• 1:03
  Speaker 2: beautiful slate of college football tomorrow. We do, finally. Cool, finally.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: It's been about a year.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: North Texas and Texas State be in the game of
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: the week before LSU Ole Miss last weekend.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I don't hate the game. Mean green and Bobcats. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: think Texas State's the Bobcats. Does that feel right? That
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: feels very right. Thank you.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, we've got a full slate, early, mid-afternoon, prime time.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: We've got a little bit of everything this week. So
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: looking forward to breaking it all down. We had NFL
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: action last night.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: No, we didn't. No, we hadn't. No, we didn't. Oh, yes,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: we did. That was a rerun. No. I don't think so.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I don't even know rerun live. I don't know either
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: way how you make that feel better if you're a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Packers fan. So we'll talk about that.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately, talk about how good the Falcons looked last
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: night with them obviously being in the NFC South.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So a ton to get to. But how are we doing, sir? Well,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're doing pretty good. We're doing pretty good.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't say great. Okay. But we're doing
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: pretty good. I guess sometimes you'll take pretty good. I mean,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: sometimes you'll take it. It's been... Packers didn't help last night. No.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: That certainly didn't help. And didn't sleep great, you know.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Didn't sleep great. No, I don't know. You should tell
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: me all about it. Well, you know, I know you
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: didn't know, so I'm telling you now. Other than that,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I'm very excited. I'm excited for the weekend. A lot
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of great football to watch. Not a huge deal. Not
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a huge deal at all. Your boy is going to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: be running the chain gang tonight. Wait a minute.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Is that one of those deals where if you're a parent,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: you get nominated, or you, like, kind of got to
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: sign up for at least, like, if you're a middle
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: school parent, you got to do it one varsity game?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yes. You do. You do. And the varsity parents, they
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: kind of do it for the middle school games. Right. So, oh, yeah,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Lacey's going to be working the concessions.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: I was about to say, ours is a concession stand deal.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: But for us, same deal. Like, middle school does high school.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: High school does middle. Like, we have children playing. In
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: middle school, JV, and varsity. So you get out of
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: all volunteer duties?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because if we did, we'd be missing one of
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: our children's games. That's true. So you should just have
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: more kids. Okay. Lacey? Lacey just drove off there. I know. Yeah,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: so I'll be running those chain gangs. Not a big deal.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Might be a lot of first and nines for Dunham.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: First and tens for the other team. You know what
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I mean? Not a big deal. the concession is going
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to be held down by Lacey. So it's either those
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: two things, or I think film is the other one.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: You can film the game. They let you film it?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I think so. That doesn't seem good. It doesn't seem
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: like a good idea. These steady hands? Oh, my gosh.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: That's why I run the chain game, though.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: How about you're like, hey, I'll watch actual film with
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: your team and make them better.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Is that an option? I mean, it's always an option.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Did somebody just scoot past us? Yeah, somebody just scooted
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: past us. They see me rolling. Hey. All right. Felt
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the breeze. I didn't know what that was. It was
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: going quick. Who are they playing? Rematch with Collegiate? I'm
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: not even going to try this year this week. We're
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: not even going to do it. We're not doing this.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Do you know? I did. I read it. It didn't register. Okay.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And I didn't go back to it. PTSD? Yeah. We
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: have Livonia tonight.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Livonia. The fighting Patrick Queens. The fighting speed traps
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: of 190. That's very true. You get to Livonia, it
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: goes 55 to 45. True. It goes from like 65
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to 35. You're like, okay, sorry.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: If you're going 36, you're getting pulled over.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yep. That sounds... Yes, I know. I drove that path
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: a lot back in the day, going back home. And
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to give them credit, not the only speed trap on
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: one night. Crotch Springs. Yep. You're coming down that bridge.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: You're going 56. We got you. We got you. Better
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: luck next time. Great little gas station there, though. I mean,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I know you don't drive that anymore. They redid it. Yeah,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: it would have been there. Okay. Oh, yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Is that what it is? That's what the boudin is.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: By the way, it looks like Dunham is playing St. James.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty salty game. Well, God had to hope so.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty salty game right there. That's T. James.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: That's a big one. Yeah, well, that's why they brought
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: in this guy. To cheat a yard here, cheat a
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: yard there. Even if it's a half a yard, that
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: chain's going to be a little bit shorter for Dunham.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Which one of your former LSU teammates was a star
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: quarterback at St.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: James? Okay, I'm assuming that means he didn't play quarterback
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in college. That's correct. Who are you? Who are you?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know. No idea. Well, he was my teammate.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: He was both of our teammates for a long time.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Longer you than me. Oh. I don't know. I don't know.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Can't get this one. I'll just be guessing a random teammate.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Played DB at LSU. Okay. Ronnie Prude. No, he went
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: to Fair Park in Shreveport. Good guess, though. Actually, for you? Yeah.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Great guess. I think he played quarterback, didn't he? He did.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Ronnie was really good at quarterback. And look at you.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I know. Look at me. One more guess. Shout out
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to Ronnie. Okay. No, I don't. He wore number 13
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: at LSU. Oh, good player. Good player. Corey. Corey Webster.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: All right. Yeah. Didn't know he went to St.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: James.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. OST James. Yeah. And now you know. Okay. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: now you can use that trivia tonight during the chain game.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You go, because you probably got some small talk. Wasn't Corey, like,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: one of the top basketball players in the country, too?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Marcus was. I don't know if Corey was.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I think Corey was, too. You can use that tonight
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: in the chain game. Like, hey, a little trivia here, boys. Yeah,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: what in the Corey Webster's going on around here? You
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: could use that. Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And they'd be like, Corey Webster went to St.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: James.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, you didn't know that? So I'll be
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: on their sideline, I believe, doing the run of the chain,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: so I can talk trash to them. He ain't no Corey.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I know C-Web. You ain't him. Those kids better know
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: who C-Web is. They better. If they don't, that's the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: coach's fault. I'll be disappointed if Corey's not on the sideline.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Typing him up? Yeah. I did see Corey at the...
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I don't remember if it was Clemson or Louisiana Tech.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Same thing. Anywhoos.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Thought I'd give you that little fun fact. And I
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: also knew that There was no chance in hell you'd
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: get that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I was closer than you thought, I feel like.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Ronnie Prude played football about four and a half hours
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: north of St.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: James. So did we get it close? I mean, if
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you look at the size of the world. Yeah. That's
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: actually a good argument. Thank you. All right. You want
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: to talk about it? Yeah. Let's get into it. All right.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Let's rip it off.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: The Atlanta Falcons go on the road to Lambeau.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: 35-14.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: And the Packers kind of scored a trash touchdown at
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the end.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: It was really 35-7. Michael Penix Jr. throws for 256.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Bijan runs for 194. Drake London, 194 receiving yards.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And they go into your trap and take your trap. Look,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I told y'all last night in the group text, I said,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: there ain't no team in the history of football that
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: was beating the Falcons that night. Wow. They were just
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: crazy impressive. Best team I've ever seen in my life.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Had to have been. No, this is, unfortunately, the Green
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Bay Packers are in this weird place right now where
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: they're not good. Yeah. And I don't see a path
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: forward for them. currently. They are in no man's land
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. They are in Chargers land, right? now
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: where they're not necessarily. OK, so they're not good right now. No,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: like for real. They're not good. But like, I guess
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of like jumbling up multiple years together now
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: where they're not like bad. They're not great. It's like
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: they need to be.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: A little worse so you can get a better draft
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: pick or you need to be better so you can compete.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Yep. They can't use Micah Parsons right now. He's not
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: going to be available until mid to end October, something
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: like that. You don't have a first rounder next year
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: because you traded him for Micah Parsons. He's only played
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: a handful of games for you. And if you tried
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: to trade him. He's going to have, like, a $ 50
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: or $ 55 million cap hit. Dead cap space. So, like,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: they're in this weird place that they need a running game.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Jordan Love is good, but, like, he's not that. He's
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: not that good.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Why will he have a place to step up and
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: run and refuse to do it?
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: He's only picked up like one first down with his
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: legs like in two years.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Some crazy stat. We were talking about it yesterday on
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: the afternoon show.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: He's athletic. Yeah.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: He won't do it. I don't know if at some
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: point he took a big shot like.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: In high school or college. I don't know. He won't
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: do it. There's something missing in his game. And I
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: don't know what it is because we've seen him be great. Yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: But not for, like, a sustained period of time.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: The best was the first year he started. Like, the
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: back half of that season was like, oh, my God,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: this guy's, like, Packer fans are so lucky. They're going
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: to have, like, another one come through. He hadn't been
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: that since then. And there's something missing in his game.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: There's something missing with the team. I don't know what
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: it is. Matt Flynn. But, like, I think Packers fans
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and people, like, took for granted maybe a little bit
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: of Aaron Rodgers, especially towards the end. Even though he
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: won back-to-back MVPs towards the end of his career there
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: in Green Bay. Just kind of a little bit of
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: grittiness and a little bit of a-hole-ness that you kind
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: of have to have on a team. In a good way.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: In a positive direction. But a little bit of old
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: school grit. They feel very new school to me. They do.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Who on that team, when Ish gets tough, would you
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: trust in the Foxholes?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, Tucker Kraft comes to mind,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: but like a little bit, a little bit on offensive side.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know anybody and I don't know the names
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: of most people on defense. Yeah.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Like, OK, there's nobody on defense that like this scares you.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: So maybe they're just like maybe their strategies this year
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: is like to go opposite of what they did last
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: year because they started out so good last year. They
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: started out, I was like the greatest team I've ever
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: seen in my life. My God. So maybe they just
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: decided to, let's just do the opposite of that. Let's
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: be terrible at the beginning. Yeah. And we'll get better.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: But I just don't know. They're in no man's land.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately, they're in the north. And they can't get
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: by with being in no man's land.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: No. Because Minnesota looks really good. And that wasn't even
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: the team we were talking about.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: We were talking about Detroit and Chicago.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Um matt lafleur's probably probably not making it he's not
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: making it and uh like try saying that two years
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: ago right or even exactly 12 months.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Ago resume is good but to your point the future
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: looks so cloudy you can't see what he did in
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: the past right you can't and um are the falcons
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: on the other side of it like appendix are good
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, Penance looked good after a little bit. Look,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: the first shot was bad, but he hadn't played football
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: since Jesus was a boy.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: It is wild.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Like, when you don't have a quarterback, and they didn't.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: They had Cooper Rush and Jack Strand, all right? But
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: when you just get somebody that can solidify things, they
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: don't have to be a world beater. They just have
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: to solidify the offense. And that's what he did last night. Now,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: he was better than that. I do want to give him, like,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: he was.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: He wasn't just like a manager. No. He was at
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the beginning. They were trying to get his feet back
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: underneath him, but I mean, hell, he threw for over, what,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: 200 in the second half? He did.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: But even in the first half, it's like, man, when
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: you don't have a guy and you finally get somebody
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: that's at least functional, that's got some skill, that understands
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: what he's supposed to be doing back there. Like, then
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: it makes B. John Robinson be B. John Robinson and
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Drake London be Drake London. Now, Kyle Pitts, you couldn't
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: find him with a search warrant still, but the other guys,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: they got involved.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Man, B. John is one of the smoother athletes that
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: we've ever seen play the game. Like, he really is.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: And that's saying, because there's obviously been a lot of
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: great athletes. But, man, he's smooth, and he's so smooth,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: you miss– Like, I feel like defenders don't time up
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: his speed very well because he's so smooth, you don't
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: realize how fast he's actually going. And you saw, like,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: on the big run he had earlier in the game,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: they just took terrible angles at him. I used to
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: see this with– I'm not comparing, okay, this different position, different, like, athleticism. But, like,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Jordy Nelson was the same way. He was so smooth
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: that people would miss– like, they would not take the
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: right angle every time. I feel like that's– it's like
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: that with Bijan. And then he does. The way he
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: can turn. And I'm not just talking about cut. I'm
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: not talking about cutting. A lot of us can cut.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: A lot of us can put our foot in the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: ground and go cut. Yeah.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: The way that he turns his whole momentum on a dime,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I've never seen. I'm sure there's somebody that can be like, well,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: this running back in the 70s or the 80s. I've
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: never seen somebody be able to be full speed and
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: then all of a sudden just contort their body to
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: go to a completely different gap and then not really ever.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Stop, though. Yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Like, he never stops. He's full speed and just twisting
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: and turning.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: At full speed or full torque, and it's like, oh, man.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: And I tell you what, I felt a lot better
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: about the Saints-Falcons game that's coming up in primetime before
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: last night.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I did. Because you load the box, and Drake London
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: was really good last night. He was really good, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: he kind of showed you. Oh, yeah, that's why he
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: gets $ 36 million per year.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: You think he was excited not to have Cooper Rush?
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Look, shout out to Cooper Rush. He held it down
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: in Dallas for a while. Three games. It was longer. No,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: it was long. It was like three years. But yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: tough scene. Lambeau is such a magical place. It's an
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: awesome place, especially night games there. And it is unfortunate.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I feel bad for the Packer fans. And I'm. preaching
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: to the choir I'm talking to Saints fans right now
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: so like I get it nobody feels sorry for anybody
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: but I do just because of no man's land and
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: everybody here listening probably understands how that feels and I
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: hope they figure out a way.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: We will find out if the Falcons if that was
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: real or if it was fool's gold you go at
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: New Orleans Baltimore at home Chicago at home San Francisco
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: at home one of the tasks to be overseas there's
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: no way they got three straight games in the ATL right.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: How rare do you get three straight games at home
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: in the NFL? Sounds unlikely. One, two, no. Looks like
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: that one's in Mercedes as well.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Looks like, yep, they're getting three straight games at home.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Wow. They do play overseas, but it's not until the
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: week after. Which game is that? Bengals. Looks like 8.30 a.m. Ooh,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: nothing like a little 8.30 a.m. football. Can't wait to
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: wake up for that one. So, again, Falcons all over
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: the Packers. Going to change. All over. Relax, man. Relax.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Just say they lost. I mean, it was 35-7.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: They gave them a token touchdown at the end. They
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: were leading 7-0, though.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: They were. They were strong.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Changes kind of the outlook of what the Falcons can be.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: So certainly we'll talk about that because, well, that's going
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: to be after this week in the Saints' next opponent.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: All right, we will step away.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: We've got more OTB coming right back your way. Stay

• 20:35
  Speaker 2: What's better than a centerpiece like that? That's right. We're
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: trying to look for ways. We call that a focal
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: point in the room. This is definitely. It really ties
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: the whole room together. We're looking for ways, you know,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: to save some bucks here and there. And this baby.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: That's going to be it. Our baby right here. She's free.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: That's true. Didn't cost you a thing. Didn't cost me
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: a darn thing. And guess what? I hate to break
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: it to Katie, but you got one as well. There's
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: one right over there. She's right over there. Maybe he
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: should book in the table after this break. You know,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: it's funny. In my office, studio, whatever you want to
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: call it, the voice of.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: The Tigers, Chris Blair, he had this Elvis Presley bust
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: that he was gifted. And his wife pretty much said, hey,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: we need you to get that out of the house.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: And so he gifted that to me.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Okay. And I know the perfect place for the most
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: interesting man. Oh, yeah. Right next to the Elvis Presley
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: bus in my office. I love that. This is definitely
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: going behind my desk where I do all my Zoom
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: calls for work. It's going to be perfect. You are
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: going to be Zooming and be like, hey, Matt, what
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: is that behind you there? What is that? So drink
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Dos Equis and then drink my high. We've got some
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Friday night football that's not in the high school world. Oh,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: do we? Let me guess. Miami? I think they are, actually.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: How does Miami get all these Friday games? I mean,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: I know we talked about it yesterday, but I don't
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: think we ever actually.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: We never came to the decision.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: No, we never actually figured out why and who and
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: what and when and where and any of that. It's
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: not just Miami, though. We have a bunch of games, actually.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Indiana. Indiana. Clemson and California. That'd be Cal Berkeley.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Okay. Heated ACC rivalry game out there in Northern California.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I always forget that. I always forget that. Yep. That
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: takes me a second every time.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I actually think Miami's playing on a Saturday for
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: the first time in a while. But tonight, I actually
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: think you have some that are like today, like during
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: the day. Army and Temple. Is it 3 p.m.? Then
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: you've got Howard and Rutgers. You've got Navy and UAB.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: You've got Northwestern and Indiana. You've got Clemson and Cal.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: That's going to be all tonight.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Why would you play at 3 p.m. on a Friday?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's Army and Temple, so I don't know.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Philadelphia's obviously got a lot of history.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's something to do with them
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: playing Army. I'm not sure, but that's what time the
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: game says it is.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Okay. Can you imagine going to Clemson? I don't know.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Three years ago, like you're a big five-star recruit, and
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: you've had the two seasons that you've had kind of
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: back-to-back here, and then also they tell you, hey, we're
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: going to get on a plane and go play a
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: conference game in.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: A five-hour flight. Oh, God. Not a five-hour drive, a
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: five-hour flight. Yeah. Whoever ran the Pac-12 needs to be
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: in prison for what they've done, for the Big Ten
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: and the ACC, for everybody over there. It's pretty embarrassing. Wait,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: what's the Big Ten matchup, Oregon-USC this week? Yep. Is
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: that correct? It is. Ooh, classic. It's that gritty northern football.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Clemson's only a one-and-a-half point favorite. Cal's not that good.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: They got a good quarterback, but no. I mean, a two-and-one,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: but they're not that good. What if Clemson... Okay, stay
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: with me.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: What if Clemson goes and loses to Cal... And then,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: you know who the next game is? Miami.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: What if they lose to Cal? I think Tay-Tay was
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: talking about this during the break earlier this week. And
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: then they go and they get housed by Miami.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Is it loud for Dabo? Yeah, I mean, I think
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: it's got to be.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: It's a small town. He's done so much. He's brought
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: them to heights they've never been before. So I don't
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: pretend to know. what the temperature for him there would
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: be like. I know what it would be for him
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: if he was, like, here. We've seen that. Guys that
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: have won national championships, they've had a bad season. Then
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: they start to have a second bad season. They say,
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: holler at your boy. If he loses to Cal and
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: he's 2-2 and then he gets beat up by Miami
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: and he's 2-3, I don't pretend to know if they
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: can– pay his buyout I don't know the money.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: That Clemson has yeah no no it's I don't think
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: he makes it out of this year without mutually parting
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: ways I don't think he gets fired but I think
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: they part ways you think out of respect for what
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: he's done oh 100 and I as much as I
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: like to make fun of him that he deserves.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: That oh okay well there's I agree I agree with
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: you but there's a lot of coaches they got fired
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: here in the middle of a season and they didn't
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: care to have a hey You've done so much.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Let us let you finish the season. Yeah, I guess
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: that's true. Are you talking about Les? Les and Coach O.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Coach O wasn't the coach for that long of a time.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Now he did coach the greatest college football team to
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: ever play the game. Yeah, true.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: I'm saying he won a Fiesta Bowl, then won a
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: national championship, but for Les, he won one, played in
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: a lot of New Year's Six Bowl games, played in
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: another national championship, and The game he got fired on,
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: if you snap the ball a second earlier, you win.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. I still think Ma Reed's
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: right on that one. Yeah. As far as the mutually
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: parting ways, they probably don't do it midseason unless, I guess,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: tragedy hits. But, like, I think he might have bought
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: himself to the end of the year with, I mean,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: as weird as it sounds, with beating Belichick. even as
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: like sloppy and as bad as it seemed. Um, he
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: probably did, but this is, I think this is definitely
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the end for him, which I don't see them. They're
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: not good enough to turn it around in a big way. No,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: they're not good enough to, even if they do beat Cal,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: they're not good enough to like, you have to do
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: something special. You'd have to go beat Miami. You'd have
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: to beat Miami. You'd have to do, you'd have to
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: do something, make the ACC championship. I don't know. I
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: don't know what their schedule lines up. Like, I don't
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: know if you can beat Louisville or I don't know
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: if they play. Um, But you'd have to do something special,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I think, at this point. I think he's just shown
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: too much resistance to change and evolve. That's another portion
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: of it, too. If they want to keep following into
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: a deeper hole of irrelevancy, then they've got to make
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: a change. The noise has to be loud because once
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: you get a taste of being at the top, the
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: people around the university, they expect it.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Real quick before we take a break, which program– It's
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: more dead. Clemson or Florida State?
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: It'll be Clemson if they don't do something at the top.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like at least.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, both of them just feel like they're in
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: this purgatory of, like for Clemson, it's not wanting to change.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: It's stuck in their ways. We're going to do it
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: our way, and our way is going to work. We'll
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: figure it out, and they haven't. And then for Florida State,
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: they've tried to do things according to their budget. They
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: just don't have the dollar bills to do so. I mean,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Mike Norvell at any other, you know, air quote, major school,
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: he was fired 18 months ago.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: They don't have the money. Right.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Which is crazy because when you and I were growing up,
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: they were top five every year. When you and I
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: were in elementary and middle school, there wasn't a year
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: where they weren't top five. No, I don't know if
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: he's a good coach or not. I'm saying anywhere else
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: he would have been fired 18 months ago of a
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: team that has the pride of a Florida state.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: They just can't fire him because they can't pay him.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: They can't pay him. And if they do, what's it
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: do to the rest of the program? Rich Florida state people? No. No.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: There's got to be somebody out there. No, there's not.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I think– Okay.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: You know how I know who, like, and, Doc, I
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: apologize if you're listening to this.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I know you play for Florida State. You know how
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I know, like, who their big alumni is?
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Because I've listened to Danny Cannell, when we've done shows together,
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: talk about the owner of Spanx being a Florida State alum.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. But they don't give. I think
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: she was on Shark Tank. They don't give money. She
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: was a shark. Okay. Well, she's not giving money to
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Florida State. She's too much of a businesswoman. She's smart.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: She's like, oh, there's no ROI. There's actually no return
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: on investment when you give money to college teams. Yeah.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Got it. Well, that's not good. So I'll say them then. Okay. Yeah.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: If you don't have money, great. I think Clemson, if
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: you do have the money, you're eventually going to see
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: a product that you just can't overlook because of the past. Sorry, Davo.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: You're a dork. All right. And you know what? You
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: might be fired. Still hope you fall down the hill.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Maybe it comes when he comes back to celebrate one
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: of the championship teams.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: That would be fun. You know? That would be fun.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Then your bet would hit. At some point, he's going
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: to fall down that hill. All right. We'll take a break.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: More OTB when we come back here live from Rouse's.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Off the bench. All right, go to RussellPools.com.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Russell Pool Company, been in South Louisiana since the 1960s.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: And we tell you that every day because, well, you know,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: the weather here, it can be harsh.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: It can be hot. It can be humid. We can
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: have storms. We have a lot of rain.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: And if you don't have somebody that understands that, they're

• 32:20
  Speaker 2: hear it. My goodness.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was playing, but I wasn't listening. I
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: do know they were playing some Matchbox 20 up in
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: here earlier.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: They sure were. I do know that. It was jamming.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: And I told Cassie she was negative eight when that
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: album came out.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Because that was factual. Negative eight. Respect knowing, like, the
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: date that that year came out and then Cassie's birth date.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I don't. So, Cassie, I don't remember.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: Somebody was saying, I think somebody was saying how young
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: she was, and they gave her birth year, like, Monday.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: That's how I know. Ah. Yeah. And then I know
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: the song came out.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Because, like, on SiriusXM, like, when they play a song,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: it has the year by it.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Fair enough. That's how I know. Oh, okay. All right.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? So, let's put two and
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: two together. Simple math. I didn't want you to know this,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: but I'll tell you. I don't subscribe to Sirius. That's
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: on me.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Do you think that I thought that you would support
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: anything that I do?
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Like when I buy my high? When I wear a
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: my high hat around town? I think I bought you
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: my high last week.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: When I wear a my high hat every flag football
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: game that I coach?
• 33:29

• 33:33
  Speaker 2: so you to turn it like that. We got two
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: most interesting mans in the world. Yeah, me and you.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Not a big deal. Not a big deal. Not a
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: big deal. These are quality. These must be American made.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Why would that matter? Quality. Okay. This is the greatest
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: country ever. That's also fair. That is fair. Are we
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: going to find out anything....
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: About indiana tonight they play as well i know we
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: spent time on clemson and cal they played northwestern yeah
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: like for somebody that and look they won the national
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: championship i get it they're great i covered that team
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: they had a lot of really good players great personalities
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: worked hard but they sure do talk a lot for
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: somebody that's played north texas howard and western kentucky.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was a little disappointed. Do you want to
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: know what their big non-conference game is? That's going to
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: make me mad, isn't it? No, because it's already all
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: played out. Okay. Are you serious? That's it. North Texas?
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: North Texas, Howard, and Western Kentucky. The rest of the
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: games are conference games.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: They should be kicked out of the top ten.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: It is, like, it is, like, that's going back to
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: the AP poll conversation that, you know, in Indiana.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Again, national chance. It doesn't fit. It doesn't fit Cignetti's, like, his. Anybody, anytime, anywhere.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: What he tries to push to people. He's pushing this
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: tough attitude, all this stuff. But, like, bud, Cignetti, your
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: actions speak so loud, I can't hear what you're saying. Sorry, dude. Like,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: you're trying to create this. build this, paint this picture
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: of yourself right now. And I get it. I mean,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I guess I don't know when these things, these games
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: could have been scheduled five years ago. I have no idea.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: But the narrative that's playing out right now is that
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: you are wanting to be Notre Dame.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: What would LSU's, now it gets tough, it gets a
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: little tougher, but what would LSU's record be if it
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: was North Texas, Howard, Western Kentucky, Northwestern, Rutgers, Nebraska?
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: What would it be in the, it's still, I'd be
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: around what they are, around five in the country. Yeah.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Now, for them, it does go Ohio State, Michigan, Minnesota, USC,
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Washington to wrap it up.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Then they got Purdue. Poor Purdue. Good God. Bad, bad.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: And that's why, like, the college football playoff, like, I
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: think that came out yesterday, like finally going to look
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: at a metric for strength of conference.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Like, you have to do those things. We were looking
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: at– who was it? Was it Miami that we were
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: looking at?
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: They got one more ranked game as far as teams
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: that are ranked right now.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: LSU has five. And I think Miami's really good.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: And I think Miami could hold their own to say
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: the least in the SEC.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: But I also think they'd be 10-2. I saw the
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: metric come out. I don't really 100% understand how it's
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: going to be utilized. Is it going to be like
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: a tiebreaker situation? Is that going to be part of it?
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: It's going to be another– data point and how they
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: come up with the teams and how they kind of
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: weigh the team because they're going to weigh the conference,
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: which they should be already doing.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they should be. Again, it's not Miami's fault that
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: their teams get bad, right? So if it is a
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: toss-up situation. And Miami will at least play the big boys.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: They will. I'll give them credit.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: They will play They'll play a Texas A & M
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: in the non-con.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: So it's not slight at Miami. Apparently Indiana won't, though.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: But this year, like, their non-conference was Florida A & M,
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Central Michigan.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: And Notre Dame. And Notre Dame's ACC adjacent.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Remember, they play, like, half of an ACC schedule.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Don't give them that credit. Well, they do, but. Don't.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: And Notre Dame's the only team that's ranked on their schedule.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Virginia Tech might be maybe at some point. They're coming. Who?
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Virginia Tech. The Hokies? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, man.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: It is disappointing to me because, again, Cignetti and Indiana,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: they built up so much equity. Yeah. Just from like
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: a respect standpoint from everybody else. Like, my God, look
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: at what they did. No five stars. Their coach called
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: out Ohio State when he got first. And like we
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: all laughed at it, but he backed it up. Yeah.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: And he is tough, man. Greatest coach in college football,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: which he still has earned that right to be called. Yeah. However,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: he built all this equity up and you're just like
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: to me. And it's one that didn't, like, look at
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: the schedule for Indiana real hard before the year. But
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: I hear about these games over and over, and I'm like, wow.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like tearing that equity down a little
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: bit brick by brick. All right.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: Again, that's Friday night action. So you've got Clemson and Cal.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: You've got Northwestern and Indiana.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Playing.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: If you're into Army and Temple at 3 o'clock, they
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: got that as well.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: If you're looking for something to bet on.

  Speaker 2: wanted to go to Tennessee originally in high school because
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: I liked Rocky Top. Like the song. Really? Yep. And
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: you heard it and you still like it. I told
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: you the first time I fell in love with the SEC,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I was on a recruiting trip for my buddy. Yeah.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Who was getting recruited to Alabama over to Tuscaloosa. And
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: it was Alabama versus Tennessee. And it was Casey Clawson
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: throwing to Jason Witten. And they beat Alabama in Alabama.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: And this was like 2000 or 2001 maybe. Yeah. And
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Jason Whitten scored a touchdown. He was wearing number one.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: And I was like, what's this? I remember my recruiting visit.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: I went with me and John David Booty went to
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Tennessee hosting Miami that same year, our junior year.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Nice. And it was a kid that grew up going
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: to old Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco, Texas. Those were
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: the games that I went to. Are you trying to
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: say it was a little bit more of an atmosphere?
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I went to Bryant. And I was like, my eyes
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: were wide. I was looking around like, what the heck
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: is this? And then Tennessee was winning, and they were
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: playing this magical song the whole time. And I was like,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: what is this song? And they're like, it's Rocky Top.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what does that mean? Well, you know, the
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: mountains and blah, blah, blah. I was like, well, I
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: want to go there. Do they have a chance to
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: beat the burnt orange?
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they got a chance. You think so? Texas is
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: going to lose some. They're not the greatest team to
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: ever be created. They should have. You know, I should have,
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: could have, would have. Ohio State beat them for the
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: most of that game. We play 60 minutes fleeing. They do.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: That's why they got the old clock on the scoreboard, right? Yep.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: I was cheering pretty hard against them. Against Texas? Yeah.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Something about Sarkeesian, I don't like him very much. Is
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: there anything he can do about it? No. It's just
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: his face, really. I think he's an a-hole. All right.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Fair enough. I don't know him, so he might be
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: a great guy. He's always been great to me. On
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: the group text, the SC group text, I probably feel
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: like he's the troll. He's the a-hole. He tried to
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: recruit me to USC, and Coach O said no. Okay. Yeah.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: I told you that story. Dang, Coach O. I forgot it. Yeah.
