Speaker 1: I'll start to you to present off the bench.
Speaker 2: This is what we have been waiting for.
Speaker 3: Off the bench.
Speaker 4: Now here's Jacob Hester.
Speaker 3: Joe and welcome in to otb. Here on a Friday morning.
Weekend vibes starting here right right, weekend vibes a Landre,
Cassie here with me. I'm just gonna keep saying it
until somebody feels it and thank you, thank you, weekend vibes. Cassie.
I can feel it. I can just feel it coming
from that side.
Speaker 4: It's radiating from Cassie.
Speaker 3: Look, it's Friday. That's that's exciting. Nobody's on the road.
That's even more exciting. I like, this is the time
of year when I can just leave my house and
get to work and not fight students, be it high
school or college students.
Speaker 2: And when you're forty, you look forward to those things.
Speaker 4: I need forward to that now.
Speaker 2: I need you to get a little bit more excited.
Speaker 3: I'm excited right because mine's definitely authentic.
Speaker 4: It is a long weekend.
Speaker 3: Oh that's true. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4: So that makes me a little happy.
Speaker 2: I mean, at the end of the long weekend, you
got a week full of Taylor.
Speaker 5: But and also like weekends don't really mean anything to me.
I still like pretty much work on the weekends too.
So what do you mean, Well, I have that I
have a remote tomorrow at Jumbalifs, so I have to
go all the way to Gonzalez all the way.
Speaker 4: That's out of town for me.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's like, what twenty minutes from your house.
Speaker 5: Maybe a little longer than that. I don't think it's
twenty minutes to Lamar Dixon.
Speaker 3: I should drive. When I was playing in San Diego,
I drove forty minutes to work every day.
Speaker 4: That's frustrating.
Speaker 2: I mean drives pretty good.
Speaker 1: Bit.
Speaker 5: I know sometimes I go out there and I'm like,
how does Taylor do this?
Speaker 4: Every day? That's really what I'm thinking when I drive every.
Speaker 3: Time I go to the beach, I'm thinking, Yeah, my god,
how does he do this? No, I don't know, But
so what's going on there?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: What is that? I have no idea? So, I mean,
obviously I get the Jumbalaya part of it.
Speaker 4: I don't really know.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to do my research today because I
gotta do like breaks and stuff like that. But I'm
pretty sure it's just like a Jumbla cooking contest.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm not really is that Lamar Lamar Dixon.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So if you're gonna go be at jumble a Fest,
I'll be there from eleven to one.
Speaker 3: This this is an honest question because you worked for
like every station here.
Speaker 2: Basically, what station are you going?
Speaker 4: Ele You're totally right though I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I didn't know it could be any of well, not talk,
but outside of that. Yeah, and you've done your time
on talk.
Speaker 5: I have done my time on talk, so it's a cookoff.
And then they have a fun run. Oh they have
a car show, a pageant. I guess you could be
like Miss Jumbalaya or something.
Speaker 3: Oh, you definitely could be Miss Jumbalaya. That's that's for sure.
Speaker 5: I would have signed up if I knew they had Yeah,
I bet you would have vendors.
Speaker 4: And okay, that's the sponsors.
Speaker 5: But I think they have music too, Like I think
they have like little live music stuff going on. Yeah,
they got band schedule, cooking contests, mini pot contests.
Speaker 4: All kinds of stuff. All right, Oh, Eastern cor is
gonna be playing on Saturday.
Speaker 2: I mean he's pretty big.
Speaker 5: Right, I guess he has some hits, saying I think
he's like big now, but.
Speaker 4: He used to be big. I met him last year,
remember you had to.
Speaker 5: I mean he doesn't have any hits now, Oh wow,
I haven't heard in years.
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm not familiar with his work.
Speaker 3: The name because one because I've heard you say the
name too. It sounds like a travel baseball name. It does,
so for that reason, I think it sticks in my mind.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that sounds like.
Speaker 3: How about hey, you know what you're like, you're in
front of a computer.
Speaker 4: That's my favorite one. I was just gonna stick it
for you.
Speaker 2: I know this is a radio like, this is a
radio station.
Speaker 3: How about you pull it up and as I'm asking
Cassie how she's doing, you can play it after that. Okay, Cassie,
you're without Hunt today?
Speaker 2: Correct?
Speaker 4: Yes, who's filling in for Hunt? Moose?
Speaker 2: Moose during baseball?
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a long baseball show.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, so you are two hours? Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's two full hours of Hoover for sure.
Speaker 4: Two hours of Hoover. Okay, here we go, here's Eastern Corbin. No, right,
he's been drinking is probably his most popular. Yeah, I
would say.
Speaker 3: So whispering and my.
Speaker 4: Okay, I think I think you gotta wait for this part.
Wait for the Cory here.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right Easton, Yeah, now Eastern Easton phiels big
time now for the jumbal Eya fest.
Speaker 4: He was just at Texas Club like he goes like
every year to the Texas all.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Easton definitely played travel baseball though, no doubt.
Speaker 4: He's jacked like he wears a sh medium where.
Speaker 3: See, if you have another one of those, it's ten
push ups. If you have another one where you unhinde
your jaw, it is ten push ups. We got to
wake you up.
Speaker 4: Said yesterday when I got home.
Speaker 5: When I got home at like four point thirty, I
fell asleep, and like my boyfriend Adam came over and
he was supposed to wake me up, and he.
Speaker 4: Makes me up at eight o'clock night. Yeah, three and
a half hour.
Speaker 2: That's a sleep, Cassie to sleep.
Speaker 4: So I couldn't fall asleep last night.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, we're gonna need We're gonna need you
or can get it together.
Speaker 2: It's like some jumping jacks or something.
Speaker 4: I don't like coffee and I don't drink caffeines, Like
I don't.
Speaker 3: Like coffee cas because you don't have yet and you
don't do a morning show.
Speaker 2: That's why laundra is on the coffee.
Speaker 3: I'm so, I'm so, yeah, what happened with you Starbucks.
Speaker 4: That you know us? We have the app like normal people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're ahead of time.
Speaker 2: I've got like seventeen free coffees lined down.
Speaker 4: Same.
Speaker 5: So like I order a hat on the app ahead
of time so that I could just run in and
grab it real quick. Right, So I order on the
app and I get there and the Starbucks is closed.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, why did you allow me to order
on the app?
Speaker 2: I closed for renovation?
Speaker 3: Close for what?
Speaker 2: Clos Like we're not gonna be here no more.
Speaker 5: Well, no, not like that, but like they were closed,
and they're usually open at the time that I go
get it, like at five forty five or six whatever
it is.
Speaker 4: It was six today, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I get there and it was closed, Like I
guess nobody showed up to work this morning.
Speaker 4: I was so it was the one downtown because it's
right here. So I just go to that one real
fast so I don't have to go out my way.
Speaker 5: It's like in a hotel like Courtyard Marriotte whatever.
Speaker 4: So it's downtown. Yeah, they're open all.
Speaker 3: The time though, Yeah those ones in hotels.
Speaker 4: Though, Man, that made me so mad. But it's not
like in the hotel.
Speaker 5: It's like outside the hotel and the hotels above it
or something. But anyway, made me so angry. So let
me see my coffee arrives at seven twenty two.
Speaker 2: All right, so we got fifteen more minutes that you.
Speaker 3: Not happy, not very happy, hating on Eastern Corbin. I mean,
that's a song that I know, and I don't even
listen to country music really, and I know that song.
Speaker 5: So I couldn't name one that he has out now,
that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Yep, you know that doesn't really mean anything like, Okay,
this is the first name that popped into my brain.
Clint Black's got some bangers, that is true. Black ain't
got one out right now, he ain't had one probably
in twenty five years.
Speaker 4: You're right, I'll give you that one.
Speaker 5: But I will say that I heard somebody talking about
they saw him recently and it wasn't that good.
Speaker 3: No, all right, I got aht a little bit of
a confession and nobody's gonna care about a laundry because
she knows how much I love Mark Chestnut.
Speaker 4: Okay, not great, not great, not great.
Speaker 3: Right now, not great? And you know, you know I
love Mark Chestnut.
Speaker 4: Not great live somebody saw him and they told you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's because.
Speaker 4: Same thing I told you with Travis Tripp.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that Rice has been cooking in the microwave
a little too long, a little too long for Travis.
But yeah, maybe you might get all country songs now
because we're talking about some of the great nineties country artists,
So that feels appropriate today, right all right. Also, Lu's
playing A and M. That's awesome. That's fun.
Speaker 4: It is fun.
Speaker 3: Actually, I think I wanted to see him Dunton, right,
I want to pay back, Yeah right, I wanted respects
to get touched up a little bit.
Speaker 2: But it is A and M. We're fighting, you.
Speaker 4: Know, it is A and M.
Speaker 5: Jayslovelett is out for the rest of the tournament with
a broken hand.
Speaker 2: Broken finger ring for you, right.
Speaker 5: Oh, they showed a picture of it, like discussed it
did so. Also, their bullpen is a little depleted. They
already pitched Prager and Lampkin and Lsu has Kate Anderson
ready to go, so hopefully we can get some revenge
on them.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I wanted it more. I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Something like the Auburn series just pissed me off, like
it it made me angry.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure you know they swept you, but I
don't know.
Speaker 3: Man, they were celebrating every double like they were about
to win Game seven of the World Series.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But look, it's A and M. So it's not like
we have to find this made up juice for this game.
It's the fighting Billy Luci's like, we're ready to go,
all right, so you win? You look, win one game.
I don't. I don't think you need to do anything
like the people that we've all talked with on different
shows whatever, whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't think you need to do anything.
Speaker 3: But you win one game and you guarantee yourself postseason
baseball at the box until you get to Omaha. So
you've got your guy. They've already had to pitch their
guys because they're fighting for their life. They had eleven
wins coming into Hoover. The magic number thirteen we all
know it.
Speaker 4: So unfortunately they got to thirteen.
Speaker 3: I guess now now they did technically they did.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that like really really counts.
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of bid steelers out there though. Yeah,
and so because of that, I just I don't know
that A and M. And that's what we can do
in the next segment. We kind of look at who
is stealing a bit because like the Southland Conference, like
that was a bid that was stolen nobody like in
what Southeastern may be going to find their way in
as and at large they had a really good season.
So those are a couple of the teams just off
the top of my mind, but we could go across
some of these different leagues. The ACC might have a
team steal a bid that wasn't going to get in,
So we'll kind of look at it. We're trying to
find a way not to get Texas A and M
into the postseason, okay, because they only had eleven wins
in the regular season. But we'll break it all down,
and today is very quarterback heavy. We've got Aaron Murray
set to join us at seven point thirty, We've got
Colt McCoy at eight thirty, and we've got the CEO
of my high Matt Flynn set to join us at
nine am. So a lot of quarterback talk going to
be on the show today, but continuing the baseball talk
when we come back here on OTB Off the bench,
all right, Go to get Gordon dot com. Get Gordon
dot com is the website for Gordon McKernon injury Attorneys.
And if you go to the website, you can see
what they can do for you cases they can handle
for you in the courtroom, like a full list is
on the home page. You can get past client results,
so you know people that have worked with Gordon and
the team and the results that we always tell you about.
I mean, look, I mean, if you're watching us on YouTube,
you can see right there the numbers tallying up and
what they've done for clients here in the state of
Louisiana and throughout the state of Louisiana. They are top
to bottom, east to west, everywhere in between. Does not
matter where you're listening to us in state of Louisiana,
we are talking to you. So you can go to
the website Gedgordon dot com. You can go to any
major social media that handle's going to be at Get Gordon.
So Instagram, Facebook X whatever it might be. And then
also your area code in Louisiana. So three one, eight
two two five nine eight five five oh four three
three seven does not matter. Follow about eight a eight
eighty eight eighty eight, get Gordon and get it done.
Speaker 4: Welcome back to off the bench.
Speaker 6: When the sun goes down on my side of town,
that lonesome feeling comes to mind.
Speaker 5: O world term.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in It is otb here on
this Friday morning. I promise by the time we get
out of here, it's gonna be weekend vibes. Once a
Launder gets their coffee and Cassie stops yawning, We're gonna
have weekend vibes here on this show.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 3: We'll see if Flynn's in a weekend mood when he
gets here at nine, probably more like nine oh four.
All right. Some scores across the country in college baseball,
Arizona took care of BYU four to one in the
Big Twelve and the Big Ten Tournament. UCLA takes care
of Michigan seven to five. And the Sun Belt it
was Troy over Texas State four to two Texas A
and m over Auburn of course that's why LSU's playing
Texas A and M. That game was three to two,
only ten total hits in that game, and so Texas
A and M actually scores three runs on just four hits,
but they do advance. The two lane Green Wave knock
out the best team in the American UTSA ten to six.
Two Lane right now going for their third straight American
Conference championship. And we were talking about stealing bids earlier, well,
two lane's looking to steal one. And honestly, whoever wins
the American Tournament now is probably going to steal one
because they weren't going to get in. UTSA was like
the one team that was going to get in UTSA
is still going to get in.
Speaker 2: And so that's kind of what we're talking about.
Speaker 3: These teams that you know, didn't have the resume to
make the postseason, like TWU Lane hasn't really the last
couple of years, but they've won the American Tournament. Two
Lane right now is thirteen and fourteen in the American
but again they keep winning. UTSA was twenty three and
four in conference play, and so there's going to be
a bid that is stolen out of that conference now
there's still some that are still like Chalky, Like Northeastern
right now is winning in the CAAA tournament. That's a
team that's going to get into the postseason regardless. But
if they lose a game, that is another bid you
had some on Conference USA, Louisiana Tech continues to win,
they might steal a bid.
Speaker 2: So that's what we talked about.
Speaker 3: The last four in is really the first four out
because you're going to have four or five teams win
their conference tournament that they weren't supposed to and they're
going to take a bid from someone.
Speaker 2: I'll give you.
Speaker 3: Another example in the American Conference, like maybe Charlotte would
have gotten an at large bid if UTSA had won
the tournament, right, but Charlotte loses to East Carolina. So
now Charlotte, who is thirty six and twenty one overall
eighteen and nine in the American will they lose and
I don't know that they get in. So East Carolina,
I know, was not going to get in. So they
are going to take a bid from someone without question
in the American because those two teams might.
Speaker 5: Be Charlotte because D one had them projected as the
next four out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So if you didn't prefer form.
Speaker 5: Well in your tournament, this is where like it kind
of again, like we've said it, but if you're find
yourself kind of on the outside looking in, this is
where you want.
Speaker 4: This is important for you.
Speaker 5: The conference tournaments are for somebody like LSU or Texas
yesterday that really didn't matter too much to them. Dylan
Valantis got roughed up a little bit, but other than that,
like to because they gave him Freshmen.
Speaker 2: Of the Year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's still ridiculous. But anyway, Yeah, very important conference
tournament for Yeah, for a lot of teams.
Speaker 3: I mean the EEMLS, you's playing like they have to
go for broke. They have to throw everything they possibly can.
At the last two games Mississippi State, they win that
game nine to nothing. They beat Auburn yesterday three to two.
They're gonna throw everything they have left now in the
totality of their weapons, it's not a lot because they've
had to get to this point. They they didn't have
the luxury of half stepping into the SEC tournament. They
I maybe if they beat LSU, maybe that's enough. Like
just getting to the weekend, maybe that was enough. But
they knew that they understood what they had to do,
and so that's how they've entered this tournament. And we
caught up with Jay Johnson yesterday, like LSHU is going
to go for the win, but they're also going to
be smart. A and M didn't have that luxury. They
couldn't hold back, and so that's what they were. That's
what LSU was last year in the SEC tournament. A
couple of other teams. Houston Christian does win the Southland Conference.
Remember we talked about that with Hunt. Yesterday they played Uno.
So Houston Christians certainly was a team that was not
going to be in the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2: We talked about it.
Speaker 3: The Southland Conference champion was going to potentially still a
bit if Southeastern finds its way as an at large,
and still obviously a lot of work to do. There
were some other teams probably needed to go down for
that to happen. Hawaii did lose. Hunt was talking about
Hawaii early and often all week long. Actually they actually
do go down. So I think that's good for LSU
because of some random series that they played and somebody
that you're going against, so there you go.
Speaker 2: Hunt.
Speaker 3: Hawaii went down to Ucravine. I hope you're happy, Alandra.
Though for this LSU Texas A and M matchup, do
we expect it to be A and M just throwing
six and seven arms?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Is it going to be one of those days?
Speaker 3: I guess that's kind of what the storyline's going to
be to start it off, is how A and M's
going to attack it with what they have left? Because
you said they've already used all of their frontline starting pitching.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was looking back to cause, like I said,
they did use Prager and Lampkin already, so those are
your Friday.
Speaker 4: And Saturday starters.
Speaker 5: I was looking back to our game versus them, our
Sunday game versus them. I don't remember if that was
like a Thursday Friday series, but the third game that
we played against them, it was Miles Patten and Weston Moss,
and I believe Weston Moss through an inning or two
on Friday, so they might still have him as a reliever,
but they only use them to that Sunday, so I
would expect to see the same thing. I don't remember
if they ran Miles Patten out there. I don't think
they did, so they do still have those two arms.
Miles Patton had six strikeouts through six innings when we
faced him a few weeks ago, and then West and
Moss had two through three. So if we can hopefully
get Miles Patten out the way and get to.
Speaker 4: Moss and that'll be a good thing.
Speaker 5: But like I said earlier, we do have Kate Anderson still,
and I feel very confident.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got all your arms.
Speaker 3: You got a double bye, you got everything.
Speaker 5: Best case scenario versus the Aggie, So I feel good
about it. And like I said earlier to Jay Slavelet
is out with an injury, so hoping for the best. Yeah,
you got to get the monkey off your back. And
what I worry about though not worry, but we mentioned
this when in the last series, Zach Cowen's been getting
a little touched up, and yeah, yeah, A and M
had his number when we faced him. So but we
don't have to really worry about that too too much.
If Kate Anderson gives us well, actually I don't know
because he's probably gonna.
Speaker 4: Be on a shorter pitch count, but yeah, I think
we'll be fine.
Speaker 3: And I think you also want to get some different arms,
like in those high leverage situations as well. So I
mean you could see Shores and Williams and I mean
Cowen's for sure like going to be available. Uh, you know,
what do you do now? You still have to plan
like you're going to win the game and you're going
to continue on, So you can't use everything. But I'm
saying you have your choice of arms, and I think
that's a good thing. I think it's gonna be good
for whoever comes into the game because that is a
group that you have kind of shortened who is available
as far as those high leverage situations, and so now
you kind of know who you're going to roll with
in the postseason. So again, ELSA has everything available. There
is no reason for them not to go out there
and have advantages in this game against Texas A and M.
Because Texas A and M has had to you know,
I know that the score line was nine to nothing
against Mississippi State, but they still had to start the
game with their best guys and then they were in
a dog fight yesterday with the Auburn Tigers.
Speaker 2: So certainly not gonna have the weapons that you have available.
Speaker 5: If you're LSU Austin in the chat, says Moss, only
through thirty four pitches yesterday, so they probably will still
use moss Western Moss to relieve.
Speaker 2: It feels like a nickname there.
Speaker 4: Western Moss. Yeah, Easton Algae that there.
Speaker 3: You go, well done, well Easton catching Shreys here. Oh
he really is toay just the name. Sasquatch points out
that the Southland Championship is a three game series. It is,
and that's a good point. They did take that long break.
I say long, I mean because they played the tournament.
They take a break and then it's a three game series.
But even after that, I still think that at Houston
Christian right now, I believe they were the sixth seed.
Speaker 2: UNO was the eighth seed.
Speaker 3: I would be surprised if Houston Christian doesn't finish it off.
But either way, like the point in bringing up the
Southland Conference is that neither one of those teams is
going to make the postseason.
Speaker 2: Now, one of them is certainly going to make the postseason.
Speaker 3: I guess if U and O wins like we talked
about yesterday, they're probably here in the box. If Houston
Christian wins one more game and they win the series,
they'll probably be in Austin, Texas shout out to Houston
Christian though Todd Walker some places for Houston Christians.
Speaker 5: I was about to say, yeah, I heard him talking
about it on the broadcast. I don't remember when it was,
but I went to go look at the roster and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I asked Tid to come on today and he
wrote me like, at eleven thirty, your boy was out.
Oh it wasn't no chance I saw it live, but
I saw it this morning and he's like.
Speaker 2: Man, I've been working all day long.
Speaker 3: I'll catch up again with you next week, and like
he was working the SEC tournament and I'm sure he
was eye hust on his son's game as well, probably
going through it in that as well. So we'll have
Todd on next week to preview whatever LSU's regional looks like.
All right, we will step away here and when we
come back, we will be joined by the first of
many quarterbacks here today.
Speaker 2: Now Aaron Murray's gonna join us, of course.
Speaker 3: You know, friend of the show, colleague at Sirius XM
used to do snaps with our guy t Bob a Bear,
but he had some things to say about Arch Manning
heading into this upcoming college football season and certainly it
is a gained some steam to say the least. We'll
break it all down when we come back here on OTB.
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
Speaker 3: All right, So you heard Flynn the other day. I
mean he loves do sequies.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 3: We hear on the OTB team love Dose Sekis. It
is the perfect beer for any occasion. Lake beer, beach beer,
shower beer, bath beer, you name it, beer like ballpark beer.
It is the go to, and we've said it, We're
gonna continue to say it. Whether you're tailgating outside of
Tiger Stadium, watching the Saints on a Sunday, or just
kicking back with your crew. Dose Sekis brings that bowl
flavor and smooth finish that turns ordinary into legendary.
Speaker 2: It's not just beer.
Speaker 3: It is the beer of champions, or at least the
beer of guys who feel like champions. But you will
feel like a champion when you enjoy an ice cold
Do Sekis. So you don't have to be a champion,
because Dose Skis will make you a champion. So the
next time you're watching the game, grab a do Sekis
and remember stay thirsty, my friends. Responsibly, of course, dose
Seki's official beer of unforgettable sports moments.
Speaker 6: Welcome back to off the Bench, Will I went down
the Crown camp. We're house as on, not just headcam.
Speaker 3: My mind's on me. I should not see the calls,
but my hunts. Just go ahead and make a bin
on mast.
Speaker 6: I said, Hey, Prenny, lady wants to give me a
sign I'm getting anything online.
Speaker 4: I'm here dting beach picking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I ne't seen anyone looking so fine. Man, I
gotta haven't seen one of them.
Speaker 6: Kind I'm going going class in the second row. She
denin again.
Speaker 4: I know she's got threepit lit blong hair beat.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome again. It is OTV here on a
Friday morning, and we are going to start our quarterback
conversations now. By the way, John Michael Montgomery didn't have
a hit recently, still got bangers, just saying Elandra got
some respect on all Easton.
Speaker 2: That's a great song.
Speaker 3: When I learned that song and I knew the words
to it, I felt like I was at my peak,
Like I won't get cooler than this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, And that was I.
Speaker 2: Think I was.
Speaker 3: I think I was probably in middle school. It tells you. Oh,
that's what we came out.
Speaker 2: Maybe elementary. I don't know.
Speaker 3: We'll look at it either way. Either way, let's get
to our guy, Aaron Murray, colleague at Sirius XM, used
to do a podcast with our boy t Bob a
Bear before he Christian bailed on all of us. But
Aaron ESPN as well. Aaron does a lot of ninety
seven different jobs like all of us.
Speaker 2: Aaron, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Brother? How were doing? Man?
Speaker 1: Just still reeling from our boy tea Bob moving on
from us was so sad. I decided to pull you
the other day and bleach my hair blonde.
Speaker 3: You did.
Speaker 1: For about five hours.
Speaker 3: Ball.
Speaker 1: I was like, this ain't happen, and so back to
my jet black hair. But that's how that's how low
I got with with just not seeing ta bomp and
here and bop every day.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I'm looking now. How do I not
have that picture that you sent ready to go?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: I gotta find I got sent it to Cassie to
put that up there. A little bit later on. I
know our guys in Chicago. I saw and take his
shirt off yesterday at some barstool something. I was like
Oh my gosh, this is like peaked T Bob. He's
been waiting for this moment his entire life.
Speaker 1: He is built for that. And then I saw him
on on the Rome Show do a middle split. Oh dub,
I just yeah, he did a middle split on the
on the Jim Rome Show. So he's just like you said,
peak peak four Right now, he's in his it's perfect
spot where he belongs with with those guys up there barstool.
But I know everyone in Baton Rouge and you and
myself will be uh, we'll get missing it, especially come
football season and those those late night whiskey shows as well.
Before he does the late night Snap show with me.
Speaker 3: I think that's really air. That's like the one thing
people like. They were sad that he left the morning show.
I'm sure they were sad that he left Snaps, but
like for me, I kept getting, well, who's going to
replace the drunk idiot on Whiskey and Wine? I'm like,
hold up, which one are you talking about? Like, oh,
T Bob? Oh okay, Uh, well, actually.
Speaker 1: I mean which one?
Speaker 7: I mean?
Speaker 1: Is the scota happy that he's gone or is he
like sad that that you know he is.
Speaker 3: Drunken people on that show. It's it's kind of what
the show is. And you know, tell him. I'm like, look, no,
T Bob is not an idiot. T Bob's very smart. Nos,
exactly what he's doing, but like big personality, I mean,
this is a man who wants humpted an inflatable pig
on that show.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I mean I will say this and
then we'll get off to te bom brand here shortly
as we continue to mourn our our our lost brother here.
And you've worked with him longer than I am. But
I tell people all the time, like, yeah, you may
see that person, but T Bob is brilliant. Bob obviously
played the game at a high level. His father played
the game at the highest levels. I think T Bob
is going to just mop the floor with the guys
at barstool because.
Speaker 3: I think he is.
Speaker 1: I think he is funnier, if not funnier than those guys.
I think he has personality bigger than saying Brandon, and
he knows football way more than those guys, you know,
and as guys in critically of playing the game, so
like he is those guys, I think funnier, smarter, and
actually played the damn game. So I think he is
going to absolutely run shop there at barstools. Try to
see what he does on the next you know, next year.
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I can't wait.
Speaker 2: My man, You're right, that's a great point.
Speaker 3: Like he he's as funny as those guys, bigger person
out Andy does no football like he actually knows the game.
He knows the x's and knows and yeah, he's going
to be a big asset for barstool. So uh speaking, well, yeah,
let's transition this way. Speaking of people who have famous fathers,
Let's go to arch Manning, because my man, you made
a comment about arch Maning, and you know, if he
was as good as we think he's going to be,
wouldn't he have played over Quinn yours who was a
seventh round pick Aaron like on channel eighty four, Like
this is like one of the like rejoins, like it
is a commercial on channel eight four overall serious XM.
I know it is on three seventy four as well.
Dusty and Danny were breaking it down the other day.
They asked us to break it down the other day.
I mean, you caught fire and I'll let you kind
of tell the people what you said and what you
thought maybe about Arch Manning going into this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it got a little bit overblown. I
kind of said this during the show too, when I
was with Daria. I was like, listen, I played the position,
played it in the SEC at Georgia. I understand how
difficult it is. Hell, it's more difficult nowadays, you know,
with Nil and the expectations and the money than you.
Obviously him being in Banning that throws another layer onto
it as well. I hope all these guys have success.
Like I will never wish ill on any quarterback. I
mean that includes the quarterbacks at Auburn and Florida. Like
you know what, I guess said. I've been there, I
get it. I hope everyone has success and lives out
in their dreams. I was just I'm not set up
of the hype. I just think it's silly that we
are crowning all the the pia off season. I know
a lot of it's click bait, and they want to
you know, people want to get out there. They're like, oh,
Arch Maya is, give me the number one picking the
NFL draft next year. He's even the first quarterback taking
off the board, Like, have you watched the tape? Like,
what have you watched ye from his tape a year
ago that screens that he's the number one future pick
in the NFL draft, or that he's a top ten
quarterback in college football right now. You know, I just
because he can run, I think he is I think
he has good arm strength. I don't think it's elite.
I think he is a really good athlete. I wouldn't
say he's Lamar Jackson back there, but the great plays
that he made were against lesser competition. You know, David
versus Georgia wasn't anything special. So like, let me see
it before I crowned him once again. I'm not saying
that he doesn't have the ability to one day be
a number one pick in the NFL draft, or that
he may not be a top ten quarterback in college
football next year. I said the same thing about Nico
year ago. You're heading into the season, everyone was all
hyped up on Nico. Nico, Nico, Nico Nico to the
top ten quarterback. N go gos, give him be one
of the best quarterbacks in the SEC. I'm like, you
know what, he he has the tools he's six five,
six six, he's got a good arm, he's athletic, he's
in a very quarterback from the offense. But I haven't
seen it. I'm not going to tell you that this
kid's going to be the top ten quarterbacks in college
football before he's played legit of it snaps and big
time football games. And you know, we saw Nico have
some good moments. We saw Nico have some bad moments,
and it being just I would say the average year,
and I'm hoping Arch doesn't have that kind of season.
But until he goes out there and plays big time football,
we're gonna see it in week one and does it
consistently week in and week out. I'm sorry, I'm not
going to crown someone just because his last thing is
Manning and just because he's athletic, so I chiff him
and kind of go to the central pick too. I
do think that is a question mark Texas last year.
I know you probably agree with this was one of
the best, one of the best rosters in America. I
would say top two, top three rosters in America. What
held him back? Look like it was Quinn yours and
if Arch Manning was trully if everyone believes that he
is the number one picking NFL draft next season, not
two years from now, not three years from now, but
next year, he would have been playing because Sark is
not going to waste a roster like that. If the
reason why they were not had a successful offense he
was because of Quinn. He was not going to waste
that offense and that roster her if he knew that
the guy behind him was was better. So I think
all that together is just like, let's pump the brakes
a little Bit's all I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3: No, And look, it is a fair question, and it
is something like I do think Archie is going to
be good. I think he's going to develop and he'll
turn into a very good starting quarterback. But it's almost
like some of these lists that come out and it's
a top five, top ten quarterbacks in the country, it's
kind of disrespectful because I'm like, wait a minute, Like,
did y'all watch the Little North Settlers last year? DJ Lagway,
Garrett Nssmeyer, John Mattier. That's just in the sec Like
That's the part that is wild to me, is like
assuming that year one of arch Mating is going to
be better than year two. Of all of those quarterbacks
who thrived in year one and I think are going
to be even better in year number two.
Speaker 1: I takes one hundred percent of those guys have played
big time games. They played at a high level, you know.
I mean, we can go down the list of this
SEC quarterback setting into this season, and once again, like
I don't know if he would be in my top
five or six or seven. I think this league right
now is it's deep, it's talented, it's experienced, and like
I always said, I think he'd be kind of there
in the middle of the pack, and if you have
a chance, obviously move up one hundred percent. But you know,
I love your guy. I love Garret Nussmarer. I know
everyone in the country's kind of high at him. I'm
I'm I believe in the hype. I think he is
a talent around him at the receiving position. You know,
Lsu honestly is one of my sleepers this year to
be a contender in the SEC and win the SEC
because of the talent around him. Because I believe in
on defense is going to get that defense right. So
I think nust Meyer is gonna have a great year. Lenoris.
You talk about him in the year that he's gonna
have a year two. You know, the guy that I
think is the most talented in this league. That's behind
Arch Manning, that played more games last year, that played
being full games now, I think is physically more gifted
than Arch's. DJ Lagway Florida. I think DJ Legway is
the most gifted quarterback in this league. He's got the size,
he's got the arms, strength, he's got the athleticism. I
think a year two is a starting quarterback. You're really
going to see him take that next step in the
right direction. Obviously Matier at Oklahoma, just go watch the
tape of him from Washington State. How talented that quarterback is.
I mean, it's a really good year. I think Jackson
Arnold think at Auburn last year, you know, going to
go back to Oklahoma, I thought, there are some really
good things I saw from Jackson Arnold, and then he
doesn't have any of his receivers, has a terrible offensive line,
and obviously we blame the quarterback. That's a talented quarterback
that now goes to Auburn with Hugh Freeze with maybe
the most talented receiving corps in the SEC. I think
he has an opportunity to have a big season. I mean,
the list goes on and on and on and on
and on. So once again, like Art's got to prove
it to me. There's a lot of good quarterbacks just
in the SEC alone this year.
Speaker 3: You know who? Yeah, you know who doesn't get themselves
put into this conversation and I'm guilty of it as
well as Diego Pavia coming back in Vaderbelt. Like, I
know he's not like an NFL quarterback, and I know
the skill set is not like a pro skill set,
but I tell you what, man, I want that guy
on my team every single Saturday.
Speaker 2: And that's a guy that's coming back with all of
his weapons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had I had Diego twice, Sush I had
them for South Carolina. It wasn't his finest one, and
Lenora's kind of that's when Leonori's and stuff kind of
are really rolling. But then I had them in the
bowl game and getting ready for the bowl game versus
Georgia Tech, I was like, man, Georgia Tech, especially after
a quarterback matchup, Oh, I know just that I love
their quarterback too. I was like you know, I think
Georgia Tech is probably gonna win this game. You know,
obviously I can't say that before whatever, but you know,
just kind of gut feeling watching the tape and that,
you know, kind of where those two teams are training,
and then the se Diego play the way he did
in that Bowl game and obviously the way he played
the entire seasons, especially in that Bowl game. Of like, man,
you talk about a kid that's super excited that he
has opportunity to come back gritty. I think the big
thing is, like like you said, like he's Vanderbilt is
not going to be in in the conversation for SEC championship.
They're not going to be in a conversation for the playoffs.
He's not going to be an NFL quarterback where you know,
we keep bringing back to the arts, but Texas will
be in the conversation. Texas once again is going to be,
you know, one of the most talented rosters in America.
It's an incredible offense. I still believe Steve Sharkisian is
the best and not one of the top two or
three along with Lane you know, play colors in America.
He's gonna put the stats, he's gonna have a good season.
So I think you know which one would I take
right now? I would probably still bet a little bit
of arts, because you know, that's that just the kind
of offense I would run in kind of the quarterback.
I would like a guy that's a little bit more
consistent though in the football. But I'm with to you, man.
I know you as a meathead love Diego the way
he plays, but anyone who loves football has to appreciate
the way Papa goes up there week in and week out,
and you know kind of wills the commodore's the victory
at times.
Speaker 2: No, I certainly do.
Speaker 3: In fact, before I ask you about the college football playoff,
I need a little help. So we have thirteen days
to turn in our All Meathead team that we do
for the Field Steel magazine, and it's me EJ and
Bobby and we are taking nominations and so right now,
full disclosure, the leader in the clubhouse for QB one
on the All Meathead team is Haines King from Georgia Tech.
Do you have somebody else you want to put up
to be a nominee?
Speaker 1: Ooh, I mean, I what about with Diego? I think
I think part of that meathead mentality has to be
a little bit of that leadership factor as well. You know,
can you be that guy that rallies everyone in the
off he's in the weight room. On the field, I mean,
Diego was bang the crap the entire season. I mean,
his body was you know, most people would have been
not playing limpdin hurting. You know, that dude would get
knocked out and and be you know, on the sideline
begging his coach to get back in the very next
play as soon as you know, he had to take
that playoff. I mean, that's the type of player that
he is. And I love Haynes King. I thought Haines
made some incredible strikes a year ago, especially throwing the
football and just his technique overall. Expetas see what he
can do this year again. But you know, Diego is
just such a warrior and and and you have to
understand that, you know, you know this, but that roster
is nowhere near any other roster in the SEC. And
that team beat Alabama, that team made it to a
bowl game. Georgia Tech has a good roster and they're
building a pretty good program there. I love their head coach.
And plus they're you know, they're in the ACC. They're
on the SEC. So you can't tell me the quarterback
for Vanderbilt in that league that plays the way he plays,
that beat Alabama, that led him to a bowl game,
that let him to a victory in that bowl game.
It can't be on that meathead that list when it
comes out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just took a shot at Jimbo Fisher for
the way he teaches quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Had to throw with Haines King there.
Speaker 3: I caught that, Aaron, you now full of me, But
we don't have time to spend on that. I got
to ask you real quick. Twelve team playoff now going
to be seated one through twelve. It's no longer going
to be like it was where conference champions get the
top seeds and Notre Dame now can actually get a
top four seed. How do you feel about that? I
like it.
Speaker 1: You know it should be like that. I think it
should be the best four teams in America get an
opportunity to get that buy. You know, you go back
and look at the way it would have been seated
a year ago. You know, I think that first round,
those first round games probably would have been a little
bit more competitive, a little bit more exciting, and yeah, yeah,
that's the way it should be. You know, you want
every round to be exciting. And I know the NFL
even struggles with first round games and those are not
really being close if you look at you know, the
past few seasons in that league. But yeah, we want,
we want to be entertained. I love the playoffs. I
love the extended playoffs. I love more football. I think
you know, I said it from the beginning. It's gonna
make the regular season more entertaining. It's gonna make October
and November more meaningful. I thought it did that in
year one. It delivered. You know, the playoff wasn't as exciting,
especially that round one. So hopefully this change does make
those games closer. Like I said, if you look at that,
what the games would have been a year ago, I
do think it would have gotten two, if not three
competitive games in that first round to really kick off
the new era of college football.
Speaker 3: All right, Aaron, last thing before we let you go,
and we appreciate the time, sir. I am going to
put up a picture maybe of you with highlights and
me with highlights, and we're gonna see who war better?
Are you okay with that?
Speaker 1: I am okay with it. Like I said, it lasted
all of three hours and I got home in my
life like yet now, well, I mean I told the
barber was like trying to get this thing. It's summertime highlights,
and like, yeah, show her some pictures. It was more
like brown, like very minimal difference.
Speaker 3: You got dark hair, tough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and well they did it more like blonde. So
the blonde and black combination just did not really flow
too well. So now I'm in the awkward situation of
do you want me to find a new barber? You know,
because if I go back, you know, I did something
different souse that hurt their feelings, it's gonna be awkward.
Did it ruin our relationships? So if anyone has any device,
please let me know. Do I need to now go
find a new barber to avoid that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think you probably do. But it's okay. I'll
text you and I'll give you my thoughts on that.
Speaker 3: Aaron, you're the man. We appreciate your time, great stuff
as always, and we'll catch up again soon.
Speaker 1: Appreciate y'all have a great weekend, all right.

Speaker 3: My god, I have not heard this song in a
long time.
Speaker 4: So when we were in Frisco a couple of weeks.
Speaker 5: Ago, we were at this event and they had a
DJ playing in between the sets and they played this
song and me and Brittany and Hannah the other girl.
Speaker 4: That was with us, she used to work here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were probably the only people in that room
that were like, jam into this song. Everybody's looking at
us like.
Speaker 3: This is what you can hear at the Jumbalaya Festival
later on today, No doubt about it, without question, the
song will be played. Cassie, can you please pull up
the picture of Aaron Murray with his highlights. This was
the other day. Aaron texted T Bob and I and said,
you know something of the effect, because you know your
boy back here used to rock some some highlights back
in two thousand and one, two thousand and two. It
was it was very I'm not sure what my guy
was going on, I know, I mean, he's got the
high and tight you know he's got he's got black hair,
so it's tough to go blonde. And it's so dark
and you gotta leave it on so long it turns
kind of an orange color. I feel pretty confident that
I am going to win. Did I look like Ryan Cabrera?
Speaker 2: Was that name?
Speaker 4: Cabrera?
Speaker 2: Cabrera? Is that name? I think the old singer like that?
Speaker 3: Okay, uh yeah, that had like the real puffy highlight situation,
Like that's kind of what I looked like.
Speaker 2: But I feel comp it in now.
Speaker 4: Okay, yes you should, because what is he doing.
Speaker 5: They're not they're they're a little too chunky, They're not
blonde enough because again, dark hair.
Speaker 4: It's not not the move.
Speaker 7: I'm glad his wife was like no, yeah, I don't
know if he sent that to T and I like
wanted us to be like, dude, we roasted as should.
Speaker 3: He had to go to the grocery store and buy
some uh some hair color, probably to fix it himself.
