Speaker 4: Time ever doing ANNO show.
Speaker 3: Now we've had a cover for Jake a couple of times,
which is understandable because this is like three hours, five
hours a week or five days a week, so like,
you know, things happen. Then when you got kids involved, man,
you got to take care of business, got to take
care of the family front. So we'll see Jake in

We got Nick underheel at nine am. We got OTB

got I think we might do some we kind of
forgot today. We got got lost in the weeds. It happens.
We're you know, diagnosed squirrel series here on OTB. So
we got weekend winners, a little late week in winters
at some point today during the show, and oh man,
we also got to discuss some kind of some tricky
stuff happening over at LSU. They just can't seem to
get that whole situation correct. But we'll jump into that
next segment. I know, one thing after the other.
Speaker 4: Just let him.
Speaker 3: Let him go play football, right, we'll give some details
about that probably coming up next segment. For right now,
you know, I got to break down a little Monday
night football. I went to bed a little sad last night.
But before we do that, let's be sure we get
this shows dotted.
Speaker 1: It's time to get glowing courtesy of Go Flow Ivy

Get hydrated, Get vitami is right there. And look, you know,
Jake's dealing with it. Everybody's dealing with it in some

go flow iv gofo IV dot com.
Speaker 4: All right, how bad do my Packers stink?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Last night? Pretty bad?
Speaker 3: I mean, we were treated to so many good primetime
games all year long in the NFL. Two stinkers in
a row, Sunday night football, Monday night football. So Sunday
Night Chargers lose or Chargers beat the Steelers in last
night ten to seven in lambeau Field, and like in
an atmosphere that was ready to explode, like lambeau at night,
especially when it starts getting cold, is one of the
It is one of the most magical places in sports.
And so for them to go out there and lay
it absolute singer. Their defense played great, I mean, it
looked like both teams were pretty much playing like they
didn't want to lose. But my god, we can't figure
out who Matt Lafleour is as a head coach. You
can't figure out who Jordan love is as a quarterback.
I can't blame it all on Jordan Lovey looks so
good sometimes and then sometimes they're just their offense goes
a Nemick. I think they started out the game running
like six or seven run plays in a row. They
may have thrown a screenplay with Josh Jacob had his
hands on the balls like six or seven plays in
the road to start the game. The end of the game,
they're driving to win it and it's a fourth and one,
and it looked like LSU's offense. They run an inside zone,
the most basic play in the whole Philadelphia Eagles team
is screaming inside zone this way, inside zone this way,
and it just wasn't pretty and h you can't play
like that. Especially it's frustrated for Packers fans because they're
so good. They've done everything the gout and kiss. The
GM has done everything they can to bring in good talent.
They made the trade for Micah Parsons, which nobody could do.
They have like five stud receivers, a lot of them injured,
so they played with a little injury yesterday. But my god,
you look, you had to watch a bad game on offense.
Then you had to watch push pushes all over the field,
false starts, they can't get it right, it's a it's
a unrefereable play, and I don't know, just frustrated to
watch for football fans like you, everybody wants to watch.
Speaker 4: That's the primetime game. And uh, you know a.
Speaker 3: Lot of people paying a little extra money this week
too for ESPN for that y'all get a chance to watch.
Speaker 7: So I was was kind of eye hustled it into
the LSU studio last night because I was doing the game,
got home and it was fourth quarter, and I was like,
you know what, I'm not I'm not turning this one
because like you forgot the Thursday night game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was also ten to seven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, also sucked.
Speaker 7: So that's three primetime games and I wasn't gonna do
it to myself again. But Matt, I'm with you now
on the tush push. I know you and I have
argued back and forth on that. I don't care about
like not being able to stop it. My thing's always been, well,
don't get them in fourth and one you want to
have to worry about it. They false start every single
time now and it's getting worse. There was a game
a few weeks back they had fall started three different
times on it. It wasn't called you and I were
watching it in studio before the show started. Both guards like,
make contact with the D lineman before the ball snap.
Speaker 2: That's not cold, like I'm It wasn't even.
Speaker 3: Like bang bang either. It was like that was the
most agreat like that. They fall started every single week
and you're gonna get some point. So the reason why
I was like I've been fighting it for a long
time was like last year, we're watching it and people like, well,
it's a football play, you know, Jalen hurts, he squat
six hundred, he's the best. Yeah, he's gonna be the
best quarterback to do it. They're the most well coached
team of doing it. It just I don't want I
don't want that to be the product that I watch
more and more and more, and I feel like they're
like almost just rubbing salt in our eye right now
because every time it's third and two they're running it,
Like why wouldn't they run start the touchbush? Running it
like when it's third and four because they're gonna get
two yards every time, and they just run on third
and fourth down.
Speaker 4: It's just I think that, you know, there's so much
talk about it.
Speaker 3: I feel like their coach here, I feel like he
is almost like, hah, I'm just gonna do it as
much as possible now, like screw y'all. I'm doing it
as much as I can. And it's just it's frustrating
to watch. But I get it.
Speaker 4: It wasn't voted out, so I'm you know, yelling at
the line right now. I get it. That's fine, but
it's a bad product to watch.
Speaker 3: And that whole game was like, Okay, Packers, don't make
it a bad probably go beat him. He had every
chance in the have every opportunity in the world. Your
defense played great, Eagles didn't want to win it.
Speaker 7: But where do you rank Jordan Love right now? Among
like the top QB.
Speaker 2: He's like, where would he fall for you?
Speaker 7: Because I mean, in my opinion, there were weeks where
Jordan Love looks top ten. There are weeks where Jordan
Love looks bottom ten. Yeah, he got no idea where
to put this guy?
Speaker 4: I know?
Speaker 3: He uh, I mean two was it two years ago
at the end of the season, is when his first
year started.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was. He was playing.
Speaker 3: There was no quarterback in the league playing better than him.
That's what got the big contract. And then he has
he has like flashes of that he's not he He's
only been in my top ten list one time, and
that was after I got tweeted out by a lot
of Packers fans to like, hey, well, they were throwing
me all these spandom stats, and I was like, all right, yeah,
it sounds pretty Goodles's comb in there. But I really
kind of think I can't sit here and say that
the problem lies with Jordan Love. Like there's a lot
of issues they back with Lafloor and his play calling
and the game plan. I think he's too conservative, Like
he wants to establish the run game so much. I
think Packers fans are begging them just to cut your
fifty million dollar quarterback loose a little bit. Let him
go play. He looks great in hurry up situations. He
looks great when he has to draw back. I guess
some protection issues like here and there, but it's uh,
sometimes the game plan is great, and you're right, it's
frustrating watching It's frustrating for Packers fans because they literally
legit have five really good young receivers and they're I
think they're still, if not the youngest, one of the
youngest teams. They are still the youngest. They're still the
youngest team for like three years. But it's frustrating. I'm
sure it's frustrated for like Michael Parsons, who's gone over there.
I know he's got a lot of money he can
go cry into or whatever.
Speaker 2: But yeah, he'll be He'll be fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna be fine. But oh, someone of the
chats saying Tyler shuck better than Jordan Love after the
one game this weekend this weekend, absolutely.
Speaker 5: Is Tyler going to make your power rankings?
Speaker 3: He I mean, you playing like that, you might get
an honorable mention on the bubble.
Speaker 4: Guy.
Speaker 3: Don't let him on the bubble. Don't don't let him
get on there. Don't let him get hot. Two good
games in a row for the Saints.
Speaker 4: Well, let the.
Speaker 5: Saints beat the Falcons this week.
Speaker 2: The Saints could be the voter.
Speaker 5: The Falcons are pretty ass.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I feel like Raheem Morris does not
really know.
Speaker 2: What Morris the worst worst head coach in the NFL?
Speaker 4: Do you think so? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Did you see the video like that after they lost?
Speaker 6: Nobody cared like Raheem Morris was like smiling on the field.
Speaker 4: No, really, I didn't see that.
Speaker 7: Now the day Bull's gone, which shout out Brian Daboll
that McDaniel I don't think is a good head coach.
But McDaniel's still a good play call. I mean you
saw it in Buffalo. There's games where he could make
things happen. The Falcons don't even have a good defense,
and that's supposed to be Rheem Morris's specialty.
Speaker 2: Like what is Raheem Morris good at?
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you could say he was a great defensive
coordinator under Sean McVeigh. Yeah, but that defense had so
much talent, ye, man, I don't I don't know what
he's good at.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And obviously they draft Michael Pinnock's last year in the
first round, so you knew the writing writing's on the
wall there, that's that's their quarterback they're choosing. So if
he doesn't work out, a GM gets gets the blame.
And like he's kind of like Jordan Love right now,
the guy looks incredible some and then all of a sudden,
it's like his mechanics just go to complete pooh and
he's thrown it in the dirt everywhere. Yeah, I don't
know who Michael Pennix is right now as a NFL
quarterback because at some points, like earlier in the year,
I was watching some games and I was like, this
guy is going to be a problem, Like he's going
to be an absolute problem for the NFC South.
Speaker 4: But he hadn't really panned out that way.
Speaker 3: There's some games I watch him like this guy's awful,
and then there's some games where he's great.
Speaker 4: So I don't know. Saints do have a like.
Speaker 3: Real opportunity to put two in a row this week,
And we'll be talking to Nick Underhill a little bit
later in the show get his thoughts.
Speaker 4: I want to get him a video.
Speaker 3: I'm tired of I see all these posts he makes,
He's doing all these live streams and videos everywhere, and
we never get to see his pretty face.
Speaker 4: It's pissing me off.
Speaker 5: I'll text him m h.
Speaker 3: Before we get a break, I'm going to do bring
up one more NFL topic and I'm gonna stay in
the NFC North. Now, Taylor, I know you heard about this,
but the Detroit Lions, who we think is one of
the best NF teams in the NFL, especially at least
in the NFC, have been rolling this year, right, roling
really good. They lost that first embarrassing game of the Packers,
like first game of the season, but they've been great
on offense. Jared Goff is one of the tops in
the league and a lot of different stats. He's number
one in completion percentage at seventy two. I'm sorry going
into this past week seventy two percent completion. He's third
in the league in touchdowns with seventeen going into this
past the past week, only three picks, and he's number
two overall going into this past week and passer rating.
But guess what, it's not good enough for their head
coach Dan Campbell. He decided this past week without telling
anybody in the media, nobody knowing, he took over the
play calling for their offensive coordinator, their first year offensive coordator,
John Morton, and Dan camp was like, nah, I used
to play lineman or what he played?
Speaker 4: Is he offense?
Speaker 3: He's a tight enday tight end, So yeah, I used
to play tight end.
Speaker 5: Oh, Dennis Allen was a safety.
Speaker 3: Yeah, our five and three team going into this week,
our quarterback that's leading a lot of passing categories the NFL,
I'm gonna call the plays, and by god, he called
the plays pretty darned well. They beat the Commanders forty
four to twenty two, five hundred and forty six toty yards,
forty four total points. Let's see that was I think
passing yards was three hundred and twenty and two hundred
and twenty six rushing yards, So pretty pretty ballast attack
from a guy that doesn't call plays. A head coach,
i'd say, hey, man, you're doing a great job this year.
I guess I almost gonna take over your job this week.
And he just kind of dropped it in the media,
just like a little oh yeah, I took over the
play on Not a big deal.
Speaker 4: I know it makes.
Speaker 7: Sense though, Like he's a he likes physical football. So
I know this because I've had to follow Jamiir Gibbs
pretty closely this year. Jamir, I mean, they only ran
it twenty times last week, and you could say negative
game script, no, no, no, no no. They lost the Minnesota
by three points. Jamiir Gibbs twenty five yards rushing a
week ago, Montgomery forty flip it. This week they ran
thirty two times, Gibbs for one, David Montgomery for seventy one.
Both averaged over four and a half Gibbs average almost
ten of Currey. Yeah, like that's a Dan Campbell football.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is. That helped it. It doesn't hurt that
the commander's stink at defense.
Speaker 7: Either, stink pretty much everything.
Speaker 4: Anyway, it's a while.
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever in college football, NFL, damn it,
And like in high school football has then? Has this
ever happened on a winning team just to say, hey,
we're just gonna do something different this week. Yeah, anyway,
it kind of hit me like a ton of breaks.
I was like, I cannot more. I started thinking about, yes,
this is really strange, but it worked out. Dan Campbell,
you're the man. Go buy some knee caps. All right, we're.
Speaker 4: Gonna go to break. Can we come back?
Speaker 3: We are going to talk about the mess that is
being put together right now over at LSU.
Speaker 4: Brian Kelly, was he under contract? I don't know. We'll
find out. We'll talk to you about that coming around
from the break right here on.
Speaker 2: Off the bench, Off the bench, all right.
Speaker 3: I want to tell you about Boudro's Electrical. We tell
you every single day about those full home generators. When

Speaker 5: I mean their dad's yeah, an entrepreneur.
Speaker 7: And father legitimately critiquing my radio host, how are you
going to market this? This is this is unmarked You
don't even look good. Spend all this time making this YouTube, Channe,
and this is what I get.
Speaker 4: Wow, wow name, don't worry.
Speaker 7: I'll say it with my high advertisement. So what do you,
I'll say, Brian Kelly? Yeah, do you I want to
keep talking about my kids YouTube's rational rights? Or y'll
want to talk about LSU. Brian Kelly, how about the
YouTube thing?
Speaker 5: See?
Speaker 6: I like the YouTube thing, but I feel like I'm
just so over the Brian Kelly saga, but also like
not to play Devil's advocate but get your money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, okay, so you were breaking So I wanted
to break it down for me kind of like the
behind the scenes stuff because so there's a losing on
a sports on net humpower just release an article Kelly
soon LSU over termination for cause, but like kind of
give me, like the breakdown of everything about kind of
what's happening up to date.
Speaker 6: So Brian Kelly wants the full fifty four million dollars
from his buyout dollars from his buyout, and I, honestly
can I can't blame him for that. That's your contract,
that's what you were told that you were going to
get paid and it's part of your con track. So
his lawyer is now saying that LSU never really fired him,
and that somebody from the school, a representative from the
school reached out on Monday yesterday and said that, you know,
Scott Woodward didn't really have any authority to fire him
or negotiate the contract with him, because they ended up
firing Scott Woodward as well. And now LSU is trying
to fire him for cause, which will prevent paying him
the full buyout.
Speaker 5: So now what is the cause? I'm we're not aware.
Speaker 9: Of that mentioned, which also gets messy, right, Yeah, so
in in Hunt's article here it does kind of say
what the cause is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Kelly's contract includes a four cause clause that
includes reasons for termination for material substantial rule violations or
NCAA rule valuation violations, being convicted of a felony or
any crime involving gambling, drugs, alcohol, or engaging in serious
misconduct with either displays at a continual serious disrespect for
the mission of LSU.
Speaker 4: Or there's like a moral or it constitutes moral there's
like a.
Speaker 5: Moral pitu in there as well, where like.
Speaker 4: So it sounds like an attorney word, but it.
Speaker 6: Also kind of feels like, what are you alleging here?
Right way, he's saying that Brian Kelly did that you
have the authority to fire him for those causes.
Speaker 4: Detrimental is losing games, I guess so, Yeah.
Speaker 7: That's what I always hate about, Like we fired him
for calls. Yeah, the calls was that they didn't win
enough games, but obviously didn't work that way.
Speaker 2: But I saw people I was telling you guys before
the show.
Speaker 7: I saw people over the weekend being like this typical
Brian Kelly messy on his way out. I'm like, if
you can tell me that any of you would walk
away from twenty four million dollars, then you're a.
Speaker 4: Wire, right.
Speaker 3: And I think we've all been critical of Brian Kelly's
tenure here at LSU, the way it all and about
his work ethic, But like the the exit form from
his part was as clean as it gets.
Speaker 4: He is quiet. He didn't talk to anybody.
Speaker 5: He wrote that superior.
Speaker 4: He wants to spare himself a mar No big deal.
Speaker 5: Who doesn't. If I got fired, I'd go get a
mark too.
Speaker 3: But like he was quiet, he left, wrote a nice
exit letter. Whatever tell us you hadn't heard a word.
Now we us included myself include. A lot of dirty
laundry has been aired out, but LSU has basically like
admitted that it wasn't for cause. Because if this is true,
they've offered him settlements of twenty five and thirty million dollars.
If you're gonna find him for calls, you're not paying
him anything. You're not paying him anything. So if that,
if that settlement offer is in writing, it's basically admitting
that we don't want to pay this.
Speaker 4: And here's the deal.
Speaker 3: Why would he take twenty five or thirty million dollars?
Speaker 2: He shouldn't.
Speaker 3: He signed a contract for him out he left a
stable job, I guess. I mean you could probably argue that,
I really know the history. He left a job at
Notre Dame to come here because of the contract. And
so if you don't do this, like if you find
a way.
Speaker 6: To also he's what sixty four, Yes, he's probably done after.
Speaker 3: This, right, I mean he's there's been rumors of the
TV talk and how that could that's some offset terminology
in there that it would offset the pay or whatever.
But like still, if you are gonna go so far
to and again, this is all basically reading reading this
article and like hearing like snippets from different media outlets
like if you're gonna go so far to avoid a
big buyout, to say he was fired for calls and
like try to do whatever to like the way he
conducted himselves and to get out of it, like you
are already You've already made a mess of this coaching
situation from the top right, Like you're making even more
of a mess. Why is the coach gonna be like, Wow,
they're just gonna sue me because.
Speaker 2: What Yeah, they're gonna.
Speaker 5: Sue me right, just because they don't want to pay me.
Speaker 4: They don't want to pay me. Hey, that man is
money and get on money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to see his name in the
breaking news anymore.
Speaker 5: No, this to me, it's like the toxic ex that
hangs around, like just.
Speaker 3: Pay the man his money. You signed a contract and
you fire. Maybe you should have thought all this through.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't.
Speaker 7: We don't know what goes on behind the scenes obviously,
like you know, if something comes out, we'll hear about
it right now. To me, this seems like somebody who
doesn't have an out, who is looking for that out,
like we're trying. We're trying, we're trying to just because
we don't want to pay it. You screwed up. You
gave him the big contract. We all hated the big contract.
We had talked about it. Even when Landry made his comments.
The one thing everybody agreed on was, yeah, the contract
did kind of suck. You got a you own fifty
four million dollars.
Speaker 2: Just paid it. Move on, just move on.
Speaker 3: Uh this one, this one paragraph makes me laugh in
this article again, Louisiana Sports Dot and that talking about
Brian Kelly's contract says contractually, LSU must inform Kelly within
seven days of termination that it would be four cause.
That indication came Monday, fifteen days after Kelly's last game
on the sideline. The documents did not disclose LSU's specific
reasoning for firing four cause.
Speaker 6: No, okay, So when you said, when you said, what
is it aim ready shooter?
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, you didn't you're aim ready.
Speaker 6: That is exactly how LSU is handling all of this,
Like you're.
Speaker 5: Supposed to let him know in seven days.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna let you know in fifteen because I didn't
have all my stuff in.
Speaker 3: Order before then, you're also going to let me know
that it's four calls, but not say what the.
Speaker 2: Cause we're fired you for calls? We have something?
Speaker 4: What is it? Dude?
Speaker 2: Trust me, bro, trust me.
Speaker 4: We got this all right.
Speaker 5: Well, it's done in the dark, will come to light.
Don't worry.
Speaker 4: And what did you say?
Speaker 3: You said before the show that like something about Woodward
like he he didn't even have the they're trying to
say he didn't have the path.
Speaker 6: Authority to fire fire Yeah, or or negotiate a stretch
or negotiate the contract.
Speaker 3: Typical attorney stuff. You're just gonna throw as much as
you can at the wall.
Speaker 7: He wasn't the a d much longer after that, but
he was still the ad when you got fired.
Speaker 4: But he wasn't the governor though he wasn't.
Speaker 6: It's very true he asked the governor if he could
fire him.
Speaker 4: No, No, that's.
Speaker 5: The ring first.
Speaker 3: We lost your jaw right there. All right, let's go
to break. Let's uh, we're going to break here on
off the bench. We'll come back. We gotta we gotta

was the worst day of the entire week, probably a
month ago. Now it's the best day.
Speaker 5: This song is a banger.
Speaker 4: Eighties arguably has the most bangers.
Speaker 5: I think so too. Different genres, yeah, different genres.
Speaker 3: I didn't say that to create an argument. Don't get mad,
don't get but hurt, just a statement kind of people
in the UH chat here talking about, like just a
brief on what we were just talking about with Brian
Kelly situation. It's like, I want to reiterate that there's
no there's a lot of articles, there's clickbait out there,
there's a lot of people, just like Taylor said, why
just Brian Kelly just needs to go away. Look, Brian
Kelly is he should have been fired and like all
the dirty laundry has been aired at but he went
away and l'sh's the one that keeps bringing him back up.
Maybe they thought that they could have all this litigation
and there's probably always there's always negotiations when it comes
to buyouts and all this stuff and the way things
are excited. But like, it's not Brian Kelly writing these articles.
He doesn't want to be out there. He just wants
the money that they told him they were going to
pay him. So pay the man his money. Stop writing articles,
and let's focus on the football team. Let's focus us
on Verge. Let's focus on the next head coach. How
about that?
Speaker 5: Shoutout Verge, shout out what a great guy.
Speaker 4: I hope he crushes it. I do.
Speaker 5: And he's been with the program forever.
Speaker 3: Been with the program forever. Thank god he was there
after the mess that was created, the tangled web of
politics and this and that he said, she said all
that stuff, because honestly, like what kind of market would
you have had for an AD after that whole situation
right where basically we were forced to fire in a ad.
Thank god we had Verge here to step in here
to be ready. So Virgin is the ad today.
Speaker 5: They backtrack the backtrack.
Speaker 4: I know what a roller coaster?
Speaker 6: Okay, backtrack the backtrack and Verge is official. There's a
picture if you look on l s U LSU's page,
there's a picture of way Ruth, the new president, and
Verge together on the field that stage announcing. No, not
at all. They were just going for a casual candid.
Speaker 7: It was like I saw the picture and I saw
that it was announced he was a d but like
I also saw that before.
Speaker 2: I was just making sure, like that was the official officials.
Speaker 5: That's the official officials.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, all right, well hey hell the first one
was staged.
Speaker 4: Second one candid.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were casually.
Speaker 4: What they were casually button up in their suits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, first one wasn't really this one the.
Speaker 4: First one, this one's real.
Speaker 3: This one Tuesday, November eleventh, the year of Our Lord,
twenty twenty five for Josberry ad.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, Quinn, breaking news to break it today.
Speaker 4: First to break that today, Hay Veterans.
Speaker 5: Day, Happy Veterans Day, Jake. And this is on me
and Jake. We didn't say.
Speaker 6: Happy Birthday to the Marines yesterday. That's on us for
children of Marines. Sure, so happy birthday to the Marine
Corps of course yesterday. Also Happy birthday in my mom.
Speaker 4: Happy birth to your mom.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, it's actually pretty seem to remember the marine birthday
since the day before veterans. Interesting, when are the other branches?
Speaker 2: Are they?
Speaker 5: I don't know responsible for knowing the Marine Corps one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, big shout out, big Happy birthday to the Marines
and all the veterans.
Speaker 4: They like, We are very thankful.
Speaker 3: We're very thankful for your sacrifice, for your time, your
hard work, dedication. We love it. We love the troops
here and off the bench. Thank god Jake's not here.
Speaker 5: You know, Cain loves the troops.
Speaker 4: Keep looking at this dogs, think he's going to give
me some sort of feedback.
Speaker 2: It's a girl, is it?
Speaker 7: For original was a boy, but the other dogs since
then have hopen females.
Speaker 3: So the dog depicted in the stuffed animal is indeed
a female.
Speaker 5: That's what Aaron told us.
Speaker 7: Okay, like the current, the current raising Cane's mascot is
a girl, okay, saying the third all right, whichever one's
the current?
Speaker 6: Sure, I think Kane needs to talk to her dad
and ask her to give Brian Kelly or ask him
to give Brian Kelly fifty four million?
Speaker 4: Then, yeah, can you just make the taxpayers do it? Whatever?
Speaker 2: Into the report?
Speaker 4: Was that a load of crap too?
Speaker 7: That like, oh, guys, don't worry, Like there was one
donor who like basically footed the entire bill.
Speaker 2: Did he decided he didn't want.
Speaker 4: To do that anymore? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Apparently, Well, at first I heard there was a donor
in Treeport. Then he was in Lafayette, California. When I
heard California, I heard it Lake Charles got too. But
they were all the same person. Apparently they just live
in different areas.
Speaker 2: God gets around.
Speaker 3: Apparently, Hey, can you just like step up and just
say you're gonna do it. We're gonna fire him for
cause anyway, and then we're supposed to we're supposed to
say that we're going to fire him for calls within
seven days. We guess what, We're gonna wait fifteen days,
write this check. We won't cash it, Okay, we promise
we'll make the taxpayers do it.
Speaker 5: Maybe Landry was right this whole time.
Speaker 3: Maybe so he said he read the contract. I don't
know who's reading the contract right now, right, well, all right, not.
Speaker 5: My circus, not my monkey.
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to break early, and then we'll
come back. Since we kind of got lost in the
ways there with Kelly, we'll come back with a late
weekend winters right here on off the bench, off the bench,

Speaker 1: Locked in on LSU Football twenty four to seven. You're

Speaker 4: Yeo, what's up?
Speaker 1: Holy how.
Speaker 4: We were enjoying Cane being here?
Speaker 5: But but Jake's.
Speaker 4: Hey Jake.
Speaker 3: Somebody in that chat, some man in chat earlier said
that dog's got that Jake in him. Yeah, yeah, you
got you look like you've been through it this morning, buddy.
All right, you get settled in. We we tease this
two segments now, so we are gonna do right now,
a little late weekend winners.
Speaker 4: That's how win it has done.
Speaker 7: That's right.
Speaker 4: We can't have anyone to freak out out there.
Speaker 7: Okay, he's got a key bark and pologer got too far.
Speaker 4: I'm by winning. I went here and I win there? Now?
Speaker 8: What are you doing what it takes to win a championship?
Speaker 6: Wow?
Speaker 4: Winning? Well, then I guess there's only one thing left
to do. What's that win the whole thing? All right?
My first weekend winner.
Speaker 3: University of Indiana game on the line, potentially season on
the line, potentially driving down. At the end, we saw
what will probably go down as the catch of the year,
at least the body control catch of the year. You
might see a one hander out there that's gonna be
a little bit more jaw dropping, but the body control,
the foot control to get a foot down. Omar Cooper
passed from Fernando Mendoza with an incredible drive to win
the game, to seal it in Penn State.
Speaker 4: Right here, look at this body control.
Speaker 3: What was impressive is how high he had to go
defender pushing him out of bounds like you're taught to do.
He notices he can't get his right foot down, so
he switches his body control and taps his left toe.
And it doesn't look like he scores from like the
top angle, the real angle, But then you get the
field level view in center replay and you saw somehow
he keeps his right toe off of the dirt and
he taps his left toe. Incredible, especially in the moment
of what it was. Indiana be number two, all the
everybody watching, all eyes on them. Penn State, you know,
hasn't looked like that. Penn State since probably the Oregon
game earlier in the year, they've been a shell of themselves,
but they came out that game and played hard. Their
defense played great until the end. Top quarterbacks at the
end in college football for n Mendoza drives him down
and oppressive, but capped off with a catch that might
go down this season as the best catch in college football.
Speaker 4: Omark Cooper.
Speaker 5: Shut out.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that was incredible, Like in in air, like you said, like, nope,
right foot can't get there.
Speaker 4: It's like the right foot off the ground.
Speaker 8: I thought in real in real time, I was like,
a it's too high, can't come back down.
Speaker 4: I didn't know the guy was gonna float. Hey, welcome back. Hey,
glad to be back. Wee can winner, Jake Kester, glad
to be back. Glad to be back. Yeah, I appreciate
you all holding it down this morning.
Speaker 8: Had to take the kiddos to school, had to call anaudible.
Speaker 4: Got it done though, got it done. Hey, we're Foxhall.
Speaker 8: I'll go ahead and go why not right into it?
Weekend Winter Yukon football.
Speaker 4: Jim Mora.
Speaker 8: Takes over right former NFL coach for the Falcons. He's
been a coach a couple of different places, UCLA Seahawks.
I believe as well. He takes over Yukon and when
he did. The three seasons before he takes over, they
were one and eleven, two and ten, one and eleven
didn't play during COVID thought about canceling the program or
moving to the FCS. He takes over, they go six
and seven, make it to a ball game. They did
have a setback in twenty three, go three and nine,
but then last year they go nine and four, beat
North Carolina in a bowl game, and now seven and
three and just beat Duke last weekend, Yukon football Jim
Moore shout out to y'all because you almost quit the
program all together and now you're making bowl games every year.
Speaker 4: Congrats to you you.
Speaker 3: Basketball school, Yeah for sure, man, damn womensh.

Speaker 7: All the big man touchdowns we had this weekend, we
had quite a few. So Miami their final touchdown of
the game, they got their offensive linemen involved.
Speaker 2: As you see it here.
Speaker 7: It was a throwback pass he gets into the end
zone during their blowout win.
Speaker 2: It was incredible.
Speaker 7: Then this one here probably my personal favorite, John Marshall
High School. Look at this pick six by this defensive
tackle scores on this play. By the way, this guy
rumbles all the way down to the one yard line
and gets this thing done. I mean you see him
right there. So it's number seventy six. Yeah, he breaks
he dives into the end zone a little bit like
e look at look at the guy. Look at our
guy go One of the most electric pick six you're
ever going to.
Speaker 4: See in the in the NFL.
Speaker 7: Sheldon, I mean the game ended right here with this
pick six by Sheldon fumble recovered by Sheldon Rankins. He
rumbles down the field, he gets into the end zone,
seals it for the Texans. Ranks, big man touchdowns, weekend winners.
Speaker 4: God, I hadn't heard that name in a lot of years.
Former Saint shut out. God. That looked like the toush
push from the fifty.

line at the forty yard line in scores.
