Speaker 5: What's the high eighty seven today?
Speaker 6: Oh my god, we're in that time of the year
where you were a jacket in the morning, sweating you
know what, off by the afternoon.
Speaker 5: All right, I know, at least we get to wear
the jackets in the morning, we are nearing the was

Speaker 7: Actually I'm not Lacy. Actually is it online?
Speaker 5: Down? It's the buttons for me?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: How close were you to wearing a vest today?
Speaker 7: I wasn't because the first thing I put on with
shorts and I was like, I'm not gonna go.
Speaker 5: That's what I gotta go.
Speaker 7: I forgot to do my pants shopping this summer where
you find the deals.
Speaker 5: I'm out of pants.
Speaker 7: I've been wearing the same like joggers and and pants
for about four to five years. Now, yeah, they started
failing me last year.
Speaker 6: I did one of those uh subscription services because of
the same same deal jogger subscription uh yeah, fabletics y. Yeah,
so the whole family tried.
Speaker 7: I didn't like it. I didn't like the pants. We
share it. Okay, that's okay. You would have new pants.
That's what I have on today. Yeah, joggers from Yogurts Jagas.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: If you just showed up here with some shorts and
a vesta on, I'll ask you to kindly leave.
Speaker 5: That'd a been a step too far.
Speaker 6: I got the hoodies, oh yeah, I got my punch onto.
Speaker 7: You should in summer and fall it is, but I
got the shorts on. Let's letting my legs breathe a
little bit.
Speaker 5: What's that? It is still a high eighty seven.
Speaker 6: That's very fair, like Taylor told us, Yeah, we definitely
listened to that. U j'all watch either Monday Night game
yet too. I did not make it all the way
you made to the end.
Speaker 5: Of the second one, did Why not? Oh?
Speaker 6: I wonder why you're sleepy. That's kind of like my
bedtime nights about my bed started nine. Oh my god,
oh uh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it wasn't wasn't the best football. Let me tell
you something. CJ. Stroud not that good at football right now. No,
he's not. He's like, what a fall from.
Speaker 7: I think he was under last night, but fall from grace?
He was like, let's see the next next thing, the
next big thing twenty.
Speaker 5: Three of forty nine, and was not Fluky his rookie year.
It wasn't.
Speaker 7: It wasn't Flukey was an an accident. How does he
have such a regression? Like what is happening within their
offense with their offensive courter? Like what is happening in
Houston right now? He's playing objectively bad? Yeah, like it's
not even close.
Speaker 5: He's he's seeing some ghosts.
Speaker 7: My god, he's seeing some ghosts and then when he
sees humans he can't hit him.
Speaker 6: I was watching last night and he had one where
he had a I think it like it ran like
a go out of the slot and a slant behind it,
and it was there and he went to rip it
and then just didn't do it. Just didn't do it. Yeah,
it was like and then took a sack. I think
he took a sack. Maybe threw it away either.
Speaker 7: Way, maybe a bunch of throws where he should have
been seeing ghosts because it was like right to the
other team.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. He's playing really bad.
Speaker 7: And you would have told me three years ago that
Sam Donald would be like the thirty times a quarterback
he is in twenty twenty five. Sam Donald's good man.
There gonna be some shakeouts in that QB Power rankings
this week.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 6: The Seahawks in the ENTI higher West outside of the Cardinals. Yeah,
real good. Five and two. The Rams right now look
like they have what it takes to win the whole thing.
Speaker 5: The Rams.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you get the Rams, the Niners, and the
Seahawks all at five and two.
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you have the Seahawks could easily make a run.
They are good. Their defense is flying around. They may
like CJ did not play good, but their defense was
flying around. Their offenses got jsn is awesome. Sharbonay awesome.
Sam Darnold playing maybe not at an MVP calibry just
yet in the season, but wait till the end of
the season, Like that guy's playing really good football.
Speaker 5: How about Minnesota? What are you? What are you thinking?
Right now.
Speaker 7: With Carson Wentz. You have a second year quarterback that
has had one good quarter and then got injured, and
you let go probably two guys that are gonna be
at the top of the MVP conversation in the same year.
Let Sam Donald go and Danny Dimes go. Yeah, how
about that, I'm the same team last year. Yeah, it's
not great. I mean, unfortunately, and you know how this works.
When you have a JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 6: You drafted him in the first round like he was
always going to be the guy. Like I wonder though,
if we had some old true serum and Kevin O'Connell
or like hey Bud, Hey Bud, which one would you
have kept? Probably would not have been JJ. Huh, And
I think you'd tell us maybe to kept Sam.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean you wouldn't have like got rid
of him.
Speaker 6: But no, but you would have had Sam Donald and
nobody could have foreseen Danny Dimes well, Indiana Jones the
rise he but people forget that he was on that
team last year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was on the Y when he got released.
So yeah, as we signed will ooh, yeah, neither one
of those teams.
Speaker 7: If you told me that any of those West Coast
NFC teams make it to the Super Bowl, I wouldn't
be shocked, Like the Niners, are they ever gonna lose again?
They get everybody injured, I know, and they bring Mac
Jones in, who I believe is four and one now
as the starter there. Yeah, didn't they beat the Rams
with mac Jones?
Speaker 5: Yeah? They beat the Rams with Mac Jones.
Speaker 6: And I know you, I think, I know you hate this,
but you know Sunday Night football where you say your
name in school, has like the PFF grade like seventh
guard out of sixty four whatever. The forty nine ers
have so many people banged up, like their entire defense,
they had like two guys that have had that because
there wasn't grades and there wasn't enough data on like
seven of their starters to have like ranked blah blah
blah out of this and they said their name. And
I feel like I know the NFL pretty well and
certainly like being in the card business, even if you
like don't know the player and maybe what his skill
set is, like you've seen his.
Speaker 5: Name, yeah, you've seen it. I didn't.
Speaker 6: I couldn't find him on a milk card. Didn't know
half of them.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you might have gotten sad when you
pulled that card, but you've seen it stuck in your memory.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh lord, m THEO Johnson's world. That's kind of balling
this year.
Speaker 7: Got a lot of his cards. His cards might be
worse dollar like multiple dollars. Now, I got's terrible.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of his cards. I don't know if
he's terrible or not, but I hate him.
Speaker 6: Luke McCaffrey, Luke McCaffrey, A ton of Luke McCaffrey.
Speaker 5: Dallas Turner, Oh, a ton of Dallas Turner, first round pick,
but not real good? Then the card game real good?
All right? So that was last night. Seahawks. Who was
the first game?
Speaker 6: Oh, take down the Texans and then the Lions and
Kelvin Shephard put the clamps on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 5: Tampa Bay Tays. Yeah, let me tell you the.
Speaker 6: I'm assuming that every one of our teams, by the way,
loss this week, every one of them, everybody except Green
Bay Wan Bay one, Bud Green Bay one.
Speaker 5: They came back, that's right. There was a Cardinals in
their backup quarterback.
Speaker 6: That's right, Ja Kobe. They came back.
Speaker 5: Set, dude, I mean, it's so much better than color murdher.
Speaker 2: H.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was great. Let me tell you, Ford Field
is a heart. I'm assuming it's still called ford Field,
even if it's not what it's going to be for us.
For us, it's Ford Field. It's a hard place to play.
I don't care how good our Green Bay team was.
It was always unique building. It's like a warehouse.
Speaker 5: Yeah. And it's loud. Yeah. And they they love it.
Speaker 7: They loved their lions and especially in prime time, just
like every other stadium in the world prime time, they're
a little juiced up by that field.
Speaker 5: It's a challenge of place to play. I played the
game there.
Speaker 7: I started a game on Thanksgiving and it was the
worst experience of my life as a as an NFL
quarterback where we scored like six points or something. We
got the hell be out of us there too, and
it was Yeah, it's is spiraling. And Matthew Stafford and
Megatron just kept yeah, they just kept going.
Speaker 5: He just kept gone. I don't get it.
Speaker 7: So yeah, they go and they absolutely throttle the Buccaneers.
And let's let's let's also give credit to somebody. The
lot of Saints fans probably do not like, let's take
our hats off to what could be a career for
Mike Evans after I don't know, it seems like they
it didn't seem very good.
Speaker 8: It's probably a concussion with the collar bone.
Speaker 7: Like yeah, yeah, but he was knocked out.
Speaker 4: He was.
Speaker 8: I had to do a f RS. I was driving
home and it was on the radio and they were like, oh,
d ball caught dropped by Mike Evans. I'm like, it's
normally normally drop balls. And then like on the broadcast,
they're trying to figure out how he dropped it. They're like, oh,
he's down. They're like, I think he's out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know how Ake and a Buck like
didn't put it. They couldn't connect the dots that he
was knocked out.
Speaker 6: Right, he concussions is Troy Head. I'm not trying to
be funny.
Speaker 7: He couldn't. He couldn't like move for a second. So
like he unbelievable, he actually caught it. Unbelievable catch. Then
when he got knocked out, you just see his arms
gonna go limp and he dropped it, and like even
the sideline reporter was like, he is an excruciating pain
right now. Like, we're talking about one of the toughest
dudes in the NFL for a long time.
Speaker 5: Guys.
Speaker 7: I think he had either ten or eleven one thousand yards.
He's tied with Jerry Rice.
Speaker 8: I think I think it was actually twelve.
Speaker 5: He had twelve.
Speaker 8: This will be the first year he didn't have it
since he's been in the league.
Speaker 7: So, man, what a career. I don't know if it's
it's the end of the road for him, but it
seems like it could be. Just he seems like he's
in a pretty content place. But man pulling out for
a future Hall of Famer sure, an incredible player. I
know he was a rival of the Saints, and a
lot of our listeners have probably yelled at him and
cursed at him.
Speaker 5: But we got to respect the game. But eleven got
to respect the game.
Speaker 6: All before we take a break and get back into
the want want.
Speaker 5: In that situation, it's Tuesday, man, vibes are up.
Speaker 6: Jamiir gives the best running back in the NFL. YEP,
it's close, man, I think I think I was. I
think after last night, after the speed of twenty.
Speaker 8: Two miles per hour, I think Jason Kelsey said he
hit I mean he was to bring up the fastest
time in three years. Yeah on that on that seventy
eight yard touchdown run.
Speaker 7: I guess he got eighty two. I think before that
the fastest of the year was Rachid.
Speaker 8: Right, yeah, long.
Speaker 5: Twenty one change.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Jamier Gibbs is incredible.
Speaker 5: Everybody man.
Speaker 6: When they drafted him, everybody's like, what, well.
Speaker 5: When you well they let go.
Speaker 7: From yeah, Joan Yeah, Swift, Yeah, just torch the Saints
for a billion yards per carry. Yeah, when you get
rid of that guy, and he was good for the Lions,
you get rid of him for Jamir because he was
top fifteen right, yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Daven Beijon both went top fifteen two backs the
same we could class, but they line him up a
receiver like he does everything for that team.
Speaker 7: Well, David Montgomery would be the premier, premiere back in
twenty eight of the teams in the NFL, he would,
I mean, not in Indianapolis, not in Atlanta, not in Detroit,
but he's probably starting most other places that started that
he started.
Speaker 6: Well, he's starting for the Saints, he's starting for the Chargers.
Him and Josh Jacobs would split time in Green Bay.
Probably they give Josh Jacobs a lot of love. But
to your point, like twenty five teams right now, right now,
and you've got him as your like secondary. Get twelve
carries a game maybe four minute offense type.
Speaker 5: Guy right short yardage.
Speaker 6: So all right, that was uh, you know football that
didn't involve us yelling at the Tigers are Saints. But
guess what we get to do that here when we
come back, and uh we'll do it right here on
o TV.
Speaker 3: Off the bench, Tigers turn talkers. This is off the bench.

Go flow IV spot. All right, let's throw it to tata.
Speaker 6: A little update, some injury news and nuggets there for
LSU football.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you saw the injury to Tyree Adams last week
in the loss to Vanderbilt, really early into the game.
Looks like he is out against Texas A and M
and could actually miss multiple games, is the latest report.
So a little bit more serious than we initially thought.
Brian Kelly did, however, say it will be DJ Chester
over there. He's our most experienced guy. He said, Well,
give Carrius Current some reps, but we'll see how it
goes through the week. Right now, we feel like Chester
gives us our best five.
Speaker 7: All right, all right, block him up. So how is
Texas A and M's front seven.
Speaker 6: I mean they're look, they're they're good.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 6: Last year I thought they were one of the best
in the country. I don't think they're quite at that level.
But no, I mean, we're not gonna come here and
tell you they're not good because they are. DJ struggled
last week. It left tackle I don't, I mean graded
out thirty seven point six past blocking grade and it
showed on tape overall grade less than fifty. I do
think that's an issue when the guy who was your
starting center last year who's now your backup center this year,
which that that in itself started on an offensive line
with four guys that got drafted, he was the only
other one, and now he's not starting. He's also like
your swing guard and your swing tackle, and it wasn't great,
and in fact, it was objectively really bad last week.
And so like that's what you're rolling out there, like
I I'm not there every day, I'm not at practice.
And so if you've got you know, freshman that day
attack on, you're like, he's just not ready right now, okay,
but you should have somebody ready.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, you're gonna have to because how many how
many games do you go into and the first five
you throw out there for play one are the only
five offensive linemen that you play throughout the game.
Speaker 5: It I don't think it really very rarely doesn't happen.
Speaker 7: I mean, there might be an equipment malfunction, a guy's
gotta you know, blow out a a on a clead
or something like. There's things that happen throughout the game
where guys you always have to have a sixth and seventh,
like you said, a swing guy that goes and can
play any position. And offensive line coach and offensive coaches
they have a plan. They're like, all right, if the
left guard goes down, who's gonna wear? If the right
guard goes down, who's gonna wear? So they play out
all these situations, and I trust that we're putting the
guys that they feel are the best at the position
with what is available.
Speaker 5: But let's not like, let's not think here.
Speaker 7: Let's sit here and like think that we've had like
the best left tackle play in the world this season.
Speaker 5: Is there still gonna be a drop off?
Speaker 7: Sure, there's always a drop off from a starter to
a backup, especially if that backup.
Speaker 5: Is not real comfortable and hasn't played.
Speaker 7: A ton of left tackle in his life, like you said,
he was playing he was the center last year, So
the difference between playing center and left tackle is gigantic. Yeah,
I mean it's huge, it's not even it's not the
same position. Yeah, it's only offensive line. You got to
block people, but it's not the same position. There's different technique,
there's different stances, there's different everything.
Speaker 5: So it's not the same.
Speaker 7: So of course he's gonna struggle getting thrown in there
in the middle of the game.
Speaker 5: But at least, like give him a week to prepare.
Speaker 7: Sure, But look, weak parts and weak points in an
offensive line can be masked, they can be helped, they
can be fixed. I think Brian Kelly alluded to it
yesterday in his press conference. You gotta chip, you gotta thump,
you gotta slide. Let's not put him on an island
a lot. Let's slide out with him. There's things that
you can do to mask mass deficiencies. But I would
much rather him have a, you know, a whole week
to prep to work on his footwork, to work on
his you know, his kickstep from the left side. He's
mostly been working backup, quarterback and probably guard. Then you
get thrown in a left tackle. It's a tough situation.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess my whole point is is not having
a left tackle that's not your backup center ready to go. Yeah,
because even in the NFL, you have a swing interior
guy and you have a swing tackle guy, sure, two
different people.
Speaker 5: Never in your career.
Speaker 6: In the NFL was the backup packers center going to
go out there to left tackle.
Speaker 7: No, but but a lot of times there would be
like if your left tackle got hurt, maybe you move
a I saw, my right guard would get a left
we are and we have we'd have a swing guard
that would come in. The backup guard would come out.
It just everywhere vitation is different. Sometimes when a center
goes down, your left guard has to go in the center,
and then your backup tackle has to come in and
play left guard.
Speaker 5: You have to play.
Speaker 7: That's the That's why there's there's some offensive lineman in
the NFL that play years and years and years because
they can play all positions. They can go in and
play guard, and so they're a sixth or seventh guy
on every team. Now they end up getting six hundred,
seven hundred snaps in the season. They play a ton. Yeah,
but they're the swing guy and they can play every
position and be and be semi comfortable at it.
Speaker 5: Now, I don't know if that's what we have a
DJ Chester, We'll see.
Speaker 7: We'll see with a week of work, and I'm sure
he's sitting there and getting extra work in before practice
after practice on that left foot, back kickstep, slidestep, whatever
you want to call it. It's not a great situation
anytime you get anybody hurt, anybody on the offensive line hurt.
But it's not like we're going from the best in
the country to now at backup center. It's like you
had some you had some issues. You had the good
the bad where their left tackle play so far, But
they're like, there's things you can do from a play
design standpoint to certainly help it.
Speaker 6: Okay, do you have the faith that those things will
get done? Because I'm gonna be honest, I don't right now.
Speaker 5: Mmmm well I want to exactly. I want to really bad. Yeah,
mm hmmm.
Speaker 6: So now yeah, And I'm never in favor of the
answer being, hey, we'll put a tight end over there
toward Hits, towards Hits side that.
Speaker 5: I just like you.
Speaker 6: Some but it can't be like, yeah, what you think
fix is going to be, because then you're you're changing
the offense, you're changing some of the schematics of what
you're doing. They try to protect somebody and then it
one problem becomes two problems at that point.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think what you gotta do is you just
got to be versatile on the looks that you give them. Yeah,
sometimes you need to line up, you need to line
up a tied end. You need to thump them or
chip them. Now you need to chip them from a
cross key position with a back. You need to slide them,
you need to cut them, you need to drop back.
You need a one on one pass protect and then
a double team pass protection. You there's just multip You
gotta start giving multiple looks so that the person that
is going against the deficiencies in your offense, like that
person that's lined up one to one doesn't know exactly
what's coming, you can't tee off. That's why defenses always
have the advantage on third and long because they know
what's coming. They're like in my ears by as what
they call it ten years back. Because you know what's coming.
You can go do one thing when you stay a
normal down in distance. And that's why we talk harp
about like staying on schedule all the time. It's question marks,
is he gonna hand it. Are they gonna slide? Are
they gonna cut me? Do I have somebody coming in
from the outside to try to earhold me? Like they
when they when you have the defense second guests and themselves,
they're a little bit slower, which creates an advantage for
the offense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess you know.
Speaker 6: My entire thing about it is just like you need
to develop a tackle behind your starting tackle. And I
hear what you're saying, but I don't have a lot
of faith that that can get done. And when you
spend you know, this much on a roster, it's like
you've got some positions out there that you've got eight
guys in only three maybe four really playing that you
put a lot of resources into. Yep, And right now,
right now, the guys you got out of the portal,
you're starting center, you're starting right guard, have played well,
but it's like, where's the depth in the outside. Where's
the depth? And Thompson's played tackle before in his college career.
It just feels like putting a backup center. And it's
not fair to him either. I mean with a week,
it mean, what can you get done in two days
of practice to make you go from like a center
guard type guy to a tackle and again, like one
of the clips we showed yesterday, I mean, he was
getting put back into nusmar what did.
Speaker 5: What did you say?
Speaker 6: The other day we're watching NFL he almost got called
for rough in the passer the offensive lineman did so
look and that's a tough spot for him. Like, and
I've been in that position where it's like, yeah, hey
we're down, our third tight ends down. So if it's
not a fullback and we go like thirteen personnel, like hey, Bud,
you're you're on the line of scrimmage. You're in and
it's a different world down there. So I mean it sucks.
It's not there's nothing for him, Like he's going out there.
He's gonna do what he has to do. But it's
less than ideal to say the least.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 7: And like I see kind of the people talking in
the chat, it's like, it's not to say that there's
not other players that have been they've been trying to
get ready for that position.
Speaker 5: I think he was clear in the statement yesterday.
Speaker 7: That they just feel like he's the best option from
all the people that they were trying to get ready,
which means says, other guys are not ready to play
left tackle.
Speaker 5: No I I and I hear that. I hear that.
Speaker 6: I guess my problem is them not being ready to
play left tackle, or at least functionally enough where you
don't have to move your backup center out to left
tackle in the in the middle.
Speaker 5: Of the game. Yeah, yeah, I'm okay with it. Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean, like, you don't want people to go down right,
and you got to make a decision as a coach
on who you think, because it's all kind of a
guess once you put it, once you get out there
in the game. You can see him in practice, but
obviously in practice they have. It's not like nobody else
besides DJ Chester has worked left tackle on scout team.
Speaker 5: What they've seen in practice was not good enough.
Speaker 7: They felt like they their best option was to put
up a backup center at left tackle, which is not great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and itself is true. Yeah yeah, all right, Tiger's
by fifty.
Speaker 6: Fifty fifty to lose by fifty or.
Speaker 5: Just man scored more.
Speaker 6: Believe five against the power four team can double it up.
Speaker 5: Huh gotta believe people.
Speaker 8: By the way, I went to go look at.
Speaker 6: Who the other team was.
Speaker 4: It's bad.
Speaker 6: It's North Carolina.
Speaker 7: Fighting Belichick's yeah, go ahead tell the people.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, tell people.
Speaker 6: I think we did yesterday we did. But yeah, there's
there's two two teams, two Power four teams that have
not scored more than twenty five against an FBS opponent
this year, and it is you and the fighting Bill
Belichicks in Chapel Hill.
Speaker 8: You're also as far as Power five teams, ran the
least number of players on average per game, right behind
North Carolina.
Speaker 6: You're sixty six going into the Vandy game. What's it now,
I mean, we didn't we went under sixty six because.
Speaker 5: We score so fast.
Speaker 8: No, it's because we read four.
Speaker 5: You don't stop that. It's Tuesday. I'm not trying to
be sad here.
Speaker 7: Stright, chill out, Hey, dude, I think we're cooling. I
was trying to defend our guys.
Speaker 6: You a really good job of it.
Speaker 5: No, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't think that that should be the case. I'm
not saying that's not the best case for you right now.
I get what you're saying, and Brian Kelly said it yesterday.
I just don't think that that should be You're just
sad that it is the situation. Sure, it's still gonna
wear big L s U on my chest this week. Yeah,
purple purple my high hat. Wait a minute, that's why
I got purple stitching. I can't get the purple one yet. Yeah,
like I love the one that I wore yesterday. But
if you're gonna have that color combo, you probably have
a purple and gold one.
Speaker 7: It is a great point. They just don't make them
at the You've got a green with a orange rope
on it. And you see, it was supposed to be
it's supposed to be more of like a light teal
color with more of like a like a salmony. Not
it's supposed to be. It was supposed to be like
a real summary feel. Yeah, it was a little greener
than I thought and a little oranger than I thought. Yeah,
it's a little bit more redneck.
Speaker 5: I like it.

Speaker 5: It's only behind Friday right now. Thursday is pretty elite.
Speaker 8: I do like a Thursday because I love Friday and Thursday.
Speaker 6: You're like, oh, yeah, see, here's the problem for me.
On Thursdays, though, I always feel like when I'm done

good week, and it's like, no, you still got.
Speaker 5: To work Friday. You still gotta go.

Speaker 5: Yeah, weakened the books. That rouses. But then it's like,
oh yeah, June on some you know, some guacamole. They
give us some wings and it's arty choked dip yeah.
Speaker 6: Two, that is I need to ask them about that.
They give us wings, hallopena poppers and spinach jard choking
second or five eggirls are good?
Speaker 8: Are good?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Memis Memphis loves the wings.
Speaker 7: They drop them off about seven fifteen, seven thirty. Yeah,
Cassi brings them back here.
Speaker 8: I have a lead breakfast every mon here you go, there,
you go, wings andls.
Speaker 6: Nobody, and I mean nobody loves free food more than
the radio station. You put free food out in these hallways.
It's like grimlins yep. Like we're in the raising studio right.
The day that they brought raisin canes, you would have
thought it was gold bricks.
Speaker 7: I mean, nobody ever comes in this little either except
for the people that are on radio.
Speaker 6: And then there's certain there's certain people that come over
here to use the restroom, which I don't get.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't get it. Stay on your side
of the got your own restroom. Yeah, you know what
we're talking about. You know exactly.
Speaker 8: Resom that way less people use. Yeah, I don't understand that. Yeah,
the day they brought raisin canes, it looked like when
you go outside and a raccoon got in your trash
can it's not just torn up and thrown everywhere. That's
what the Dusk outs out the pike.
Speaker 5: See right here, they're raising canes. Studio already said that,
said it again. Let's say it one more time. They
can go.
Speaker 6: No, uh, how about these numbers that putting inside the
DoD BK is five and ten against ranked teams at
l s U. Yeah, overall record against ranked opponents is
thirty five and thirty seven, eleven and eleven in games
away from baton rouge and seven and seven and true
road games. LSU is tied with Buffalo at eighty fifth
in the country in points per game at twenty five
point six. Man, that road record like the rank okay,
the ranked things not know, yeah, you want to be
you wanna flip that. You want to be ten and
five playing you know, in the SEC. But the road
games being five hundred yeah wait, road games versus I
think just overall overall.
Speaker 8: So so eleven and eleven like road and neutral so
way road game seven and seven.
Speaker 7: Okay, huh, well a lot of the out of the eleven,
I guess five of those would be opening games, right, Oh.
Speaker 6: Those aren't coach os for a couple of those open. Yeah,
but he lost to Florida State twice and the USC.
Speaker 8: And then you, uh, there's one more because that would
be four, so we're missing one.
Speaker 7: But either way, okay, all right, certainly not the figured
out like doesn't match the expectation. You know, you got
to fix the road issues for sure.
Speaker 8: SEC Championship.
Speaker 5: You're one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good, bright side, come on, this week's at home. Yeah,
this week's at home.
Speaker 1: And but it's a rank if I want to pump sunshine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't believe.
Speaker 7: What I'm saying right now, but whoever, it's like usually
wherever you play, that's who wins.
Speaker 6: Where Texas and had won. Yeah, A and M has
not won here since they joined the SEC. Now you
haven't won there in a minute since fifteen I think
I want to say that's correct, But you've won there,
they have not won here. It's kind of been like
their rallying crid this week. Everything I've seen from A
and M and our guy Looch and everybody, it's like,
this is the time we can go.
Speaker 5: Over there and you can win.
Speaker 6: Although you've been a favorite in this stadium by much
more than you are this week and lost the game,
like the Dre Jenkins game that they were a big
favorite in that game and then lshu still found a
way to win.
Speaker 4: It is one.
Speaker 8: I think BK only has one home loss at night.
L shoe as well been Alabama last year.
Speaker 6: What uh st your daddy's Texas Mike Elico has got
and Tommy Maffitt got them boys. Yeah, right now, right
now they are. They are ahead of the Texas eight
and four. The games that they typically would lose, even
last week against Arkansas, Arksas scored forty two points. They
lose that game in the past, the Notre Dame game
where they convert on fourth down? Was there a penalty?
Sure didn't get called. That's football. They lose that game
in the past. They're winning those games. That's what's different.
The moment's still there last year, but they're making the
play to win now.
Speaker 7: I'm actually shocked to the line right now is Texas
A and M favored by two and a half points.
I'm actually kind of I'm actually shocked that it's not
two and a half. I think I think it's what
we were talking about.
Speaker 8: Their their record at all year, Beca's record a night
at home, like.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna take your best effort. Yeah, it's gonna
take your best effort.
Speaker 7: It's gonna it's gonna take your best effort, and it's
going to take you doing things in this game that
you have not done all season.
Speaker 5: Yep, this is this is Texas A and M.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and this defense has been put up, like people
have put up forty plus on this defense multiple times
this year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Texas A and M is far better than Clemson.
Texas A and M is far better than Texas A
and M is miles better than South Carolina.
Speaker 5: I'd say, I'd say Vanderbilt's right there.
Speaker 6: I went after watching that tape, I went back and
I watched the Alabama Vanderbilt game just to try to
see if I could feel better. Vanderbilt had two chances
in that game.
Speaker 5: Did it make you feel better watching Alabama?
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I think Vanderbilt actually had moments in
that game, and I think Missouri had moments in that game.
Credit to Alabama four making again the winning plays. Like
Missouri had seven times they could have changed and flipped
the script in that game, and they didn't make any
of the seven Vanderbilt had I'd say three, and they didn't.
They didn't make any of the three. So credits the
Alabama because that's who stopped them.
Speaker 5: But both of them down to their last strides.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like they still had the chance. But to my
whole point, I know, we get a break is like
Vanderbilts in that category. From what I've seen, I've watched,
you know, two and a half games multiple times just
watching the coaches tape.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm agree. I'm not disagreeing with anything you're saying.
Speaker 7: They are that there's nobody that's more well coached, there's
nobody that's gonna play with more effort and do their job.
Speaker 6: Then eleven all the minor details that they cover in
every single play.
Speaker 7: It's just it's really really from top to bottom, like
you said, the big things, but the small details of
how they execute.
Speaker 6: The guard picking up the corner cat all right, we
gotta know it was a tackle. Oh it was a garden,
one of the gardens the tackles engaged. Yeah, all right,
well that was sad.
Speaker 3: More o TV off the bench.

Speaker 6: All Right, welcome back in O TV.
Speaker 5: I didn't think I couldn't hear myself. I was like,
wait on, is this thing on?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 6: I can't do it because it's a windscreen. Damn, what
do you want to do?
Speaker 5: We'll just joined them. Hello is this thing on? Anyways?
Speaker 6: Uh l s U dead last in the country, like
Tat said in uh in place per game?
Speaker 5: Why is that? Like?
Speaker 7: What what attributes that? Just the three and ouns? Yeah,
I mean just three and outs certainly, and also the.
Speaker 6: First time this year you score points on an opening drive,
first time you got multiple first founts.
Speaker 7: But it also doesn't help like we've we know during
the old mess game and Vander but the defense.
Speaker 5: Was out there a long time.
Speaker 7: They can't get off on you know, they've had a
hard time getting off on third downs. So that contributes
to a lot of that. But certainly inefficiencies, lack of
you know, super low third down conversion rates from your offense.
Speaker 5: A lot of things contribute to that.
Speaker 7: Jake not being very good on offense, that's that's probably
the number one thing.
Speaker 5: Yep, that's what I was looking for, all right.
Speaker 7: Lot of room to improve, though only one way to go. Yep,
watch out Texas, A and M.
Speaker 6: Look out in North Carolina, who's won thirty five in
the country. Six we're on your heels.
