little bit of experience and some new kids that
- 28:55Speaker 7: are coming in. This Receiver Corps has been entirely revamped
- 28:58Speaker 7: in the space of just one year, and to me,
- 29:01Speaker 7: that may be the most amazing thing done by this
- 29:03Speaker 7: staff in less than a year on the job.
- 29:07Speaker 2: They have a final question for you. I think you
- 29:09Speaker 2: and Ben were probably talking or we're talking about this.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Brandon Marcello reports for six million FIU stadium. Well, I'll
- 29:15Speaker 2: be called Pitbull Stadium. We've got Ohio State publicly talking
- 29:18Speaker 2: about naming rights. The Big twelve is talking about naming rights.
- 29:22Speaker 2: How quickly does this come not only to the Southeastern
- 29:24Speaker 2: Conference maybe, but to the state of Mississippi.
- 29:27Speaker 7: Well, look at it this way. With the twenty seven
- 29:29Speaker 7: Mexican restaurants we now have in start Bull, maybe we
- 29:32Speaker 7: can get them to go together and put some naming
- 29:34Speaker 7: rights on Scott Field or Okay, I'm joking. I mean
- 29:38Speaker 7: me personally preferred to me little Dewey's because theyre long
- 29:41Speaker 7: time here are Harvey's people like that. No, that's a
- 29:43Speaker 7: real thing that's going to happen because right now with
- 29:46Speaker 7: the house haircut patting in that phrase, by the way,
- 29:49Speaker 7: coming I was talking to a staff member yesterday in
- 29:52Speaker 7: the athletic department, and they are concerned now that when
- 29:56Speaker 7: athletic departments start looking at some of the hires they've
- 29:59Speaker 7: made recently, least some of the travel plans they've made
- 30:01Speaker 7: for teams, and now all of a sudden, you're going
- 30:04Speaker 7: to lop twenty million or more off the budget money
- 30:07Speaker 7: that never shows up from the conference. You're gonna either
- 30:10Speaker 7: have to make some serious cuts or find new revenue
- 30:13Speaker 7: streams are more likely both. I think everybody's gonna end
- 30:17Speaker 7: up cutting some of these positions just in hired. That's
- 30:19Speaker 7: kind of a tragedy because people get into the game
- 30:22Speaker 7: to be a part of it, and now their jobs
- 30:25Speaker 7: may go away because you just don't have the funding part.
- 30:27Speaker 7: A lot of facilities projects are going to be really
- 30:30Speaker 7: put back. I know Davis wayte Staium is going to
- 30:32Speaker 7: get a new sound system, new lighting, but any major
- 30:35Speaker 7: renovations and additions are on pause right now because you
- 30:39Speaker 7: don't know what the budget's going to be like for
- 30:40Speaker 7: a couple of years ahead. So if they can scramble
- 30:43Speaker 7: a few million out of naming rights, you're darn right
- 30:46Speaker 7: they're going to do that, no pun intended. And you
- 30:49Speaker 7: know I'm old enough Jake. Actually, I'm just old enough
- 30:52Speaker 7: a period I can stop there. But I go back
- 30:54Speaker 7: to when Bjorn Borg started wearing a Tuborg headband and
- 30:58Speaker 7: tennis and all the all the purists were a gas
- 31:01Speaker 7: about advertising on athletes. Well, we've come a long way
- 31:05Speaker 7: in fifty years now, sooner or later players are going
- 31:08Speaker 7: to be wearing these things NIL patches. They're on sponsors
- 31:11Speaker 7: kind of a way for us to track it. I'm
- 31:13Speaker 7: not being stilly exaggerating. You're gonna have to find the
- 31:17Speaker 7: money because fans are getting tapped out with the prices
- 31:20Speaker 7: of tickets, the what you have to pay just to
- 31:22Speaker 7: buy a ticket, never mind the ticket itself, the premium seating,
- 31:26Speaker 7: all sorts of things, and now you're asking fans to
- 31:29Speaker 7: contribute it to NIL as well as beating the booster club.
- 31:33Speaker 7: Colleges have got to find new sources of revenue that
- 31:35Speaker 7: they can really count on for a long time coming.
- 31:39Speaker 7: So naming rights may be one of the easier, shorter
- 31:42Speaker 7: term ways to get it done. And what's the local guy, Hardy,
- 31:48Speaker 7: Maybe he wants to sign up for naming rest er season.
- 31:50Speaker 7: Maybe they rotate it by month. This month's football brought
- 31:53Speaker 7: to you by Little Deweyes.
- 31:55Speaker 8: I could go for that.

- 33:21Speaker 2: Let me get these text here in just a bit.
- 33:22Speaker 2: But first, Brandon Marcelo, I know you know this some
- 33:25Speaker 2: way out there may not. For six million dollars, FIU
- 33:28Speaker 2: Stadium that's Florida International University will be called pit Bulls
- 33:32Speaker 2: Stadium for the next five years. Also, Pitbull is now
- 33:36Speaker 2: quote official entrepreneur of FIU Athletics. Pitbull gets to use
- 33:42Speaker 2: pit Bull Stadium for ten days per year. Who is
- 33:46Speaker 2: this pit Bull? I kind of not. Is he a rapper?
- 33:48Speaker 5: What is he?
- 33:49Speaker 2: What does he do? I don't even know what this
- 33:50Speaker 2: man is. Yes he is.
- 33:53Speaker 4: He's had many terrible songs. And I thought we had
- 33:56Speaker 4: finally left long ago. I thought we had left our
- 34:00Speaker 4: pit Bull phase along with our LMFAO phase.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Oh I remember those guys.
- 34:06Speaker 4: But then all of a sudden last month at that
- 34:10Speaker 4: SEC network, well you know, Texas, Welcome to the League special.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Oh here's there's a Pitbull concert coming up.
- 34:17Speaker 4: But now this today, Pitbull Stadium. Be ashamed of yourselves.
- 34:24Speaker 4: You have named your stadium after Pitbull, the master of
- 34:30Speaker 4: such genius lyrics like the bigger they are, the harder
- 34:34Speaker 4: they fall.
- 34:34Speaker 2: This biggoty boy's a diggity dog. Really, that's it. That's
- 34:40Speaker 2: that's lyrics in his songs, like just one snippet.
- 34:44Speaker 4: Yep, that's that's just from one song. It's never ending
- 34:47Speaker 4: use of I missed a three h five dollar.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Hence, the Volley three oh five vodka, which is owned
- 34:56Speaker 2: by pit Bull, will be the preferred brand distribut if
- 35:00Speaker 2: you did drink in the stadium. Pitbull affiliated performers can
- 35:05Speaker 2: perform halftime in postgame shows. Two football suites for Pitbull.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Pit Pull may create a FIU anthem. Pit Bull will
- 35:16Speaker 2: create twelve social media posts per year about FIU, and
- 35:20Speaker 2: he will appear at one athletics fundraiser event each year.
- 35:23Speaker 2: There is a statement to hear from that I'm not
- 35:25Speaker 2: going to bore you with from the board of trustees.
- 35:30Speaker 2: What in the world is FIU doing? Are they that?
- 35:32Speaker 2: I guess they're that desperate for six million dollars Resdog
- 35:38Speaker 2: Wilson know what, David Murray sounds like he's listening to
- 35:41Speaker 2: nursery rhymes and can't wait to watch all miss these
- 35:43Speaker 2: three games. You know, I think David may have been
- 35:47Speaker 2: onto something though. You might as well embrace this. He
- 35:49Speaker 2: referenced Mexican restaurants. And I'm not kidding when I say this.
- 35:52Speaker 2: If you are MISSI BEI stated, or anybody, and you
- 35:54Speaker 2: could broke her a deal with like this massive Mexican
- 35:58Speaker 2: restaurant chained. Think about it this. If they're going to
- 36:01Speaker 2: give you, let's just say ten million dollars, I would
- 36:03Speaker 2: put a sombrero on the west side of the stadium,
- 36:07Speaker 2: this massive sombrero. Maybe retro fit that portion of the
- 36:12Speaker 2: stadium to this massive, wide, open Mexican restaurant where you've
- 36:17Speaker 2: got just like Margarita's flowing through these big veins. I
- 36:20Speaker 2: would sell a swimming pool in one of the end zones.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Why not just break the whole thing up? You know that,
- 36:27Speaker 2: you know what we're becoming the XFL. This is becoming
- 36:31Speaker 2: the first XFL, is it not? How so why XFL?
- 36:39Speaker 2: Because we you've got to get creator Like, first off,
- 36:42Speaker 2: did you ever think somebody named pitt Bull would be
- 36:45Speaker 2: named a state. We've been named the stadium after. Remember
- 36:49Speaker 2: the XFL they had the big swimming pool in the
- 36:51Speaker 2: end with the the chakuz. Yeah, you could sell that name.
- 36:56Speaker 2: It give fans an opportunity to buy, to be partake
- 37:00Speaker 2: in that. Like, we've got to get creative with the revenue.
- 37:06Speaker 2: What do you think?
- 37:07Speaker 3: Nah?
- 37:07Speaker 4: You know fourth Miami Marlins did that too. How that
- 37:11Speaker 4: work out for him?
- 37:12Speaker 2: They did do that? I forgot about that. Let's see
- 37:15Speaker 2: here real quick, Rtie. I'm guessing Matt isn't a rebel.
- 37:22Speaker 2: He's the idiot at the bar who wants pity for
- 37:26Speaker 2: losing a five team parlay earlier in the day. And
- 37:29Speaker 2: does it talk a to a female all night? Else,
- 37:32Speaker 2: says Beaver, just put quote the hammer his new nickname
- 37:36Speaker 2: on Pitbull aka French Bulldog. Let's go to Levier, Levier.
- 37:39Speaker 12: Welcome in, good afternoon, gentlemen, ghost saints. So uh yeah,
- 37:46Speaker 12: you are right. You struck a chord with me when
- 37:49Speaker 12: you said this is all turning into XFL. All of it,
- 37:53Speaker 12: and I mean all of it is a cash grab.
- 37:58Speaker 2: It is.
- 37:59Speaker 12: I love. I love the NFL. I like it more
- 38:03Speaker 12: than I liked college football, even when my kids were
- 38:07Speaker 12: going to college and I was going to games, even
- 38:09Speaker 12: when Sadik was on the Tigers. Then we'd go to
- 38:13Speaker 12: the games and it was big time, huge, giant national
- 38:17Speaker 12: championship college football. I like pro game better because the
- 38:22Speaker 12: best people play and it's for money. That said, in
- 38:28Speaker 12: the NFL, there's really about eight teams, maybe ten, that
- 38:32Speaker 12: have an actual chance that Manhattan, the suits in Manhattan
- 38:37Speaker 12: will allow a chance to win it all. Other than that,
- 38:41Speaker 12: the rest is simply entertainment. This is entertainment. You don't
- 38:46Speaker 12: have a chance to win. Bulldog fans and my kids
- 38:51Speaker 12: both went to state. Pay your money to be entertained.
- 38:56Speaker 12: You're not gonna win.
- 38:57Speaker 2: You can't.
- 38:58Speaker 12: You have no chance. They're not gonna let you. It's
- 39:01Speaker 12: not that your team's not good. Your team can be good.
- 39:04Speaker 12: They're not gonna let Starkville win a national championship. It's
- 39:08Speaker 12: just not entertainment for the suits. I'm starting to disclose
- 39:13Speaker 12: this to everyone. Maybe your show is now over. It
- 39:16Speaker 12: should be called something other than sports, because it's really
- 39:20Speaker 12: just a movie.
- 39:24Speaker 6: Food for thought, very much.
- 39:27Speaker 2: Used to blow my mind.
- 39:28Speaker 12: Well, well it's not the first time anybody's ever said
- 39:32Speaker 12: it or thought it or whatever. It is entertainment. I
- 39:36Speaker 12: pay a lot of money to go down to New
- 39:37Speaker 12: Orleans and watch the terrible football or great football, and
- 39:43Speaker 12: at the end, yay, we've got a chance to win.
- 39:45Speaker 12: Oh we lost. Happens every time. So what I you know,
- 39:50Speaker 12: I throw my money at it, and other people do too.
- 39:52Speaker 12: It's entertainment. It entertains me. Brown men play and tackle football.
- 40:00Speaker 12: It keep doing it now it's just for more money,
- 40:04Speaker 12: all right. Love your show, Olivia, Saints Go, Tom Cruise
- 40:10Speaker 12: and whoever else. Nicholas Cage in a football uniform?
- 40:14Speaker 2: Love it, Thanks, Levia, I appreciate it. That got weird.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Nicholas Cage, Tom Cruise in a football uniform. That would
- 40:21Speaker 2: be a weird movie. Were brought to you by Mark A.

- 41:45Speaker 2: Bull says, if you've been down to down Bourbon Street,
- 41:48Speaker 2: you've heard a terrible pitbull song. Buffalo Chris, he said
- 41:55Speaker 2: that to my pitbull I guess he owns two Nascars.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Daniel Sarez is one of his driver's track house racing.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Did you know that? I did not know this, But
- 42:06Speaker 2: I don't know a lot about this guy. Brad says
- 42:09Speaker 2: his name is nickname is mister worldwide and unnamed Texas
- 42:15Speaker 2: to sound like state has no weakness, I wouldn't say that.
- 42:18Speaker 2: David gave a good report on that, Lesie. Andrew Lane
- 42:24Speaker 2: isn't jumping ship to Florida. He's in a place he's
- 42:28Speaker 2: proven he can recruit to. He's built a perennial nine
- 42:32Speaker 2: to ten win team. He's also in a place where
- 42:36Speaker 2: he won't be fired for winning seven in a down year.
- 42:40Speaker 2: He's one of the highest paid coaches with the highest
- 42:42Speaker 2: paid staff in the nation. It does not make sense
- 42:46Speaker 2: to me that he would leave that situation to go
- 42:48Speaker 2: somewhere that puts him on the hot seat during year one. Now, Andrew,
- 42:52Speaker 2: everything that you just said is absolutely for the most
- 42:55Speaker 2: part true. And I say for the most part because
- 42:59Speaker 2: you are thinking rationally and also as a fan. Coaches
- 43:04Speaker 2: don't do that. Coaches look for the next best thing,
- 43:09Speaker 2: all things created equal. If both engines are running at
- 43:15Speaker 2: full speed, what's the better place, Florida or ole Miss, Florida, Florida.
- 43:25Speaker 2: No it's not. Yes it is. Steve Spury approved it
- 43:28Speaker 2: or Remy approved it. If all things are Jim Micklewayne
- 43:34Speaker 2: won double digit games there, all things created equals. So
- 43:37Speaker 2: what happens is coaches get bored. Coaches want another challenge.
- 43:46Speaker 2: They may look at this this year. If Ole Miss
- 43:48Speaker 2: goes to the college football Playoff and they get bounced
- 43:50Speaker 2: in round one, Kiffin may look at it. Go I've
- 43:52Speaker 2: done all I can here, I've done all I can
- 43:55Speaker 2: I've literally exhausted everything right here. We went into the portal,
- 43:59Speaker 2: we did all this stuff. I want something different goes
- 44:03Speaker 2: on all the time. Dan Mullen did it. If I
- 44:06Speaker 2: mean Dan Mullan. A lot of people said he was
- 44:07Speaker 2: a fool to leave Misssippi State because he would have
- 44:10Speaker 2: never gotten fired. Coaches look for different things. Do you
- 44:15Speaker 2: agree to disagree?
- 44:16Speaker 4: I agree with that, but more so than the challenge part.
- 44:22Speaker 4: Let's also remember that they really just want money too.
- 44:25Speaker 4: How you can offer me three more million?
- 44:28Speaker 2: Done? I'm coming, You're right, I mean yeah. It almost
- 44:33Speaker 2: pays him handsomely. It's one of the top paying jobs
- 44:35Speaker 2: in the country, but you can say that about most
- 44:37Speaker 2: Southeastern Conference school jobs now, so not saying, look, he
- 44:42Speaker 2: may be it almost for twenty years, doubtful coaches don't
- 44:45Speaker 2: do that anymore. So it's just it's something to watch.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Possum neck Joe, I agree with you, Shador, Yes, I
- 44:55Speaker 2: don't know, Joe. You're in is still number one and
- 44:58Speaker 2: your number two. Did you see Chiro's text? I want
- 45:01Speaker 2: to make sure you saw Turo's text. I think you
- 45:03Speaker 2: were grabbing a phone caller too. Turo says nobody because
- 45:06Speaker 2: he was going back to the guy that texts Matt Show.
- 45:09Speaker 2: He said, nobody is talking about how slim and sexy
- 45:12Speaker 2: I was ten years ago. Now I just get fat
- 45:15Speaker 2: jokes like truro chestnut, high calorie. Humans don't know that
- 45:20Speaker 2: last time I got a look from a pog. So
- 45:25Speaker 2: Tiro's said, hey, look, ten years ago, I was there.
- 45:28Speaker 2: I was that guy RTE guy missed that day in class,
- 45:36Speaker 2: and he gives us a definition of perennial. All right,
- 45:42Speaker 2: did you see what your boy Jim Harball did or
- 45:46Speaker 2: what he said about this Michigan situation. So Jim Harball,
- 45:53Speaker 2: who is quote unquote the Michigan man who just won
- 45:59Speaker 2: a national championship. Yep, left Michigan. He's now the head
- 46:02Speaker 2: football coach for the Los Angeles. No, no, no, can't
- 46:05Speaker 2: do that San Diego Chargers. It will always be the
- 46:07Speaker 2: San Diego Chargers. Chimed in on this whole deal now
- 46:10Speaker 2: going on at Michigan, with it not only Connor Stallions,
- 46:13Speaker 2: but Searon Moore and all the stuff there. He says today,
- 46:17Speaker 2: I do not apologize. I did not participate, was not
- 46:24Speaker 2: aware nor complicit in those set allegations. So for it's
- 46:31Speaker 2: back to work and attacking with enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
- 46:37Speaker 2: He literally just threw Michigan right under the bus and said,
- 46:41Speaker 2: I don't know what y'all talking about. I had nothing
- 46:44Speaker 2: to do with any of that. Y'all can suck my
- 46:47Speaker 2: big toe. I'm over here building an NFL team. Now,
- 46:51Speaker 2: y'all deal with it. Are you surprised?
- 46:53Speaker 4: No, Now he's really going to take this to the grave,
- 46:57Speaker 4: which I mean, you know, it's it's always compared to
- 47:00Speaker 4: the Pete Carroll situation when he left USC And unless
- 47:05Speaker 4: I miss something huge, Pete Carroll, you know, he never
- 47:07Speaker 4: he never fessed up to it. He never mentioned it again.
- 47:10Speaker 4: So I'm not saying, it's this this terrible thing that
- 47:16Speaker 4: you know that you that you don't mention it, but
- 47:20Speaker 4: you are a liar, dude. You were out there still
- 47:24Speaker 4: like to double down today. I am not apologizing all
- 47:28Speaker 4: this stuff yet you knew, you knew, and but the
- 47:31Speaker 4: part I hated the most.
- 47:32Speaker 2: Though.
- 47:34Speaker 4: That's the second time we've heard him use that stupid
- 47:37Speaker 4: new phrase of his. He So that tells me he
- 47:40Speaker 4: believes that he is about to form a catchphrase with that.
- 47:45Speaker 4: When was the other time. I think it was at
- 47:48Speaker 4: his press conference when he came to the charges. If
- 47:50Speaker 4: I remember when he said attack he Oh, he was
- 47:53Speaker 4: talking about I woke up this morning, I was staring
- 47:56Speaker 4: at the ceiling and I was just thinking, you know,
- 47:59Speaker 4: today's a great, great opportunity to attack.
- 48:04Speaker 2: What was the exact words he says, quote, it's time
- 48:08Speaker 2: to get back to work. And here's the quote. I
- 48:10Speaker 2: think you're looking for, attacking with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Yeah.
- 48:15Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the second time earlier this spring he used it.
- 48:18Speaker 4: He's trying to make that a thing. He used his
- 48:22Speaker 4: grandstanding to further lie about his knowledge at the Michigan
- 48:26Speaker 4: stuff to try to promote this as a catchphrase. He's
- 48:30Speaker 4: gonna market this. This is gonna be on T shirts
- 48:33Speaker 4: and whatnot. It sounded dumb to begin with, but he
- 48:38Speaker 4: just used it again today out of nowhere. So in
- 48:42Speaker 4: Jim Harbaugh's brain it would be like this. And I'm
- 48:46Speaker 4: totally making this up. Today, I sat down and ate
- 48:50Speaker 4: a burrito in a Chimmy Changa at the local Mexican restaurant.
- 48:54Speaker 4: When I took a sip of water, I stared at
- 48:56Speaker 4: the wall and I saw something that reminded me I
- 48:59Speaker 4: need to attack with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
- 49:02Speaker 2: Yeah, we can use this all day.
- 49:05Speaker 4: He apparently he's gonna drop it in anywhere, so apparently
- 49:08Speaker 4: we can too.
- 49:10Speaker 2: I think we should. I may tag the end of
- 49:12Speaker 2: the show with it. No, see, now I'm getting too
- 49:14Speaker 2: long at the end of the show. It's too much.
- 49:18Speaker 2: Just man, Okay.
- 49:19Speaker 4: You know what, though, now we've uncovered something else here
- 49:23Speaker 4: you Now, I've now realized you have this. This what
- 49:33Speaker 4: am I looking for?
- 49:34Speaker 2: You?
- 49:35Speaker 13: Love?
- 49:35Speaker 11: Now?
- 49:35Speaker 4: Though, anything you hear some jackassy athlete or coach say
- 49:41Speaker 4: that's super jackassy. Now you want to attach it to
- 49:44Speaker 4: the end of the show. Jamis Winston, sexual predator who
- 49:49Speaker 4: drops his man of increase, and that very day you
- 49:53Speaker 4: couldn't wait. I'm working into it in the show. Now
- 49:56Speaker 4: you want to put this nonsense in there.
- 50:00Speaker 2: It's just to remind people how big a nonsense it is,
- 50:02Speaker 2: so look to programming. Note moving forward, If anyone starts
- 50:09Speaker 2: to wonder why the last ten seconds of the show
- 50:13Speaker 2: coming up every day from now on gets cut off,
- 50:16Speaker 2: is because I know you're about to say this, and
- 50:19Speaker 2: I've turned your mic off just in case anyone wonders
- 50:22Speaker 2: why there's a gap there. That's what's about to happen.
- 50:27Speaker 2: You do have the ability to do that. And see
- 50:29Speaker 2: I can't do anything about it. I have nothing over
- 50:32Speaker 2: here to like stop you or attack you with an
- 50:36Speaker 2: enthusiasm I known to mankind. See there he is, Blake
- 50:42Speaker 2: Lane is gone for the first pair of bigger Hooters
- 50:46Speaker 2: that comes along. He very well could be buy some
- 50:49Speaker 2: neck Joe getting Beaver. So Joe is in your corner
- 50:52Speaker 2: on this. He is one in your corner on this
- 50:55Speaker 2: real quick. One other note, we got to go to
- 50:56Speaker 2: break LSU offensive Tenacle. Will Campbell on year three at
- 51:03Speaker 2: LSU with Brian Kelly. This is year three. It's time
- 51:07Speaker 2: for us to do something instead of just winning ten games.
- 51:10Speaker 2: I mean ten games is cool for a lot of schools.
- 51:13Speaker 2: Not here. Ten games gets people fired, people replaced. So
- 51:18Speaker 2: it's time for us to do something a little different
- 51:22Speaker 2: and you know, win a national championship. So whoever this
- 51:27Speaker 2: will Campbell offensive lineman is, he has called for a
- 51:32Speaker 2: national champion. He has called his shot in baton rouge
- 51:36Speaker 2: and it sounds like he is attacking with an enthusiasm
- 51:39Speaker 2: unknown to mankind.
- 51:39Speaker 10: Back in a bit, it's time just get back in
- 51:42Speaker 10: the game. Sember and the Afternoon Drive that's entertain on

- 52:30Speaker 2: College will join us tomorrow. I think I told you
- 52:33Speaker 2: this privately, Man of Leisure, mister producer. This has kind
- 52:38Speaker 2: of flown right under the radar, But Mississippi College looks
- 52:42Speaker 2: like they have decided they want to get in the
- 52:44Speaker 2: game of football. Now they play football. They put a
- 52:48Speaker 2: team out there. It's normally do you ever think about
- 52:51Speaker 2: Missipi College. Mike Kershaw, who is at Rice and has
- 52:58Speaker 2: a long history of football coaching in the CFL and
- 53:02Speaker 2: some other places, had a visit with him today. And
- 53:05Speaker 2: I had a visit with a couple of these new
- 53:07Speaker 2: coaches coming off of out of Missoupi College over the
- 53:10Speaker 2: last few weeks, very intrigued by what's going on out
- 53:14Speaker 2: in Clinton. A lot of these guys on this staff
- 53:18Speaker 2: come from winning programs, Liberty, Troy, Twulane. Mike Kershaw has
- 53:26Speaker 2: quietly put together what looks to be a pretty darn
- 53:30Speaker 2: good staff. They've gone in and I put I shared
- 53:34Speaker 2: this on X. Have even changed the uniforms of Missippi College.
- 53:38Speaker 2: No more yellow, all baby blue and dark bavy blue.
- 53:47Speaker 2: They are in the midst of a it sounds like.
- 53:50Speaker 2: And we'll visit with coach Kershaw tomorrow and we'll get
- 53:52Speaker 2: out there in a couple weeks. A culture change at
- 53:54Speaker 2: MISISPPI College. They've totally flipped this roster. I think they
- 53:59Speaker 2: signed fifty new players this year. Like they're not playing around.
- 54:03Speaker 2: This is gonna be fun to watch because you know,
- 54:05Speaker 2: we don't talk a lot of small college. We know,
- 54:07Speaker 2: Delta State has always been Delta State. They just kind
- 54:11Speaker 2: of live in the postseason. They've won it a high level.
- 54:15Speaker 2: Bell Haven. We've obviously talked a lot about what's happened
- 54:18Speaker 2: as far as bell Haven and the transformation at Belle
- 54:21Speaker 2: Haven of the last few years they're under first year
- 54:23Speaker 2: head coach, will visit with him in the coming weeks.
- 54:26Speaker 2: You know, mill SAPs is and I don't mean this
- 54:28Speaker 2: in a trying to be funny Millsaps. It's kind of
- 54:30Speaker 2: mill SAPs. But do we ever talk about Missippi College. Never?
- 54:36Speaker 2: But it sounds like Mike Kershaw, first yearhead football coaches,
- 54:40Speaker 2: is trying to give people something to talk about. So
- 54:42Speaker 2: this is gonna be gonna be interesting. And I've said
- 54:44Speaker 2: this before, there's no reason Missisi College shouldn't win their
- 54:48Speaker 2: Division two program. They obviously, you know, years ago they
- 54:53Speaker 2: won the Natty way back when and what the eighties
- 54:55Speaker 2: or whatever that was, and then they went D three.
- 54:59Speaker 2: They just kind of fell off the map back to
- 55:03Speaker 2: D two. They have scholarships to give, they have tons
- 55:06Speaker 2: of talent around here to go get and if you
- 55:09Speaker 2: go on that campus as a very nice campus. The
- 55:12Speaker 2: football facilities are still in pretty darn good shape, but
- 55:15Speaker 2: they've gone in and redone a lot of the locker
- 55:17Speaker 2: rooms and stuff. Very interesting, very interesting story. We're gonna
- 55:20Speaker 2: follow this now. Who knows how this is going to
- 55:22Speaker 2: turn out, but at least somebody's there that cares. When's
- 55:26Speaker 2: the last time you even thought about Chalk Tall football
- 55:29Speaker 2: at Misissippi College.
- 55:32Speaker 4: Some some years back? Because when you ask, do you
- 55:38Speaker 4: ever think about MC? Not since Chris Brooks's show where
- 55:44Speaker 4: he was supposed to take me to a game?
- 55:46Speaker 2: I like MC.
- 55:49Speaker 4: And he was gonna take me to a game, and
- 55:51Speaker 4: I was I really wanted to go because you know,
- 55:52Speaker 4: Chris loves to tell us that's my friend, that that
- 55:56Speaker 4: that coach coach the A D you know, because he
- 56:00Speaker 4: worked there, right he was sid am I making that up?
- 56:02Speaker 2: No, I believe he was. I believe Chris was.
- 56:04Speaker 4: Yes, so he you know, it's like when you talk
- 56:08Speaker 4: to a client or something. He goes, that's my friend.
- 56:11Speaker 4: So you know, the ad was his friend and we
- 56:13Speaker 4: were gonna go to a game and it never happened.
- 56:16Speaker 4: So that was the last time I thought about himc
- 56:18Speaker 4: So I like this. I like the sound of this.
- 56:21Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't want to speak for coach Kershaw,
- 56:24Speaker 2: but just paraphrasing some of the conversation we had today.
- 56:26Speaker 2: He said, you know, we're gonna we're gonna get after it.
- 56:29Speaker 2: He said, we're gonna throw it. We're gonna throw it
- 56:31Speaker 2: a lot. And you know, you here's the thing that's
- 56:33Speaker 2: not new today, but you have to, like you can
- 56:38Speaker 2: really flip a football program if you know what you're
- 56:41Speaker 2: doing and you do it the right way. Especially you know,
- 56:44Speaker 2: obviously you've got to have everything in place. You gotta
- 56:46Speaker 2: have the players in the in the weight program, you
- 56:48Speaker 2: got to the right strength coach, We know all the
- 56:49Speaker 2: stuff you got to have. This is not rocket science.
- 56:53Speaker 2: But then you gotta have a fun brand of football
- 56:55Speaker 2: that people want to go play in. You heard David
- 56:57Speaker 2: Murray and I were one talking about the at least
- 56:59Speaker 2: in energy that's back a Mississippi State. There's energy there
- 57:03Speaker 2: that's good now, State may win four ball games, it
- 57:06Speaker 2: may be a tough year for the Dogs. They may
- 57:09Speaker 2: win six. Get the right two ballgames, get your non cons,
- 57:12Speaker 2: and get the right two. You've got to insert energy.
- 57:19Speaker 2: And it sounds like that's what they're doing. Missispi College,
- 57:22Speaker 2: Space Coast. You might as well throw this hum dinger,
- 57:28Speaker 2: oh boy in there at the end of the show
- 57:31Speaker 2: from your oh, Space Coast, What are you doing here?
- 57:35Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to read this. I feel like he's
- 57:37Speaker 2: trying to set me up. Let's see here, unnamed Texter.
- 57:43Speaker 2: They won the Natty in eight eighty nine to ninety Yeah,
- 57:45Speaker 2: Missippi College. Just I thought I knew it was somewhere
- 57:49Speaker 2: late eighties Ish Buffalo Chris chalk taw here went there
- 57:54Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety eight ninety nine. It's a great school.
- 57:57Speaker 2: It is a great university or great college. They pump
- 58:01Speaker 2: up a lot of people. We get interns that come
- 58:03Speaker 2: through here from Missispi College from time to time. It's
- 58:07Speaker 2: a beautiful campus. And you know, when I was out
- 58:11Speaker 2: there last year with you beat doing the Heartfield prep game,
- 58:15Speaker 2: they're early kind of walking around just looking around and
- 58:17Speaker 2: just kind of looking at even the football facilities and stuff,
- 58:21Speaker 2: and I thought, man, there's no reason this program should
- 58:24Speaker 2: not be winning, Like, what is going on here? Why
- 58:28Speaker 2: is this program not won because you don't or at
- 58:30Speaker 2: least for me, think about them, because they're kind of
- 58:33Speaker 2: out of side, out of mind. They play a scheduled
- 58:36Speaker 2: and win four five ball games and off the game.
- 58:39Speaker 2: But you go out there and it's it's impressive. Un
- 58:43Speaker 2: name texter Fred McAfee. Yep. So we'll see, We'll see
- 58:46Speaker 2: what happens six hour one eight nine, seven one zero
- 58:50Speaker 2: five nine. Let me see here. What else do we
- 58:52Speaker 2: got here? Jim Harball, we went through that and his Shenanigans,
- 58:56Speaker 2: talked about the LSU left tackle who says that it's
- 58:58Speaker 2: national championship time down and Rouge recruiting wise, Duce Night.
- 59:04Speaker 2: We talked Duce Night a lot this summer. He is
- 59:09Speaker 2: the elle eleven quarterback from George County, number one quarterback
- 59:12Speaker 2: in the state of Mississippi, one of the top quarterbacks
- 59:14Speaker 2: in the country. He has been committed to Notre Dame
- 59:17Speaker 2: for a long time four star prospect. We're gonna see
- 59:21Speaker 2: how far he can put George take George County, put
- 59:24Speaker 2: him on his back. Well, he get a lot of
- 59:28Speaker 2: interest from Ole miss now some at two four seven
- 59:33Speaker 2: Sports dot Commerce saying that Auburn is on the cusp
- 59:35Speaker 2: of flipping him and that would not be surprise surprising
- 59:39Speaker 2: Hugh Freese to come into state of Mississippi and grab
- 59:41Speaker 2: a quarterback. You have anything on the phone, let's see here. Also,
- 59:46Speaker 2: Ohio State offensive quarterback or coordinator seeing me, chip Kelly said,
- 59:51Speaker 2: Will Howard, the quarterback from Kansas State, clocked in at
- 59:54Speaker 2: twenty two miles prior doing a sprint this off season.
- 59:58Speaker 4: Now, is that is that good? That's Tyreek Hill. Get
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: out of my face with that, really, William Howard. Will
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: Howard reached twenty two miles per hour in a sprint
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: during this offseason, according to chip Kelly. He's six foot
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: four two and forty pounds. Is chip Kelly lying, that's
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: where I've heard that number before. That's cheaah, that's cheatah speed. Yeah,
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill hit. So he clocked in at twenty three seconds.
- 1:00:32Speaker 4: All right, I'm sorry, twenty three miles per hour? Twenty
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: three you're gonna tell me that? Will Howard a quarterback
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: who played at Kansas State who's now at Ohio State.
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: The greatest roster ever in history of ever is as
- 1:00:49Speaker 4: fast as Tyreek Hill.
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: All right. I refuse to believe that. How good was
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: Michael Vick? Very how fast was Michael Vick? The do
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: you know what he clocked in two thousand and one
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: for the NFL nineteen miles per hour? So you're telling
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: me Chip Kelly is lying. There is no way Will
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: Howard is faster than Michael Vick. I'm talking about prime
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: players in their prime. Who else is a fast quarterback?
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: This is a good exercise. Give me somebody else.
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: Kaepernick he took, he he had good speed?
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: All right? How many milesmen can see Colin Kaepernick. Let's
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: see if we can get a speed measurement on Kaepernick.
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: We're gonna have to find that one. They didn't just
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: pop up. But I get what you said. There's no
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: way do you believe any of this? No, So all
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: of a sudden, we're gonna make Will Howard and I
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: don't believe this. I can't. I can't go with Chip
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Kelly on this. Tiger David said, Jayden Daniels. What did
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels do before I take a break here? And
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: we're gonna get Kelly ford on in the next segment.
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: Let's see Jayden Daniels twenty twenty miles prior for Jayden Daniels.
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: So you're telling me Will Howard is two miles prior
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: for I don't believe this at all. I think Chip
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: Kelly is lying straight up, ball face lie. We're brought

- 1:04:04Speaker 2: talking college football, Kelly, welcome in brother.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: How you doing hey, Jake?
- 1:04:07Speaker 8: I'm doing well. Thanks for having me.
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: Hey, I appreciate you. And look, I know that we're
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: not going to change what I'm fixing to bring up.
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: I do it every year. But why do we want
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: to continue to believe that coaches vote in a coaches pol?
- 1:04:21Speaker 8: Well, I don't know, Jake. I mean, as we've talked about,
- 1:04:24Speaker 8: you know, coaches poll, ap preseason poll. I don't put
- 1:04:27Speaker 8: much stock in either of those things because there's really
- 1:04:30Speaker 8: there's even among the voters, not a set criteria of
- 1:04:34Speaker 8: how are we supposed to be voting. What are we
- 1:04:36Speaker 8: voting on? Are we voting on, you know, who we
- 1:04:38Speaker 8: think is gonna be the best this year? We're voting
- 1:04:39Speaker 8: on who we think is going to have the best record.
- 1:04:41Speaker 8: We are we voting on, you know, based on how
- 1:04:43Speaker 8: good these teams were last year and what we think
- 1:04:45Speaker 8: we might expect to be coming back this year. There's
- 1:04:47Speaker 8: really not a lot of merit in my opinion, in
- 1:04:51Speaker 8: doing coaches or AP type polls in the preseason, because
- 1:04:55Speaker 8: we haven't seen any We have these polls that are
- 1:04:57Speaker 8: trying to project forward, but then once we get going,
- 1:04:59Speaker 8: they shift and they become a merit poll. Right, So
- 1:05:02Speaker 8: I don't really believe in preseason polls. Preseason power ratings,
- 1:05:05Speaker 8: of course, is one thing, and that's something that I
- 1:05:07Speaker 8: dabble in as we have know now. But yeah, coaches polls, AP,
- 1:05:11Speaker 8: preseason poll I don't even pay much attention, Jake, because
- 1:05:15Speaker 8: I just I don't even think they know what they're
- 1:05:16Speaker 8: voting on amongst themselves.
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: Kelly Ford talking to College Football Money edition of the program,
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: I agree with you one hundred percent on that. And
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: you know, I think the College Football Playoff Committee and
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: then you know where I was talking to Chris Landry
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: about this yesterday is you know, why do we still
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: need a committee? But that's neither here nor there, because
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: the NFL doesn't have a committee, high school football doesn't
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: have a committee. So you know, for some reason we
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: still have to have a Division one college football. But
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: even they got rid of the coaches in the Associated
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: Press in relationship to what they do with figuring out
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: that the entire playoff.
- 1:05:48Speaker 8: Yeah, well, without a doubt. Again, it's just it doesn't
- 1:05:50Speaker 8: make a whole lot of sense. We want to talk about,
- 1:05:52Speaker 8: you know, what a power rating is for teams moving forward,
- 1:05:55Speaker 8: That certainly does make sense, But I'm not a supporter
- 1:05:58Speaker 8: of anything that changes through out in the course of
- 1:06:00Speaker 8: the year. What it is you're objectively trying to quantify.
- 1:06:03Speaker 8: And yeah, as we get in the BCS era, they
- 1:06:05Speaker 8: do away with certain things. Now we have the CFP
- 1:06:08Speaker 8: Selection Committee that does their ranking at the end, but
- 1:06:10Speaker 8: there's a reason that that group doesn't get together until
- 1:06:13Speaker 8: what November or the end of October, because then we
- 1:06:15Speaker 8: have a sufficient amount of games under our belt to
- 1:06:18Speaker 8: really truly rate teams or judge teams on what have
- 1:06:21Speaker 8: they achieved this year relative to what would be expected
- 1:06:23Speaker 8: given the schedule plays all right.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Week one, I'm looking at some of your notes here
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: as you look at or see me team watchability. So
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: you've got usc looks like teams with highest average watchability
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: scores for all regular season games. Define again for the audience,
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: what watchability is the way you frame it up means
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: for sure.
- 1:06:43Speaker 8: So watchability has nothing to do with what I'm projecting
- 1:06:47Speaker 8: TV ratings to be the number of eyeballs on that
- 1:06:49Speaker 8: or how big a certain team's fan base is, how
- 1:06:52Speaker 8: popular a brand is nothing to do with any of that.
- 1:06:55Speaker 8: When I say watchability on the website K four ratings
- 1:06:57Speaker 8: dot com, it is a weighted school are of projected quality,
- 1:07:02Speaker 8: So what's the average K forward rating of the two
- 1:07:04Speaker 8: teams involved? And competitiveness, So what's the K forward spread
- 1:07:08Speaker 8: of the game. Those are the only two things that
- 1:07:10Speaker 8: I'm looking at. Is it high quality teams? And is
- 1:07:13Speaker 8: it projected to be a close game. When I do
- 1:07:15Speaker 8: that for all four one hundred and thirty four SBS
- 1:07:18Speaker 8: teams and every single game they play, I'm able to
- 1:07:20Speaker 8: come up with a score of zero to ten for
- 1:07:24Speaker 8: every single one of their games, and then you average
- 1:07:26Speaker 8: those together, and that's how you can figure out who
- 1:07:28Speaker 8: has the highest watchability by that metric in college football,
- 1:07:32Speaker 8: and for me, it's USC that comes out with an
- 1:07:35Speaker 8: eight point seven to seven. So over the course of
- 1:07:37Speaker 8: their twelve regular season games, USC averages an eight point
- 1:07:41Speaker 8: seven to seven on a zero to ten scale with
- 1:07:43Speaker 8: regard to each of their games. When they're looking at
- 1:07:45Speaker 8: just the quality of the teams involved, and the projected
- 1:07:48Speaker 8: competitiveness of those games. Florida, Alabama, LSU, and Oklahoma State
- 1:07:54Speaker 8: round out the top five for me in terms of
- 1:07:56Speaker 8: average watchability.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: I mean, look, if you just looked at their schedule,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: you look at USC, you just kind of you do
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: a little homework here, and it takes just a second
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: to me LSU that that game with LSU week one,
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: it could be the biggest game that weekend simply. But
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: I mean you could argue some others as well, but
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: because of you know, the projection, I mean, we just
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: had an offensive tago for LSU said, hey, it's national
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: championship time for them down there. USC wants to, you know,
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: prove I think that they belong in this race. So
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: that's a big game. Utah State not so much. But
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: then they go to Michigan, they host Wisconsin, They'll have
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: Penn State coming in two weeks after that, they will
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: play a Rutgers team that should be pretty salty at Washington,
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: which is a natural rivalry of sorts. Nebraska that still
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: has somewhat of a brand there as well, of course
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: at UCLA and Notre Dame. So I could see where
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: that kind of calculates out because most of their ballgames
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: are maybe not like taking on George every week or
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: Texas every week, but the potential eyeballs in the brands
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: are there for sure.
- 1:08:57Speaker 8: Yeah, there's four games on USC schedule against teams power
- 1:09:01Speaker 8: rated in the top twelve of my preseason rating. There's
- 1:09:04Speaker 8: only two games on the schedule against teams power rated
- 1:09:07Speaker 8: outside the top fifty. And when you combine that with
- 1:09:10Speaker 8: the fact that I have USC right there at number twenty,
- 1:09:13Speaker 8: you could say, Okay, the average quality of these games
- 1:09:16Speaker 8: is going to be pretty high with teams you know,
- 1:09:17Speaker 8: power right in the top fifty almost exclusively, and then
- 1:09:20Speaker 8: with USC being twenty, they're going to be you know,
- 1:09:22Speaker 8: pretty close the teams above them or below them with
- 1:09:25Speaker 8: regard to projected spread. Of course you're adjusting for home
- 1:09:27Speaker 8: field advantage and all those things. But that's how USC
- 1:09:30Speaker 8: is going to come out with on average an eight
- 1:09:31Speaker 8: point seven seven even though they don't play, as you said,
- 1:09:35Speaker 8: some of the marquee teams on a weekend, week out basis.
- 1:09:38Speaker 8: But this is a difficult schedule. It's number fourteen, most
- 1:09:40Speaker 8: difficult in the entire country by my numbers. And you
- 1:09:42Speaker 8: mentioned that Week one game against LSU I've got that
- 1:09:45Speaker 8: with a watchability score of nine point six. Again it's
- 1:09:48Speaker 8: on a zero to ten scale to a nine point
- 1:09:51Speaker 8: six for the Trojans right out of the gate. For me, Jake,
- 1:09:53Speaker 8: that's the number two game of Week one, behind Notreed
- 1:09:56Speaker 8: Aime at Texas A and M, which I have at
- 1:09:58Speaker 8: a nine point eight watch ability score.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: I'm going to come back to Notre Dame because of
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: a piece that was out on them earlier. But first
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: I'm asking about Alabama now Florida. That makes sense. We
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: know about their schedule, it's it's it's lights on them
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: every week Alabama. Is it more about who they play?
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: Is just more about the Alabama brand.
- 1:10:17Speaker 8: So for Alabama, just like for everybody, it's a combination, right,
- 1:10:19Speaker 8: it's because of how good Alabama's projected to be number
- 1:10:22Speaker 8: five in my Power ratings, So a really, really good team,
- 1:10:25Speaker 8: even though there is a post Nick saban Era, but
- 1:10:27Speaker 8: also it's who they're playing. It's the top ten most
- 1:10:29Speaker 8: difficult schedule in the country. They've got Georgia in Conference Tennessee, Missouri, LSU, Oklahoma, Auburn.
- 1:10:35Speaker 8: All of those teams are top twenty five in the
- 1:10:37Speaker 8: Power Ratings. You're throwing a non conference game against Wisconsin.
- 1:10:40Speaker 8: So when you're looking at watchability, again, for me, it's
- 1:10:43Speaker 8: an average, a weighted average. It's not equal a weighted
- 1:10:45Speaker 8: average of the quality of the teams involved. So certainly
- 1:10:48Speaker 8: Alabama's equality, and then most of their opponents are pretty
- 1:10:51Speaker 8: high quality. And then what's the projected spread. Alabama doesn't
- 1:10:54Speaker 8: grade out quite as well there because they are going
- 1:10:56Speaker 8: to be, you know, a significant favorite, I would say,
- 1:10:59Speaker 8: in many of their games. But you look at the
- 1:11:01Speaker 8: Georgia game, the Tennessee game, the LSU game, the Oklahoma game,
- 1:11:04Speaker 8: all of those games should have a single digit spread,
- 1:11:07Speaker 8: maybe even a one possession spread, and so they're gonna
- 1:11:09Speaker 8: get almost max credit for each of those games. And
- 1:11:11Speaker 8: that's about a third of their schedule right there.

- 1:13:12Speaker 2: you down here to these parts at some point. Speaking
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: of these parts, all right, So we've talked to a
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: lot of these teams. There are still some teams that
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: I'm very intrigued by.
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: One.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: You know, Texas Tech is a team if you go
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: to the Big Twelve where last year they were kind
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: of on the radar as a quote unquote by the
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: national media as a as a potential dark horse threat.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: Now that they ended up that that got squashed quickly,
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: how good is Texas Tech in this new Big twelve?
- 1:13:41Speaker 8: Texas Tech is a good team. Jake, and I think
- 1:13:43Speaker 8: the Big Twelve is such an interesting conference because it's
- 1:13:46Speaker 8: so deep. It doesn't really have a lot of elite
- 1:13:48Speaker 8: power rated teams at the very top, but it's very
- 1:13:51Speaker 8: deep with regard to the number of teams that might
- 1:13:53Speaker 8: have an opportunity or a path, I should say, to
- 1:13:56Speaker 8: make it to Arlington. So if I look at Texas Tech.
- 1:13:58Speaker 8: This is a team that I expect, for a power standpoint,
- 1:14:01Speaker 8: to be a little bit better than they were a
- 1:14:02Speaker 8: year ago, a year in which, as you mentioned, there
- 1:14:05Speaker 8: was a lot of love in the preseason for the
- 1:14:06Speaker 8: Red Raiders to maybe be a dark horse in the
- 1:14:08Speaker 8: Big twelve Conference. I've got them better on the offensive
- 1:14:11Speaker 8: side of the ball this year than last year, the
- 1:14:13Speaker 8: defense right about the same, projecting in the mid forties.
- 1:14:15Speaker 8: But if you go game by game down Texas Tech schedule,
- 1:14:19Speaker 8: there's only a couple games in which right now I
- 1:14:21Speaker 8: currently make them an underdog. Week six at Arizona Big
- 1:14:25Speaker 8: twelve newcomer there in Arizona. That's going to be a
- 1:14:27Speaker 8: tricky game. Arizona's a top twenty five power rated team.
- 1:14:30Speaker 8: For me, it's on the road, only the second road
- 1:14:32Speaker 8: trip for the Red Raiders in the year, back to
- 1:14:35Speaker 8: back Week nine to ten road trips to TCU and
- 1:14:39Speaker 8: Iowa State, and then in week thirteen a road trip
- 1:14:42Speaker 8: to Oklahoma State. So four road trips within conference play.
- 1:14:46Speaker 8: That is what I think is going to determine how
- 1:14:49Speaker 8: good or bad of a season Texas Tech has. Can
- 1:14:51Speaker 8: they go You know, it probably needs to be at
- 1:14:55Speaker 8: least two and two, maybe even three and one or
- 1:14:58Speaker 8: better in those games. And if they do, I certainly
- 1:15:01Speaker 8: expect Texas Tech to be in that Big Twelve race
- 1:15:04Speaker 8: come the end of the year because the schedule sets
- 1:15:06Speaker 8: up pretty nicely for them. It's the top ten easiest
- 1:15:09Speaker 8: schedule and all of power for and if you're looking
- 1:15:11Speaker 8: at the Big twelve only slate, it's number eleven out
- 1:15:15Speaker 8: of sixteen schedules in the Big Twelve. In terms of
- 1:15:18Speaker 8: conference difficulty, they missed Kansas State, they missed Utah, the
- 1:15:22Speaker 8: two favorites in the conference to start this year. They
- 1:15:24Speaker 8: miss Kansas, they miss UCF some of the other contenders.
- 1:15:27Speaker 8: So I do think the schedule lays out pretty nicely
- 1:15:30Speaker 8: for the Red Raiders. It's the road trips that I'm
- 1:15:32Speaker 8: looking at Arizona, Iowa State, TCU in Oklahoma State. How
- 1:15:36Speaker 8: many of those games can they win? And if it's
- 1:15:38Speaker 8: I'll say three or more, that's a big if. They'll
- 1:15:40Speaker 8: certainly be in a position to be contending for a
- 1:15:42Speaker 8: spot in Arlington.
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: Group of five teams. You know, Liberty obviously got a
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: lot of love last year. They obviously went undefeaded and
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: could not hang with the Oregon. That thing lasted about
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: a quarter and a half. Then the better team just
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: took over This year. I mean, Liberty is gonna have
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: an opportunity to do that again. But then Memphis is
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: getting a lot of love boys. He's getting love. Is
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: there a group of five teams potentially that could not
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: only get to this playoff but maybe won a game.
- 1:16:09Speaker 8: That's a really good question, Jake. I think it's going
- 1:16:11Speaker 8: to be tough for a group of five teams to
- 1:16:13Speaker 8: win a game in the playoffs. And the reason I
- 1:16:15Speaker 8: say that is it's more likely than not that this
- 1:16:17Speaker 8: group of five team is going to be the twelve seed.
- 1:16:20Speaker 8: And when you're the twelve seed, that means you're facing
- 1:16:22Speaker 8: the five seed on the road in the first round.
- 1:16:24Speaker 8: That five seed is very very likely going to be,
- 1:16:29Speaker 8: you know, the second, maybe third best team out of
- 1:16:33Speaker 8: either the SCC or the Big Ten. Certainly not one
- 1:16:35Speaker 8: of the champions that they'll get the divide, but it
- 1:16:38Speaker 8: maybe a team that lost in one of those Connece
- 1:16:40Speaker 8: chapionship games, maybe a team that didn't make it, but
- 1:16:42Speaker 8: is certainly a really highly power rated team. So I
- 1:16:44Speaker 8: think being in that twelve spot is going to be
- 1:16:46Speaker 8: very very difficult. But if we're looking at you know
- 1:16:48Speaker 8: which ones are the best from a power rating standpoint,
- 1:16:51Speaker 8: I've got Boise State right now as the favorite to
- 1:16:54Speaker 8: land that G five spot. They're also my highest rated
- 1:16:57Speaker 8: non Power four team in the country this year. Memphis
- 1:17:00Speaker 8: for me is number two on that list, followed by
- 1:17:02Speaker 8: a UTSA team also out of the American. So I
- 1:17:05Speaker 8: think it's a three horse race in the American UTSA
- 1:17:08Speaker 8: Twulane in Memphis all right there, all projecting within very
- 1:17:12Speaker 8: close projected wins within conference play. For me, so I
- 1:17:15Speaker 8: think either the winner of the American or Boise State
- 1:17:18Speaker 8: if they're able to win the Mountain West, and again
- 1:17:20Speaker 8: that's a big if they're the best team in that conference,
- 1:17:23Speaker 8: I expect them to be hosting that Mountain West championship game,
- 1:17:25Speaker 8: but certainly Presno State, Air Force, Unldyoming are all going
- 1:17:29Speaker 8: to have something to say about that. Jake, I don't
- 1:17:31Speaker 8: know if the team is good enough to win a game,
- 1:17:33Speaker 8: who knows, it's a one off, but having to go
- 1:17:35Speaker 8: on the road that time of year, depending on where
- 1:17:37Speaker 8: they are, I think it's a big, big aft for
- 1:17:39Speaker 8: a group of five teams. If they are indeed at
- 1:17:41Speaker 8: number twelve seeds.
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think you would have to have and
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: again we'll see how the committee kind of frames this up.
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: A group of five team that was so good that
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: they maybe they got a ten seed or maybe even
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: eleven seed.
- 1:17:53Speaker 8: Correct, Yeah, I mean that's certainly one path. There's also, Jake,
- 1:17:57Speaker 8: there could be a scenario in and doing a way
- 1:18:01Speaker 8: of divisions really hurt the non G five or the
- 1:18:03Speaker 8: non power force in this sense. But there could be
- 1:18:06Speaker 8: a scenario in which, what if you know, a three
- 1:18:10Speaker 8: loss team wins the ACC and a three loss team
- 1:18:14Speaker 8: wins the Big twelve. Like, if we get in that
- 1:18:17Speaker 8: type of scenario, it is possible that you could have
- 1:18:21Speaker 8: a G five conference champion if they went undefeated or
- 1:18:24Speaker 8: had one loss, they could sneak their way then into
- 1:18:27Speaker 8: the top four. Because remember those top four has to
- 1:18:29Speaker 8: be conference champion. So if we assume the big set
- 1:18:32Speaker 8: of the SEC are going to take two of those
- 1:18:33Speaker 8: four spots kind of regardless of what the records are,
- 1:18:35Speaker 8: because I don't expect teams with three loss be playing
- 1:18:37Speaker 8: in that conference chaviship game. But what about the ACC
- 1:18:40Speaker 8: in the Big twelve? If we have a three loss
- 1:18:42Speaker 8: champion out of those conferences and an undefeated Boise State
- 1:18:45Speaker 8: or an undefeated you know, Memphis, it is possible that
- 1:18:48Speaker 8: they could sneak their way into the top four seeds.
- 1:18:50Speaker 8: And if that's the case, you're getting that first round
- 1:18:52Speaker 8: by and then playing the quarterfinal at a neutral site,
- 1:18:55Speaker 8: which of course you're gonna like their chances to win
- 1:18:57Speaker 8: that certainly much more than going on the road in
- 1:18:59Speaker 8: the first round.
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: How good can Notre Dame be this year in your opinion?
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: I bring that up just because you know, they just
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: read up and got their new contract with NBC. They're
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: not going anywhere. They've set this thing up to where
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: they get the money coming out of NBC plus the
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: money if they've make the College Football Playoff. I mean,
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: they're kind of on par with some of the big
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: most of the big ten in the SEC financially. Can
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: they get in this conversation this year or maybe even
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: next year, and of course next year is a totally
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: different year to where they are, you know, one of
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: the one of the top teams as far as that
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: we're talking about in late November and December.
- 1:19:33Speaker 8: Yeah, Notre Dame certainly from a brand recognition standpoint, which
- 1:19:36Speaker 8: we can argue how much that should matter, The reality
- 1:19:39Speaker 8: is it does matter. Notre Dame's up there with anybody,
- 1:19:42Speaker 8: and I know they just had a devastating injury at
- 1:19:45Speaker 8: left tackle here in the last couple of days that
- 1:19:47Speaker 8: was reported, so certainly that's going to hurt their chances
- 1:19:49Speaker 8: this year. But this is still a really good Notre
- 1:19:51Speaker 8: Dame team overall. I've got them power rated right now
- 1:19:54Speaker 8: number seven, a top ten offense, which would be the
- 1:19:57Speaker 8: best offense that we've seen in South ben since twenty
- 1:19:59Speaker 8: five team, and a top ten defense right now projecting
- 1:20:02Speaker 8: number nine. If they do finish at nine or better,
- 1:20:05Speaker 8: this would be the best Notre Dame defense of the
- 1:20:08Speaker 8: csp ERA by my numbers. So Notre Dame has a
- 1:20:11Speaker 8: big opportunity in front of them this year, and the
- 1:20:14Speaker 8: schedule is actually pretty favorable for Notre Dame. In most years,
- 1:20:18Speaker 8: Notre Dame plays one of the most difficult schedules in
- 1:20:20Speaker 8: the country. This year, they do not. It's number fifty
- 1:20:22Speaker 8: eight out of sixty eight with regard to my scheduled
- 1:20:25Speaker 8: difficulty and Power four, so it's the eleven easiest Power
- 1:20:28Speaker 8: four schedule. The only game this year that my numbers
- 1:20:32Speaker 8: currently assign less than a sixty five percent win expectancy.
- 1:20:36Speaker 8: Is that Week one game to start the season on
- 1:20:39Speaker 8: the road at Texas A and M in College Station.
- 1:20:41Speaker 8: I have that one right now as a fifty to
- 1:20:42Speaker 8: fifty game, so that one's a complete toss up. But
- 1:20:45Speaker 8: after that, Notre Dame's looking like a favorite in each
- 1:20:48Speaker 8: of their remaining games. Because the schedule is a little softer,
- 1:20:52Speaker 8: my number suggests that eleven and one would be the
- 1:20:54Speaker 8: required win total to get into really CFP conversation. But
- 1:20:58Speaker 8: I'm going to say that if Notre Dame finishes ten
- 1:21:00Speaker 8: and two, regardless of the schedule, face, I don't believe
- 1:21:04Speaker 8: the CFP committee would keep a ten win Notre Dame
- 1:21:08Speaker 8: team out of the playoff in some former fashion in
- 1:21:10Speaker 8: those seeds five, three, twelve. So I think if Notre
- 1:21:13Speaker 8: Dame can get the ten wins, which my numbers right
- 1:21:15Speaker 8: now give us seventy six percent chance to happen, they're
- 1:21:17Speaker 8: gonna find themselves in the playoff this year. And I
- 1:21:19Speaker 8: do expect Notre Dame to be a perennial playoff contender
- 1:21:23Speaker 8: in the twelve team era. I mean, Jake needed a
- 1:21:25Speaker 8: handful of times in the four team era. There's really
- 1:21:27Speaker 8: no reason to suggest that they won't in the twelve team.
- 1:21:30Speaker 8: Not to mention, they also went to that BCS National
- 1:21:32Speaker 8: championship game in twenty twelve. I think it was so
- 1:21:35Speaker 8: this is a program that has contended at the highest
- 1:21:37Speaker 8: levels in recent years. They haven't won a national championship
- 1:21:40Speaker 8: since the eighties. I don't believe, but certainly there's someone
- 1:21:42Speaker 8: who I expect to be there year in and year
- 1:21:44Speaker 8: out in a twelve team playoffs.

- 1:24:17Speaker 2: season tickets with that slogan, So you know, I think
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: I think Bessie because did they lose that championship? Did
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: they get it stripped like by the NCAA. Did that happen?
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: I am not sure.
- 1:24:29Speaker 4: It seems like I've heard that somewhere, but that was
- 1:24:33Speaker 4: was it ninety yes? Before I even started watching football.
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know the history of MC.
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: Should that be a slogan take it back? If it is? Yeah?
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: Or we could throw in that Jim Harball, hum Dinger,
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: what do you think about that? Could you imagine having
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: Jim Harball and Aaron Rodgers in the same room having
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: a conversation, and let's bring in Jameis Winston as well.
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: To the conversation, what do you think that would be?
- 1:24:56Speaker 8: Like?
- 1:24:59Speaker 4: You know, if we're going to to get into that,
- 1:25:00Speaker 4: I don't think Jameis Winston could hang in that conversation
- 1:25:04Speaker 4: hardball in Aaron Rodgers, as insufferable and weird as it
- 1:25:08Speaker 4: would be, there'd probably be some deep down they're probably
- 1:25:14Speaker 4: smart guys. Quite honestly, I think so Jameis Winston trying
- 1:25:18Speaker 4: to jump in with man of increase and whatever he does,
- 1:25:22Speaker 4: I don't think it would work out for him.
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: Probably not. Let's see arts he said that. Did the
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: police clock him at twenty two? We were talking about
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: what's that quarterback's name, Will Howard? Yeah, at Ohio State
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: clock And I still don't believe Chip Kelly on this blake.
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: He says, come on, Notre Dame sucks and they got
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: smashed every time they were there. Yeah, that's the thing
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: with Notre Dame. It's the chicken in the egg. We're
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: never everybody's gonna go the same direction with Notre Dame.
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: A lot of people think they suck. I don't think
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: Notre Dame sucks. Is Notre Dame Penn State with gold helmets,
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: I mean, Penn State had to make the playoff, had
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: played a national title in decades. They feel like they're
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: almost the same football program.
- 1:26:08Speaker 3: Though.
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a pretty good comparison.
- 1:26:15Speaker 4: The problem Notre Dame they just are still a lot
- 1:26:18Speaker 4: of people don't want to admit it, but people that
- 1:26:21Speaker 4: text in here clearly, like Blake, the problem with Notre
- 1:26:27Speaker 4: Dame is you're still living.
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: Off your past. Well, yes and no, And here's here's
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: what I mean. Yes, there is the past that you know,
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: all of the football, especially when you get into a
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: lot of the quote unquote historians. You know, rest in peace.
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: You know Cook loved Notre Dame. He was just you
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: start mentioning Notre Dame and he just he'd get fired
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: up about it. You get even some of your Kirk
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: Herb Street's, your national talking heads. Now those are Midwest
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: guys too. They're gonna always talk not Now. We went
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: through this last week about Notre Dame and how many
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: championships and Heisman winners and all that stuff. It's been forever.
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: But it's not like Notre Dame has been. It's not
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: like Notre Dame is Texas A and M who they
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: play oddly Week one. What do I mean by that?
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: We have heard forever that Texas A and M is
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: going to be this program that comes out of the
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: depths of the water and takes over college football. That's
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: never happened yet. Notre Dame, at least at some point
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: in time in history, has been that team. They played
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: for a national championship against Alabama twelve years ago. Wasn't
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: they showed up? Let me say that they didn't play.
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: They showed up. They got on the field, they played
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: in some college football playoffs. They've won ten ball ball games.
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: It seems like annually are right there at it. So
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: when they're that second tier of team, they're not Georgia,
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: they're not Bama, They're not Ohio State, Oregon or even
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: Texas right now, but they're that next level.
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: Are they on?
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: Let me ask this, are they the same as Ole Miss? Well,
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: this is going to be more explosive offensively. Notre Ame
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: is probably better defensively. They return most of that defense
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: for the Irish who last year when you look at
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: the Notre Dame fighting Irish, they gave up fifteen points
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: a game. Sixteen points a game. I ain't played nobody.
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: Notre Dame plays people, they do, They play people as
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: a matter of fact, this year. Now their schedule again.
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: I always tell you, don't apologize. If they beat Texas
- 1:28:42Speaker 2: Saint Am week one and they're a slight favorite by Vegas,
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: then it's off and running. They'll play Northern Illinois at
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: Purdue Miami of Ohio. They will host Louisville. Now that
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: Louisville team is again. This is a team that played
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: for the a SEC championship last year. I believe they
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: beat Notre Dame last year. They got a bye week.
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: They play Stanford at Georgia Tech. They'll play Navy. You
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: get a bye week, then the big one Florida State,
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: but they play that at Notre Dame, Virginia Army and
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: at USC. Here is a scenario that will blow your
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: mind though, with this twelve team playoff, this Notre Dame team.
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: Nobody wants to hear this. Realistically, I'm not saying they're
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: gonna win it. They could go undefeated with a schedule
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: and do you realize they would not be the number
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: one seed, they would be the fifth seed. That is
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: what has blown my mind with this whole thing with
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: the Notre Dame in the playoff. It's not that do
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: they deserve it or do they not? We are not paying.
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: Notre Dame actually agreed to get shafted to stay independent.
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: They agreed to this. They can go undefeated and cannot
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: get a buye. They cannot be the one Seed. What
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: world do we live in? In other sports? Does that happen?
- 1:30:20Speaker 13: So?
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: Are they getting shafted or is this just what they
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: signed up for?
- 1:30:23Speaker 4: It's what you signed up for, you scriage yourself. You
- 1:30:26Speaker 4: just wanted you just wanted this. You wanted to keep
- 1:30:29Speaker 4: this exclusivity that you are just clinging to here in
- 1:30:35Speaker 4: twenty twenty four and this money from your I got
- 1:30:41Speaker 4: a friend who works at NBC Sports. We're gonna make
- 1:30:45Speaker 4: him the ad now. Oh but before you leave, let's
- 1:30:48Speaker 4: work out a new TV deal. Welcome to be in
- 1:30:51Speaker 4: the athletic director at Notre Dame. Yeah, they worked all
- 1:30:55Speaker 4: this out. You got your money, you still got your exclusivity.
- 1:30:59Speaker 4: But don't don't tell me that you really are just
- 1:31:04Speaker 4: desperate to win if you're going to do that, if
- 1:31:07Speaker 4: you're going to sign a deal that clearly limits you right.
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: There, or is it arrogance all that where they think
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: we don't really need the one seed, We want our
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: independence it's that important. We are the university in the
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: Catholic community around the world, the one in the world.
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: We got more money, and we got more money coming
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: in than Warren Buffett. We don't care and we are independence.
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: We will not go under the umbrella of a conference,
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: and we'll even take the fifth seed because you know what,
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: eventually we're going to win. The whole thing is a
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: fifth seed? Is it arrogance? I think it's a little
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: bit of everything. M h big part of it. Yeah,
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: it's a very rad deal. Cwr. Notre Dame is trash ugly.
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: Notre Dame is Dallas and gold helmets. Is that a
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: good comparison the Dallas domers rebel?
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: Greg?
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: Notre Dame is South Panola two point oh? Whoa South Panola?
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: Greg?
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: They won a bunch. Explain yourself, sir, south Panola two
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: point oho, and I think South Panola. I think about
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: our buddy Lance Pogan. Them were just ribbing everybody to
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: shreds up there for about ten years, possum neck Joe.
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: College football has less and less to do with college.
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: With age comes wisdom. I fought this nil because I
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: knew it would spiral out of control. Look where it
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: started in the started at and now Pitbull Stadium. Joe
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: is taking us back to our one. Yeah, if you
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: missed it, FIU Florida International has sold its naming rights
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: to and Again. This is where I know that I
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: am getting old. I don't even know how to frame
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: up Pitbull like where he is in the music world,
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: but he has the rights to the stadium. Now, what
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: is he?
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: Is?
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: He considered a rapper R and B?
- 1:33:10Speaker 6: What is he is?
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: He?
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: Is he a mixture between Morgan Wallen and who's that
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: ugly dude with the freaking tattoos on his face? Kind
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: of heavyset guy. Jelly Roll? Yeah, jelly Roll? Is he
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: is he jelly Roll meets warm where jelly Roll and
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: h Morgan Walland had a baby? What is he?
- 1:33:33Speaker 4: M hm, He's a very poppy He's a rapper, but
- 1:33:43Speaker 4: very pop oriented. I don't know, because that's why I
- 1:33:47Speaker 4: say I thought we had gotten out of our pit
- 1:33:49Speaker 4: Bull phase, because well, I guess when I stopped I
- 1:33:52Speaker 4: stopped listening to the top forty radio like six five,
- 1:33:56Speaker 4: six years ago, So I'm kind of out of it
- 1:34:00Speaker 4: on what pitbulls sound like these days. I'm sure it's
- 1:34:02Speaker 4: still crap though, here's the teams. I mean, you had
- 1:34:05Speaker 4: the big hits with people like Kesha and Neo and
- 1:34:09Speaker 4: all that. Yeah, okay, yes see, I'm I know that
- 1:34:12Speaker 4: doesn't help you.

- 1:35:29Speaker 2: Let's see here from inside NFL camps, Jarrett Stidam has
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: been listed as the Broncos starting quarterback for the first
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: unofficial depth chart. Any thoughts on that? Are you surprised
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: that old Jarrett Stidam is?
- 1:35:45Speaker 4: Yeah, Peyton's playing games. Nicks is going to be his starter.
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: I believe that on day.
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: One, the Ravens have signed veteran wide receiver Russell Gage.
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: Who is this man? I don't even know who he is.
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: Gage.
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: Man, I remember that name. Seattle could be Panthers coach
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: Dave canelis total reporters. Bryce shown will not play Thursday night.
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: The Vikings have listed Sam Donald is the starter on
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: their initial depth chart. Now why are they doing this?
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: Where is JJ McCarthy? Why is Sam Donald the starter.
- 1:36:24Speaker 4: Because he's better than JJ McCarthy.
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: Are we sure about that?
- 1:36:28Speaker 4: Yes?
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: Do you think Sam Donald can throw a football down
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: a hotel lobby alley and hit a receiver going into
- 1:36:34Speaker 2: the door? McCarthy did? Sam Donald was dueing that years ago?
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: Rebel Grex said the south Manola comparison. Oh, living in
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: the past, I got you. It makes sense, res Dog
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: Notre Dame is more relevant than Pitbull. I would say
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: that you're right, and monkey's riding dogs? Is it the
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: skull shaver Brad called pit Bull? What is he talking about?
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: Is there a skull shaver named Pitbull?
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:37:03Speaker 4: I don't now, let's see, I don't think that's actually
- 1:37:07Speaker 4: the loose singer pit Bull. Who's responsible for it? Let's
- 1:37:12Speaker 4: drop another gem of a lyric. Picture that with a Kodak,
- 1:37:19Speaker 4: or better yet, go to Times Square, take a picture
- 1:37:21Speaker 4: of me with a kodak. This man rhymed the word
- 1:37:24Speaker 4: kodak with kodak in.
- 1:37:26Speaker 2: A song one time. Well is it really rhyming if
- 1:37:29Speaker 2: you repeat it? I guess in his world it is right.
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: Let's see, are you still paying attention? Is anything going
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: good going on in the Olympics? Is that over yet?
- 1:37:38Speaker 2: Everything good is going on in the Olympics? Jake, What's
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: what's going on today? This morning?
- 1:37:47Speaker 4: What did I watch? I watched table tennis for a
- 1:37:49Speaker 4: little bit. Let's see.
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: This morning.
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: Okay. I can't.
- 1:37:58Speaker 4: I can't sit here and try to act like this
- 1:38:00Speaker 4: morning was fantastic. I did look at table tennis. But
- 1:38:06Speaker 4: we're getting to the big events now. This week, well,
- 1:38:09Speaker 4: we just got to the track and field. You watch
- 1:38:11Speaker 4: the replay of that one hundred meters. Yeah, because you
- 1:38:16Speaker 4: refuse to watch it live. Well, I just I didn't
- 1:38:18Speaker 4: know what was going on. But don't don't worry. We're
- 1:38:20Speaker 4: getting into the breaking. I believe that's Friday and Saturday.
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: The breaking is Friday and Saturday. Yeah, Space Ghost. Luke
- 1:38:30Speaker 2: Brian rhymes up with the word up a lot.
- 1:38:37Speaker 3: What is this?
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: What does this? I don't even know what this means?
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: What is he talking about? Luke Brian broke country. Yeah,
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: that makes sense.
- 1:38:46Speaker 4: I'm not familiar with any of his songs, but he's
- 1:38:49Speaker 4: it seems like he would rhyme.
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: Up with up, up with up. SEC is moving towards
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: adding mandatory injury reports. Did you see this Southeasternford's football?
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: The SEC is considering requiring mandatory injury reports in the
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: twenty twenty four campaign year, per CBA Sports Alex Scarborough
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: and John Talty. On Tuesday, the pair provided further details
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: on the matter. Quote. A mandatory injury report hasn't been
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: officially approved, but multiple sources indicate the details are close
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: to being finalized and are expected to be in place
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: at the start of the season this year. A decision
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: could come as early as next week, when large athletic
- 1:39:29Speaker 2: directors are scheduled to meet quote. The Big Ten became
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: the first Power five conference to institute a game day
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: availability report during the twenty twenty three season, move designed
- 1:39:39Speaker 2: to protect the integrity of the game with respect to gambling.
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: The league's weekly report had two categories for injured players,
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: you have questionable and you have out. Some SEC schools
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: like LSU and Florida released weekly injury reports last season,
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: but the majority opted against the practice. It's got a gator, Matt, Matt,
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: how are you?
- 1:40:00Speaker 6: I mean, you disrespect me one time this week and
- 1:40:02Speaker 6: now you're going to disrespect us all. What is your
- 1:40:05Speaker 6: problem with the Olympics? Jake Wimberly, What do you mean?
- 1:40:08Speaker 6: I mean, you don't, I mean you just you scoff
- 1:40:11Speaker 6: at it, you know.
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: I mean it's commentary.
- 1:40:14Speaker 6: You need to You need to root for our athletes.
- 1:40:19Speaker 6: You need to appreciate the product that they're putting on
- 1:40:22Speaker 6: the tip. I'll tell you what, Jake, Just ride around
- 1:40:24Speaker 6: that jeep with your hot sticker and listen to Greta
- 1:40:26Speaker 6: van Fleet all day.
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: Bye see you, Matt. He's not happy with me. I
- 1:40:33Speaker 2: don't even know who he speaks of who is Greta
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: van fleet.
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: Vliet? Who is that?
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: What is she think? The band? Oh? Are you glad
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: that we're gonna have an injury report in college football
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: in the SEC.
- 1:40:48Speaker 4: The sidestepping those Olympics again?
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: No, I mean.
- 1:40:52Speaker 4: Matt calls in. Matt is a respected member of the community.
- 1:40:57Speaker 4: He is, and he is now calling in, and he's
- 1:41:00Speaker 4: on you for just poo pooing these Olympics.
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: It's not just me. I'm not poop pooing the Olympics.
- 1:41:08Speaker 2: I just have no interest in them. I hope the
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: USA wins all the goals, but I won't be there
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: to see it. Now, you do this sometimes with stuff.
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: There's things you just want. You will not watch college baseball.
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: I don't think you watched an inning of the College
- 1:41:28Speaker 2: World Series.
- 1:41:29Speaker 3: No, you know what?
- 1:41:30Speaker 4: Oh, you know what now that you mention it, I
- 1:41:34Speaker 4: broke my streak now that I think about that, because
- 1:41:38Speaker 4: the College World Series was the only times I watched
- 1:41:42Speaker 4: this entire season.
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: I watched.
- 1:41:46Speaker 4: Six innings of one game and two three innings of another,
- 1:41:55Speaker 4: So I did watch during the World Series.
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: Jac says that the Swede setting the pole vault record
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: was electric. Now I did see a pole vault snaffo.
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: I did see that all on X. I didn't see
- 1:42:11Speaker 2: that one turo college baseball better than only fans. That
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: is a heck of a comparison. That's almost like pitbull

- 1:44:21Speaker 2: I've ever seen a hammer throw in the pole vault event.
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: And the snapoo you referred to was the only time
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: I've ever seen a hammer throw in the pole vault event. Poston, Nick, Joe,
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: we should come up with a list of entertainers to
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: sponsor SEC stadiums. That could be funny. Jake didn't all that.
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: Jake didn't want all stadiums sponsored by Crablegs Winston. So
- 1:44:44Speaker 2: who would sponsor? He said, entertainers so that could span
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: the spectrum right. That could be musicians, that could be
- 1:44:55Speaker 2: movie stars or whatever. Who would you put on ole Miss.
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: Who's gonna sponsor all Miss? Is it gonna be maybe
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: Morgan Freeman from the Delta that part of the world. Oh, Miss,
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: you got to think about that one. My brain just
- 1:45:16Speaker 2: when I first read that just went immediately. Do I
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: know Who's getting Tennessee. That's the only one I've thought
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: of so far? Yeah, yep, what what? I'm sorry? I
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: was sucking to Morgan Freeman. How did you know? I mean,
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: if he's got a bar and grill, that's gonna fall
- 1:45:31Speaker 2: in Nashville. Sure, well that's what other people say. That's
- 1:45:34Speaker 2: not gonna work. I have no idea. Yeah, then maybe
- 1:45:36Speaker 2: it's Morgan Wallan Stadium. Oh no, get brace yourself. Any
- 1:45:42Speaker 2: Tennessee fans walling Kneeland. You're gonna keep Kneeland. No, you're
- 1:45:47Speaker 2: putting walling with it? Enjoy it. Wallin Kneeland Stadium. That's good.
- 1:45:54Speaker 2: That actually makes sense. Walling Kneeland Stadium. And there's Morgan
- 1:46:00Speaker 2: Walling and Peyton Manning hanging out there wall and Kneeland
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: Stadium at Peyton Manning Field, We'll got Tennessee wrapped up.
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: So we're gonna go with Morgan Freeman on Ole Miss
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: placeholder for now. Morgan Freeman Vault, Hemingway, that's a mouthful.
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: What about Missippi State or would all miss choose John
- 1:46:28Speaker 2: Grisham John Grisham Stadium?
- 1:46:35Speaker 4: Chrish Yeah, yeah, I guess you've got to do something
- 1:46:40Speaker 4: for your your your writers that come from there.
- 1:46:43Speaker 2: So what about Missippi State? Who you put on their stadium?
- 1:46:48Speaker 2: And you gotta think Alabama. It's got to be somebody
- 1:46:50Speaker 2: from NASCAR, doesn't it. No Earnhardt Junior Stadium. Give saman
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: the stadium. He's already got enough and he's got the field,
- 1:47:03Speaker 2: he owns the place. He's not giving anything up, is he?
- 1:47:06Speaker 2: And I guess he would be a celebrity for sure.
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: Kenny Chesney, Is he gonna pick up LSU?
- 1:47:15Speaker 4: He?
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: Is he gonna pick up Florida?
- 1:47:18Speaker 4: Oh, he's one of these facos who straddled a huge
- 1:47:23Speaker 4: fence just because he wanted to be one of these
- 1:47:26Speaker 4: fake entertainers because he's always been, you know, he always
- 1:47:30Speaker 4: claimed he was a huge Tennessee fan, Tennessee guy. But
- 1:47:33Speaker 4: I remember back when Tim Tebow was playing at Florida,
- 1:47:38Speaker 4: Chesney did a concert there and he brought Tibo out
- 1:47:41Speaker 4: on the stage. I think Tibo's out of the stage,
- 1:47:44Speaker 4: But I do remember Chesney was doing the gator chomp,
- 1:47:47Speaker 4: and Okay, if you're a big, massive Tennessee fan the
- 1:47:51Speaker 4: way he claimed, you don't do the gator chomp.
- 1:47:54Speaker 2: You can't.
- 1:47:56Speaker 4: You can't find it in your heart to do that.
- 1:48:00Speaker 4: So I never thought he was the big fan he
- 1:48:03Speaker 4: claimed to be.
- 1:48:05Speaker 2: JC Jake BV ranked these from least useless to the
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: most useless, least useless to the most useless. The Olympics,
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: jeep ducks, the new Spillway stoplight, and Fauci. So they've
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: got the new spillway stoplights blinking. You see that. Yeah,
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: they're getting getting your eye.
- 1:48:27Speaker 4: Oh no, they're working now. Oh they're working this morning.
- 1:48:30Speaker 4: First time I saw it. Okay, so it was green.
- 1:48:32Speaker 2: If I said least useless to most useless, all right,
- 1:48:36Speaker 2: I'm gonna put Fauci at the most useless part. Then
- 1:48:40Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna go the Olympics and then jeep ducks
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: and then spillway stop light. I think that's the least useless.
- 1:48:47Speaker 2: What do you got?
- 1:48:49Speaker 4: The ducks are number one, flat out, most useless thing
- 1:48:52Speaker 4: we've seen in a long time.
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: What do you mean the kids love them?
- 1:48:55Speaker 4: Jeep ducks are stupid. Let's see Fauci spillway light and
- 1:49:08Speaker 4: the Olympics are certainly the least useless.
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: Are we gonna keep this? And I'm just looking at
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: stuff like thinking about is it useless or not? Remember
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: the Mayo dump Duke's Mayo Classic? Is that going to
- 1:49:20Speaker 2: stick around with all this change in college football? It's
- 1:49:24Speaker 2: got to. I think that's the only I mean, that's
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: the real charm, the real.
- 1:49:30Speaker 4: You know, bowls try to differentiate themselves from each other,
- 1:49:33Speaker 4: and that's that's a that's a big differentiating factor. There
- 1:49:39Speaker 4: the only bowl where we're dumping mayonnaise on somebody. So yeah,
- 1:49:42Speaker 4: I think they got to keep it.
- 1:49:45Speaker 2: Speaking of useless, Bill Conley sp Plus he has broken
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: down college football tiers of underachievers, underachievers in college football
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: he's he says, he's got his college football no show Tier.
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about this team, penn State. He
- 1:50:06Speaker 2: puts them in the college football No show tier. He says,
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: massive stadium, highest profile program in football, craze state in Pennsylvania,
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: top blue blood program in the Northeast region with direct
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: recruiting access to New Jersey and New York City markets.
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: He said, why are they underachiever. Arguably, no program should
- 1:50:25Speaker 2: benefit more from the college football playoff expansion from four
- 1:50:28Speaker 2: to twelve than Penn State, and he lines have finished
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: in the top twelve of the final College Football Playoffs
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: standing six times since twenty sixteen, but they just can't
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: get over the hump, so he calls them a massive underachiever.
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: Would you agree? Yep? Next on this list, Florida. I
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: tend to agree with him. Their last conference national championship
- 1:50:51Speaker 2: was in two thousand and eight, and for Penn State
- 1:50:54Speaker 2: twenty sixteen was the conference nineteen eighty six for the
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: national but talks about the assets for the Gators large
- 1:51:01Speaker 2: stadium and fan based, flagship school, and elite recruiting state,
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: history of strong quarterback play and exciting offenses, but they
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: have vastly underachieved. Florida has had two dominant stretches under
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: iconic coaches. Of course, we know spuryer Went did the
- 1:51:16Speaker 2: thing first one two and twenty seven and one at
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: is alma mater, six SEC titles, a national championship in
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: ninety six. No ap POL finished lower than thirteenth Urban Meyer.
- 1:51:27Speaker 2: We know what he did in six and o eight,
- 1:51:30Speaker 2: but outside of that, they've done nothing USC. He puts
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: USC in this boat last conference and national title twenty seventeen.
- 1:51:38Speaker 2: They won the PAC twelve, two thousand and four national champion.
- 1:51:42Speaker 2: They have everything, location and recruiting, media, entertainment hotbed decorated
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: history both for teams and individual stars, deep pocket boosters.
- 1:51:52Speaker 2: But USC has been been here before, suffering through middling
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: stretches in the nineteen eighties and nineties before peepe Earrel
- 1:52:01Speaker 2: and their incredible run seven straight top four finishes in
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: two thousand and two to two thousand and eight says
- 1:52:06Speaker 2: the Trojans might not become the sports dominant program again,
- 1:52:10Speaker 2: but there certainly can be the best in the West,
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: boasting a far more tradition. So eleven, I, like hay Frames,
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: has claimed national titles, thirty seven conference titles, eight Heisman winners.
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: Let's see here, ugly bustard pork chalk Womack Wade Stadium.
- 1:52:30Speaker 2: So he is putting port Chalk Womack on the Missisippi
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: state brand. Will Ole mess Katie Perry Stadium. I was
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: waiting for somebody to do that. Let's got a jay, Jay,
- 1:52:43Speaker 2: welcome in, brother.
- 1:52:43Speaker 9: How you doing doing good man? You was talking earlier
- 1:52:47Speaker 9: about the Mississippi College football. Yes, if Missippi College want
- 1:52:52Speaker 9: to sell their brand, want to put people in the stands,
- 1:52:55Speaker 9: they need to recruit more locally in here, in the
- 1:52:57Speaker 9: Mittell area and the surround the areas. These schools around
- 1:53:01Speaker 9: here are doing really good, but they are going way
- 1:53:03Speaker 9: out of the state Louisianna recruiting kids and Alabama and
- 1:53:07Speaker 9: bringing kids in. You gotta start in your backyard. You
- 1:53:10Speaker 9: gotta look at a program like the Clinton Madison Senser
- 1:53:13Speaker 9: in the Ranking County area Jackson here, they don't do
- 1:53:16Speaker 9: none of it. So of course you're going to get
- 1:53:18Speaker 9: forgot about it.
- 1:53:20Speaker 2: No, I think you're actually right one hundred percent. And look,
- 1:53:22Speaker 2: we'll have Mike Kershaw, the head football coach at Missispi
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: College on here and I spoke today and thank you Jay.
- 1:53:27Speaker 2: He mentioned that he mentioned that that nothing against the
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: rosters that have come through Misissippi College, but not a
- 1:53:36Speaker 2: lot of Missippi talent. Got a head scratching, and he
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: he's already figured it out, like he says, Look, we've
- 1:53:44Speaker 2: got talent all round here. Can't everybody go to state? No,
- 1:53:47Speaker 2: miss can everybody go to Jackson State. There's a lot
- 1:53:51Speaker 2: of talent right here. Delta State has proven this. Of course,
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: Kershaw I believe was a part of some of those
- 1:53:58Speaker 2: Delta State teams as a coach as well. So yeah,
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: Missipi College, I would anticipate seeing more Mississippi College activity
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: on the recruiting footprint locally. Moving forward, six hour one
- 1:54:12Speaker 2: eight five three, seven, seven six, we are brought to you.

- 1:55:11Speaker 2: we'll go ahead and have to. I got to pick.
- 1:55:13Speaker 2: I gotta bet the Super Bowl. I gotta go ahead
- 1:55:15Speaker 2: and do it. I gotta pull the trigger here, talk
- 1:55:17Speaker 2: about the here and just second, David Murray join us
- 1:55:20Speaker 2: today jeenis pages dot com. Thanks to David, Thanks to
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: Kelly Ford. You'll have Rob j coming in with we
- 1:55:26Speaker 2: need award here in just a bit, so stick around,
- 1:55:29Speaker 2: all right. So I got to get this NFL pick done,
- 1:55:33Speaker 2: and I've been I'm normally I've already got my college
- 1:55:36Speaker 2: pick in. Organ's done. Organ's been in. But I have
- 1:55:39Speaker 2: waffled on this NFL pick. And the way I do
- 1:55:42Speaker 2: this is a future pick, and that I'm not just
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: I'm betting a value pick. So who has the best
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: value The Chiefs and the forty nine ers obviously are
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: you know, they're getting all the love is they should
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: in the NFL to win the Super Bowl, and some
- 1:56:00Speaker 2: of these I've hitting some of these them out hit
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: the Rams a couple years ago, got them at eleven
- 1:56:03Speaker 2: to one. But I'm not playing the Chiefs at five
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: point fifty and I'm not playing the forty nine Ers
- 1:56:09Speaker 2: at six fifty, so who is the value? Baltimore next
- 1:56:14Speaker 2: at nine and a half to one, which means if
- 1:56:16Speaker 2: you bat one hundred bucks, you went nine to fifty.
- 1:56:19Speaker 2: I don't believe in Lamar Jackson in the playoffs until
- 1:56:21Speaker 2: he shows me Detroit twelve to one. I think that
- 1:56:24Speaker 2: they stepped back Cincinnati. They just had an offensive tackle
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: go down. Though, I'm gonna have to go Miami. I
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: feel like unless you can convince me of someone who
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: has better value. Now, our good friend rafael As Farsa
- 1:56:39Speaker 2: says it's the Browns at forty to one.
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: The Browns.
- 1:56:44Speaker 2: No, I still don't believe that. Still do not believe this.
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: Do you know what?
- 1:56:50Speaker 4: Just go back to a pick that you just mentioned
- 1:56:54Speaker 4: from a few years ago. Put it on the Rams
- 1:56:59Speaker 4: thirty to one, twenty eight to one thirty one, depending
- 1:57:01Speaker 4: on the book.
- 1:57:02Speaker 2: Yeah, right there.
- 1:57:04Speaker 4: I have a as a forty nine er fan in
- 1:57:06Speaker 4: that division. I have a healthy respect and almost downright
- 1:57:10Speaker 4: fear of what I think the Rams could be this year.
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: You may have given me my pick because even though
- 1:57:21Speaker 2: the Dolphins have a little bit better value, their path
- 1:57:25Speaker 2: is much harder. Now, that's no disrespect, and I'm serious
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: when I say that to the forty nine ers. But
- 1:57:30Speaker 2: you're right, there's not a lot. It's the forty nine
- 1:57:34Speaker 2: ers and almost everybody else. And like, who's the next team.
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: I don't think it's Philly. I think Philly is a
- 1:57:38Speaker 2: good team. It's a playoff team. I don't think it's Detroit.
- 1:57:41Speaker 2: I don't think it's Green Bay yet, Sure not Dallas.
- 1:57:46Speaker 2: Maybe it is the Rams, Maybe it's McVeigh. Maybe it's
- 1:57:49Speaker 2: just time to get back in the mirror and get
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: back in the spotlight. What do you think?
- 1:57:54Speaker 4: I feel like, And it's still a long shot to
- 1:57:57Speaker 4: think they can jump right back up to there.
- 1:58:00Speaker 2: But I think it's just as good as Texans.
- 1:58:05Speaker 4: That I love the Texans, but no, I see them
- 1:58:08Speaker 4: nowhere near the super Bowl. I think it's just as
- 1:58:10Speaker 4: good as throwing something on the Texans. The Bengals are
- 1:58:13Speaker 4: popular Bills every year, get that out of here. Cowboys, nonsense,
- 1:58:20Speaker 4: Dolphins unless unless they were to go all the way
- 1:58:23Speaker 4: through with home field advantage, Even then the super Bowl
- 1:58:27Speaker 4: would have probably have to be in Miami. So no,
- 1:58:29Speaker 4: it's just as good as anything.
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: Yeah, monkey's riding dogs. We's the Texans. I think you're
- 1:58:34Speaker 2: right Texans are sixteen to one, but I'm like you,
- 1:58:36Speaker 2: I don't think they're ready yet. They're good, They're building
- 1:58:39Speaker 2: a heck of a squad. I just think they're a
- 1:58:41Speaker 2: year off, maybe two. QB one put it all on
- 1:58:44Speaker 2: the Saints. Can't do that. Blair from Brandon spells out
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: j Ets, Jets, Jets, Jets. That's what I picked last
- 1:58:55Speaker 2: year and that got me four plays. Was I a
- 1:58:58Speaker 2: year too early?
- 1:58:59Speaker 4: Though?
- 1:59:00Speaker 2: Nope, nope, nope. Twenty to one. You can get the Jets.
- 1:59:04Speaker 2: Can Aaron Rodgers manifest this thing into a championship? He cannot.
- 1:59:11Speaker 2: Let's see possum Nick Joe last one. I promise you
- 1:59:15Speaker 2: mentioned Dell Earnhardt. These stadiums may end up like those cars,
- 1:59:20Speaker 2: stickers all over them, very well could. J C says
- 1:59:26Speaker 2: that Mississippi State refuses to see John grisham Ole Miss.
- 1:59:32Speaker 2: I have heard that my whole life. He just went
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: to law school at Ole, Miss but went to undergraduated State.
- 1:59:40Speaker 2: But we'd rather have Jerry Klower's name on the stadium anyway,
- 1:59:43Speaker 2: or machine Gun Kelly the Rapper of the Quarterback. You
- 1:59:48Speaker 2: do have to right then, somebody mentioned Katie Perry Stadium
- 1:59:52Speaker 2: at Ole miss What do you think about that, Katie?
- 1:59:58Speaker 4: We have just ended the the way we began by
- 2:00:01Speaker 4: going back ten years. That was that twenty fourteen visit
- 2:00:06Speaker 4: when she made or wouldn't she made that visit?
- 2:00:09Speaker 2: No, you're absolutely right. I didn't even think about that.
- 2:00:12Speaker 2: Let's see if I missed anything. I don't think I did.
- 2:00:17Speaker 2: Let's see what else we got out here? JC the
- 2:00:19Speaker 2: original machine gun, Kelly, the one was a bootlegger in
- 2:00:23Speaker 2: bootlegger in an outlaw that guy. So it's either gonna
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: be the Rams? Is the Rams? The best pick? Is
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: that really the best pick? Why do they scare you?
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: I mean I know that they get after them, the
- 2:00:33Speaker 2: forty nine ers, they get after each other?
- 2:00:36Speaker 10: Is that?
- 2:00:37Speaker 3: Why?
- 2:00:40Speaker 1: Why?
- 2:00:40Speaker 6: What?
- 2:00:40Speaker 2: Why they scare you?
- 2:00:42Speaker 3: Oh?
- 2:00:43Speaker 4: I just think that offense Stafford completely healthy. The Pook's
- 2:00:49Speaker 4: pooka Nakua Cooper cup, good defense, A lot of pieces
- 2:00:57Speaker 4: out there. Who is their running back? Their running back
- 2:01:03Speaker 4: keeps changing?
- 2:01:05Speaker 2: It does?
- 2:01:05Speaker 4: I can't remember, I can't remember. But that offense though,
- 2:01:08Speaker 4: that offense is impressive.
- 2:01:12Speaker 2: I'm really worried about the Kelly Stafford effects. I feel
- 2:01:15Speaker 2: like that she might have damaged that team internally, don't
- 2:01:21Speaker 2: you worry about that and the fact that they the
- 2:01:23Speaker 2: Stafford's bought not one but two of Drake's houses. And
- 2:01:27Speaker 2: since that Super Bowl when it has been almost a curse,
- 2:01:30Speaker 2: I believe that between Drake's living in Drake's houses and
- 2:01:34Speaker 2: the Kelly Stafford effect, I mean, she's able to cut
- 2:01:37Speaker 2: a podcast next week and talk about the next guy
- 2:01:39Speaker 2: she cheated on Matthew with allegedly.
- 2:01:41Speaker 4: Oh you know, she is probably tempting fate too, because
- 2:01:44Speaker 4: now she's featured heavily.
- 2:01:47Speaker 2: Her and matt are.
- 2:01:50Speaker 4: Endorsing an online service where you can draw up and
- 2:01:54Speaker 4: sign a will. She's in the kitchen so lovingly talking
- 2:01:58Speaker 4: to Matthew and she said, it's really important to know
- 2:02:01Speaker 4: what's gonna happen.
- 2:02:02Speaker 2: What's gonna happen when you die? Are you serious? He
- 2:02:08Speaker 2: better watch her. I'm telling you she's liable to smoke him.
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: It could happen. It's just got sinister. He really did well.
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: Why is why is she of all the businesses doing that.
- 2:02:23Speaker 2: I'm telling you, ma'am, Ugly Mustard, don't sleep on the Texans.
- 2:02:27Speaker 2: The talent is unreal. Dark Horse. I like the Texans.
- 2:02:31Speaker 2: I just and look, they may do it. They may cut.
- 2:02:34Speaker 2: Look they're sixteen to one. That's not that far off.
- 2:02:37Speaker 2: They're right there with the Eagles and the Packers, right
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: behind the Bengals and the Bulls.
- 2:02:44Speaker 4: J C.
- 2:02:44Speaker 2: Beeve what's better? Jeep ducks or truck nuts? Oh give
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: me the ducks. It's the ducks. Yeah, those Joe's truck
- 2:02:58Speaker 2: you know, not gonna truck truck bobs.
- 2:03:01Speaker 1: There we go.
- 2:03:01Speaker 4: Now that's just dumb. I mean, the ducks are dumb.
- 2:03:05Speaker 4: But look, they're fun, colorful ducks. It's it's fun until
- 2:03:13Speaker 4: you realize that it's just this trend that everyone jumped
- 2:03:17Speaker 4: on like, oh I got I got a Jeep. That's
- 2:03:21Speaker 4: why people buy jeeps, by the way, is because now
- 2:03:24Speaker 4: you you really I think you got a history of
- 2:03:27Speaker 4: really loving jeeps. Do But that's my So many people,
- 2:03:32Speaker 4: not everybody, not putting everybody in that, but so many
- 2:03:37Speaker 4: people that have Jeeps these days buy it because it's
- 2:03:41Speaker 4: a trend because the jeep has become so big, not
- 2:03:44Speaker 4: because they love a Jeep. That's a lot of people.
- 2:03:48Speaker 4: And then the ducks just piled onto that trend on
- 2:03:51Speaker 4: top of trend. But if those are my two options,
- 2:03:54Speaker 4: at least the ducks are fun.
- 2:03:57Speaker 2: Salty Dogs that he has taken the Packers. Yeah, you
- 2:04:01Speaker 2: get the Packers right now for nineteen to one. So
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: there's a good value with some of these picks. I mean,
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: for sure, Texans Packers again. Vegas is playing with everybody
- 2:04:12Speaker 2: put in Dallas at twenty to one. You know, there's
- 2:04:15Speaker 2: another story out here about the Cowboys going after Shdor Sanders.
- 2:04:19Speaker 2: I told you this thing is going to happen. That's
- 2:04:22Speaker 2: what I think is gonna happen. Dion's got that one
- 2:04:27Speaker 2: year left in college. I think they are privately trying
- 2:04:33Speaker 2: to take advantage of Jerry Jones' inability to think. And
- 2:04:37Speaker 2: I think they're going to probably be in Dallas next year.
- 2:04:41Speaker 2: Something to watch thanks to David Murray, Thanks to Kelly Ford.
