0:58

We'll have David Murray three thirty talking in Mississippi State. Hey, look y'all
1:57
ain't gona get out of me. What y'all gotten out of the rest of
1:59
you? I look, y'all want to talk four hours about this whole catcher
2:00
thing. Beaver. The first thing he asked me, he says, tell
2:04
me you're not gonna speak three hours on this. I said, no,
2:07
we'll speak like ten seconds. So you've got your feel on the catcher situation
2:13
in Mississippi State. So we'll talk a little bit about that with David Murray,
2:16
more so about just the baseball team and intact and of course spring football.
2:21
Chris Landry will talk in NFL and a little college coming up four to
2:23
four thirty. Aaron GOSHAUNG two four seven sports dot com Kentucky affiliate, will
2:28
join us at five point fifteen to talk what's next for Kentucky basketball and of
2:32
course a little Kentucky football as we moved through the deal. So you said
2:38
you went outside and you didn't see anything either, I didn't see anything.
2:42
I mean at the cloud cover here in Ridgeland was extremely thick and dense.
2:47
I think I saw the sun for about a second half a second half.
2:53
I know I saw some of those pictures on social media. Let's say some
2:55
people got some pretty good visibility on this thing. But again, this this
3:00
was more like a Vanderbilt football game. For me, it felt like watching
3:04
a Vanderbilt football game. You know, some build up there, Not that
3:07
there's a ton of build up with Vanderbilt football, but let's just say Vanderbilt
3:10
got off to a four and oh start where they beat the likes of Hawaii,
3:14
Western Michigan, East Texas State, and Tennessee State. And then played
3:19
at Alabama, got dumb drug. That's what it felt like, all right.
3:22
The curse of the College World Series title continues, as Peter Burns said,
3:24
for the third straight year. You know, Mississippi State won the whole
3:28
thing and then went off the map Ole miss did same thing. That was
3:30
like hellosh was doing that. The last three winners had woe full seasons after
3:36
claiming it all in Omaha. And let me look here. If you look
3:42
at the overall baseball standings in the Southeastern Conference coming into today, Kentucky again
3:49
with a three game lead over the field. The field well, Bandy would
3:53
be next in live Kentucky eleven and one, twenty seven and four overall.
3:57
We'll talk to Aarreon Grishan about that a little bit too, if we get
4:00
time. Vanderbilt eight and four, twenty five and seven, Tennessee seven and
4:02
five, twenty six and six, South Carolina and Florida six and six apiece,
4:06
Georgia and Missouri five and seven and four eight respectively. Arkansas again three
4:12
games over the field, and that next one up would be Texas A and
4:15
M. Very similar to the East eleven and one. They are twenty seven
4:18
and three overall, Texas A and M eight and four, twenty eight and
4:21
four, Missisippi State and third at six and six and twenty one and twelve.
4:27
Then it's Alabama at four and eight, LSU three and nine, almost
4:30
three and nine, and then Auburn. So you're seeing a definitive cut there
4:33
in the SEC West twelve games into the conference late between Mississippi State, Texas
4:39
A and M, and Arkansas and then Alabama, LSU, Ole, miss
4:43
and Auburn. Same way. In the top half, it's Kentucky Vandy,
4:46
Tennessee, South Carolina and in Florida, and then it's Georgia in Missouri.
4:51
All right, so John Caliperry is out at Kentucky. Arkansas is going to
4:58
be his new home in based on all accounts, you know, there was
5:00
some I guess you could say some surprise people, a lot of surprise people
5:04
about this. It makes sense. But with Arkansas and the money that they're
5:10
going to put towards their basketball program, at least on paper, it looks
5:13
like they have more NIO money in basketball than even Kentucky does, which is
5:16
wild. So we'll see what's coming up next for Kentucky. Also shout out
5:23
to Tyson Robinson, running back Brandon. He has already been named as the
5:28
number one recruit in the clients of twenty twenty seven the state of Mississippi.
5:31
This is by several people out here, So he'll be a junior, no
5:35
excuse me, he will be a sophomore. Sophomore running back coming up in
5:39
Brandon this year. Twenty twenty seven products now ranked number one prospect in the
5:44
state of Mississippi twenty twenty seven. Staying with the running backs, Matt Zennetts
5:47
of two four seven sports Dot Kyle or checked that believe he's going to be
5:54
two four seven two four seven in CBS. Ohio State running back Dolan Hayden
5:59
has informed the Bucket staff that he plans to enter the transfer portal when the
6:01
spring portal window opens. Hayden a former four star recruit and the son of
6:06
former Tennessee A NFL running back Aaron Hayden. He ran for five hundred and
6:12
fifty three yards as a freshman last year, but with quin Shawn Judkins now
6:16
at Ohio State in that backfield, there's just not enough footballs to go around,
6:20
so he is going to navigate out of that. Cole Cublic posted this
6:26
earlier odds to be the next Kentucky men's basketball coach courtesy of bed online dot
6:30
ag Scott Drew. I mean, right now, he is the guy.
6:34
They look like he is the guy. This could be his last game to
6:38
coach at Yukon tonight, natoates at Alabama three to one, Richard Patino seven
6:43
to one, Billy Donovan nine to one, Mark Pope ten to one,
6:47
Kevin Sampson twelve to one, and then Jamie Dixon. It goes down from
6:50
their sixteen to one. So we'll see what happens as Kentucky looking for a
6:55
basketball coach. Also a little bit of NFL new here. Ian Rappaport LSU
7:00
wide receiver Molik Neighbors, one of the drafts top receivers, is visiting the
7:05
Titans today. This week. He also has the top thirty visit to the
7:10
Jets on Tuesday and the Bears on Wednesday. And the Patriots have spent most
7:14
of the offseason locking in their key homegrown players. Now another one, as
7:19
Kyle Duger or Duggar. It's a four year, fifty eight million dollar deal
7:24
at fourteen point five million per year. Instead of a transition tag, he
7:29
gets a long term, gets the long term deal that he wants. And
7:33
also we'll get into some what is the hot board again for Kentucky? How
7:40
long does it take them to make this move? And again, when you
7:43
see a move like this at Kentucky, a place like Kentucky where John Calipari
7:47
has lived on ones and duns and transferport guys, this could be not only
7:51
a brand new basketball coach at Kentucky, it could be a whole new team,
7:55
like literally one end of the other, the bench, players, everything,
7:59
I mean, it could be there again. The National Championship Game is
8:01
tonight Yukon versus Purdue and the men's championship game. Alabama played very tough the
8:07
other night, just could not hang around late Yukon way too much. Who
8:11
do you have tonight Yukon and Purdue. You can go to AmeriStar Casino dot
8:15
Com, forward slised Vicksburg and get the bet builder and get in and right
8:20
now, if I look at the there we go. Yukon is a seven
8:26
point favorite over Purdue tonight seven point favorite. The totals at one forty four
8:31
and a half one forty four and a half for Yukon and Purdue. Also
8:37
Brad Crawford will get into some of this college football teams expected to be most
8:41
active in the spring window, the spring transfer portal window. We'll take a
8:45
look at some of those teams that they anticipate. We'll do that with it
8:48
about to open. Dion Sanders Skoltz Colorado players after professor sent a negative letter
8:54
to him. Also, people don't even thought about this. John Coler Party
8:58
and Bobby Petrina are our technically coworkers. They are technically coworkers. Think about
9:03
that because Bobby Petrino inside that athletic building with Sam Pittman as the offensive coordinator
9:09
and now John Caler Party. Why does it feel like though this John Kyler
9:15
PARI hired to Arkansas and it's going to be a megadeal feels like a Jimbo
9:20
Fisher hire. I mean Jimbo Fisher left Florida State to accept a huge contract
9:24
at Texas A and M. And now John Coler Party leaves Kentucky for a
9:28
huge contract at Arkansas. Feels like the same energy to me because John Caler
9:31
Party has won the big thing in quite a long time. Six hour one
9:35
eight eight five three seven seven six. That is the Cabo Malowney's text line.
9:39
We'll get into some other stuff as well. Twenty twenty four NFL Draft
9:41
five mystery teams that could potentially surprise you with a quarterback pick in round one
9:48
or early round two. Also, CBS Sports staff has predicted their final fours
9:54
for the college football Playoff. I want to get into this from Chip Patterson,
9:58
Tom Bournelli, David Cobbs, others and see how bad off they are
10:03
or right on the college football Playoff. We're brought to you by our friends

11:52
Kentucky Basketball, Kentucky football, maybe a little baseball, we get time.
11:56
We'll see all right, let's see here. Joel on the Cowboy Milownie's text
12:01
sign. You can text a six er one eighty five three seven seven six
12:03
Jaquinn will all Miss replace Mike Bianco as their head baseball coach. I'm aware
12:07
the twenty twenty two World Series Championship was a team. We can't replace,
12:11
but being swept the last two weekends is embarrassing. Well, you know,
12:16
that's the thing with Mike Bianco, been there, you know, gauzillion years.
12:22
It feels like done more for that program than any other baseball coach.
12:24
Ever, the only coach there to win a national title. He's gonna get
12:31
you would think at least this year and then maybe one more. Maybe now
12:35
again, if they just the whole thing falls off. Let's see here,
12:39
let me go look and see what's coming up for all miss in this baseball
12:45
season. It is tough. I mean when you when you're rolling through these
12:48
things right now, Almoss eighteen and fifteen. Overall, they're on a seven
12:52
game losing streak right now, a seven game streak here, and if we
12:58
go look, let's see, we're into April, correct, it feels like
13:03
it feels like we see we are And look that Arkansas. I mean that
13:07
was number one Arkansas. That's a tough out to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks
13:11
with there the number one team in the country, they're probably the best in
13:13
the in the league for sure. And of course again they're number one in
13:16
the country. I mean, they're rolling and this is not new for Arkansas.
13:18
Murray State almost needs to get back on the board this week, that's
13:20
tomorrow, they'll play Missisippi State in Oxford. Go a long way to you
13:26
know, winning that series, if they could do it. Missispi State's looking
13:28
at and going catcher saying, what come across the plate? Come across the
13:33
plate? Hey, why is nobody talking about this catcher for Missippi State given
13:37
the knee to the guy's ribcage, because it felt like that kind of set
13:41
this whole thing in motion. But it feels like this kid isn't Are we
13:43
not holding this kid accountable for this? Have you heard? I know you
13:46
said Matt did a three hour dissertation on this thing. Did he mention that
13:52
at all? I'm just curious, Oh, it is just a I tuned
13:56
out after well I tuned out pretty quickly because I say, have a two
14:01
hour show. An hour and forty six minutes of it was spent on that.
14:07
But just a passing. Yeah, I get what he did. He
14:11
didn't need to do that. That's that's all I really heard from the state
14:16
folk, at least during that time span. Just a passing a little you
14:20
know, oh yeah, it did start the whole thing. Unname text are
14:26
plenty of people including Matt said Long should have been kicked out just again.
14:31
Not to get back off into that. I know a lot of people have
14:33
talked about that. We'll get David to take on it. But again,
14:35
Missippi State and ole Miss this weekend coming up in Oxford. Then you know
14:39
the Georgia Series in Athens is a series. Ol Miss will at least have
14:43
him play Alabama coming up down the road. Also Auburn, Texas A and
14:48
m LSU. So, I mean, all Miss needs to try to win
14:52
some games, really interested to try to win some games. It just comes
14:56
down to that. As far as Bianco, I would think he's going to
14:58
get this year and then maybe one more year. Looking here, I'm just
15:07
looking at some NFL draft notes here. You know the NFL Draft. Let's
15:09
see when is the official day? When does it start? Is it next
15:13
Thursday? Twenty fifth through the twenty seventh? Twenty fifth through twenty seven,
15:16
So we've got a couple weeks left until the NFL Draft. Are you looking
15:20
forward to JJ McCarthy coming off the boarder like pick two? No? Yeah,
15:26
at this point, sure might as well embrace it, reds Dog hold
15:31
him accountable for play it hard. Good lord, Jake, your woke soft
15:35
ole Miss homersm has shook. No, I'm not, I am not soft.
15:39
I'm saying, look, you make a play at the plate, but
15:41
the guy stood up and threw a knee into his freaking rib cage. Can't
15:46
do that, Red Dog, you know that? Can you do that?
15:48
Nah? I mean you can't do that. And I would say that if
15:54
it was Bethune Cookman playing baseball against San Jose State Law School. I mean
16:00
you can't. You can't do that. That's all I'm saying. Can't do
16:03
it. All right, Let's jump into some of the NFL draft real quick.
16:07
Twenty twenty four draft teams that could potentially take a quarterback and take a
16:14
shot New Orleans. You think New Orleans may take a pick the number fourteen
16:18
and forty five overall. Derek Carr is only a year removed from signing one
16:22
hundred and fifty million dollars deal. But he's thirty three coming off an uneven
16:26
Saints' debut. It's easily expendable. Following twenty twenty four, New Orleans could
16:33
save up to thirty million dollars by designating him a post June one release in
16:37
twenty twenty five, per over the cap, per over the cap. Saints
16:41
are notorious for refusing to rebuild, but they also lack a surefire number two
16:47
behind car with a jamis Winston gone. So could you see the Saints possibly
16:52
maybe taking a shot at fourteen or forty five on, say Joe Milton,
16:57
No, definitely, not forty I'd be insanity. But this is the Saints
17:03
we're talking about. It's the Saints. Seattle Seahawks, you have the sixteenth
17:07
pick and eighty first overall. General manager John Schneider sniffed around top quarterback prospects
17:12
in twenty twenty three, even after resigning Geno Smith to a seventy five million
17:15
dollar deal. Smith meanwhile is approaching his age thirty four and a season after
17:25
a regression from his twenty twenty two breakouts. So they could save twenty five
17:30
million after this year by releasing Smith. One hold up. Seattle's acquisition of
17:34
former commander's starter Sam Howell may be may satisfy the club's desire for a long
17:40
term project. Let's see here, res dog. I need need my grandmother
17:47
harder than that for passing gas at the dinner table what do you think about
17:52
that? Nothing? He says, I think nothing. Pt vermishy. The
18:00
Saints opportunity to get a steal of a value pick was last year with Hooker.
18:04
Yeah, they did have that opportunity, they did, and the Saints
18:08
just did what the Saints do. They blew it Los Angeles Rams they have
18:12
picked nineteen and fifty two. Stafford looked rejuvenated for much of twenty twenty three,
18:18
returning to form with a younger, more explosive supporting cast. He's also
18:22
thirty six and has openly pondered retirement in recent years after missing multiple starts due
18:26
to injury in three of the last five seasons. New backup Jimmy Garoppolo,
18:32
meanwhile, is also aging and is injury prone. Sean McVay may be forced
18:37
entirely on the now you know now to maybe even take a waiver to take
18:42
a shot at a quarterback, but will likely wait till next year. Dallas
18:48
twenty fourth pick and fifty six pick says this is easily the most unlikely,
18:53
but since we have the Cowboys operated according to public expectations. Press God is
19:00
a top ten starter? Is he a top ten starter? Who's this?
19:03
Prescott is he they call him a top ten starter now, so you think
19:08
you can get ten starters better than Dak Prescott that you would take. I
19:12
mean, he's right outside that twelve thirteen. I think that's fair. But
19:19
he's entering a contract year amid conflicting reports about Dallas's urgency to extend him beyond
19:25
twenty twenty four. Former San Francisco prospect Trey Lance, still just twenty three,
19:30
is also entering the final year of his rookie deal. What if there's
19:34
an intriguing name on the board in day two. Prescott, remember, was
19:37
drafted just two years after Tony Romover was a pro bowler. I still feel
19:44
this just feels like Dak's done after this year. Unless he just goes on
19:48
this run and they win the Super Bowl. I think he's likely done in
19:52
Dallas this year. There's too much smoke around this. What do you think?
19:55
Well, now there's more from what I hear today. Another another another
20:02
media member in Dallas on the on the fan. I believe that's Jerry Jones's
20:08
station. He goes on all the time and some Cowboys insider, which you
20:15
know all these team insiders and don't necessarily by one hundred percent of what they
20:22
say. But this gentleman said, from everything from everyone he's talked to,
20:26
there are several people in that facility with the Cowboys, teammates, personnel,
20:34
and now all of a sudden, the the word, the phrasing that was
20:38
used was Micah Parsons is really wearing thin in that building. Hmmm, well
20:48
there is that. So what are you gonna do? I mean, that's
20:52
that's your best defensive player. What do they do now? Is this is
20:57
this guy the latest problem in Dallas? It seems that seems to be a
21:03
never ending supply of problems in Dallas. I like the way you put that.
21:07
It is it's it's just a gift that keeps on giving in Dallas.

Major League Baseball, also the National Championship Game tonight and mored David Murray two

22:30
David, Happy Monday. I see looks like we might have gotten by the
22:34
eclipse today. How are you well? It was only a partial eclipse of
22:40
the I'm not going to go down that nineteen eighties pop number, but we've
22:47
survived. The light is fully gleaming again, and the light is brighter on
22:49
bulldogg Baseball after a really really cloudy weekend, and I think we've burned out
22:56
all the metaphors we can right now. There's no doubt about it. Yes
22:59
said at six and six, there are a couple of games behind Texas,
23:02
A and M, and they are obviously a distance like everybody else behind Arkansas,
23:06
but sit third in the SEC West after getting two out of three.
23:08
I guess Georgia. So you know, not to make this whole segment about
23:11
what happened Saturday night, but kind of take us through what you saw,
23:15
your thoughts. I know a lot of aggravation from Mississippi State out of everything
23:18
that happened with the SEC on Saturday. Well, to set the foundation,
23:25
I always go back to what Crystal Moments himself said, bump your chest,
23:29
walk off the field, and get ready to pit, you know, play
23:32
offense. So Johnny Long, who is the undisputed alpha dog of this team,
23:37
got a little bit too unleash. Now we He put out a statement
23:41
today apologizing for his actions, but honestly, I don't think his actions weren't
23:45
that egregious up until the very last, you know, second or third shove.
23:51
We can go through all the SEC responses and you know, I'm going
23:56
to take Crystal Mons' word for us. The umpire said what they said,
24:00
which really kind of puts the SEC office in a bad light, because what
24:03
are you saying that if it wasn't on TV? They wouldn't enforce rules like
24:06
that so closely. Are they so concerned about the image that they made things
24:10
look worse by dragging out a forty minute review there? But as it turned
24:14
out, it had no Yes, it did have an impact on Sunday's game
24:17
because both Bulldog errors and then only committed two SEC errors all season. Let's
24:22
not overlook that came from the substitute third base book. However, Missippi State
24:26
survives. They could have folded after getting down five to nothing. They put
24:30
together offensively, they've patched together pitching wise. Nate dun going out could have
24:34
really been a backbreak at that moment. Now they here six and six not
24:38
ideal, they could be seven and five quite easily are better. But here
24:44
they are and getting ready to play an Auburn team next week. At all
24:47
miss teams this week, where here's your chance to make us some ground in
24:49
the SEC and in the RPAI and all this satisfactors. David Murray talking Missippi
24:55
State Sports Monday edition of the Programming. Sure to find him on X and
24:57
of course check him out Atjeen's pag dot com. Yet, David, you
25:00
know you're back to these midweek games where you know, obviously Mississippi States has
25:04
struggled a little bit. UAB coming in on Tuesday, and then the three
25:08
games sat against Ole Miss onf with the weekend and of course all Corn coming
25:11
in before hosting Auburn next week. So I mean you've got you know,
25:15
three six seven eight ball games where mathematically, I mean, State could go
25:19
eight for eight here. Obviously you know the SEC series. If you can
25:23
get two out of three, that's what you want. But I think it's
25:26
that UAB game you don't want to drop anymore. I think of these midwek
25:29
ballgames. Well, I'll give you an example. I've just updated all the
25:32
RPIs. Georgia had a number five RBA, which does more about their strength
25:36
of schedule, but still State beats them to the three. However, they
25:40
lost to a Central Arkansas team which is way down there. So for the
25:44
netweek, State lost ground in the RPI. That's how it works, That's
25:48
how damaging these midweek games have been. Plus I think that State has had
25:52
to use some a relief pitching they did not attend to in midweeks, which
25:56
makes you vulnerable in the weekend and played now, if you can just get
26:00
Nate Dome back and at this point his injury, it was one of those
26:06
kind of protected things. He came off to the else that just didn't quite
26:08
feel right. He throwing eight pitches. He was smart enough to get himself
26:12
off the field. Don't take a chance, don't risk damage because you get
26:17
him back. You can even plug him in if you're fighting that guy.
26:19
You can make him your Sunday starter. You can use him as a Friday
26:22
or Senator leiever. He doesn't have to throw the start it on bumpy.
26:26
You've got to get Nate Dom back. It's going to really make some pay,
26:30
especially in the second half of SEC season. But a few things falling
26:33
into place. Dylan Cup should be back at shortstops somewhat soon. So they
26:37
prove and they can handle a lot of stress. Win some games, lose
26:41
some games. But now they've kind of figure themselves out. Here's the time
26:45
that that's this. The Bullhawks didn't make their move in the standings, and
26:48
you've got you say you've got to win those non conference games because right now
26:52
that's your RBI killing. David Shifting gears a football any notes to bring up
26:57
on football As the Dogs continue to move through spring practice, not a whole
27:03
lot. A few guys are getting banged up that we know of enough serious
27:07
success. We can tell Jeff Levy is very quiet about the injuries going on,
27:11
and we can respect that. At this point. We want to get
27:14
to talk to him on Thursdays. And since we can't actually observe practice,
27:18
we don't know who is and isn't except by second and third hand. And
27:21
I'm certainly not gonna put the thing out there that I can't prove. I
27:25
think that everything we hear all right. Let me get defens and fans out
27:30
there a bit more hope. It looks like the Dogs defense could be better,
27:33
and it doesn't mean good, but they could be better than we thought
27:37
they would be coming out of spring. Some guys are finding their places.
27:41
Some of the transfer people have really been an impact there. Some guys are
27:45
stepping into the roles, maybe more athletics than last year's events. I'm stilling
27:48
a little more optimist on the defense side. Offensively, Lake Shape has just
27:52
taken this and running with it. That receivers are making catches. But what
27:57
I want to watch a week from Saturday, of all you and I've talked
28:00
about it often, I want to see what's happening on the offensive line.
28:03
That's where this season, in any season from now on, no matter what's
28:07
your offensive style hangs, if you can't block a tackle, it doesn't matter,
28:12
David. When you look at let's shift gears to basketball more so big
28:15
picture, it looks like you, at least today Chris Jans is going anywhere.
28:18
But with John Calipari moving over to Arkansas, One, were you surprised
28:22
by that move? And then two? How could that? What kind of
28:25
ripple effect is that going to throw through the league? Once the Arkansas job
28:30
comes came open, I thought there'd be some really good coaches going after and
28:33
as return that the people with Tyson Foos. Of course, you know the
28:38
Walmart money, the Conway trucking, all it. They've got plenty of money
28:42
to spend on nil. It's a very tracked job. So I'm not shocked
28:48
by it like some are. And I think his time in Kentucky was over.
28:51
I mean it was just time. As far as Chris Chance, I
28:55
don't mind a coach looking to in his own mind, improve himself or his
29:00
value like his other jobs. I'm not crazy about doing it in the conference,
29:03
but that just happened. I think, though, Jake, that where
29:07
once spun a time, this would have been one of those deals. Okay,
29:10
you just played around another job. What that means recruiting, I don't
29:14
think it means much anymore. Everything is a new season, everything is until
29:18
he transports turn over every year to here. I don't think it impacts recruiting
29:22
at all as much as many fans fear. However, I'm gonna say this,
29:26
and we learned the Dan Mullen experience when he had his had his second
29:30
interviews in twenty fifteen with Miami. Didn't get the job at that either.
29:36
Once you start doing that repeatedly, you better keep winning because if there's any
29:41
kind of fall off rightly or want of, these fans are going to assume
29:44
that you're not paying attention to your own job while working on another job.
29:48
Again, I don't find ambition. I like a coach who always wants to
29:52
look out to better himself. But you better take care of your current job
29:56
because A it will keep your value of elsewhere, and B if you don't
30:00
take care of curate job, nobody's gonna watch you in your own job won't
30:03
want you either. So he's a big boy, he knows the game.
30:06
He's moved around and I think this gain fully understands what he's doing by getting
30:11
bolts. This it doesn't bother me at all. David, appreciate your time.

31:33
talk to college in NFL football Texas sixer one eight eighty five three seven seven
31:38
six. It says unnamed texter been a huge Cowboys fan for over thirty five
31:42
years. None of this cramp about Dak or Parsons ever comes out of Dallas.
31:48
It's always some anonymous source from inside the building that some ESPN reporter magically
31:53
got. People need the Cowboys for attention, and y'all fall for it every
31:56
time. What do you mean, y'all? Hold up? WHOA? You
32:00
know how much I hate being lumped, and I just got lumped right in
32:04
with this. Y'all. Let's go back to my exact words when I told
32:10
you about this, and I said, says to you, I says,
32:15
now, all these team insiders, I don't know if I buy everything all
32:19
these things that they say. You did say that about twenty five minutes ago.
32:23
Yeah, but you got lumped. Take me out of that lumping.
32:29
Hey, we just report the news. It's not like we talk with the
32:32
insiders. And this is national news. If we fall for it. Then
32:38
that means Ian Rappaport and all the national guys, like the guys at the
32:43
top of the food chain, the big dogs are falling for it, And
32:45
I would are they falling for crap? I don't know that they do.
32:49
They fall for crap occasionally. But when you're talking about those guys, no,
32:55
mos times not. They're too good. They are what They're two high
33:02
up and they're gonna lie. Are the sort I was gonna say, they
33:06
typically get tipped off on things before anybody. We were talking about teams that
33:09
could take a wire, take a flyer on a quarterback. Dallas was one
33:15
of those teams. Maybe Tampa Bay is another one. They got picked twenty
33:17
six and fifty seven. This this one actually makes sense just because even though
33:22
that the Bucks resigned Baker Mayfield to a one hundred and fifty million dollar extension,
33:28
the deal structures is structured in the way that Tampa Bay can actually save
33:30
up to twenty million by cutting the redeemed journeyman after twenty twenty four should the
33:36
extended marriage not pan out. In other words, Mayfield is the guy right
33:40
now, but like Geno Smith and Seattle, the bond is is one that
33:46
can be broken. Only Kyle Trrask and John Woolford sit behind him on the
33:52
depth chart in Tampa Bay. So looking at teams that could potentially take what
33:55
you know, a flyer on a quarterback, Looking at New Orleans, Seattle,
34:00
the Rams, Dallas and Tampa Bay. Anything on the phones over there,
34:06
somebody sell an insurance again, let's say here, all right, moving
34:08
on college football Final four. Everybody wants to know who's gonna make the Final
34:15
four this year. Before I do that, let me go to Lovier real
34:17
quick. Over here, Louvier on the Cowboy Millennies text signe, I must
34:21
admit that the Cowboys do have my attention. I just can't help but watch
34:27
the train wreck in slow motion. It's always fun to watch ghost Saints.
34:31
That's the thing is. It does feel like a train wreck. But is
34:36
it a train wreck? Do you think it's a train wreck. I mean,
34:39
it's not like a train like the Giants are a train wreck. The
34:44
Commanders are typically a bad train wreck. But Dallas is kind of like a
34:47
train that it feels like the tracks are just about to explode, but they
34:52
keep going over bridges that stay up. All that kind of stuff. I'd
34:57
say their owner is the train wreck. I think that's accurate, one hundred
35:02
percent accurate. All Right, CBS sports experts project who they think will be
35:07
the last four teams in the college football Playoff as we move through spring.
35:09
Let's see what they got. Let's see who they like. Let's go with
35:13
Chip Patterson first. He likes Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, and Oregon.
35:20
That's who I got. So's while the ACC and the Big twelve champions
35:24
will have an advantage in the twelve team playoff by getting a pass directly to
35:29
the quarterfinals, he says, I wonder if the rest rust debate breaks out
35:35
breaks the other way when they have to play a first round winner that might
35:38
be a betting favorite. I think the likes of Texas and Oregon could could
35:44
be coming off victories in front of their home crowds and prime to take a
35:47
quarterfinal opponent that hasn't played since the conference championship games. He says, I've
35:52
got Georgia and Ohio State projected to win their respected conferences and on paper advantage
35:59
that they carry over like most of the other competition, make it difficult to
36:02
imagine either team not at least making it to the Semis. Tom Ford.
36:08
Ellie likes Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, and LSU. After watching Alabama
36:17
lose to Michigan in the Rose Bowl last season and seeing two Big Ten programs
36:22
eventually anyway square off in the title game, the SEC answers by putting three
36:25
programs in the final four this season. He says, my thought process isn't
36:30
complicated. We don't know who the best quarterback in the country will be this
36:34
year, but when I look at these four programs, I'm confident each will
36:37
be solid at the quarterback spot. They also boast talented rosters outside the position.
36:44
In other words, they're the type of teams we typically see in the
36:47
championship picture coming into the season. All right, so let me just fact
36:52
check. Do we use that way too much? Have we started using fact
36:55
check way too much? Just in talking points? What do you think fact
37:01
check? No, it's used a lot on Twitter. Everyone's got to check
37:07
each other's facts x sorry, and most people they not even really checking facts.
37:15
All right, but let me just fact check four and Ellie on this,
37:19
You're gonna need to have a defensive score in efficiency to get to the
37:22
final four. Somewhere in the neighborhood of like seventeen and in and when you
37:25
look at LSU last year, we roll over here and find the Tigers one
37:31
hundred and six. I don't know that anybody except for and Lli is gonna
37:37
put it an LSU fans will put LSU in the playoff? Will they like?
37:39
Especially to the final four? And are we sure that Garrett Newsmier is
37:45
going to be the same kind of quarterback as what Georgia and Ohio State and
37:47
Texas will have. I can't get behind that his picks are garbage. Well,
37:52
the LSU pick is garbage. She Han Girage says, Ohio State,
37:58
Texas, Georgia, and org So that's where he's at. David Cobb,
38:05
uh oh, he's a propagandist Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame and ole
38:10
miss. How about that, JC, I didn't write that either. Let
38:16
me see here real quick, unnamed Texter. Remember Casey Jones, the engineer
38:20
that had the big train wreck. That must be Jerry Jones' grandfather. He
38:23
is a train wrecker. Also well done, So, David Cobb says,
38:29
Ohio State has amassed a supremely talented roster. And we'll have the physicality required
38:34
to steamroll into the final four. Georgia coach Kirby Smart will be able to
38:37
motivate his team with the fact that they missed last year's college football playoff.
38:43
Notre Dame will have a more dynamic quarterback or a more dynamic quarterback play than
38:49
has had in years, if duke transfer Ryley Leonard can stay healthy, and
38:51
ole Miss is all in on twenty twenty four with major additions to its defensive
38:55
front that should help the ReBs maintain or build upon its programs a record of
39:00
eleven victories from last year. Texas and Oregon are omitted, largely out of
39:05
skepticism that they will be able to withstand the grind associated with moving to tougher
39:09
leagues. David, that's a bunch of do you buy that Texas and Oregon
39:16
they can't sustain because they're moving to tougher leagues. I can buy it with
39:24
Texas Oregon not likely. Big Ten. You know, we keep talking about,
39:34
oh, that's where all the power is. Those are the two best
39:37
leagues. But it's the same argument as people have had against the sec top
39:43
heavy Big Ten Ohio State, Michigan. Where do we go after that Penn
39:50
State, Penn State, Okay, overrated every year and then what's below that
39:54
anyway, So the point is it's gonna be it's gonna be tougher for Texas
39:59
than it is the organ I am here to tell you SEC fans are gonna
40:06
get blindsided by Texas because they feel the same way. David Cobb does CBS
40:10
Sports and well, all due respect, I'm sure he's a nice guy and
40:14
a talented writer. He wouldn't be at CBS Sports dot Com, I guess.
40:17
But everybody in the SEC is of this imagination that Texas is fixing to
40:22
walk into this bus saw it. Oh what they've done up to this point
40:25
is it doesn't matter they're coming into the SEC. They're gonna find out mm
40:29
hm Texas is fixing to come in and run rough shot over the league.
40:35
Because what's about to happen. It's coming. I'm telling you you better get
40:38
ready for that orange machine. It is coming to a stadium near you,
40:44
and it's not gonna be pretty. And people gonna look around and go,
40:46
well, I thought we were the SEC, Well so were they. They
40:50
are built to play in this league, can't we? And you get on
40:53
the same page, with this, Lots of teams are going to go nine
40:57
and three next year. You think are going nine and three? Chief shooting
41:00
bawl doubt, We have doubt, we have enough fact checking. Most people
41:06
just consider that as a way to prove something as contrary to the popular belief.
41:13
Some of that is probably true too. All right, we got some
41:15
more of these. We got another ole miss in the final four, and
41:20
I will get into that. You got all miss in the final four.

42:45
Com. Chris, Welcome in, sir. How are you good Jack?
42:47
How you doing doing well? All? Let's start with some NFL. We
42:51
might try to drop some college and hear spring practices going on around the country.
42:53
Some are already starting to button this thing up. But with the draft
42:58
now two weeks out, a lot of the pro days are over. Kind
43:01
of take us through where teams are at. You know, generally from this
43:06
point forward, you know, with just a couple of weeks left, beginning
43:09
their final meetings, final setting up their draft board, and you know,
43:15
at this stage you have in initial meetings have gone through. You know every
43:22
player in your book that you've seen, you know, a to z at
43:25
each position, and if the guys kind of what we call on the reject
43:31
board, you maybe spend a little time as to why now you go in
43:37
these final meetings and when you get to those guys, unless you want to
43:42
as we call resurrect somebody, you don't spend time on them. You spend
43:45
time on guys that you've been given a potential draft of book grade one.
43:51
And the way it works is everybody in the room that's seen the guy the
43:54
area of scout, maybe a regional scout, maybe a National Scout, personnel
44:00
directorc, college director, position coach. Everybody gives a report on the player
44:05
and you kind of you have discussions and what we normally did, we had
44:12
a profile tape where you'll have thirty or forty cut ups, good and bad
44:15
plays of what a player is, and you put on the tape and watch
44:19
the guy and he can kind of sit there and communicate with one another as
44:23
you're watching it. All together. You go through that process of very long
44:29
long meetings. It take you know, a good full day early in the
44:34
morning to late at night to get through one position, sometimes even a day
44:37
and a half or some positions, and when you get done with that position,
44:42
you really go and try to stack the board as you see them in
44:45
the right order. And to me, the key is not just ranked one
44:50
through whatever. It's how how many guys are graded in the six nine to
44:53
sixty five categories, the six four to six whatever numerical grade you have,
45:00
how guys are stacked. So you got some tie breakers and maybe got four
45:02
guys at the six four grade, what order should they be in? You
45:07
go over painstaking detail, and you get through all of that process, and
45:09
then you kind of at the end, you go and make sure that your
45:14
top one fifty board best players, regardless of position, which we call the
45:16
horizontal board, are in the right order. So in painstaking detail you set
45:23
up your board. It's not like people think it talk about on TV,
45:27
well this guy's rank here there. People are just getting their final rankings now,
45:31
and a lot of it. By this you hear this conversation folks on
45:37
TV whatever say well, yeah, this guy's moving up boards, not moving
45:40
up board. It's just those people are late to the party on getting the
45:45
information and what really matters is going through that whole process. Yeah, people
45:51
say, well, how could great change? You know, and we're here
45:53
in March. You haven't played football in a one because it takes all that
45:58
time to look at all the film from last year, and they had everybody
46:00
looked at. So your position, coach, your head coach, your coordinator
46:05
might just be getting through all the take now, whereas an area of scout
46:08
you might have got done with it in January. So everybody, that's the
46:14
way in and every team, every organization puts more emphasis on either their scouts
46:20
or a certain scout or or coaches because everybody operates a little different. Chris
46:25
Landry on your radio Monday edition of the program. Find him on Exit Landry
46:30
Football, also Landry football dot com. All right, Chris, a lot
46:31
of you know, obviously chatter about the quarterbacks, but then some of these
46:36
teams that may possibly be looking for a quarterback. Where do you think Dallas
46:40
is with Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott, And I mean Dallas hasn't made a
46:45
ton of moves, almost none in free agency. Jones said, you know
46:49
himself, he wasn't going to speak any other than twenty twenty four. I
46:52
believe they picked Prescott up, you know, right after Tony Romo, you
46:55
know, was walking out the door. I mean he was the starter.
46:58
After all the injuries and such. It took a couple of years. Could
47:00
Dallas possibly be, you know, looking around for a different type of quarterback.
47:07
Well, they haven't made They haven't done anything in for agency because they
47:09
can't afford you because of Dak's contract or lack there up. So it's cap
47:14
numbers high and they have not had much movement on getting a long term deal
47:17
done. Would they consider a quarterback? It's it's certainly possible. I don't
47:23
know how they have those guys rated, whether they remember Dak was somebody that
47:30
they weren't real high on but drafted him. I mean they had graded him
47:36
high enough to draft him where they did. But if you remember that year,
47:42
they liked the kid from Memphis, Paxton Lynch, and tried to trade
47:45
and didn't get them, and then they just took Dak in the third round.
47:49
Could that happen again this year? Of course it could. Anything is
47:52
possible. I think that to me though, when you consider the the m
48:00
O of Jerry and his age and wanting to win starting with another young quarterback,
48:06
would probably probably start the clock over again, and I don't really see
48:09
that. So we'll see how it plays out. If the right guy's there,
48:13
certainly I think they would consider it, But I just don't know that
48:16
they're going to go for that guy early. What about the Los Angeles Rams
48:22
Stafford is getting on up in age, I mean, thirty six years old.
48:25
Garoppolo has some age, you know, Sean McVay trying to continue to
48:31
rework this roster. Could they potentially be looking I think so. I think
48:37
that that's definitely somebody that needs to get a quarterback in there. And I
48:43
think there's a little bit of an issue there because they like him, but
48:46
of his age and injury history, I think grooming a young guy again.
48:52
This is why, and we've talked about quarterbacks the supply and demand factor,
48:55
it's more in the players advantage. The demand factor is greater than the supply.
49:04
So who can you get there and who do you like? And let's
49:07
just say this, It doesn't mean that that there's not going to be somebody
49:12
that you can't get a little bit down the road that might be able to
49:15
be developed. We know that has happened. It's just not as common and
49:20
The reason is you got to consider quarterbacks to be in most cases overdrafted.
49:24
When I say overdrafted, that's not a negative comment. It's just if you
49:30
like them, you better take them a lot sooner because they're not going to
49:34
be around longer. That's why a guy like maybe JJ McCarthy's going to go
49:37
a lot. I mean know you've asked about him in weeks ago, and
49:40
yeah, he's going to go a lot higher than people might think. Well
49:44
why well, because of the supply and demand factor, and so you have
49:47
to factor that in the later you're drafting. Well, you know you might
49:52
be taking guys a lot earlier, maybe as much as around and a half
49:58
the two rounds higher than they shou Let's finish this segment talking one of the
50:02
quarterback and then I want to get some college on the after the break here
50:05
with you. When you look at a guy like Joe Milton the third I've
50:08
seen his name, you know, you just talk about these articles pop up
50:10
in different places that he may be a guy that people take chances on third
50:14
round through seventh round? Is he the kind of guy from when you look
50:17
at his game? That is it just he hasn't been able to be developed.
50:22
I mean, we've heard a lot of hype behind this guy. He's
50:23
at Michigan Tennessee. Now it's coming up in the NFL. Or I mean,
50:28
this is this a league that he can play in? If that makes
50:30
sense? Well, the guy's got immense physical tooth size and arm strength are
50:35
there. It's never been accurate, and you know that's why he hasn't developed.
50:40
So I'm not high on him. Now, does it mean that somebody
50:45
might take him? Yeah, somebody could take them late, There's there's no
50:49
question about that. And somebody takes on them third fourth round. I think
50:52
you're passing up much better players, you know, at other positions to take
50:58
them that high. But just mentioned they're elevated, so maybe you'd take a
51:01
guy like that. I just don't have a lot of confidence. And that's
51:05
the type of guy you can develop. But later in the draft you get
51:07
guys that have physical skills that haven't been real productive, or you can get
51:12
really productive guys that lack the physical actim in that you ideally like. So
51:16
it's one of the two that are late. He's certainly the former, not
51:21
the latter. So but I'm not real thrilled about him. I think that,
51:25
yes, he needs to be developed, but what are you're developing.
51:29
You're developing a guy that's not royal actor doesn't give the get the ball accurately
51:35
the spots that you need to. And I think that's a problem, and
51:37
I think it's always been a problem and likely will always continue to be a
51:42
problem. But it doesn't mean that I don't think the guy deserves a chance
51:45
and won't get a chance because I do think he has intriguing physical quallemce Chris

Chris Landry on your radio segment two on a Monday, Chris la shift to
52:50
a little college football as teams are in spring practice. First off, I
52:53
want to get your take. I don't know if you had a chance to
52:55
really dive into the article that was out on the Athletic last week about this
53:01
super league proposal by some rich, rich people and some executives and such,
53:07
but it looks like more and more heat is coming down the pipe for college
53:13
football to have some sort of reform. It's just what does that look like
53:15
and who makes it happen? Yeah, I think that that is definitely what
53:22
it feels like. There's a separation and a and a kind of a status
53:28
separation, if you will. But it is very difficult and everybody speculates,
53:32
well, it could be this or that, and I mean I think everybody
53:36
kind of nibbles around it because we don't really know. I mean, I
53:38
think every possibility or every setup comes with some challenges and and and hurdles.
53:47
I think we have to And this is again I said this a bunch.
53:52
We don't have anybody looking out for the overall leadership of college football. I
53:58
mean everybody. It's it's every body for themselves. So camp lame, you
54:02
know, Greg Sanky or Tony Pettittier, you know, for looking out for
54:06
their conferences. But what is best for the SEC or best for the Big
54:12
Ten is not necessarily what's best with the overall college football. I mean,
54:15
do we want a sport where it's basically just thirty teams? I mean maybe
54:20
we do. I mean, I'm it's a rhetorical question, but it's how
54:24
do you want it? I mean that could be. So that means that
54:27
no one else is really in a position. And there's some people I talked
54:30
with an assistant a d yesterday last week, rather and the timos made to
54:36
me, the espns and the Foxes of the world, they don't want to
54:39
have the TCUs of the world on TV. They want to have you know,
54:45
Texas and Alabama and LSU and Oklahoma or Georgia and you know and and
54:52
I mean, that's what they want. Maybe that's where we're headed, and
54:57
maybe we're gonna separate into some form of an AFC NFC in college football.
55:04
I don't know what happens to the rest of them. How does that play
55:07
out? Are they lawsuits? I mean, and that gets into areas that
55:12
I just and I don't know what to make of it. But yeah,
55:15
the changes are coming. I don't know how it's gonna all settle in and
55:20
coalesce together, though, Chris, I know we've talked with you. You
55:22
know a lot about ole Mississippi State obviously being right here in this in this
55:27
state. But when you look at now the expectations of this Ole Miss program
55:32
where we're looking at some stuff from some other riders nationally, a lot of
55:35
people say, hey, look, this is the team that can go win
55:37
a game in the playoff. Not only can they get to the playoff,
55:38
they can go in a game in the playoff, they can final four in
55:40
the playoff. Are you when you look at Ole Miss and I know you've
55:45
got a lot to do before we get to the season, and just really
55:46
evaluating these rosters and such, and we'll see what happens. With this transper
55:50
portal wonder that's coming up, and you know, some of these chess pieces
55:52
will move around again. But and we've talked about this, this is the
55:57
most anticipated or Miss football season maybe ever the program. Are you on board
56:00
with everybody else that they blank Kiffin has that type of team this year?
56:07
First of all, I think it is the only one I could think about
56:10
that's bigger. And I know I'm dating myself here, but nineteen sixty nine
56:17
or am I missing it by year? I can't remember back when you didn't
56:22
have many games on TV. I remember ABC thing we're going to move the
56:25
ole Miss Alabama game on and that was kind of a because those two teams
56:30
are national championship contenders back in long time ago. It's a new era.
56:37
It's playoffs expanding, and you know, I think some would look at ole
56:43
Miss, at least in the media, that hey, they might be contenders
56:45
even if we were just fourteens, and could they absolutely make the playoffs?
56:50
And oh absolutely, people think that. I think this is a good team.
56:54
I think it's going to be interesting to see how they handle and manage
56:59
the expectation. So I think ole Miss has done a really good job and
57:04
I thought last year was gonna think maximizing kind of who they are in winning
57:08
games that they should win. But getting over that hump is where you need
57:14
to continue that. But get over that hump? Can they do that?
57:16
Can? Is it going to be a difference against Alabama because Nick Saban's not
57:21
there? I think that's gonna be the key. Yeah. I think this
57:25
team is good. I think that when you see things like, well they're
57:30
top five, Well what's top five? I mean, to me, there's
57:34
a gap between. You take a Georgia in Ohio state roster and there's a
57:39
gap. So to me, it's one in two and there's a gap.
57:43
So three to maybe eight or nine or ten might be interchangeable. I think
57:50
Old Miss could be in that conversation at three or eight. But there's to
57:53
me, there's no difference. And I'm curious to see how it all develops.
57:59
And I think if they end up, you know, having a season
58:02
that's fall short of those expectations, that's going to be frustrating because quite frankly,
58:07
I still think the program is in great shape and in good shape.
58:12
But if they if they go ten and two, is that a disappointment?
58:15
I don't think so. I think that's a great year, but maybe they're
58:17
expecting more this year. Chris Landry talking football college in the NFL on a
58:22
Monday. Make sure to find him on Exit Landry Footballandry football dot com.
58:24
Chris one more question, Let's talk Georgia. Are you you know when you
58:28
look at the quarterbacks in the SEC this year, Jalen Milroe, Jackson Dark
58:31
Quinn, youewrs. You can go down the list here, but Carson Beck
58:36
is getting a lot of love as a odds on favorite right now to win
58:37
the Heisman. And that makes sense because we know that award is going to
58:40
go to the best player on the best team. Is what do you see
58:45
when you see Carson Beck? I see a guy that really played a lot
58:50
better as the season went along. He grew and developed his decision making his
58:55
poise very good. I think people kind of lost side of it that after
59:00
losing the Alabama Conference championship game. I think the guys got lots of talent,
59:07
and he's got lots of intangibles, and he's on a team. We
59:10
doesn't have to play hero ball now. It used to be that if you
59:15
play well and your team wins, big advantage on winning a Heisman. If
59:22
it's going to be all about numbers now, it's probably not going to be
59:25
ideal for that. Now. I think I would put him in that upper
59:30
tier as well, because I think he has not only the ability to do
59:34
it, but I don't think the numbers are always or are going to be
59:37
gaudy compared to some others, because you know, like Jaydan Daniels wanted because
59:42
he carried LSUS, he doesn't have to do that, and some of the
59:45
other Heisman guys have done that. He was their team catl Williams was.
59:51
I think Carson Beck is going to be a really good quarterback on a really
59:53
good team and he's got to steer the ship. And I think if he
59:59
does that and he makes pivotal plays in pivotal games, uh, that maybe
1:00:05
might determine whether they win or not down the stretch, that might be enough
1:00:07
for him to certainly be in that in that that race. I got a
1:00:12
few seconds here. Let me ask you one more why I got Tom Brady
1:00:14
cook same question Missouri. How high can he take Missouri this year? I
1:00:22
think I think he's good. I think he's talented. Now, I think
1:00:24
he's going to have to play like better back comparison of just talking about let's
1:00:29
Beck, I think he's going to have to do a little bit more.
1:00:31
I mean, I think certainly they were very good offensively. I'm curious to
1:00:35
me, it's about how well will that defense play without Blake Baker running it?
1:00:39
What will they look like? To me? That is the difference.
1:00:43
I think Cook's gonna have to score a lot of points. That offense is
1:00:45
going to have to be high flowing because I don't know how good that defense
1:00:50
is going to be, And that's going to really determine how high they how
1:00:53
high they can go this year. Make sure to find him on Exit Landry

1:02:27
right, let's see here. I don't know what Brad's talking about Losers sec
1:02:31
OUMPS at state game in Birmingham. JC Jake basically just said anything that throws
1:02:39
water on his ole Miss narrative is propaganda. It is really sad to see
1:02:45
him devolve into this. It's hard to watch, which brings me to my
1:02:49
question, what is more hyper inflated the economy or Jake's belief in ole Miss?
1:02:54
Beaver, would you like to answer this? Okay, you know earlier
1:03:01
I got lumped, so I've got to step in and not let you get
1:03:09
You didn't get lumped. But Jac's now now, Jay, this time JAC
1:03:15
is trying to misrepresent what you said because you were quoting this this foolish writer
1:03:22
who has ole Miss and Notre Dame in the final four of the playoffs in
1:03:29
football, and you said, uh oh, he's a propagandist, and you
1:03:36
were actually quoting you were referencing JC because j C is the one that keeps
1:03:40
calling you a propagandist, so correct. I can't. I can't let him
1:03:44
jump on you for this one. But it is it is not well,
1:03:49
let me ask you this, is it out of the realm to think that
1:03:53
ole Miss and Notre Dame both could not be in the final four? Outside
1:03:59
the realm to think they could, like, is it is it possible as
1:04:03
they could be both? Yeah? And Crazy World. Anything's possible, but
1:04:11
no, not no, not likely. It's not even I put three percent
1:04:18
odds on them both being in the final four. Yeah, it would be
1:04:21
tough. I mean I've got right now and I haven't posted this. I
1:04:26
mean, we've got a lot of stuff on CFBO, wereglass dot com,
1:04:28
a lot of team specific stuff that you can go read. We're gonna really
1:04:30
start getting that out there. I mean it's out there to read, but
1:04:32
haven't pushed it a whole lot, just been putting material up there. I'll
1:04:35
put this out. I've got Ole Miss hosting a first round game. I
1:04:40
don't think they're gonna get a bye. They would have to win the SEC
1:04:43
against Florida State. And then I've got Miami with a bye because I think
1:04:47
they win the ACC. But I think Ole Miss can give Miami a game.
1:04:51
Now, don't have all Miss going past the second round. Same for
1:04:55
Notre Dame. I've got Notre Dame hosting a playoff game against Tennessee. But
1:05:00
that I have Tennessee beating Notre Dame. I could see Notre Dame beating Tennessee,
1:05:04
but then that's the thing. When you get to the second round,
1:05:06
you're gonna be matched up against the Georgia, an Oregon, A Central Florida
1:05:14
or Utah. That would be your winnable game, you know, the Big
1:05:16
twelve champion and then the ACC champion. So it'd be tough for both of
1:05:20
them. That means both of them would have to knock off somebody that there
1:05:26
would both be underdogs in let's see here, Nails. I've known Jake long
1:05:31
enough that if he is talking anything positive about ole Miss, then he believes
1:05:35
it. I assure you it hurts him to give us props. Oh,
1:05:39
it doesn't hurt me, Nails, but he's absolutely right. Like I do
1:05:42
actually believe in this Ole Miss team. How can you not believe in this
1:05:45
team? They want eleven ball games? What does that well, of course
1:05:51
you live and breathe. I'm talking about we're talking specifically about the final four
1:06:01
of the playoffs. I don't believe in that. You're saying you could see
1:06:06
them in the playoff, but the final four is yeah. I mean,
1:06:11
if we're expanding it to include everyone in the world, then yeah, they
1:06:14
can. Of course they can make a Top twelve playoff. What I don't
1:06:18
buy what I don't believe in that right now, is the getting to the
1:06:24
Final four, getting into the playoffs and winning two games. I got you
1:06:30
to get there. It's two separate animals. Yeah, essentially, Jason and
1:06:35
Flagstaff. The economy is always over inflated, regardless of whoever's in office.
1:06:40
The metrics only measure millionaires in the stock market for a reason. They don't
1:06:44
care how much milk is Brooks Ey Macjack Beaver set this man straight. No
1:06:50
way Jake believes in all this. To see, I'm in a precarious predicament
1:06:57
here. I've got JC and people of his ilk. Don't you use that
1:07:01
term ilk? Yeah, thinking I'm a propagandist, and I got people like
1:07:05
Nails and Brooksy that have known me forever that are true blue Ole Miss fans,
1:07:10
saying I don't know that Jake really believes what he said. So which
1:07:14
one is it? Am I a propagandist? Or do I not believe in
1:07:16
Ole Miss? It's you're more of a propagandist. Well, now those are
1:07:26
two opposites. My mind is I don't know. This is hard now because
1:07:30
I can't figure this one out. This is a good we need to bring
1:07:34
Chris. You've got to come back in here. Maybe JC comes in one
1:07:40
day, JC and Chris Brooks. But if Jac's AI, he can't come
1:07:46
in here. Oh yeah, I don't know how to settle any of this.
1:07:50
Then, j C. If you're AI, get out of here.
1:07:58
If you're a real human, come in. Speak up. Do you see
1:08:02
a scenario where ole Miss could play for the SEC title game or for the
1:08:05
SEC Championship, make it to the title game? Yeah? If they put
1:08:12
the same team on the field last well, same team plus these you know
1:08:18
transfer portal folks that we're getting all hot and bothered about, which is the
1:08:21
reason that they're gonna go so deep in the playoffs. Yeah, I can
1:08:27
see that. Maybe possibly, likely not, but I can see it like
1:08:32
a crazy world, anything possible. Yeah, Ole Miss. Again, if
1:08:36
you look at their schedule and Chris says he's not messing no AI. Should
1:08:41
we create an AI version of Chris Brooks? How can you do that?
1:08:46
Oh? I can? You know? I love full over of that stuff,
1:08:50
I know, and I hate it so much. I hate so much
1:08:55
about the AI that you choose to use. Let's see ole Miss Furman,
1:09:00
Middle Tennessee State Wake, Georgia, Southern Kentucky and at South Carolina. They
1:09:05
should be undefeated, they play LSU. I think All Miss beats LSU again
1:09:13
this year they get a bye week. That Oklahoma game is going to be
1:09:17
one. You really want to circle right there. If they can be undefeated
1:09:20
going into the bye week. But look, if they beat Oklahoma and then
1:09:24
Arkansas, if Georgia is their only loss, they likely get in. But
1:09:30
again, we don't know the tiebreaker. I haven't looked deep enough, Like
1:09:33
what if there's three one loss teams Texas, Georgia and Oklahoma or Texas,
1:09:36
Georgia and Ole Miss. Then I don't I haven't looked at the time breaker
1:09:40
to see. Let's see here. What are you smirking at? You got
1:09:45
something? It's text? Oh, let's see here. Turn ferguson Joseph.
1:09:57
What does he say, Joseph go Rebels would be so proud of Jake Wiber
1:10:00
What do you mean, Joseph guebbles? My god, you got heard?
1:10:06
Oh man? Who is that? He was a Nazi propagandist in the forties.
1:10:17
Good god? So now I am getting compared thrown in with Nazi propagandists.
1:10:24
I can't win for losing on this show. I'm telling you I can't
1:10:26
win for said I'm sorry, Yeah, Turd, it might be a little
1:10:32
much. Hey man, I'm just telling you. I see what I see.
1:10:38
I take the blinders off and I try to look into stuff objectively.
1:10:42
That's a good football team in Oxford. It's a real good football team.
1:10:45
Now, could the wheels fall off? Could they be eight and four?
1:10:49
It's possible, But I mean, this team won eleven games last year and
1:10:54
the guys they brought in in the transfer portal are no joke kind of guys.
1:10:59
Let's see, Brooksy didn't have Jake as the Nazi on my bingo guard.
1:11:02
Neither did I. Chris neither did I. I mean it is uh,
1:11:08
he said. Turd said, it was kind of comical, though I
1:11:10
had no idea that's where we would end it today. But you never know.
1:11:14

1:12:54
that we needed to know about Laura's gym into the year show, did we
1:13:00
or do we know Laura? Yeah, it's his daughter. Oh well maybe
1:13:03
he did want us to know that. Are you going now that you have
1:13:08
this? If I'm invited? I think that was your invite. Let's see
1:13:13
here, JM. Jake, I was in the poker room last night at
1:13:15
a Maristar, stopped by the sports book. It's really nice. It rivals
1:13:18
one of the rivals those in Vegas on about a two to one scale.
1:13:23
I haven't been there since they redid it, redid both. No, this
1:13:26
is very very nice. Thank you for that, JM. I hope you
1:13:28
had a good time down there. Unnamed Texture. If Jake is a propagandist,
1:13:32
explain his Michigan pick last year. Aha, see see that's just straight
1:13:39
calling it as I see it, straight calling it. But see I was
1:13:42
called a big ten propagandist last year. It's amazing how that that all changes,
1:13:46
right, that all changes. But I'm not on Michigan this year.
1:13:49
I mean, Michigan's got a long way to go, a lot to build
1:13:53
back on. Give us A call six er A one eight nine seven one
1:13:56
zero five nine. That is the Malone roofing call the line. Let's go
1:13:59
to Gator Matt, welcome in Happy Monday. Jake, you go outside earlier?
1:14:04
I did spend a little time outside. Yes, can we chalk this
1:14:09
up as being one of the dumbest sam things that we have done? Yes?
1:14:13
What are we doing? And it's not even it's eighty percent? I
1:14:17
mean, what is that? I mean, what do we do? Are
1:14:21
we flattening the curve? I think so? I think that's a great way
1:14:26
to put it. You never see anything like it, Jake. People are
1:14:29
just so excited. You know, let's let's post. Let's post you did
1:14:32
it to Jake. Don't say you didn't because everybody posted it. Everybody's got
1:14:36
to post the toenail sun whatever it was. That's the dumbest thing I ever
1:14:41
heard up. Did you who's Kentucky gonna get Who's Kentucky gonna go out and
1:14:45
get it? They hire anybody yet, not yet, but it looks like
1:14:49
they could be going after the Yukon coach after tonight. They're just the Alabama
1:14:57
of a basketball, aren't they? They just they can go get whoever they
1:15:01
want. If they don't go get Billy Donovan, because I mean Billy Donov
1:15:05
he's coaching the bulls. I mean, come on, go back to college.
1:15:09
You're wasting your time. Billy Donan will be a home run. But
1:15:14
anyway, good for Cali Perry. They go to Arkansas and they'll have more
1:15:18
money there and he can do whatever he wants whatever. He could drop motorcycles
1:15:24
with women on the back of it. See you that is true. I
1:15:28
mean, you think about it, John Cali Perry felt a squeeze play coming.
1:15:32
He knew that probably next year if he got another deal or another year,
1:15:36
it was win or go home. So you go to Arkansas where they
1:15:40
got a ton of money. They've won in basketball, obviously not at the
1:15:44
level of Kentucky. Does he can go there and ride the Sweet sixteen for
1:15:49
the next five years? Can't he get paid a lot of money? You
1:15:54
know? I think? I mean it's Cali Perry, it's a huge name.
1:15:59
I think there's gonna be not as many expectations because Kentucky's just had this
1:16:06
constant stream of one and done great players, great players. I think there's
1:16:12
gonna be a lot more pressure and expectations with him coming to Arkansas, maybe
1:16:18
than a lot of people would think, but not to win it him immediately,
1:16:26
right, it shouldn't be. But we just talked the other day about
1:16:33
how crazy a lot of these Arkansas people are with their woo pig suiy chant
1:16:42
and all that. How odd that is. Oh yeah, they got you
1:16:45
know, they we got money, money, money, money, money,
1:16:49
money, we ot Walmart money, all that business. So no, I
1:16:53
think there are gonna be some out of whack expectations. And you're probably right.
1:16:58
I mean, there will be some of that. So the numbers are
1:17:00
in, let's see for the women's basketball championship. Eighteen point seven million people
1:17:05
watch the women's national championship game. Did you watch any of it? Same
1:17:10
number as the Washington Texas college football playoff semi final, Higher than last year's
1:17:15
Georgia Alabama SEC Championship game. As Stuart Mandel says, just to think two
1:17:20
years ago the same event drew four point five million. I would call this
1:17:27
an outlire, though, wouldn't you? Because you had the young lady for
1:17:30
Iowa, you had South Carolina going for greatness in it to run the whole
1:17:35
table, didn't lose a game all year, So I felt like there was
1:17:39
a lot a lot of that build up. Yeah, now I'm with you.
1:17:42
That first off to go undefeated, though, that is pure insanity thirty
1:17:46
eight. No, that's crazy talk. Yeah, but I'm with you.
1:17:51
How is it gonna go next year when there's not a Caitlin Clark playing,
1:17:56
when there's not an Angel Reese playing, what's gonna happen with women's basketball?
1:18:02
I mean, it'll be fine, of course, but it's gotten bigger.
1:18:05
But I don't think we're gonna see these massive ratings the past couple of games
1:18:12
we've seen. No, I think you're right. How many people watch WrestleMania?
1:18:15
You watch? Did you watch all of it? Yeah? How was
1:18:17
it? You know? I don't watch these things. It was Saturday night?
1:18:20
Was it was good? I guess decent to good? Last night was
1:18:29
better? I guess. I don't know. You need to talk to rafael
1:18:33
A Sparza about it. That man texted me and said, I give last
1:18:38
night a d Really? Are there just no superstars in that game anymore?
1:18:44
Is that why they're bringing back The Rock and the Undertaker to these events?
1:18:47
Oh, there's there's superstars, but that in that world though, they call
1:18:55
everyone in their organization. They call every wrestler a WW superstar. So what
1:19:02
is the real superstar? Right? Six? Hour one eight, eight,
1:19:05
five, three, seven, seven six. If you want to give us
1:19:08
a text that is the Cowboy Maloney's text line. Let's see here a couple
1:19:12
other things we're gonna get into as we move into hour number three. Fans
1:19:15
are still stunned the Master's Obviously it's Master's Week. You'll have an opportunity to
1:19:21
win some prizes courtesy of MISSIPI, Legends Ground likely our friends at Lavac's.
1:19:26
I got to talk with Lovacs make sure. But we're good on some things.
1:19:29
But the Master's coming up. Just need your picks on the text line.
1:19:31
Who you think is gonna finish one, two or three? If you
1:19:32
want to go in and start submitting that you can, just so you think
1:19:35
it's gonna finish one, two, three, and fans done. Though,
1:19:39
the Master still has some of the lowest concession prices compared to other big events.
1:19:43
Let's see here turn Ferguson. I think all of it was trash,
1:19:48
but it was really cool for nostalgia. The nostalgia factor in the last match.
1:19:56
Would you agree with that? Yeah? It was a pretty neat sequence
1:20:01
of events, except for the Undertaker showing up absolutely pointless made no sense.
1:20:09
I did see a quick video on that on x It seemed like everybody got
1:20:12
really riled up about it though. Oh yeah, Undertaker is the greatest thing
1:20:17
ever in the world. But showing up where they put him in that spot,
1:20:25
turd. That made absolutely no sense to the storyline or the match or
1:20:30
any of that. They just wanted to bring him in. The ree Lyrics
1:20:33
says, I just wanted to hear the glass break. Yes, that makes
1:20:36
sense. I wondered about that too, didn't happen. What's that a glass
1:20:42
break? What does that mean? Stone cold? Oh? Okay, okay,
1:20:46
all right, we'll get into some other stuff as well. Also,
1:20:49
a Canadian football team once drafted a deceased player a year before another franchise.
1:20:55

1:22:30
sports dot Com on Kentucky so getor Matt had poised. Did we make and
1:22:35
I'm paraphrasing too much of this whole experiment today. I mean, we've had
1:22:40
eclipses before we truck, you've had blood moons and all this stuff. Was
1:22:44
this way overblown today maybe a little bit, but no, it's neat.
1:22:55
It's a neat thing. Just because our weather was trash, it didn't cooperate
1:23:02
here. But like I saw something on Facebook earlier my my half sister who
1:23:08
lives in Cincinnata, Like she posted pictures like they had Wait, what I
1:23:12
didn't know you had a sister, half sister. You've never even told me
1:23:15
this half okay, well because I only halfway care, okay, but no,
1:23:26
like she was posted pictures earlier, like they had like outdoor public gatherings
1:23:31
that looked it looked that looked pretty neat. Of course they had nothing but
1:23:36
blue skies and sunshine out there, right, But now it was a little
1:23:43
I mean, it was a little bit crazy some people, it did seem
1:23:47
like some overdid it. Some may have overdone it, but it's a neat
1:23:54
thing. We're not going to see it again for twenty years, and you
1:23:56
know you'll likely be dead by them. So twenty years, I'm okay with
1:24:02
it, with what me being gone in twenty years. Well now then on
1:24:06
the eclipse, the eclipse, and I'm okay with the coverage that it got
1:24:13
very good. I don't want you to perish. I don't know, start
1:24:15
to wonder. Let's see here, Jason and Flagstaff. You can text a
1:24:17
six or one eight eight five three seven seven six yep Undertaker Sierra Hotel,
1:24:24
India Delta for a guy who wrestled as a different character twenty minutes earlier.
1:24:29
Just too much cinema. Also possibly Joe coming off a big UFL weekend with
1:24:34
Zippo and Zippo here. Well, Joe, we still have an hour left.
1:24:39
Beaver's gonna give us his breakdown of the UFL weekend. We had that
1:24:43
on the notes to do. Anyway, let's go to DJ DJ welcome in.
1:24:47
Thanks Jack. I just read one plan on calling in today. I
1:24:51
take my line more to the shop service does on my way home. You
1:24:57
know, with social media and four seven news, you know how much guardage
1:25:02
we get. Oh, a lot of guards idea. Now, don't get
1:25:06
me wrong, I've said to a good friend of mine, I said,
1:25:11
you get it first on social media. You just don't always get it right.
1:25:15
And of course I've stopped watching twenty four to seven news because, let's
1:25:19
be honest, a news channel, whether it's right lan left leaning, if
1:25:24
it's based on ratings, it's designed to get constituents it and designed to put
1:25:29
out facts, so I don't listen to that. But I I thought we
1:25:32
were gonna get ninety percent darkness. Did you feel like that was ninety percent
1:25:36
darkness? No? I felt like even with cloud cover, and look,
1:25:41
I am by far in a stupid brain when it comes to much of anything,
1:25:45
much less science. But I felt like, even though the cloud cover,
1:25:49
we should see total darts because they were talking about darkness. But I
1:25:53
didn't see any of that absolutely, because you think about ninety percent, I
1:25:59
would think darkness would be with a full moon and a bright cloud of stars.
1:26:03
Wouldn't that be like ninety percent? That's what I thought we were going
1:26:06
to have, like about that much darkness, and then with the clouds,
1:26:10
I said, Yet, No, I was, I was. You know.
1:26:14
Of course, now I'm sure there are places that it was. And
1:26:16
course I'm sure we'll see better pictures on YouTube than TikTok and Twitter in the
1:26:24
next couple of days. But I was a little bit disappointed too, but
1:26:28
I will say I was not disappointed in the UFL. Did you watch it?
1:26:31
I did not, but I have a I haven't pulled up here ready
1:26:34
to talk about it. Well, let me get I two sent. The
1:26:40
skill play has been good in the past, but I think now that they've
1:26:45
combined the least, I think the play in the trenches is so much better.
1:26:49
It was good football and matc corall is the real deal. I wouldn't
1:26:55
be spies if he don't get picked up by an NFL team again. You
1:26:59
know me out some injury issues? Is that one guy I don't really remember.
1:27:02
Do you remember why he is out of the league? Something injury?
1:27:09
And then he had some I think some personal stuff. What's that would you
1:27:11
say be? But he looked real good anyway, Thanks Jack, Thanks appreciate
1:27:15
it. Six hour eight nine seven one five nine. Yet Joe wants to
1:27:19
know why we haven't said anything. Did you watch any UFL over the weekend?
1:27:24
No. I actually turned on a game the DC Defenders were playing.
1:27:30
I can't remember who, but it was halftime by the time I turned it.
1:27:33
There. I did hear the name Jordan Tiamu brought up, though,
1:27:38
but I didn't get to see anything because after that just didn't really care.
1:27:45
You got the Birmingham Stallions two and oh and the USFL Division, followed by
1:27:49
the Michigan Panthers and the Memphis show Boats they're both one and one, Houston
1:27:54
Roughnecks at zero and two, and then the XFL Division San Diego San Antonio
1:27:58
Brahmas had two and and the DC Defenders Saint Louis battle Hawks at one to
1:28:03
one, in the Arlington Renegades at o and two. Does that satisfy Joe?
1:28:11
I mean it should. You gave the stand ins last week, we
1:28:15
gave the lines on the games. I don't know how much more UFL coverage
1:28:24
he needs. I got you Rella named texture only totality causes darkness, anything
1:28:30
less does not, So then darkness was only in a few spots, like
1:28:33
in that one vein of whatever they kept posting out there. I still feel
1:28:41
like this is way overblown? Was it not? It would have been neat
1:28:45
if it worked out. That's what I'm saying. Our weather, our garbage
1:28:49
weather, our garbage cloud cover. That's that ruined it. But can this
1:28:55
be equipped the equivalent of an over hyped football team that didn't perform that didn't
1:29:00
meet expectations. Hmm, okay, I can go with you on this.
1:29:11
We're gonna compare this cause I basically thought it was gonna be like the black
1:29:15
Hole Sun video for Soundgarden. Do you remember that? Yes, So we
1:29:18
didn't have anything close to that, so comparable to what twenty twenty four ole
1:29:25
Miss is gonna be. I'm with you. So you think what was the
1:29:30
official name of this today? Is it just a clipse? Or do they
1:29:34
name this thing total eclipse? Not of the heart Bonnie Tyler style. Oh
1:29:40
okay, so you're calling ole missus twenty twenty four football season the total eclipse
1:29:45
of ole Miss football. You brought this up a team underperforming, so you
1:29:53
have them underperforming in twenty twenty compared to these dang expectations. Yes, but
1:30:00
because in my small brain I figured it for at least ninety seconds, I'm
1:30:04
kind of with DJ on this. The whole world was going to be bam
1:30:08
dark and then bam where the sun was out of the light again. So
1:30:15
wait, didn't have totality. So I feel like like this, it's like
1:30:19
the scientists on here just referenced our very own scientist, unnamed unnamed scientist.
1:30:29
I feel like we got Texas tech way too much hype and they lose in
1:30:33
week one like BYU. That's what I feel like happened here. Turd ferguson
1:30:39
Jake spitting more Ole Miss quarterback propaganda? Is this an ole Miss show?
1:30:43
Now? Res Dog? He says, I think the eclipse makes you solved.
1:30:51
They said it's affecting people. I mean, look, I've got a
1:30:55
article ted up down here. Where's it at on this whole deal? Let's
1:31:00
see people complaining the eclipse is making them sick, causing headaches and insomnia?
1:31:08
Yeah, where where are they claiming this? Does it? Say? What?
1:31:11
Where is this from? We'll have to get into that. Yeah,
1:31:15
I just don't you mentioned that before the show even started. In my immediate
1:31:18
thought then, and it still remains now, since you want to tease these
1:31:23
stories, I won't figure it out until later. But how can you claim
1:31:28
you're having insomnia? It just happened. You haven't even had a chance to
1:31:33
go to sleep yet. I have no idea. As we get ready to
1:31:38
go to break, Brad says, what is it a nice eclipse? I
1:31:41
don't even know if it's a nice eclipse right at least where I was at.
1:31:45
It wasn't even comparable to Maryland football. Hey, we're brought to you

1:33:15
Paul's two four seven Sports part of two four seven sports dot com erin thank
1:33:18
you so much for taking time. How are you, brother? I'm doing
1:33:21
all right. It's a little bit hectic right now, but I'm happy to
1:33:25
be on with you. Happy to do it now. Thank you so much.
1:33:27
I'm sure it is. So let me ask you this, when did
1:33:30
you start hearing that this was coming or potentially that John Caliparty was out and
1:33:35
you know, and for all places Arkansas? Yeah, it really it was
1:33:42
something I'd heard here and there throughout the weekend, but I, honest,
1:33:45
look to God, kind of brushed it off until about nine o'clock Eastern time
1:33:49
last night. That's when I started hearing, U it may be more serious
1:33:54
than we would have thought. And by about ten o'clock I kind of had
1:33:58
a pretty good read that it was gonna happen. So it really really happened
1:34:02
suddenly and quick. It was a shock to the system, a shock to
1:34:06
the city of Lexington statea Kentucky. You know, just two weeks ago,
1:34:11
Mix Barnhart publicly put out there on Twitter that John cal Perry would be back.
1:34:15
There was some talk of maybe they were ready to move on. They
1:34:18
had the money raised to buy him out at thirty three million if they had
1:34:23
to, and Mix Barnhart decided, no, we're gonna We're going to stay
1:34:27
the course. The two being cal Perry and Barnhart went on live TV here
1:34:32
in Lexington now with the UK's official broadcast partners. So there aren't any hearts
1:34:36
hitting questions, but the duo did you know, sit together and do an
1:34:40
interview together for I couldn't tell you the last time outside of his introductory press
1:34:44
topics that is that has happened. So it seemed like the two sides who
1:34:47
or don't have the best relationship, had kissed and made up a little bit.
1:34:50
But you know, less than two weeks later, we're here and he's
1:34:54
going to Arkansas, like you said, of all places, and it sounds
1:34:57
like he was flirting with Ohio State and US before that. So it just
1:35:00
seemed like he was ready to move on, and that's what's going to happen
1:35:03
here. Do you think it was a situation with the loss in the NCAA
1:35:08
Tournament. I mean, let me ask you this. From a distance,
1:35:12
the backlash looked like it was a lot. Was it more so, you
1:35:15
know internally from what you had from your listeners and readers, And was it
1:35:18
a situation maybe where he looked at it and said, Wow, I don't
1:35:23
know that I can take this team where you know deep enough. I mean,
1:35:26
it's like it's Final four or bust. I might need to pull the
1:35:29
ripcord before we ever even get to that point. So cal Perry is a
1:35:32
big He wants to be appreciated and loved, and these last four years have
1:35:36
not at all lived up to what Kentucky basketball is all about. It started
1:35:41
that COVID shortened season in twenty twenty one, when they went nine and sixteen,
1:35:45
the worst record in program history. They kind of were given a little
1:35:48
bit of a pass given that it was such an odd year. There were
1:35:50
so many different circumstances that no one had ever dealt with. What I mean,
1:35:56
obviously, there's not too much of an excuse because every other team had
1:35:59
the play with the same restrictions and all that, But Kentucky had a super
1:36:03
young team that didn't really get to be around each other, and it didn't
1:36:06
work out that year. And then the next year you have a really really
1:36:10
good regular season, but you fade out in March, you loose to Saint
1:36:13
Peters and people kind of still gave him another chance, like, hey,
1:36:16
it's a blimp, it's never happened before. He hasn't lost in the first
1:36:19
round. Duke had the Lehigh Mercer nightmares like it happened. Then the next
1:36:25
year you bring back the player of the year in Oscar Sheebe, and you
1:36:28
just have, by Kentucky standards, a mediocre season. Six Steed lose in
1:36:31
the second round of the NCA Tournament, lose right away in the SEC tournament.
1:36:35
Fans were probably kind of done at that point, but they were willing
1:36:39
to go with one more ride here because this recruiting class this past season was
1:36:43
the best in the country. Red Shepherd a beloved homegrown guy. They had
1:36:47
a great regular season once again, won some really tough road games, and
1:36:53
then they faded out in the postseason, and by that point everyone was just
1:36:56
ready to move on. And it didn't seem like that I was going to
1:37:00
be the case. And I think the fan base was ready to support the
1:37:02
team that I wouldn't say anyone was happy that John Caliperr was coming back,
1:37:06
but they were ready to get their support behind the players and hope that next
1:37:11
year could be better. But now I think everyone's kind of a little bit
1:37:15
relieved that it's it's working out this way. Ergashawan on your radio Talk in
1:37:18
Kentucky Basketball Kentucky Sports Monday edition of the program. Make sure to find him
1:37:23
on Twitter at Agershawn ninety nine, and of course check him out at the
1:37:26
Cats Palls two four seven on X as well. All Right, so you
1:37:29
are a Connecticut native. Are we looking at the next Kentucky basketball coach tonight
1:37:36
in Dan Hurley? I don't think so. I just don't think the time
1:37:41
is right for that to be for early one. He's the Northeast guys from
1:37:44
obviously New Jersey, deep roots coaching high school up there. He was at
1:37:47
Wagner, then he was at Rhode Island and obviously Yukon. So I don't
1:37:51
think that's going to happen. I think they'll probably call and try. It'll
1:37:56
probably be a quick no. I think they'll reach out to Billy Donovan,
1:37:59
who's obviously been in the NBA for a while, probably say no, and
1:38:02
then probably going to also reach out to Jay Wright, but actually now someone
1:38:05
who's pretty close to gay right, I don't think that guy has any interest
1:38:10
in coaching again. So I think the likely two guys we're going to be
1:38:13
looking at here are going to be Scott Drew a Baylor and NATO's at Alabama.
1:38:15
I really think it's going to come down to those two guys. Kentucky
1:38:18
now that they don't have to pay a dime of John cal Perry's remaining salary,
1:38:24
there's no buyout money, but they're off the hook when it comes to
1:38:27
all this money that he had guaranteed to him through the twenty eight to twenty
1:38:30
nine season. They can afford Nato to buy out and afford to make him
1:38:36
one of the highest paid, if not the highest paid coaches in college basketball.
1:38:40
So if they want him, money won't be the issue. And then
1:38:43
Scott Drew is a guy that athletic director Mix Barnhurt has a long relationship with,
1:38:47
has a lot of respect for obviously built Baylor into a perennial contender at
1:38:54
a tough, tough place to win. So I think it's going to come
1:38:57
down to those two when we're all set and downe let me pivot real quick
1:39:00
while I got some time here, talk a little Kentucky football, your kind
1:39:03
of gauge on what this team could be this year. Brock Vandergriff comes over
1:39:08
from Georgia. What the expectations are for him and for this Kentucky team this
1:39:13
year. Yeah, So the spring's a little hard to gage right now.
1:39:15
We've only got one open practice and Kentucky's a little beat up defensively. They've
1:39:20
eat the scholarship defensive lineman injured. Now. I don't know how serious any
1:39:26
of them are. I know Dean Walker, obviously their best player, i'd
1:39:29
say, is going to be fine. He'll be ready for spring or for
1:39:31
a fall camp. Rather. He just had an offseason procedure clean up type
1:39:35
thing. So it's a little hard to read there right now. I would
1:39:40
say Brock Vandergriff, from everything I've heard, has had a really good first
1:39:43
camp. He's really taken on a leadership role quickly, which was not something
1:39:46
we heard with Devin Larry last year. So that's a really good tign.
1:39:50
I've heard a lot of good things about the tempo with the offense being a
1:39:55
lot quicker, and that is to be expected with how Bush Handen's always kind
1:39:59
of run things. The Boys of State a couple of games to called the
1:40:01
Missouri and then Washington, so there's a lot of excite, a lot of
1:40:04
excitement for what the offense might look look like, especially in the wide receiver
1:40:09
room where you return Dan Key, you return barry On Brown, and you
1:40:14
have a bunch of guys coming in either from that from that portal and even
1:40:17
a freshman Harley Gilmore. They're really excited about. So offensively hearing a lot
1:40:21
more chattered defense a little hard to get a read on, but as long
1:40:26
as they're healthy, I feel pretty good about them. In the front seven,
1:40:29
actually really good with the d lineman they have, and then the linebacking
1:40:32
corps with Jamians, Tom Johnson from Georgia, Derrick Jackson longtime starter there.
1:40:39
But the secondary outside of Max Harrison is where the question marks are. So
1:40:44
a the better answer on the defense when we see him healthy in the fall.
1:40:46
But offensively have been pretty impressive with I've with what I've heard and even
1:40:50
saw during their one open practice so far. Ericashan talking Kentucky Sports Money,
1:40:55
edition of the program. I had one question on baseball Kentucky right now,
1:40:58
three game lead over Vanderbilt at eight and four, Kentucky's eleven to one twenty
1:41:01
seven and four. Was this type of performance expected out of the baseball team
1:41:06
this year? Yeah, I mean, I think there was a hope that
1:41:10
they could sustain what they did last year where they kind of came out of
1:41:14
nowhere to host a regional win a regional, but I couldn't. I didn't
1:41:18
think it'd be better. It has been an amazing start. I mean,
1:41:21
they're eleven to one in the league, tied with Arkansas there for first overall
1:41:26
in the SEC. The starting pitching of late has been fantastic. Dominic Diamond
1:41:30
the transfer from Connecticut State through a complete game shutout on Saturday. He's been
1:41:36
stellar on in that Saturday role, Mason Moore in the Sunday role. So
1:41:42
they've got it. They've got it rolling. And then then offensively, last
1:41:45
year they were really really relied on stolen bases, sax bonds, and small
1:41:48
ball. This year they still do some of that, but they have some
1:41:50
more power to them with guys who just have hit some more long balls,
1:41:56
like a million petre who I think we he had won last year as fourd
1:41:59
this year, and then a guy like Ryan Nicholson, the first baseman transfer
1:42:01
from Cincinnati's has some big time pops. So they're an exciting team to watch
1:42:06
and I think they're gonna make the Oyings the rest of the year. Make
1:42:10

1:43:43
I'm go ahead and tell you right now courtesy of a Maristar Casino Stone
1:43:45
cold lock tonight. Take purdueing the points you're getting seven right now, you're
1:43:53
getting a touchdown. Take Purdue. Connecticut may win the game, but they'll
1:43:58
keep it within that number. That seems like an easy win. This should
1:44:01
go down to the wire, like literally within ten points. So give me
1:44:05
perdue to cover the seven. What do you think? Do you have any
1:44:09
thoughts on this? Will you even watched? This is an eight twenty tip,
1:44:13
you'll be asleep by then. Such a lake tip. I want to
1:44:16
be asleep. Someone accused me of going to bed by seven the other day.
1:44:20
Now, look, you have created more propaganda, sleep propagandas But nah,
1:44:30
look eight twenty, I won't be asleep by then, but I'll be
1:44:33
getting there. I'll definitely begintting there. So I'll check in this. This
1:44:42
will be a game I'll check in on. Should be a dang good basketball
1:44:45
game. Two ones, you know in the one seeds a lot of people,
1:44:50
most people didn't pick it, and then two big guys that can really
1:44:54
get after it. Both teams can shoot. It should be fun. Let's
1:44:58
see here over on the Cawbo Maloney s text six one eighty five three seven
1:45:01
seven six Jeremy B driving back from West Central Arkansas. Now, totality was
1:45:06
pretty amazing. So it sounds like Jeremy made the trip. See, so
1:45:11
what I'm telling you, if it, if it worked out and you were
1:45:15
in a spot where you could get that, I bet it was really cool.
1:45:20
Well why did they try to tell us everybody was gonna get this?
1:45:24
Well, they said down, they said we were gonna get ninety percent.
1:45:29
But That was before the forecast changed and the and the rain moved in.
1:45:34
Ronnie the eclipse was like what Ole Miss will be this year? All hype
1:45:39
and nothing more. Wouldn't you agree with Ronnie earlier? No, they won't
1:45:46
be all hype. I'm talking about the playoff hype. The deeper run in
1:45:50
the playoffs, that's the hype. They'll be a good team, JC Jake,
1:45:57
this is judgment week for you. Earlier in the year, you said
1:46:00
that State wouldn't win a baseball series in Oxford. I don't know that I
1:46:04
said that. Do you still stand by this? And if when you're wrong,
1:46:09
can we expect the public acknowledgment and apology for your propaganda. I don't
1:46:14
know that I said that they would not win the series. Well, okay,
1:46:17
let me take you back and tell you exactly what you did say.
1:46:20
Don't When are you gonna stop testing my brain my memory for useless bull crap
1:46:28
words that are spoken here? So you said you said right before they started
1:46:34
SEC play you said they probably won't win a series the entire SEC season because
1:46:45
I thought of I thought about you. I swear I thought about you earlier
1:46:47
today and that exact statement. Because now they've already won two SERIESES SERIESES.
1:46:55
I don't know that you said it that I absolutely said it, because that's
1:46:59
when that's that's when jac started this because by you saying that, that's how
1:47:03
he started. So, Jake, you're telling me that they can't win a
1:47:06
series against ole Miss, and that's what started jc's updates on this baseball thing,
1:47:15
and you not saying that, Yeah, you said it. I think
1:47:18
the series said it could go either way. I think I could go either
1:47:21
way. Ole Miss could get the engine REVD and running and take off,
1:47:26
or State can continue to move the ball forward. We'll see it. She'll
1:47:30
be fun possumik Joe. I'll tell you what was overblown. What overblown was
1:47:35
Haley's comment in nineteen eighty six. It was my first senior year at Mississippi
1:47:41
State. Your first senior year, I mean, did you have, Joe,
1:47:45
or maybe my third sophomore year. Anyway, we went to check it
1:47:48
out at the MSU observatory. It literally looked like a fuzzy cotton ball.
1:47:54
Very disappointing. Talking about Haley's comment back in nineteen eighty six, also a
1:48:00
named Textera UFL officiating was way better than the NFL or SEC. The reviews
1:48:05
were great, they were fast. Even the extra point scheme was good.
1:48:11
I was surprised. Look, they're putting out a good product with the UFL.
1:48:14
They really are. It's a good product to highly encourage people to check
1:48:17
it out a little bit. Saint Louis vic Hey beav some somehow I got
1:48:21
pulled back into the WWE over the weekend. Cody rhodes Man. When will
1:48:28
Pat McAfee go away for a while. I would love to party with the
1:48:32
dude, but he's exhausting anything on the phones. So Saint Louis Vick says
1:48:38
he got pulled into the WrestleMania deal, got pulled back in this weekend.
1:48:42
Yeah, Pat McAfee is the worst. Was he on this? Yes,
1:48:46
he's back doing color commentary on Monday Night Raw and their pay per views,
1:48:54
and since WrestleMania was extended, I mean, the whole thing is a two
1:48:59
night event. The whole thing was the show itself. Forget the pre show.
1:49:03
I watch any of that, but we're talking eight hours. It started
1:49:08
at six, went off about ten both nights eight hours of Pat McAfee.
1:49:12
Really, he's it's so obnoxious and I get that We're talking about a whole
1:49:16
different world. Like it's the WWE, it's spectacle. It's not like you're
1:49:21
gonna watch a football game. But for the love of God, this dude
1:49:25
would just like it would start out just like Cody Rhoads and Seth Rowlands are
1:49:30
really coming strong, Like why why do you need to do that? Why
1:49:34
do you need to go so over the top? But isn't all wrestling over
1:49:39
the top? Yeah? I mean it's supposed to be a little over the
1:49:42
top. Yeah, that's what it is. But like his his ridiculous shenanigans
1:49:48
that he does on game day, take that by times like fifteen. Yeah,
1:49:54
I don't know that I could deal with that. Let's see here,
1:49:57
ohen possumate Jordan if you know you were on the phone. He's said that
1:50:00
Haley's comment was very disappointing. In nineteen eighty six, do you remember Haley's
1:50:04
comment? You don't remember that? Lesie here the real un named texture Yukon
1:50:10
by Fiddy. I don't know about that. Should be a good basketball game,
1:50:14
Dexter, stay up, beav. I will be on the way with
1:50:16
a sack full of crystals. So Dexter is gonna be bringing you some crystals?
1:50:20
Nice? How about that? Take them? JC? He listed out
1:50:26
the series schedule and said they won't win at Oxford beav and I will not
1:50:30
let him renig on this, Jake, I, Jake will Can we expect
1:50:35
a public acknowledgement of apology for your propaganda if you're wrong? Now I don't
1:50:40
know that I necessarily said they defiantly would not win the series. I can't
1:50:45
let you pigeonhole me into that. Now you didn't. You made the statement,
1:50:54
like I said, the blanket statement that they might not win a series
1:50:59
all year. And that's when Jac he started going specifically to the old miss
1:51:03
and then but you you tried to dodge it every time he texted in about
1:51:09
that specific series. You were dodging. But if they're not. But if
1:51:14
you said that they're not going to win a series all year, then that
1:51:16
would lead I understand where Jac's coming from, because then that would mean okay,
1:51:21
well there, then Jake Wimberley thinks they're not going to win this series.
1:51:27
J C's time I go on to the podcast, he said, don't
1:51:29
let me do this. I what I remember is the question was brought up,
1:51:33
can either team win ten games in conference, and I said, that's
1:51:38
going to be very tough. I thought, now states at six, well
1:51:42
misses at three. I thought that's what we were talking about. Somebody mentioned
1:51:45
this series, and I don't know that I gave a direction one way or
1:51:49
the other. I don't know how You're gonna look me in the eye and
1:51:57
question what I'm telling you about your words. Well, I just don't remember
1:52:04
that. Well, of course you don't. That's why I'm here. That
1:52:08
is true. The res dog. There's no doubt MSHU is going to lose
1:52:11
the series. Now, Hey, we're brought to you by Bailey Lumber.

David Murray, Chris Landry and Aaron Gershawn jumping on. We'll get that up
1:53:27
later on this week on the podcast, Speaking of jac said he's headed to
1:53:30
the archives. It's managed slicker than Bill Clinton. Oh come on, let's
1:53:35
see here, all right, And Jason and Flagstaff, Well, the eclipse
1:53:39
itself was disappointing, but the shadows on the ground were creepily awesome. Jason,
1:53:45
we don't get any of that over here, none of that. I'm
1:53:47
we'll get back to this. Baba asked me about this. There is an
1:53:49
article out here says people are complaining the eclipse is making them sick, causing
1:53:56
headaches and insomnia. Some people on social media year claiming that the total solar
1:54:00
eclipse of April eighth, which is today, is causing them to suffer strained
1:54:05
symptoms like sickness, headaches, and insomnia. In the United States, the
1:54:11
one hundred percent total solar eclipse, of course, began in Texas at one
1:54:15
twenty seven pm local time, and it ended in Maine at three p fifty
1:54:21
five pm four minutes and twenty seven seconds. For the rest of the nation,
1:54:27
located outside the path of totality, people were able to review various degrees
1:54:31
of the partial eclipse. While this is definitely a unique event for North America,
1:54:38
they actually happened from two to five times every year, and a total
1:54:43
eclipse occurs somewhere on the planet approximately every eighteen months, once every eighteen months.
1:54:46
So why are again, are we making such a big deal ou about
1:54:48
this today? Why was this one made such a big deal about now?
1:54:57
I was told that the next total eclipse was gonna not beat twenty forty four.
1:55:03
I don't know. I'm not an eclipse savant. We'll have a lunar
1:55:08
eclipse coming out soon, well, it says. Despite the regular occurrences of
1:55:12
solar eclipses, there's no shortage of conspiracy theories and people claiming it that it
1:55:17
causes them some sort of health issue. For example, The Mirror reported people
1:55:21
on social media claiming to feel physically sick, headaches, wiped out, weird,
1:55:29
insomnia, no appetite, suffering from other issues they are blaming on the
1:55:34
eclipse. According to NASA, there's no physical relationship between the total solar eclipse
1:55:41
and your health, and many more of these, and it says and more
1:55:46
than there is a relationship between your health and the new moon. Other misconceptions
1:55:50
NASA has tried to debunk include rumor that pregnant women should not watch the eclipse
1:55:56
because it can harm the baby. I didn't even know that was a thing,
1:55:58
did you. That it will poison any food that is prepared during the
1:56:03
event, that solar eclipses foretell major life changes in events, and that solar
1:56:09
eclipses six months after your birthday or on your birthday are signs of impending bad
1:56:14
health. I didn't know any of this was going on. So why are
1:56:17
people on social media claiming that this is affecting them in these ways? Like
1:56:24
you said, it just happened. How do they know that they have insomnia?
1:56:27
Yeah, exactly. You haven't even had a chance to go to bed,
1:56:30
so how would you know you have insomnia. I never heard of any
1:56:33
of these. By the way, this you just mentioned. The most ridiculous
1:56:36
one of those, I think to me was it would affect the taste of
1:56:41
your food. Hm. No, y'all. Pre these people already had something
1:56:47
going on in their heads. So can we start blaming everything negative? Take
1:56:53
it off Will Rogers and put it on the eclipse. Yeah, Will Rogers
1:56:57
has served his time. He's gotten aw to blame already. Let's go with
1:57:02
the eclipse. I think we should for now. You can bring you can
1:57:05
bring the Will Rogers blame back later, but for now, the eclipse.
1:57:10
Space ghost. I thought the last total solar eclipse was twenty seventeen. There
1:57:16
was a gentleman that was over one hundred years old that had seen I think
1:57:20
ten of these at least in his lifetime, which the math doesn't work,
1:57:24
but there you go. I at this point, I don't know I don't
1:57:27
know. I don't know what's a solar, what's a lunar? Nothing,
1:57:32
residog. We were also forced to believe mass would save the world. That
1:57:39
is true. Unnamed Textra. Remember the comet Haley Haley Bop. It was
1:57:45
incredible. You could see it very well. It was nineteen ninety five,
1:57:49
and it will be back in four thousand, three hundred and eighty five.
1:57:55
I don't know that any of us will be around, except for the one
1:57:59
guy. I don't know what you's going around on social media that's trying to
1:58:01
live forever. You see this some big tech guy out in California. He's
1:58:05
a billionaire and he's had like all of his organs measured like the life of
1:58:12
your Like your heart's this old, your ears are this old. I mean,
1:58:15
like he's taking these vitamins. It's it's like a hundred vitamins that I
1:58:18
mean he's going through that. He's literally trying to reverse his aging. Is
1:58:24
what he's trying to do is very it's a very weird flex. I don't
1:58:27
know that he's gonna be successful with that. White Denzel not being able to
1:58:31
see the eclipse today is Will Rogers fault. Very well done. Can we
1:58:35
blame that on will in Mississippi? Because I guarantee you he saw it in
1:58:40
Seattle, right, if he'd have been here, maybe we've seen it all
1:58:45
right, let's see here. Oh do you see this about? Can we
1:58:48
officially call Morgan Whalen trash? Is this guy? Just yes? I've been
1:58:54
trying to tell you that for a couple of years now. So what made
1:58:59
him want to throw a chair off a six story building? That's a great
1:59:02
question. Why would anyone do that? Like, well, not only that
1:59:09
six yeah, six story building. Let's think about then as it drops,
1:59:15
how much speed that's gonna pick up? Think about where it was Broadway.
1:59:18
That's not like it's a desolate place with only a few people walking around.
1:59:23
That place is packed. I mean for locals and tourists, they're always there.
1:59:30
You could have messed someone up, could have killed somebody. Yeah,
1:59:32
that's ridiculous. Why would you do that? Nothing will happen to him,
1:59:36
Nothing will happen to him, this trash man. Back in twenty twenty one,
1:59:41
when he dropped a hard racial slur and he got, he got,
1:59:45
he got. I thought that was it for him back then then he returned.
1:59:49
Then he comes back and he's making his he's being his normal trash and
1:59:55
now this and once again nothing will happen to him. And and saw his
2:00:00
mugshot. He was smirking in his mugshot. And let's not forget since we
2:00:05
started with old miss propaganda. We'll come back to Ole Miss on the end
2:00:08
of the show. He left those people standing at the altar on the second
2:00:13
night in Oxford last week last year because he was supposedly sick when there were
2:00:16
reports allegedly that he had partied too hard. Hmhm six stories. Throws a
2:00:24
chair. I mean that's a high Like I said, it's a high rate
2:00:28
of speed for a chair to tumble down on somebody's head. Yeah, And
2:00:31
I don't care if it's one story. Why are you throwing a chair off
2:00:34
a roof. That's gonna that is going to mess someone up just from one
2:00:41
story. No, I agree. I mean I've seen people before. This
2:00:45
was back in the college days. Somebody threw a half full bottle of coke
2:00:50
at a football stadium and it hit somebody in the back of the head and
2:00:55
it knocked him down. That's a half bottle of coke at a football game
2:00:58
thrown, you know, animly threw in the crowd and bam, somebody got
2:01:00
hit. Think about a chair six floors up going down onto a mass group
2:01:05
of people. Space ghost. How would he know that? He said he
2:01:14
the chair landed close to some police officers. It did, is it right?
2:01:17
Okay? So he's right on this. Yeah, okay, I didn't
2:01:19
know if he got in his time machine or what he was doing. Let's
2:01:23
see, So you're not watching the basketball again tonight? Now? Is that
2:01:25
all? Look at it? So you're misrepresenting me again, Well, define
2:01:30
looking at it. I'll look at it. I'll check in, you know,
2:01:31
I'll check in on a lot of these things now that okay. I
2:01:36
checked in last week on the Alabama Clemson game. That was fun. That
2:01:43
check in was I think about eight minutes of game time. Let's see,
2:01:48
churoh, too bad it didn't hit Taylor Swift? Was she present? Was
2:01:54
she? I'm not amused by that, Churro. How dare you this angel?
2:01:59
Was she in the vicinity when this was thrown? I don't think so,
2:02:03
I don't. I don't believe. I like to believe that in this
2:02:08
world Taylor Swift would not be anywhere close to Morgan Wallen. She wouldn't accept
2:02:15
that trash, but look at her boyfriend, so who knows anymore. Appreciate
2:02:18
David Murray, Appreciate Chris Landry and Aaron Garschong. Remember catch up. A
2:02:21
King Bacon's delicacy of loja means goodbye. I will be out on assignment tomorrow.
2:02:27
Don't hate me. Back on Wednesday. See you them
