- 0:54Speaker 4: Would you interview a Florida Gator player?
- 0:58Speaker 3: Yeah? I just sit there and I don't know, bark
- 1:02Speaker 3: at him or something.
- 1:02Speaker 4: I know, you Georgia bulldog mind barking at people. I
- 1:07Speaker 4: don't know what are we doing here? Tiger growl at him?
- 1:11Speaker 3: There you go, Yeah, dude, whatever, let's do it. Uh.
- 1:15Speaker 4: So get billiam h scare money to do'll mic money
- 1:20Speaker 4: Billy Knightier. I did feel like when Blake Shapin was
- 1:25Speaker 4: telling his favorite evangel moment and he was talking about
- 1:31Speaker 4: lee By Lewis, a quarterback, and he's like, yeah, you
- 1:33Speaker 4: remember him or not? I went to say I was
- 1:35Speaker 4: talking to you. I was like, yeah, he's from U
- 1:37Speaker 4: L L and he said U L and I added
- 1:39Speaker 4: the extra L.
- 1:39Speaker 3: I was like, oh man, I'm gonna catch some heat
- 1:41Speaker 3: for that. Huh. I don't understand that. Why do you
- 1:44Speaker 3: catch heat for it? Some people are very particular about it.
- 1:47Speaker 3: I get it, but like that's just the way, you know,
- 1:50Speaker 3: that's what I So what I did for changing your initials,
- 1:56Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:59Speaker 2: So you're a U L.
- 2:01Speaker 5: I mean I think that's what I go to like automatically.
- 2:03Speaker 5: Then I kind of self correct myself. But like if
- 2:06Speaker 5: I'm just talking fast, which I do do a lot,
- 2:09Speaker 5: and just you catch me on the.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Spur Bro Bible slash bread Bro Bible slash bread coming up.
- 2:15Speaker 4: As we mentioned, so it is Alabama Missippi State, and
- 2:18Speaker 4: of course you've already heard from Mississippi State's quarterback.
- 2:21Speaker 3: And head coach Kaylen de Boor.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Look, he's walking around right now, and he's got like
- 2:25Speaker 4: a pretty decent sized groove following him. I mean, nowhere
- 2:29Speaker 4: obviously near what Coach Saban used to have, like that
- 2:31Speaker 4: you told me about, like arch Manning and the crowd that
- 2:33Speaker 4: he used to have, like that used to be I
- 2:35Speaker 4: can imagine that used to be Coach Saban. But Kaitlyn Boor,
- 2:38Speaker 4: it's an interesting deal because it didn't fall off a cliff.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Last year they were nine and three, but at Alabama
- 2:44Speaker 4: they were nine and three, and so a lot of
- 2:46Speaker 4: people are like, all right, coach, all right, coach, as
- 2:48Speaker 4: you're one years back to the title.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Okay, but I went nine to three first year, like
- 2:53Speaker 5: brand new program.
- 2:55Speaker 3: Think you we talked about you.
- 2:57Speaker 5: Just brought it up at like Archeza's unfair expectations set
- 3:00Speaker 5: on him. Of course, Kaylen de bor has the same
- 3:05Speaker 5: type of unfair expectations on him. You follow a legend
- 3:07Speaker 5: like that, I mean, you know what you're getting yourself
- 3:09Speaker 5: into when you take the job on the heels of
- 3:12Speaker 5: Nick Saban retiring. But there's nothing in Kaylen de Boor's
- 3:17Speaker 5: history that says he's not gonna get it turned around
- 3:19Speaker 5: and be competitive and try to at least be dangerous
- 3:23Speaker 5: and in the mix every single year. Now, I don't
- 3:25Speaker 5: think we'll ever see a run that that like Nick
- 3:28Speaker 5: Saban had. I just don't think that is possible in
- 3:31Speaker 5: this new NIL world. I think it's created that has
- 3:34Speaker 5: created so much parody in the in the sport of
- 3:37Speaker 5: college football. And you know, when when it first started,
- 3:40Speaker 5: everybody's like, oh man, this is gonna make It's gonna
- 3:42Speaker 5: make such a top heavy like only the big boys
- 3:44Speaker 5: can afford to go pay these players.
- 3:46Speaker 3: It's going to be top heavy.
- 3:47Speaker 5: We're gonna have, you know, four or five dominant players
- 3:49Speaker 5: every year. No one's gonna be able to Well, it
- 3:51Speaker 5: kind of did the opposite thing that I don't know
- 3:52Speaker 5: if anybody foresaw. It created so much parody because guys
- 3:55Speaker 5: are now leaving to go to smaller schools because either
- 3:58Speaker 5: they can afford to do it or they or they're
- 4:01Speaker 5: looking at it as like a stepping stone to get
- 4:03Speaker 5: back to another big like. So it's created so much parody.
- 4:05Speaker 5: But so I don't think you'll ever see the run
- 4:08Speaker 5: again that Nick Saban and maybe we will, maybe something
- 4:10Speaker 5: surprise us, uh.
- 4:11Speaker 4: But.
- 4:13Speaker 5: Yeah, there's nothing like Callender boor is a really good
- 4:16Speaker 5: head football coach.
- 4:17Speaker 3: Okay, so but yeah, his record, but it's.
- 4:21Speaker 5: Crazy to say, but like how many nine and three
- 4:23Speaker 5: seasons can he have?
- 4:25Speaker 3: Right?
- 4:27Speaker 4: Well, I say, I say it's crazy, but we're crazy
- 4:31Speaker 4: in the SEC. Sure and start Alabama like LSU and
- 4:36Speaker 4: Alabama and Auburn and Florida. I mean I could just
- 4:40Speaker 4: like the Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Uh, Texas, A and m
- 4:45Speaker 4: like crazy like it, like it's it's a look, that's
- 4:48Speaker 4: a turm endearment. We're passionate, and like you expect greatness.
- 4:52Speaker 4: Now some of these teams expected even though they haven't
- 4:54Speaker 4: had it, but certainly the ones that have had it,
- 4:56Speaker 4: they do expect it. And so like you're right, like
- 4:58Speaker 4: it does when you say nine and three, you're like, wait,
- 5:00Speaker 4: NOI like that's but that's how it is.
- 5:03Speaker 5: And that's the one fan base Like, yes, you can
- 5:05Speaker 5: because of the success they have. You can accomplish all
- 5:08Speaker 5: your goals as a program, like inside the locker room,
- 5:11Speaker 5: inside the walls of what like what you're trying to build,
- 5:15Speaker 5: how you're how you like the transition of a new
- 5:17Speaker 5: coach and a new program, like you can accomplish all
- 5:20Speaker 5: those goals, but not accomplish the goals of the fans
- 5:22Speaker 5: and the expectations of the fans. So you know, certainly
- 5:25Speaker 5: from a fan standpoint, you go nine to thirty two,
- 5:28Speaker 5: many the noise gets pretty loud. Whether that's fair or unfair,
- 5:31Speaker 5: that's position. That's a position Kailen about the board chose
- 5:34Speaker 5: to go into.
- 5:35Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not dumb, like he knew he knew that expectation.
- 5:37Speaker 4: Right, and it was always going to take somebody I think,
- 5:40Speaker 4: like a Kaelin to Boor.
- 5:41Speaker 3: He was coming off a national championship appearance.
- 5:44Speaker 4: I mean, I don't don't quote me on this, but
- 5:47Speaker 4: he was something like one ten and twelve as a.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Head coach on all levels. Good, pretty good.
- 5:52Speaker 4: That dog will hunt that dog, right, So I like
- 5:55Speaker 4: the fact that he left, Like, that's a guy.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Let's be honest.
- 5:58Speaker 4: If you want to stay at Washington for ten years
- 6:01Speaker 4: and make the most money on the West coast, maybe
- 6:03Speaker 4: outside of Oregon, he could have done that. He did
- 6:06Speaker 4: challenge himself to go down to Alabama. It was nine
- 6:09Speaker 4: and three. There was you know, look the Oklahoma loss,
- 6:12Speaker 4: the Vanderbilt loss, those are the ones I think the
- 6:14Speaker 4: Alabama fans are probably most except upset by because of
- 6:17Speaker 4: like one, Oklahoma was struggling, they beat him, and then
- 6:20Speaker 4: you know, you can't lose the Vanderbilt in Alabama, man Man,
- 6:23Speaker 4: Vanderbilt ended up, you know, having a good football team.
- 6:27Speaker 4: I wonder what it's like though, if he does go
- 6:29Speaker 4: nine and three this year in Tuscaloosa, if he does
- 6:32Speaker 4: another nine and three and he's got some losses that
- 6:35Speaker 4: aren't Georgia or Texas, you know, you know, are those
- 6:37Speaker 4: type of teams.
- 6:38Speaker 5: Lsu Yeah, it's going to depend on how the losses
- 6:43Speaker 5: look and who they're too. I mean, certainly two of
- 6:45Speaker 5: their losses last year Vanderbilt and Oklahoma, where it was
- 6:49Speaker 5: not great, it wasn't wasn't a good look for you know,
- 6:53Speaker 5: the big old Crimson tide going in there, and those
- 6:56Speaker 5: are just not losses that a fan base is is suspects.
- 7:00Speaker 5: If you go nine to three and the optics of
- 7:03Speaker 5: the losses are a lot better, it's certainly a whole
- 7:06Speaker 5: different conversation. So you know, we'll see the expectations they have.
- 7:11Speaker 5: I mean, I can only imagine the weight that he's
- 7:13Speaker 5: got to carry around. But again, look he's getting paid
- 7:15Speaker 5: well to do it. He knew what he was doing,
- 7:17Speaker 5: and kudos to him for challenging himself on that. But
- 7:20Speaker 5: like you said, I mean, the record prior to getting
- 7:23Speaker 5: to Alabama is is unmatched out there from a just
- 7:28Speaker 5: a wins and lost record and the programs as he's
- 7:30Speaker 5: he's turned around and made super relevant.
- 7:35Speaker 4: He is now one thirteen and sixteen. It is hey
- 7:38Speaker 4: coaching right career. I guess you know. They did go
- 7:41Speaker 4: nine and four, they did lose a bowl game to Michigan.
- 7:44Speaker 4: But one of the themes of this media day, there's
- 7:48Speaker 4: not and because we're talking to Alabama and brings it
- 7:50Speaker 4: to mind and we had Georgia yesterday, it's not the
- 7:53Speaker 4: feeling like I've had.
- 7:54Speaker 3: This is media day I think seven that I've been to.
- 7:59Speaker 4: And typically when you get here, it's like, okay, you've
- 8:01Speaker 4: got top tier. Sometimes it can be three teams. A
- 8:05Speaker 4: lot of times it's two teams top tier, middle tier,
- 8:09Speaker 4: and then everybody else it's just like it feels like
- 8:12Speaker 4: middle tier, right, and then like three teams at the bottom.
- 8:16Speaker 4: I could like, it doesn't right the same you can't
- 8:19Speaker 4: like you like, okay, we have well, let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
- 8:23Speaker 4: eight desk right here on the front row of media Day,
- 8:26Speaker 4: I bet if you said, let's go down the line,
- 8:29Speaker 4: let's ask these eight tables SEC champion this year, I bet.
- 8:31Speaker 3: We get five different answers. I truly believe that. Yeah,
- 8:35Speaker 3: I'm with you on that, right yep.
- 8:37Speaker 4: I mean because look, Jock's down there would say Alabama,
- 8:40Speaker 4: I bet, and the Atlanta station the game next to us,
- 8:43Speaker 4: they'd say Georgia.
- 8:43Speaker 3: We would say LASHU.
- 8:44Speaker 4: You know, so to my point, if there's there's there's five,
- 8:47Speaker 4: I bet the table next to us we'll say tex.
- 8:49Speaker 3: With very real expectations that you.
- 8:52Speaker 5: Know, I don't think every team out there talks about
- 8:55Speaker 5: we brought this up with the Jeff Levy interview, like
- 8:57Speaker 5: having real, realistic expectations. I don't know if every single
- 9:01Speaker 5: year there's five or six teams that realistically think that
- 9:05Speaker 5: they can actually compete and win an SEC championship. So,
- 9:11Speaker 5: but that is real this year, and that's why we're
- 9:14Speaker 5: so hopeful for LSU, and because I think they got
- 9:17Speaker 5: the best, the best chance at it with the leadership
- 9:20Speaker 5: they have, what they're returning the really a quarterback that
- 9:23Speaker 5: has proved it. There's a lot of question marks at quarterback.
- 9:25Speaker 5: I know these question marks in the SEC at quarterback
- 9:27Speaker 5: might pan out. All of them pan out to be great,
- 9:30Speaker 5: but you don't know that there's question marks. I'll take
- 9:32Speaker 5: the proven commodity in the NFL readiness that is garrett Nessmm.
- 9:40Speaker 5: Where you at right now? Oh, let me tell you
- 9:42Speaker 5: this little story, little tidbit. Been a while since I've
- 9:46Speaker 5: seen Kirby Smart and we talked about he was an
- 9:48Speaker 5: assistant safety's coach when we were at when we were
- 9:53Speaker 5: at LSU in two thousand.
- 9:54Speaker 4: And three and four, I believe, Yeah, I know four
- 9:56Speaker 4: for sure or for sure.
- 9:58Speaker 5: I can't remember if he was there for three. But anyway,
- 9:59Speaker 5: it's been a long time since I've seen it. I think,
- 10:01Speaker 5: of course, I think highly of him, one of the
- 10:03Speaker 5: one of the best coaches in college football, and me,
- 10:05Speaker 5: what a job he's done. Uh So I was really
- 10:08Speaker 5: looking forward to just like seeing him again, shaking his hand,
- 10:10Speaker 5: bit man, you know, tell him how you know, proud
- 10:13Speaker 5: of you and and all that stuff. Got to see
- 10:16Speaker 5: him yesterday. I met him right behind the urinals in
- 10:21Speaker 5: the bathroom. No you didn't, did I did. I went
- 10:23Speaker 5: to the bat I wouldn't try it to like. I
- 10:25Speaker 5: didn't follow him in the bout him. I had to pee.
- 10:27Speaker 5: You already brought up my old man bladder uber hydrated.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Uh.
- 10:31Speaker 5: But I go and he is, you know, just getting done,
- 10:34Speaker 5: you know, washing the old head. And I'm just walking
- 10:36Speaker 5: in and I'm like, Kirby, what's up, dude? And he's like, oh, man,
- 10:42Speaker 5: what's up, dude?
- 10:43Speaker 2: How are you doing?
- 10:43Speaker 3: And I was like, man, you didn't have to tell
- 10:45Speaker 3: your name.
- 10:45Speaker 5: No, no, no. And then I was like, I was like, man,
- 10:48Speaker 5: this is awkward. I did not want to see you
- 10:50Speaker 5: at the urinals. But yeah, here we are, and uh,
- 10:53Speaker 5: let's just go with it.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:55Speaker 5: And you know, it's not the best smelling bathroom ever.
- 10:57Speaker 5: It's a lot of people that kind of go in
- 10:59Speaker 5: and out.
- 10:59Speaker 3: But you know, so that was right out here. Yeah,
- 11:01Speaker 3: that was right there. Yeah so you said hello to
- 11:03Speaker 3: him though.
- 11:05Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was it was one of those you know,
- 11:07Speaker 5: we both felt comfortable with the bathroom handshake because.
- 11:10Speaker 3: He I was just walking in.
- 11:11Speaker 5: He had just washed his hands and dried him off,
- 11:13Speaker 5: so we both felt comfortable with the bathroom. Bathroom handshakes
- 11:16Speaker 5: are always a weird like proposition. You don't really know
- 11:18Speaker 5: what what like process they're at. It was clear and
- 11:21Speaker 5: definitive little handshake, you know, chatted it up for about
- 11:24Speaker 5: forty five seconds to a minute, which you can't really
- 11:26Speaker 5: do much longer than that in a bath. Nd yeah,
- 11:29Speaker 5: then he gets awkward. Then it gets awkward. People are
- 11:31Speaker 5: like like, excuse me, I got to get to.
- 11:33Speaker 4: The sak just like, hey, wait, like me and Kirby
- 11:36Speaker 4: a smart to hear pal go find another.
- 11:37Speaker 5: You know, a couple of port a couple of commode
- 11:39Speaker 5: flushes in the background. It's just, you know, it's not
- 11:42Speaker 5: the best situation, not where it drew it up, all right,
- 11:45Speaker 5: but uh, you know, good to connect with the old
- 11:47Speaker 5: ball coach.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Yeah, well, what did he say when you told him
- 11:49Speaker 4: you were in sports media? Because he called me He's like.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Man, why would you why'd you do that? You big dummy?
- 11:57Speaker 5: I told him i'd been and he's like, eh, I see,
- 11:59Speaker 5: because he he brought up Lantasy.
- 12:01Speaker 3: Hester a bunch and blah blah blah. He's like, man,
- 12:03Speaker 3: I'm just being proud of blah blah blah all this stuff.
- 12:05Speaker 3: You know, we're just catching up. So he's like, I
- 12:08Speaker 3: was like, yeah, so I'm working with Hester now.
- 12:09Speaker 5: He's like, oh, all right, wells huh.
- 12:14Speaker 3: See you later, very memorable. I'm sure he'll remember it
- 12:21Speaker 3: for it.
- 12:21Speaker 4: It is so like it is wild for us, Like
- 12:24Speaker 4: y'all have to understand, like when Matt says, like he was,
- 12:27Speaker 4: you know, the assistant DB's coach, and I told the
- 12:30Speaker 4: story yesterday, like I'm in that room, and like Nick
- 12:34Speaker 4: Saban's actually running the tape coaching the DB's and then
- 12:37Speaker 4: Kirby's sitting behind him kind of taking notes, and like
- 12:40Speaker 4: so for us, and not that we didn't think he
- 12:42Speaker 4: was a great coach, Like you could tell he was
- 12:43Speaker 4: going to be a great coach. He was a great coach,
- 12:45Speaker 4: but like for us to see him from where we
- 12:47Speaker 4: saw him in two thousand and four at LSU just
- 12:49Speaker 4: being like an assistant dB coach too. I don't think
- 12:54Speaker 4: we can argue this right now. The current best coach
- 12:56Speaker 4: in college football, Yeah, I.
- 12:58Speaker 3: Would say so. I mean, he's hurt and he's earn
- 13:00Speaker 3: those stripes.
- 13:02Speaker 5: There are some people that want to contend for that
- 13:04Speaker 5: honor and have the record to probably back it up.
- 13:06Speaker 5: But he's earned the stripes.
- 13:07Speaker 3: Man.
- 13:08Speaker 5: I mean, when when you think of that, he Kirby
- 13:10Speaker 5: Smart is the probably the rated best coach in college football.
- 13:15Speaker 4: It's gotta be cool for like Kirby two to do
- 13:17Speaker 4: it at a place where he was you know, he's
- 13:21Speaker 4: a good player, like he was like a star of
- 13:23Speaker 4: his teams, like when he was when he was there.
- 13:25Speaker 4: Like when you go back and you go back home,
- 13:28Speaker 4: like whatever home is, it does bring expectations. It does
- 13:32Speaker 4: bring like the fear of failure, maybe a little bit
- 13:34Speaker 4: more because you don't want to mess up home. But
- 13:37Speaker 4: also it makes you so prideful in a way that
- 13:40Speaker 4: you don't want to let home down.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can be like, well, why wouldn't you
- 13:44Speaker 3: work the same?
- 13:45Speaker 4: In your mind, you are working the same sometimes, I
- 13:47Speaker 4: all like, it's just like when I talk about when
- 13:50Speaker 4: you're playing Directional School you compared to when you're playing
- 13:53Speaker 4: Georgia or Florida or whoever. In your mind, you're preparing
- 13:58Speaker 4: for little State you as much as you are Big
- 14:01Speaker 4: State you. Right, you're doing the same things each and
- 14:04Speaker 4: every day, but you're not like there's a little bit
- 14:05Speaker 4: more you're doing each and every day. But you're you
- 14:08Speaker 4: think you are. You know what I'm saying, You're going
- 14:10Speaker 4: through the most and.
- 14:10Speaker 3: It's subconscious you're trying.
- 14:12Speaker 5: Yeah, you're saying the things right and that's what But
- 14:15Speaker 5: a good coach can kind of motivate you a little
- 14:17Speaker 5: bit more.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Yeah, you kind of push it. Yeah. So like for Kirby,
- 14:19Speaker 3: like if he was.
- 14:20Speaker 4: At Auburn and he'd be doing he'd be doing all
- 14:21Speaker 4: the things right, But when he's in Georgia, he's just
- 14:24Speaker 4: gonna do a little bit more of the things, like
- 14:25Speaker 4: even if he doesn't know it, just because of where
- 14:28Speaker 4: it is, and you know what it means to him.
- 14:30Speaker 5: And you talk about it too, like when you're you're
- 14:32Speaker 5: getting recruited, staying in states, playing for your your state school,
- 14:38Speaker 5: playing at LSU, like you go there, have success, man,
- 14:40Speaker 5: you're a made man like that, Like it means so
- 14:43Speaker 5: much more when somebody in state goes there, does things
- 14:46Speaker 5: the right way and has success. The same with him,
- 14:48Speaker 5: he goes back home to Georgia, all the success, all

- 16:54Speaker 4: guy Chris Marler down there just louisianasports dot net. He
- 16:58Speaker 4: has had his hand up in his up for three days.
- 17:02Speaker 4: Three days.
- 17:03Speaker 3: He oh, Actually mar didn't have a redneck. Actually that's
- 17:09Speaker 3: just me.
- 17:10Speaker 5: Well he's got the two fingers up like hey bo.
- 17:12Speaker 4: Yeah, I say say now, say now, and see if
- 17:16Speaker 4: Marlin get his question in there.
- 17:18Speaker 5: But Ma's been qushing it with the questions. I was
- 17:20Speaker 5: in there the other day when Shane Biemer was talking
- 17:23Speaker 5: and uh, there was probably four or five questions before
- 17:27Speaker 5: he got his uh. And then he and you know,
- 17:30Speaker 5: just a straight response. He asked his questions. Yeah and boom,
- 17:35Speaker 5: he got a good question. He got a hey, good question,
- 17:38Speaker 5: thank you. So I texted the group, I say, put
- 17:41Speaker 5: him on the scoreboard. He's on, Marla is on it.
- 17:45Speaker 5: Good for him. So I hadn't gotten my question in
- 17:47Speaker 5: down there.
- 17:48Speaker 3: I don't really forgot every day though.
- 17:49Speaker 5: Hadn't You've gone every day, not to every single press conference,
- 17:54Speaker 5: but I've gone to multiple just to kind of see
- 17:56Speaker 5: what it's all about.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Anybody kind of stand out to you.
- 17:59Speaker 4: As far as as a coaches, You're like, okay, yeah,
- 18:01Speaker 4: I get it. I get why the team follows that guy.
- 18:05Speaker 3: I like Shane Beemer. He was a dude.
- 18:09Speaker 5: And I am kind of nervous this year about South
- 18:14Speaker 5: Carolina because of Leonora's Sellers. Like we were we were
- 18:19Speaker 5: in a group last night, I think it was that.
- 18:21Speaker 5: Was it at dinner or was it we were having
- 18:22Speaker 5: some do sectis. I can't remember, but we were talking about, like,
- 18:25Speaker 5: of all the players that have walked through here, there's
- 18:27Speaker 5: one guy that just looks a little different than everybody.
- 18:29Speaker 5: Lona Sellers looks like that dude. Yeah, like walk around
- 18:33Speaker 5: not from like a confidence, just like a just a
- 18:35Speaker 5: physical just just he walks, he carries a presence with
- 18:39Speaker 5: him because he is a unit.
- 18:42Speaker 3: So he's one of these.
- 18:44Speaker 5: Guys that I fear could take that next type greatness
- 18:49Speaker 5: step in his quarterback play. I'm not gonna say I
- 18:53Speaker 5: hope not, but like because I think right, but she
- 18:58Speaker 5: does play him. So he's one of those guys that
- 19:01Speaker 5: I certainly have my eyeball on, and I know everybody
- 19:04Speaker 5: else does too. I mean, he's on the list, right,
- 19:06Speaker 5: He's on that preseason list for the Heisman.
- 19:07Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. But like because of the potential.
- 19:10Speaker 5: But I think just hearing hearing Shane Beamer talk about
- 19:14Speaker 5: him here and kind of the responses and just seeing
- 19:16Speaker 5: him walk around, it's like, man, this dude has the potential, yeah,
- 19:18Speaker 5: and the mindset to uh be absolutely dangerous this season.
- 19:25Speaker 4: So when I look at South Carolina, I start talking
- 19:27Speaker 4: about Lenora Sellers. If he's in the Heisman conversation in November,
- 19:32Speaker 4: South Carolinas.
- 19:33Speaker 3: In the playoff conversation, yeah that's okay. If he's not,
- 19:36Speaker 3: they're not like and I don't want to like.
- 19:39Speaker 4: I mean, that's a great point, but I don't want
- 19:40Speaker 4: to make it like individual. Yeah, but with his case,
- 19:44Speaker 4: like he doesn't have like he doesn't have the weapons
- 19:47Speaker 4: that LSU does. He doesn't have the Alburn has better weapons.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Like I think if you're looking at just the weapons now,
- 19:53Speaker 4: they don't have the quarterback, but they've got the weapons.
- 19:56Speaker 3: Uh yeah, so like Texas has better.
- 20:00Speaker 4: Way, we can go down the list of who has
- 20:01Speaker 4: better weapons, like you could go to a casual South
- 20:05Speaker 4: Carolina fan. Hell, I'd go down that crowd right now
- 20:08Speaker 4: and I see somebody that covers another team, like, hey,
- 20:10Speaker 4: give me South Carolina's top two receivers.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Uh, they struggle.
- 20:17Speaker 5: It's like you're asking me about any team. There are
- 20:20Speaker 5: a bunch of mees down there when it comes to
- 20:21Speaker 5: South you said it not me.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Hey, we're learning.
- 20:25Speaker 4: But but my point is like it's little Norse sellers.
- 20:28Speaker 4: Like Rocket Sanders was great last year. He's not like
- 20:30Speaker 4: Rocket Sanders isn't there anymore? Like it's gonna be you know,
- 20:35Speaker 4: Bennett in Harbor and those guys that have been okay,
- 20:38Speaker 4: and they've been like nice pieces like they now they
- 20:41Speaker 4: have to be the main piece.
- 20:42Speaker 3: They gotta be up in the mantle. Yep. And I
- 20:44Speaker 3: just for the Norse centers. He did it last year,
- 20:47Speaker 3: but he's.
- 20:47Speaker 5: Gonna do it again, and he's gonna have to make
- 20:49Speaker 5: people around them elevate their play. Which, look, I think
- 20:54Speaker 5: that it could happen. I think that that program has
- 20:57Speaker 5: the right mindset. I think the program has great leadership.
- 21:02Speaker 5: Did you just get way louder on this microphone?
- 21:05Speaker 3: Yes? I don't know what happened on her? A little
- 21:08Speaker 3: white noise in the background. Yeah, I don't know how
- 21:10Speaker 3: we get rid of that.
- 21:11Speaker 4: We'll try to there we go, all right, I don't
- 21:14Speaker 4: know what got hit there, rivers do I don't know.
- 21:17Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 21:17Speaker 4: I was looking at the chat when they were asking
- 21:19Speaker 4: is this Zen or Icebreakers?
- 21:21Speaker 3: And Alandra knows her her host pretty well.
- 21:24Speaker 4: She's like, it was Jake. It's Icebreakers, That's what it is.
- 21:26Speaker 4: It's Icebreakers. It's not as you.
- 21:29Speaker 3: Didn't want to be. Oh, hey, let's turn Cole kublick
- 21:32Speaker 3: up here, Hey, Bud.
- 21:34Speaker 2: There's an accusation floating around. Yeah, in a days that
- 21:37Speaker 2: I'm a bully, Yeah, a little bit. Uh.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Flynn was just saying like he's like, man, you know,
- 21:41Speaker 4: I think Jock's actually gets a lot of the guys
- 21:43Speaker 4: because Cole's like, hey, bud sip, yeah.
- 21:47Speaker 3: Hey, take a seat.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Respect to that is that is that bully or is
- 21:51Speaker 2: that relationship? That is that maneuvering.
- 21:55Speaker 3: It's a little bit of the word bully never came.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Bully didn't come. Yea did not come.
- 22:02Speaker 2: He riz putting that word in your mouth. That's not
- 22:04Speaker 2: that's not good. I was like, uh, I think that's
- 22:08Speaker 2: what I like. Hey, uh my guy, sit down. Man,
- 22:14Speaker 2: you're gonna have to learn. You just you just act
- 22:17Speaker 2: like you know the guys and you've been here before.
- 22:18Speaker 2: You say excuse me, but next, and then the players
- 22:21Speaker 2: don't know what to do. That's the thing. They've never
- 22:23Speaker 2: done this. I have of these guys have never been
- 22:25Speaker 2: here before. So they'll just look at you and say, oh,
- 22:26Speaker 2: this guy looks like he knows what he's doing. I
- 22:28Speaker 2: better sit down. I'm gona get in trouble.
- 22:30Speaker 3: So yeah, and then the handlers walking around like, hey,
- 22:31Speaker 3: where's my gay.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Guys? Hey guys, hey guys. Yeah, okay, we got it.
- 22:38Speaker 2: We're winding it. We asked him one question.
- 22:40Speaker 3: Okay, give me a second.
- 22:41Speaker 4: I know there's some people that do the wind up
- 22:44Speaker 4: that are a little scarier than others, like Catherine, who
- 22:46Speaker 4: is Greg Sankees, and.
- 22:48Speaker 2: You don't ignore that wind up you Okay? I got
- 22:52Speaker 2: cut him off and said we're done, Catherine.
- 22:54Speaker 4: You do to like Catherine's looking at me through those
- 22:57Speaker 4: glasses and we got here, out of here, you're out,
- 23:00Speaker 4: you'll alert, you'll see all right, fair to see that.
- 23:02Speaker 3: How's the week going, Bud? It's good.
- 23:04Speaker 2: It's draining. I don't know why this one's making me
- 23:06Speaker 2: more tired than the others.
- 23:07Speaker 3: But we were talking about that walking all that walking together.
- 23:09Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know what's going on, but this.
- 23:11Speaker 5: Year is just you're done. Stop man, you're here all
- 23:15Speaker 5: day recorded recording. I mean, you're a heart. I don't
- 23:18Speaker 5: see anybody harder work it.
- 23:20Speaker 3: Greg.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Greg's like, what do you think about that swing off
- 23:22Speaker 2: in the All Star Game last night? I said, I
- 23:23Speaker 2: was asleep out of the idea was talking about.
- 23:25Speaker 3: I missed it.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I didn't see it.
- 23:26Speaker 3: And you know who we haven't seen here grinding and
- 23:28Speaker 3: getting recordings. Greg his partners busy on TV there. That's right,
- 23:36Speaker 3: very important.
- 23:37Speaker 5: Tell me a couple of guys that have just impressed
- 23:39Speaker 5: you as a human being, as a teammate, and just
- 23:42Speaker 5: like interview process, couple, give me a couple of guys
- 23:44Speaker 5: that stood out to.
- 23:44Speaker 2: You here this year, Arts Manning number one, and I
- 23:48Speaker 2: think that we spent a lot of time talking about
- 23:50Speaker 2: the circus that's with him and everything going on around him.
- 23:52Speaker 2: We I don't think we've given him enough credit for
- 23:55Speaker 2: how he's managed this. His parents deserve a ton of credit.
- 23:58Speaker 2: He has a lot of advantages with his grandfather, his
- 24:00Speaker 2: uncle's obviously, but we just don't give him enough credit
- 24:03Speaker 2: because think about how easy this would be to go
- 24:05Speaker 2: to his head, and how easy this would be for
- 24:07Speaker 2: him to just be on cloud nine and be better
- 24:09Speaker 2: than everybody else, and the stories about carrying other people's
- 24:13Speaker 2: pads at practice and then just being a good teammate.
- 24:15Speaker 2: And he was having fun yesterday too. I talked to
- 24:17Speaker 2: him for a few minutes downstairs and he was enjoying this,
- 24:20Speaker 2: and I thought that was cool to see, because I
- 24:22Speaker 2: do think there's a part of him that we had
- 24:24Speaker 2: a TV meeting with him last year and you could
- 24:25Speaker 2: tell he was annoyed by it. Like walking in, you
- 24:28Speaker 2: could tell he was like, I don't want to do this.
- 24:30Speaker 2: This is dumb. Why am I doing this? I'm not
- 24:32Speaker 2: their real starter. I'm filling in for Quinn who's heart.
- 24:34Speaker 2: You could tell that was his mindset, which is great.
- 24:37Speaker 2: But once we got him going, he was fun, he
- 24:39Speaker 2: was energetic, he was cool. So I'm really I was
- 24:42Speaker 2: really impressed with him. I'm trying to think the other
- 24:46Speaker 2: player a lot. I thought Texas all three. I think
- 24:49Speaker 2: all all three in Texas guy Michael Taff with the tie,
- 24:51Speaker 2: what he's doing for the folks in Texas that that's incredible.
- 24:54Speaker 3: Just to have that thought.
- 24:55Speaker 2: And to want to make that statement in media days
- 24:58Speaker 2: was unbelievable. That's the kind of human being he he
- 25:00Speaker 2: is and that nothing else needs to be said about him.
- 25:02Speaker 2: That makes me want to watch him play football. Yeah,
- 25:04Speaker 2: that makes me want to. Like when I watch Texas play,
- 25:07Speaker 2: I will hope that that Taff gets an interception. Like
- 25:09Speaker 2: that's that's what That's what he is to me now,
- 25:11Speaker 2: Like he won me over, no doubt.
- 25:13Speaker 3: I am the same way. LSU guys.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Since we're here in bad Ruge, which you think about
- 25:17Speaker 4: the LSU guys.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Love, I love talking to us. He said that mobility
- 25:21Speaker 2: and movement has been a priority for him. Yeah, which
- 25:24Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I've been hard on him, right, I'm like, dude,
- 25:27Speaker 2: you can move in the pocket, Like, I know your
- 25:28Speaker 2: tackles are really good, but it's okay to just go
- 25:31Speaker 2: a little bit left and then throw the ball away.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Or when you go way left and there's not a
- 25:35Speaker 2: defender within thirty yards, just walk for five yards. You
- 25:39Speaker 2: wouldn't even have to sprint, just walk for five And
- 25:42Speaker 2: then he said that's been an emphasis for his game.
- 25:44Speaker 2: And then there have been discussions about actually hitting the
- 25:47Speaker 2: ball off.
- 25:48Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about that. Yeah, we talked about.
- 25:51Speaker 2: That potentially deciding to do that, and yeah.
- 25:54Speaker 3: That's got it.
- 25:55Speaker 4: That has that has to happen if LSU wants to
- 25:57Speaker 4: get to where they want to go.
- 25:59Speaker 5: And there's a lot of noise from from the LSU
- 26:01Speaker 5: fan base like they'd watch a game they're just just
- 26:03Speaker 5: pull it one time and run it on the zone raid.
- 26:06Speaker 5: And my argument to that's, like I get what you're saying,
- 26:08Speaker 5: because I see the same thing.
- 26:09Speaker 3: Y'all. If he pulled it, he'd make five six yards
- 26:11Speaker 3: whatever it is.
- 26:12Speaker 5: But it's scared. That's fire, Like you don't run. You
- 26:15Speaker 5: don't run a zone raid. With Tom Brady back there
- 26:17Speaker 5: right like, just don't run the zone.
- 26:18Speaker 2: But I'll equate it to this well, first, I would
- 26:20Speaker 2: say with him, I don't think you have to have
- 26:22Speaker 2: that kind of an offense. And with Jared Stidham and Auburn,
- 26:24Speaker 2: they didn't need that kind of offense either. But Gus
- 26:26Speaker 2: Mills almost gonna run it. He would pull one every
- 26:29Speaker 2: now and then, and just I don't want to call
- 26:31Speaker 2: it running but moving. I don't want to call what
- 26:36Speaker 2: he was doing running a little more rapidly and all
- 26:39Speaker 2: of a sudden four yards eight yards and just what
- 26:43Speaker 2: that does to the defense I think is necessary at times.
- 26:46Speaker 2: I really do believe that.
- 26:48Speaker 3: How did we get a chance to get you off
- 26:49Speaker 3: air this long?
- 26:50Speaker 2: We're cameing to boards at the podium, man.
- 26:54Speaker 3: That's true. I mean I could have gotten you a
- 26:56Speaker 3: chair to stretch.
- 26:58Speaker 2: I need to get up and move around. We our
- 27:00Speaker 2: listeners need everything. Kay, what's gonna say?
- 27:02Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we did.
- 27:04Speaker 2: He was impressive today talking to him.
- 27:06Speaker 3: I love so you and I so you.
- 27:08Speaker 4: And I we actually covered the game together, the Sugar
- 27:11Speaker 4: Bowl where they beat Texas in the semi final, and
- 27:13Speaker 4: so we did get a chance to get to know
- 27:15Speaker 4: him and his team a little bit, and he was
- 27:17Speaker 4: incredible with us. I just don't think a lot of
- 27:20Speaker 4: fans realize how good of a coach he is. And
- 27:22Speaker 4: we were talking about his record, it's like one, thirteen
- 27:24Speaker 4: and twelve still right, It's like for me, those how
- 27:28Speaker 4: to win games, it doesn't matter what level, because he
- 27:30Speaker 4: had those those level of players himself. He was nine
- 27:33Speaker 4: and three last year, like Rome is not burning, like
- 27:36Speaker 4: they they have a chance to figure it out this year.
- 27:39Speaker 4: And the expectation is what it is, you're following Nick Saban.
- 27:41Speaker 4: We all get that, but I always love the fact
- 27:43Speaker 4: that he said I'll follow Nick Saban.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Not a lot of people do.
- 27:47Speaker 2: This shy away from it. He knows what it is.
- 27:48Speaker 2: He welcomed all the pressure that was going to come
- 27:50Speaker 2: with it, and I think that's his confidence that he has.
- 27:54Speaker 2: I actually think that he's excited about the team this
- 27:58Speaker 2: year as opposed to some of the player and I
- 28:01Speaker 2: think last year he had some excitement about some of
- 28:03Speaker 2: the players, but he didn't really know what kind of
- 28:05Speaker 2: a team he had. I think now he knows he
- 28:07Speaker 2: has more of a team. Would he like to have
- 28:09Speaker 2: Tyler Booker back, Absolutely? Would he like to have a
- 28:11Speaker 2: couple of guys that maybe hit the portal still there,
- 28:13Speaker 2: like a Kendrick Law, who's one of the best blocking
- 28:16Speaker 2: receivers I've ever seen. Sure would he like to have
- 28:18Speaker 2: those two tight ends back for sure, looks we talked
- 28:21Speaker 2: to him about on the show today. Yes, but I
- 28:23Speaker 2: think he understands now they're probably going to be more
- 28:26Speaker 2: capable operating their offense than they were a year ago.
- 28:29Speaker 2: He didn't say that. I believe that, and he alluded
- 28:32Speaker 2: to some things around that. So I think their offense
- 28:35Speaker 2: has a chance to be a lot better without a
- 28:37Speaker 2: quarterback that runs twenty three miles an hour, So you
- 28:39Speaker 2: know they're going to know when to get that offense
- 28:42Speaker 2: is nowhere to go and get the ball out and
- 28:44Speaker 2: if you can do that, it's going to have success.
- 28:47Speaker 5: Is there anything that Kaylan de War can do at
- 28:49Speaker 5: Alabama this season short of like making a Final four
- 28:53Speaker 5: or win an se championship that the fans are gonna
- 28:56Speaker 5: be like, yep, that was a successful season for.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Us, not those fans. No, yeah, no.
- 29:02Speaker 3: It's kind of like it.
- 29:03Speaker 2: There's very few of those fans, Matt that will sit
- 29:05Speaker 2: back and say, oh, yeah, we got to the playoffs,
- 29:10Speaker 2: that was a good year. That's just not a real
- 29:11Speaker 2: thing with them.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Tried hard.
- 29:13Speaker 2: That rose ball game the other I mean, that was
- 29:14Speaker 2: a failure to them, and it didn't help when the
- 29:17Speaker 2: quarterback from the previous year when they won the SEC.
- 29:20Speaker 2: But then when the national championship came back and said
- 29:22Speaker 2: last year was a failure. And that's how I view it. Yeah,
- 29:24Speaker 2: I mean Bryce Young sat down with us in media
- 29:26Speaker 2: days it was actually right over there, and he was like,
- 29:27Speaker 2: last year was a failure, and it was like, dud,
- 29:29Speaker 2: don't do to yourself. Come on, you had a hell
- 29:32Speaker 2: of a year last year. Y'all won the SEC.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Like, don't say that is there some Alabama fans call
- 29:37Speaker 4: that no matter what he does. One he's not Nick
- 29:40Speaker 4: Saban and two he's not from the area. And you
- 29:42Speaker 4: know what I mean, like he's uh, you know, he's
- 29:45Speaker 4: not from the South, the East seed and grew up
- 29:46Speaker 4: in the se seed and go to you know, coaching
- 29:48Speaker 4: SEC teams like Bama.
- 29:51Speaker 3: Exactly right.
- 29:53Speaker 2: It's you guys know that. It's amazing how quickly it
- 29:57Speaker 2: can shift. Because there were a lot of those conversations
- 30:00Speaker 2: after the season, a lot of those conversations when the
- 30:02Speaker 2: portal window opened. But you guys are probably I know,
- 30:05Speaker 2: you guys don't follow it like we don't really follow it,
- 30:07Speaker 2: but you've seen what's been happening in that program the
- 30:09Speaker 2: last month, month and a half. Yeah, five star, five star,
- 30:12Speaker 2: five star. All of a sudden, he's right back on
- 30:14Speaker 2: part with Nick Saban.
- 30:15Speaker 3: Right, I'm so glad we got him. Yeah, I can
- 30:18Speaker 3: coach guy.
- 30:19Speaker 2: He can coach man. That's our guy. That's our guy.
- 30:22Speaker 2: He's like I hadn't coached Anybody's recruited some kids, you know,
- 30:25Speaker 2: but like that's how I mean literally, it can nose
- 30:28Speaker 2: dive in a minute, and it can escalate through the
- 30:31Speaker 2: roof in the next minute. It's just that's where they are.
- 30:34Speaker 3: He knew, he knew what he was getting into there, right,
- 30:37Speaker 3: there's no doubt. Yeah, I mean I think he's I think.
- 30:40Speaker 2: He does a very good job of blocking a lot
- 30:42Speaker 2: of that out. Yeah, he doesn't see it, he doesn't
- 30:44Speaker 2: hear it. He doesn't. I mean, he knows what the
- 30:45Speaker 2: job is, but all the peripheral bs, he he doesn't.
- 30:49Speaker 2: He doesn't let that get to him.
- 30:51Speaker 4: All Right, We had a chance real quick to talk
- 30:53Speaker 4: to you about Auburn and Hugh Freeze and maybe what
- 30:57Speaker 4: they have to do, like what is because like look,
- 30:59Speaker 4: you know, media day is cool, like you get here.
- 31:01Speaker 4: It's like how many different people have told me, you
- 31:04Speaker 4: know after two.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Years he's got the same record as Brian Harrison. They didn't.
- 31:07Speaker 4: They tried to have a coup to get Brian Harson
- 31:09Speaker 4: out of town. Like that's I've had seventeen people on
- 31:12Speaker 4: media row ask me that question. What is like the
- 31:15Speaker 4: expectation there and like what does Hugh.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Have to do to maybe quiet some of the noise?
- 31:21Speaker 2: Just win? And I'm beginning to think he has to
- 31:23Speaker 2: win the opener.
- 31:25Speaker 3: Because I think, yeah, that's not an easy one.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not on the road really hard. They're gonna
- 31:29Speaker 2: black It's gonna be a blackout. They got billboards all
- 31:32Speaker 2: over the place. They're bringing RG three and Chip and
- 31:35Speaker 2: to Way, the games are gonna be there. They're talking
- 31:36Speaker 2: about it like they are. They're blowing this thing out.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Alvin Flynn, former Bay quarterback.
- 31:41Speaker 2: They're making this game massive. And Greg told me last
- 31:45Speaker 2: week at Big twelve me to Days he was there
- 31:47Speaker 2: that Dave Randall's like, we know what this is this
- 31:49Speaker 2: SEC team, we know what this can do, we know
- 31:51Speaker 2: what this is. I don't think Alburn fans have an
- 31:54Speaker 2: appreciation for how good Sorry Robertson is for how good
- 31:57Speaker 2: that team is. Now you're taking an air raid.
- 31:58Speaker 3: Guy.
- 31:59Speaker 2: They're gonna keep some of the stread zone stuff, so
- 32:01Speaker 2: they're gonna mix and match that. You don't know really
- 32:03Speaker 2: what you're gonna get from that offense and what it's
- 32:05Speaker 2: going to look like. That's a that's a there's a
- 32:08Speaker 2: tough There's a couple of Week one games, like everybody
- 32:10Speaker 2: knows Clemson is hard. Yeah, but I'm just telling you Tennessee, Syracuse,
- 32:13Speaker 2: you better be really careful.
- 32:15Speaker 3: I talked about that bor.
- 32:16Speaker 2: You bet to be really careful with that game. So
- 32:18Speaker 2: there's a couple early like Florida is gonna be fine.
- 32:21Speaker 2: They're playing the Sharks.
- 32:23Speaker 3: Did you know Long Island?
- 32:24Speaker 4: But did you know they had to hand up? I
- 32:26Speaker 4: knew they had baseball. New to me that they had football.
- 32:29Speaker 2: They played somebody like two years ago, and I remember
- 32:31Speaker 2: seeing it as the only reason I knew and the orises.
- 32:33Speaker 2: I know they were the Sharks because I investigated when
- 32:35Speaker 2: I looked at for the schedule this year. They I
- 32:38Speaker 2: think they have to get that game because if they don't,
- 32:40Speaker 2: then not think things start to get oh man, what's
- 32:42Speaker 2: going on? And they start to get a little iffy.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Yeah, but if he if.
- 32:47Speaker 2: He wins a couple of big games and has a
- 32:49Speaker 2: positive season, he'll be fine. If they struggle, not good.
- 32:53Speaker 5: And to your point about Baylor, I mean they ended
- 32:55Speaker 5: the season against LSU, so they're not certainly not going
- 32:58Speaker 5: to back down from See.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Look at this graphics person didn't even know I was
- 33:02Speaker 2: coming on. That's getting that's getting it done right there
- 33:06Speaker 2: to Taylor back in un Taylor, good job having a
- 33:08Speaker 2: mind and thinking for yourself.
- 33:09Speaker 3: He also said, can we get my guy in a chair?
- 33:12Speaker 2: No good, I actually need to squad down like this
- 33:15Speaker 2: and stretch.
- 33:15Speaker 3: The little Yeah, we just found out yesterday.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Well this knee doesn't go all the way.
- 33:19Speaker 3: We have No, we don't have.

- 33:24Speaker 5: passion with sports cards?

- 33:41Speaker 2: to get a great I'm afraid's gon to come back
- 33:43Speaker 2: like a two or three and I'll just be really bummed.
- 33:45Speaker 2: But I have one and then one I just showed

- 34:00Speaker 2: have a one of one super Fractor Jason Kelsey, which
- 34:03Speaker 2: is probably going to be in there, also cool. And
- 34:06Speaker 2: then I had, Oh, you guys love this one. I
- 34:07Speaker 2: need to show you the picture. This one my favorite
- 34:09Speaker 2: card that I have because the little Ell Center's cool,
- 34:11Speaker 2: but my favorite card because it's it was my team
- 34:15Speaker 2: and I've told you stories about him in college before
- 34:17Speaker 2: and how he was presented to us. I have a
- 34:20Speaker 2: Nike swous patch one of two Alan Fanica, Let's Goanica
- 34:28Speaker 2: is my guy, uh with the Steelers. And when I
- 34:31Speaker 2: was in college, we would watch LSU's offense against other
- 34:35Speaker 2: defense and Rick Trickett would say, Rick trick why can't
- 34:38Speaker 2: y'all do what Panic is doing? Right here?
- 34:40Speaker 3: Look at this guy. He's just walking a boy the
- 34:42Speaker 3: whole Why can't.

- 34:53Speaker 2: I wasn't it.
- 34:54Speaker 4: I wish I could do those things use Pro Football
- 34:57Speaker 4: Hall of Famer. You can't tell that pretty early.
- 35:00Speaker 2: He's got he's got more gifts than I.
- 35:02Speaker 4: I'm jealous. I'm jealous that he has that card. And
- 35:04Speaker 4: I don't, dude, it's sweet. Jealous, it's sweet.
- 35:06Speaker 3: Call you the man. We appreciate it.
- 35:08Speaker 4: Stanks sure, love you, brother, appreciated chair.
- 35:12Speaker 3: Yes you have to go.
- 35:15Speaker 2: He didn't actually call me a bully, and the ribs
- 35:17Speaker 2: just made that up.
- 35:18Speaker 3: Yeah, on hundred percent, we said assertive.
- 35:20Speaker 4: All right, there he is our guy, Cole cub look
- 35:22Speaker 4: good enough to join us here while uh Calen new
- 35:25Speaker 4: Boor was on the podium they were carrying that and look,
- 35:27Speaker 4: he could have sat there and totaled his thumbs and
- 35:29Speaker 4: taken a breath because he hadn't done that yet here
- 35:31Speaker 4: this week. But he was good enough to come join
- 35:33Speaker 4: us and to a Sigond squad. I understand because he
- 35:35Speaker 4: had he had the one knee up. The one was
- 35:37Speaker 4: a little bit said, I get that, especially in the morning,
- 35:40Speaker 4: so those knees get.
- 35:40Speaker 3: A little tricky. Calls the man though, Yeah, and uh
- 35:44Speaker 3: we called him a bully. Yeah, that was not said.
- 35:47Speaker 4: We said he's being assertive basically and like saying, hey,
- 35:51Speaker 4: uh hey, Johnny, sit down.
- 35:52Speaker 3: Yea, because he's right on the corner everybody. So that's
- 35:55Speaker 3: that's where we were.
- 35:56Speaker 4: He looks into he looks like he's in charge, so
- 35:58Speaker 4: offensive on the sec h yes, sir, So we that's
- 36:01Speaker 4: where we were like three years ago whenever it was here.
- 36:05Speaker 4: So we were on that corner and actually Jocks was here,
- 36:07Speaker 4: so we kind of just maybe every other time to
- 36:09Speaker 4: go switches that corner right there.
- 36:12Speaker 3: You can stop them.

- 38:34Speaker 4: be joined by the Commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, Greg Sankie.
- 38:37Speaker 4: Looking forward to that conversation. Right now, it's all about
- 38:42Speaker 4: Alabama here you see right across, Actually you can't see
- 38:45Speaker 4: because Moscona decided to turn the camera towards the same
- 38:49Speaker 4: three trophies every day. But if the camera was flipped,
- 38:51Speaker 4: which hopefully it will be tomorrow, we didn't have time
- 38:54Speaker 4: to do it today.
- 38:55Speaker 3: You'll see.
- 38:56Speaker 4: You got Dantae Lawson set to go here. I think
- 38:58Speaker 4: he's going to go on the podium here coming up
- 39:01Speaker 4: pretty soon. It is going to be Florida and Oklahoma
- 39:06Speaker 4: in the afternoon.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Florida and Oklahoma to the teams that we've talked about.
- 39:09Speaker 4: They've got quarterbacks that people are excited about.
- 39:12Speaker 3: I want, man, I want to see both these guys
- 39:14Speaker 3: in person.
- 39:14Speaker 4: Like I like, I don't I don't want to be
- 39:17Speaker 4: like the roy D Mercer, how big a boy are you?
- 39:20Speaker 3: But like I want to size them up a little bit.
- 39:22Speaker 4: Because you mentioned like Leonora Sellers, I'm like, yeah, I
- 39:24Speaker 4: gotta looks fart, yeah right right.
- 39:26Speaker 3: I want to see Lagway. I want to see Johmeterier.
- 39:28Speaker 4: They're probably the two of the most intrigued by just
- 39:30Speaker 4: to kind of see their stature and how they carry
- 39:32Speaker 4: themselves and how they walk into a room.
- 39:34Speaker 3: Yeah, we got some.
- 39:35Speaker 5: We got two teams, Alabama and Florida, both bringing two
- 39:39Speaker 5: linemen of their of their three players that they brought.
- 39:42Speaker 5: So was shown a little grit today. Alabama their quarterback situation,
- 39:49Speaker 5: Ty Simpson, Austin mack Keelon Russellake. So they didn't they
- 39:53Speaker 5: chose not to bring quarterback only. I think one of
- 39:56Speaker 5: two teams this week that's not bringing a quarterback. What
- 40:00Speaker 5: what we talked about that yesterday. I think that every
- 40:02Speaker 5: team should be required to bring a quarterback just for
- 40:05Speaker 5: the sake of a storyline over here and just kind
- 40:08Speaker 5: of see him. But what do you think about their
- 40:10Speaker 5: their quarterback roun.
- 40:14Speaker 3: Some media member just tripped down there. No, he got
- 40:18Speaker 3: a good.
- 40:18Speaker 4: One and he got back up. It's a good question
- 40:21Speaker 4: that you just asked. But he just tried to the
- 40:23Speaker 4: guy in the green polo right there, that's racing the
- 40:25Speaker 4: camera up on the left, Matt on the left of it. Yes,
- 40:29Speaker 4: this day was trying to get Oh my god, he
- 40:32Speaker 4: was trying to get the perfect spot. And I think
- 40:34Speaker 4: his chin hit the ground first was a good fault.
- 40:38Speaker 4: He was trying to play it off. Oh my gosh.
- 40:40Speaker 4: All right, sorry, repeat your question.
- 40:42Speaker 5: I don't even remember, Like, can you stand up and
- 40:45Speaker 5: give us a little demonstration?
- 40:46Speaker 3: Now he fell.
- 40:47Speaker 4: Forward, Well, he had the camera and so he saved
- 40:49Speaker 4: the camera. So he has this very expensive camera and
- 40:53Speaker 4: you can tell. So he's trying to walk around. He's
- 40:55Speaker 4: got it over his head and he's trying to take pictures.
- 40:57Speaker 3: And then he's got in the back right here. Yeah,
- 40:58Speaker 3: you see him, younger guy.
- 40:59Speaker 4: Yeah, and he got clipped and I'm pretty sure his
- 41:03Speaker 4: chin hit the ground first. My gosh, someone's got to
- 41:06Speaker 4: have that on somebody. I'm trying to look now mal
- 41:10Speaker 4: Marl caught it. No, i't where Marlar is. He's over there.
- 41:14Speaker 5: I was just asked you about the quarterback room. So yeah,
- 41:17Speaker 5: it's one of I think two teams. I believe only
- 41:19Speaker 5: get No. One of three team for no, there's goodness
- 41:22Speaker 5: quot they didn't bring the quarterback tomorrow. There's only one
- 41:25Speaker 5: quarterback here, yeah tomorrow, Yeah, but the only.
- 41:27Speaker 3: One today not bring it.
- 41:28Speaker 4: But it was like Kentucky's like Zach Calzada, Okay, he's
- 41:32Speaker 4: been in the SEC before U. For Missouri, they've got
- 41:36Speaker 4: a quarterback that transferred in from Penn State.
- 41:38Speaker 3: He's going to be the guy. Everybody knows. He's the guy.
- 41:40Speaker 4: Text A and M's a question mark Marcell Rena being here.
- 41:43Speaker 4: But for Alabama it's a different one because why is
- 41:46Speaker 4: ty Simpson not here?
- 41:47Speaker 2: Oh?
- 41:47Speaker 4: Because he hasn't separated himself. And I think ty Simpson,
- 41:51Speaker 4: I think Mac who.
- 41:53Speaker 3: Awesome sixty six transferred from Washington.
- 41:57Speaker 4: Was it so like when I think of Mac and
- 41:59Speaker 4: I was about to say, you know, he's a transfer, but.
- 42:02Speaker 3: He's a transfer from them. From him, like he's a
- 42:04Speaker 3: transfer from.
- 42:05Speaker 4: He's got and Ryan Grubb, who's now the offensive coordinator
- 42:09Speaker 4: coming back from being with the Seahawks, Like he's got
- 42:13Speaker 4: a chance. And I know, like we're just tissing some
- 42:16Speaker 4: Tys Simpson and look, keiln. Russell is a five star guy.
- 42:19Speaker 4: He'll have some plays, but I don't think he's going
- 42:21Speaker 4: to be the starter, like Max the guy to watch. Yeah,
- 42:25Speaker 4: because when you accept a transfer from a guy that
- 42:28Speaker 4: you recruited, it was a big get for Washington at
- 42:30Speaker 4: the time too.
- 42:31Speaker 5: It says something that he's going to go across the
- 42:34Speaker 5: country and for Kaitlin to continue to recruit him and
- 42:39Speaker 5: be like, all right, that's a dude that I liked
- 42:41Speaker 5: what he did in high school. I liked what he
- 42:43Speaker 5: did at Washington, and like I'm gonna move get him
- 42:46Speaker 5: to come to the University of Alabama and compete for
- 42:49Speaker 5: the shop. He did not get him to come over
- 42:51Speaker 5: here without the promise of go win the job. Yeah,
- 42:55Speaker 5: like it's out here, you're not going to get the
- 42:57Speaker 5: first look, right, but go win it.
- 42:59Speaker 3: Take it. Make my decision easy.
- 43:00Speaker 5: That's what coach has always said during quarterback competitions. Yeah,
- 43:03Speaker 5: make my decision easy. Yeah, don't make me have to
- 43:05Speaker 5: make a tough decision. I want somebody to go out
