Speaker 1: I'll start to you to presents.
Speaker 2: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Bob aberf the bitch.
Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 3: What'll welcome in two hour number three of oh TV
for the first time in a couple of weeks. In
his time, there's some champagne shenanigans as Rivery Chewey is
officially no longer suspended.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, Jacob Hester's never looked better.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to show. I know it's the Internet is
screened up. It keeps freezing and jumping and skipping. But
he looks like an actor. He looks very uh thesbian today.
Speaker 4: I want to know he was here. I was looking
at myself.
Speaker 3: I completely completely did not understand the joke there. Uh
to be fair, we are not to be fair. To
be clear, this hour is going to be complete nonsense.
So if you are here for more sports talk, we
may stumble into some of that, no doubt about it,
with so many playoffs on the horizon and whatnot. But
really this is what we're going to crack open this year.
Bottle of champagne. What do we have here today? So
not technically champagne, some sparkling wine from Italy. All right, cool,
let's do it and we're going to talk about whatever
the hell comes into our.
Speaker 4: Mind really quick.
Speaker 5: It's not a spot and I know you're not going
to do it because you like to shoot the cork.
Now learned that the proper way. Do you know the
proper way to open a bottle of champagne sparkling? Yes,
you're supposed to turn the bottle.
Speaker 3: Oh, turn the bottle. Okay, it seems a little bit spot. No, No,
I was gonna say it seems like a little pretentious
and that functionally turning the cork in the bottle or
the exact same thing. But uh but sure, whatever you
say to you, you would supposed us. So for those
who don't know, yes, Rivers finally off of suspension. Welcome back.
But also Rivers work.
Speaker 4: What was I suspended for this time?
Speaker 3: I don't know. You tell me, I don't know. I
didn't get suspended. You did. But Rivers works here now she.
Speaker 4: Is up and she always.
Speaker 3: To lead at Louisiana Sports dot Net. They're doing a
great job. It's a very good if you all don't
check it out, I've been telling you about it. We're
doing our Hunt Palmer Player portal series. But yeah, how's
your first week back at Guaranteed Media been?
Speaker 4: It has actually been really fun.
Speaker 5: I've enjoyed being here with you guys during the day,
which I don't get to.
Speaker 6: Do a lot of.
Speaker 5: And it's been sort of hectic with the Saints' coaching search. Yeah,
I feel mostly bad for Ross Jackson, our Saints writer.
He is just drowning over there in in tweets about
potential interviews they interview. But we do, actually we do
have a coaching tracker whoa so oh oh, I felt
like you might have broken that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an impressive snip.
Speaker 4: Was a goner.
Speaker 3: That's an impressive snipe. That's a small target. It's hell, Yeah,
what is.
Speaker 4: Jake not coming on?
Speaker 3: I don't think that ended the call.
Speaker 6: He might come back and like the next segment.
Speaker 4: We'll see. Yeah. No, it's been great. It's been fun.
Speaker 5: So I've worked with Ross Jackson and Hunt obviously is
our our l s U guy. And then we've got
Chris Marler who's in South Carolina. He's writing about SEC stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're and they're doing great and the team's
only going to get bigger and better. Are y'all pulling
putting a call out to other writers right now? Like
what if somebody's listening, They're like, you know, I want
to write and I love covering sports, and I'd love
to cover l s U or the Pelicans or something
like that. It is a Louisiana sports I mean, our
our ultimate goal would be to cover all sports in
all of Louisiana.
Speaker 5: So that would go from high school to every university
in Louisiana. Obviously we don't have a Pelicans writer right now,
but yea include the Pelicans in there all sports.
Speaker 4: I mean, we want to do all of that.
Speaker 3: It just is how would they get in touch with
you if they if they wanted to? Over time?
Speaker 5: Okay, over time it's probably gonna be a mat question,
but I'll give you. My email is Rivers dot hueye
at guarantemedia dot com. There you go, or most of you,
you know, just reach out to me on social media.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we are open.
Speaker 5: We are building this thing, and it's kind of one
of those things you don't know what you need until
you need it, and so we're gonna.
Speaker 4: Throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and see
if it sticks.
Speaker 3: Uh, the what was what was I going to say?
I'm getting very distracted?
Speaker 4: What did you get? What were you reading?
Speaker 1: In?
Speaker 3: Oh y Calvicalva. It's a do we're gonna talk about
the tweet you just put out? Did you? Mitchell's wild?
I tweeted what I was just talking about during commercial break,
which is, how are you gonna look at a picture
of yourself? Is going to make you want to stuck
on your own hitties because there's so he.
Speaker 5: Was talking about that, and Taylor is setting up my
mic and he walks in and that's all he hears.
But it was funny how our brains did different thing.
He's like Teabub's obviously looking at a picture. He says
that out loud, and Taylor's like, oh God, I don't
want to see whatever it is that tea Bob's looking at.
Speaker 4: When he said that, in.
Speaker 5: My mind, I immediately knew he was talking about himself
or another man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I knew that.
Speaker 5: I didn't even question and I wasn't even like I.
Speaker 4: Wasn't even alarmed.
Speaker 5: Like then he's about to like show me his phone
you know, because I just knew it was like probably him.
Speaker 3: Unlike Jason Whitlock. I'll never make you feel uncomfortable if
you have peanut butter skin or big cans. It's only
if you're a male and your tailor and I and
you know, I just want some of that lego face
of yours. So you got to watch out for a
little bit.
Speaker 6: Is it the no facial hair that does it for you?
Speaker 3: What is it? Yeah? Exactly. Let me look at that.
Zoom in Taylor, if you can really zoom in on
my boobs, I mean it is the the Then, first off,
the amount of side boob in the picture is very disappointing.
This is Spring Game two years ago, and so bad
pose by me, bad shirt, but the shadows under the
side boob is so bad. And then zoom in more
on the nipples enhanced because they are really nippling, aren't
they Look at them little things. It's popped in my Okay,
that's god, that's so bad. That's and then look at
Aaron next, and he's so skinny.
Speaker 5: Tiny look at him.
Speaker 4: Well, quite a photo there.
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah, that can't be real. I know,
nice correction. I mean, look see so nobody can get
mad at me when I make Sam Pittman jokes because
we are one in the same. I am in that
club and when you are, you can you can make
those jokes. So shout out to shout out to me
and Sammy p We're having great boobs, you know. Sorry, guys,
don't be jealous of my white roach skin and big
cans a big heavy rack.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, I don't know where to go from here.
Speaker 5: Are you going to be so excited when Kingsbury's the
Saints new coach?
Speaker 3: No, no, we talked about it, I think off air yesterday.
Cliff Kingsbury obviously very attractive man to kind of keep
in theme with this.
Speaker 5: Great value Ryan Gosling, although at this point, well right now,
Ryan Goslin kind of like did a bunch of weird
stuff to his face. So now, but maybe Ryan Gosling
is a great value Cliff Kingsbury.
Speaker 3: Well, have you ever thought about Jared Goff as great value?
Ryan Gospel? Though, because I think it's spotted.
Speaker 4: Off with sunglasses.
Speaker 5: I mean, when when Clet's takes those sunglasses off, it's
not the same. But when he's wearing those ray bands,
he looks just like Ryan Gostling.
Speaker 3: Uh so, I look, I think Cliff is very good looking.
I think, uh there would be some level of excitement
if you had a like number one pick, or you
had a great young quarterback that you believed in and
you wanted to develop. Giving that the Saints have an
absence of both of those things, I don't he didn't do.
He didn't do enough in Arizona for me. I think,
like we talked about, think, he's more.
Speaker 5: You're getting at getting a little too scientists, a leader
of me getting two scientific I like to pick my
NFL head coaches like some people pick their march madness brackets,
you know, by like.
Speaker 3: My mascot vibes.
Speaker 5: I wasn't excited about this search until until I heard
about Cliff.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I mean, but let's be clear, dude, Aaron
Glynn is no slouch. I mean there's a lot of
Zaddy energy is coming out of Yes, he's got the
salt and pepper beard. He's more manly, maybe less traditionally beautiful,
but more manly. Cliff and Gossling do.
Speaker 5: Look thank you, pretty, thank you. It's a glass's sunglasses
when he takes them off. It's not also, which is
a a wild thing, like sunglasses can really make someone
look different.
Speaker 3: Also, we do know that yes, a little bit of
a zaddy, yes for sure, like more mature energy, no doubt.
But like he's gonna take He's kind of like we
talked about with Marcus Freeman, like you, that's a man.
He's gonna take care of you. Not a f boy,
you know, f boy energy out of Kingsbury, not Marcus Freeman,
not Aaron Glynn. Uh judgment off your three. So started
the week talking about Joey Taylor's boobs, any the week
talking about t bopsuos. What a week, great week here,
No TV guys, truly has come full circle.
Speaker 5: You ever ever knows Taylor Sharp looks like Ryan Gosling.
Speaker 3: In yes, in the generic white guy since I suppose
this is uh the the what's funny about the Kingsbury
stuff though? Is he actually if we remember from the
COVID draft where we got to look inside everybody's home.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, he has what was going on.
Speaker 3: Ryan Gosling home from Crazy Stupid Love? Like it's not
literally the home, but it is actually almost literally the
exact home.
Speaker 4: And what a good scene, what a great movie.
Speaker 3: Good see Emma Stone sees his abs and she's like, what, like,
what is this real? Like, what are you doing here?
Get those out of here? That's crazy. It's a good movie.
It's a really very good movie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, his house was insane, and I think that was
like an internet thing for a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah, can you get me? Can you look that up
real quick? The Cliff Kingsbury House during the draft.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I feel like I can't really attach to
anybody because like every five seconds, we're also sending us
like a new rumor.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: So, what's the latest so from this morning?
Speaker 4: Haven't gotten an update this morning?
Speaker 3: Okay, let's see on the website now sets interview conduct
interview with my Kafka, who remains the least exciting, Yeah,
and most perplexing of all of the uh.
Speaker 4: That was last night or yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of all the possible teams, I mean, that's just
all the possible uh.
Speaker 4: Candidate every time.
Speaker 3: I don't don't, I don't hate it for me.
Speaker 4: If you're not watching, we're looking at.
Speaker 3: Cliff's home in Arizona, Arizona.
Speaker 4: It's just it's just a wall. It's like Florida ceiling windows.
Speaker 3: So modern monochrome and and white. He's got tight white
pants on high waters. Yeah, I mean this kind of
reminds me, me and my wife. But she's she's getting
really into antiquing. We're about to completely make our house
because we've I don't know why, it's kind of going
for this minimalist thing for years. It's just not us.
Speaker 4: I don't think so either.
Speaker 3: Like she said, we're too creative to be to have
nothing in there. We need art, we need.
Speaker 5: I'm excited about that journey random stuff. I like my
office already.
Speaker 4: I know, I'm so excited.
Speaker 5: My my don't patrol poster is coming in.
Speaker 3: I tell yeah, it's kind of perfect though.
Speaker 4: I mean, your office looks really good.
Speaker 5: It's a good way to like it's like stuff that
I want to hang in my home. But like, I'm
not going to hang a dome patrol poster in my
living room.
Speaker 4: No, like where am I going to put it?
Speaker 5: But I really think it's cool and I like it,
and office is a market place for that, all right.

Speaker 1: I came to welcome next to the ninth ranked morning

Speaker 3: Off the Bench Punk you better back up, try and
played the role in the whole crew will act up,
Get up? Stand up? I actually don't know. Hands up.
I don't think you will find out. Oh, this is
the bluegrass version of what you were talking about. Yeah,
I don't know the feeling we.
Speaker 4: Should talk about her, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know. We are playing with fire here. Uh
so I mentioned book recommendations. I just read a fantastic book,
very quick read. You probably see if you walk into
your bookstore. It's being pushed pretty hard right now. Uh,
but it is James. Now you're gonna I am, that's
gonna be next. I got two book recognition. But this
what I read. I haven't read Royal Airs, Kedy. I'm
gonna get to that. But the uh but James is
and And to be clear, I've never read Huckleberry Finn. Uh.
This is making me want to. I'll probably will next
now that I have. Now that I've read this, but
it is a story that has hucked Finn in it
and everything. And I'm pretty sure it's in a lot
of ways the same story only told from the perspective
of the slave Jim James, and what it reminded me
is something that Professor Tolkien has written about in the past, right,
because back in the day C. S. Lewis told Tolkien
that fantasy was lies spun through silver. Ironic considering you
know C. S. Lewish, writer of.
Speaker 4: What was what I was saying about what C. S.
Lewis is like genre.
Speaker 3: This might have been before he I don't know the
time of it. Remember they were fairy famously in the
Ink and Teapot Club. I think it is what they
called it. They get together write whatever.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's awesome. They would get together their local tea
shop and they would all read excerpts from their writing
and critique each other. It's awesome. But so maybe this
is before he wrote Narnia, but it caused Tolkien to
write treaties called on Fairy Stories, in which he argued
that sometimes fiction can speak to truth better than nonfiction can.
And I think a book like James really uh hammers
that at home, because when you think about slavery, you
can read about slavery like how awful it was. You
can read about the numbers, you can like Dan Carlin
has a really good hardcore history that came out not
long ago, all about the Transatlantic slave trade, and it
is some of the most horrifying things that you have
ever heard. The way that they would load these boats
up off the shores of West Africa with people chained
under the decks right next to in an incredibly awful
weather for months at a time before even setting sails,
just truly horrific. However, it still doesn't hit in the
same way as a book like this, in which you
were getting slavery from a human being's first person perspective,
and so it really hammered with Tolkien's talking about there
because although this story is not technically true, the truths
that it makes you feel and that it speaks to,
I think are deeper than a more his historical view
of something like slavery where you can get well, actually
and well, yeah that's true, but then there's this blah
blah blah blah, and here's the political No, I don't
care about any of that. What was the human experience like?
And James nails that, and it is heartbreaking at times,
really adventurous at times, it's funny at times, it's just
really excellently written and I would fully recommend it five
out of five.
Speaker 4: Absolutely love Well you mentioned it.
Speaker 5: I've seen it on lists and I've seen people talk
about how good it is.
Speaker 4: So yeah to the list.
Speaker 3: Yeah, check it out and it's quick and it's quick
you'll get Is that right? Uh? It would probably be
my favorite book that I've read. I think that makes
it personally.
Speaker 4: I've seen it a lot of places.
Speaker 3: I've seen it personal ever wrote it, I should say too.
I actually listened to it on Audible and man, I
should have looked up who read it because the narrator
absolutely knocked it out of the park. Here. Probably my
favorite audible performance I have ever ever read or I
ever listened to I suppose. But yeah, and then another
book news shout out to mcgirl Lindsay dugon d and
D partner in Crime, who last night had her book
launch Royal Airs Academy. It's uh. I can't wait to
dive into it. But if you have a you know,
a young daughter or somebody who is into young adult fiction,
I think this book will be Yeah this yes exactly, Yeah,
yeah for sure, for sure. Let me get you the
I'll get you the synopsis because yes, I do think
it is right up your alley.
Speaker 4: Did you? I don't know if you keep up with it,
but I mean you read a lot, so maybe you do.
Speaker 3: But okay, hold on American okay uh. It's a contemporary
young adult novel set in a glamorous European boarding school
where fourteens compete to inherit a European kingdom.
Speaker 4: That's very cool.
Speaker 3: I'll you got a great book launch last night, Shadow
Cavalier Books. The place was awesome.

Speaker 5: The antique district, that whole area is Caitlin's gonna lose
her mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so.
Speaker 5: Much fun, especially if like that's what you're trying to do.
Speaker 3: Very Norman Rockwell Americana like old school vibes too. With
the two one way streets, right, I think I think
to like get over to the one, you had to
change over, like a lot of brickwork, great architecture. It was.
It was fantastic. I really enjoyed it, So shout out Cavalier.
It's a beautiful bookshop. Yeah, really really beautiful. It's a
great night, great night.
Speaker 5: Do you remember at Senior Bowl last year which is
coming up, so excited about mobile, but last year Tee.
Speaker 4: Bob and I were going to dinner and we kept
there was what's that is it? Like the the Haunted
book store?
Speaker 5: Every time I passed by it, it's like a locally
owned bookstore. It was closed and so I never got
to go in it. And te Bob kept talking about it,
and we were walking to dinner and we were walking
past and it was open, so he's like, let's just walk in.
Let's just like in before dinner and I was like,
I don't know, and he was like yeaheah, let's just
walk in. I was like, okay, we'll just do a lap.
So we walk in and we bust in this bookstore.
Turns out we have crashed a book signing. Yeah good,
And like the lady was like, well, we're actually doing
like a private event. There's like a book signing whatever,
and T Bob was like, we just want to look
at it. She's like, sure, you can walk around. So
so everyone else is in line to get a book signed,
and T Bob and I are like trying to move
around this tiny book story and we're excuse me, sorry,
excuse me, next story.
Speaker 3: Though. It really is a great book, sot. It's another
great locally oom Bookstel's got a few great little hidden
gems like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was gonna say, is is I last year?
I never do this?
Speaker 5: But last year I kept up with all the books
that I read, like in a in an.
Speaker 3: App, Oh you did? What was? It was? The app?
The apps box type thing before.
Speaker 5: Well, the reason that I did it this specific app
it's called story Graph. It gives you all this data
which is really neat like it tells you.
Speaker 4: So I read. I read forty.
Speaker 5: Nine books, not including my fanfic forty fan fiction. I'm
at sixty but my god, I read twenty eight thousand pages.
Speaker 1: What I know.
Speaker 5: It's pretty cool and it just like breaks down like
the moods of your book, the page numbers and all
the different stuff.
Speaker 4: But that's the first time I've kept up with my
book numbers.
Speaker 3: Taylor, have you read a book this year? Does audible count? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Have you had currently one? Number four?
Speaker 3: The amount of condescension and that statement by Rivers just no,
I'm currently on four. Yes, if you're if you're comprehending
what you're listening to audible appsence, okay, well then yeah,
that's great. Four books. What have you read?
Speaker 6: Victoria got me into So I did some horror style
book because you know me. Then I did, well, what
was your favorite book of the year? Give me that
that I've listened to in order I get the Christie
books or she did? She did the Murder on the
Orion Express. Yeah, it was called and then there were none.
It was like her first book or whatever.
Speaker 3: It was cool.
Speaker 6: It's like a murder mystery, which I love.
Speaker 3: Like that journey for you, lad, last book you read,
what's going on here?
Speaker 7: The last book I read was No.
Speaker 8: I don't really listen to books, but the last one
I read. I go back and I read the classics
a lot, or like stuff that I read in high
school that I feel like I could better comprehend now.
Speaker 7: So the last one that I read was Crime and Punishment.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's very like this year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well not this year, I guess.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's very impressive. Yeah, Okay, we've talked about that.
Speaker 8: We read a lot of class he has good books.
Speaker 3: Try to say that the Russians produced great art for
a long time. Yeah, it's said.
Speaker 4: Can you say that without having to.
Speaker 3: Adult? I don't know, uh, but unfortunately I'm impressed.
Speaker 5: I want to talk about that sometimes, like how we
haven't read a lot of the classes.
Speaker 3: I've read any of the classics. Again, I don't know
why I love to read it. In high school, I
just did spark notes whenever I was for I.
Speaker 5: Didn't do that, like I read all the stuff from school,
the classics from school. But that's like if I if
I read the classes because someone was like making me
do it, or there's a couple that I read because
I wanted to.
Speaker 8: But you'll be surprised to hear that they're classics.
Speaker 3: Like there's a reason why that.
Speaker 5: Was like talking about I can't remember what book it was,
but they were reading it and they're like.
Speaker 4: I mean this is so good, Like have you read this?
Have people read this?
Speaker 3: Like yes, yeah, there is the reason why they're immortal.
Speaker 8: I've seen like a lot of people haven't read the Odyssey,
but I feel like they made us read that in school.
Speaker 7: But that was another one.
Speaker 3: It's interesting because I don't feel like I've ever read
the Odyssey, but I've read it, just not the actual Odyssey,
because so many stories are just the Odyssey in different traffics.
I mean, even though brother we are the movie, Yeah,
is just the Odyssey, right.
Speaker 7: Like the Three Musketeers or no, what is it of
Mice and Men?
Speaker 4: We definitely read that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so sad we had to read that out loud.
Speaker 6: And last too, I think I was in ninth grade, which.
Speaker 5: It feels like a like an age where you shouldn't
have to make people read it out loud night, like
you just take it home and read it.
Speaker 4: I think that's right. I think we read it in nine
three two.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I'm I'm LP public schools. We're probably
a little bit later, Neil.
Speaker 4: I was public school. I was public school.
Speaker 3: You got into Brandon Sanderson yet, Bob, I've read some Sanderson,
I really so. Sanderson is one of those writers where
I always love when i'm reading it what he's writing.
Like I read the Misborn trilogy, but I remember nothing
about it. I know it was oppressive, it was awesome
and had like this very cool magic system, but I
remember like nothing beyond that. I did buy a Brandon
Sanderson kids book for my kids last night at Cavalier though,
along with Royal Airs, and it was it was it
was really cool though. It was a good one.
Speaker 5: We probably need to go to break But how excited
are you that Carson Beck's transferring?
Speaker 3: Well, we actually we talked about yeah today, So we
should probably hit on that because a little validating in
some ways. I do remind you though about Gordon Kurner

Speaker 1: The bench back to sports talk maybe off the bench.
Speaker 3: Welcome back. Yeah, we actually will do sports talk here.
Yeah you want her a little JANKI broken down.
Speaker 4: Headphone Hunt favorite headphones?
Speaker 3: Hunt Palmer here in studio. Also a game. Guys, who's
INNA sports?
Speaker 4: That net?
Speaker 3: Hunt is absolutely killing it. But so Hunt yesterday it breaks.
Carson Beck is entering the portal and I'll give you
what my original take on the back situation was when
he got hurt, was that Carson Beck would absolutely stay
in college, but not be at Georgia because somebody will
pay him four or five six million dollars and he's
coming off a UCL injury. He didn't play that well
this year, like his NFL stock got tanked basically during
Why in the world would he go to the NFL.
But I have heard through the grapevine that you said
that you think this is a kin to Thatcher heard
entering the portal.
Speaker 9: It's the same type of deal. To me Thatcher's NLB
draft grade plummeted last year. He was the Friday night
starter to come out of the gate and he ended
up kind of a non factory. Now, his last outing
was incredible in the region when he got LSU into
that final, but it was just an insurance policy, and
you can cash an insurance policy. Thatcher didn't. He got
paid to go to the major leagues. I agree with
you that that Carson Beck is like worth well is more,
is worth more in college.
Speaker 3: He'll make more in college than you win in for
that one year.
Speaker 9: Yes, but also this quarterback class is atrocious and the
NFL absolutely loves to take quarterbacks in the first twenty picks.
We can go through the list of names an hour long.
Speaker 3: True.
Speaker 9: So I'm not saying there's no chance that Carson back
is going to stay in college. I'm just saying this
isn't like some shocking thing to me. I just think
it's like, hey, keep your options open. I mean, are
you one hundred percent certain he will not go back
to JOY.
Speaker 3: I think I think so. No, I think no, No, Okay,
so I think this. I think that you are right
about the quarterback class. I think it's the UCL injury though,
that tanks Carson harder here than anything. And if he
didn't get injured, you're right, he'd probably be the third
quarterback off the board. I don't know if anybody's gonna
trust him coming off at UCL.
Speaker 9: Now, I don't know what that means for a quarterback.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
Speaker 9: I never hear about UCL injuries. Sure, douse, you got
to like get hit for it to happen. It doesn't
happen as much as it does. It happens to every
picture just about. So I don't know about that. But
I just feel like, he's why would you not get
in the transfer portal? Like people were like, well that's herd,
where's he going? It's like, well, probably the major leagues,
but maybe back to L s U and maybe to
two land where.
Speaker 3: His brother plays.
Speaker 9: But like the only way to create the bidding war
is to invite it.
Speaker 3: So I say that I think that he is one
hundred percent going to be in college.
Speaker 9: One hundred percent.
Speaker 5: Yes, So explain So he is not in the portal yet.
Speaker 3: Right isn't?
Speaker 4: He can't? So then he can't go to an SEC school, right, correct.
Speaker 3: He can't go to an SEC It is danger. But
you know, because he has two very obvious landing. Does
his girlfriend goes to Miami? Yeah? Still the snapchat stuff.
We're still together, We're still doing that.
Speaker 4: He didn't know about the snapchats.
Speaker 3: You don't know what he.
Speaker 6: Forever ago, before they were dating, before they were dad.
Speaker 3: He was just being the only bad part is that
he was just being not QB one. He was he
was begging for nudes.
Speaker 4: Wait, I know.
Speaker 3: One, my QB one does not beg for nudes. Okay,
you do not come hat in hand, you say, excuse me,
I expect these in my inbox by five thirty to day.
By the day, e O d.
Speaker 9: Exactly have another just pointless discussion. Here was did Friday
Night Lights coin the term QB one. I have followed
the TV show or the movie the TV show. I
had follow sports since the midnight I gotta tell you,
no one in my life had ever said the term
QB one until they started.
Speaker 3: Now everyone says it. I could see it, dude, I could.
It did kind of become the hotness a few years ago.
Speaker 6: Randomly, yes, point like starting quarterback gets her very first
episode and then they're like, hey, Sarahcen like your QB
one dude, Like that's all they called him, Like, you
can do whatever you want your QB one.
Speaker 3: Now was bloom? Did Blue Mountain State have any QB
one show centered around a QB two like Arcity Blues?
Speaker 4: Nobody said that sounds like a very QB one movie.
Speaker 3: But no, I I'm not saying this Like from a
reporting standpoint, My read is why I mean, Carson Back
one hundred percent will play in Collezo. He'll make more money,
He'll have a chance to prove that he's uh made
up for the injury, and then he can because of that,
he could potentially make more money in the NFL. Whereas
because when you get drafted higher in the NFL, you
get more leeway with which to grow. A second round pick,
even if he sucks, will get more time. Like if
a second and fifth round pick are equally bad, the
fifth round pick will get cut immediately.
Speaker 5: Question, Yeah, does your QB one follow his girlfriend to
a school?
Speaker 3: Well? No, again, but my QB one doesn't back It
is not my QB.
Speaker 5: One saying you want your QB one to be someone
who followed his girlfriend.
Speaker 3: No, I think this. I think that. So I don't
think he's going back to Georgia because I think things
got toxic at Georgia. The fans hate him. Kirby has
quotes out there and the run up to the Bowl
game talking about how the players play harder for Gunner Stock.
He drive around Athens in a Lamborghini. He just has
the Miami feel like there's rumors that Ohio State one
may want to pay in Miami want to pay him.
He doesn't strike me as a ring chaser. He fits
the vibe of Miami and the cader's there. Yeah, I
think he's going to go to Miami.
Speaker 9: Another thing I don't know is I don't know when
the spring window opens for sure, and I don't know
what the deal is with entering the draft, Like is
it like draft where you can come back. What's because
he's in the draft.
Speaker 3: There's a date. I don't know off the top of
my head.
Speaker 6: There's a deadline.
Speaker 3: I don't know when it is.
Speaker 6: Well, we'll say like the Hunt's point about the u
c L brought party against the Eagles. Remember he he
tore the u c L in that game and had
to miss the game.
Speaker 3: Surgery at the laundra Okay, so on the seventh he'd
have to pull. You'll remember that.
Speaker 6: He had surgery in March. In July in training camp
he was taken first team rets. So you see, all
may not hurt him as much, but I don't think
he's going to the NFL.
Speaker 3: The problem it's the combination of him having a down
year end the UCL and the down years, you know,
not hard to understand. Look at what brock Bauers did
in the league. Look what Lad mccacky did league. Okay,
like his step off, his drop off and weapons was extreme.
But his value is just so much to me. This
has all the feelings of he gets hurt. It's an
emotional time. He's like, I'm a bulldog. I don't want
to go anywhere else. I'm going to the NFL. Okay,
a week goes by, his agent gets the early NFL
reports and then he tells you, and this is what
college is won. Yes, and it's like, oh, well, why
in the world would I go to the league and
not just make the millions of dollars that are being
promised me, uh to remain in college. So I I think.
Speaker 4: It's one will be back in college.
Speaker 5: The deadline to opt out of the draft is February seventh. Yeah,
sorted echo, and he sorry, I didn't hear you say that.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. Recognize, I apologize.
Speaker 9: So you can transwer pretty quick. And then that that
would lend itself. I thought that you could just kind
of keep your options open for a while. That doesn't
keep your options open for a while.
Speaker 3: That is interesting that he missed the portal window, though,
Why wouldn't he have acted quicker? That's bad.
Speaker 9: It's four or five four days, that's bad.
Speaker 3: Business, dude.
Speaker 6: Earlier that would have been so they were done against
the notice game.
Speaker 3: There's day, Yeah.
Speaker 6: New Year's Day, so he would haved January fifth.
Speaker 4: He made the decision on the ninth.
Speaker 3: All he needed to do to was inner because you
don't have to choose ye, you could pull your name.
That's your name in there.
Speaker 5: What a weird decision by him. What do you think
happened there in five days?
Speaker 3: I don't know why the money took so long, but
I mean maybe reflection and then the money.
Speaker 9: And they didn't miss the portal window the Sun Belt,
Now did you see that?
Speaker 3: No? What?
Speaker 9: Every single first team member of the Belt team is
in the portal, all of them, every one.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's tough because in any like, we don't
want Triple A players to stay in Triple A. You
know what I'm saying, anybody does kind of sucking college football.
Speaker 9: When I talked to Will Davis head. Will Davis is
the head baseball coach at Lamari. He spent a lot
of time here and when they were playing l s
U a couple years ago, I had him on the show.
He has lost his Friday Night starter three years in
a row to Oklahoma and Texas tag like three. It's
just like, yeah, he's good, but not anymore.
Speaker 3: See you later. I mean, I guess you just have
to at that point. That's what you recruit to.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Will Wade's does it.
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, if you're not here next year. That's
good for you. Yeah, yeah, like good. Then I recruited,
well you.
Speaker 4: Think some just like rich guy Miami was just like
I'm to throw so much.
Speaker 3: They well, is the life while guy still super involved
because life while it's been in as bad. I don't know.
I think, I think, I think, I think life while
it's gone belly up play on that. But but Miami
still has money.
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean so, I'm just like real Miami guy.
I can just see it.
Speaker 3: The only thing is if it is Ohio State Miami, though,
I think Beck feels more Miami. Could you forego the
chance to throw to Jeremiah Smith like you want to
increase your draft stock, go through to Calvin Johnson. It's
gonna make you look great, So I will be. But again,
I I do believe that Beck will be back in college.
It makes the most sense to me.
Speaker 5: Sun Belt Chances twenty twenty four. It's not a rebuild
when everyone is doing it.
