Speaker 2: got an ice cold budwise er, I mean ice cold

1:01
Speaker 2: hot plate of nachos hit the table from your local

2:25
Speaker 2: He's on his way to Auburn, Alabama as Old Miss
2:28
Speaker 2: will play Auburn Mike bi Anko against Butch Thompson. Holie,
2:32
Speaker 2: Mary olzab here we go, Hunter Elliott, how many postseason
2:37
Speaker 2: games has he been in? Good Grief Hooks was unbelievable
2:41
Speaker 2: on Friday night, as was Calhoun robertson Ole Miss on
2:45
Speaker 2: the backside, the bullpen looks.
2:47
Speaker 1: Really, really good.
2:48
Speaker 2: They need to get another bat heated up. So we'll
2:51
Speaker 2: see what plays out this weekend. But we welcome in
2:53
Speaker 2: Jake Thompson on the Farm Bureau Insurance guest line.
2:56
Speaker 1: Jake, are you in Alabama or Misissippi?
3:00
Speaker 3: I am currently still between Oxford and Tuplo. My internal
3:04
Speaker 3: clock slipt in a little bit, so I got a
3:07
Speaker 3: little later start than I thought. But I am in
3:09
Speaker 3: the car ahead in the east right now.
3:11
Speaker 1: Oh, you pulled to Jackson Meadows. Okay, cool, all right,
3:15
Speaker 1: so you're on the way.
3:18
Speaker 2: I assume because you've been in this business for a
3:20
Speaker 2: while and you're from this area and you went to
3:22
Speaker 2: Old Miss, I assume you've been to Auburn before.
3:27
Speaker 3: I have. I've been to many a football game, but
3:30
Speaker 3: I am not. And I walked by playing from park
3:32
Speaker 3: Head back to where they have US Media Park after
3:35
Speaker 3: a Fulburn football game. But I've had not been incited,
3:39
Speaker 3: So I am excited to see the inside of it
3:41
Speaker 3: this afternoon once I get there for their practice and whatnot.
3:45
Speaker 2: Well, it was a hell of a weekend for Old Miss.
3:47
Speaker 2: They won two extra inning games. Bullpen, you know, seventeen innings,
3:53
Speaker 2: only gave up four runs. I'd give that an a,
3:55
Speaker 2: wouldn't you.
3:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, the you know, their bullpen has been the
4:00
Speaker 3: backbone of the team's success all season. It's what's kept
4:04
Speaker 3: them in games to hopefully get this offense that it
4:08
Speaker 3: feels like you're watching in nineteen eighties bash Bro type
4:11
Speaker 3: offense where it's either you know, clamoring home runs back
4:15
Speaker 3: to back or putting up a run in the first
4:17
Speaker 3: and then a lot of zeros after, you know, feast
4:19
Speaker 3: or famine. But this bullpen, coming off the backs, you know,
4:23
Speaker 3: coming out after Hunter Taylor Rave and Kate Townsend, has
4:26
Speaker 3: been dominant. And I don't know if they were more
4:28
Speaker 3: dominant anywhere else this season. They were up in Linken
4:31
Speaker 3: watching him against what I think is probably the best
4:33
Speaker 3: offense they'll face this season or postseason. I'm sorry, unless
4:37
Speaker 3: they somehow match up for Georgia in the you know,
4:39
Speaker 3: in the finals up in Omaha. But I know, stifling
4:42
Speaker 3: an ASU offense I think held them to ten runs
4:45
Speaker 3: in two games or twenty four innings. Really, when I
4:47
Speaker 3: think Asu lit up South Dakota State and Nebraska for
4:50
Speaker 3: twenty eight total runs, I mean that speaks to hisself
4:53
Speaker 3: to what they were able to do. And yeah, yeah,
4:56
Speaker 3: like your lead in said that, that's got to continue.
4:58
Speaker 3: But they've got to have hopefully packed another hot bat
5:00
Speaker 3: or two in the bus yesterday, because that the offense
5:03
Speaker 3: is what's the most concerning about this.
5:05
Speaker 2: I think if you had to pick a guy who
5:08
Speaker 2: needs to get high or warm, just you know, get
5:11
Speaker 2: going at the plate, who's the first guy that comes
5:14
Speaker 2: to your mind, Jake.
5:17
Speaker 3: I think if Bassetta can find something off that home
5:20
Speaker 3: run to dead center he got in I guess game
5:22
Speaker 3: three or Sunday night, and just carry it over. He
5:25
Speaker 3: had a really hot April and then after he left
5:28
Speaker 3: dnes See he just fell apart or fell apart at
5:31
Speaker 3: the plate. He's been good defensively in the outfield, but
5:34
Speaker 3: you know that, I think they need him to heat
5:36
Speaker 3: up to pair with Judd, who you would like to
5:39
Speaker 3: see be back to form to the guy that got
5:42
Speaker 3: to fifty home runs forty nine home runs and then
5:45
Speaker 3: down the line, I'd like to see if Folly get more,
5:48
Speaker 3: you know, not just home run guy, but kind of
5:50
Speaker 3: like that double that he almost hit out Sunday night.
5:53
Speaker 3: You know, there are spots all up and down the lineup,
5:55
Speaker 3: I think, and whoever they put in the left field
5:57
Speaker 3: which has just been at the plate, a black hole,
6:00
Speaker 3: evolving door of pick a player out of three guys.
6:02
Speaker 3: Whoever they put in there is at that bottom of
6:05
Speaker 3: the lineup. They need a bat to get hot in
6:06
Speaker 3: eight or nine spots to flip the order with somebody
6:09
Speaker 3: on base once you get back to Tom Decker and
6:11
Speaker 3: you know Mark in Furnace. That's kind of the key
6:13
Speaker 3: I think against this Auburn team.
6:15
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so Auburn played.
6:18
Speaker 2: Look at sometimes I think we overthink this as you know, Jake,
6:22
Speaker 2: you're you're in this business. So we're dealing with a
6:26
Speaker 2: bunch of nineteen and twenty one, twenty two year olds.
6:29
Speaker 2: They're all in incredible shape. You know, Auburn had to
6:33
Speaker 2: play late into the evening Monday. The flip side is
6:38
Speaker 2: they get Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and all of Friday to
6:43
Speaker 2: rest and play Friday night. You know, yeah, they played
6:46
Speaker 2: another game, but you know how much will that really
6:49
Speaker 2: impact them? What do you maybe on the mound, the
6:53
Speaker 2: guys in the field will be maybe arms, but the
6:55
Speaker 2: guys on the field.
6:58
Speaker 1: Will be just fine. Do you see it, Jake?
7:01
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the biggest thing is how it affects
7:04
Speaker 3: Auburn's rotation, because I don't think their Friday guy will
7:07
Speaker 3: be pitching Tomorrow night, because I think they I wasn't
7:10
Speaker 3: able to watch the game Monday where I stayed on
7:13
Speaker 3: the way back from Lincoln. They I did not have
7:15
Speaker 3: the espn U, so I was clutching the A and
7:17
Speaker 3: M game instead. But I believe the for Auburn had
7:20
Speaker 3: to bring out there Friday night guy again just to
7:22
Speaker 3: kind of seal the deal there until they blew the
7:24
Speaker 3: blue the game open, So he was used twice, and
7:27
Speaker 3: I don't know if I don't know if they'd run
7:29
Speaker 3: him out there tomorrow night. You know, Busch Thompson's a
7:31
Speaker 3: smart guy and I'm sure he knows he could say,
7:33
Speaker 3: let let his ace get another day's rest. Hopefully you
7:36
Speaker 3: pocket a one to know start and use him Saturday
7:38
Speaker 3: or something like that. So I think that's the biggest thing,
7:41
Speaker 3: is what what rotation wal and misfaced. Obviously it's the
7:44
Speaker 3: first time they faced them. So it's not like they
7:45
Speaker 3: know what the rest of this staff has besides maybe
7:49
Speaker 3: watching some clips on tape this weekend, you know, in practice.
7:52
Speaker 3: But uh, I think, yeah, you know, the rest of
7:54
Speaker 3: these kids or kids were we were that age, and
7:57
Speaker 3: we knew the rest in recovery comes a little faster
8:00
Speaker 3: when you're that age, and so yeah, I think guys
8:02
Speaker 3: who are just standing in the field, you know, not
8:04
Speaker 3: really exerting themselves every inning, or we'll be fine. But
8:06
Speaker 3: it Yeah, it comes down to his old missus pitching
8:09
Speaker 3: staff go and to be more arrested than Auburn's because
8:11
Speaker 3: on paper it should be, because they played three games
8:13
Speaker 3: and then they were home Monday night propping their feet
8:15
Speaker 3: up while Auburn was having to you know, got one
8:17
Speaker 3: out so to speak, until he blew it open, laid
8:19
Speaker 3: until the night Monday.
8:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, impressive, Auburn won four in a row. Impressed with
8:24
Speaker 2: the old miss winning two extra ending games.
8:26
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Jake, Well, yeah, that was the thing was
8:30
Speaker 3: I thought maybe Central Florida would trip them up if
8:33
Speaker 3: when they got back to Central Florida in that loser's
8:35
Speaker 3: you know kind of stretch. But I you know, looking
8:38
Speaker 3: at the brackets I thought a Ucla should have had
8:41
Speaker 3: the easiest path back, you know to a four and oh,
8:44
Speaker 3: you know, with the teams in their regional proved me wrong.
8:46
Speaker 3: But I thought maybe Auburn was the second best of
8:49
Speaker 3: a team that needed to go four straight with the
8:50
Speaker 3: teams they had in their in their regional, and and
8:53
Speaker 3: the Tigers proved me correct. So I was not totally shocked,
8:55
Speaker 3: but I know everybody was kind of hoping and praying
8:58
Speaker 3: that there'd be a postseason baseball on Oxford tomorrow night.
9:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. What What was Lincoln like?
9:05
Speaker 3: Uh? For me, that was my first time. I've been
9:07
Speaker 3: to Omaha obviously, but I've not ever been to Lincoln.
9:10
Speaker 3: But at the downtown, it was fantastic. I liked, I
9:12
Speaker 3: guess to call it the Haymarket district with all their
9:15
Speaker 3: restaurants and shops and stuff. And then there's like a
9:17
Speaker 3: pedestrian bridge or two that connects the ballpark to that area,
9:21
Speaker 3: so it's it's a really nice, really cool setup. I
9:24
Speaker 3: compared it to when I was up in Milwaukee for
9:26
Speaker 3: the basketball tournament, I guess last year, and it was
9:28
Speaker 3: a very walkable, very fun little downtown, not not like
9:32
Speaker 3: overbearing overpack with people. It was it was nice. I
9:35
Speaker 3: enjoyed my time there.
9:37
Speaker 2: Did you find a cool da bar, a good restaurant
9:42
Speaker 2: or grill to hit?
9:44
Speaker 3: We found a we found a couple of restaurants.
9:46
Speaker 1: Uh.
9:47
Speaker 3: They have a lot of uh, I guess you call
9:49
Speaker 3: the quote unquote breweries in that area. But we had
9:53
Speaker 3: at a place called Laslow's one night, a place called Leadbellies.
9:57
Speaker 3: At the Sunday, after having to go cover an inning
10:00
Speaker 3: for twenty minutes, I went and ate some watch at
10:03
Speaker 3: a place called Bruceti's, which is basically like it'd be
10:06
Speaker 3: like their local sports bar, beat ups type place. Yeah,
10:10
Speaker 3: a nice little place. It there's a lot of if
10:13
Speaker 3: you're a food guy, they had a lot of options,
10:14
Speaker 3: a lot of different john Rose of food all around
10:17
Speaker 3: in that little Haymarket area is.
10:19
Speaker 2: In a pretty big I mean, what is it, several
10:22
Speaker 2: hundred thousand people there roughly.
10:24
Speaker 1: Yeah.
10:24
Speaker 3: The Lincoln town itself feels like it has a big
10:27
Speaker 3: footprint just driving around, but the downtown area is a
10:30
Speaker 3: very kind of compact and small little space. And the
10:33
Speaker 3: cool thing I think is they've kept all their old
10:36
Speaker 3: buildings like all they don't they haven't torn down but
10:39
Speaker 3: maybe two or three that they just kind of had
10:40
Speaker 3: to and they revitalized and turned them into restaurants. I
10:44
Speaker 3: stayed in the Hampton in that was an old department
10:46
Speaker 3: store that it was an empty building for ten years
10:49
Speaker 3: and they just completely renovated it into a new hotel.
10:51
Speaker 3: So whatever Lincoln's leadership is doing that, they're doing it right.
10:55
Speaker 1: It was.
10:55
Speaker 3: I enjoyed it up there.
10:56
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
10:57
Speaker 2: Jake Thompson on three Sports joins us on the Bounds show,
11:00
Speaker 2: All Miss Insider.
11:01
Speaker 1: He's on his way to Auburn, another beautiful town.
11:04
Speaker 2: I mean the auburnople like area you could argue as
11:06
Speaker 2: booms more than anything in the SEC.
11:09
Speaker 1: And uh, they got it going on.
11:11
Speaker 2: Man, they got that kind of thirty eight development out
11:13
Speaker 2: there on whichever side that's on.
11:15
Speaker 1: And it's it's popping and hopping.
11:17
Speaker 2: The place is great. I was there last year. I
11:20
Speaker 2: need to get down there a little bit more. But uh,
11:22
Speaker 2: I'm not as mad at it as I was. This
11:25
Speaker 2: is ESPN one oh five nine The Zone. All right, Jake,
11:28
Speaker 2: let's switch gears to football. What the hell's going on?
11:30
Speaker 2: Everybody's kicking all Miss?
11:33
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it? Old Miss versus everybody is that
11:35
Speaker 1: the field in Oxford.
11:37
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the more people keep talking, the more
11:40
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna see that kind of mentality. As
11:42
Speaker 3: you know. It's just it's very strange and maybe not
11:45
Speaker 3: strange to those who always said it's you know, all
11:48
Speaker 3: miss upsets the apple cart, or when the Mississippi State
11:50
Speaker 3: team has a really really good season, it kind of upsets,
11:52
Speaker 3: you know, the apple cart because it's not your Alabama
11:55
Speaker 3: as your Georgia's or I guess now Texas is, and
11:58
Speaker 3: A and M's and Florida's. You're here, saw Whart said.
12:00
Speaker 3: As logos as they kind of is the phrase. Now
12:02
Speaker 3: everybody just goes off a logo. But what Ole miss
12:05
Speaker 3: was able to do, and I think with you know,
12:07
Speaker 3: in that run and basically being a catch away from
12:10
Speaker 3: playing Indiana for a national title, it ruffled some feathers.
12:14
Speaker 3: And I think it ruffled them more when Lane left
12:17
Speaker 3: and key people did not follow him as in players
12:20
Speaker 3: and didn't basically pillage the cupboard and take Golding. Plus
12:24
Speaker 3: all the offensive guys with him and Golden State kept
12:27
Speaker 3: the ship going and they recruited well, kept Trinidad, kept Lacy,
12:31
Speaker 3: kept some others, and did well in the transfer portal,
12:33
Speaker 3: and now they's still a favorite team to start the season.
12:37
Speaker 3: You know, obviously you got to play twelve games see
12:39
Speaker 3: what happens, but you would expect him to be in
12:41
Speaker 3: that top fifteen or so preseason rankings and got you know,
12:45
Speaker 3: a lot of buzz. I mean, you know, I think
12:47
Speaker 3: that's that's what's not people are liking, is that this
12:49
Speaker 3: transfer portal has created parody and in every sport. Look
12:53
Speaker 3: what we just watched in college baseball over the weekend.
12:55
Speaker 3: I think that's that's proof of it right there. And
12:58
Speaker 3: so when you tap period, the teams that have perennially
13:01
Speaker 3: kind of been the dogs kicked out of the way
13:03
Speaker 3: to get to your SEC title game or national championship
13:06
Speaker 3: run are now barking back and beating you and looking
13:10
Speaker 3: like you used to look. So I think it's a
13:12
Speaker 3: lot of sour grapes in my opinion, But they're going
13:14
Speaker 3: to say what they're going to say. I was shocked
13:16
Speaker 3: at really what Saving chose to use in his I
13:20
Speaker 3: guess testimony if that's what it was yesterday, and his
13:22
Speaker 3: example singling out on miss I was kind of taking
13:25
Speaker 3: it back by that. But yeah, no, I don't think
13:29
Speaker 3: he helped himself. When they get here, which I assume
13:31
Speaker 3: they'll be here September nineteenth. They hadn't announced it, but
13:33
Speaker 3: basically Pat McAfee said they'd come here for the ole
13:36
Speaker 3: Miss LSU game.
13:37
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, No, I think it's I think Ole Miss
13:41
Speaker 2: or LSU could lose and they're before that game and
13:45
Speaker 2: they're they're still going to be there.
13:48
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I mean you can't.
13:51
Speaker 2: You can't pass it up because anything that Lane says
13:54
Speaker 2: goes viral. And ten to fifteen seconds, we are the
13:58
Speaker 2: out of Bound Show. We're driven by your next g
14:00
Speaker 2: MC Sierra Truck, GMC Yukon Fowler Fowler, GMC Pearl Brandon.
14:05
Speaker 2: We're visiting with Jake Thompson, Ale Miss Insider. He's on
14:07
Speaker 2: the way to Auburn. We'll see what elltt Elliott and
14:10
Speaker 2: Townsend and Hooks can do this weekend.
14:14
Speaker 1: Uh.
14:14
Speaker 2: He mentioned Besetta getting you know, all eight. He doesn't
14:19
Speaker 2: even have to get April hot. He can just get
14:21
Speaker 2: like April warm, and that could that could be enough
14:26
Speaker 2: to get through the the super Regional. What uh, what's
14:33
Speaker 2: it like visiting with Pete Golding and the other football
14:37
Speaker 2: assistance with all the back and forth with with Lane
14:40
Speaker 2: at LSU.
14:42
Speaker 3: Jake, Oh, you know Pete. For us, it's a breath
14:46
Speaker 3: of fresh air in turns of talking to him. Now,
14:48
Speaker 3: he's got a little as a guy who's covered high
14:50
Speaker 3: school sports or a good chunk of his career, I
14:53
Speaker 3: can kind of reference this. He's got a little bit
14:55
Speaker 3: of a high school coaching him where he just kind
14:56
Speaker 3: of says what he says and kind of talks and
14:59
Speaker 3: maybe gets a little too x's and o's for for
15:01
Speaker 3: some people's liking in terms of trying to understand him.
15:03
Speaker 3: But he's just going to tell you what he feels.
15:05
Speaker 3: And you know, that's a breath of fresh air as
15:08
Speaker 3: opposed to the last six years where you could say
15:10
Speaker 3: you were trying to decipher you know, code or sy
15:13
Speaker 3: op from what ever. Lane Kiffin chose to answer your
15:16
Speaker 3: question with, even if it was nothing, he were close
15:18
Speaker 3: to what she asked. And so that's been a breath
15:20
Speaker 3: of fresh air. And John David Baker's with the one
15:25
Speaker 3: time we got to talk to him over the spring,
15:27
Speaker 3: he was great, fantastic and you know he's still doing
15:30
Speaker 3: the defense, so we really will just be talking to
15:32
Speaker 3: him a little bit of Brian Brown who will kind
15:34
Speaker 3: of be his lieutenant, so to speak, on defense while
15:36
Speaker 3: Pete oversees everything. But no, it's it's night and day.
15:40
Speaker 3: And you know, we asked a little bit about what
15:42
Speaker 3: Lane says. Of course, most of what the inflammatory stuff
15:45
Speaker 3: came after spring was done, so we really haven't gotten
15:48
Speaker 3: talked to Pete. If you know, if they would quit
15:50
Speaker 3: doing spring meetings and destin in the first week of regionals,
15:53
Speaker 3: I'd probably go down there, and because that's basically turned
15:56
Speaker 3: into a mini media days two months beforehand at this point,
16:00
Speaker 3: so you know, all the fun stuff was kind of
16:02
Speaker 3: said before and during down there and Pete what I
16:04
Speaker 3: saw Flipso if during his little scrumbs, I thought he
16:07
Speaker 3: answered and handled it, well, I mean he's taken. He's
16:09
Speaker 3: having to answer questions about that obviously, the Clemson stuff
16:13
Speaker 3: and then NCAA things, so you know, he's kind of
16:16
Speaker 3: had baptism by fire ever since November thirtieth, you know,
16:20
Speaker 3: having to also be a guy in front of the
16:21
Speaker 3: camera during the college ball playoff front. So he hadn't
16:23
Speaker 3: really had He didn't really have at down time of
16:26
Speaker 3: an off season where he could kind of go away
16:27
Speaker 3: and kind of I guess prep and get your answers ready.
16:30
Speaker 3: And I think he's handled it well, you know, taking
16:33
Speaker 3: live around so to speak.
16:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Jake Thompson on the Farm Bureau Insurance
16:37
Speaker 2: guest line, all miss versus everybody. I thought it was
16:41
Speaker 2: startble versus everybody. It just depends on the week and
16:45
Speaker 2: the month and what's going on. Can you imagine what
16:48
Speaker 2: Lane's gonna say sec media days in Tampa or what
16:51
Speaker 2: next interview he's gonna do. Right, he was with Big
16:54
Speaker 2: Cat the other day and the USA Today. Guy, Go ahead, Jake.
17:00
Speaker 3: I'm staying the whole week down there because I you know,
17:04
Speaker 3: weirdly a birthday president of mine was to take in
17:06
Speaker 3: the reck some preseason game which happened to be at
17:08
Speaker 3: Rama James that Saturday after media Day. So I'll be
17:12
Speaker 3: there for a whole week. And I guess now for
17:13
Speaker 3: sure have to sit there on Thursday when when Lane
17:15
Speaker 3: Kiffin takes the podium. I was kind of hoping I
17:17
Speaker 3: wouldn't have to really care what he has to say,
17:19
Speaker 3: But I guess that was a fool's mistake on my part.
17:23
Speaker 1: I love it all right, So what are you doing
17:25
Speaker 1: down there again?
17:26
Speaker 3: They Wrexham, that soccer team that's blown up over here,
17:30
Speaker 3: that Ryan Reynolds and then another guy owned. Yeah, they
17:33
Speaker 3: always do. They do a US preseason tour, so to speak,
17:37
Speaker 3: like all the big English clubs do. And they just
17:40
Speaker 3: happened to announce Tampa and it was the same week
17:42
Speaker 3: as media Day, so I twisted some arms and got
17:45
Speaker 3: a couple of tickets.
17:46
Speaker 1: Nice man, that's cool, all right.
17:50
Speaker 3: So now I'll be down there for the whole circus
17:53
Speaker 3: that week.
17:54
Speaker 1: Okay, you're a traveling man, are you? Single?
17:57
Speaker 3: I am?
17:58
Speaker 1: Ah?
18:00
Speaker 2: All right, So if anybody's streaming the show from Auburn, Alabama,
18:04
Speaker 2: we've got Jake Thompson on this Insider and single man
18:08
Speaker 2: heading to Auburn Opalaika area for three days, maybe even
18:13
Speaker 2: into Sunday. And so look out for this man at
18:18
Speaker 2: the local dive bars and bars and grills, right Jake.
18:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you'll you'll definitely watch out for this lady
18:25
Speaker 3: chiller that's coming.
18:28
Speaker 1: I love it, all right.
18:30
Speaker 2: Well, hey man, golly, you were in Lincoln last weekend
18:34
Speaker 2: and you had a great time and evidently had some
18:36
Speaker 2: really good food, and you watch your team win and
18:38
Speaker 2: you had two epic, I mean, phenomenal games, and now
18:44
Speaker 2: you're going down to in an sec sec for both
18:49
Speaker 2: of our teams, which I think is ridiculous, but we're
18:52
Speaker 2: both in and we're fired up, so it is what
18:55
Speaker 2: it is. And you're going down for a big weekend
18:58
Speaker 2: and they get into it down there, especially at this
19:01
Speaker 2: point as far as Auburn fans, so I expect a
19:05
Speaker 2: packed park and a and a loud park, don't you, Jake, Yeah.
19:11
Speaker 3: No, you know Lincoln's if they share a field with
19:14
Speaker 3: an independent team kind of like what the mud Monsters
19:17
Speaker 3: are now, and in their park kind of looked like
19:20
Speaker 3: a smaller version of trust Mark. It was almost laid
19:23
Speaker 3: out exactly the same. But when Nebraska and all misplayed,
19:27
Speaker 3: they filled that thing up. I think seventy seven seventy
19:30
Speaker 3: eight hundred was what they were hoping banking for. And
19:33
Speaker 3: it was loud in that sixth any when Ray couldn't
19:35
Speaker 3: really get his pitchcoms to work every time they tried
19:38
Speaker 3: to new one, and they thought they were stalling, you know,
19:41
Speaker 3: the crowd got little morality and ruckus and loud and
19:44
Speaker 3: and and rave and almost got out of that ending uskate.
19:46
Speaker 3: I think that was a big moment for them. But
19:48
Speaker 3: and to all miss and to Mississippi State's credit and
19:52
Speaker 3: kind of something they can lean on. Playing ten weeks
19:54
Speaker 3: in the SEC, you're you're prepared for these kind of
19:56
Speaker 3: crowds that both of them are going to face. I
19:59
Speaker 3: mean in Georgia or Georgia and State have played already
20:01
Speaker 3: and start well. So I think that that helps negate
20:05
Speaker 3: it a little bit. Because these kids both Auburn will
20:07
Speaker 3: miss Georgia State, They're used to this for thirty games
20:09
Speaker 3: out of the season, so I think it's gonna make
20:12
Speaker 3: it fun. But I think you can, hopefully for all
20:14
Speaker 3: those teams take that out as a something that might
20:16
Speaker 3: rattle him being you know what these kind of crowds
20:18
Speaker 3: are going to be in front of.
20:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not happy that George is good in baseball.
20:22
Speaker 2: They've been good enough in football. They don't deserve to
20:24
Speaker 2: win in anything else. It's kind of like Alabama in baseball.
20:28
Speaker 3: Daniel Jackson kids a real deal though.
20:30
Speaker 1: He's very good, oh, no question.
20:32
Speaker 2: Trey Phelps, who's suspended for Game one but an absolute
20:36
Speaker 2: monster both in the field and at the plate. Looks
20:40
Speaker 2: like he could start in the SEC at free safety
20:43
Speaker 2: or slot receiver.
20:44
Speaker 1: That guy's yeah.
20:46
Speaker 2: Wes Johnson and Will Cogan and look butch as a
20:49
Speaker 2: butcher has some guys who look like strong safeties or
20:52
Speaker 2: damn near damn near outside linebackers edge rushers on that
20:57
Speaker 2: in that line up. Good grief, all right, dude, Well,
21:02
Speaker 2: I hope you get a cold beer tonight when you
21:04
Speaker 2: get there and get settled and have a great trip.
21:08
Speaker 1: We'll we'll talk soon. Oxford versus everybody.
21:12
