• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Um, so yeah hopefully they can air it out a couple times.

• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Well, you said well, listen, I'm, I'm in the front.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I'm in the front seat with also.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: We already called, he's driving.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know this is gonna be, I think of Celebration of the program today.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it should be celebrate the really done.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: To be honest, rallofa ballers in my DNA through and through.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I've seen some great coaches the Kim Rayl era, the village oh era.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Which was my favorite and I just said was Because up until this year I was always a big Billy Joe Goldcoats offense fan.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm, because high school offense doing those times you had to outscore family.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: But now I didn't grew up in the Jake, get the arrow to Rudy Hubbard.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: None of that, yeah.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So for me my favorite coaching of all time now is Willie Simmons, because I compared this team to the 98 team.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: This team better than the 98 team.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Had a better, better defense.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: The 98 team scored more points.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I've had more stats and stuff, but all around this is a better team.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: This is the best team since 1978 when they won the national championship.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Well, it's 19 in a row.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: This makes it 20 today.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this might be the best rattle team, and I'm gonna say 20 in a row at Bragg's day and hands down.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say it now and I know I might get some slack because it was some great rattle of teams with the go-kart offense, which was my favorite, the Pat Bonobos was my favorite.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: But man, let me tell you, coach shotgun and this show guns.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: They need to come out best, they the best.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Well, let's don't don't count them chickens before they hatch, man it's.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You gotta take care of business and you gotta respect the the opponent, as coach Simmons would tell you.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And it starts.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You gotta shut down that running game.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: They got two backs that 100 yards Amade and tone and Caleb Johnson, both both told the rock a lot, both over 90 carries each, both over 400 yards but it's hard to talk that rock when you run it through doc clouds, right, so you got to see what the weather.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You want to see that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: And then for the rattlers, you want to see him to be.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Hopefully that Musa can get the ball to Marcus Riley and and charade on the edge.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, those guys have been able to come through all year.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Nobody liked Xavier, but Xavier's a one.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that was you guys.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was you.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: That was you the X-man.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: But Huge game and then, and then it's the celebration bowl.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then when and what happens to the FCS playoff?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It would have been.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It would have been great to see this team going to the playoffs, but it's also great to see him go to the bowl game, go to the celebration bowl and to do it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Because Coach Prime with the celebration bowl.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: That's right, that's what you do.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: He never got a W out of the celebration bowl, so hopefully, coach.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Simmonds gets that W and I predict him to get that W.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Listen, I'm gonna just say it now.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Man, coach Simmonds for president, hey, he's the one for president, coach Simmonds, man, you got it all.
