  Speaker 3: So let's go ahead and bring in our good friend,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Rafael Esparza, who you can find at VSL.Sports. Esparza, happy
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: football eve. Now, I know we played week zero, but
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: this is really like Christmas Eve.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: It is. I'm really excited because some really, really good matchups,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: including starting tomorrow. And I want to bash when your
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: plays right now, if you want to put your plays
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: on the board, you have Colorado Georgia tech game going
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: over 50 and a half. I was just writing these
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: notes down for another show. I got to do tomorrow morning.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: 75% of the money coming in on that game is
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: not under at 50 and a half. And you figure
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: if you're Georgia tech, you want to kind of run
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: the ball and See what Colorado's defense is going to
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: look like. Even though I think their defense is going
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: to be much improved than last year, Colorado. I'm really excited.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: And I do believe this number comes down to six.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: There's a bunch of six and a half out there.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: This one was seven, seven and a half when numbers
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: first came over. And it's just been all Buffs money
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: as of right now. So it wouldn't shock me if
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: it goes to six. Now, if it keeps on dropping,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: I might have to take a shot at the Yellow
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Jackets on that one.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Hey, let me ask you this as far as Deion Sanders.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: How big a year is this for him? I think
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: we might have talked about this. I saw a stat
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: the other day that since he started coaching at Colorado,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: 65% of the viewing public that was in on him,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: they're out on him.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a big night for him tomorrow night.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: It is a big night, but at the same time,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I think I said this on your show a couple
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: weeks ago. If he doesn't have a good showing and
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Novella and Florida State doesn't have a good showing, you
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: know who's going to come down to Florida State? Maybe
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Deion Sanders. But I like what he did this year
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: on a transfer portal at NIL. He didn't go for names.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: He went for, okay, who's going to play my system?
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Bring in a new defensive coordinator. I think the defense
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: is going to be the reason why This Buffs team
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: hangs around. Their total season wins four and a half.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying they're going to win six, seven games,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: go to a bowl game or something like that. But
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I think they're going to be much improved. And if
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: they can be just much improved, then I think the
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: fan base will continue to support him and stay there.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: But if he doesn't, let's say if he goes under
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: that four and a half, you might be seeing him
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: doing a tomahawk shot.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: No, there is no doubt about it. All right.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: What other games tomorrow night are you interested in? I mean, obviously,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: we've got some snoozers on all the days. You know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Sunday's great. Monday's great. Saturday, we've got some really good intrigue. Friday,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: there's a couple I want to ask you about. But
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: what other games tomorrow night are you looking at?
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, maybe UAB, Illinois. That could be very intriguing
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: if UAB can establish the run and keep Illinois' offense
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: off the field. I mean, this number's pretty stagnant. Opened
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: up at 27.5. Continues to be 27.5. There's no really
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: line movement on it at all. So I was hoping
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: to maybe get a little more points on the Dragons
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: or the Blazers of UAB. So... I want to keep
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: an eye out for that one, but let's face it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: I think Friday's games are much, it's just pretty much
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Georgia tech. And I think Colorado is what everybody wants
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: to watch. Everything else is what 25 points or higher.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Let's move to Friday. We see some weird things. We've
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: talked about this on Friday. Can't really quantify it. It's
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: one of those, you know, things out in the ether,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: so to speak, Miami has to travel to Stanford and
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Mario crystal ball has been prone to, you know, I
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: call it crystal ball and, you know, kind of crystal
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: ball this thing and just, mess it up.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Any chance that he, you know, hits under the number,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: maybe really whiffs this game. Maybe Stanford upsets him on Friday.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Well, let's see. One team has played already and the
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: other team hasn't played already. And I like that trend.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, even though it's only hit like 56% of
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: the time, teams who have played, they're going into their
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: second game against teams who are playing their first game.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: You usually bet the team have already had a game
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: under their belt. Like I said, it's only hit 56%
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: of the time. So it's not a big moneymaker, but
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: that's a huge difference. I'm not saying Stanford's going to
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: win the game, but I think they can stay in
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: front and hang around this game because Game one is
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: just like NFL. Week one is preseason week four. So
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: anything can happen in college football week one. But this
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: is going to be a very intriguing game. Stanford got
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: lucky last week. If you're Hawaii better from last week,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: you're still drinking right now and how they lost the
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: game and how they didn't cover that game.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Let's look at a couple more. I was scrolling through
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: here looking. There's a line I don't have.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Toledo and Michigan State. Michigan State is a 10-point favorite.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: That total sits somewhere around 46-and-a-half. I think from my play,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: let me look over here and pull this up real quick.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I'll put this on the board. Michigan State, Toledo, under 46-and-a-half.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Your thoughts on that? And then, of course, look, Toledo
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: very well could hang.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Around in that game.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Toledo, what does Toledo like to do year in and
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: year out? Run the ball. That's what they're known for.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: They always have big offensive linemen. I don't know where
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: they find them in Toledo, but they always have a
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: really good offensive lineman. That's why they get able to
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: run the ball. And that's why this total opened up
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: at 49, and now it's 46 and a half. There's
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: a couple 47s. Make sure you shop around. So, yeah,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: I totally understand if I was playing this game. That's
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: what I would look at. Michigan State, you know, they're
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: going to bring their defense and Toledo, you know, they're
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: going to run the ball.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Fresno State, USC.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I don't think Fresno State is in any position to,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: to beat USC. That totals at 51 and a half.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: That lines at 21 and a half. I think I
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: did put this on the board. I think I went
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: ahead and said the over just because, or did I
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: put this one?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe I left this one off.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: No, you got it. You got it out there. There
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Over the 51 and a half, just because I think
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: USC is going to score, score some points.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley, He's got an axe to grind.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: He knows that his scalp is kind of out there.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Now he's facing backlash because of the fan support last
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: week versus San Jose State.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And Fresno's liable to throw a couple touchdowns on the board.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you called it because Luke Weaver, the quarterback for
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: San Jose State, he looked like a freshman quarterback in
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: high school, first two quarters. In the second half, he
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: looked like the Heisman Trophy winner. So if he was
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: able to put up 21 points unanswered all in the
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: second half against a USC defense, then I think Fresno
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: could probably put up 10, maybe 14 points on the board.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: And you called it. If you want to get fans
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: in the stands, you run up the score. You put
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: up a 60 against a Fresno State team. I know
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Fresno State is not a big 10 team or an
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: elite mountain West team, but there are still D one team.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: There's still, they're not an FCS school. So if you
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: can put up a lopsided score, I think that we'll
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: get the fan base in here. And I do, I
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: do like to over in this one. I'm hoping it
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: continues to drop because it has dropped a little bit.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Any words of advice for the betting public out there
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: experienced or not, maybe they're, you know, beginners, novice, whatever
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: you want to call it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: A lot of big lines this week. A lot of.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Unknowns because of the transfer portal. Maybe lean more towards
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: the totals.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Stay away from some of these. I mean, you look
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: at some of these.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I would never play this, but Army is favored by 37.5
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: over Bryant. I know you could break it down, but
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I don't expect you to do that. Indiana, 40.5 over
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: North Texas.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Man, there's some big lines out there.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the Indiana game is very intriguing because they're bringing
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: in a new quarterback. Everyone's shining quarterback that they wanted
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: to come to their school, but he chose. I can't
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: believe I'm going to say this. He chose Indiana instead
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: of some of these bigger schools. So Indiana is going
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: to be very interesting. I'm going to be watching that
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: just because they have a lot of new faces. They
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: have a lot of faces that went to the NFL
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: and now they're being replaced by either trans reporter people
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: or money that they had to pay to bring someone
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: to replace them. So I'm really intrigued in this Indiana.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: But what I've been telling people on week one, what
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: is week one in? It's a holiday weekend. So it's
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: a holiday weekend. You might be drinking a little bit more.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: So be very cautious with your bets on week one
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: because a lot of big spreads out there. So be
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: very cautious. Treat this like Christmas. Like, you know, a
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: preseason game in NFL or something like this where you
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: don't want to dump all your money on week one, September,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: was it September 5th, over the weekend and stuff like that.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: So you'd be very cautious with this. And I'll give
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: you a stat right here. Kirby Smart, Georgia, who I
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: have playing Oregon National Championship, has a huge favorite 30.5
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: points or more. He's 0-15 against the spread. Wow.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: 0-15.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Now, correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't Nick Saban have
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a similar number against the spread?
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: And maybe it's the style of play. Those coaches typically,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: and I say those, Smart, Saban, they were never just
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: run-you-out-of-the-building type of coaches, right? I mean, if they're playing
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: an inferior opponent, they're going to get up, take the
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: starters out, and it's kind of just crew.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree on that one. But there's one thing
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: I want to mention before I head off. It's stuff
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: like Diggs. I know you have great guests. We need
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: to talk to the elephant in the room of college football.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: What you got?
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: We need to talk about the game that everyone's going
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: to be watching on Saturday night. And that's LSU playing
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Saturday night against Clemson. Now, this is totally reminding me
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: of when Tom Brady won Super Bowls for New England.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: And I was working in sportsbooks. And we would get
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: crushed every Sunday because everyone would be betting Tom Brady
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: and he over. Patriots and over. Patriots over. And you
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: know why they were betting it? It's not because they
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: were the best team. It's because hatred money was coming
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: in on New England. And it was dropping New England's
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: line down. And so now you're getting a better line.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: We're going to see that this year for LSU. There's
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: so much hatred all around college football because of what
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: they're trying to do. Are they going to do? I'm
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: hearing a hearing is probably going to come out tomorrow.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: But if that happens and they say they didn't get
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: kicked out of the SEC, which I don't think they
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: will be, there's going to be so much hatred money
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: coming in on the Bayou Bengals. If you like LSU,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: this might be the perfect year to bet them because
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: you're going to get so much different line movement because
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: of hatred money coming in than money that's moving a
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: number because they think they have a trend that's maybe
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: going to cash.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Who do you like in the game? And, yeah, I
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: want to go through.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: We've got about 10 minutes left because if you've got
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: 10 minutes to spare until we get.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Rob in here. I've been trying to tell that to people.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Be very cautious with this game now because every time
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I read something about LSU and Kiffin, it just reminds
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: me back in the day of when Patriots were just
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: winning Super Bowls or winning games. It's the hatred money.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: It's the hatred money effect. And if you go to
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Vegas and talk to an odds maker, ask them what
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: hatred money. And they're going to say, oh, Tom Brady
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: and the Patriots.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: That's fascinating. So I like Clemson. Give me Clemson plus 10.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Am I crazy? I mean, look, Davo's coming in. He
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: has nothing to lose. He's going to rally the troops
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: for whatever that's worth, you know, until kickoff. Hey, it's
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: us against the world. Can they take this game into
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter?
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: It depends if these kids, and I'm still going to
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: call them kids, even though they're gazillionaires and have more
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: money than I am. I'm still going to call them kids.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: How are they handling all this press? And how are
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: they handling, you know, everyone's talking about it. Everyone's asking
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: them when they're supposed to go to class or when
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: they're out and about. People are asking how they're going
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: to handle the heat. Not only the heat in the stadium,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: because it's supposed to be really humid still in Baton Rouge,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: but how are they going to handle all this heat? So, yeah,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: I can see the 10F. For me, I ain't touching
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: this game. There's no way. I am touching this game.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Now am I going to be rooting for Clemson? I
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: have a Clemson hat that Clemson sent me. I'm going
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: to be wearing it because I would love to see
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: LSU go down because what's going to happen? Let's say
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Clemson goes to Baton Rouge first game and they beat LSU.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: What's going to happen then? I think SEC would keep
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: them just for they can laugh at them.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: There is no doubt, and I can tell you this.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: You know how numbers, they'll show, hey, games peaked at this,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: this level, second quarter, third quarter. If Clemson goes in
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: the fourth quarter and they're within, say, 10 points or
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: a touchdown, that television number is going to absolutely go
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: through the roof.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: I agree. I think it's going to be one of
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: the biggest viewed games of all Labor Day weekend of
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: college football just because you have the hatred of what's
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: going on. You have Kiffin. You have the duel between
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Stadavo and Kiffin. They never liked each other. So I
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: don't know why people are making a big deal. It's
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: not like this hatred just started. They never liked each other.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's move on to, uh, Auburn versus Baylor, DJ Lagway,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Dave Aranda.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: They've hitched the wagon together. You know, they both need
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: a big year. Aranda needs him to have a big
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: year to survive. Lagway obviously wants to show that he
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: is what everybody thought he was two years ago. They
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: go down to the Plains or go over to Atlanta
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: to play Auburn. Auburn forfeited their home game. Not a
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: lot of people happy with John Cohen, the athletics director
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: about that. Just giving up all that money that you
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: generate 30 million, 20 million, whatever it is.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: On a, on a sec weekend. Um, Byron Brown, new quarterback,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: new coach, and Alex Golas. Who do you like in
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: this one?
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I'm going to lean towards Auburn in this one. I
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: think Baylor's going to take a small step backwards from
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: last year. So I think Auburn comes off, and they
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: need this win. I mean, you said it. I think
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: W's are going to forget about money. And if you
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: can win and beat a Big 12 team like Baylor
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: on week one, people are going to forget about you
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: forfeiting that home game. I like Auburn in this game.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame takes on Wisconsin in Green Bay.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I saw the day where a lot of the talking
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: heads for the four-letter at ESPN, a lot of them
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: picked Notre Dame to win the national title.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Their schedule is favorable. We've talked about that.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Week one, do they look like a national championship contender
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: and run Wisconsin out of the building, or do the
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Badgers hang around?
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Hoping they run out Wisconsin because I played Finkel to
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: be the first head coach fired, so that would be
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: fantastic for me in this one. I think... I think
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Wisconsin can hang around the number. I don't think they're
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: going to keep this close. But if you're in Notre Dame,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: you're listening to everybody. You're listening to the four-letter word saying, okay,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: we're going to win the national championship. But you're also
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: hearing everyone say your schedule is cupcakes. So if you
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: have a cupcake schedule, then you better win by 25-plus
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: or more all those cupcake games. And I think they
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: should do against Wisconsin, which is going to be a struggling,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: struggling team all season.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Hey, what are you looking to see out of Alabama
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: versus East Carolina? I know they're a pretty big favorite, 21-and-a-half.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Keylon Russell, the new quarterback. What do you look for
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: in a game like this?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Looking for their offensive line because their offensive line stunk
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: last year. If they can run the ball, if they
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: can push people around like we normally see Alabama do,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: then I think Alabama would be in a perfect place.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: I think Alabama could win some games that we didn't
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: think they could win, and they might be in that
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: talk with Georgia. If they don't, if they can't win–
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: in the trenches, then I think it's going to be
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: a very long season for Alabama. I think they're going
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: to be okay this year. I like the new quarterback,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: and I like what the run game should do. Now,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: should do is all based on that offensive line.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss, Louisville. I'm excited about this. I know most
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: of the state of Mississippi is excited about this.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, not most of you. I
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: was going to correct you on that one.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the deal. In this state, if you're an
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss fan, you're fired up. If you're a Mississippi
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: State fan, you're pulling for Louisville in the game. Seven,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: seven and a half, depending on where you shop it around.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Of course, you can play it at my book. You
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: use the promo code patio and get you a sign-up
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: bonus if you've never played. But when you look at
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: this game, Louisville won nine games last year. They lost
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: three by three points or less. That's a good football team.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Jeff Brom's a good football coach. They're breaking into the quarterback.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Can Louisville scare the daylights out of Ole Miss?
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: I hate breaking in a new quarterback scenario in this
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: game because I think Louisville's a sleeper to win. Their conference.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: I think they have a lot of good guys in there.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Their defense flies around. They don't miss tackles like we
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: see a lot of schools do in week ones. I
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: don't think we're going to see this from Louisville. It's
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: going to be a close game. I think in the
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: second half is when Mississippi, in their experience, maybe flexes
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: their muscles. I could see them covering. I'm hoping it
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: drops down to six. I don't like the six and
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: a half.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: And, of course, SMU taking on Florida State. I like
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Kevin Jennings, the quarterback at SMU. He took them to
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: the college football playoff two years ago. Didn't play well
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: at Happy Valley. Penn State kind of ran them out
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: of that building. He comes back after a year where
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: he was injured. They've got a really good team at SMU.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Florida State, Mike Norvell, you talked about Fickle being on
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: the hot seat.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, if Norvell loses this one this weekend, oh, goodness. Boy,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: that thing's really going to get hot down there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think so. But I thought they were
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: really going to flex their muscles last week and just
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: blow them out and show, hey, you know what? We're
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: going to be around. But they struggled in the second half.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: They had some bad turnovers, gave up a lot of
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: big yardage on big plays. And you just said it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: SMU is going to experience quarterback that's played against some
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: big schools. So I can see SMU. I don't want
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: to say they're going to win this game, but I
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: think the Seminoles are going to be very, very nervous
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: in the second half.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Let me grab a couple more here for you. Cal
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: versus UCLA. I took the under 53 and a half.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: You know, you look at some of the pundits out there.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: A lot of people are looking at Cal saying, hey,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: this is a team. They got a really good quarterback.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: They could really be a salty team in the ACC.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: UCLA with Nico Amaliava trying to, you know, really get
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: back into playing football, so to speak. This could be a,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: reminds me of a, it is an old Pac-12 showdown here.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I couldn't agree more. This is why am I watching
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Boise State in the Pac-12 when I should be watching
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Cal and UCLA in a Pac-12 Saturday? But yeah, this
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: is going to be a fantastic matchup. And I'm really
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: high on the Cal Bears this year. I think they're
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: going to be fun to watch UCLA. There's just too
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: many question marks for UCLA. I'm almost to the point
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: where I'm going to put them on my pedestal of
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Nebraska football, Wisconsin football. I might have to put up
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: UCLA on that pedestal because I'm tired of listening to
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: this might be their year.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Boise, they're versus Oregon. I took the under 51.5.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: You would know this probably statistically more than me, but
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: it seems like when these two tie it on, it's
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: a pretty dang close game.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: It was a year or two ago. Oregon had to
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: go down to the wire to win with a field goal.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Can Boise push Oregon a little bit?
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: I think they can, but, man, I'm excited to watch.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I can't believe I'm going to say this because I
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: love watching Oregon football because I think their speed on
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: offense is always fun to watch. But I'm excited to
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: watch their speed on defense. I'm so excited to watch.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: The Ducks play defense. And I wouldn't be shocked if
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Oregon goes up early. They just keep the pedal to
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: the metal and try to get a blowout number because
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: it wouldn't have looked good on your resume. Because, you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Boise State's going to be up there in the Pac-12,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: up there trying to battle to win the conference. So
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: if they win the conference, you can say, hey, you
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: know what? We beat Boise State by X, Y, and
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Z week one. And we're not shocked when you're Oregon
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: does win this one. They cover easily.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Hey, before we get you out here and tell everybody
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: where you're at, I don't know, did you see a
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: post by Ryan Paganetti? Ryan Paganetti, you may know who
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: he is, Super Bowl winning NFL strategy and analytics former,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: or coach formerly for the Eagles, Jaguars, and Raiders. and
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: what he said on Bill Belichick and the Patriots today
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: on how they would mask their video board with upright
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: and field goal, like on the video board.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Did you see this?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: It was a fascinating story, and I'm going to try
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: to see if I can share my screen real quick
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: and just put this up for you and for the
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: viewers here. If you go look here, let me share
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: this real quick, see if you can see this. how
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: that's going to pull in. So Pagnetti, basically, I'm not
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: going to read all this out.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: You'd have to read it.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: But basically, if you look at this graphic, the Patriots
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: would always put on the video board an inverse of
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: the field with the uprights. So the flag is for
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: blowing traditionally to the right. They blow to the left.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: And they said he went through like 50-something scenarios of this.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: And what was interesting is they always did this when
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: the opponents did it. But when the Patriots were on,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: They would blank out the video board.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: He said this was a masterful job of really trying
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: to screw with a kicker.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: And he said he was just talking about the Patriot way,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: how they did everything down to the integrate.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I had never heard of it. This is taken like
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: you need to go check this out. You'll really enjoy it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, it does not shock me
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: because back then the Patriots, I think that's why they
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: won a lot of games. They did everything in anything
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: to win games. And when you win games in the NFL,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: it's much easier to get to the Super Bowl when
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: you're winning games than losing games.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: No, there's no doubt.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Hey, tell everybody where they can find you. Wanted to
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: come play with you. It's going to be a great weekend.

• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Longos over 54.5. LSU versus Clemson. Give me Clemson and
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the Tigers and Dabo plus 10. I don't think they're
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: going to win it, but I think they're going to
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: scare the daylights out of Lane Kiffin and LSU this weekend.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: UCLA versus Cal. Let's go under 53.5. And then we'll
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: go Ole Miss. Give me Ole Miss to cover versus Louisville.

  Speaker 5: when it's 100 degrees.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: So I took the 16-foot.
• 25:13

• 25:16
  Speaker 5: got through moving a bunch more furniture over here at
• 25:18

• 25:19
  Speaker 1: But man, I'm so fired up. And I was just
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: talking to Nigel about you.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: Love what you do, man, for Mississippi, for the SEC,
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: for high school, and for numbers. And I do this

  Speaker 5: If you ever want to do a 24-7 podcast-a-thon, I'm
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: all in.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe we need to do that. We'll find us a sponsor.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Me, you, we'll get Brendan to produce it, and we'll
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: get Buddy, and we'll get Vince. We'll get everybody out there.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: We'll just do a 24-hour podcast.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Podcast-a-thon.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: Maybe we'll raise some money for all of us and
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: for a good cause and something like that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I think it'd be a lot of fun. I am
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: just so excited about.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: And I talked to some coaches today got some incredible
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: insight about what I think is happening with Kiffin Dabo
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: and Golding it's it's fascinating.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah it really is and some of those reports were
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: out there you know you've got some intel we'll let
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: you share that as you wish and when you wish
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: on you might not want to share any of it
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: but it is very fascinating uh kind of that triangular
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: effect of you know Kiffin and Dabo and then Golding
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: and what's going on let me ask you this before
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: we get into the games this weekend um the SEC
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: meets tomorrow in court.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: I can't believe we're really doing this. I love the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Buc-ee's Cup, by the way. Love the Buc-ee's. Anytime we
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: pass Buc-ee's, we've.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Got to go.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: The kids love it.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, who would have thought Buc-ee's– I mean, just
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: you take a gas station model, and we're going to
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: make it into a multimillion-dollar business.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: Well, my friend Billy Roberts, roommate from college, said– people say,
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: what's Buc-ee's like?
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: He said, imagine if a truck stop in Walmart had
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: a baby. It'd be Buc-ee's. There you go.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: No, you're absolutely correct. All right, so let me ask
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: you this.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow the SEC and the courts meet tomorrow to try
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: to figure this whole thing out.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: I don't have a clue which way this is going
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: to go. Can you believe we're on day one?
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Look, rosters have to be finalized 24 hours before game time.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: You know, luckily for Ole Miss, you get an extra day.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: If you're SMU Florida State, you get two extra days.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: But, Rob, this is crazy.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: It is, and we're here because– and I was talking
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: with an attorney that I have on my show, Mary
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Turner in Tuscaloosa, Turner Law Group. She's– really good at
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: explaining this there's a loophole it looks like in the
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: class of 22 and i think no one talked about
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: covering their rear side and that's what these attorneys have
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: zeroed in on so i'm a fifth year senior i
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: was signed in the class of 22 and i was
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: talking with coach pete cordelli who was on our show
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: monday we're going to try to jump on in the
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: morning man he burns up the phones talking to his
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: coaching friends all over the country And it looks like, hey,
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: all they're really doing, the judges are saying they're trying
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: to improve their draft stock.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: So that's why we're where we are.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: That's very, very interesting. Very interesting. Try to come back.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Let's take another look at us. Let's have that second
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: walkout on the stage. All right, so we've got some
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: big ones. Let's go to Baylor and Auburn. Auburn's a
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: seven-point favorite on my picks this week, WIMS winners that
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: I do every week during football season. That is one
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: of my picks. I've got Auburn covering the sevens.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Right here in the middle.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I've got a lot of totals because I don't trust
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: some of these lines. But Auburn versus Baylor, this is
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: a big one, obviously. Auburn, you know very, very well.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: That is your alma mater, is that correct?
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you're a War Eagle.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: I've got a wife that's a Tennessean, oldest daughter, Alabama,
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: and my three kids from my first marriage, Auburn. And
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: I'm surrounded by Ole Miss friends, Memphis. I mean, this
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: is what I love about the South.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Hey, before we get to the pick, one of my,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: one of my best friends in college met him in college.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: He ended up going, went to Mississippi state.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: He ended up going to law school in Alabama, trying
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: to get me to go with him, but I was
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: just burned out and out of money.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm not going to law school.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: His family, huge Auburn family.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, his dad, granddad, brother, everybody went to Auburn,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: lived out in Watumka, Alabama, and he broke their heart
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: when he went to state, but then he double broke
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: their heart when he went to law school in Alabama.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: Oh, hey, look, If you've got three kids, two are
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: going to one, one's going to the other, rarely, if ever,
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: do all three go to the same place.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you what, I love the
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Egg Bowl.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: That might be the most fierce on the field because
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: they go at it physically.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, those are two of the most. intense rivalries
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: in college or professional sports. But, yeah, happens all the
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: time like that.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: All right, so Auburn, Alex Golish, I like what he says.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: I like the product that we saw at South Florida.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Love Byron Brown. I think he could be– you know,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: we're talking quarterbacks on the daily show on 105.9 ESPN
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Radio today. I was going through the quarterbacks and saying, hey,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: who's going to be the household name that we're not
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: really– everybody's talking Trinidad.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Everybody's talking Arch. I think Byron Brown could.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Be one of those guys where we look up in
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: October and go, man, this dude is really dealing this year.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: He takes on D.J. Lagway, who is obviously tied to
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: the hill to Dave Aranda. Dave Aranda has to have
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: him play well. This is a really big matchup this weekend.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: And I think that if you look at Trinidad when
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: he came out of Ferris State Division II, He was
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: signed as an afterthought to back up Austin Simmons. And
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: look what he did. He transitioned very well. Diego Pavia
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: from that powerhouse, New Mexico State. Very, very good transition
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: at Vanderbilt. And having Jerry, you know, Jerry Klein, Jerry Keel,
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: and also Beck, that helped. And some teammates coming with him.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: But I think Auburn, what Auburn's got is five years
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: of losing with Harsin and Freeze. It's not been a
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: lack of talent.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: What Golish has done is I think for the last
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: five years, our minds are like vegetable gardens. If you
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: plant seeds of negativity and losing in your mind every day,
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: that's what grows within you.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: It's the opposite if you do the positive.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Golish, I think, burned the tape of the last few
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: years and basically expunged everybody's records. These guys are ready
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: to just turn loose and run like wild men. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: do think Auburn gets a win. I think the offense
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: will be good, but I think D.J. Durkin's defense will
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: do a really good job And the question really, like
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: we said at this point, who's under more pressure, John Cohen,
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: the AD, from moving the game out of Auburn to Atlanta,
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: or Alex Golish?
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: And I think it's Cohen.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: But, hey, five or six million of NIL money, you
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: can't turn that down.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: That's where we are.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: You speak of John Cohen. What's the pulse of John
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Cohen down on the plains?
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: The pulse is that is he– does he understand– and
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: he's from Tuscaloosa.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Keep that in mind. Just understand that Auburn's.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: A lot like Poland. On one side, you've got Russia, Georgia.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: On the other side, you've got Alabama, Germany. That's kind
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: of what Auburn is. And when Auburn's at their best,
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: they can play with anybody. But they are as messed
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: up and goofier looking as that scene in the original
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: bar scene in the original Star Wars movie when they
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: can't get everybody out of each other's way. Total alignment,
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: they've got it right now. And that's a good thing.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: You've got to have that. But Cohen, all the sports
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: at Auburn, he's a fundraiser. He's doing a lot of
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: good things. But it's all about football. I can't believe
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: he signed off on hiring Hugh Freeze, having been at
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Mississippi State when all that was going on. There was
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: a reporter at Mississippi State that was putting a lot
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: of stuff out, and good for him. He was digging.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: Gene's page, I think, is what it was. But I
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: think people with– Cohen– is talked about because football's not winning.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: When you're winning in football, they're not going to talk
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: about the AD. It's pretty simple. And Auburn will have
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: 90% of that crowd. It's Auburn's largest alumni base in
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: the country outside of Alabama.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: It's 90 minutes on the interstate from campus.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: There's like 23,000 alumni in Atlanta, plus just fans. I've
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: been to a lot of games at MBS. It will
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: be a raucous atmosphere, but I'm with you about Byron Brown.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: I think portability of success is on his side. And
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: I love, I love what Alex Golis does with quarterbacks.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: I know it's Louisiana Monroe, but we finally get to
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: see Camario Taylor Saturday, Mississippi state, you know, this now
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: coming of age of, I mean, Camaro Taylor is absolutely
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: the face of Mississippi state now, because if you look
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: at it, state going back with additional MSU block logo
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: on the side of the helmet. I don't know if
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: you saw it or not, but they did a big
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: release with Wayne Madkin and passing the torch and He's
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: the guy.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: What do you want to see from State on Saturday?
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: In games like this, coaches will always say it's about
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: you getting better. It's not about what you do to
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: that team. Efficiency, not turning the ball over, running their
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: assignments and everything like that. And what you really want
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: to see are your ones pushing as hard in practice
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: and on game day as your twos and threes. Because
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: depth charts aren't what they used to be. So you
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: can draw a lot from this. And also your opponents
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: are looking at your guys, you know. I mean, because
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: the portal January 2nd to the 16th is coming up.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: But Kamario Taylor is such a talented quarterback. And I
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: heard Phillip Montgomery spoke at the Touchdown Club in Memphis
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: July 27th. He goes, he's not– don't say he's just
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: a great athlete. This kid's a hell of a quarterback. See,
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: and that's what people a lot of times try to say.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: And ask any offensive lineman, a quarterback who drops back
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: and doesn't look at his second and third reads and
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: starts just scrambling, that's when you get guys holding because
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: they're trying to cover.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: They don't know which way to go.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Camario, that 173 yards rushing against Ole Miss, against a
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: pretty dang good defense, I mean, that's a sign. I
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: think that's a harbinger of what you're going to see
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: with him. He's so big and physical that he gives.
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: And Jeff Levy, I mean, I know the state is 1-15th,
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: They're not getting blown out in the games. They've got
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: to just get over the mental hurdle of winning. When
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: you've got a quarterback like Mario Taylor, who's from Knoxville County,
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: you know, 40 minutes away. I mean, this kid's got
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: a lot of pride. Anytime you're in doubt.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Sign the in-state kid because.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: He can never quit on you. It's because you're going
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: to go back home to Knoxville. He's not going to quit,
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: but I'm giving as an example. You look at Jeffrey
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: Simmons out of Macon. Highway 45 has.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Been very good to Mississippi State over the years. I
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: love that highway.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: Scuba, and you get on down there to Waynesboro.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: All those towns.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: And then, by the way, is Moss Point, Mississippi, the
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: one high school that Mississippi State's probably signed more from
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: than any other school ever?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Probably prior to COVID, for sure. Yeah, prior to COVID.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: And I say COVID just because– not COVID, I'm sorry.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Katrina. Yes. Katrina.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: A lot of those families moved out of the Gulf Coast. And,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: you know, like West Point or Moss Point now, not
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: West Point, Moss Point, it's kind of a shell of
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: what it used to be.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: But, yes, prior to that, there was so– Jackie Wayne
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: got a lot of guys. I mean, from Kevin Fant
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: to defensive players. I mean, Moss Point was really, really good.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Now we're starting to see kind of a rebuild.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: The Gulf Coast, as far as infrastructure, has been rebuilt.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: But the schools, Ocean Springs, Gulfport, the Iberville, you know, Picayune,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: you're seeing a lot of those schools really kind of,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: you know, come.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Back to life.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Gulfport won the highest classification this past year in Mississippi
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: high school football in 7A.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think about the hardest hit that I've
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: seen in the last 25 or 30 years. There was
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: a defensive back from Mississippi State in 2000 named Josh
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Morgan out of Warren County Central. He hit an Auburn
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: receiver in the flat, and that guy crapped his pants.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was the move.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: And Mississippi State beat Auburn physically– Mississippi State beat them physically.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: In a way I had not seen happen in a long,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: long time.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: And I just think about these in-state– I think about
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: guys like Dorsett Davis, Tyrone Keyes. Somebody asked me the
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: other day, who's your favorite Mississippi State player of all time?
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: And I still– when I.
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: Was a kid, SEC Sports Journal front cover, Mississippi State's
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: magic man, Marty McDowell from Mobile, Alabama.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: That's still my favorite player.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: I say he also gave me some nightmares as an
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: Auburn fan because he was– I would love.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: To know what he's doing now. I mean, I just–
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I'd love to know what happened to these guys because
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: that dude loved Mississippi State and the Maroon. I just–
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: I love players like that that love the school.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and let me give you some insight for the
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: next one on Josh Morgan.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: You may know this man. He is the head football
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: coach at Warren Central High School down in Vicksburg. Yeah,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: where he is.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Where his father coached him, Rob Senior. And his son, Nash,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: is the quarterback who just committed to Mississippi State, but
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: he will play safety as well. Kind of like what
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: you saw with Bray Hubbard out of Ocean Springs, who
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: now is an All-American in Alabama.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Rob, I mean, Josh Morgan's son, Nash, will be at
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Starkville next year. So, you know, refurbishing that Morgan name
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: at Starkville.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Well, legacies, man.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: And I just– if you're going to sign a three-star
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: from California, no. Sign the three-star from Mississippi because– Per capita,
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: that state puts more guys in the NFL than any
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: other state in America.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Speaking of staying in the state, Ole Miss with a
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: big one against Louisville.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Louisville was 9-4 last year, 9-4 two years ago. Last
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: year they lost three ballgames by three points or less.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Jeff Brom's a really good coach. They're breaking in a
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: new quarterback. They've got a really good running back.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Can Louisville hang around and will they scare Ole Miss
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: this weekend?
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I think they will.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: And we talked to Yancey Porter Tuesday from Rebel Yell Hotline.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: He made a good point with Pete Golding.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Being the head coach, you're probably going to see more 10,
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: maybe 12 play drives. They're going to try to, I say,
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: protect the defense. But there's going to be some transitioning.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: But I do think Ole Miss gets the win. I
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: think it's going to take a full 60, though. Because
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: you know what, Jake, this is what I love about
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: talking with you on the show, and I get so
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: much positive feedback. You identify and shed the light, and
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: you're good about pointing the flashlight in any direction. It's
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: kind of like when you're out in the woods at night,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: and you point it out around you, you see eyes everywhere.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: There's good football players all over the country. And that's
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: what I love. And I know we're myopically focused on
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the SEC down here, but we don't want to lose football.
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: Around the country. And I'm sitting there thinking about Louisville.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: The fighting Brahms are good. This is a great test
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: for Ole Miss. I've got them playing Georgia for the
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: SEC championship.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: LSU, oh, yeah, that's a great pick.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, and that's the thing about this year is
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's a huge divide, you know, from
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: the national championship picks. We've seen Notre Dame, Oregon, Georgia, Texas.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, you go through the list, Miami and some others,
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: somewhere in the SEC. Saturday night down in.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge is going to be crazy.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I picked Clemson– to cover the 10 today.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: I've got Clemson plus 10.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: And my reasoning, and I could be totally off on this,
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: is just I feel like Dabo Sweeney is still a
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: really good coach.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: I feel like he knows that he kind of gets
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: the gun. I mean, you know this.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Clemson, lowest-ranked AP top 25 they've had since he's been there, probably,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: since the year one or year two.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Largest odds on the end to win the national title.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Started at 301. They're at 175-1. This is– Win total,
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: seven and a half. This is a Clemson team that
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: is desperate.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: And a lot of times when you get desperate teams
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: to go in a situation, I think they could hang
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: around on Saturday night.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: You just gave exactly why I'm taking them to cover two.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: They're desperate. Nobody is giving them a chance. Poor old Clemson.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: And people will ask Dabo, you know, are y'all Clemsoning again?
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: He hates that.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: He goes ballistic when he hears that. But LSU's got
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: so much confusion right now. Say what you want about
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: Lane Kiffin.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Is he breaking the rules? Coaches that I'm talking to
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: say he's bending them. And he's bending them as far,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: it's like pulling back on a damn compound bow.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: As far as you can. Why is he making everybody mad?
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: Is it because he's out working them? He's out thanking them?
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But I know one thing Pete Golding did,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I was told by a coach, it was like four
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon before the player signed with Ole
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Miss and left after being in class at Clemson in
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: the portal.
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: He had eight hours till midnight. Dabo could have stopped him.
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: I think Dabo's mad that, dead gummit, I got outsmarted.
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: Pete Golding, you've got to be aggressive.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: You've got to be.
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: But I think Clemson hangs around, and we don't know
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: Levitt's status. Go back to last summer, DJ Lagway. Pete
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: Cordelli said on the show one morning, he got hurt
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: in the weight room this summer.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: He dropped that bomb. We were like, whoa.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: And he did.
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: He was pushing too hard on the rehab. He wasn't
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: good to go until late in the season. He never
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: really got off the ground at Florida.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I don't like not having my quarterback locked in this
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: close to a big game. So I will take Clemson
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: to cover.
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: Now, LSU could come out and play lights out, but
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: it's usually not what it appears.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Everybody can't be right at the same time.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Before we get you on your way, what else are
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: you looking for around the league?
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously Oklahoma, Texas.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: Florida, you know, some others. They're playing games in which
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: they should win by large margins. What else are you
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: intrigued by this weekend?
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: I like the boys from San Marcos, Texas, the Bobcats,
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: Texas State. They will give Texas a good run. That's
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: the fastest growing college in Texas. Of course, there's so many, 30.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Million people down there.
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: But I think that will be a good one. Tennessee,
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: I'm anxious to see. Look, when you're starting Brandon Frazon,
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: he's a true freshman. But here's the thing about this kid.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: He is like the Capital One Bank guy that lives
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: in the bank branch. Everyone I've talked to that knows,
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: he's from Greensboro, North Carolina, same place as Hendon Hooker,
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: who came to Tennessee after being at Virginia Tech.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be anxious to see what Brandon Faison
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: does because.
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: They are cutting corn, rice, and beans over here at
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: the farm, and it is– It is hard to breathe.
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's a haze out there. Then they start
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: burning the field. I was out on my mountain bike
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: one time last early September on a Sunday morning, and
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: the wind changed, and it was a whiteout. And I
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: couldn't see for about 15 seconds. And I said, stay
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: on the road.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: The farm shop is right up there. I'm sure it is.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I made it.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: But I'm anxious to see any time you've got a
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: true freshman quarterback. East Carolina, they sold all their tickets.
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: The Pirates are excited about coming down there to Tuscaloosa. Look,
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: you've got Keylon Russell, a true freshman.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: That's going to be fun. He played last year. I'm sorry.
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: He played in a couple of games, blowouts. But this
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: is a quarterback that Kalen DeBoer picked himself. That's going
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: to be fun to watch. Nothing against Ty Simpson out
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: of Martin, Tennessee, number 13 pick.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: But you know what?
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: What you can never say when you take a job
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: is when I get my players in here, we're going
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: to be good.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: You say, I love them. These are my players. Kalen
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: DeBoer has been pretty smart about doing that.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: And I know I've got them winning seven or eight
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: games if they can't run the ball, but isn't it
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: kind of crazy? Last year was the worst running game
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: since 1956. Alabama still won 11 games.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: That is unbelievable.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: No, that is.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: That is.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Rob, tell everybody where to find you. I know you
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: guys are going to be burning it up over the
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: next couple of days.
• 45:00
