• 2:08
  Speaker 2: my understand because I've heard King Chesney like do a
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: concert live there, right and it's like like women's underwear
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: bras are hanging from everywhere in that kind of like, uh.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's part of it. That's part of the lore,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I guess or whatever.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it's it's in anything goes total dive bar
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: on the beach that doesn't make sense, but makes sense,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: and they've actually made it a lot better.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: So the last twenty years, I've transitioned. I mean, I
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I only go once every few years, but
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it's a much more. I'll go in at two o'clock
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon, have a super ice cold beer and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: maybe a po boy, and then I'm out of there.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But hey, for the people who are still howling at
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the moon at midnight two and three am, more power to.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I will say this. I go to the floor of
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Bama Liquor store across the street. Okay, and I'm gonna
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: tell you this. This is kind of crazy because I
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: drive down because remember now Alabama, we don't have the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: lottery here. So I drive down to the liquor store
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: not to get liquor because I don't drink wondering, but
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I get me a donation to the Florida Education Fund,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: just like when I come to Mississippi, I make a
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: donation to you guys.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I love it and I'm.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Trying to listen, and I play six numbers and this
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: is the biggest gump in all I play national titles
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: from Alabama's years.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Of course, if I ever.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: If I ever win this thing, I'm gonna have to
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: split it with another Alabama fan because somebody else out
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: there is the same thing. They play the national championships. See,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you guys don't have that problem in old men like
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you know, you don't. You wouldn't have to wouldn't have
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to play six Numbers or Mississippi State. But over here
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: we have to decide which national titles we play. You know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: which ones are your favorite?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Mean, some of them are mythical, but y'all do have several,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt which one I give your sid.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I can't remember the article that I read years ago about.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: The sid Whyane Atkinson?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was savvy enough. I don't what was what
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: was this fifty sixty years ago or whatever in the.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Early eighties, in the early eighties, and he now works
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: for the Billy Graham Library up in North Carolina. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: he's a very highly integrity guy. But we had never
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: really claimed our national tale. We had so many of them,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it's like how many. And there's actually years that we
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: don't claim that we have.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Always good because some of them claim are bogus.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: That's okay. Forty one is the only when you can
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: go Yeah, forty one.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: One should go to Mississippi State, and people had made
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a strong case for that that they couldn't get back
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: from San Francisco after they won their last I don't
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: remember what bull I mean, there was only a few balls.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I can't remember what the story is, but something about
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: getting back the train broke down, blah blah. It's a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: great Johnny Cash story if it was, you know, I'm
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: kind of butchering it. But Mississippi State and because they're
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: so not savvy by by the nineteen seventies or eighties,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they should have claimed that nineteen forty one title easily
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: when you see what they did, so something like it was, that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Was a big year. It was a big year because
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: they never forget Pearl Harper because the day after they
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: won their only SEC championship if not a mistake?
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: In football? Yeah?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, I'll see. I know my
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Misssippi State history, and I respect Missippi State. I don't
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: respect Old Miss because that's the Alabama arrogance Vanderbilt trophy cabinets.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: A Mississippi State. I respect Ole Miss, do not Alabama
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: arrogance Vanderbilt trophy cabinets. What Old Miss is but I
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: respect State. I wish see I would connect with state
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: people down to earth. Just hey, I'm glad to be here.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Farm boys loved it. See that's that's me, right me
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: pubably should have went Misissippi State.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: And so I y'all played Old Miss this year after this, uh,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: this strap that you just did. Okay, so let's get
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: into Alabama. It's a weird time for y'all because it
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I can I can tell that your fan
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: base is restless. And y'all, y'all went to the college
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: football Playoff. You go on the road and get a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: good win against Oklahoma, and then you go out and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you get punked by basketball school that we're still trying
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to really wrap our brain around that they actually won
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the national championship in the Indiana Hoosiers. What what has
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the temperature been like since the embarrassment in the Rose Bowl?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, last week we featured my first radio host from Eugene,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Oregon kids younot and let me tell you why we
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: did this, because they also got punked by Indiana, right,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and it was like fifty five or whatever. But everybody
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: only forgets Alabama because we're healding different centers. I get that, yes,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: we should be as we should be. So I wanted
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to go out there and ask them where their fan
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: base is in the seven stages of grief of losing
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: today game okay, because the Alabama fans are still in
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: stage one and we've been like one hundred and eighty days.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: So I finally called the audience out. I said, guys, okay,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: either I'm going to have to get a sports psychologist
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: on the show to walk us through the seventh staates
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of grief. But we're still in the first phase. We're
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: not even made it to anger, which is stage two denial.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're still in shock, like because it was
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: it was a physical beating and there was some things
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: in that game that you didn't like, right, it appeared
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think they did, but it appeared like they quit.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: It was almost like, okay, oh, come on, let's just
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: get this sixty minutes. And that's not acceptable in Tuscaloosa,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and it's not acceptible with Calen a boor it's not
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: acceptable for the Alabama fans, the coaches, and let me
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: tell you this, the players going through off season training
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: right now have heard more about Indiana than they can
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: ever remember it. Anytime there's a you know, there's a
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: need of a motivation, all you have to say is
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: thirty eight to three. And the players understand that that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: last rep or that other lap, or that other stadium
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: bleacher that they've got to run is a reminder of
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: thirty eight to three. It has been a constant motivation
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: of the off of the offseason. So when you're puking
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: in a trash can because you've ran too many laughs,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: thirty eight to three. So trust me, those players remember
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: thirty eight to three two. And it's been a big
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: focus of the off season internally, not externally, but internally
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: inside that billy it was a big down.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: How roll tide? Ryan Fowler on The Game Tuscaloosa, he
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: joins us on the farm ro insurance guests on the show,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: is driven by your next g MC Sierra truck at
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: falor GMC Pearl Brandon.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: That's my cousin.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: How yes, there's no doubt, yeah, Ryan Fowler Fowler, GMC.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: How how much more salt in the wound is it?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Knowing that a former Alabama assistant that nobody knows in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the Alabama fan base was the head coach for Indiana
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: in Kurt Signetti because he was tucked way away, way
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: down on that staff when he was.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: There, and he was not a very likable guy. You
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: got to remember, the coaches really didn't connect with him.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: He was kind of a he was a really odd ball, right, really,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Frank kind of still he is, right, I mean, he's
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: still kind of got that quirkiness that is just kind
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: of awkward, and that's that's what he was here. I mean,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: if you talked any the coaches that coach with him,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: he was he was kind of a kind of an oddball. Yeah.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I mean from Greg Burn's standpoint, there has been some topics,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: you know, because he was in the same hiring cycle
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: as Kaylyn A. Boorr. You know should Greg Burn and
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: you know Greg Burn well as anybody, probably better than most.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I trust Greg Burns's evaluations. I mean he's had one
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: strikeout when you look at coaches, and that was Brad
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Bohannon that he hired from Auburn. You ever, never go
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: get Auburn's coaches. Okay, they get trained different, no telling
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: what they do. They go gamble on baseball and get
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: fired and all the different things. But Greg Byrn knows
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: how to hire coaches. You've got to trust his evaluation
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: process because he was brought to test the loosen to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: replace Nick Staban. And my understanding is the comprehensive analytics
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: that he went into calculating what have you been able
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to do with this much talent? What have you been
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: able to do with this much talent? And I do
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: think that he hired Kayln bore because Kayln Borr has
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: been able to do a lot with very little. You know,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Washington didn't have m dub didn't have this tremendous nile
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: fund when he got there. I think the board has
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: setting on record like less than one hundred thousand dollars
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: was in there nile fund when he got there. Uh,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: and they built that up. So I just trust Greg Byrne.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: When you look at hiring coaches and Klin the boor,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: it's you have to applaud a man who is willing
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: to raise his hand and say I'll follow Nick Sabans.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Or him crazy. But yeah, yeah.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that that too, that too. I mean, does
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: this fan base is crazy? It is? And listen, he's
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: had a chance, he had a chance, Listen, Michigan would
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: have rolled out the red carpet.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Oh that was that was done? What I mean, that's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: why Burn had to give him that what was it
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: seventy five million dollar contract or something.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't I don't think he was doing
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I never believed that Nicole or a Bach. I think
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: she had that wrong. I think she missed that.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe all I misspoke that there was heavy interest. Michigan
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: wanted him. How about that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think he ever engaged in anything. Jimmy Sexton
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: may have to use it for leverage. You know, Jimmy
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Sexton does Jimmy Sexton types things and you got credit. Listens.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: My fan base over here exploded when that contrast came down,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: like you're extended to God, whoa, whoa, whoa, Let let
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: improve it. But that's Jimmy Sexon. Jimmy Sexton's not going
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: to not get his client a raise when his client
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: was wanted by multiple different people. Right, Penn State wanted him,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Michigan wanted him. But the problem with Michigan was is
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: they offered him a blank check for both the ni
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: L and UH the salary. Hey phill, the suit checks out,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: and he said, no, I'm going to stay in touch.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: The loose to me that believes that that he's got
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: something special. But I also think he ENJOYSLUSA. I think
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: he enjoys the environment here. He's a competitor, you know,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: he's as he said, he's been doubted a lot of places.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Sure's his track record. I mean he had to work
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: his way up. I mean he won in the Midwest
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and then and then he like you said, he won
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: in Washington now and it hasn't been a failure by
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: any stretch in Tuscaloosa. Is just like you said, he
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: followed standers right. And it changed as he was taking
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the job. Everything changed to where you could never have
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: what Kirby and Saban had prior to this shift, you know.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: And now we've got the water down Bama, George L.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: S U will never be as deep all that. So, yeah, no,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: So And and he's going through because Nick Saban told
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you he couldn't do it. Because if he couldn't do
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: it at the pace that he was doing it, he
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have hung up the headset.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: No, I think he would have stayed a couple I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: agree he would have stayed at least a few more years.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And he was like, I'm good It was a good
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: move though, I think for Saban to become the voice
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: of college football and all that. All right, So roll
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: tid Royn Fewler one and nine in the game Tuscaloosa
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: on the out of bound ship. Alabama got a transfer
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: two of them. But let's talk about the offensive line
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: transfer from Mississippi State. Javon James. He played left tackle
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: for Mississippi State. Evidently the Alabama offensive staff thinks enough
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: of him to move a freshman All American at Alabama
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: from right tackle to right guard, and Javin James is
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: going to start at right tackle for the University of Alabama.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State transfer is that, right, Ron Fawler.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: He's got a great chance because when you come out
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: of the spring when we asked the question, because I'd
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: kind of heard, hey, Michael Carroll some get bumped inside
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and he played rock tackle, and I was going, hold
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: on a minute now that that doesn't really make sense
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: because they really don't have a lot of options unless
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: they're going to play either Nick Brooks or Ethan Fields,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: which you guys know a lot about Ethan Fields. Whereas
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: he gonna slide is like I kept trying to go, Okay,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I know they signed some virtual offensive lineman, but not
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: really like starters. Now, they did get a guy from
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Michigan that they think can possibly be down the road.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: But I'm trying to figure out what's going on. I
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: keep hearing this Michael Carroll bumping inside, and it simply
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: is because of the confidence that they have behind Javin
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: James that he's since he's walked in that building, he's
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: been an ultimate kind of professional. Now he's an older player,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: so he walks in understanding, Hey, I gotta get it,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I gotta get it right, I gotta walk in. I'm
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: given an opportunity. And in the spring he made them
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: feel comfortable enough that they moved a freshman All American
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: right tackle into Now that's different than All American for
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the Vanderbilt people. Listen, and you guys probably don't know
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: a lot about that, but Freshman All America is different
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: than All American. He was just recognized as a freshman
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: by Football Writers Association All Americans, but they bumped him
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: inside and he really fits that role. He's more of
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: a guard than he is a tackle. But he had
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: to play tackle last year because they just didn't have
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: any options. And so yeah, to make him feel and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: he's an IMG guy, big you know, big time recruit
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: was last year. But they're gonna slide him inside because
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: they feel so comfortable would jave And James at that
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: right tackle spot. And I know Mississippi State fans know
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: a lot about him. Not out of the eleven games
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: he started at left tackle. I know that was because
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: of injuries and some other things. But they feel comfortable
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: with him at that right tackle spot going into the
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: summer camp. And I don't think he's done anything to
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: kind of lose that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: So they were impressed with Javon James at right tackle
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: in the spring.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Right they were, they were, and everybody I've spoke to
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: just an ultimate kind of you know, all about football,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Hey dialed in, you know, not one of these guys
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: that wants to go, you know, party do this type
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: of you know, college kid things that he's just all football,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: all business at that right tackle spot. And Adrian Clem
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sure has been a part of that. I hear
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: good things about him as far as an offensive line coach,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: and maybe they just found the way to connect. But
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: he's really the key. Where'd he come in offensive line?
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I know, y'all couldn't run block. You couldn't block me
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: last year as far as the running game or me,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: where is this? Where's this new offensive line coach from?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Where'd he comeing from?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: So Adrian Clem is a guy that's got a lot
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of experience. If you remember the Oregon team a couple
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: of years ago, I want to say it was like
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, they ran the football physically. That was
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Adrian Clem's offensive line. So Cayler Degore knew him from
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: being out on the West coast, so you spent time
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. He was going through a little bit
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: of a medical issue, but he came from usc so
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: he came from USSE. He was a defensive analyst there
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: last year, but he was the Patriots offensive line coach
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. He was the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: coach multiple years.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: He had an NFL pedigree. So I've only had a
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes here about I'm go.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Two, I'm go two segments Wilio three.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: So and we may do that. Alabama's ranked like forty
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: seventh in recruiting. Is this proof that blue chip players
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: don't want to go to Tuscaloos anymore.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Well, no, and we were doing this yesterday. A number
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: of three stars these SEC schools are signing. It's crazy
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: how many three stars. Like if you just pick up
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: random Tennessee, I think they've got like thirteen or fourteen
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: three stars. Alabama has had a big class when it
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: comes to retention. I think the last two classes, I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: think it's forty seven out of the last forty eight
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: players or here they've lost one guy back of the post, Theodore.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: And what I think this is is Kaylin of Buller
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: saving money because you're going to have to pay some
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: of these younger players, because when you pay them, that
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: just gets them on campus, and then the first year
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: they perform, then you have to add money to that.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I knew that it was going to be a smaller class.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I was told that it might be as few as
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: like twelve or fourteen. I think they may be able
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: to get that up to fifteen or sixteen, but it's
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: going to be a really super small class. Now, they
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: do have the number one quarterback in the country. A
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: lot of behave it out of Dunham Spring or Dunham
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: School out of Baton Rouge. They've also got another quarterback.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: They fulfilled some needs, but they're not going to be
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: a big spender in this class. I think some of
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: that is they're saving it for retention for the upcoming class.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: If this team performs the way that some of these
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: young players are expected to perform, then you're gonna have
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to pay these guys like the quarterback, like quarterbacks Kielan Russell,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I got a minute and a half.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Who's going to You're playing a new quarterback. Who is
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: it going to be? And are you confident that he's
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: not gonna screw it up?
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: All right? There was a man passing academy this weekend.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Our friend Mike Dettilie covered Alabama. Did not send a
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: guy down there. That tells me that it's a true competition.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: They have it, not sent one.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, I got you.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I think it's a true competition. But if
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: you're asking me to bet my money one thousand dollars
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: in Vegas, I put it on Kielan Russell. Okay, but
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not counting Alston back out. He's proving wrong. Three
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: times I thought he would get in the portal, uh twice,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: he didn't do that. He's a fighter. His dad was
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: an army fighter pilot. He's got a fighter mentality and
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: he's got a skill set. He needs to learn how
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: to throw in the run a little bit better and
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: improve that accuracy. If he does, then that he's got
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: a shot at this job. If not, it's Keeling Russell,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: the young man out of Duncanvielle High School. I think
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: he's he's got to get factor that it takes to
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: be a big time quarterback in this Klein of War system.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: All right, okay, roll tip, Hey, but I want to
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: take up for ole Miss real quick, real quick? Okay,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Well I took a shot at him. Yeah, but I
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: did take up for ole Miss when the Lane Kiffin saga.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I think Lane Kiffin's a scumback, and I think he
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: did Ole Miss wrong. And I know you keep saying
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: that that I'm just taking up for ole Miss, but
• 21:26
