  Speaker 1: All right, welcome back in o t B. Here live
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: from Tampa, continuing our coverage of SEC media days.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Speaking of the river being wed, we are right here
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: waterfront in Tampa, Florida, Tampa, Florida, USA, right here, and
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: uh man, they got us live in high society in
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: these fancy hotels right here on the bay.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It is. It's got. Have you you been to Miami before?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm paying once. I came to Tampa one time.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I think it was was that our rookie year when
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the super Bowl was here was their second year, our
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: rookie year. I thought it was in like an indoor stadium.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Maybe I don't think, because I think it was here
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: our rookie year. It was the next year the Cardinals
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: right then the next year it was something or Detroit
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: or something. I don't know. I guess it could have been.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I remember we came down here because we always had
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: access to Super Bowl tickets and you would get them
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: at face value. So most of the people, especially people
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: on rookie contracts, we would buy as many tickets as
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: we could through a player.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: It was Steelers Arizona here in Tampa, yes.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: And the next year was New Orleans and South Beach, right, yes,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: So we'd always go and but you had to we
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: get his Nate tickets. We could, so we could we
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: could sell them, uh and say, you'd always.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Have to cuts not within the rules, Matthew, why you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: can't sell your super Bowl ticket? But I owned them
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: after I bought them, you know, and I know that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you still can't do that.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I didn't. I hadn't come, I hadn't come
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: here to get them though, so I could definitely go.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I could definitely use them and go. Yeah, so you
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: had to come and get them in person, though, that
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: was the rule, So you can. I'm pretty sure that
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: they could do whatever you ever. Once you had them,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: you could do whatever you wanted with them.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So I don't think I think people have actually gotten
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in trouble for selling their Super Bowl tickets value. So
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you flew from Green Bay to Tampa to pick up
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: tickets and then sold them for face value.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it made it worthwhile. Oh yeah, yep, for sure.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: It definitely didn't pay for the trip. Hmm plus a
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: little that's a little profit one.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: See, that's the difference between like quarterbacks and fullback. See,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: everybody around me was doing that. I'm like, look, you
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: ain't about to catch my ass getting cut because I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: was selling Super Bowl tickets.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: No one was watching.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But if they would, who's the first to go the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: full back back? That's a good point. So we also
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: seventh round quarterback. That's true, that's fair. But you did
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: beat out a second round pick. Yep, so you're basically
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: like a fourth round yeah, with about four and a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: half five Yeah, yeah, story of your life, you know
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. All Right, So we got Kentucky, we've
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: got Miszoo, Oklahoma, and you gotta be excited to hopefully
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: like find your way to talk to a tier. He
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: feels like you're kind of guy.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Is that? Let's see looking at the list, is he
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: see the only quarterback here today?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Minschi's here from Kentucky.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. But I'm excited to see to
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: hear from a tire. I'm sure he'll get a lot
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: of you know, of course, Oklahoma playoff team. But my god,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: did they look depleted on offense a lot last year.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Because after he broke his thumb or whatever.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: But he had surgery the week you, same week he played.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. I don't think it ever
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: fully healed and you would be able to speak what
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: your throwing hand thumb would do for you.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's what separates us from the animals thumbs
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: heard that as well. Yeah, so uh, pretty big deal,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I would say, especially if you're trying to grow up
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: and throw a football at a very high level on
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: a playoff caliber team. So yeah, it's I think that
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: John Mattire is one of these kind of dark horses
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: leading into this SEC. I think there was a lot
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: of buzz with him last year. It's a lot of
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: the unknown, like all the things he was able to
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: do in Washington State, like the things he was able
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to do there, and of course like coming off the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: heels of camp Ward and what he did from Washington
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: saying and then going to Miami, like could Matir kind
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: of to bring the same energy.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: To the sect hisself?
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And he was like and look, he was a dark
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: like a lot of people were. There was a lot
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: of buzz with him last year, even with like the
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: you know at the time, all these for sure top
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: draft pick quarterbacks that were in the SEC that didn't
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: pan out, of course, but like they were still talking
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: about I don't really feel like that buzz is anywhere
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: close to it was last year at this time. Now
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: we'll see throughout the week and especially today with Oklahoma going.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: But he didn't get worse the football since last year,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I can promise you that. And I don't think that
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: the injury and what he had to play through and
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: what he did play through and not to the best
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: of his ability, I don't think that, you know, I
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: don't think that gets talked about enough. I mean, you
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: heard your throwing hand. That's that's that's the ability.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And he was one of my favorite guys to catch
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: up with last year because I didn't know him, didn't
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: know if he was what his personality was, and know
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: if he was good bad way. I knew he's from Texas,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and I knew he went all the way up to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Wazoo because that was his opportunity, right there was a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: coach that fell in love with him, and then he
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: got a job at Wazoo. So he found a way
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to get John Matier there as well. But I walked
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: away being like, I want that guy on my team.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I want that guy leading the charge like he was awesome,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and he is somebody that can even if those around
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: him aren't great, he can elevate their level of play,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: which I always think my favorite attribute in a quarterback.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And we talk about with Tyler Shuck all the time
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: in New Orleans. Right, the guy before him cannot play bad,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: but there's something about Tyler Shuck that, Hey, guys started
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: catching the football, I started making plays. Guys started being
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: who they should have been but they weren't. That is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a skill that you you have it or you don't.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You can't work on it, you can't practice it. But
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I feel like my tears got a little bit of that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like throughout his career and when he's
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: been so dynamic as when he's been a play making
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: quarter like a playmaker quarterback and off schedule like comfortable,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: like in the uncomfortable controlled chaos is kind of where
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: he thrives. Maybe not as much five step hit that
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: back hit that back foot and throw and go one,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: two three. Yeah, maybe it's like I'm gonna hit that
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: back foot and throw if it's there. But then things
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: being chaos around him, which of course is SEC. You're
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: going against the best defenses in the country. There is
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: going to be chaos. But when you have something an injury,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: especially on a throwing hand, I mean, my god, that
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: kind of takes that ability away. You can't just go
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: out there and let her rip. You can't go out
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: there and play a little backyard ball. It's just harder
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: to do that. So when you get injured like that,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I can only imagine game planning for Oklahoma leaning into
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: those games like, all right, these this, this, and this throw,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: we're pretty much out of here. We have to run
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: our screens, we got to do our three step drop game.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: We have to kind of change the way we're uh
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: calling a game, game planning. So I look forward to,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: you know, when they play, you know, other people when
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: they play this stuff like seeing him play really well,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: because I think he's a he could be a dynamic
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: playmaker in the SEC, because he has shown it in
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: college football.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and their defense brings a lot of people back
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and remember it was a playoff team a year ago.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Brent Vinnables is as old school as they come. I mean,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: he's got that old coaching voice because he yells so much,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: kind of talks like this because he can't help it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: That's Brent Vintables, right, And I love that the man
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: still runs stadiums every single day. When he wakes up,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: his first thing he does is hit the stadiums. He
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: is going to have them me nasty and tough. It's like,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: do they have enough offensively? He's going to be the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: question of the defense feels like it's going to be
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: there for another playoff type run. But they do have
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a tight end. That off name alone is probably going
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to be enough. This man's name is Rocky Beers.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Aldabierz.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: His name is Rocky Beers.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I'll bring to beers. My god, that's incredible.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So you got two part Rocky yep.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: One beer speaks for itself, Beers, Rocky beaks for itself.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Rocky Beers.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: A little upset they didn't bring Rocky Beers to the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: media day.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Now? This is Rocky Beers for School, Colorado State, Florida
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: International Air Force, Now Oklahoma.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Look at this guy. He's got a fou manchew in
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: his picture. That man looks like he's drunk some beers.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's deleted some He.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Looks like he definitely says brother.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Who says brother Moore wit Weeks or Rocky Beers.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine those two talking to each other? Brother, Yeah,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: we never heard We've never heard Rocky Beers speak a
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: word of English and uh, but we can imagine what
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: his voice sounds like. And it's I think it sounds
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: a lot like whit Weeks, but a little rasp beer.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, feel a little bit of rasp. Yeah, because sometimes
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: when Witt says that he's kind of got a little
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: iaugh to it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: He got a little laugh too, a lot of joy
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: and his voice lot of glee, Old Rocky Beers. He's
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: got a little pain behind his eyes. I can feel it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: He's got a little pain in that voice.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, brother, I've been four schools. Man, I'm kind of
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: pissed a Rocky Beers isn't here now.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: If I'm gonna be really honest with you, I'd rather
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: see him than Eddie Pierre Lewis. Yeah, all those shout
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: outs Eddie Pierre Lewis.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my tears. Great.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Hopefully we get to talk to him.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: It'd be great. And we'd ask him, why you're not
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Rocky Beers?
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Where's rock At?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask me tear about I'm gonna check the schedule.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I sincerely hope that I have Matier just so I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: can ask him about Rocky Beers.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, No, we need to get him on this
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: show so I can ask him if Old Rocky lives
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: up to his name.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I gotta check that out.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Sure he loves those sis?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all of them? What else would he drink?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Nothing? Smart? Oh?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I mean did they have those sekis on the island?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, all of them. I mean I didn't know
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: it was. It was something harder to find, you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the importing. There was a there was a Caribbean understanding.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: There was a Caribbean beer that I had never heard
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: of that was pretty prolific in the area, which you know, importation,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: all those rules. I can only imagine how tough it
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: is to get all the beers there. But yeah, they
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: had But they had plenty of beverages there. I do
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: know that. You know, they have less.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Now they had a lot. They had a lot, Now
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: they have less. I don't get Oklahoma, dude, I get Tennessee.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the schedule. I get Tennessee and I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: get Kentucky and one Missouri player. I don't get Materier
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this year. I know, I get Kenny Minshi, but he
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: didn't have a tight end and he didn't have a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: named rocking beer.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I say, you just don't go.

• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and telling old stories. I can't imagine for you, Tony.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, so many years covering college football in the SEC,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: so many great memories, the iconic stadiums, obviously like they
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: each have their own moments, But trying to get all
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: of that and try to pick out the very best ones,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the ones that everybody remembers, that had to be incredibly difficult.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Well it was difficult, but it was easy from this standpoint.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I decided that I was going to do a chapter
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: on each of the sixteen teams in the SEC. What's
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: my favorite memory at LSU? It's the visit you and
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: I had. What's my favorite visit? What's my favorite memory
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: or memory Tennessee? You remember will Over Street, great player
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: at Tennessee. I interviewed him when I was halfway to
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Knoxville on nine to eleven when the plane hit the
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: twin towers and I kept on to Knoxville and interviewed
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: will Over Street and he came to the interview in
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: his practice gear, holding up a cell phone. I said,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: what's wrong, Will? He says, my sister's at the Pentagon
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: and I can't find her. And I will never forget
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: that day. He finally found her at the end of
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: the day. But looking at will and the personal struggle
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: to you, But each school has a memory like that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: For me, it's not about great coaches and great and
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: this is about personal memories.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: That'sunny when you were trying to think of these different memories. Yeah,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you've got tons, tons of awesome memories that
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: all these different schools. Maybe some maybe more some than others.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Did you have to kind of write a bullet point
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: lest like, these are my top memories from this school,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: this school. They have to narrow it down a little
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: playoff bracket of each of these memories.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Now, But basically what I did, I said, Okay, let's
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: go I just told you about the Tennessee memory. Let's
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: go to South Carolina. South Carolina. I was there on
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: the day when Steven Garcia and called his best game.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Steve Spurry called his best game. South Carolina upset number
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: one Alabama, the defending national champions in Columbia. South Carolina,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: and I talked to talked to Steven Garcia, I talked
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: to coach Spurry, went to go see him. So I
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: had had that one in Georgia. What's my favorite memory
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: of Georgia? I'm so old. The first memory I have
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: of Georgia football. I grew up thirty minutes from the campus,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: went to my h in nineteen sixty five. Georgia upset
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Alabama in Athens on a fleeflick or play to win
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: the game. That was my first memory of Georgia football.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: So that was the one that went in went in
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: the book. So it was once I got on campus
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: to figure out what I wanted to do. Uh, it was.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: It was just an incredible experience to have.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I'm sure the only difficult one had to be Florida,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: because I'm sure there's no good memories of Forda Gators.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: We're Florida haters over here.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Well, I actually the Florida was one of the one
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: of the best because Steve Spurrier, his wife Jerry and
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: my wife Maria are best buddies over the years, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: they put together a reception for me and Coach spur
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: his former players, all of my media buddies down in Florida,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: and oddly enough, we had it at Spurriers Grid and
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: at the end of the night, they said, Tony, you
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: and coach Coach you're gonna toast each other. I said, no,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: it's fine, I can do that. And well, I said,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I bet Coach Spurr is going first, right, yeah, Coach
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Spurs going first. He gets up there and says, well,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: I tell you, my buddies told me. My buddies told
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: me that Tony because he's a bulldog and we know
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: how those bulldogs are. But then I said, no, it's
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: all right. Tony's good. He's not like them, dumb bulldog.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: So that was his toast to me. I said, well, Coach,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: I can only say that you came on my radar
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: in nineteen sixty six when you were getting ready to
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: play Georgia for the SEC championship, and all you had
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: to do was win that one game to finally win
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: an SEC championship for Florida, which they did not have,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: right and I'll just remember that Georgia beating you like
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: a yard dog, and you had you had to wait
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: until nineteen ninety when you finally got to Florida as
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: the head coach to finally win. So we had that
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: was a great uh Knight had all bunch of his
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: former players. Oh yeah, Danny Wirfle, Uh, Danny Wirfel, coach Spurrier,
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Chris During say, Doring had to be there during Durham
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: was there, Shane Matthews was there, and well, what was
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: really really neat about that night, Danny Wirfle you know,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: is that's incredibly busy schedule. And he said, Tony, I'm sorry,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be able to be there. I said,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: I totally understand, Danny. We're five minutes away from starting
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: this event in Walks.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Danny, that's awesome.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: And Danny says, there was no way I was gonna miss. Yes,
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: that's my favorite Florida.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Many over the years. I mean, Tony, you're talking about
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Steve Spurrier, who's got one of the best personalities, certainly
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: would have some of the best quotes from any head coach. UH,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: to say the least, some of the some of the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: you know, soft jabs that he would give other schools.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: But over your time covering the SEC, who are some
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: of those coaches that just kind of stand out to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you that they were always going to give you something
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: that was going to, you know, kind of take off
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: whenever you put it on paper.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Well, back back in the day, Nick Saban was was great.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: He was one of the things we used to do
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: when I first started doing this long long time ago.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: I remember I would tell I would see coach uh,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Coach Saban, I said, coach and Wes Dorman, I and
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Atlanta would do it. Well, they said, said West, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: I want to see he said, come on over here
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: and get this. So he and I we just we
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: sort of kidnapped Nick Saban. And that's the kind of
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: stuff you could do when I first started it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: But he was good, you know.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Nick Saban also remember his dog left the hotel room
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: and came into the main media room.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: That was great.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: I loved it. When Spurrier was asking an open press conference, coach,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: why don't we have a playoff, he said, well, that's
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: commission a Cramer right there. Once you ask him, and
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: he did, uh huh.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: So I'm sure you've got some coach Miles stories as well.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: You know less was that's our guy, that's our coach,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and he used to get that, keeps on giving to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the media.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: For sure, have a.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Great never forget that. I was working for CBS at
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: the time, and I talked to somebody.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: And says, he's not going to Michigan.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: And so I went down to where he's having this
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: press conference in the Georgia Dome.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: He's just and on and I'm going to coach my
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: damn fine ball team.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: And then he ended up with have a great day
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: and said that line would live in infamy.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: We were actually watching that together. So we were in
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the hotel getting ready for the SEC Championship game and
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you were out that game.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: But I remember we watching breakfast. I wanted with the
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: team when Kirk kirk Street pretty much broke it.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: H Yeah, on game day, Well, the CBS guys are
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: calling me because I'm doing the show with Tim Branda
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: and Spencer Tillman. It's true, And so I called somebody
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: said no, it's not true, it's not true, and he's
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: getting ready to have a press conference to say it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The thing for us that we knew as we
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: saw it we knew it wasn't true because we said,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: there's no way that he would have done this, and
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: he would not have told us first there was no
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: way less wasn't that kind of like he would he
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: would have told us, Hey, I played there, I'm a
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Michigan man, I gotta go back whatever, And we would
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: have understood. I think, I mean, that's home for him.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: But when we saw it break and we're like, he
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: didn't less this yet, there's no way it's true.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, And I guess that's the way breaking news happens.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there's news that does break to a team
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: before coaches are ready. But yeah, we knew at the
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: time this can't be true. But again we're sitting there
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: watching it as a team, like looking around eating our eggs.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Between that and eating the grass.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Now, Tony, you've seen a lot of really great football
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: teams in the SEC over a long period of time. Now,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: there's always this argument about you know, me and Jacob
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: argued about all the time about high school football teams,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: like who's the best high school football team? We always
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: like to play the fun game of who's the best
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: football team? And college football history? And I know you
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: can't compare a team from the seventies to the two thousands,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: or the teams or whatever it is, because it's a
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: different style of the ball. But for like, in their
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: moment in time, who's the best SEC football team that
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: you've you've come across?
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Ninety two Alabama, greatest defense that's ever played in this league.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: And that was the way the game was played, Say
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: ninety two Alabama or twenty nineteen LSU.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: How would you have liked to see that defense against
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: that offense? That would have been a show.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: I looked at some film the other day. I mean,
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Joe Burrow, are you kidding me?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Kidding me? I mean, holy So I've been around
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: football a long time, fortunate enough to play on really
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: good football teams, one that won it all. I had
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: never had the feeling covering that team when you go
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: into the stadium, you knew they were gonna win and
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: it didn't matter who played on the other side. I
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: had never in football history, I'd never had that feeling
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: where it didn't matter who it was, where it was,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: that team was going to win.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: And what's amazing is is that as good as Joe
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Burrow was, he was a great, great great, great player.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: They surrounded him with.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: A lot my good players. I got, yeah, yeah, so
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: you topped the bottom. It was it was something. Yeah,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: you know, you watch you watch high school football. Sometimes
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: you watch like a two to a team play, and
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: they got that one guy that's like a top recrew.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: He's going to play at the big school and he
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: just dominates. Right, It's just a different it's just a
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: different game. Well, it seemed like that was Joe Burrow
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: and those receivers that year. They were just playing on
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: a different level. We talked about like he was already
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: an NFL quarterback at that time. There's a college you
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: can tell. He just sees it sideline to sideline. He
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: can make the reads and do things mentally that other
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: college kids can't do.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: I remember sitting in the ed Oisdron's office and they
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: were talking about the first meeting with Joe Burrow, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I said, well, I said, what was that?
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Like he said, he.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Said, within five minutes, we knew that he was the
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: smartest guy in the round.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: That's great, Oh, Tony, it's always a pleasure. You've seen
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: so much over the years, and I cannot wait for
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the book. And because it's going to be fifty years
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of SEC football history, so many coaches, so many players,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: so many incredible institutions, fan bases, all these different things,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: And so I cannot wait to dive into it because
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: there ain't many people that had, you know, the look
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: into the SEC like you had, and you, you know,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you always put it so well and so many great stories.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And I love how it's not just stories like you said,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of the biggest names, the biggest this, that, and the other.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: It's like personal stories that nobody else can share. And
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: so I cannot wait. Do we do we have a
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: like a timeline, I know, like end of end of July.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: We're talking to the folks right now about this and
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: that we're looking at We're looking at spring summer of
• 26:23

• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I was hoping you notice we both got
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: poncho is not that big of a deal. You went
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: more like the kind of Western style today. I went
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: more Florida style.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah you did. Yeah, a couple.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Did you bring this?
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: I did not have this one?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I do certainly, God, I would have loved for us
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: to showing up in the same shirt.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Organically. I've been so sick, I've been very us. I
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: do have two l s U shirts, so I will
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: be interviewing other players from other teams this week in
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: an LSU shirt.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: That's see, that's okay, and we're by like the LSU banner.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Don't know if that was on purpose, but we're here.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I checked that this morning. I saw yesterday and there's
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: no way you're early enough to do that. But but
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: that's okay because like we're an LSU show, so you
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: can do that now. See. I couldn't do that over
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: across in the serious XM room.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I wore a lavender poncho to Spring meetings last year
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: and Sark called me out on it, goes, nah, not
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: very neutral today, are dude? It's a lavender Sork No,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: not neutral?
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Sorry? I mean you know that. Yeah, it's like you know,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: but you don't really I mean kind of a big
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: time NFL gut now you don't really work for them,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: so you can do it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: That's also fair. That's also fair, Uh, Sark, I don't
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: do college except this week, so.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Except this week, so l she's gonna beat your face
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: in what if I.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Did show up to Texas day, full decked out LSU.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: That'd be great.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I think, do you think I can get some here?
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: How can I borrow maybe one of your ponchos?
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I might have my poncho shirt on. If we
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: get the interview Sark, I.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Know you will see it, but but here at this table,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: it'd be okay, okay, because we're by the LSU. Call
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: him exactly. I want you to interview Arc.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Is it comen?
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: He's yeah, he's gonna be here.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Not there, M.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Blame pretty pretty popular player. I mean, he's no Rocky Beers.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: The's no Rocky Beers. I think we all know that.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: We can all agree that Ark Manning is not Rocky Bears. Yep,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: we've said it.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Tennessee is going to be here today. They're already here.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Uh no quarterbacks for Tennessee. They went running back and
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: then two linebackers. A little bit a little bit different. Uh,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Tennessee's you know, Josh Heipeltz, it's been you know a
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks in his time there that have been
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: in media days. You had a former quarter Joey Aguar,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: played really really well last year for them coming over.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: It was a straight up trade with nico I Maliava. Right,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: It's like literally like it felt like a trade, Like
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: they got UCLA's quarterback and you sent them yours and
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: it worked out for Joey Aguilar. Nobody really knows what
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: it's going to look like at Tennessee this year at quarterback.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: But and I'll throw this one to you. You you
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: would know this answer way better than I. It feels
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: like a system that is going to be quarterback friendly
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: regardless of who it is. So not to say that
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: they're going to get exceptional quarterback play, but I don't
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: ever think it's going to fall off a cliff because
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Josh Hipel's offense typically no matter who's behind center, has
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: a really good season and they're not like pro guys, right,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Like even Hendon Hooker, he made him look incredible. You know,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I like Hendon Hooker a lot. He was a third
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: round pick, but Hendon's never taken a snap.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's kind of how Josh Hipel played. Huh.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I mean I remember seeing Josh Hipel play at Oklahoma
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: back in the day, and my god, he was. It
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: was the most impressive thing. Now watching him throw. He
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: would throw a you know, seventeen yard dig route and
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: it'd go about twenty seventeen yards in the air because
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: they had a lot like he had to throw it
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: with a big old arc to get it there. He
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: was not that gifted of a guy armstrength wise. But
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: my guid are what they did. I wouldn't watch them
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: play in person at Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco, Texas
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: playing Baylor and destroyed them.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, I watched him play Texas Tech. So Texas Tech
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: hosted the Longhorns the week before. It's like Chris Simms
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: and that whole crew of Texas Longhorns, Like I think
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Roy Williams was like a receiver and Texas Tech took
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: him down like Wes Welker Kingsbury like that whole probably
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: that whole crew, Yeah, probably not at all. Wes Welker
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: definitely didn't go off. No, And so it hyped up
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: this Oklahoma Texas Tech game for the next week in Norman.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: So we went like because I had some buddies from
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: my high school that were playing for Texas Tech. It
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: was kind of like a feeder there for a while.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: From evangel of Texas Tech. I went on a visit
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: to Texas Tech. Then I went on to visit to Oklahoma,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: so I get free tickets and we got to the game. Dude,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: it was one of those days where Oklahoma's offense, to
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: your point, was such a machine and he was such
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: a I don't think a ball hit the ground for them. Yeah,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: they won like forty five to nothing.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Like what they were doing like at the time, with
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: like switch routes, option routes, wheel routes, like just taking
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: advantage of really basic college defenses. Well it's at the time,
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: I had no clue what happened. I just thought they
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: were the greatest athletes to ever walk the planet Earth.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Because he would get back to a dropback, he'd get
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: back on like a three five step timing rout They
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: did a lot of shotgun back then, which was, you
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: know a little bit different at the time. Five step timing,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: three steps out, he hit his back foot and throw
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: it and everybody was open. And even if they weren't open,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: he was putting in all these type plays. So, like
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: you can only imagine how his past influences his play
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: calling today. Now everything evolves, so it's way different. You're
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: playing facing way different different types of defenses, way smarter
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: defensive schemes and coaching, so it's not quite as easy
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: as it used to be. But like, yeah, you're not
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: always going to have like the like the typical first
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: round quarterback around.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he would love that. I'm sure he would
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: definitely take that. But you know it's like it's Tennessee,
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: like they're it's a good name. I wonder why they're
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: not getting those dudes there.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I mean ali Ava was like on paper, remember, I
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: mean he's a guy that wore pajama pants like every
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: camp or whatever, and like he had this huge, huge following.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: He was a big recruit, but he hasn't really been
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: there and got UCLA either, Like to your point, like
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you know, a top five quarterback that goes out there
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: and thrives, Like there's quarterbacks that we could talk about
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: in even in an arch Manning, right, I mean obviously
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: arch Manning they got they got some ties to Tennessee
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: with Peyton and Suckers. You know, you're waiting for him
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: to get somebody like that. I think, Yeah, I.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Wonder where he went at that level. I wonder what
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: the separation is there all why?
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: But you know, you know how you know and you
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: know this to be true. There might be some that
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: are like, hey, the system's great. You can be a
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Tennessee legend and throw for a lot of yards. But
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: maybe it's just not pro friendly because those guys.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Do that about most offenses in college football. It's not pro.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like Hypel's doing anything that's that
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: much different. Now I haven't broken down a ton of film,
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: but I'm.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Just saying, like, I guess for like the pro success, Yeah,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: you know, like even if it's like not a scheme
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: that translates to the.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Pros, Yeah, you're right, didn't have like the notches and
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: the bell from that standpoint of like having those typical
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: pro guys and somebody, so you know, and that is
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: one thing that you do recruit on. It's like, you know,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: it's like Sabing walking in and throwing like putting his
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: hands on the table and all those rings. Right, I mean,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: it's an easy thing if you're Josh Hypel and you
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: sometimes you just need that one.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: You really do. Okay, think about think about a little
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: bit of the desert, right, l she was a quarterback
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: after you, and then Mett was sprinkled in there. Obviously,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I want to give him his credit. But then you
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: get back to a little bit of a desert time yep,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: for sure, And well then what happens. Joe Burrow comes
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: and then he does what he does, and then all
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, like the quarterback play, the quarterbacks that
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: you can get at least changes a little bit because
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: they're like, Okay, it's not going to be power in
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: three yards and a cloud of dust anymore. Like going,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: They're going to open it up. And so you start
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: getting quarterbacks that you hadn't got. So to your point,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: it really does only take one. You get one of
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: those guys and then everybody can see what it looks
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: like and see like what you can be in that uniform.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Tennessee goes into twenty twenty six it a
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: little bit of quarterback competition on their hands, which is
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: kind of what we talked about with LSU. You know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: my my prediction on if we had to leave one
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: guy back at home at LSU of the you know,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: four or five guys we're talking about potentials, it would
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: be Sam Webt, just because of you at least you
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: want to create this illusion of competition. He hasn't practiced yet, right,
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: So I would understand if they didn't take him now.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: I would love to see him here. Yeah, I wish
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: he was here. I wish he was coming. But these
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: schools are if there's a quarterback competition, you certainly like basically,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: if you take somebody here, you're anointing them, right, you
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: are basically give him the keys to the car. You're
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: not going to take something like today. I mean, you
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: got Austin Simmons from Missouri. He's not here now. Maybe
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: it's because he was here last year for Miss here
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: last year for Old miss but he's not here this year.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: And you know what, for whatever reason, whatever the reason
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: the coaches have, I believe if you have a starting
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: if you've named a starting quarterback, you need to be here.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: He needs to be here. Yeah, just it's the nature
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: of the beast with that position. It's not just because
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: I'm a quarterback. But that's just that's if you want
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: people to stay here, put a quarterback in the microphone, right,
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: that's what you want to do. Now, I understand the
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: competition standpoint. A coach certainly shouldn't bring somebody here. Well,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: this is going to bring two of them, so it's uh.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Didn't coach Prime bring two Big twelve last year.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I'll see you.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Well, I think Big twelve brought like six players from
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: like every school they really think so, I think so.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: But to your point, that's too much. No, you're right.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: I mean it is something that like definitely signifies, hey,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: this is our guy and Sam Levit is going to
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: be the guy for LSU.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: But to your point, technically been like I mean, not
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: that it means anything. Technically been named the start.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Nobody hasn't practiced yet. So to your point, like they
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: want to probably like they want to create a fire
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: for him as well, to let him know, like hey, Bud,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: like you're our guy, right, number one portal player out there,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: but we'd like to see on the practice field. That'd
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: be nice. And so, like you know, with his foot injury,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: he'll be out there during fall I mean he's already
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: out there, but he'll be out there during fall camp
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: just duncan dunking on gold posts. I know, when y'all
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: first said that that first day in the studio, I'm like,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: why is he at the basketball court?
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Why? So what happened that year at Arizona State? You
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: got Sam Levitt coming off foot injury, Duncan and you
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: got your guy Camp'scataby doing backflip.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Set fanatics fest. But he didn't stick it. He did
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: stick it, I mean he he overrotated. If he I mean,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: it would have been real sweet if he's stuck it.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. But he fell and he kind of
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: came up. It looked a little awkward landing coming off
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: an injury. Hey, Cam, you didn't like sprain an ankle?
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Your leg exploded during a national football game, like I literally.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Really did exploded. Yeah, so we were wondering if it
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: was going to happen this year.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: It wasn't just a high ankle spray. But not true.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: It's very true. He's not. He's he knows one as
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: we all know. All right, we are going to take

  Speaker 1: percent off there, and even sometimes when somebody has a
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: twenty percent off deal.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Yep and give you the wrong date.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: It gives you the wrong dates.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: That's on me.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Rous's will make it right. Go to Rous's dot com today.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Of the head coaches that are here today, obviously, you
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: know you've got some different personalities. You're going to have
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Eli Drinkwit, who's one of my favorites. He's going to
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: give you something every single time. You've got Josh Heipel,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: who's going to be a little bit more reserved. He's
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: not gonna, you know, give you too much. And he's
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: he's an ext's nosed guy, kind of keeps to himself
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Brent Vinnables is going to be the
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: guy that makes you want to run through a brick wall.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: He's just that kind of guy, like coach, can I
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: go pull my hamstring running down on kickoff for you?
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: He's old school. That's him. Will Stein at Kentucky. I've
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: had a chance to interview him twice. Maybe good personality,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: younger guy, but I don't think you know a lot
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: of people here are going to know anything about will Stein.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: So he's probably going to be a guy that introduces
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: himself to everybody, and we're gonna get a chance you
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: kind of see what his personality is. He goes to
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: a pretty good landing spot in Kentucky, Lexington, incredible city there.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: So a great first head coaching job out of the
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: gates for Will. But I think a lot of people
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: can learn exactly like who he is because not a
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: lot of people know anything about him.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got I gotta probably think that. You know,
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: if you're an old salty vet coach that's been in
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: here a while a sec me todays you're coming and
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: seeing a bunch of you know, guys you've known for
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: a long time, you've done it, but as a first
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: year head coach ever done it? Been an offensive coordator
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: for a long time, and you come to this big
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: event where you have to take the podium and there
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: what second today? So second all week? That doesn't be
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: the thing that they look forward to the least when
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: they sign up to be a head coach is to
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: have to come and drive an interviews like because especially
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: you come from a play calling background. Yeah well six
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: months ago, seven months ago, you were calling plays and
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: doing it very well. Yeah, at a very big college,
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: and now you have to go to be in the
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: face of a program. Now you have to go to
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: being a CEO. Of course you are going to be
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: involved as much as you can with the x's and
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: o's and the play calling. But every head coach that
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: comes from the coordinator recision has to kind of figure
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: out that balance. So it can't he do it. But
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: this right here, at this setting, I can promise you,
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: is not what he wants to do. So we'll see
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: how he We'll see how he does. Some guys are
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: just built for this. They have that, they have that
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: personality that does really well. And you've seen like you've
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: got a lot of big personalities here in the SEC.

• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Kentucky is in Lexington. They are the second school in Kentucky.
• 46:53
