  Speaker 4: Joshua Cribbs was a dog.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: He was really good.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: The only player in the Browns that could score.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And he was a returned Yeah. He was wild because
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: he was not like an electric athlete. He just looked
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: his movements didn't seem like they were really fast. He
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: was kind of stiff, ran up high because he was
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: a taller guy, so he didn't look like he was
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: moving that fast.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: What's his name before they moved him to running back
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: like Corderio Patterson was actually a really good return early.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: In his career. I mean he's what six four two thirty? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: he had some moments, didn't he?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: RISCy Harvin? Was he eat as well? Seahawks Vikings. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: got him more with the Vikings than I did the Seahawks.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know if our sports knowledge like goes back
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: enough to like talk about some of the old heads
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that were returners. So if you got.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Sayers was like a really good billy white shoes. Oh,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Brian Mitchell, how do y'all remember him? Played for the Redskins,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: for the Les He's He's got the most return yards
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: in NFL history.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I would just go, I just go to Prime Time
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: because I grew up watching the Cowboys. So it's like
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I remember, if they never punted it to him, he
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: would always get back there. They would just put it
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: out of bounds, putting out a bounce, punt it out
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: of bounds, and then when they did it was like,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: hold your breath, look.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: At you, hunt, Eric mtcalf, I'm proud of you.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Let's go former charger. So speaking of like.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Darren Sprolls, he's pretty good back there.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Super fast people that are electric when they get the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: ball in their hands, and he has done some returning
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and been pretty good at it. Tyreek Hill's pretty fast
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and kind of in the news right now because this
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: this offseason, he's been doing a lot of different track meets.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Like he's kind of made it public that he wants
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to try to compete in the twenty twenty eight Olympics
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that run one hundred meter dash. So he's been going
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to these different track meets running one hundred meter dashes.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: He's like publicly called out probably like a little bit
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: jokingly called out the gold medalists for it, like no
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Alliles who ran what he ran like a ninety seven
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to two or something like that, which is like, which
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: is smoking car? So I believe this past weekend he
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: ran in a track meet in Texas. Tyreek Hill, professional
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: football player wide receiver, ran a ten to ten one
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: hundred meter, which is his personal best. His previous personal
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: best was a ten to one five earlier in the spring.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So he got a little bit better int and he
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: actually ten.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: One, sorry like if you hear that more commonly.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: So he did beat Noah Lyle's brother. And then so
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: he's coming. I don't know to what end he's trying
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to do this. I know He's made a lot of
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: very uh out there statements about what he's second profession
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: could have been at one point and what he wants
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to do. But yeah, I don't know if he's serious
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: or not. But good lord, a professional wide receiver that
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: doesn't run track full time. It's just really fasten one,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: get out of here.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: That's that's what we call picking him up and putting
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: him down pretty fast. Another track guy inside the chad
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: gets a little mentioned here. Tim Dwight ran track for
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Iowa and then was a legit returner for the Falcons
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: and Chargers.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, I told you all my story.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: The hardest guy for me to tackle was Julian Edelman
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: in the return game.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Just wouldn't I go down. It's like, hey, guy, chill out,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: just get taxed down.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Doing so little and competitive.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Stop being tryhard white guy and just down all right.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Jeez and Pete.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: People felt like when they tackled you, like man, these
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a little boat leg. These they kind of go backwards.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: They just never stopped.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: They just won't touch the ground.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Wes Walker didn't return in the NFL. In college,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: he had the record for a long time.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, in Texas touchdown in NCAA history.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: I'm sitting here looking at Cordero Patterson's numbers because we
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: were talking about him as a returner.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: This is kick return only.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: He's been in the league twelve years and has eighty
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: two hundred return yards and nine touchdowns.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: That's wilde nine touchdownsick returns he has.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: He's only returned to one punt in his NFL career, Like,
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: this is all kick.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Return He's got the most punt returns.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I think it's Devin Hester. We're looking up now, we're
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: angry at angry tapping. We were like airport attendant typing
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: right now. Yeah, uh patter, So it's not great for
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: your boy here.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Patterson has had one thousand kick return yards three times
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: even close.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Devin Hester fourteen?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Metcalf has ten, Brian Mitchell has nine.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Brian Mitchell is the most yards at he couldn't get
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: one more? Four thy n ninety nine yards one more.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Come out of retirement right now? You know who shut
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: down Devin Hester.

  Speaker 2: Thousand and five. Ever heard of it?
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: The only time you didn't suck kidding. There's a there's
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: a time or two after.

  Speaker 2: You. Pretty good guy right here.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Do you remember who the quarterback was in that game
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: going against you?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Sure do? All right? Yeah?
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Who was the number one quarterback?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Number one quarterback in my uh yeah, my signing class.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Remember they moved Devin Hester to running back that game,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: and they kept trying to like get him on a
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: toss sweep and like get him to the edge, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: like Laron and all these guys are like sitting there
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: like waiting on him, like.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, keep doing that, keep doing that. I don't I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: don't remember anything about that game that I wasn't a
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: part of because I was so focused, locked in. Getn't
• 8:20

• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the phone.

  Speaker 4: He always asked.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he ever let you really tell
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: him why. You'd start a sentence, then he would finish
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: it for you. That was the worst feeling. You come
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: off the sideline after a bad play or like a
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: three and out or whatever. You sit down on the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: sideline with you know, whether it's James Coley or uh
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Tracy or whoever it was, and you'd hear that was
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a telephone on the sideline ringing, and you knew based
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: on like even the rings sounded angry. You knew picking
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: it up COLEI or whoever it was was like for you, like,
• 9:05

• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Chefish Jackson, Kyle Williams, Cameron Vaughan.

  Speaker 2: How about a defensive line with Melvin Oliver, Claude Road
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and Kyle Williams on it. It's pretty good and Dorsey
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: it was rotating, decent rotation. And who's alos other end
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: was it? Kirsten probably?

• 10:04
  Speaker 2: three shout out, number one signing class in the country.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: No big deal. Probably not at all because of me. Uh.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Chris of Pittman though, was a true freshman who played
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of people that you don't think of. Played
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: a lot in the three as a true freshman that
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: that defense, and then he was here after us. He
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: had some injuries, he had some injuries, but he was
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: one of the guys that did He got two he
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: got two rings.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: You did as well.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Uh, the's Sean Jordan Xenon, CHRISA. Pittman, Will Arnold,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: who else? Who else is Zinger?
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: Wayne Boo bo did not?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: He went on seven.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Oh no, I just met your three signing class.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, that three signing class. We have some
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: studs Ali, Bruce Sard, Craig Davis, Dwayne bo.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Who rangy guy in the three signing.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Class f jam Mark might have been JaMarcus. This doesn't
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: have stars next to the Jesse Daniels.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: That's a stack class.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: It's a stack class.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: At least you didn't bring your class down like I did.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Patty Fisher Scholarship punter. I remember seeing the highlight films
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: of him like kicking, because we had this, we had
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: this highlight film that they played at the the What
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: was the big the bash. They played that every year
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: like our highlight film. They gave it to all the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: all the recruits that signed, and it was like such
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: a cool highlight film. But Patty Fisher was there punting
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: it and there's like nobody at Maryland football high school
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: football games, and there's nobody in the stands. There's just
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: trees all around him, and he's punting from like his
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: own twenty yard line and just punts it out of
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the stadium into the trees like it looks like justin Vincent,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: what's the highest in this class? He was technically a
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: year ahead, but a gray shirt. I think he counted
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: towards it, but I don't think he counted towards our
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: class during the actual signing day when they like graded.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: But Craig Davis then Craig Davis was he was in
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: a high four store.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Most impressive highlight tape still to this day. Sean Jordan.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Sean Jordan running over these little old passo defenders that
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: were trying to tackle him.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: At arms, No chance.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: He's about four times everybody's size on the field.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Faster, bigger, drunk.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know that we could find a way to
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: pull that up and it'd probably be too grainy to
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: even figure out who is.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: And just remember about Sean Jordan state champion wrestler in Texas.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: He also defeated the Oklahoma state champion in wrestling in
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: high school. Wanted to wrestle in college as well as
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: play football, and uh, you know this day and age
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: or that day and age, there wasn't a lot of
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: access to the old Internet machine.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Certainly enough for Sean.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Like Sean grew up like literally like nl pass so
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: worried about out like football and family and like wasn't
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: online searching things.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think his when he committed, he was
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the sign between US and Nebraska, right.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Because Oklahoma State were one of those one of those
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: that was.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Like a really top wrestling program play football. And then
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: what did Derek Dooley tell him.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Derrek Dooley, the running back coach at the time, told
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Sean that LSU had a wrestling team and that he
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: could do both. He could wrestle and he could play
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: football at LSU. What Derek Dooley forgot to add to
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the wrestling team was it was a club wrestling team
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: that you could do for fun and not for actual competition.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: And again Sean didn't know any better, and you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: it wasn't it wasn't something you could easily find. And
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: so Sean committed to LSU based off that information, and
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: he didn't find out there wasn't a wrestling team until
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: he got to campus. And you might be like, well,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: he didn't talk to the coach. I never talked to
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Jimbo or Derrek Dooley in my recruiting. I only talk
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: to Kirk Dahl and coach Saban.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: That was it. It was a different time back then.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I guess technically not a lie from Douley, a little
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: bit of an embellishment as a club wrestling, but certainly
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you'd think there might be a follow up question to
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Duley on it, and maybe I take a visit see
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: the wrestling tights or anything like what color of the tights?
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: You know though? You know Sean, Oh yeah, oh yeah,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 14:25

• 25:34
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's right, too gritty to be pretty all right.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: We got to hear this information though, because you started
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: at like two different times, we were like left on
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: a cliffhanger there, Matt Flann first time media day. LSU's
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: right out of the gates too, as you know, they
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: are the first team there, so he doesn't have time
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: to ease into this any advice.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: Head on a swivel.
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: The amount of media that covers this thing is unbelievable.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: I mean it really is, like it is truely been
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: to other media days and did to. I used to
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: go to Big ten media days every single year. But
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: the amount of SEC media that is at this thing
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: that will care about Talking season this.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: Much will still be really hard to process. So at
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: least it was for me the very first.
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: Time, and just knows will be flying. I mean, the
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: amount of things that you will hear over the course
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: of the week. I'm sure you know a friend of
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: the program, Roman Harper is gonna tell us why like
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: South Carolina is going undefeated this year or.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: Something like that.
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: You know, these are these are the types of things
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: that are unfold during talking season in the SEC. Uh,
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: nobody does it quite like the conference where it does
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: just mean more.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: So Connor is this so I'm getting warnings from everybody
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: a heads up, like, you, man, you're gonna be there
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: all day. You're gonna get pulled in a lot of
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: different directions, ask asked. Everybody's gonna ask you to be
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: on their show. But that's just kind of how it goes.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: But is this kind of like a like a red
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: light green light frat sorority party, where like I got
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: like a necklace or something, hit the green if I'm available,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: flip into red if like don't talk to me right,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: like do not disturb button.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, something like that would be really good.
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: I've actually never done something quite like that, But that's
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: that's actually a really good idea because the amount of
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: times that I've had to like go in my phone
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: and be like, hey, what do I have at ten
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: thirty on this day?
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: I got to figure this out that that's actually really smart.
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: Then you send that message to the rest of the world,
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: just just letting them know, maybe hat forward or backwards.
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: I know, hester you're a big hat guy at media days.
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: You know, depending on which way you have it, I'm
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: not sure if you want to go to the side
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: full fresh prince of bel air, but whatever needs to
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: be done to let people know that you're available, you're
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: not available, because you're exactly right, you will be pulled
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: in every single direction at all times. You kind of
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: just show up at what seven thirty whatever it is
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: that you guys got to be there to be able
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: to get your show going, and then by the time
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: you sign off at like I don't know, five, six
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: o'clock whatever it is, you're like, wait.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: What did I do today?
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I've been talking for the last nine hours NonStop
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: on different stations. It's just kind of the name of
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: the game, four day grind, and we embrace all of it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. I do like having the fact
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: that I can be like, oh.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I would do the interview, I gotta go do the
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: other show that, which is true.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Which is true.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I got four hours of another show, so I'm doing
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: seven every single day. But I kind of avoid the
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: car wash because I got to get to the other show.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: And you know, it's a good excuse to have.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: It really is. And look, if you're antisocial, this is
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: not the event for you. It's just not.
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: There is a certain standard that you're just gonna be talking,
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: and you'll be talking with other people that are very
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: very close to you that will you'll probably hear something
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: that's like three or four feet away from you at
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: another table, and you'll be like, wait a minute, that's
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: just totally threw me off to hear this person say
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: that Billy Napier is gonna get fired in week four
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: and then you kind of have to just regroup and
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: just and just keep it rolling.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: But this is the hand that we play.
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: The good news is that it means college football is
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: almost here, and that's forward to above all else. That
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: SEC Media Day is being able to see everybody you
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: know that college football is you know, five six weeks away,
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: depending on when we wrap this thing up.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Oh man, this, uh this sounds like a squirrel seer's
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: like worst nightmare right here. People talking close, distracting, So
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like an infamous diagnosed squirrel seer over here. So
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, it'll be entertaining us. It'll be must see
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: TV for sure. If they just have like a camera
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: following me the whole time, I'm sure it'd be like
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: a roller coaster of emotions happening. But let's dive into
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: the SEC talk about Let's just get a broad stroke
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: overview of leading into the season, kind of what your
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: thoughts are on the top teams and how if we're
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: no predict predictions or anything, but just the beginning of
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the season with the top teams.
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: Well, my my prediction for the past month has been
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: LSU National championship. So I realize where I'm saying this
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: and we're on the record, we get it on the
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: record early, just by the time that's And that's the
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: other thing is I like going into SECBD days knowing
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: how I feel about specific teams so that I'm not
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: just you know, gassing everybody up and saying that everybody's
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: gonna win at least nine ten games, because lord knows
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: that can't happen. But I do think that there will
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: be a sense of urgency for the SEC contenders because
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: no matter who you are, you can spin.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: It as we're right there.
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: And I wonder how that's going to impact a team
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: like Georgia, which you know, coming off of consecutive years
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: in which it missed the College Football Playoffs semi finals
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: after being the preseason number one. How much is that
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: reflected with the offseason that they've had, with the portal
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: urgency that they've had. What about a team like Texas
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: that is the only team in college football the consecutive
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: semi finals heading into this year, how much is that
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: sense of urgency there, even though everybody's going to be
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: talking about the start of the Arch Manning era. And
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: then a team like Alabama that everybody is pointing and
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: laughing at. Everybody's calling their shot, whether they're Thomas Castellanos
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: or Diego Pavia.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: You don't have to be.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Five foot ten to call out Alabama apparently anymore. And
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: I could say that because.
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: I'm five eight, But there are just a lot of
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: people that are saying, hey, now is the time for
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: Kailen de bor to show that he is capable of
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: being the Nick Saban successor in Tuscaloosa. So I do
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: think that sense of urgency is going to be really
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: interesting to see from all these programs that, look, you
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: don't have to spin it in some weird way, you
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: were on the outside looking in of a national championship
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: and in the SEC that's more than enough to be able.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: To kind of get the fire started in the offseason.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Connor, who takes the biggest step back from where they
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: were a year ago, and who takes the biggest step forward.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: You know, there's part of me that wants to say
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: ole Miss takes the biggest step back, But I think
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: that's a little bit unfair because I'm an Austin Simmons believer.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: I do think that if you put he into a
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: tongue Ba Lowa in the same room together, you wouldn't
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: be able, even though there is a little bit of
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: a height difference, but both lefties and I swear they
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: have to be related in some way, shape or form.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: And the fact that this is a guy that is.
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: Nineteen years old who has already graduated college is just
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: an absurd thing. And I do think that defense is
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: going to regress this year. So, oh, this is kind
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: of the obvious candidate. But South Carolina might be a
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: little bit more obvious, even though they have the thing
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: that they have lacked in so many years, which is
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: the returning stud quarterback. And you've got a guy on
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: the defensive side of the ball and Dylan Stewart that
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: might be one of the ten best defensive players coming
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: back in college football this year.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: But go ask twenty twenty two Alabama.
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: What it's like when you have that stud edge rusher
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: and that unbelievable quarterback. You can have those two things
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: working in your favor and have all this it's really
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: difficult if you don't have that complete team. And as
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: we know twenty twenty two, Alabama did not make it
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: back to the College Football Playoff that year with Bryce
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: Young and Will Anderson. So I think that South Carolina
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: is the team that is probably most likely to regress,
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: just because I think they played at such an absurd
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: out of body level during the latter half of last season.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they got a got a really great guy
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: under center as well, So I kind of want to
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: switch over to the quarterbacks because I'm always going to
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: lean heavy on the quarterback. We all know you can
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: have a great team in the world, but if you
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: don't have a guy under center calling the plays, directing
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the offense, then your odds of winning championships at least
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: go down significantly. So we got a lot of top
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: guys in the SEC that are in the short list
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: for the preseason Heisman ranking. So a lot of returners,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: but we always know that there is somebody that doesn't
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: get the preseason high. Maybe a newcomer in the quarterback
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: rooms at some school that busts out and has a
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: bust out year. Is there anybody like that that you
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: see in the SEC that's coming here.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of buzzbout Ty Simpson.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: Now maybe Ty Simpson is too obvious, but somebody that
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: hasn't started at the college level, that was a former
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: five star recruit who's now entering year four at Alabama,
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: who's stuck with that coaching staff. Maybe he's the guy
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: that kind of emerges that he's not going to be
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: in these way too early top five quarterbacks. I'm fascinated
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: by Marcel Reed too at Texas A and m a
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: guy that is kind of in that maybe second or
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: even third tier depending on what you look at. And
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: in Collin Klein offense, I'm really bullish they returned that
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: entire offensive line. This is a ground game that if
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: they can get Leveon Moss back coming off the torn
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: acl that he suffered at South Carolina last year, this
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: could be one of the best ten ground games in.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: All of college football.
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: There's a lot of hype for Ruben Owens, who was
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: hurt last year and then return late in the season.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Marcel Reid is a guy that you should not sleep on.
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: Especially if Casey concepts you own steps in from NC
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: State and is that go to receiver that he looked
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: like he was as a true freshman a couple.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Of years ago.
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: A and M is a team that look nobody's gonna
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: sit here in Pennsyland A and M to get to
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: an SEC championship. That's a program that has not played
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: in a conference championship game in the twenty first century,
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: not just since they've joined the SEC. But I think
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: Marcel Reid is so so intriguing because the pieces around
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: him are really, really favorable and he's kind of being
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: slept on as that guy that, oh you know what,
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: he's not necessarily in that top tier, but he showed
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: a lot of in that first year. I guess if
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: we can even call it that as a starter. In
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: College Station.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Connor, we were talking earlier about Missoo, and it feels
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: like we're not having a Missoo conversation.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: Nobody is good, bad, or indifferently.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Nobody's talking about Missouri And if you look over the
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: last four years, they've been one of the most consistent
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: programs in the SEC.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: You know, I love my guy.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Drink, but like the Golden Age, of Missouri football. Luther
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Burden and Brady Cook and Theowese and Cody Schrader, all
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: those guys are now gone.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: That's that's just the offensive guys.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Not even talking about the first round picks they've had
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: on defense.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Why are we not talking about Missouri?
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: Well, I mentioned this too, I think was last week.
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: Their schedule is a joke. Their schedule for an SEC schedule.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: Guys, look at this.
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: You don't see a single team on that schedule that
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: won ten games last year. They don't game until Week eight.
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: How in this year of college football, is that even
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: possible that they don't have a road game until week
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: eighty yet like they have one game a non bordering state.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: Their schedule is just weird.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: It's just really weird.
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: And look, people gave Indiana a lot of craft last year.
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: As an Indiana grad, I had it to kind of
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: take it on the chin. For that schedule, Indiana was
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: playing the two teams that played in the previous national championship.
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: You look at Miszoo's schedule and if Missoo is all
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: of a sudden in contention in November, we're going to
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: have these conversations and Greig sayk he's gonna be going,
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: wait a minute, I did all this campaigning about how
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: difficult SEC schedules are, and you look up at Missoo's
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: and you're kind of like, wait a.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Minute, that ad.
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: Is as manageable as it gets for an SEC slate,
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: and you're seeing that divide because there are a lot
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: of teams in the SEC that obviously don't have that benefit.
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: A team like Arkansas has one of the most college
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: football Florida as well, I've put in that category, but Miszoo,
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: we could be talking about him a lot more if
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: they're able to navigate what is a really, really favorable
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: start to their schedule. Obviously, Bo Prabuela has got to
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: be that dude coming over from Penn State. And if
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: Amad Hardy looks every bit as good as he was
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: last year when he was a thirteen hundred yard rusher
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: at Louisian, I'm in row, we'll be having those conversations
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: about this Missoo team not having any sort of big
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: time regression.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Connor, I can't tell you how much I'm rooting against
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Missouri because the guy across the table from me cannot
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: stop talking about them. It's all he talks about outside
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: of LSU. So I'm going to ask you, like a
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: question that's gonna makes.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I fall in love with one team like that.
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: Every it's usually Kentucky can't be that team right now,
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: Like Kentucky can still further notice they're they're on the
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: back burner. You can't fall in love with kind of
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: the off season vibes that we've seen.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Like, so, I'm gonna piss my partner off over here
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: because I'm asking about another school outside of LSU besides Missouri.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Let's let's take a look at Oklahoma last year two
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: seven in the conference, Like at the bottom of the list,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: at towards the botto of the list in the SEC.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: What is now there? Now they're coming in the twenty
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: twenty five and one of the top hardest schedules in
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: the SEC. What kind of emphasis do they have? What
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: kind of pressure do they have to perform and perform
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: early for a fan base that expects to at least
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: be in contention for a conference championship.
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's a really difficult team to evaluate because
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: part of me that says, man, if it hits right
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: this year, Oklahoma is a playoff team, and I was
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: saying that last year.
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: But there's also this this.
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: Lingering doubt when it comes to Brent Veennables evaluating an
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: offense and the decisions that he's made, most notably normaled
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: over Dylan Gabriel, who was not exactly holding Oklahoma with
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: what he was asking for before he ultimately hit the
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: portal and went to Oregon and became a Heisman finalist.
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: There's a sense that if Brent Ventables gets the offense
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: wrong again, it's curtains and that a program like Oklahoma,
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: which does not have to pay head coach buyouts, has
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: not had to be willing to pay you know, thirty five,
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: thirty seven million dollars, I can't remember what the exact
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: number is for Brent Fennibles and to move on now.
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: There is an expectation that John Mattier can be that
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: dude though, And you know, I had his coach, Jake Dicker,
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: who was his coach at Washington State. I had him
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: on my show a couple of weeks ago, and he's like,
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: I think he's the best player in college football, which
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: is a wild thing to hear a guy say, considering
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: the way that it kind of played out with both
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: of those guys leaving Washington State. But Ja Mattier is
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: sort of this ultimate wild card in the SEC, and
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: if the pieces around him, with an improved offensive line,
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: with dian Burg's coming back, a receiver that I'm really
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: high on, should do really good things out of the
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: slot there. If their offense is son You're like, wait
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: a minute, you're gonna pair that with the Brent Fennables defense.
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: That team, that team can handle itself in the SEC,
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: and that team can win nine games. But it's all
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: gonna come down to how they manage that offense. They
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: gotta stay healthier than they were last year when just
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: a rash of injuries hit them before the calendar even
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: turned October. But Oklahoma is one of these teams, man
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: that I think we kind of have to throw out
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: the twenty tens of expectations for them. As proud as
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: they are and understand this is a new world that
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: they're dealing with and coming off the year that they had.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: Last year, they have a huge, huge hurdle to overcome
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: this year.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: Are there?
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: He is Connor Ugera Saturday down South. I mean just
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: couldn't get him on the phone. He didn't give up
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: too gritty to be pretty jumped on the zoom. We
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: can appreciate that, Connor, looking forward to seeing you in
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: a couple.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Of weeks, brother, John M. I appreciate it. I don't
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: know why you need to call me out about Misseri.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: I can't. I can't like Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: That's what you call a radio pro Transition to another question.

  Speaker 3: young quarterback.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Especially with a you don't know any coach and a
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: new young coach you don't know any better. Yeah, we
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: tend to forget because we look at, you know, the
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: the injuries they had last year and how bad it
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: kind of was, how ugly it looked last year. You
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: tend to forget that going to the off season. You
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: want to say, man, it's not going to be good.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: We don't have the answers here there's a question mark there.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: We got a young quarterback, new coach, what are we
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: gonna do? Blah blah blah blah. You tend to forget
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: that there's a roster full of NFL football players on
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: that team, and they're all pretty damn good. So you
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: never really know what to expect. Every single year, whether
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: it's high school, college, NFL, no matter what, there's always
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: somebody something that surprises you. So the question has to
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: be asked, why not the Saints.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: I'm intrigued with all the new intrigued with the quarterback
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: competition obviously, But you said it like, you have a
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: young head coach, you have a innovative, young head coach.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: You have somebody that has been in multiple places, kind
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: of found himself in multiple offenses, and what can he
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: take from each offense that he's been a part of.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: He's had different quarterbacks like Dak Prescott's never going to
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: be confused for Justin Herbert.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Justin Herbis is never going to be confused for Jalen Hurst.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Jalen Hurst is never going to be confused for whoever
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: wins the Saints job. And I think that's a positive
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: for Kelli more than the fact that he's been successful
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: with three different types of quarterbacks.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: And it's pretty positive. Like all the things that we're
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: hearing from the reports, whether it's from Nick or reporters
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: or you know, Scott the quarterbacks coach, like everything seems
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: really positive. And what I like about it is you
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: do have this young coaching staff, but they like they
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: are young, open offensive coaching staff that is going to
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: maneuver this offense around the talent. They're not going to
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: move the talent around their offense, right, They're going to
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: build it around the talent, which is really cool. And
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: that's what you see with these young coaches and these
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: guys that know no ball have been around, like you said,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: around a lot of different types of talent, a lot
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: of different types of quarterback. So that could be really exciting.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: We could be better than people are giving us credit for.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: I just said us, look at me, whoa, whoa.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: You did get paid by them.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Though, that's true last time I ever put on. But
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: then you look on the defensive side of the ball,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: A lot of questions there, but you have an x
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: NFL head coach running the defense and who has been
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: a successful defensive coordinator of the passage why he got
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: the job as a head coach. Yeah.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: I mean he was successful early on as a head coach,
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: and that thing went sideways on him quick.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: There's a few bad decisions, maybe too much in the
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: analytics game, little.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: Aggressive, little aggress little agressive.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Some of those fourth down, Hey, every possession ends and
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: up go forward and miss it failed for every failed fourth.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: We had Jimbo and we should have said, hey, coach,
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: every possession ins in.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: And you think I just said it?
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Yeah, Ted toughness after discipline, Ted, Nick.
