How are you well? 25 00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: I'm good, happy Sunday today, my friend. I've needed a 26 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,280 couple extra couples of cups of coffee this morning. Did 27 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,680 not the game to not get over till a quarter 28 00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:43,439 to twelve last night here on the East Coast. I 29 00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:46,159 was up writing till twelve thirty, but made the deadline, 30 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,879 so that was good. You know, if things are clear, 31 00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:57,840 one thing's for certain. Georgia lit up Tennessee last night. 32 00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:01,319 You know, we started out a little bit slow, but 33 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,159 my goodness, that looked like the vintage dogs, and uh, 34 00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:05,519 it was. 35 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: It was. 36 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,599 Speaker 3: It was exciting to watch. Uh it was familiar, I 37 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,199 think for Georgia fans to kind of look and see like, oh, 38 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,000 this is who Georgia is, and this is who Georgia 39 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,960 ken be. And let's be honest, my friend, Tennessee is 40 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,280 who we thought they were. 41 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, they I think that they are. And we we 42 00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:33,479 called it, let's just can we just can we just 43 00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:37,319 bask in the light of our correct predictions for just 44 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,400 a moment. We even said, what's going on with this line? 45 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,639 And this was an opportunity for Dylan Sampson, This was 46 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,919 an opportunity for UH a highly heralded Tennessee defensive front 47 00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:53,360 after what we have seen out of Georgia in weeks 48 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,400 past Ole miss was able to get through the offensive 49 00:02:56,439 --> 00:02:59,560 line of Georgia and get after Carston back and they were 50 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,159 able to I mean the running game coming from the Dogs. 51 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,759 So it seemed like Tennessee had some openings. But but 52 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,560 just had a weird feeling about this matchup that the 53 00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:15,000 line is gonna be right, even though there were so 54 00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:17,479 many questions about it, and we kind of stood on 55 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,120 the fact that Tenant that Georgia would cover, and that 56 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,439 is my take from the game boys. 57 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,319 Speaker 2: Georgia covered. That was it. 58 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: Carson Beck looks more true to form and it didn't 59 00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:33,560 seem to matter that, you know, he doesn't have the 60 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:39,439 elite weapon out there. You're down several running backs. There 61 00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:43,080 are injuries. Galore Kirby mentioned if he mentioned it once, 62 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,080 he mentioned it three or four times in his postgame 63 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,439 presser that injuries are problem, that the schedule is a gaultlet, 64 00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,680 that people don't understand the rigor of the SEC schedule, 65 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,560 and that they're lose players. And we'll go back and 66 00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:59,879 reference to transfer portal here and say that because of 67 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:03,919 lack of depth on all rosters, including the quote unquote 68 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,479 elite teams, there is a problem when you experience multiple injuries, 69 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,199 especially at one position, because now you've gotten to not 70 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,039 your third string four star freshmen that maybe is going 71 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,040 in a little too early but still has the talent. 72 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,399 But you may be looking at some guys that were 73 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:23,399 destined for Scout team for their entire career now making 74 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:26,879 appearances in key moments in SEC matchups, swarts the end 75 00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:28,959 of the year. That's the reality of college football with 76 00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:32,439 the transfer portal, and Kirby also mentioned that roster sizes 77 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:34,800 are shrinking soon and so that'll be something to watch 78 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,800 as well to see how teams are able to hold 79 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:41,079 up throughout the duration of a season like this. Nonetheless, 80 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,399 the Dogs stay alive and they make Tennessee yet another 81 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,360 two loss SEC team added to the discussion of who 82 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,040 is in the allge Football playoffs. 83 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think if you look at that game, 84 00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:58,319 you know, you talk about resiliency, talk about injuries. You know, 85 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,120 Carson Beck, you know, we had some joke. We had 86 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,319 some fun last week with MBG. We were talking about 87 00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:07,000 the Cavendar twins and maybe on Carson's vind more than 88 00:05:07,079 --> 00:05:10,040 what the playbook was. But you know, Carson showed up. 89 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,279 You know, he once again, I love Bobo taking that 90 00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:18,319 deep shot that first played the game to Arion Smith 91 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,319 and you know, Smith, God love him. But I don't know. 92 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:26,040 I think he had three or four droughts last night. 93 00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:29,079 But again, it's those opportunities to really kind of take 94 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,199 the top off. Early Smith drops it. You know, Georgia 95 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,639 goes down early ten to nothing, and you know, the 96 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,639 first three possessions they're punting, but then all of a sudden, 97 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,959 Back starts to cook. You know, he hits, he gets 98 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,399 that big pass early on or you know late late 99 00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:51,480 late in the first quarter, and you know George is 100 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,839 kind of off and running. And what I saw from 101 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,639 Carson last night more importantly, you know, first and foremost, 102 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,480 he had big plays. He had seven throws of over 103 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,079 twenty yards to six different receivers. His top threat, the 104 00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:07,120 one that was supposed to be the X factor against Tennessee, 105 00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:09,879 Dylan Bell goes out with with with a likely high 106 00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:12,759 ankle spring. So you know, we're starting to see guys 107 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,160 like like Nitel Tuggle starting starting to come in. But 108 00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:19,360 what Beck did is he kept throwing and he kept going. 109 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,439 You know Fraser, Fraser was hurt at running back. So 110 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,680 what does Beck do. He starts moving, moving, moving the 111 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,399 pocket with his feet, He starts making big runs. He 112 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,160 threw a big shoulder I think early early in that 113 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,600 first half, you know, put his shoulder in for a 114 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,879 first down, and you know it was real excited. And 115 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,600 what you saw from Carson Beck last night, and what 116 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,959 you saw from Georgia as a whole, is they fed 117 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,240 off of Sanfords Stadium. And if this is, you know what, 118 00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:49,439 not more of a reason for why we need to 119 00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:53,120 get rid of these neutral site games. Sanford Stadium was electric. 120 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,000 I know Colombia was rocking last night for your game, Cocks, 121 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:02,199 but stop playing in these boring ass NFL stadiums. Come 122 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,959 to the college, these college campuses and you have these 123 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000 heavyweight fights. They all black in the crowd, the student 124 00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:13,279 section getting there an hour and a half before the game, 125 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,560 you know, really starting to rock. Georgia just comes in 126 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,040 and takes care of business. You know, they come up 127 00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:23,000 fourteen to ten tennessee fights right back. They go in 128 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:29,120 a nice swell play drive, go fencing. You know, they 129 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,240 get the ball of two minutes left, the meticulated all 130 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,439 the way down the hi at seventeen Tennessee gets the 131 00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:38,519 ball back, they force a punt. Georgia responds by scoring 132 00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:42,319 another touchdown to go up and continue. So what you 133 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,199 see is resilience. What you see is a chip on 134 00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:48,839 their shoulder. Georgia likes to be counted out. 135 00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:49,639 Speaker 2: You know. 136 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 3: You almost think it's like Herbie liked losing that game 137 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,480 last week to Lane because you know, and he liked 138 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,600 being that first team out of the College Football Playoff. 139 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,360 He had no love for College Football Committee, saying, you know, 140 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,240 I don't know what they're looking at. He talks about 141 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,079 the grind of SEC But at the end of the day, 142 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,000 Georgia just was was tougher. You know, that game came 143 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,279 down and tought us. Herbie talked about it, and in 144 00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,879 the fourth quarter we had an opportunity and this was 145 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,519 the mistake for Josh Hipel. Dylan Samson had a hell 146 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,120 of a game. He you know, made a number of 147 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,079 big plays. He only had one hundred and one yards, 148 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,879 but I think it was the toughest hundred and one 149 00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:30,519 yards I have seen from him all season. Seemed like 150 00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:34,120 always getting that extra extra, extra first down extending drives. 151 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,840 You know, in Tennessee has a fifteen yard fifteen play drive, 152 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,480 you know, from the third into the fourth quarter, third 153 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,399 and medium, I think it was a third and eight. 154 00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:49,320 Hypel throws the ball, hits off the Tennessee receivers hands. 155 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,279 Hypel now has to punt a fifteen fifteen play drive 156 00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:58,559 comes up nothing. Georgia responds with a with a thirteen 157 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,399 play drive goes nine three yards and puts the exclamation 158 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,320 point on the game. For icing this game away. To me, 159 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,399 this was vintage Georgia. This is what we can see, 160 00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:12,840 and here's the deal. I have been super critical of 161 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,480 Georgia this year because this is not the team that 162 00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:17,960 we've seen. We have not seen the chip, we have 163 00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:21,600 not seen the edge. If Georgia plays like this going out, 164 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:27,039 they have six games, I believe, and they'll be hoisting 165 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,440 the national championship. But if they play with their food 166 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,080 against Georgia Tech in two weeks, they're on the outside 167 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,480 looking in. 168 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it really does come down to consistency. 169 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: You mentioned Mike Bobo, and I've always liked Mike Bobo, 170 00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:43,440 and I think he's a great offensive coordinator. He gets 171 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,600 a lot of heat in Athens, and he's just been 172 00:09:45,639 --> 00:09:50,159 a punching bag over multiple tenures there for the Dogs. 173 00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:52,759 But he and Carson Beck both showed up last night, 174 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,080 and even though the deep shot didn't connect in the 175 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,919 beginning of the game, it communicates to Tennessee, we're coming 176 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:58,240 for you. 177 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: Yep, We're coming for And I do think that the 178 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,440 environment matters. You know. 179 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,919 Speaker 1: I wrote down a quote from Kirby where he says, 180 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,200 when I talk to people who actually know football, they 181 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,960 know how hard it is to play in that type 182 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:10,639 of environment. 183 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,519 Speaker 3: And so however, we he talking about rop doesn't know football. 184 00:10:14,759 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, so a shot at the at. 185 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: The naysayers that environment doesn't matter. 186 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: And you know, maybe that Georgia's environment isn't all that either. 187 00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:31,559 But let's slip it over to Tennessee because I think 188 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,799 coming into this game, the expectation was Tennessee's offense has 189 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,000 some trouble getting it going. You need to lean on 190 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,440 Dylan Sampson. If Nico can be accurate with the football, 191 00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:43,600 then their offense can hume. 192 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,159 Speaker 2: But we just haven't seen that unless they're playing a cupcake. 193 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,399 But on the other side of the football. 194 00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: Their defense has been fairly dominant over the course of 195 00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:53,000 the year, had not given up more than twenty points 196 00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:56,360 all year that were really hanging their hat on that statistic, yep, 197 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,440 And you kind of see that go out the window 198 00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:04,240 there in the third quarter. So what was it if 199 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,519 you if you flip your perspective and we're looking at 200 00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:11,080 the vaults, yep, what what is the one key factor 201 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,120 that calls their defense to have problems? If I'm looking 202 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:15,200 at it, it's it's, honestly, as Carson Back's legs. I 203 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,240 don't think that they were ready for him to improvise 204 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,240 them that way. And quarterbacks that can move tend to 205 00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:24,159 give a lot of problems, especially if it's not a 206 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,360 situation that you really prepared for. I understand that these 207 00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:29,279 are high level college football teams, and so you're going 208 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,039 to prepare for Carson Back to be at his best, 209 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,080 even if the tape tape is showing you. 210 00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: That he has not played his best recently. 211 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,279 Speaker 1: But one factor that perhaps could slip by you because 212 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,279 he doesn't use it as often as maybe I think 213 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,360 he should, is the ability to get out of the 214 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,679 pocket and take off. And if Carson Beck is able 215 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,279 to do that a little more, it alleviates a lot 216 00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:48,159 of the pressure that's coming after him that's pushed him 217 00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:49,919 into some of the mistakes he's made in weeks past. 218 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think you know Tennessee, they're looking 219 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,960 at the receivers they put. They basically put Georgia receivers 220 00:12:00,039 --> 00:12:02,240 out on an island. You know, they were they were 221 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,080 in man covers for the most part, and they challenged 222 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,639 Beck and they also challenged the tight ends to show 223 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,679 up and beat them. And that's exactly why Georgia was 224 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,279 effective against Tennessee's front. They did not look great on 225 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,320 the ground. You know, Nate Frazier had nineteen carries with 226 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,480 only sixty eight yards not not not great, but but 227 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,720 but the truly, truly the difference was Carson Beck had 228 00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:29,639 three big runs for thirty two yards. But it comes 229 00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:34,840 down to Oscar Delp, ben Urasek and Loss and Lucky 230 00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:39,440 just making just enough place and making making those key 231 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,799 receptions to differentiate to extend drives to be able to 232 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,639 be able to go through. But if I'm going to 233 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,600 be if I'm gonna be critical of Tennessee, it's going 234 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,200 to be on Nico. You know, we've talked a lot 235 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,759 about we love his deep ball. You know, he throws 236 00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:57,919 a pretty deep ball, but everything was kind of contained. 237 00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:00,399 You know, he has twenty throws. 238 00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:02,879 Speaker 1: He overthrows his leat ball a lot too, and we 239 00:13:02,919 --> 00:13:04,759 saw that a couple of times last night where maybe 240 00:13:04,759 --> 00:13:05,639 he had a shot. 241 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: And we saw this against Bamba. 242 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he had multiple opportunities and they should have 243 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,519 really beaten Bama way worse than they did, and we 244 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,960 called that out right and six or seven missed opportunities. 245 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,679 He finally hits one and it breaks the game open, 246 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,240 but just kind of sitting and looking at it last night, 247 00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:21,840 you could see him wind up to throw it. Hypel 248 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,879 was to take that shot. The offense is living off 249 00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:26,840 of those types of explosive plays, and the ball is 250 00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:29,879 just not even not even catchable, not even a chance 251 00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:33,480 for a pass interference call. It's just five yards beyond 252 00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:34,879 the receiver and he can't catch it. 253 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: Yep. No, No. You compare the two quarterbacks that lines, 254 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,600 and there's your difference in the ballgame. You know, Carson 255 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,320 went for three point fifty a, two touchdowns and interceptions 256 00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:50,960 on twenty five completions. Nico looks good at first twenty 257 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,360 of thirty three. But the thing that stands out to 258 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,519 you is only one hundred and sixty seven yards receiving 259 00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:00,480 everything was relatively in the game, Yeah, average five yards. 260 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,879 So so to me that that's where I'm going to 261 00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:05,759 you know, get after it. And you know, Kirby did 262 00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,759 a good job. Kirby and Schumann were living, you know, 263 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,840 basically basically paid their rent living in Tennessee's backfield and 264 00:14:14,159 --> 00:14:17,200 really did a good job of pressuring Nico. But again, 265 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,879 where were the shot plays? You know, the Baylor offense 266 00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:22,000 whatever we're calling it now, we're still going to call 267 00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:25,639 it the Baylor offense for which Tennessee runs, we should 268 00:14:25,639 --> 00:14:29,080 have those shots available. And with Samson and Lewis doing 269 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,399 such a good job inside, Georgia had to respect that, 270 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,679 you know, where were those deep shots? And to me, like, again, 271 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,200 that's that's where, that's where, that's where I'm putting fault 272 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,200 on more than even you know, Tennessee's defense. Tennessee defense 273 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,720 played well. But to me that this is a game 274 00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:47,960 that should have been last possession. I texted you that 275 00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:51,120 sometime late in the first half last night. 276 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and I think that that Nico. The question 277 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,720 all week was is health as health as health? Right 278 00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:03,120 out that he's healthy. Yep, you could see it. 279 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:03,799 Speaker 2: He was fine. 280 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: He looked great from just just an ability and into 281 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,679 the game standpoint. 282 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: Here's the deal. 283 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,879 Speaker 1: He's healthy, but he's still average, and there's still a 284 00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:18,480 lot of there's still a lot of freshmen stuff happening. 285 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,320 Uh So, let me use that as a transition point, 286 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:25,120 just as a moment to jump over to Columbia and 287 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,080 reference the the other ranked matches that you had at 288 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,159 the SEC. You have a couple of red shirt freshmen here, 289 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,679 starting one for Tennessee at NKA Yamaliava, and then you 290 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,519 have Lenora Sellers for the game Cocks. The development of 291 00:15:38,559 --> 00:15:43,840 Lenora Sellers has exceeded that of Nico in the red 292 00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:49,399 shirt freshman seasons because not only is Sellers able to 293 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,159 capitalize on the ground, but he is keeping his eyes 294 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,679 down field and being productive through the air, five passing 295 00:15:55,879 --> 00:16:01,720 touchdowns to five different receivers for yesterday in Colombia. And 296 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,679 I know that Missouri has been called fraudulent all throughout 297 00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:07,759 the season, and I would still say that's the case. 298 00:16:08,279 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: I would say that they were not a two. 299 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,279 Speaker 1: Lost team in terms of the eye test, and they 300 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,799 stole one against Oklahoma last week. But for whatever reason, 301 00:16:21,399 --> 00:16:25,840 drink gives the game Cocks fits and Brady Cook coming 302 00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:28,840 back was a bit of a shocker. I don't know 303 00:16:28,879 --> 00:16:32,720 how widely that was known or expected in the coaching circles, 304 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,080 but for us, it. 305 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: Was he's out, he's out, he's out, he's out, he's out, and. 306 00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: Then he was questionable, and then there he is warming, 307 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,360 and then it was a game time decision, and there 308 00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:44,480 he was playing, and he looked very much ready to go. 309 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:49,120 So I do think that that gave Missouri a little 310 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,639 bit of a boost. Credit to them getting up off 311 00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:53,320 the mat, going down twenty one to six in the 312 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,000 first half, everything going right for the game Cocks, and 313 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,399 just field goals for the Missouri Tigers. As you know, 314 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,159 they were kind of able to run the ball and Noel. 315 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:05,799 Noel is back and healthy and was able to get 316 00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:09,799 over one fifty, which has just been an unprecedented act 317 00:17:09,799 --> 00:17:11,759 against his game called defense this year, and to hear 318 00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:14,400 them react to it in their postgame press conference, they 319 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,119 were a little shocked to see those numbers on the 320 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,400 page and upset at the fact that they had allowed 321 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,160 that to happen. But Missouri comes storming back, takes a lead, 322 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,440 and this was an instant classic in Columbia with Luther 323 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:30,039 Burdening his doing his thing and showing why he is 324 00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:33,200 one of the elite receivers in the game. He's going 325 00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:35,319 to make a huge difference on the NFL roster next 326 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,200 year right away. 327 00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 2: And he gets it done. 328 00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:42,759 Speaker 1: Brady Cook with an absolute dive of a pass, drops 329 00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:45,319 it in the basket for Burden, and then Burden shakes 330 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,160 the defender and waltzes into the end zone there with 331 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,240 just over a minute to go in the game to 332 00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:53,039 take the lead. They get the two point conversion to 333 00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:55,680 go up by three, and you're looking at the game 334 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,440 colls like they're dead in the water, and Leonora Sellers 335 00:17:58,519 --> 00:18:01,279 does not flinch, comes right back down the field. Big 336 00:18:01,319 --> 00:18:04,839 plays to receivers whose names we have not called very 337 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,480 much all year. You know, Josh Simon is the number 338 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:09,680 one tight end on this team and he's also the 339 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,599 number one receiver, and so he did his thing yesterday 340 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,119 as well. But at the end of the day is 341 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,359 Rocket Sanders who gets the shovel pass from around the 342 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,480 ten yard line and he can't just can't. 343 00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 2: Get him on the ground. 344 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 3: Betweens they can tackle, but that play was so so 345 00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:31,200 damn good, Missouri's got their ears pin backs. About twenty 346 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,000 some seconds ago, they're coming after Sellers and you know 347 00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:37,839 they run that shovel it looks like a screen shovel, 348 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,880 and Rockets still has to uh avoid a couple of 349 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,359 tigers there just before it gets the end zone. Yep, 350 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,279 you know like that, that's a hell of a play call. 351 00:18:46,319 --> 00:18:48,319 We're not just taking a shot, We're not just looking 352 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,519 to try that to throw that back shoulder fade at 353 00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:52,920 the end zone. You're putting the ball in our best 354 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,400 player's hands and we're gonna let him make plays. So 355 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,759 hats off to the game Cocks. You know, I think 356 00:18:57,759 --> 00:18:59,559 it would have been easy. I think we've seen seen 357 00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:02,359 this show before. Game Cocks up twenty one six at 358 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,680 halftime and then all of a sudden you're down three 359 00:19:04,759 --> 00:19:07,839 with like a minute to go, and you know we've 360 00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:10,240 seen him fade in the past. But you know, hats 361 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,960 off to Beamer. You know, we I was critical, maybe 362 00:19:13,079 --> 00:19:16,119 maybe they're early I was wrong segment. I was critical 363 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,480 of Beamer early on and said, you know, is he 364 00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:20,680 the right guy? Is? Are we sure this is right? 365 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,279 But Shane has done a great job and continues to 366 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,680 show that, you know, I think come twenty twenty five, 367 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,559 South Carolina is going to be in the mix and 368 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,160 be interested to see what happens who he takes from 369 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,599 the portal rather than being taken from the offseason. 370 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 2: So the game Cocks have. 371 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: Wafford next week and then they'll finish out against Clinton 372 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,960 and so an opportunity to have a nine win regular 373 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,759 season and cap it off with a double digit season 374 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,799 if they can, if they can win out. Uh, interesting 375 00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:54,519 matchup against Clinton coming in rivalry week, and the implications 376 00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:56,440 will be interesting as well, depending on what happens in 377 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,680 the ACC to see if that game has any playoff 378 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,720 implications as well well, and we'll see, you know, if 379 00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:05,000 if any chaos takes place, what's gonna happen with these 380 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,599 SEC teams? Can I ask this question before I go 381 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,000 to that piece of the conversation. Is Shane Beber the 382 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:10,920 coach of the year in the SEC? 383 00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 2: Right now? 384 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,799 Speaker 3: I think it's I'm right there. I don't. I don't 385 00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:17,519 think I don't. I don't think there's any I think it's. 386 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,799 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's Elko would be your 387 00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:20,519 other one. 388 00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:23,559 Speaker 2: And so we'll have to look and see. We'll have 389 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,400 to look and see what happens. 390 00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:28,519 Speaker 1: We'll see how the season, what happens towards the end 391 00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:30,160 of the year, and if Texas A and M gets 392 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,200 into the playoff, I think you may have to give 393 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,400 him the nod, but we'll we will see how that 394 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,119 shakes out. Let's take a look at that, Craig is. 395 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,559 We now have Texas and Texas A and M with 396 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,599 a huge matchup looming, both with one loss currently, and 397 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:49,279 then you have Georgia Tennessee, Alabama Ole miss All with 398 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,440 two losses, A lot, a lot, a lot. 399 00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:57,319 Speaker 3: Hang on, did you forget somebody? You've been beating the 400 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,279 LSU drum for how long? And where's Luttur buddy Loo? 401 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,279 By the way, But like I thought, I thought Nuts 402 00:21:05,319 --> 00:21:08,359 was gonna be heisman. I thought LSU was there. Like 403 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,480 I don't. I didn't hear you you you say it. 404 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,039 Speaker 1: I wasn't quite ready for the I was wrong segment. 405 00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:18,079 But let's just jump right in. It's time, ladies and gentlemen, 406 00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:22,920 for the most anticipated moment of the week. I was wrong. 407 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,039 I was wrong about LSU. Okay, I I was wrong 408 00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:30,640 about LSU in April. I was wrong about LSU in 409 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,559 the summer. I was wrong about l s U midway 410 00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:37,200 through the season. You know, about halfway through the season, 411 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,319 my preseason predictions were looking fantastic. I picked them to 412 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,359 lose to the USC but then to pick up steam, 413 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,799 and I was feeling like that. 414 00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 2: Was exactly what was happening. 415 00:21:46,319 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: You know, they could not stand up against Marcel Reed 416 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,799 at the end of the tations Ay and M game, 417 00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:55,960 they got absolutely destroyed and every bit of confidence that 418 00:21:56,079 --> 00:21:59,079 was left in the team gone and death Valley on 419 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,000 Saturday night against Tide, and so they come out against 420 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,680 the Florida Gators, who I was wrong part two paying 421 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,039 them to go two and ten this year and expected 422 00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:09,359 it the wheels to fall off. 423 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 2: I expected Napier to be gone mid season. 424 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:15,039 Speaker 1: Strickland doubles down and holds on the Napier and to 425 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,480 his credit. The key thing here about Napier and his 426 00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:23,279 team is that these players clearly love Billy Napier. 427 00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:28,839 Speaker 3: Chase stop they stop, stop stop. I am so tired 428 00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:33,160 of this positive Billy Napier stuff. This weekend. We heard 429 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,880 it from barretts Lee, we heard it probably know, we 430 00:22:36,039 --> 00:22:37,480 just heard it from you. We've heard it from all 431 00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:41,759 these people and talking about Oh well, thank god Strickland 432 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,880 was stuck with Billy Napier. Did we forget that they 433 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,920 just got house last week by Texas, that when they 434 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,960 play serious people and serious teams, that they're just not good? 435 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: Did we forget that? Like, I'm sorry, Like I'm not 436 00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:58,200 here to say that Strickland made the right move. I'm 437 00:22:58,279 --> 00:23:00,880 still out on Billy Napier. I still think he gets 438 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,119 fired next year. And they're still gonna suck, okay, but 439 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,640 it's not gonna be too intense sucked because the players 440 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:13,079 play hard. What I expected was Auburn level of meltdown 441 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,440 in Gainesville. I thought they would quit. In past seasons 442 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,799 when things have not gone their way, We've seen them quit. 443 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,839 We've seen them quit, and I thought they would get 444 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,680 to this point where it was clear that the season 445 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,680 was falling apart. And dude, they got to the point 446 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,400 where they were down to the walk on from Yale 447 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,640 and they didn't quit. Now, they didn't have any ability 448 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,000 to do anything against Texas last week, but they didn't 449 00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:35,319 just lay it down. They still played hard and they 450 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,720 came out this week ready to fight against LSU. And 451 00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:41,240 I think that says something about billion aper Year's ability 452 00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:44,799 to motivate, but that's not enough to do anything in 453 00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,160 the grand scheme of things. 454 00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 3: How do you got how do you feel this week 455 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,519 against the Little Miss? Then you think they're gonna come 456 00:23:50,519 --> 00:23:53,160 out and they're gonna compete. Philly's gonna Billy's gonna give 457 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,000 it the old college drive this week against Old Miss. 458 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,279 Speaker 2: I think they compete in the first half. Do you 459 00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:06,079 think they is? I do think that they compete in 460 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,599 the first half. We've seen Ole Miss do this in 461 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,400 weeks past. 462 00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 3: We also saw drop a bomb on Arkansas, like two 463 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:13,759 weeks ago. 464 00:24:13,839 --> 00:24:17,039 Speaker 1: They did drop in Arkansas. They did that. That is 465 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,000 that is accurate. And we saw them beat up on 466 00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:20,680 Georgia pretty pretty well. 467 00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:23,039 Speaker 3: Really, we're going to bring that up. Come on, I 468 00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:24,000 thought we thought we were moved. 469 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,599 Speaker 1: George is inconsistent, so we have to point out those inconsistencies. 470 00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:30,880 But what but we have seen Ole Miss. We have 471 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,480 seen o Miss play with their food a little bit, 472 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,240 and so yeah, I can see because this game is 473 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,960 in Gainsville, I believe I can. 474 00:24:39,319 --> 00:24:41,799 Speaker 2: I can see the Gators coming out with some fight. 475 00:24:42,519 --> 00:24:45,160 Ye uh, I don't think that they can. They're gonna 476 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:45,599 win the game. 477 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: I just don't think that it's there and Ole Miss 478 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,799 has too much on the line. I don't think that 479 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,880 this Old Miss team is the one that folds under 480 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,279 that type of pressure. If that is the case, they 481 00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:56,680 would have folded against George. 482 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 3: Well maybe maybe in the third quarter. They're gon to 483 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,759 play learning to Fly and it's going to be for Jackson, 484 00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:06,200 Dart and the Rebels about how they are flying, ready 485 00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:07,960 to go into the college podcast. 486 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,799 Speaker 2: Honestly, I was wrong about LSU. I was wrong about 487 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,839 Garrett nuss Meyer. 488 00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 3: What's that biolus sixty million? 489 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,519 Speaker 2: That's not happening. 490 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: But I'm starting to there are some questions about There 491 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,799 are some questions not about Brian Kelly as a coach 492 00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:32,400 for me, not about Brian Kelly's ability to win. None 493 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,119 of that is really coming into play for me. This 494 00:25:34,279 --> 00:25:36,279 is just I think we need to give coaches more time. 495 00:25:36,319 --> 00:25:38,960 I'm all bored with that, and I think that he 496 00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:42,559 has the capability of getting it done in the BAYU 497 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,039 long term. My questions are the same, but not to 498 00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:50,720 the not to the strength that they are on the 499 00:25:50,759 --> 00:25:53,799 planes in Auburn, is that there seems to be some 500 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,640 cracks in the culture, and that concerns me a little bit. 501 00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:58,799 Because you can be a great coach, you can be 502 00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:01,880 a great recruiter, but if you don't create a culture 503 00:26:02,039 --> 00:26:05,200 of winning and ultimately, to go back to Shane Bieber, 504 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,200 a culture where everybody loves each other and wants to 505 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,319 play for each other, especially in the portal era, then 506 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,640 sometimes negativity has the ability to break things down for 507 00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:17,759 your team a lot more before. 508 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,519 Speaker 3: I think that that's fair. And Kelly is getting racked 509 00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:26,119 across the coals on LSU Twitter, everyone taking screenshots of 510 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,480 all the nice things he says to his assistants and 511 00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:31,359 his players. It's taking them told she's totally being over 512 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,519 and there with like a Hugh Freeze. But you know, 513 00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:39,559 the interesting perspective is, though, does LSU get hammered by 514 00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:43,839 the portal in the wrong way? Where you know this 515 00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:47,279 this spins off. This goes from you know, Rob picking 516 00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:51,039 you to be in the SEC Championship game to possibly 517 00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:53,960 losing to Vandy this week, maybe finishing six and six 518 00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:56,359 on the year. I mean, that's just that's not gonna 519 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:56,720 look good. 520 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 2: So that would be absolutely catastrophic. 521 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, And you think that that to 522 00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:04,400 your point and tying it back to what I just said, 523 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,200 if the culture is out there, the portal is going 524 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,720 to wreck you. And that's not just that's not just 525 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,000 an L s U. That's just about anywhere. And so 526 00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:14,680 that that also is my question about Florida because we 527 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,640 we had the question of can they hang on to 528 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,200 key players? What's happening with DJ Lagway. But the fight 529 00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:21,240 that they put up for a billion Napier says to 530 00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:23,920 me that maybe they have some some pride in the 531 00:27:24,079 --> 00:27:24,880 Orange and blue. 532 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,039 Speaker 3: Why is the why is the fight only when they're 533 00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:33,640 at home? Like what goes? I think that that that's 534 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,599 my biggest question. That's something we can't answer here. But 535 00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:40,000 Napier has shown he can he can win with the swamp. 536 00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:43,720 It's when he leaves the swamp that things tend to 537 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:44,960 go sideways. 538 00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, you know there's there's the ias wrong segment Florida. 539 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,039 Speaker 3: So so back to your question. You've got Texas and 540 00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:58,359 Texas A and M the one loss. You've got Georgia, Tennessee, 541 00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:01,599 Alabama and Old miss with two losses. What is your question, 542 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,160 my friend. 543 00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:07,519 Speaker 1: How do you see this shaken out? Because there's so 544 00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:12,720 many scenarios here. You get the matchup between the Texas 545 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:18,119 schools Yep. If Texas A and M loses, we look 546 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,160 at strengthen to schedule. Are they on the outside looking in? 547 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,680 Are they the two loss to team that doesn't get there? 548 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,319 And to be honest with you, we can flip that 549 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,039 statement around. At Texas A and M w wins and 550 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,480 Texas loses, do we look at strength of schedule and 551 00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:34,759 say they're the one on the outside looking in? And 552 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,519 the follow up question is do you really want to 553 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,440 go to the SEC Championship and risk losing that game 554 00:28:43,359 --> 00:28:47,680 being a three loss team and giving the selection committee 555 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,839 an opportunity to say you're out because you have three losses, 556 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,319 even though I would call that ridiculous. 557 00:28:54,039 --> 00:28:56,279 Speaker 3: All right, to answer your two questions, first and foremost, 558 00:28:56,559 --> 00:28:58,519 you're making the same mistake at Texas A and M 559 00:28:58,559 --> 00:29:00,519 and your coach of the Year candidate, Mike Uncle could 560 00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:03,559 be making focusing too much on the game. In College 561 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,200 Station seven thirty Saturday night, they go down to Jordan 562 00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:13,440 Hare at Auburn. Weird stuff happens at Jordan Hare at night. 563 00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:19,799 We talked, but nope, but hang on, hang on. Texas 564 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,680 A and M already did not show up at night. 565 00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:29,319 Two weeks ago, in Colombia, my I need to see. 566 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,839 Speaker 2: So different caliber of teams. 567 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 3: Though it's a different caliber of teams. But Jordan Hare 568 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,680 will be packed, those fans will be lubricated, the waffle 569 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,200 house will be flowing. So I want to So I'm 570 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,759 going to reserve judgment on Texas and in Texas it's a. 571 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,599 Speaker 2: Difference for me. Here's the difference for me, though. You 572 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,680 know in Colombia you have with Lenora sellers who can 573 00:29:50,759 --> 00:29:51,640 shake packers. 574 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,319 Speaker 1: And he he shook off multiple Texas A and M 575 00:29:55,359 --> 00:29:57,000 defenders who hit him in the backfield. 576 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,319 Speaker 2: We really betting on Peyton Thorne to do that? Or 577 00:29:59,359 --> 00:30:01,400 is he going to fall? He's got to crumple like 578 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,799 a wet sack when he gets hit. 579 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,519 Speaker 3: So I read something where this is the first season 580 00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:08,599 that Auburn actually has a thousand yard rusher and a 581 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,599 thousand yard receiver ever in their history, which is wild 582 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,240 with me. But Thorn does have a little bit of shake. 583 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,559 He has shake you you always got one. He has 584 00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:22,880 one in his bag. So I'm gonna I'm gonna reserve judgment. 585 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,079 Speaker 1: Where's coming from? Where is this coming this? Here's your 586 00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:29,359 iurs wrong segment preview? Where is this love for Hugh 587 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,720 freeze in Auburn and the magic of Jordan Hare when 588 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,599 we've talked about how it's dead this year, when their 589 00:30:34,599 --> 00:30:37,000 culture has completely collapsed, and we're calling for him. 590 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 2: To walk away. And I don't know, I don't know where. 591 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,400 I don't know where this belief is coming from. This 592 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,960 is new, this is news to me. 593 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,079 Speaker 3: My belief is my lack of faith in Texas A andem. 594 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,039 I do not believe. I don't believe in them. I 595 00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:59,759 really don't. There it is and that's it like, and. 596 00:31:01,519 --> 00:31:04,039 Speaker 1: So I'm so you would say, then, so you would 597 00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:07,799 say then as we look at Texas, Texas A, and M, Bama, Georgia, Ole, 598 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,720 Miss Tennessee. And if we have to cut one off 599 00:31:10,759 --> 00:31:13,039 the top, we're cutting Texas A and M down to five. 600 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,920 But I still think the problem is going to be 601 00:31:16,279 --> 00:31:18,839 if the committee, if the committee goes four and four, 602 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,960 because the way things shake out in the Big ten, 603 00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:26,720 it comes down to eye test, is really where I 604 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:27,799 think this conversation goes. 605 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,359 Speaker 2: I fletely agree with you. I agree with you it 606 00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:31,240 should be five and three. 607 00:31:31,359 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: I don't trust Ward Manuel and his band of merry 608 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,279 men to get this done in the right way, especially 609 00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:40,279 being a Michigan man and sticking up for the Big ten. 610 00:31:40,759 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 2: I feel like it could easily go. It could easily 611 00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:45,039 go four and four. 612 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,079 Speaker 1: And if that's the case, I'm going to go back 613 00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:48,920 to his quotes about the eye test and when he 614 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,279 says eye test, what he means is explosive offenses. And 615 00:31:52,359 --> 00:31:55,000 so then for me, who's getting left out of the 616 00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:57,319 explosive offense conversation, that. 617 00:31:57,319 --> 00:31:58,319 Speaker 2: Would be the faults. 618 00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 3: Maybe. But here, you know, to answer your second question, 619 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:09,400 when you did ask Courtney our friend from MBG talk 620 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,000 about not wanting to go to the SEC Championship because 621 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:12,599 she didn't want. 622 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: To lose, and she's a Bamograd, she's a. 623 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:23,119 Speaker 3: But here's the deal. Is that the standard Nick Saban said, Oh, 624 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,440 I'm going to avoid Saban always want to go win 625 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,920 the championship. And then when absolutely right, So so go 626 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,480 win the championship. You don't avoid, You go play, and 627 00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:37,960 you go and win the championship. You go take what yours. 628 00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:41,119 That is what it's called a winning culture. So any 629 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,920 team that wants to lose or sit out the SEC Championship, 630 00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:48,279 you're not going to win. You are not a serious team. 631 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,640 You are not you are not in contention. I understand 632 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,960 the logic of, oh my gosh, we have three losses. 633 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,880 Here's the deal. You're the s C, You're the Southeastern Conference. 634 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,920 Even with three losses, your conference loser will probably still 635 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,880 get in the playoff. Okay, so there's your answer. 636 00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 2: Probably, so. 637 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 3: I believe in it. I believe in it. I believe 638 00:33:14,279 --> 00:33:17,240 in it. But here, here, here, here's your prediction. Answer it. 639 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,880 Tex Texas, A and M gets wiped off the map, 640 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,400 and they go dancing their way back to Texas. You know, 641 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,599 they go back to dance no way to the college station. 642 00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:32,839 SEC gets five teams in Georgia, Alabama and Old Miskeet 643 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,480 to host a home game. Tennessee will be on the road. 644 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. What about Texas Texas gets to buy Yeah. 645 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say Texas Texas wins 646 00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:45,720 s championship gets to buy. 647 00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:47,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. I kind of agree with that. 648 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,359 Speaker 1: If I if I'm if, I'm pinned down and I 649 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,200 have to make a prediction. 650 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 2: There's honestly, there's so much up in the air. 651 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: The non SEC game of the week for me was 652 00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:59,559 Kansas and and b y U and I called it 653 00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:02,680 not on this show, but I'll just say, like you 654 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,960 could feel that when coming Kansas was not as bad 655 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,880 as three and six looked, and BYU is not as 656 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,280 good as eight and no looked. 657 00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 2: And so if some chaos can happen over there, and 658 00:34:14,559 --> 00:34:15,920 look out college. 659 00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:19,199 Speaker 1: Game day in Columbus for the Hoosiers and the Buckeyes, 660 00:34:19,599 --> 00:34:22,840 if we can get a little chaos up there, or 661 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,280 if we can get some ACC chaos, it's going to 662 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,719 change the narrative of all these conversations. 663 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 3: I'm right there. So you've got Penn State. 664 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,599 Speaker 1: We can't control any of that, not that we can 665 00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:35,920 even control the SEC, but we have a lot I 666 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,800 feel like better grasp on what's happening in the best 667 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,320 league in college football. 668 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 2: And so that's what we're here to debate. But outside 669 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,000 of the four or five. 670 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,679 Speaker 1: Six worth teams in the SEC, you also have the 671 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,880 chaotic nature of these other leagues, especially the Big twelve 672 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,159 in the ACC, because the parody of all of them 673 00:34:58,199 --> 00:35:04,360 being middle tier team causes it to be absolutely unpredictable 674 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,000 in those leagues. The Big the Big ten seems to 675 00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:09,159 be a little more in place, but Oregon was shaky 676 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:09,800 yesterday as well. 677 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,559 Speaker 3: Can I can I ask you one quick question. Absolutely, 678 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,559 What does your buddy Ward manual do when Oregon loses 679 00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:18,280 their last regular season game to Washington because your boy 680 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,199 Landing can't still beat the Huskies, and then they lose 681 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,199 again to Ohio State. How far does Oregon fall. 682 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,559 Speaker 1: That's a difficult question because then you're gonna have a 683 00:35:28,599 --> 00:35:31,840 win Ana loss against Ohio State, which I think will 684 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,239 balance it out if it was. If it was two 685 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,920 losses without that quality win somewhere in there, you might 686 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:39,719 have to throw them out. 687 00:35:43,639 --> 00:35:46,559 Speaker 3: Robi be crying over his humid door in Sigarlett, Dan, 688 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,199 it was your time. It's a hard time. 689 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: I'm standing on I'm still standing on business. It is 690 00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:57,119 twenty twenty four Big Ten champion, Dan Landing until proven otherwise. 691 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,760 By the way, I'm slow rolling by the beautiful Nashville 692 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,000 Skyline right here next to Nissan Stadium as the Titans 693 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,239 and the Vikings are playing here on Sunday afternoon. If 694 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,639 this eighteen wheeler would move out of the way, Mike 695 00:36:12,639 --> 00:36:16,039 could see Will Levis getting put on his butt once again. 696 00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:18,599 Speaker 3: Go get some hot chicken way there. 697 00:36:19,199 --> 00:36:21,039 Speaker 2: I would love to get some hot chicken while I'm here. 698 00:36:21,039 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: However, the nine hour drive home does not uh does 699 00:36:27,039 --> 00:36:29,760 not allow for me to take any detours except for dinner. 700 00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:32,360 And you know what, just like on my way up, 701 00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:37,119 I think I'm gonna stop in old Rocky Top, Knoxville, check. 702 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,599 Speaker 2: In and see how many tears I. 703 00:36:38,519 --> 00:36:40,599 Speaker 1: Can catch in my cup while I while I stop 704 00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:41,440 for dinner over there. 705 00:36:42,199 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 3: You've got a spot in max Phille. 706 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 2: You like to go, well, we'll see. 707 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,039 Speaker 1: I went fast food on the way up, semi fast food. 708 00:36:50,039 --> 00:36:52,079 Speaker 2: I went with a wing stop stop on the way up. 709 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 3: That's okay, and I sat out. 710 00:36:58,039 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: Uh, the hickory smoked barbecue.

I like to 713 00:37:05,199 --> 00:37:06,800 turn the heat up. If I was to stop and 714 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,599 get to Nashville Hot Chicken right now, I usually go 715 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,840 like one step under the hottest thing that they have. 716 00:37:13,159 --> 00:37:15,280 I'm not trying to kill kill myself out here, but 717 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,360 I do appreciate the heat. 718 00:37:17,639 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 2: Surprisingly, Nissan Stadium is very full. 719 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,679 Speaker 1: I can see the upper deck and the Titans are 720 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:22,679 absolutely terrible. 721 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 3: That's just would you would you know more about this 722 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:26,760 than I would? 723 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 1: That is just shocking. It is I mean, it is slammed. 724 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:36,239 That's that's insane anyway. All right, So we've covered last 725 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,480 week's games, we've talked about I was wrong. Now it's 726 00:37:39,519 --> 00:37:42,800 time to look at next week. What's the biggest what's 727 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,320 the biggest game that you're watching on next week's slate? 728 00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:48,639 Speaker 3: Biggest game besides you Mass in Georgia. 729 00:37:50,599 --> 00:37:52,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that we're safe to count that one out. 730 00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 3: Okay, I am interested in l s U and Vanderbilt. 731 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,360 I want to see if so that's goin to a 732 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:06,840 Tiger stadium. You know, I think these are gonna be 733 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,920 the two interests. So my quadbox is going to be 734 00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:13,000 Texas and Texas A and M Auburn, Vanderbilt, LSU and 735 00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:15,119 doesn't really matter. So those those are my eyes are 736 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,239 I'm interested to see what does LSU do to respond? 737 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,639 Are they still do they still have a pulse? And 738 00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:26,679 here's the other question. I think, uh PAVIA has faded 739 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,840 a little bit with Vandy. Does Vandy have any magic left? 740 00:38:30,119 --> 00:38:34,559 Because I think the hot seat is very very interesting. 741 00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:39,440 Should Vandy go down to LSU and win anything? 742 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 2: For you? 743 00:38:40,679 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do agree with you. That one's really interesting. 744 00:38:43,039 --> 00:38:47,320 We have seen the trouble with running quarterbacks or LSU. 745 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,840 I think for me it's Florida and ole Miss because 746 00:38:52,039 --> 00:38:55,239 with our affinity for ole Miss this season and riding 747 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,159 the momentum of the Lane train and my picks for 748 00:38:59,199 --> 00:39:01,559 Florida to fallow up part there's you know, there's really 749 00:39:01,599 --> 00:39:04,920 one last ditch effort to break the Gators, and that 750 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000 is in the hands of Jackson, Dart and company. So 751 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,360 I'll be interested to see, not that I'm not that 752 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,599 I'm really pulling for that, but I'm just seeing if 753 00:39:12,639 --> 00:39:15,920 my if my predictions will be true. And on the 754 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,760 flip side, just like I said, I think there's some 755 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,000 fight left in Gainesville. 756 00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 2: This cannot be. 757 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: A play with your food game for the Rebels because 758 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,559 you you still may need some style points. All these 759 00:39:27,559 --> 00:39:29,760 two loss teams need to do what they can do 760 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,880 to impress the committee with what the eye test if 761 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,000 it could come down to that. 762 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,519 Speaker 3: So speaking of eye tests, we've got one more seven 763 00:39:38,599 --> 00:39:40,800 thirty game. We got three seventh Why do we have 764 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,679 three of the three seven thirty games that SEC come on? 765 00:39:43,679 --> 00:39:46,000 We got to bounce that better, Disney, get someone, get 766 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,039 out of the mouse, call them. How many points is 767 00:39:48,039 --> 00:39:53,239 that Obama gonna beat Oklahoma by? Is that a thirty 768 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,000 five point game. 769 00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:56,559 Speaker 1: I don't think it's quite thirty five. I still believe 770 00:39:56,599 --> 00:39:59,880 in Oklahoma's defense. The problem with Oklahoma's defense two. 771 00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 2: They're often man. 772 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,320 Speaker 1: Their offense just puts them in such terrible positions that 773 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,159 they inevitably break down. Because I think that they're talented. 774 00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:12,159 I think Brent Vintibles is a good defensive coach. But 775 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,679 it's just over the course of time, over the course 776 00:40:15,679 --> 00:40:18,639 of the game, they get put in back on the field, 777 00:40:18,679 --> 00:40:20,400 back on the field, back on the field, turnover in 778 00:40:20,519 --> 00:40:23,840 short yardage, like it's difficult for them to keep the 779 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,920 other team from scoring a lot. I'm gonna go, like, 780 00:40:27,039 --> 00:40:31,079 maybe maybe closer to twenty twenty four, twenty four point game. 781 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,119 Speaker 2: No more. 782 00:40:32,119 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 3: Where I'm at, No forty two to seven. You heard 783 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:35,760 it here? 784 00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:44,119 Speaker 2: I was right, Okay, we'll see what happens, all right. 785 00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:46,119 Speaker 3: What do you got for last word? 786 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: So the last word is about Christmas trees because it 787 00:40:51,039 --> 00:40:53,280 is the Christmas season, it is time prior to last word. 788 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,079 And I want to know, Craig for you, is it 789 00:40:56,079 --> 00:40:57,960 a fake tree or real tree? I heard you were 790 00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:58,679 putting your tree up. 791 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 3: I did put my today and unfortunately today we got 792 00:41:04,519 --> 00:41:08,679 a plastic tree, a fake tree. I am a big 793 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:13,760 fraser Fur guy, but little one has allergies. So we 794 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,119 had to go and made the dad call to say, yes, 795 00:41:17,159 --> 00:41:18,920 we will get a plastic tree. So we have a 796 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,559 fake tree. But you know what, we went to add home. 797 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,119 We got a nice deal on it. Originally got the 798 00:41:24,199 --> 00:41:26,840 nine and a half footer, ended up being too tall, 799 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,960 was hit the ceiling. So this morning I went back, 800 00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:31,079 got the seven and a half footer all set up 801 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,239 and it looks gorgeous. But I'm gonna be honest, Rob, 802 00:41:34,679 --> 00:41:37,440 there's a little tear in my eye because I do 803 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,599 love my real tree, the Fraser Fur. 804 00:41:40,199 --> 00:41:42,519 Speaker 1: I agree a Fraser Fer all the way. I love 805 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,400 a real tree, love a real tree. We get a 806 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,639 real tree every year, so I just not up yet. 807 00:41:48,599 --> 00:41:50,840 But I'm the one fighting for the real tree in 808 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,159 our house and we'll continue to do so. I think 809 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,199 I've got one time to if I'm the snake in it, 810 00:41:55,639 --> 00:41:58,159 and that's going to really do me in on getting 811 00:41:58,199 --> 00:41:59,119 the real tree every year. 812 00:41:59,159 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 2: It is a lot of work. 813 00:42:03,079 --> 00:42:04,599 Speaker 3: Did you ever go cut it down yourself? 814 00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:06,639 Speaker 2: We do go cut it down ourselves. 815 00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:10,039 Speaker 1: And so the problem with that is is the stand 816 00:42:10,079 --> 00:42:12,119 and the balance. I came home a few years ago 817 00:42:12,159 --> 00:42:15,400 and it had flipped over, spilled water everywhere, ornaments all 818 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,559 over the place. I was home alone, so I stood 819 00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:20,480 it back up, cleaned up the mask, got the ornaments 820 00:42:20,519 --> 00:42:23,559 back on. But I realized once I got it back 821 00:42:23,639 --> 00:42:27,800 up that I had to get it back on to 822 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,159 the stand, on to the point of the stand. 823 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,119 Speaker 2: And I couldn't do that without putting it back down. 824 00:42:32,159 --> 00:42:34,599 Speaker 1: And so I just stood there for ten minutes, trapped 825 00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:37,239 under the tree because I was home alone, thinking of 826 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,159 a way, and I couldn't figure it out, and ultimately 827 00:42:39,159 --> 00:42:42,440 had to respill the water and the ornaments and lay 828 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,719 it back down to balance it and then go back 829 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,199 and fix it in the right order. 830 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,119 Speaker 2: So the tree, the tree gives me. 831 00:42:50,039 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 1: Some problems, but at least it's not on fire like 832 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,039 Uncle Lewis has been at my house, so we'll try 833 00:42:56,079 --> 00:42:58,519 to stay away from that, all right, everybody, this has 834 00:42:58,559 --> 00:43:00,880 been it just mean it's more football and coffee. I'm 835 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,320 Rob Williams, He's Craig McMichael. We will see you next time. 836 00:43:06,639 --> 00:43:08,159 Speaker 3: Enjoy drive home, Robbie 837 00:43:11,199 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 2: H
