  Speaker 1: all at hardrock.bet backslash clay. I just want just a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: feeling because quarterback is so important, especially in college football,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: but in the NFL, too. The Jets, it's been a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: while since they've gotten it right. When's the last time
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the Jets got quarterback right?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Boomer Esiason. I mean, Chad Pennington was a good quarterback.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Solid quarterback for them.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Solid, yeah.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: But even the years Rex Ryan was taking them to
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the AFC Championship, Mark Sanchez was.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, they got it right with Sam Darnold. I mean,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I just think their organization's just not good.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: They don't have the quarterback right when the other pieces
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: are bad and then the.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Well, those Rex Ryan teams, it was Sanchez, right? Was
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that the quarterback? Yeah, I mean, the defense was just
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: so good. Sanchez was so good.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And the running game.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And the run game with Curtis Martin. So if I
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: asked you.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: This is easy for me. Who's the New York.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Jets in college football about not getting quarterback right?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: If Kirk Ferentz could get it right, I will. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: was going to say I will. Are we all going there?
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: You just look since Brad Banks. And Brad Banks was
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: a really good quarterback. So I think his first game
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: was in 1999. Kirk's was as the head coach of Iowa,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: but in the last almost 30 years, outside of Brad Banks, C.J.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Bethward was okay.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: He was on some NFL rosters.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: But I'll give you Ricky Stanzi, Matt Rogers, Spencer Petros,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Mark Gronowski from last year. This year they've got Hank Brown.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, the quarterback play has been awful. They have
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: filled the NFL with tight ends. They've had good running backs,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: but they... And great defenses.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Great defenses. I mean, they have just... Because either of
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Ferentz's offensive philosophy or just the fact he can't get
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: quarterback right, they have wasted a window, honestly.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they're leading the FBS right now in
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: scoring defense, but nobody knows that because it doesn't matter.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: We may know it after the weekend. I mean, if
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: they are to go into the big house and win
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: that game as five-and-a-half-point underdogs, that would be impressive. But obviously,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Michigan is offensively challenged, so that could be one of those...
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Was it 3-2 Auburn-Mississippi State?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Iowa-Michigan looks like one of those games.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: What is it when those.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Is it Spider-Verse when all the Spider-Men are pointing at
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: each other?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a meme from the original Spider-Man cartoon
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: and referenced in the Spider-Verse movie.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what this feels like.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Iowa and Michigan looking at each other this weekend.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing. You're all the same people.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: We're the same thing.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: They are. I mean, they are.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Can you make a case?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm not doing this for show here, but It's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: been a while since Auburn got quarterback right. And we'll
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: see what Byron Brown ends up being.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Is it Bo Nix?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Is it Jarrett Stidham? Where do we go back to where.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Auburn got it right?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Much like the Jets when they had quarterback. I mean,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix was a pretty good quarterback.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going back to Nick Marshall, though. That's where I'd
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: go back, yeah. I would.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, Stidham took them to an SEC championship. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: he's still playing.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he's a backup. Here's something to look at,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: and I didn't look this up for Iowa. When is
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: the last time Auburn had an all-conference quarterback? It was
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: probably Cam Newton. Oh, yeah.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: You can't go back past Cam Newton. Nick Marshall is
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: where I went back to as well. I mean, it's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a tough— they played Baylor in Florida, so their schedule is
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: tougher than most. But to this point, Byron Brown has
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: been disappointing to me.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many people— I heard McElroy talking about
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: it from ESPN yesterday. Lugenbill has said it. Klatt has
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: said it. Dusty Dvorak has said it. aaron murray has
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: every analyst i hear is like the dude is just
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: late on every throw like he is late every single
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: time mack roy was talking about it on his uh
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: either on jocks or zsp and stuff i'm not sure
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: where the cut was from that i heard greg say
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: this but greg was like man there was a play
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: in that game where he had a uh Receiver streaking
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: down the sidelines.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: He pumped three times. And he's like, get rid of
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the football.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? And he goes, and then he
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: missed him. He goes, it's a touchdown. It's an absolute
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: walk-in touchdown. And he pumped, pumped, pumped, or hitched, hitch, hitch, hitch,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: and then threw. He's like, see it, read it, throw it,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: is what Greg was saying. And Greg's not alone in this.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Like, I've heard so many analysts say this about him.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, Florida, outside of Kyle Trask, it was Tebow.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, Florida hadn't gotten quarterback, right?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what year is that now? That's back to 2009.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: 2009, yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Trask was good in 2020. That was a.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Good football team. No, really good football team. Yeah, other
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: than that. I mean, outside of– I mean, Kellen Mond
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: was okay. Johnny Manziel was a stud. But, I mean,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Texas A & M doesn't really seem to get quarterback.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: They don't. Kellen Mond was better than we were– or
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: his numbers were better than he was.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Does that make sense?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Like, they didn't– It's Texas A & M, so they
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: never have anything to show for anything because they're Texas
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: A & M. But Monset, all these school records and all,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you know, SEC, I would guess he may be top
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: ten passing yards in SEC history, if I look.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll give you another one.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And they've got nothing to show for it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Penn State. I mean, since Trace McSorley going back to
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: that 2016 Rose Bowl, like Drew Allard was okay, Sean
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Clifford was okay, but they don't get quarterback, right?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It seems like they really went Trace McSorley– Xerox, they
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: tried to Xerox him a couple of times and got
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: lesser value, like their quarterback ink was running out in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: their Xerox machine.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: It's pretty incredible when you look at, I mean, NIL
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: gives you a big indication, the transfer portal of guys
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: that have already produced. Like Darian Mensah, it seemed like
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: a no-brainer. Like I said at all offseason, this is
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: going to be an upgrade over what you had with
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Carson Beck.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why I think a lot of people criticized
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Dabo at Clemson. We could get to the point they're
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: criticizing Elko at Texas A & M that it's hard
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to move on from Marcel Reed because you were in
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. But, I mean, when you've got
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: money and you chose not to go get a quarterback
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: in the portal, you just said, okay, I'm going to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: play with the guy I got. And then your quarterback
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: looks like he's less than. I mean, that's a damning
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: thing now in college football.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Here's another one. How about Notre Dame? C.J. Carr is
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: really good. But before that, Ian Book was okay. I mean, they're–
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, Tommy Reese is okay.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Tommy Reese.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Riley Leonard was who I was going to go to.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, Riley Leonard did take them to a national
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: championship game.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They had Hartman before that, right?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Sam Hartman?
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Sam Hartman. Sam Hartman after. After.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: They did the portal thing for a while. Not as
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: good as Miami's doing it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's easy to take shots on them on
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: anything bad in football, but Florida State is in this
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: category as well. I don't know the last, I guess
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Jordan Travis, so that's not that long ago. I mean,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: that was still 2023, right? But boy, they're on a
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: bad run right now with quarterbacks. I say that on
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the heels of Ashton Daniels throwing for 307 yards on
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Alabama's defense at Tuscaloosa, but he's still not good.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Iowa's the answer.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: If they had better offensive play, better quarterback play what
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: would the last 15 years have been?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: But, I mean, some programs always get it right. Ohio
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: State and Alabama, you know, Oregon, Georgia.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if Alabama always got it right.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: They had a quarterback manager at times, but, you know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: from McElroy on, they've been pretty good.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, when's the last.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Time Georgia– So, I mean, we're talking about 15 straight years. Oh, no,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: that's a long time, yeah. I mean, when's the last
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: time Georgia's been bad at quarterbacking? It was the Joe Cox, right?
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: They don't really. Yeah, and that was pre-Kirby. They don't
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: really get.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Like, I feel like.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: We discount Stetson.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: They had terrible quarterback play the last few years of
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Mark Rick.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Post-Aaron Murray, they were a god awful. No, they were.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And that's my point. And once Kirby took over, when
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: have they gotten it really, really wrong?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Grayson Lambert was awful. Grayson Lambert was a starting quarterback
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: at Georgia? I thought Jacob Eason, Kirby's first quarterback, was
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: going to be good. Yeah, I know. Never worked out.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Never worked out.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: But once he got it going, I mean, you're right.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: We don't give enough credit to Stetson Bennett. And I
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: feel like Stetson Bennett 2.0 is quarterbacking them right now.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Is he ever going to get the credit, you think?
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Probably not.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like we've got, Jim, you mentioned
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Xerox and quarterback. I feel like we've Xeroxed Stetson Bennett,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: and he's starting for Georgia right now.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: With Gunnar Stockton. With Gunnar Stockton, and nobody's ever going
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: to give him any credit.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So it gets us to the state of Mississippi, and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Brooks put this graphic out the other day. Better Mississippi
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: quarterback year. Was it what we're going through now with
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Kamario Taylor and Trinidad Chambliss? are back in 2015 when
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Chad Kelly and Dak.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Prescott was there. Oh, this is so much better. And
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I came walking.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: In and I said, Brooks puts out 100 graphics, 99
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of them are good, but this ain't one. That's basically
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: what I said. I said, this is such an easy answer.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It's Trinidad and Camarillo. And Brown said, Not so fast,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: my friend. And he started taking up for the numbers.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: So give us the numbers, Brooks, on why Chad Kelly
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott is on this graphic.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Real quick, Brooks, before you do that, I think both
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: of these quarterbacks really good college quarterbacks obviously dac has
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: had a ton of success in the nfl and both
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: of these teams were highly highly ranked with all that
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: said i'm just going back i test it's not even
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: close but go.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Ahead you're going current current guys yeah me too but
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: then brown and now brooks are going to throw some
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: numbers out that that made this more interesting Yeah, certainly.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not projecting out like what their pro
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: careers are going to look like. I do agree that
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: the 2026 versions are probably better pro prospects. Now, I
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: will say I don't know that either one of them
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: may have the bar that Dax set in the NFL.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: None of them may have Dax career. If you may,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: we do this on four downs a lot. Lance, take
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that group of four, you know, Chad Kelly. So take
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: that group of three. Best career, Dak Prescott, Trinidad Chambliss,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: or Kamario Taylor in the NFL? I mean, you're going
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: to go Dak.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I would go Dak. What I've got, but Kamario seems
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: like he's going to be the guy.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I don't disagree.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I would go Dak. But I'd almost go Kamario Taylor. Well, okay.
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: Strictly in college, Chad Kelly was, it's been done since,
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: but he was only the third player in conference history
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: to have a 4,000-yard passing season and 30 touchdowns.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: It blew me away when Brown told me that number.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: That season, Brooks, and this is what I told Dunaway,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I was like, that is the 11th best single season
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: in SEC history. I mean, before we just crumbled Chad
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Kelly up and threw him to the side. Anything else,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: all you had to say was 4,000 yards. I was like,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: in his career?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Nope. That year. That single year. I was like, are
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: you kidding?
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: And 30 touchdowns.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I told Dunaway, I was like, what if I told
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: you Hugh Freeze used to be able to get play
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: out of quarterbacks?
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and then that was actually Dak's senior season, not
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: the 2014 team that went to number one.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: He had a better passing season in his senior year.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: Had– I think 28 touchdowns, very low interception ratio, kind
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: of set himself up to be a pro prospect.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I just thought it was an interesting question.
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: A lot of the Mississippi folks, you know, latched onto
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: it and gave their opinion. There's some nostalgic people who
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: that was around my time graduating college.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: So that was interesting.
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: I vividly remember how good the quarterback play was out
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: of Mississippi at that time.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you would have to go back more
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: than likely to Florida. One of these years with Florida State, Miami, Florida,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Florida State, when you've had two quarterbacks at this level
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: in the same state. Because I don't think Alabama and
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Auburn have ever had that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I would tell you that much like Dak, McElroy won
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the national championship in 2009, but he had a much
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: better passing year in 2010. Like, I don't know what
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: his passing numbers were in 2012.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they were better than 2009. He was one
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: of the better quarterbacks in the country. But, I mean,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Cam and Greg McIlroy is going to be hard to
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: match up to those.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: It definitely was because A.J.
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: McCarron was the first 3,000-yard passer in school history.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, Greg had a better year, there's no doubt.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I was just tagging him. I was commuting him
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: with Cam.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Cam, he weighs that one pretty heavily.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, there's a chance when it's all said
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: and done and it's not there yet. These could be
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: the greatest quarterbacks in those schools' histories. I mean, look,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: we've got a Manning, a couple of Mannings at Ole Miss,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: and then obviously you've got Dak at Mississippi State. But
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the way this is trending, if they continue to play
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: like this, they are going to be the best quarterbacks
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: to ever play at those two universities.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Help me out on the panel here. Archie and Eli,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: neither one of them won the Heisman, right?
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: That's correct.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Trinidad could be the first Heisman Trophy winner
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: in Ole Miss history. Did anybody else win the Heisman
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: in Ole Miss history?
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: No.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Nope.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, that'd be a pretty big deal.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: That'd be a huge deal. A bigger deal would be
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: if Camario wins it at Mississippi State.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because nobody's won it there either.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they even had a finalist.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: By the way, the Mississippi State AD, Zach Selman, has
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: seen all the talk, and he says, we will be
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: as competitive as we need to be on keeping Mario.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Camario Taylor. I hate he's having to say this. Well,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: there's been such a.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Big discussion this week all over that he is saying
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that when we get to the end of the year,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: we'll be as competitive as we need to be.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Can you lock a guy into a contract already for
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: next year? You could.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: There really are no rules right now.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: By the way, Camario and his family have come out
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and saying... you know, we're going to want market value,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: but we're marooned. We chose Mississippi State for a reason.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: That's why you get it done right now. Because, you know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I was talking to a buddy yesterday who was looking
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: for tickets, and I was like, you could have gotten
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: get-ins for like– or pretty good tickets for 130 to
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Starkville next week against Alabama. But much like those tickets,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: if Camario beats Missouri and then beats Alabama– You might
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: be able to get him for $ 5 million next year
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: right now, but that number is going to continue to
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: go up. So I would buy low right now if
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I am Mississippi State, and I'd lock that guy in.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Hey, a couple of injury notes that could impact a
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: couple of games. First of all, off-Broadway, if you're at
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Hard Rock Bet and you're looking at games and you're
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: thinking to yourself, Colorado, Baylor, interesting game. DJ Lagway, probable.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So Lagway coming back, that's important to know in that game.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And in Wake Forest and Louisville, Gio Lopez questionable in
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that game, which could manipulate on how you think about
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that game.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: The Brown Bandit looked at that one, actually. Wake Forest
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: and Louisville, Lance. Wake played pretty well against Miami. I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: know you look at that score and you're like, Miami
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: dusted Wake. If you watch that game, Gio Lopez moved
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: the ball.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I was surprised because Gio Lopez was not a good
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: quarterback last year at Carolina, but much better in this system.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: And I do think that they can have success moving
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the football game On Louisville, the problem is Keenholz has
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: been so freaking good. Since that first half, the first
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: half against Ole Miss, he's completing almost 70% of his throws,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: 11 touchdowns, no picks. So he's been virtually flawless. Yeah.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I looked at that, though, Dunaway, but with the unknown–
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Nature of Gio Lopez, you couldn't pull the trigger on
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Wake right there. But I think if Lopez is healthy
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: and plays, that's an interesting game for Louisville. 11 o'clock,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I will not be touching it. Yeah, Lance will not
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: look at it at 11. But I think interesting in
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: terms of probably closer than you think. Maybe not that
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Wake wins the game, but we've just said, hey, Louisville,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: they barely got to think the rest of their schedule.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: This one will be closer than some.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: We'll do some more injury talk coming up in the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: next round part of this. I did want to get
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to this before Clay comes up on the other side.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I did not know this existed. Only two people have it,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: but Devontae Adams of the Rams was on Kay Adams'
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: No Relation podcast.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Taco Bell in the house? Yeah, I was about to say.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: And he said, I am one of only two people
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: that has a purple card that gives me, I can
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: use it like a credit card, and I can get
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: unlimited Taco Bell anytime. He goes, I can walk in,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: he told Kay Adams, I can walk in right now
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and get $ 7 million worth of, Taco Bell and throw
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: the biggest Taco Bell party at SoFi if I wanted to.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: The question is, who's the other guy? I know the
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: other guy. I was going to ask you. Is he
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: a sports figure? We know his name, if you say
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: his name. Oh, you will know his name. Oh, I will.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: He is not respected on the show by at least 33%
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: of the panel.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Dabo Sweeney.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: No, no. He's not in sports, but he is sports adjacent.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: He's an entertainer.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Sports adjacent. Oh, it's not Jimmy Fallon, is it? No,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: it's not Jimmy Fallon.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Who is it?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Give me a guess.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: You take a guess.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'll take a guess from the back
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: row if you don't know.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: I'd make Jimmy Fallon pay a cover to get in.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would too. Sports adjacent. I don't want to
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: be in for life. You see this guy with sports
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: figures all the time. Oh, Drake?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: In fact, you see this person on everything all the time.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I think, Lance, you've said before this guy never says.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: No to anything. Snoop Dogg. It's close.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: Kevin Hart.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: It's Kevin Hart. Why did he get one?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Kevin Hart.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Did he do Taco Bell commercials? No, I've never seen
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: him do one.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: He does a lot of commercials.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: He actually promotes more stuff on the polar opposite end
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: of Taco Bell, like all his fitness stuff and ice baths.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: And that sort of deal. No, he's an extremely nice guy.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I just... I'm not a fan of Kevin Hart. I
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: just don't think he's funny. That's a weird one that
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: he's got one.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: We could put together a movie today and get Kevin
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Hart to star in it.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: That is.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: According to Devontae Adams, there's only two cards with Taco
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Bell for the world. In the world, it's a purple card.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: He says it's Taco Bell's version of.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: The black Amex. I think I'd rather have the Taco
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Bell card.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, how educated are Taco Bell employees that they
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: could look at? Yeah, Tyler, did you know.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: What a purple card was? Shots fired at me. No, no, no.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, McDonald's has the gold arch card. Okay, yeah.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: What they were saying is anybody, did you ever hear
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: about this?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying if Devontae Adams strolled into the
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Auburn Taco Bell and whipped that card out, do you
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: think the employees are like.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, give him what he wants. They would have no idea.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: I think it has a strip. I think you swipe
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: it like a credit card.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, my luck would be the swipe machine would be down.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Sorry, sir.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: We can't take your card. No, this is a purple card.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: We have tap. I don't care what color it is.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I don't care what color it is, sir. You're getting
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: the back of the line.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: So I just thought that was interesting. No, that's, yeah.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Boy, I'd love one of those.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I've got to fall in love with Taco Bell. I just,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I'd never eat it.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Mexican pizza. I doubled up Mexican yesterday. I did our
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: friend's Taco Mama for lunch. And then the Mexican joint
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: that you and I like and you don't like for dinner.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: See, I love Mexican food, but I never go Taco Bell.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I was going to do it the other day. I
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: did it the other day. I was going to do
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: it the other day. And my son, I was picking
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: up for him. He's home from between college and getting
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: his first real job. And he texted me. He's like,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: will you pick me up lunch? I said, yeah, what
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: do you want? He goes, I'm craving Taco Bell. I said,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I've been wanting to go to Taco Bell.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: I'll go in there.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I said, send me what you want. And he sent
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: me two things he wanted.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: And I went there.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: And they didn't have either one of them. They were
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: like specialty items that had just they just changed the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: menu from yesterday and I didn't know what else to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: get so I pulled away and went somewhere else I
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: think I went.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: To New York Butcher like Sam Levitt.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I was like I'd have to text him back that
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: New York Butcher shop sandwich I got one of those
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: last week I had one yesterday again stacked roast beef
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: oh my god I've I was like I was in
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: New York again. I walked out and tried to helicab.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: When we come back, Clay Travis joins the show. This
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: is the next round presented by Hard Rock Bets here
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: on Sporting State. I think Clay Travis is the guy
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that broke the news yesterday that President Trump is on
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: his way to number one Texas and number 14 Tennessee,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: 11 o'clock Central game, 12 Eastern in Knoxville, Tennessee. We've
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: all talked about being around the president for games, not
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: around him, but in the same stadium with him. Tennessee's
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: just a tough, tough venue for me to go to
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: games anyway.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Clay was with us in Atlanta. Cause I remember Clay
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and I, this is funny. Clay and I, Clay, I
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: don't know if you remember this, but there was a
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: rumor going through the press box that he was going
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: to come do the radio shows at halftime.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: You remember that?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: And you and I, I was talking to Clay. I
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: was like, you know, I've never seen a president, a
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: sitting president in person. So Clay and I during Bama
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: and Georgia, we're just sitting back there waiting to see
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: if he came through and he never came through.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they said that he was going to come through
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: the press box and do an interview with the game broadcast, right?
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: That was the rumor that was going through. And at
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: that point in time, I had never interviewed the president.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: I think I've interviewed him 11 times now. And I'd
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: certainly never met him either. And so I was with you.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: I was on the couch. I was like, well, let's
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: just chill here and we'll see if he's going to
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: come through and do the interview or not. We'll see
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: if we can get a handshake.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: He didn't do it. But, yeah, the White House.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: Called me yesterday and said, hey, Clay, you know, heads up.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: You can report president's going to go to Texas, Tennessee.
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: And so I tweeted that out. And now I think
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: the question is, you know, probably a lot of people
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: are debating, will he or will he not do college
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: game day? To me, just, you know, I'm on big news.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: So I will be at the at the Texas, Tennessee game.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: for big noon on Fox. And I encourage everybody to
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: make sure that they're watching Fox because that is where
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: you will see me big noon on Saturday. Having said that,
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: I think my position on this is straightforward. If you
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: can interview the president of the United States on any
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: show and you do a show for a living, you
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: interview the president of the United States. I don't care, Democrat, Republican,
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: whatever the position is. And so we'll see whether he's
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: gonna be any part of game day But if I
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: were betting, I would bet yes.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Real quickly on the president. I saw an interview with,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: help me out, Carolina Leavitt, former press secretary.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Is that her name?
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: And very engaging, by the way, not up there taking questions.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: It was a wonderful interview. I think she was on
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: with Hannity. And she said several times she's had to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: talk to President Trump that so many people have his
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: cell number and he answers it and will sit and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: talk to just random people. who call him up on
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the cell phone is that true clay that he he's
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: just he'll sit and talk to just whoever calls him.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: What about i don't know about random people but uh
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: i have i have interviewed him and he has stopped
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: multiple times to uh to take calls on his personal
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: cell phone um and you know he said hold on
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: i gotta talk to the governor here or hold on
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: i gotta take this one clay um And, uh, a
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: lot of people in media have it. I mean, I've
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: got a cell phone number. Um, I, I think, you know,
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: lots of people do. Um, and, uh, I, he is
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: the most accessible president that has ever lived in the
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: history of any of our lives. Like whatever you think
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: about him, um, you know, he answers more questions, talks
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: to the media more frequently, you know, he's got a
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: private cell cell phone that a lot of people have his, uh,
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: his cell phone number. Um, and, uh, yeah, look, I,
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: I think, um, The last time, well, I interviewed him
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: on Air Force One, but the last time he went to,
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: it's kind of a flex, the last time he went
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: to an SEC game was the Georgia-Alabama game in the
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: fall of 24. And you guys may remember I interviewed
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: him from the suite that he was in in, I think,
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: mid-September of 2024 for that game. So, look, he is
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: a monster sports fan. And I think As you look,
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, he wants to go to as many sporting
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: events as he can in this final term. And so
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: I think it should be quite the scene for what
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: I think is the biggest and best game coming up
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: this weekend on Saturday, Texas at Tennessee.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: So I want to ask you about that game. But
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: if you text him right now and said, man, I'm
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: kind of leaning Tennessee plus four and a half. Mr. President,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: who would you play in this? Would he text you
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: back on that?
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't think he would text back on gambling.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: And he's more of a talker than I think, generally speaking,
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: he is a texter. But, you know, look, the Protect
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: College Sports Act is likely to be passed in the
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: Senate on Friday. So I don't think it's coincidental that
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: he's going to the biggest college football game the day
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: after this bill is going to pass with a great
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: deal of bipartisan momentum in the Senate. to try to say, hey,
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: the House now has to come over the top and
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: sign this, pass this bill as well, so he can
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: sign it into law.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: So there is a direct college.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: Connection that I think is undergirding this decision to go
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: to this game at this point in time.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, so your team is 3-0. They've yet to play
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: a power-four team. They're running the football 299 yards per
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: game on the ground. That's great. We don't know how
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Faison Brandon is going to play in this situation, but
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: We we've got a pretty good sample size that arch
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: has been struggling, and this is going to be a
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: really difficult defense for him. What do you see at
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: 11 o'clock in Neyland between these two teams?
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to be a low scoring.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: I think Tennessee will lean on the, uh, lean on
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: the run game. And this will come down to how
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: to stays in Brandon play. And I, I, he's a
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: true freshman playing the number one team in the country
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: in front of a hundred and.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: You know, 3000 people.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: Uh, With 10 million people watching back home on television,
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: I think it's anybody's best guess as to how he
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: will play. They have so far protected him quite a bit.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: It helps to have a good offensive line and a
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: good running game, which I think Tennessee does have. They
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: also have a lot of talent at wide receiver. And
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: so to what extent will he make the big-time throw
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: when it's third and eight? Is he going to step
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: up in the pocket, make the right read, and deliver?
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: Or is he going to turn the football over? You know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: he has not had a single turnover so far in
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: the first three games. Got nine touchdowns, no turnovers. But
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: he is a true freshman. You know, this time last
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: year he was playing high school football in Charlotte.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: We don't see a.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: Lot of this now in modern college football where a
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: guy comes in as a true freshman and immediately takes
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: over a power program job. And so I think Tennessee
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: will keep this game really close. I think it will
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: be a 21-17 style game. I know there was a
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: lot more points scored last year, but it feels a
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: little bit like Georgia last year where Tennessee choked on
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: that field goal they should have made, which I think
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: sent their season into a completely different direction. I really
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: do believe if that field goal had been made, Tennessee
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: would have been a playoff team again last year. 42-yarder,
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: if I remember correctly, shanked it, losing overtime to Georgia.
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: Lose a couple other games you wish you hadn't. But
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: I do think if Tennessee had made that kick, I mean,
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: worst case scenario, they're 9-3. But I think they would
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: have beaten either Oklahoma or Vanderbilt down the stretch and
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: gotten to 10-2 and been in the playoff.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Speaking of different directions, Lane Kiffin coming off the loss now.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Obviously a challenging game with A & M in town.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Where does the season go now for Lane? How bad
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: could this season get?
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Look, I mean, first of all, I don't think it's
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: just Lane. Either Texas A & M is going to
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: be 0-2 in the SEC with seven SEC games left,
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: or LSU is going to be 0-2 in the SEC
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: with seven games left. And, you know, basically, I think
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: at that point in time, whoever loses this game on
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: Saturday night in Baton Rouge, their playoff dreams are over, right?
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: And these were two teams that expected to be in
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: the playoff. The fan bases did. And to have your
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: playoff dream be over it, you know, what are we
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: sitting in here?
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: We've barely gotten into fall at all, right?
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: Like barely into September, not even into October yet, barely
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: into the fall. And so I think the pressure is
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: going to get ratcheted up in a big degree. I
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: actually think LSU will find a way to win. And
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: whichever team wins will say, hey, we righted the ship.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: We're in a decent spot going forward. But I think
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: it's going to be a challenge.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: The other side of the outcome of that game last
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: week is Ole Miss going to Florida. And this is
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: a remarkable game that we've talked a lot about, Clay,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: because Ole Miss is an underdog, a top-five team on
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: the road, an underdog to the Florida Gators. And a
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: lot of people cannot wrap their heads around that to
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: the point that, as far as ticket count goes, Ole
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Miss is the most bet team in college for the
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: NFL as of last night. It could have changed today.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Pretty remarkable that this game is playing out at least–
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: The way it is, I guess Vegas has played this
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: game out the way they have.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: So far yeah look I took Florida so the way
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: I'm betting that's probably a good sign for everybody who's
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: on Ole Miss but I looking at John Summerall and
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: the way this team has has played I think you
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: have to be impressed he doesn't look like a first
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: year coach this doesn't look like a first year system
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: And remember the last time, if I remember correctly, that
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: Florida went to Ole Miss, they had their playoff, sorry,
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: that Ole Miss went to Florida, they had their playoff
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: hopes dashed. That was Jackson Dart's final SEC game. They
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: lost as a favorite, I don't know, by a touchdown
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: or more, if I remember in that game, and created
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: a huge sort of tidal wave of negativity for Jackson
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Dart because he played poorly, threw a couple of picks,
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: I think that Florida will find a way to win
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: a high-scoring game, and I think what this is going
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: to be symptomatic, emblematic of is SEC football is now
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: like the NFL. LT, you're a Rams guy. Your team
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: looked awful against the 49ers in Australia. They went and
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: just got obliterated. came back home and crushed the Giants
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: on that Monday night football game, if I remember it correctly,
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: or Sunday night, whenever the night was that was being played.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: There's a big swing week to week between what a
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: team can look like in the NFL because the average
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: competition level is not that extreme between the best team
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: and the worst team in the NFL. And I think
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: you're going to start seeing that in college football where
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: at the end of the year, if you can go
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: 6-3 in the SEC– certainly if you can go 7-2.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: I think you have to sit back and say that
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: was a heck of a season. And I'm not sure
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: that college football fans are ready for that pivot to
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: an NFL-style schedule, but we're here, and I think people
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: are going to have to adjust accordingly.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Well, and we're here, and I've said this on the show,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: and I've talked to other people about it. We're here, Clay,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: in the world where, like the NFL, one week's results
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: in college football indicate nothing about the next week. The
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: greatest example is the Bears scoring a billion points in
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: week one and then three in week two. Kentucky completely
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: laying an egg.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Just in college football.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: Look at Texas A & M versus Kentucky.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: That was my point.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Kentucky gets run out of the stadium second half. I
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: gambled on this one.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know which side you took, but I took
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: South Carolina plus the points and the over at Bama.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: South Carolina coming into Alabama is not dissimilar to Kentucky
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: in coming into Texas A & M last week after
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: a big home loss, poor second-half performance.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: Fan base is done with them.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: And then, you know, the number of Kentucky fans who
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: are like, same old Kentucky, and then, boom, they go
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: on the road and they really handle it to A & M,
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: get a top-10 road win, which is hard to do.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: You were in attendance last weekend for the hottest game
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: in Vanderbilt history. Um, I had NC state plus three
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: and a half. It's still, I, I, I still can't
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: get over that with all that said, Jared Curtis made
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: his debut, at least as a starting quarterback. Now that
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: this game is kind of insignificant, but Vanderbilt goes to Auburn,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Auburn gets to see Jared Curtis. What did you think
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: about the true freshman?
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: He's really good.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: Um, you know, one of my favorite analogies when you're
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: playing a true freshman is he's going to make somebody's
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: band play.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: You just don't know which one.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: Um, So he has the ability to make NFL first-round
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: throws already. If you just step back and watch the
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: way the ball comes out of his hand, the laser
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: that he has, it's really, really impressive. And so he
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: makes that Vanderbilt offense capable. He's also big, physical. He
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: can run the football. If I were analogizing him and
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: you were saying, hey, what could he be one day
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: at the next level? He reminds me of Josh Allen
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: or Cam Newton, like just a really big dude who
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: can run over people. And, you know, he's 6'4, 225,
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: really good athlete as a true freshman. But he's got
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: that gunslinger mentality. And so it wouldn't stun me if
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: he throws a couple of interceptions on the road at Auburn.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: He threw the late interception. Honestly, LT, when they were
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: moving the ball pretty well, I know it came down
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: to that crazy play for Vanderbilt to recover the fumble
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: in the end zone after C.J.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Bailey got hit and choked.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: But I do think if you go back and you
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: look at the throws he made in the second half,
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: a lot of them were really impressive. And he was
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: trying to go for the big play there for the
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: touchdown when Vanderbilt basically had assured themselves of a tie,
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: and I think.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: If he just eats that one.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: Probably are going to find a way to drive down
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: and win that game. And we don't even get the
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: crazy ending that we ended up seeing. So I took
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: the over in this game. I think that Auburn's defense
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: looks really bad. Vanderbilt's defense has not looked very good either.
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: I think there's a decent chance of 24, 28 points.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: For each of these teams.
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: But I think if Vanderbilt's going to have any chance
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: to win, then it's going to come down to Jared
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: Curtis not turning the ball over.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: While you were waiting, we were talking about Devontae Adams
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: telling Kay Adams that he has the exclusive Taco Bell
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: purple card, unlimited free food from Taco Bell with Kevin Hart.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: If I asked you, would you want the purple card
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: from Taco Bell, the McDonald's gold card that Bill Gates
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and Warren Buffett and Rob Lowe have? Apparently Chipotle has
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: a celebrity card that Patrick Mahomes has. Which food would
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: you want that VIP food card? What chain would you
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: want the VIP food card from?
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Chick-fil-A. I mean, that's not even a tough call for me.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: I wonder if they do one.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: I would eat Chick-fil-A almost every meal.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: I absolutely love it.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: Now, the answer also is if somebody wants to spend
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: several million dollars in advertising, with Sporting State and become
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: the official fast food of Sporting State, I will immediately
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: demand that you guys delete all record of this.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: And I will claim that whatever.
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: Company is willing to spend millions of dollars with us
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: has always been my favorite fast food. But right now
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: we don't have that. So my answer would be Chick-fil-A.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: What about you guys?
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Chick-fil-A is a good one. I eat more Chick-fil-A than
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: I do anything else. Any of those.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: I will take the Taco Bell one. I love Taco Bell.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: You know, an In-N-Out is big in Nashville right now.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I like In-N-Out a lot.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah. So my boys love, um, love the, uh, raisin canes. Uh,
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: so we spend a lot of money at raisin canes.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: And then there is, um, that that's probably the top
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: two that we, we would probably purchase most frequently. Uh,
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: McDonald's is a standby regular, and you can argue, you know,
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: you're getting more value at McDonald's cause you got the
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: breakfast opportunities too. Although the Chick-fil-A chicken biscuit, I think
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: is one of the best in the hash brown. So, uh,
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: Chick-fil-A to me is not even a close call. I
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: would immediately go Chick-fil-A.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: We did a live show at Talladega Super Speedway a
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: number of years ago, and Jamie McMurray was driving the
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: McDonald's car then, and he had one of those cars.
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: He showed it to us. He showed us his card
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: that was the unlimited.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: Here's my question.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: Is every register at McDonald's capable of reading.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: The gold card? That's what we ask about. We ask
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: about the purple card because Tyler used to work at
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Taco Bell, and we're like, there's no way a Taco
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Bell employee knows what that is.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right.
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, for somebody who is as famous as Kevin Hart,
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: they might just assume, okay, well, that makes sense.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: But I don't know. I mean, for a lot of
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: guys who might walk in, are they instructed?
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: Is every fast food worker aware that there's a one
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: in 10,000 chance.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: That on any given day, one of the 50 people
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: who has those cards might come in?
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: And by the way, I think Patrick Mahomes and Kevin Hart,
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: I think they can afford the $ 30 for their.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: Meal, right?
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: It actually seems- It actually seems like kind of a
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: dick move for Devante Adams, who's got a $ 50 million contract.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Same way with Gates and Buffett.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Gates and Buffett, they can afford a Happy Meal at McDonald's.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: Wouldn't you think a little bit like, well, that's kind
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: of a dick move. Warren Buffett won't even pay $ 1. 50
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: for his french fries, his apple pie.
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: He's big-timing us and making us run it.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Do you have time for one AI question?
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, sure.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Have you seen the documentary on Netflix that came out
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: last week, two weeks ago?
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: If it's not a sporting, if it's not a game,
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: I see nothing on documentaries during football season.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: So no, I haven't seen anything.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Well, it's worth the watch. But with all that said,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Elon Musk is kind of part of it. And I
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: saw a post yesterday where he's predicting within the next
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: 10 years that we won't work, that we'll get a
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: government stipend. And my question is, Like, he's saying that
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: everybody's going to have money, but, like, what is a
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: purpose in life? Like, what are we doing if, in fact,
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: this is the direction we're heading where people don't have
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: to work and they're just getting a stipend?
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I'm optimistic about AI in general. It's not
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: going to shock you guys. I tend to be an optimist. Like,
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: I don't sit around, you know, wallowing in fear and
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: self-doubt and loathing and.
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: All those things.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: But.
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: What I am concerned about is all three of you
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: are dads.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: I am a dad.
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: Speaking for men in general, I think it's hard for
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: men to be the best version of themselves if we
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: aren't providing for something other than ourselves.
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: Like I think men, there's a reason why when men
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: have jobs, they're more reliable. Married men with kids are
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: the most reliable employees. You need to be having a
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: job to pay a mortgage, to be responsible for your family,
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: everything else. To me, I don't know how many people
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: are going to be the best version of themselves if
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: they aren't working. Um, And look, I understand people say, oh,
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: I want to win the lottery.
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: I don't want to work. I mean, I feel like
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: I've won the lottery when I sold out kick five
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: years ago.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: I love my jobs. I don't want to wake up
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: every day. I understand some people may want to do this.
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't want to wake up every day and have
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: no responsibilities and no obligations. Maybe when I get older,
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: maybe I will want to retire and have that be
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: the lifestyle that I pursue. But I do worry about
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: just where we go as a society. when or if people,
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: men in particular, I mean, I think one reason that
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: young people have struggled so much is the global population
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: is collapsing, right? Like back in the day, you guys
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: remember when we were younger, they would tell us, oh,
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: the population is growing so fast. We're not going to
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: be able to feed everybody. China's population has peaked. The
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: United States population may well have peaked. Over the course
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: of this century, we're on track to to lose maybe
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: a couple of billion people from Earth. In other words,
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: we're on the downward slope over time. At some point,
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: we're gonna start to decline as a global population. I
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: think kids are good. I think having them and raising
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: them and the family structure and the unit is important.
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: And I think purpose-driven lives are more effective and efficient
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: and successful for most men and women than a only
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: hedonistic lifestyle. So that's my big concern. If you ask, hey,
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: what are people going to do? I don't think Elon's right.
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: He's a genius on a lot of things. I would
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: take the over on how many jobs there are going
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: to be in 10 years.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: If a billionaire are going to disappear, I wish we
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: could make some nominations. I don't know if they're taking nominations,
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: but I've got a few. I wouldn't want to be.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: I don't want to You don't want to do it?
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: I don't want to do that.
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: I'll be controversial. I'll put Lindsey Clancy at the top
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: of my list.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: There we go. All right.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Here's Clay Travis. Enjoy Tennessee and Texas, Clay.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Will do.
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: See y'all.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: All right, man. Have a great weekend.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Clay Travis with us on Sporting State.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I love it when Clay says he's an optimist.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I've got a poster I've got hanging in my house here.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Forrester's about to show us that. Because Clay is an optimist.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: So I keep this poster hanging. by my bed that
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I see every morning when I wake up because I
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: want Clay's optimism to shine over my day.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: To permeate your life, yes. Every day I.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Wake up and I wake up, I put my feet
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: on the ground, I'm thankful, then I look over and
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: then I see this amazing poster of Clay.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: That I have on my wall.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: And before we do XXXY, it looks something like, I'm
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: trying to time it out, I just sent it to Forrester.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: It's Clay and that cat, that cat body. Just hang
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: in there every day.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Hang in there.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: That's my Clay Travis optimism poster I have hanging there

• 42:55
  Speaker 2: laughing at?
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: The cat head.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: She was a champion gymnast. She was Levi's brand president.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Headlines for tomorrow. She walked away from that corporate job
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: rather than say something she did not believe in. And
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: when she walked away, she started XXXY Athletics instead. Their mission,

• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Really interesting.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Ranked games inside one league this week. Four top 25
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: matchups within the SEC. One of them is Kirby Smart's
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Georgia team playing host No, actually, this isn't one of them.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: This is Kirby Smart's Georgia team playing Oklahoma, who's no
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: longer ranked, right?
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: So this could be, outside of four top 25 matchups,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: this could be upset alert for the Georgia Bulldogs.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: Here's Kirby. When you guys are going into a game
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: like this, what's kind of the expectation?
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: What's the message to your team when you go into
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: this type of matchup?
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: It's not a different matchup than we have every week.
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: Every week in the SEC is intense, tough, physical, line
• 46:44
  Speaker 8: of scrimmage. That's not any disregard to Oklahoma. They've got
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: a tremendous team, but we've got eight of those in
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: a row. I'm worried about us, and I'm worried about
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: how we prepare, and I'm worried about what we can
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: do to make our team better. What allows you to
• 47:02
  Speaker 8: have consistency in performance and that maybe is unmatched. What
• 47:07
  Speaker 8: can we do better than the opponent and get our
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: players in a better position to be successful, whether it's
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: what we show them, whether it's what we.
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: Teach them, whether it's how we do things.
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: You're constantly looking for a better way, and when you
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: look across college football, it's going to be one of
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: those kind of years because there's a lot of parity
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: out there.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Most likely home team to lose this weekend. Most people
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: would say Tennessee.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: A lot of people say Florida.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: To number one, Texas. Yeah. A lot of people say Florida.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss is obviously a very popular pick here. But
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: after Tennessee against Texas. Oh, it's in play for every
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: SEC team this week.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: For the conference games.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Not South Alabama, Kentucky. Well, that's a tricky game. That'll
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: be closer than most people think.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: If you're going to lose it at a conference, Tulsa
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: winning it. Now, Tulsa, the Brown Bandit was going to
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: be on Tulsa this week, but their quarterback is... I
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: don't know what he is on the most recent report,
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: but he's been doubtful.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: I get it, but Arkansas has been outscored by 71
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: points their last two games. Tulsa already has a win
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: over Oklahoma State.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: But to your point of just take Tulsa and South
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Alabama off.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Tennessee, Texas. Texas at Tennessee.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: You expect Texas to win. Yeah, it's kind of a
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: coin flip.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Florida, you think Georgia?
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: I like Florida, but that's a coin flip. I mean, yeah,
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: Georgia wins that game nine out of ten times, but
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma's defense is good enough to keep them right there.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: I think Auburn has both hands full. Auburn and Alabama
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: both in question this weekend. Most people would say no.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: LSU in question. Mississippi State in question.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Other than Texas at Tennessee, which one is the second
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: one that is the most in question in your opinion, Brown,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: you go first.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Vanderbilt at Auburn.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Auburn for you.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just think Auburn... One thing they
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: struggle to do is protect the quarterback. And what does
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Vanderbilt do all the time?
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: They're known for having a very, what's the word people
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: use when it's really unique? Exotic is the word I'm
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: looking for.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: Pass rush.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: But one thing, and Lance, I know because you had
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: NC State, one thing they like to do is line
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: up and blitz. They put a lot of faith in
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: their defensive backs. I mean, Clark Lee's like, our DBs
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: are going to have to win. the man-to-man because we're
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: going to send the house.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: Auburn is struggling with that. They've got 12 sacks right now.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: That's fourth in the FBS.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: You combine with what Vanderbilt's doing attacking the quarterback to
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: what Auburn is giving up on that offensive line. That's
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: a bad matchup. It is a bad matchup. What's number
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: two for you? Probably Ole Miss, Florida. Just because Trinidad
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: just continues to make plays and Pete Golding doesn't lose
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: against ranked teams. That one's kind of easy, but if
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: I got away from that, I mean, South Carolina-Bama? Yeah.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: Just because of the way South Carolina has played Alabama
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: the last two years.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: You go two years ago, right here in Bryant-Denny Stadium,
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: Alabama had the game in hand. They let off the gas.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: And South Carolina kept chipping away, chipping away, chipping away,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: and you turn around and South Carolina's got a Hail
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Mary to win the game.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not really a Hail Mary. They had ball and
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: ham for enough time to do a little bit of
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: a drive.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was more of an offensive play than a
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Hail Mary, but a play at zeroes to win the game.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Then last year, Alabama was dead to rights in Columbia.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: How they pulled that game out is amazing. They had
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: to thread a needle to win that game. Yeah, how
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: they pulled that one out last year was incredible. They
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: were dead to rights in Columbia. But Alabama's won both
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: of them. But it has been a very, very difficult out.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got a now desperate South Carolina team
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: coming off a loss with some talented players on there.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: I just think it's a fascinating weekend in the SEC.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: And Kirby thinks it'll be this way every week. And
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: maybe it is going to be this way every week.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think another really interesting game is Missouri at
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State because I think Mississippi State fans, at least
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: talking to a couple, they already believe they're going to
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: win this game and it's going to be undefeated Mississippi
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: State in Alabama next weekend. And I would say not
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: so fast because I do think Missouri and Austin Simmons,
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: the way he is playing right now, I think it
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: could be a really good matchup. And Camario hadn't had
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: that down moment and maybe he doesn't. I mean, maybe
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: this really becomes Cam Newton-like where he just gets better
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: and better.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: We hit on it. Earlier with the schedules. But if
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Florida and Missouri wins, you know where Florida goes next week, right?
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: They go to Como.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: To Como?
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So you've got undefeated Florida, undefeated Missouri if both
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: of them win these two games Saturday.
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a sneaky big game in the SEC.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: Did you ever think Missouri and Florida in week five
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: would have any sort of meaning? And all of a sudden,
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: that could happen. potentially be two undefeated teams playing week
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: five in Como.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Brown, in our final 40 seconds here, pull up the
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: NFL schedule this weekend. Do we have any games on
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Sunday in the northeastern part of the country? Because that
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: nor'easter I told you about yesterday, really going to hit
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Saturday into Sunday, so much so that Major League Baseball
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: has changed the Cubs and Red Sox, making them play
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: a doubleheader on Friday so they don't have to deal
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: with that on Sunday.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Any games in the Northeast? You've got Chargers at Bills.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: The Chargers desperately need a win in that one. Oh,
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: my goodness.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Wet ball game for Justin Herbert in Buffalo.
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: Is it going to mess with D.C.? Is it going
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: to be north of D.C.? I don't know if it's
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: that far down. You've got Titans at Giants. The last
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: thing either one of those teams needs is crappy weather,
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: the way they're playing right now. That's really it.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: So the NFL dodging a bullet on some rain games,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: but a tough one for L.A., the Chargers in Buffalo
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: if it's raining. That's it for Sporting State. The next
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: round continues in a moment.
