Transcript
- 0:01Now this was gonna get a lot of heat, I would imagine, Jake,
- 0:04and I hope you're ready for it. Just buckle up, buddy,
- 0:06because you got Alabama eight and four and up seeing a lot of this again,
- 0:11this is your model, not not specifically you, but eight and four
- 0:14for the Crimson tide here and man, I like Kaylen to board. I
- 0:20think that was a solid higher. I don't think he makes year three if
- 0:24he goes eight and four two years in a row. What's your thoughts when
- 0:27you first came out and you saw this Alabama at eight and four, well
- 0:32surprising and almost it makes you want to you know, we never do the
- 0:36budget O. No, no, no, surely that's enough. Just nine
- 0:38and three, let's just be ten and three. That's all right. But
- 0:42when you look at what's going on and again, so much attrition in the
- 0:46transfer for over the last two years. I mean, this team, maybe
- 0:49this last year and I think it was Chris Marler with somebody put this out
- 0:53that if you took all of the guys that left Alabama just this year,
- 0:57it would have been the sixth ranked recruiting class in the entire count You can't
- 1:00have that kind of attrition and it not affect you, and you do not
- 1:04necessarily affect you. I mean, Alabama coming out there for first twenty two,
- 1:07you're gonna get to compete with most anybody just that depth, and you
- 1:11know, obviously change in a coaching staff. What does that look like?
- 1:15And Jalen Milroe. What will Kaylen de Boor do with Jalen Milroe? You
- 1:19know he's a fantastic player, and he do what Kaylen de Bore wants him
- 1:23to do? Or will they have to kind of you know, pivot and
- 1:26maneuver with that. And you look at Alabama the reason I have to mate
- 1:27before they'll get off the cuff and go three. And oh, I think
- 1:30they win at Wisconsin after the bye week. Just Georgia Kirby Smart just feels
- 1:36like one of those games where he says, hey, you know, Kirby
- 1:38takes it personal and says, look, we got this new coach at Alabama
- 1:42and we're fixing a welcome to the SEC in a Georgia kind of way.
- 1:45And I feel like they'll probably do that at Vanderbilt South Carolina, but at
- 1:49Tennessee. I like Tennessee much better in this situation. Playing at home,
- 1:53we know that the volunteers are not scared of the time they meet them two
- 1:57years ago. You know, they they had their moments last year. I
- 2:00like Tennessee and a close win Missouri. They should get that win. Again.
- 2:05How good is Missouri going to be? I mean, I think they're
- 2:07obviously going to be one of the better teams in the league. At LSU,
- 2:09again I favor the Tigers just because of the coaching staff and where that
- 2:14game is played Mercer. But then at Oklahoma a loss as well, so
- 2:19you know, I think Oklahoma's going to be somewhat of a bus on.
- 2:21Then a close win against Auburns for me, eight and four, nine and
- 2:24three is kind of where Alabama's going to be. Now Vegas has Alabama's win
- 2:28total at nine. I go again, one on one win under that at
- 2:31eight, and I just think Alabama, I mean, they're not going to
- 2:35be terrible, but I think they kind of settled back in the back and
- 2:37you're one of a new Reginia. Hmm. Now another team at eight and
- 2:39four, Jake, this was
