  Welcome back to another edition of the Justin Time podcast.
• 0:10
  I'm your host Justin, and got will here with.
• 0:12
  Us the guy. Always a pleasure.
• 0:14
  Once again, always a pleasure. You've been knocking them back
• 0:17
  lately, brother. Yeah, we have on the table.
• 0:20
  I'll let y'all know, I set a New Year's resolution goal for this
• 0:24
  podcast to hit 46 episodes and in season 2 alone this is going
• 0:32
  to be the 35th. Like, you know, one thing I
• 0:36
  appreciate about Justin, guys, just like, you know, just
• 0:39
  visionary for this brand. You know, you've been thinking
• 0:41
  about this for quite some time. We had a great time with it last
• 0:44
  year. Really baseball season was well,
• 0:46
  first of all, we go back and take it back real quick to last
• 0:49
  summer. We was talking about Skid
• 0:50
  Burton's book. So it was just a book about Skid
• 0:53
  Burton, but just started from there.
• 0:55
  Talk about our high school days. They really got in the football.
• 0:59
  We really kicked in another gear with baseball seasons, you know,
• 1:02
  with the polls and stuff like that.
• 1:03
  So posting on Reddit, you know, just but we've been on the tear
• 1:07
  this summer. Not the brag, but we've been on
• 1:09
  the tear. Just trying to get the pre this
• 1:11
  early predictions out. Like I said, you know, take it,
• 1:14
  take it with like a grain of salt with the the predictions
• 1:17
  because I mean, there's only so much you can know in the summer,
• 1:20
  But you know, we've been trying to get you guys content.
• 1:22
  Yeah. Look, we're going in with that
• 1:24
  winners, that winners mindset. If everybody can't say this.
• 1:29
  You know, we don't have the loser mentality.
• 1:33
  Losing mentality is some of these.
• 1:35
  Everybody can't relate the grief.
• 1:37
  You know these Razorbacks? These Razorbacks have.
• 1:41
  Woo pig. Suey woo pig.
• 1:45
  The. Loser mentality The amount of
• 1:48
  the amount of emotional damage these people have felt.
• 1:51
  Over the years, it hurt. It's a long every like, it's not
• 1:58
  just football, it's along the whole athletics department that
• 2:02
  they get crushed every seat, every seems like every year.
• 2:05
  Yeah, it's it's so like I, I feel for the because it's like,
• 2:08
  bro, that nothing, you know, we talk about like a couple of
• 2:11
  examples I bring up with the the football program in the 2006
• 2:15
  season, 2011 season, 2006, they had an all like a like a
• 2:19
  gauntlet of schedule. They play in USC or your
• 2:21
  movement when they went to the national championship, they
• 2:24
  played LSU, they played LSU Florida and the conference NSC
• 2:27
  title game was for the one that O six title.
• 2:30
  You know they, they went tenant for that year because they lost
• 2:33
  in the bowl game to 2011 Arkansas.
• 2:36
  That was like the best Arkansas team I've ever I've ever seen.
• 2:40
  But they went tenant. They went 11 and two that year.
• 2:43
  2 losses came to versus Bama and LSU on the road at Arkansas was
• 2:49
  #3 in the country that year when they came to us in the final
• 2:52
  game of the season. Yeah, look, the 2007 season.
• 2:58
  Yeah, epic game. They gave their fans hope.
• 3:02
  They came to Death Valley, they beat the would be national
• 3:05
  champions. Yes.
• 3:07
  And I walked out of there and I just remember this guy saying,
• 3:10
  well, I can sell my Sugar Bowl tickets.
• 3:13
  And I think he immediately regretted it.
• 3:15
  You said. You know so and I saw something
• 3:22
  earlier before we do Speaking of media week, they announced some
• 3:29
  rule changes. One significant is the targeting
• 3:33
  penalty for your first offense. You just disqualified for the
• 3:39
  rest of the game, but no more sitting out for the first half
• 3:43
  of the next game. Now, if they actually called
• 3:47
  this on some certain people, you know, like AL that like
• 3:51
  elephants and have Crimson as their color, this is where it
• 3:57
  gets iffy for you because second offense is disqualified for the
• 4:01
  rest of the current game plus the first half of the next game.
• 4:06
  And I think that goes for doesn't matter if it's like the
• 4:09
  first half. I think it's at any point in the
• 4:11
  game if you get called for targeting as your second time.
• 4:16
  Yeah, it's a one year. I mean, not a one year A1 game
• 4:20
  suspension rules. You're out for the rest of that
• 4:22
  game and then you serve the first half of the next game.
• 4:26
  Yeah, that's right. Regardless of when it happens,
• 4:29
  then the third and more offense is you disqualify for the rest
• 4:33
  of the current game plus one full game suspension following
• 4:36
  the game. That's going to be huge.
• 4:39
  I'm with you there, man. Just you crack it down on the
• 4:42
  safety continuously. The the the thing that we always
• 4:45
  get tricky with this, it's like, is it intentional?
• 4:47
  Like you know the 10 of the person you know?
• 4:50
  I know I know more hints and vicious than others, but like
• 4:54
  sometimes you just try to make a a great play on the ball and the
• 4:57
  body just contours in a different way.
• 5:00
  That's what it's tricky. Here's my issue with it.
• 5:03
  OK. Yeah.
• 5:06
  It's the lack of consistency across the board.
• 5:08
  This is. What is targeting and what is
• 5:12
  not? It's it's always the like that's
• 5:14
  the all it, it's always going to come back to it.
• 5:17
  You could make the rules. I mean, you, you have a more
• 5:19
  structure with the rules is great, but just it's always
• 5:22
  going to come back to the to the the consistency.
• 5:24
  That's the. That's the bottom line.
• 5:26
  And to me, I think what the NCAA needs to do with this, I know
• 5:31
  we're looking at this. This is just to know it's a
• 5:33
  whole thing. I read it right.
• 5:34
  Yeah, it's all NCAA approves changes to targeting suspension
• 5:38
  in one year trial. So it's a one year trial.
• 5:41
  The rules on targeting can't be up to officiating.
• 5:45
  In the officials interpretation of the rule, it needs to be a
• 5:48
  clear black and white. You lower the crown of your
• 5:51
  helmet and you hit a guy and you launch automatic.
• 5:56
  Automatic. I'm good with going to video
• 6:01
  review on some of those Bang Bang plays where intent isn't
• 6:05
  clear. And I am good with it being an
• 6:09
  unnecessary roughness penalty, right?
• 6:13
  But if it's clear intent and it is clear lunging and your head,
• 6:19
  your body is parallel, when you go to hit that and your head is
• 6:23
  down like this and you can see this.
• 6:25
  Yeah. That should be targeting every
• 6:27
  single time. I don't care.
• 6:29
  You know, and the problem with the rule is you have officiate
• 6:34
  officials and officiating who I bring up the hit from a couple
• 6:41
  of years ago on Jaden Daniels from Alabama where it was a no
• 6:44
  call. You know, the one where they
• 6:47
  gave the kid a concussion. That was clear targeting.
• 6:51
  No flag was thrown. It was up to officiating crews,
• 6:55
  who were probably all born in Alabama and Alabama fans up to
• 6:59
  that officiating crew to determine if that was targeting
• 7:02
  or not. When?
• 7:04
  Not to mention that kid just had a history of being a dirty
• 7:07
  player. And I'm like, I'm good you, but
• 7:09
  that's another thing because I like the NFL with Montez
• 7:12
  Burfict, like he had a bad reputation, but just like that's
• 7:15
  just the NFL example, but just going to college like he's just
• 7:18
  that's another thing you got to watch out for because like, and
• 7:22
  that's and that's the the positive.
• 7:23
  I think one of the positive with like the a more structural rule
• 7:27
  adjustment because like you cracked down on the fools,
• 7:29
  there's from the guys who may have the ill intentions and just
• 7:33
  who like you got it. You have to lay down the law in
• 7:35
  some fashion. Yeah, and look, I'm not picking
• 7:39
  on the kid because he's an Alabama player.
• 7:43
  I'm picking on him specifically because after that hit came out
• 7:47
  against Jayden Daniels, there was a video montage of five
• 7:51
  other plays against five different teams where he went
• 7:56
  after the quarterback and he took the dudes head by the face
• 7:58
  mask and the helmet was like this on the kids head, you know,
• 8:05
  or late, blatant, late hits on him, you know, it was just
• 8:10
  blatant to me. He was a dirty player, you know,
• 8:13
  but officiating, they didn't see it as targeting, so they didn't
• 8:17
  call it, you know, if you have a black and white targeting rule
• 8:22
  because that's where they're going to get in trouble with
• 8:23
  this year long trial. Yeah, you're going.
• 8:27
  To have a kid who's been clean all season and goes down the
• 8:31
  field and puts a hit on somebody and either is in a rough spot
• 8:35
  with body angle and stuff. And those officials are going to
• 8:38
  call in for targeting. It's going to go to review,
• 8:41
  They're going to uphold it. And then that kids going to have
• 8:43
  to sit out, you know? Yeah.
• 8:44
  But that's all it come down to interpretation and it considers
• 8:48
  to that's that's what the bottom line is always going to be.
• 8:53
  Yeah, no, you have put something else as well.
• 8:57
  Yeah, so this isn't really a big one, but offensive pass
• 9:02
  interference is just going to match the NFL rules, is not
• 9:06
  going to be 15 yards anymore, It's going to be a 10 yard
• 9:08
  penalty. I know what was interesting when
• 9:10
  you put it, you know the review process.
• 9:12
  The conferences can initiate an appeal for a second targeting
• 9:15
  penalty to the national coordinator of officials via
• 9:18
  video review. Now the thing, the key phrasing
• 9:22
  that for me is conferences. One thing I always looked at
• 9:24
  with NCAA, it's like brother, like you need to be the
• 9:27
  governing body for every league. Exactly.
• 9:30
  So just like with SCT doing one thing, this is a penalty like a
• 9:35
  tonic penalty for this conference, but that that
• 9:38
  conference is a season tonic. I think that happened to us
• 9:40
  years ago with Brad Wing against Florida where he had he had
• 9:43
  taunted, but like they call it back and they're like at another
• 9:46
  conference that that week or so later or maybe the same week, it
• 9:49
  was like it was fine. It's just.
• 9:51
  I'll bring up a more recent one. You know, in that conference
• 9:55
  that will remain unnamed, where Texas and Oklahoma held from.
• 10:00
  This used to be a penalty. Yes.
• 10:03
  And when Texas joined the SEC, you know, the Superior
• 10:08
  conference, Yeah. Come on now.
• 10:12
  They got mad when the first SEC game a big play got put on and
• 10:18
  they were running. The players for the other team
• 10:20
  were running around. Now that up and down the
• 10:22
  sideline going like this too, and they pitched a fit.
• 10:26
  That shouldn't be a penalty. They should be a penalty.
• 10:29
  Dude, this is the SEC. If you can't handle it, go go
• 10:32
  back to where you came from. Yeah, like just I don't even
• 10:34
  think that's derogatory or, you know, just inflammatory, like
• 10:38
  the horns down thing. Like I mean, even if LSU had a
• 10:40
  symbol like that, I don't care if you flip it around like that
• 10:44
  doesn't bother me just because that's just.
• 10:46
  There's far more severe stuff like you had just said with the
• 10:49
  target, there's far more severe stuff throwing trash onto the
• 10:52
  field. Like brother, let's forget the
• 10:54
  play. Like you talk about safety and
• 10:56
  if. You're a team.
• 10:57
  If you're a football team has to put a net around your whole
• 11:01
  stadium, you've got far bigger problems than somebody go out
• 11:05
  like this. Exactly.
• 11:07
  I mean. But you know, we did an episode
• 11:10
  on Texas already. We're back to that loser men,
• 11:13
  the loser mentality as Coach Silverfield.
• 11:16
  Put it to rid. Rid themselves of it, maybe.
• 11:19
  Yeah. He wants to seek to reverse
• 11:21
  Arkansas's losing mentality. You know, and I've got to.
• 11:25
  I'll give it to him. Yeah.
• 11:28
  Yeah. The football program has been
• 11:29
  circling the can for a long time.
• 11:32
  Yeah. But last year, what just, you
• 11:37
  know, it kind of irked me with all of these coaching changes.
• 11:41
  I don't think Pittman was a bad coach.
• 11:42
  Yeah, I don't either. And I think he loved the
• 11:44
  University of Arkansas. But when you fireman, you don't
• 11:49
  go in the firing press conference and say we didn't
• 11:53
  give him enough resources to succeed.
• 11:55
  That is, that was so detrimental.
• 11:58
  I remembered last. I'm like, brother, you mean to
• 12:01
  tell me you were a state that features Walmart and Tyson?
• 12:04
  Chicken and you are the first one, not only Walmart, but you
• 12:08
  are the first one to slap Walmart sponsorship on your
• 12:11
  field as soon as the ink dried on that.
• 12:12
  Contract they're from Walmart is both raised in Arkansas.
• 12:15
  Yeah, there's no excuse. To you Arkansas as soon as the
• 12:19
  ink drive on sponsorships being able to be put on the field in
• 12:24
  the patches on the jerk players jersey as soon as the ink before
• 12:28
  the ink even dried, Arkansas was the first one to have Walmart on
• 12:33
  New Jersey. 'S stadium.
• 12:36
  The stadium and you're going to sit there and say that your
• 12:39
  coach, your pass coach, didn't succeed because you didn't give
• 12:42
  him enough resources. But what do you mean you didn't
• 12:46
  give me enough resources? That's the part that that's the
• 12:48
  part of college sports. Yeah, like how do you not give
• 12:52
  him enough resources? You know, I was looking at this
• 12:55
  article, you know, from July 23rd, Coach Ryan Silverfield was
• 12:58
  heading to the introduction news conference in Arkansas when he
• 13:01
  asked a simple question. Can we turn some lights on?
• 13:05
  The surprising answer, Silverville, Silverville said
• 13:08
  was they are on. So from dark dank hallways to a
• 13:13
  way room, they hadn't got any new dumbbells in three decades.
• 13:16
  Think about bro, did you just hear from dark dank hallways to
• 13:20
  a weight room that hadn't gotten new dumbbells in nearly 3
• 13:24
  decades? That is inexcusable.
• 13:27
  That is almost as old as we are. They're using 90s equipment and
• 13:32
  playing 90s ball in 2026. But you but you won't be taking
• 13:37
  seriously. I can't take you seriously.
• 13:39
  I'm sorry. Good.
• 13:42
  I just I just read. I said my gosh, that is.
• 13:45
  That is, they should be ashamed of themselves.
• 13:47
  They should be, but, and you're going to actually say that while
• 13:50
  you're firing the man? We didn't give him the resources
• 13:52
  he needed to succeed. So how do you expect to hire
• 13:55
  coaches moving forward? Yeah, now wonder your whole
• 13:58
  athletic department has just been one emotional damage.
• 14:01
  I bet the therapy bills in Arkansas through the roof.
• 14:06
  I mean, thank, thank God they have a I mean, now they've been
• 14:08
  historic possessor with basketball, not to the level of
• 14:11
  many other schools, but they won a national championship in
• 14:13
  basketball in the 90s and another Richardson.
• 14:15
  But their their prize position right now is really the baseball
• 14:17
  program. That's their, that's their,
• 14:19
  that's their, that's their golden egg.
• 14:22
  And they haven't crossed that finish line yet.
• 14:26
  Yes, unfortunately not for them. They were, unfortunately a wide
• 14:30
  ball. Yeah, that's I'd be sick.
• 14:33
  There away from winning it in 18, but you know, they choke.
• 14:38
  You know, we're talking about football now and let's close
• 14:42
  this thing out with them on their prediction.
• 14:47
  So North Alabama at 3:15 on September 5th, I'm going to give
• 14:52
  them a win. You know you want to get rid of
• 14:54
  the losing mentality in Arkansas.
• 14:57
  The 915 game at Utah in the 12th is a huge first step.
• 15:02
  Yes, big time. You know, so I'll be generous
• 15:07
  and give you a win at Utah. The The thing is like I was that
• 15:12
  going to Utah is a tough matchup for anybody we've seen the last
• 15:15
  couple years. But the only reason I'm going to
• 15:17
  give Arkansas the win today is because, you know, Kyle Windham
• 15:21
  is no longer the coach there. So they got a new coach.
• 15:23
  So like, I'm not sure their roster.
• 15:25
  So for the Utah fans, you know, our apology, My apologies, but
• 15:29
  just only because it's a late start, granted, but only because
• 15:34
  you have a new coaching staff. Tulina.
• 15:37
  So I'll go 2 and one because they're going to get beat by
• 15:40
  Georgia at 11. AM they will.
• 15:42
  I'll give them the win at versus Tulsa. 3:00 and 1:00.
• 15:47
  Go 3 and two Texas AM, you know. Yep, three and three versus
• 15:52
  Tennessee. 3:00 and 3:00. Four and three versus Bandy.
• 15:58
  Give him a. Win might go might go 3 and 4.
• 16:03
  Well, I was going to even it out four and four at Missouri versus
• 16:07
  Missouri. OK.
• 16:10
  With me to a four or four in Missouri to even out, yeah.
• 16:13
  Five and four versus Auburn. Yeah. 5:00 and 4:00.
• 16:17
  I might be contradicting myself for that.
• 16:19
  I don't remember what I said for the Auburn prediction.
• 16:21
  Me neither. Well, that is prediction. 5:00
• 16:25
  and 5:00. South Carolina.
• 16:28
  South Carolina Yep, 5 and 6 versus Texas and five and seven
• 16:33
  LSU and. Which totally, totally in
• 16:36
  agreement with you. 5 or 7, I think that's even then that's
• 16:41
  like kind of pushing it. Yeah, like it's a tough
• 16:44
  congressman. I'm I'm looking at, you know,
• 16:46
  just our all time record against Arkestra is one of our more
• 16:50
  comfortable victories, coverable series.
• 16:52
  We lead the all time series 44 to 24 to 2 and you know, 2 has
• 16:57
  been vacated, but we are on the current 4 game-winning streak.
• 17:00
  Yeah. So I think the last time we lost
• 17:03
  was 20/21 at 2020. Let me.
• 17:06
  Yeah, I think so. Let me pull up the full games
• 17:09
  list. So the last time they beat us
• 17:12
  was in 20/21/16 to 13. Yeah, that was nuts.
• 17:15
  His first official start as a tiger.
• 17:18
  By 21, yeah. What time?
• 17:21
  They gave us a huge run for bars, careless first year in
• 17:24
  2022. We did, we we skated out there.
• 17:27
  But when it was a cold game. But I.
• 17:29
  Came off an emotional game. Yeah, that was an emotional trap
• 17:32
  game after the win at Alabama. And if it wasn't been for
• 17:36
  Harold? Perkins, but he's saving the
• 17:38
  day. Yeah, freshman saving the day.
• 17:41
  That's where the legend, the myth in the legend started for
• 17:44
  him. Then he got hurt and it just
• 17:47
  was. They never put him in the right
• 17:48
  spot. And then like going to 2023, I
• 17:51
  remember going to that game that was Jayden Daniels High of the
• 17:54
  year. Of course, I remember going to
• 17:55
  that game still early in the year and people with they had US
• 17:59
  winning by 18 points. I said you got to be kid.
• 18:02
  That is so steep. I don't care how bad they are.
• 18:06
  It's like, listen, I said going to the game, it's going to be a
• 18:09
  single digit game is going to be coming out to the final
• 18:12
  possession, which it did. And like I said, they're going
• 18:14
  to. If we were going to win by
• 18:15
  double digits, it'll be 10, maybe 12 points, which I didn't
• 18:19
  expect at all out there. It's going to be A1 possession
• 18:20
  game. We go in by the final
• 18:22
  possession, which we did. Yeah.
• 18:24
  And I mean, just looking at it, you know, from it's been weird
• 18:29
  the last couple of years to say, oh, Arkansas is in the early
• 18:34
  part of the season because growing up it was always Black
• 18:38
  Friday. Yeah, yeah, it's been different
• 18:41
  the last. Game of the season, you know,
• 18:42
  you look for who's our new coach, you know, and it was
• 18:46
  always the Arkansas game and times before, you know, we
• 18:52
  played Arkansas and then we decided you got the announcement
• 18:55
  on who was the head coach. It's good to have them back at
• 18:59
  the last game of the season, yeah, but I don't have much more
• 19:04
  to say about Arkansas. Do you?
• 19:07
  Yeah, I'm good, pretty much. I was going to say just like,
• 19:10
  you know, I know many LSU fans don't give the credit or no
• 19:14
  recognize as a rivalry. I always feel like it is a
• 19:17
  rivalry because I always say if your game, if your annual
• 19:20
  opponent has both a name and a trophy, it's thing to say that
• 19:25
  you're a rival. Yeah, I'm not saying it's our
• 19:27
  most highest profile, iconic rival, but it's you have a name,
• 19:31
  Battle of the Golden Boot, you have a name and a trophy.
• 19:34
  Yeah. And I will say it's.
• 19:35
  Famous to you? I will say this, it is good to
• 19:38
  finish the year with a team that we have a trophy for.
• 19:42
  Yes, that makes that's a great point.
• 19:44
  But with them adding Tulane on the schedule for a home and home
• 19:49
  in upcoming seasons, yeah, I wouldn't mind if we played
• 19:54
  canceled out one of those little rental win teams at the
• 19:57
  beginning of the season. And went back to playing Tulane
• 20:03
  every year for Thanksgiving. Yeah, that makes sense for that.
• 20:09
  I think that'll just be a, you know, more of a rivalry, more of
• 20:15
  a historical big game. You know, just look at the
• 20:20
  crowds when you play like a team like Southern, which is coming
• 20:24
  up and I'm dreading that game. I'm going to take an Uber to
• 20:26
  that game because I remember the first time we played them in
• 20:30
  Tiger Stadium, it was like getting out for the guard.
• 20:34
  It took me longer to get home from the Southern LSU football
• 20:36
  game that it did for me to get home from the Garth Brooks
• 20:40
  concert the year before. Oh.
• 20:41
  My gosh, yes. Yeah.
• 20:45
  That's like especially when it's blowouts, you just got to get
• 20:47
  out in about third quarter. Sad thing is I left in the third
• 20:50
  quarter in the traffic was still so bad because the game was so
• 20:54
  bad. Everybody was leaving at the
• 20:55
  same time. Yeah.
• 20:57
