Questionable in Baton Rouge: Can the Bulldogs Beat LSU? · Johnny's World

0:23
SPEAKER_00: All right, welcome back to a brand new episode of the Johnny's World Podcast.
0:27
SPEAKER_00: It's Johnny here with my co-host BW, and we are off by week getting ready to get back uh uh with the toe meeting leather and and pig skin throwing around the yard again.
0:38
SPEAKER_00: Uh hopefully during this bye week, some injuries have been healed up and players are ready to go.
0:43
SPEAKER_00: We're heading down to Baton Rouge on Saturday morning for a kickoff against the Lane Train and the mighty LSU fighting tigers.
0:51
SPEAKER_00: So what's up, BW?
0:54
SPEAKER_01: Man, not a whole lot.
0:56
SPEAKER_01: Enjoyed the off week.
0:57
SPEAKER_01: Uh, it was some still some good games on.
0:59
SPEAKER_01: That LSU uh Georgia game lived, or not LSU, the Alabama Georgia game lived up to the hype.
1:05
SPEAKER_01: That was a good game.
1:06
SPEAKER_01: Um, it's nice to be able to watch football and not be stressed about your own team, but also it's a lot more exciting when your team's playing too.
1:13
SPEAKER_01: So I'm looking forward to this week.
1:14
SPEAKER_00: Yes, indeed.
1:15
SPEAKER_00: You're right, man.
1:16
SPEAKER_00: That game was uh some interesting games.
1:18
SPEAKER_00: Uh Texas and OU, man.
1:21
SPEAKER_00: And you know, I thought everybody thought Texas was gonna roll on.
1:23
SPEAKER_00: And just proven he's just a regular average quarterback with an elite name.
1:28
SPEAKER_00: If he didn't have the name Manning attached to him, he would be just a regular dude.
1:33
SPEAKER_00: So uh he obviously uh he'll probably be back another year, but he just uh he's just not not not as good as the experts think, but that was surprising.
1:42
SPEAKER_00: And then uh and then LSU in Kentucky, Lane just cannot be Kentucky.
1:47
SPEAKER_00: It's his nemesis, I guess, man.
1:49
SPEAKER_00: He was out, you know, in Lexington doing hot yoga with a bunch of girls that morning, and then loses again.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: So I don't know, man.
1:57
SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's the hot yoga just getting in his head or something, but he can't beat the Wildcats, and that was crazy watching that happen and how they went for two.
2:06
SPEAKER_00: And they I love that coach at Kentucky, man.
2:08
SPEAKER_00: He's a he's an up-and-coming coach, really good.
2:10
SPEAKER_00: Well sign.
2:11
SPEAKER_00: I mean, what are the odds that just say screw it and go for it, man?
2:15
SPEAKER_00: And and they did it and drops it in, they rushed the field, and everybody's flipping off lanes, pretty funny.
2:21
SPEAKER_00: But uh, yeah, they get to get the get the big time win against LSH.
2:25
SPEAKER_00: Um, and then Georgia Bama, that was the big game with two heavyweights.
2:29
SPEAKER_00: And uh, you know, much as I despise Alabama through the years of losing to them and always getting the calls, uh, they always get all the calls.
2:39
SPEAKER_00: It was kind of funny to see them get screwed by the refs and everyone, all the Bama fans are saying, oh, if it wasn't for the refs, we would have won.
2:46
SPEAKER_00: But yet Georgia was playing like their their depth is ridiculous at Georgia.
2:50
SPEAKER_00: They're playing their like second, third, fourth run stream running backs and run-ins.
2:54
SPEAKER_00: But I mean, Georgia's the real deal.
2:56
SPEAKER_00: I think they're really, really good.
2:57
SPEAKER_00: They have a chance to win it all.
2:59
SPEAKER_00: But that was uh obviously a passive affairs call they got away with.
3:02
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I don't think at the end, I don't think it would have mattered.
3:05
SPEAKER_00: I think I think Georgia is the better team and they're the better team won.
3:08
SPEAKER_00: But it was uh it was an interesting day.
3:10
SPEAKER_00: Like you said, it was good to watch college football and not be stressed about Mississippi State.
3:14
SPEAKER_00: And all we hear about now is Morio's injury and all that sort of stuff.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: Uh everywhere you hear, so we really won't know.
3:21
SPEAKER_00: Uh I guess the availability report comes out tonight, but he'll probably just it won't say anything different.
3:26
SPEAKER_00: We won't know until 11 a.m.
3:28
SPEAKER_00: Saturday morning, probably.
3:29
SPEAKER_00: Who takes the field?
3:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're right about that.
3:31
SPEAKER_01: We talked about trying to push this podcast back to record until after we got that report, but I couldn't do it anyway.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: And I was I was just thinking, you know, the same thing.
3:40
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna say questionable.
3:41
SPEAKER_01: Hopefully it says questionable.
3:42
SPEAKER_01: Hopefully it doesn't say out, but uh I have a feeling it says questionable, and and that that's still 50-50.
3:49
SPEAKER_01: And I think it means he he plays, he goes, he may not be 100%.
3:53
SPEAKER_01: I don't really know.
3:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's I'm I'm kind of torn by this, PW, because like obviously I want him to play, he's a difference maker, and we'll we'll we have a great chance of him winning it, but also you gotta look at it like if he if he plays and he's not 100%, is he risking hurting his toe even more?
4:10
SPEAKER_00: Right, and then we're gonna be out for the rest of the season, then we're really screwed.
4:14
SPEAKER_00: So, I mean, this game is obviously, you know, looking at it from the beginning of the season, I said it was gonna be a loss, but then I didn't realize how good Camario was gonna be.
4:24
SPEAKER_00: And and LSU is definitely beatable with Levitt and everything.
4:28
SPEAKER_00: And the morning game, and I mean, if Camario is playing at full strength, I think Mississippi State wins the game.
4:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
4:34
SPEAKER_00: Now, even at Camario, of course, for more even with a injury, I don't think he can.
4:39
SPEAKER_00: We saw what he did with Bama and he wasn't he wasn't 100%.
4:42
SPEAKER_00: I just I just don't think he can do it, even if he's on the field and not 100%.
4:48
SPEAKER_00: And I don't know about Fluff.
4:49
SPEAKER_00: I I think I'm I'm scared, man.
4:51
SPEAKER_00: I know everybody's laughing about about Billy Billy Puckett with number 15, being Billy Prescott coming down there and and and beating LSU like the last time we had a number 15.
5:01
SPEAKER_00: But I mean the guy's a walk-on from Jackson Prepp, getting thrown into the fire, poor guy.
5:05
SPEAKER_00: Uh, I just don't see that happening.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: You know, I see it being a massacre if he if he ends up playing.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: And it's uh unfortunate.
5:12
SPEAKER_00: We talked about that last time, BW.
5:13
SPEAKER_00: This doesn't always, it seems like it always happens, injury bucks, Mississippi State, when we're doing so good.
5:18
SPEAKER_00: You don't ever see this happen with Alabama, other other players, other teams, but for some reason we're we're getting snaked by injuries and stuff.
5:26
SPEAKER_00: And you know, we got these two other quarterbacks that transferred in, AJ Swann and and Rashada.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: So this guy, Billy Puckett, beat the these other two scholarship guys out.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: He's a transfer.
5:40
SPEAKER_00: So that must really mean.
5:42
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what that means, but maybe he's the next Trinidad.
5:45
SPEAKER_00: Could he be the next Trinidad?
5:46
SPEAKER_00: That's why I was going there.
5:47
SPEAKER_00: Like, I mean, did did Levy miss on these two other quarterbacks?
5:52
SPEAKER_00: I I mean, uh walk on, I mean, props to him, man.
5:55
SPEAKER_00: He he he worked and and and earned the second second string job, but still it's kind of kind of odd that he beat out these two guys that transferred in.
6:05
SPEAKER_00: But uh I don't know, man.
6:07
SPEAKER_00: It's it's it's it'll be interesting to see what happens.
6:09
SPEAKER_01: Speaking of that, kind of interesting thing.
6:11
SPEAKER_01: So I went to Harding University this past weekend, it's over in Arkansas.
6:15
SPEAKER_01: Um, they're in Division II, and they've made the national championship of Division II for the past four or five years, I believe.
6:22
SPEAKER_01: They won it in 2023.
6:24
SPEAKER_01: And the other team that makes the that that they're they're like both they're undefeated like every year um until the national championship.
6:32
SPEAKER_01: The other team is Ferris State, um, which is where Trinidad is from, right?
6:38
SPEAKER_01: Right.
6:39
SPEAKER_01: And so I'm watching this game and they they run this really unique offense there.
6:44
SPEAKER_01: It's kind of like a triple option thing.
6:46
SPEAKER_01: Um but we I mean we're sitting literally like right by the field.
6:50
SPEAKER_01: Uh you can sit wherever you want to in there, and and the players, they look like high school players, and it's just kind of unbelievable that Trinidad was able to come up through like that division two program like that, and that translated to the SEC.
7:07
SPEAKER_01: Um, it's really, really kind of hard to believe that he was able to do that.
7:12
SPEAKER_01: But anyways, it was a fun game.
7:14
SPEAKER_01: Um, they they run that triple option.
7:16
SPEAKER_01: You kind of know what they're gonna do every single time.
7:18
SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean, you don't know exactly, but it's one of basically four things, and the other team just can't stop them.
7:25
SPEAKER_01: I mean, they just they just get ahead of steam and they just roll.
7:28
SPEAKER_01: So, anyways, I thought that was kind of interesting.
7:32
SPEAKER_01: Um, but maybe Billy Puck is Trinidad.
7:34
SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
7:35
SPEAKER_00: Trinidad, man, it's just like I feel like that guy's like one in a million.
7:39
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you're you're just just very because everybody's thinking, oh, the backup quarterback, somebody might have a Trinidad on their roster.
7:46
SPEAKER_00: But I mean, I've never heard that story before uh for someone like Trinidad.
7:50
SPEAKER_00: So I mean it's literally like a uh a hidden gym that that happened just placed in their lap like that.
7:56
SPEAKER_00: I mean, it never happened in Mississippi State.
7:59
SPEAKER_01: But of course, you got Bama, you know, we talked about, I mean, they had like Jalen Hurts and then Tua comes off the bench, two NFL quarterbacks.
8:07
SPEAKER_01: You know.
8:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they always have these guys that like we said that we don't know their names, and and then they end up being household names by the end of the season and up for Oswald and all that sort of stuff, like Keelon or Russell.
8:19
SPEAKER_00: Um, but uh, but yeah, Georgia, Gunnar Stockton, and I mean they just they just get the job done.
8:25
SPEAKER_00: They really have not been tested until Alabama, and they proved to uh to be good.
8:30
SPEAKER_00: Well, what do you think about Kirby's uh uh speech getting leaked out, man?
8:33
SPEAKER_00: You think he was upset about that if he got leaked out?
8:35
SPEAKER_01: I mean Yeah, I wonder if he's mad about that.
8:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he was uh I wouldn't be one caught.
8:40
SPEAKER_00: I know, right?
8:41
SPEAKER_00: I'd hate to be the guy that that got caught uh recording it.
8:44
SPEAKER_00: It was so funny, man.
8:45
SPEAKER_00: It was totally different than Lane's Lane's speech that got leaked for the Clemson game.
8:50
SPEAKER_00: Sounded like he sounded like a high school girl like fussing and fighting with someone and just learned the F word and was trying to say it every time he could possibly get.
8:58
SPEAKER_00: And Kirby's was like so intense that he just wanted to run through a wall.
9:01
SPEAKER_00: Like got you fired up, reminded me of Alan Kirk throwing the uh shopping cart in the locker room, BW.
9:08
SPEAKER_00: That's just makes you want to run through a wall.
9:09
SPEAKER_00: You're fired up, and and lanes was just like you could tell he was like trying too hard.
9:13
SPEAKER_00: Like it was it was kind of weird.
9:15
SPEAKER_00: Uh, but Kirby's was was full full of uh botion.
9:19
SPEAKER_00: And people get mad about that.
9:20
SPEAKER_00: Say, I can't believe he would use such language, but man, like like those players, that's that's how you get through them.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: And you got a guy, you got a coach that that doesn't talk like that, you know, that's fine.
9:31
SPEAKER_00: Like Dabo, for instance.
9:32
SPEAKER_00: I know he doesn't talk like that, but I guarantee there are uh coaches on his staff that do.
9:36
SPEAKER_00: You have to have uh coaches around that that type of mentality to get into them and fire them up.
9:42
SPEAKER_00: So I can see why why Kirby uh Kirby does it.
9:45
SPEAKER_00: And he's a winner, man.
9:46
SPEAKER_00: Look what he's been doing.
9:46
SPEAKER_00: And and it obviously works, but that's just uh that's just a hardcore method.
9:51
SPEAKER_00: And he he uh he gets it done.
9:53
SPEAKER_00: And I I right now BW if I was taking a favorite, I think Georgia's gonna win the national championship right now.
9:58
SPEAKER_00: I really do.
9:59
SPEAKER_00: I think they're they're really good.
10:01
SPEAKER_01: Um who uh who do you think makes it at top four?
10:04
SPEAKER_01: I mean, who do you think gets in the the semis?
10:07
SPEAKER_00: Right now, uh Georgia and Miami, I I would think would be the would be the final final two, possibly but Notre Dame, they're really good.
10:15
SPEAKER_00: And then Ohio State, I think they'll get in.
10:17
SPEAKER_00: Indiana, man.
10:18
SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't think they're gonna make it back again for the finals this year.
10:21
SPEAKER_00: But my four would be uh Georgia, Miami, Notre Dame, and Ohio State right now.
10:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, is who I'll pick pick to be the four.
10:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm with you on that one too.
10:30
SPEAKER_01: Unless um, you know, things flip-flop.
10:33
SPEAKER_01: Maybe let's say Bama goes all the way through, makes the SEC championship, right?
10:38
SPEAKER_01: Beats beats Georgia, kind of goes on a run like that.
10:40
SPEAKER_01: I could see them maybe going through uh if they get hot, but I think Georgia's just too consistent.
10:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're real consistent.
10:48
SPEAKER_00: And that's the thing I kind of like about Georgia, is they just they're not really flashy, man.
10:52
SPEAKER_00: They just get the job done.
10:53
SPEAKER_00: I mean, they're kind of like Bama was with Nick Saban, same sort of dude.
10:57
SPEAKER_00: Right.
10:57
SPEAKER_00: And obviously that's probably why, because Kirby Smart is a Nick Saban disciple, working with him and everything, and he learned from him, and it's kind of the same thing.
11:05
SPEAKER_00: They they just they go out, take care of business, get the win, and move on.
11:10
SPEAKER_00: Nothing, there's no drama, no, nothing like LSU and Lane, like no drama you don't hear.
11:14
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you've heard arrest and stuff like that, but as far as like drama with Kirby Smart, nope, he just goes in, chews him out, gets them, gets them to play their best, and gets the win and moves on to the next week, gets another win.
11:27
SPEAKER_00: And uh, but yeah, I you know, I watched, I don't know if people watched it, but there's a Nick Saban documentary out on is no, I'm ready to watch it.
11:34
SPEAKER_00: Is it's out now?
11:36
SPEAKER_00: I watched the first two episodes, yeah.
11:38
SPEAKER_00: And uh man, he uh Kirby, I mean he learned everything, obviously, from Nick Saban, because he just you know, it's just amazing, Nick Saban, how how he did it, you know, and and I mean the guy's really not intimidating when you look at it, but he literally just scared to death.
11:56
SPEAKER_00: Those players are literally scared to death of this little guy like Nick Saban just chewing them out and getting getting them to get the best out of their potential.
12:03
SPEAKER_00: I think that's why he didn't succeed in the NFL, because at the time, you know, you're trying to tell guys they're making more money than you as a coach what to do.
12:11
SPEAKER_00: They're looking at him like whatever.
12:12
SPEAKER_00: But he he I mean, those guys listened to him because they knew they wanted to get to the league and and he had the way to get them in there.
12:20
SPEAKER_00: And uh it's pretty cool.
12:21
SPEAKER_00: So I just finished the episode the other night about him going to LSU, and I didn't realize how bad, you know, when you think of LSU football, you think of a blue blood like Bama and everything.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: But when he took the job in like 2000, LSU in the late 90s were was not very good.
12:37
SPEAKER_00: And the facilities there were terrible and and they didn't have like an academic center and all sorts of stuff.
12:43
SPEAKER_00: And the way he got to LSU, he was comfortable in Michigan State.
12:48
SPEAKER_00: They were winning.
12:48
SPEAKER_00: It didn't he beat uh Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, uh, all these big time school schools in in one season.
12:57
SPEAKER_00: And uh, I mean you could tell he was a coach on the rise, and and Michigan State, they were happy there, but he literally um they would not pay him what he wanted that they were gonna have to they were gonna decrease his salary for$100,000.
13:11
SPEAKER_00: And he said to me, Are you not you're saying I'm not worth the hundred thousand?
13:15
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, No, you're not.
13:17
SPEAKER_00: So uh anyway, he he had been getting offers from all around, and and his wife, Miss Terry, said that uh they thought he should look at LSU, and they did.
13:25
SPEAKER_00: And when they got down there, they were like, Man, this this place needs some help.
13:29
SPEAKER_00: They're they're they don't have nothing good here going on.
13:32
SPEAKER_00: And when he got to the press conference to be introduced as LC's coach, he called Miss Terry and was like, I can't do this, I've got to quit.
13:38
SPEAKER_00: I can't take this job.
13:39
SPEAKER_00: This is terrible.
13:40
SPEAKER_00: And she said, You put your big, big uh, what'd she say?
13:44
SPEAKER_00: Uh uh put your big boy panties on there and get your ass in there and do it.
13:47
SPEAKER_00: And uh, and he did, and he was successful and turned the program around.
13:52
SPEAKER_00: And and then look what he did at Bama when he got there.
13:54
SPEAKER_00: They were kind of the same thing, like having tough seasons, just literally the goat, man.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: And you know, I tell people, well, like if he had gone to Mississippi State, you know, why does he take these blue blood jobs and what would have happened if he came to state, man?
14:07
SPEAKER_00: I really honestly I think he would have turned Mississippi State into a winner like that.
14:11
SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, but he's just that good.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: And uh and all the guys, like the 2015 Bama uh team coaching staff.
14:20
SPEAKER_00: I mean, all these big time coaches were all are all on that staff with him.
14:24
SPEAKER_00: And and like I said, Kirby is the one that's coming making the biggest name of himself of everyone.
14:30
SPEAKER_00: Uh, but this just loaded, just it's worth the watch, man.
14:33
SPEAKER_00: I can't wait to watch the rest of them.
14:35
SPEAKER_00: But uh yeah, I can see Georgia building on that dynasty just like Alabama did with Savan.
14:42
SPEAKER_00: But uh going back to our game, BW, I don't know, I know a few years ago we had uh Scooter Boudreaux on here.
14:48
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
14:49
SPEAKER_00: Previewing this game down on the bayou with with Coteau, and uh if we got him at a good time, he was getting ready to go gator running or something.
14:56
SPEAKER_00: But he was yeah, he he he was an interesting guy.
14:59
SPEAKER_00: And uh so going to the game, BW, um your take on the game.
15:04
SPEAKER_00: Let's let's do a little prediction here.
15:06
SPEAKER_00: If Camario plays, if he doesn't play, pick a score with him playing and pick a score with him not playing.
15:12
SPEAKER_00: What about fluff?
15:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: Uh I don't know.
15:18
SPEAKER_01: I think I think fluff is key also, but yes, but I'll go with so let's say we have Camario but we don't have fluff.
15:26
SPEAKER_01: Um I think I think we can win.
15:28
SPEAKER_01: I think it'll be close.
15:30
SPEAKER_01: Um something like 3128.
15:33
SPEAKER_01: If we have fluff, we could potentially win by more than that.
15:38
SPEAKER_00: Um even without Camario but just having fluffy.
15:40
SPEAKER_01: No, no, if we have Camario and Fluff, oh yeah, healthy.
15:46
SPEAKER_01: Uh I could see 4228.
15:49
SPEAKER_01: Wow, okay.
15:50
SPEAKER_01: I think I'm keeping going there.
15:52
SPEAKER_01: Without without Camario, uh I think it's it's bad.
15:57
SPEAKER_01: I think it's 4217.
16:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
16:01
SPEAKER_01: Maybe 4210.
16:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
16:04
SPEAKER_01: Pretty bad.
16:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh, I can remember I didn't realize the SPW until I heard about this yesterday, but I knew it, but I didn't think about it.
16:11
SPEAKER_00: This view state did not beat LSU.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: They beat LSU in Tiger Stadium in 1991, Jackie Cyril's first season, and did not beat out LSU again until 1999.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: Um, and then they didn't win that one after that until 2014.
16:27
SPEAKER_00: And then they won one in 2017, 2020.
16:30
SPEAKER_00: So four times they've beaten LSU in 30 uh 35 years.
16:36
SPEAKER_00: Four times, four times.
16:38
SPEAKER_00: So uh, and most of the games, if you look at the scores, have been just just like the Bama series, just just absolutely just taken to the woodshed.
16:48
SPEAKER_00: A lot of these games I remember like 42 to nothing at halftime, just blowouts.
16:53
SPEAKER_00: And uh but man, I I think I think uh I hate to say this, PW, I think it's gonna be a blowout no matter what.
16:59
SPEAKER_00: Unless the only way I think it's not a blowout is if Kamaria and Fluff are playing, and they're both in full strength.
17:05
SPEAKER_01: But there's no way's gotta be full of full strength for us to win.
17:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's gotta be full strength.
17:11
SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm gonna do.
17:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
17:13
SPEAKER_00: Unless unless Levy is taking a playbook out of Lane's playbook and screwing with everybody, and they're I think we lost Johnny.
17:35
SPEAKER_01: Hang on a sec.
17:38
SPEAKER_01: Johnny.
17:43
SPEAKER_01: We lost you there.
17:44
SPEAKER_01: Um the last thing we got was um took a playbook out of Lane's took took a page out of Lane's playbook.
17:52
SPEAKER_01: Can you hear me right now?
17:53
SPEAKER_01: I got you now.
17:53
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
17:54
SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah.
17:54
SPEAKER_00: I think uh he took a playbook out of uh uh Lane's playbook by screwing with them, saying that they're hurting not.
18:01
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
18:01
SPEAKER_00: Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
18:03
SPEAKER_00: That that would benefit us if he did, and ever and LC thinks they're not playing and then they come out full strength.
18:09
SPEAKER_00: And I think we get the W if that's the case.
18:12
SPEAKER_00: But you know, Vegas has LC a 10-point favorite.
18:15
SPEAKER_00: So they're they they I guess they're they're planning on Kamaria not playing.
18:19
SPEAKER_00: But um, they'll like I said the only way I think we get the W is if Fluff and Kamaria are at full strength and they can go.
18:24
SPEAKER_00: But I just don't feel like that's that's the case.
18:26
SPEAKER_00: I mean, if it's if they're in full strength, why would you not just say that, you know?
18:30
SPEAKER_00: Uh unless they're gonna screw up uh with them, which I just I don't think Levy's the type of guy like Landon that would screw around like that.
18:37
SPEAKER_00: Maybe he is, I don't know.
18:38
SPEAKER_00: But um but I don't think they're gonna play, and I think Billy what's the name?
18:44
SPEAKER_00: Parker Billy Puckett Prescott.
18:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Parker Parker Puckett, and they call him Billy, and he wears 15.
18:50
SPEAKER_00: So Parker Billy Puckett Prescott uh is gonna be thrown in.
18:54
SPEAKER_00: And he, hey man, if that guy wants to be a legend, go out and come on at Tiger Stadium.
19:00
SPEAKER_00: Come on, you'll be a legend forever in Marine and White.
19:03
SPEAKER_01: He'll take over KJ Costello's roles.
19:05
SPEAKER_00: Yes, yeah.
19:06
SPEAKER_00: Maybe KJ has a year of uh eligibility left.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: We can stick this from the field.
19:11
SPEAKER_00: That would be great.
19:12
SPEAKER_00: Um he was a one-hit wonder, man.
19:14
SPEAKER_00: Throwing breaking the SEC passing records in that one game, and then never to be heard from again.
19:19
SPEAKER_00: So uh this is Billy's chance if he's if he can, but I just don't see it, man.
19:24
SPEAKER_00: Uh I don't see it.
19:25
SPEAKER_00: I think it's uh blowout.
19:27
SPEAKER_00: I think it's 40, like you said, 42, uh 17, somewhere.
19:31
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go with you like that.
19:33
SPEAKER_00: Um but uh man, hopefully we'll we'll be proven wrong.
19:37
SPEAKER_00: Hopefully, come Saturday morning, we'll get full health on on uh tomario and but like I said, if he really does have a bad turf toe, he doesn't need to aggravate it anymore by playing on a game that you know you're probably gonna lose.
19:52
SPEAKER_00: Because they're getting their games out on the schedule that we should win with Bandy and Auburn and Oklahoma, possibly.
20:02
SPEAKER_00: You know, we need him to play in those games because if we don't have him the rest of the season, Billy goes, You're looking at another six and six, five and seven season possibly, which is so unfortunate because you got Camario, you're you're looking eight and four, nine and nine and three.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: So uh it's a difference in that couple games.
20:20
SPEAKER_00: So uh yeah, you really need him, but but I'm I'm on the I'm on the way of saying if he's hurt or semi-hurt and he can't perform to sit him because you don't need to aggravate it.
20:32
SPEAKER_00: Turf toe, I don't know much about turf toe.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: Only I remember having turf toe was Malik Newman, that basketball player at Mississippi State that was so five-star.
20:39
SPEAKER_00: Everyone couldn't wait to see him play.
20:41
SPEAKER_00: And he sat out his first game with turf toe.
20:43
SPEAKER_00: I was like, what the heck is turf toe?
20:45
SPEAKER_00: But I've read where it could be pretty bad, man.
20:47
SPEAKER_00: If it's a grade three, they said that could be season ending, so I don't know what his is or what, but I think I have turf toe, Johnny.
20:55
SPEAKER_00: You'd have turf toe?
20:57
SPEAKER_01: So I I did this something like a year and a half ago at the beach to my toe.
21:05
SPEAKER_01: If I if I do too much, still it hurts.
21:09
SPEAKER_01: And I don't know what I did to it.
21:11
SPEAKER_01: I've never been to the doctor.
21:13
SPEAKER_01: I should probably go to the doctor, but it's it's just enough that it hurts sometimes, and then sometimes it doesn't, just depends on how active I am.
21:19
SPEAKER_01: But I could imagine being a football player.
21:21
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
21:22
SPEAKER_01: If that's what it is, man, it when it hurts, it hurts.
21:26
SPEAKER_01: Uh and it just it just nags, it just doesn't want to go away.
21:29
SPEAKER_00: So um I will say this about Kamari.
21:32
SPEAKER_00: Remember last year in the ball game, dude got hurt like 25 times in the game.
21:35
SPEAKER_00: Yes, and he kept coming in and coming out, coming in.
21:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, we thought he tore his ACL, busted up his knee, yeah, career ending injury possibly, and he just comes right back.
21:44
SPEAKER_00: So if you have something to look forward to, you think about that.
21:47
SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, we thought he was career was done, and look at he able to came come back.
21:52
SPEAKER_00: So maybe wishful thinking that he can uh he can get over this turf toe or whatever.
21:58
SPEAKER_01: This is what I would like to happen.
21:59
SPEAKER_01: So let's say he if he's too if he's too hurt to go this week, just don't let him go.
22:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, put Puckett in, and then maybe uh so we got Oklahoma next after that, right?
22:09
SPEAKER_01: Um so maybe he sits out first half of Oklahoma, and then he comes back in, we rally, we get the wind, he's back, he's back to health, full health, and then we just run, then we just run it down, man.
22:24
SPEAKER_01: We we go down there and upset Texas.
22:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're still in the conversation.
22:29
SPEAKER_01: Um you can lose this game.
22:31
SPEAKER_01: Um but wishful thinking, Johnny.
22:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
22:37
SPEAKER_00: All depends on on the health of one guy, man.
22:39
SPEAKER_00: It's pretty crazy how important he is to the team.
22:42
SPEAKER_00: But uh, but yeah, we'll see what happens, man.
22:45
SPEAKER_00: Looking forward to going down there regardless, win or lose.
22:48
SPEAKER_00: Always a fun time to go down and yeah, being down that way for good food and hanging out.
22:53
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna I'm gonna uh uh be on the lookout for Cookie Kiffin, man.

22:58
SPEAKER_00: I see where he's been uh he was like playing golf, man, and and he was hooking the ball, and he was like, I'm hooking the ball, I'm hooking the ball.
23:05
