all right.
Speaker 4: We'll come back again now Renumber three OTB here live
from Arouses on Burbank and Lee. All right, So now
we are going to play my favorite game of the week.
We are going to play What's the Ticket. So if you're,
you know, just now tuning in to OTB and maybe
you don't know exactly how this game goes, and Moose,
I think you've probably played it before, and I'm sure
Taylor has already kind of given you the lay of
the land there. It has to involve at least one
team out of the top twenty five and we go
across the country and this is get in price.
Speaker 1: Okay, So this is get in price.
Speaker 4: What's the lowest and what's the highest ticket in the country?
And this week, I think we've got some really good teams,
some really good ticket prices, and uh, this is gonna
be a difficult week. I think. I think it's gonna
be a difficult week for the crew to be able
to guess what's the highest and what's the lowest ticket.
And y'all better not let Muso come in here as
a guest appearance and beat y'all in what's the Ticket?
So Matt, I get this every week, you absolutely do not.
All right, we are going to start with the lowest tickets,
so obviously we'll keep it here we'll start it here.
I'll go to matt first. Then we'll turn it down
and turn studio up, and we'll go to Taytay in
Muso back in the raising Kine studio. All Right, the
lowest ticket in the country. Is it Louisville at Miami?
Is it Nebraska at Minnesota? Is it Georgia Tech at Duke?
Is it Michigan State at Indiana? Is it Memphis at UAB?
Is it Wazoo at Virginia?
Speaker 1: All Right?
Speaker 4: Louisville Miami, Nebraska, Minnesota, Georgia, Tech, Duke, Michigan State, Indiana,
Memphis at UAB or Wazoo at Virginia.
Speaker 5: Call Lee, you got some nasty ones here, you got
some gross games, all right? So okay, Memphis at UAB
can't be great. I mean it's gotta be. They might
be paying you to come to that. They might be
doing that thing where is a coastal Carolina that just
gives away freak concessions like hot dogs?
Speaker 4: I think they did before.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they might be one of those games there.
But I'm gonna go with Louisville at Miami Tonight a
Friday night, Friday, Freaky Friday, South Beach people are worried
about Miami college football. They're definitely not worried about Like
on a Friday night, people are going to go out.
People looking for bottle service, popping some champagne, getting fireworks
put on their patron and as it comes to their table.
That's what they want to do in Miami. So I'm
gonna go with Louisville at Miami on this Friday night.
Speaker 4: All right, let's go back to Studio Fellas. What is
the lowest ticket in the country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go ahead. This feels like a trap. I
gotta go UAB though, I mean they're terrible. Memphis is
coming in. Memphis is a good team, They're still not
a big brand. They are begging you to go to
that game out there in Birmingham. I'm going to UAB Memphis.
Speaker 6: All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna go Duke in Georgia
Tech eleven AM Duke out a football school. Fan wise,
many Diaz has done a fantastic job there. Maybe stick
around for a little bit more on that later, but
eleven am. Man I looked at that stadium and they
played Illinois at eleven AM.
Speaker 1: It was Barren. I'll go Duke in Georgia Tech.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll start with the highest ticket in this
category and work our way down to the cheapest ticket.
All right, So the highest in this slate of games
at eighty eight dollars. It is Michigan State at Indiana
at seventy four dollars. It is Nebraska at Minnesota at
thirty three dollars. It is Georgia Tech ATO at twenty
one dollars. It is Wazoo at Virginia. Come come on
for twenty dollars. That gets you into Memphis at UAB
go and seventeen dollars. Seventeen dollars an undefeated number two
team in the country and a standalone game on a
Friday night against a Louisville team that's four to one
and only lost one game in overtime. You can get
in for seventeen dollars.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 4: I won one seventeen dollars.
Speaker 1: Friday night. Baby. They're looking for that bottle service, dude.
Speaker 4: That is wild. You should you should be embarrassed by
that Miami f number two team with a team primetime,
with a team in Louisville that beats you a year ago,
and it's four and one on the year, and they're
coming off of bye week two and they're a little
bit more healthy than they have been. So all right, sure,
seventeen bucks. All right, let's go to the highest ticket
in the country. Is it USC at Notre Dame? Is
it LSU at Vanderbilt? Is it Old Miss at Georgia?
Is it Utah at BYU? Is it Tennessee at Alabama?
Or is it Texas A and M at Arkansas? So
quick recap here USC, Notre Dame, LSU at Vanderbilt, Ole
Miss at Georgia, Utah at BYU, Tennessee at Alabama, or
is it Texas A and M at Arkansas?
Speaker 1: All right, so there's some gyms in this one when
we do this.
Speaker 5: Of course, I don't always get it right here, but
I like to look at stadium size that doesn't always play,
especially like four hundred plus dollars for the Penn State
wide out game. But I like to look at stadium
size here. LSU Vandy kind of stuck out to me
a little bit. I'm not gonna go with that one
because a bunch of nerds there. I'm gonna go with
the Holy War, Utah at b Yu. I gotta assume
BYU stadium is not that big. It's probably decent size.
Have you ever seen though, But you got incredible scene.
You got you got two teams from the same state.
They're gonna travel. I'm gonna say it's gonna be tough
to get into the.
Speaker 4: Holy War So b yu Utah all right, let's send
it back to the Raisin Kane studio Muso and Tata.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was, I was, I was.
Speaker 2: I was kind of thinking BYU Utah as well. But
I'll go a little bit different since the Math took
that one, I'll go I'll go to hosting u UFC.
I think that's a that's a good one. Look too,
Rich Tradition teams both in the top twenty five right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's one I was gonna go with as well.
I mean they think that's the greatest rivalry in sports.
But again, to be different, I'll go with the low
hanging fruit Ole Miss George of the top ten matchup.
Feel like ticket prices with all the success in Georgia
have risen already, and on the secondary market, you're gonna
want to make some money.
Speaker 1: Give me, give me Athens, all.
Speaker 4: Right, And guys, by the way, you know you can
pick the same game. Like the object of the game
is to get it right, so you can if you
wanted to, you could pick the same game. It's not
gone once it's off the board.
Speaker 5: But okay, hold up, before you get to let me,
I want to clarify it, moost. Do you think USC
versus Notre Dame is the greatest rivalry in sport?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, I don't.
Speaker 4: I said they think that I could care less about
their rivalry.
Speaker 1: Very good, Okay, fair enough? You ready? Oh yeah, I'm ready.
I'm ready for two wins.
Speaker 4: Rady here, all right, let's start with the lowest ticket
and work our way up to the highest. The lowest
ticket in the games that we just laid out there.
Thirty six dollars gets you in to Texas A and
m at Arkansas for fifty seven dollars. You can get
into Tennessee at Alabama.
Speaker 5: That's a that's a load number. That's a low number
A and m Arkansas's low number two for an interim code.
Speaker 1: Just had a pretty good show.
Speaker 4: It's arrival for ninety two dollars. You can get into
USC at Notre Dame for one hundred and sixty eight dollars.
You can get into LSU at Vanderbilt. It's a good
ticket price, right there. Get a ticket price, yeap fo
one hundred and seventy eight dollars. You can get in
to Ole Miss at Georgia get ready for this boy,
And for three hundred and thirty five dollars you could
get into the Holy War of thirty five at BYU.
So the highest ticket in the country this week involving
at least one top twenty five team is three hundred and.
Speaker 1: Thirty five dollars. You taught BYU.
Speaker 4: The lowest ticket price involving at least one top twenty
five team in the country is seventeen dollars. Get you
into Louisville at Miami. Let's go Matthew Clayton Flynn nailed
both of those.
Speaker 1: Not a huge deal.
Speaker 5: Credit to myself for being a sports guy. Yeah, I
just want to thank God, just want to thank God.
Just one man, though only one one man. I think
that's the maybe the first two of them.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's definitely the first time you've ever gone back
to back, both of them, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Usually I'm last place. Yeah, yeah, but you know what, not,
this is my week.
Speaker 5: So my thirty seven, right to say, I mean your
score prediction, score prediction is gonna nail it. My pick
for the Ponto and Parlay is gonna nail it. This
is my weekend, boys, this is my weekend.
Speaker 4: All right? Twelve I hope it is all right. So
when we come back, we are going to give you
our favorite plays from the NFL. So Muso Tay get
ready there with a pick. We'll reach out to a

Go to Boudres Electrical dot com.
Speaker 4: Weed Bounty.
Speaker 3: Locked in on LSU football twenty four to seven. You're
listening to off the Bench. Off the Bench.
Speaker 1: Job, Moose.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just enjoying Moose.
Speaker 1: You're good.
Speaker 4: We're back. I know we're back.
Speaker 1: We're back.
Speaker 4: You've done a nice shot today, though, really nice job.
If Moose knows one thing, I'll tell you what it is.
Red Sox baseball, Intelish Tiger baseball. It's having to uh,
you know, get yelled at by matt and it's a
nineties country.
Speaker 1: It's right. What he doesn't know? Ticket prices?
Speaker 4: All right, all right, Well let's see if Mousekin nail
an NFL pick here this week. All right, Matthew, I'll
get you to start off trying to get a landra Yeah,
she send her pick in as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a couple that I like.
Speaker 5: So why don't we kick it over to the studio first,
because if you know, I don't want to take theirs,
if they take one of mine, I can maneuver a
little bit.
Speaker 1: So let's go to the studio first. All right, Yeah,
I'm looking right now.
Speaker 2: New England road favorite six and a half, but they
are playing the Tennessee Titans, who are absolutely atrocious. Drake
may top ten quarterback on Matt Flynn's list, No big deal,
playing really well. I'm gonna take New England to cover
the six and a half against the Titans.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go to London. This is like the tenth
London game of the year. It feels like in the
NFL Rams Jaguars. Rams are three and a half point favorite,
not touching that. I'm gonna take under forty four and
a half in this game. The London games always seemed
to underdeliver for being honest, I mean last week was
a complete travesty. So give me forty four and a half.
I'll take onner that between Rams and Jacks. All right,
very good, very good, very good, So a little underpack.
We don't get the over under picked very often in
the party barge, but I like it. You know, life's
too short to bet the under sometimes, but every now
and then you gotta make some money. Yeah, all right,
so my pick in the week seven nfl OTB party barge.
Speaker 5: All Right, everybody's high on this team. They just had
a big win in prime time. Of course they're in
prime team because they're always in prime time. Chiefs at
home minus twelve and a half points at home, because
of course they're at home. I think they play all
their games at home. Yeah, so minus twelve and a
half points versus a struggling Raiders team, I'm taking the Raiders.
I think the Chiefs are one of these teams that
plays to their opponent. Okay, they always play. They always
seem to be in a tight game. For the last
couple of years. I don't think they've been blowing out
a lot of people. So I'm gonna take it. They
just had a big win. Juju Smith Schuster got beat
up a little bit. He did, He's gonna be you know,
might be found himself in the injury part. It's just
a big number of the NFL with the Chiefs team
that I think kind of plays the game to win
the game, and it's not necessarily Andy Reids not worried
at this point in his career about style points and
being flashy and blowing teams out. I'm gonna take the
Raiders with the points plus twelve and a half. All right,
you don't love it. I saw your face too, the Raiders,
Like I don't like the Chiefs either, just one of
the names that I stuck out. Then I started looking
at the logic the.
Speaker 4: Kind of like actually, like, I hope the Raiders don't
fall and trip and look, Devin White's there. Now it's
my guy, so a little bit easier. Jamal Adams is there.
Even when Foster was there, I was like Foster, like,
you're my dog. But God, I hate the team you
played for, all right.
Speaker 1: I hated myself and I played for them, all.
Speaker 4: Right, little self hate. Alandra live from Nashville. I know
she's not gonna join us. That'd be kind of cool,
but we didn't set that up. But she sends her
pick in she likes the Cowboys plus two and a
half hosting the Commanders Cowboys at home. Plus two and
a half against the Commies.
Speaker 1: What's a home dog.
Speaker 4: I am going with a road favorite for my pick. Okay,
this is probably the first time that anybody's ever put
this team in a party bars Parlay. Give me the
Carolina Panthers minus one and a half against the New
York Jets on the road. Baby, Carolina three and three.
The Jets are zero and six. Carolina's got a little
juice to them. I know they haven't won a game
on the road. I know all three of the winds
of coming home. But the Jets, they hadn't won a
game anywhere. They haven't won a game on the practice field,
on the game field, anywhere. So give me the Panthers
minus one and a half on the road.
Speaker 1: Might not want a game in a decade. That's I
like to pick.
Speaker 5: I mean, let me ask you this, speaking of the Jets,
was justin Fill's about to get his first year head
coach fired. What do you think your owner's seventy seven,
seventy eight years old? Yeah, you know, not a spring chicken.
Probably not real patient, probably not Probably didn't want to
see a long term situation play out. But not only
are they losing, which is expected, you didn't like that.
I know they he came from, like the the Dan
Campbell tree of coaches, right, so it's a patience like yeah,
the argument, Oh the Lions weren't good the first year
Dan was there, and they you know, it's a long
term play, but is it looking like so much of
a disaster that you're like, I just I thought I
could do it. I thought as the owner, I could
sit here and watch it play out. But this is
just too bad. Yeah, we'll see if the Panthers coming
air and beat him. Maybe we're talking pans got a
little juice to him. Now they're Tree and Tree, that's
you know.
Speaker 4: And the teams a beat. It's not like been bottom feeders.
I mean they beat the Cowboys, they beat the Falcons.
Speaker 1: I'm cheering for him, for sure. I got a real
nice Bryce young card. I got a lot for the
stock to go.
Speaker 4: I got a lot of Tetoro McMillan. That's right, all right,
so a lot of te McMillan. Yeah, I love t mac.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think xavierly Get might go for four fifty this week.
He's gonna need to need to go get my prediction.
For sure, Let's at least hit double digits receiving this
year or this this game.
Speaker 4: Look get yeah Teedoro mcmill by the way, has been
really good.
Speaker 1: There you good, very good? All right.
Speaker 5: So to recap, are off the bench. Week seven NFL
party barge. We got New England minus six and a
half at home versus the Titans. We got the Rams
versus the Jags. We're taking the under. That's a London game.
You sound like you if Iro'm London under forty four
and a half. We got the plus twelve and a
half on the road against the rising Chiefs team Cowboys
plus two and a half at first, the comings at home,
Panthers on the road, minus one and a half at
the struggling, the end, shambles, the incompetent, the terrible, the
brutal Jets.
Speaker 4: Do you like that pick?
Speaker 1: Don't you? I like that? Like that? Like that, which
means it's not gonna hi.
Speaker 4: Put those together, you parlay those, let's see, and you
win some dollar dollar bill.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put it into the old app then when
we come unless we got a little time here.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. While you're doing that, that's good.
While you're doing that, I'll tell the people about the

you're filling in, you want to put a little in,
but take a lot out that party bars, all five

So you know what I feel like, just getting crazy.
Speaker 4: Rich if you don't play it. I guess you hate money.
Speaker 1: If I guess you hate it, of course do it responsibly.
Speaker 4: But also you hate money if you don't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we didn't do great last week. So this is
our get right right. It's our get right way, full
disclosure we do. I don't hit all these, okay, but.

Speaker 4: Go down.
Speaker 3: From the locker room to the airwaves, gets off the
bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 4: I got a good job, all right, Welcome Game ot
B here live from Morals is on Burbank and Lee
may be our pond team parlay pick. But something that
did just come across my phone there and you had
already known about it. Deon Sanders at Colorado coach Prime
actually doing something I think is pretty cool. And I
don't know if everybody's gonna agree with it, but and
I know Taylor's probably punching the sky right now, but
he went in front of his team, He's like, look,
I know I'm not foolish enough to think that all
you are going to be here next year. I know
the guys that aren't playing probably gonna jump in the portal.
He said, I'm want to help you out today. We're
gonna have a scrimmage. All the guys that you know,
basically aren't ones and twos I would assume, are going
to you know, go go out there, You're gonna scrimmage.
We're gonna cut it up. We're gonna cut it up.
We're gonna do it just like we would game tape.
That's how we're gonna film it, and we're gonna give
it to you so you have it to give to
other coaches that potentially you could be on their roster
next year. So you do have some film. And again,
I know a lot of people might not like that,
but he's he knows how the game works, and he
knows that those players aren't gonna stick around there and
look for him too. He's probably like, I don't have
room for you. You're not the guy that I thought
you were going to be. Whatever, but I'm at least
gonna have this tape for you so you can go
pass it out to potential new teams.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And guy like Dan Sanders can put Hish put himself
in the shoes of a college player, yeah right now
because he is a former player, so he understands the
world that we live in in college football is different.
Speaker 1: So it is awesome what he's doing. I thought it
was a great heat.
Speaker 5: I'll listen to the speech last night when I was
laying in bed and he's talking about, Hey, for everybody
doesn't get to play, get your mind right right now,
because this is game day for you.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go play a full out game. You're gonna
have film.
Speaker 5: So for guys that are thinking about transferrent, are you
if you want to enter that portal, you just let
me know. I will cut it up. I will make
it look good. You will have a professional tape to
go out there and seek an opportunity. For those of
you who don't want to go to the point we
want to stick with us. You're gonna have game tape
to help you get improved, to help you get better.
This is a game environment. I want you to tag it,
he said. I got cheerleaders coming, I got part of
the band coming. I try to get the whole thing.
We couldn't put it together, but like I got everything.
Like this is going to be a game atmosphere, which
everybody like in in bye weeks, most teams in college
they will have like called it like the Dirt n
Opper Bowl or whatever it is, Like unless you just
call it young guys, go the young guys, let's have
a go at it. Yeah, So they would get there
and then the starters would sit there and cheer and
do all that. But uh, it's just it kind of
explains like how crazy the world is in college football
where but like it's self serving a little bit too. Yeah,
you don't think that's part of a recruiting tool for
him like, hey you come, come, come to Colorado.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: See see if you got it, and if not, we're
going to help you somewhere else. And it makes it
and it makes himself. It was a really good video.
It was very self aware video where of the landscape
at college football around it.
Speaker 4: So yeah, kudos again. I know it might not be
for everybody, but I thought it was really cool and those.
Speaker 1: Players get Taylor said the chat he didn't like it.
Terrible idea.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly you would, and that doesn't shock me. All Right,
it is now time for the Pontoon parlay. We're going
to give you our favorite pick in college football and
I'll toss it over to Matthew Clayton Flynn if you
want to start this, yep, go ahead. I'm going to
get a Laundra's pick while while we're at it.
Speaker 1: Here, Yeah, I'm going to start what's on the Big
twelve and we are.
Speaker 5: It wasn't like one of the top games, but I'm
looking at this and I'm kind of trying to look
for home dogs. So right now, the Houston Cougars at
home hosting Arizona traveling changing some couple of time zones
over there, traveling and I believe that I'm trying. My
internet is slow to load, but I think Arizona right
now is a one and a half point favorite on
the road versus a pretty feisty little Hites. And I
believe they each each one of these teams as a
two loss team right now. So look, it's a I
like that. I like when I'm betting to kind of like,
look at who are the home dogs, how much is it?
What's their schedule? Their schedule matchup, and so I start
to favor them a little bit. So yeah, I'm gonna
take Houston plus one and a half at home versus Arizona.
Speaker 4: All right. Actually, we had Conor Wigman on our show
on Serious XM.
Speaker 1: He was great.
Speaker 4: He was really good. You could tell a student of
the game, had a good game plan ready to go.
And Willi Fritz is one of my absolute favorites. Like
love Willie Fritz. His wife Susan listens every afternoon and
off campus and.
Speaker 1: So it's nice.
Speaker 4: I was like the show, I was like, does she
appreciate the fact that I honestly love Willy Fritz's voice
because it's the old school.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard him talk a little bit.
Speaker 4: He's like the old like high school ball coach, it's
been yelling at people so long, kind of talks like this,
and he talks like, you know, we gotta go out there,
we gotta win games. And it's like he has yelled
so long in his life he lost his voice permanently, right,
And so I love that.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: Love the fact that they're good too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a fact check myself here real quick. Houston
is five and one right now, Arizona four and two
in Arizona minus one and a half or on the road.
Speaker 4: All right, let's send it back to the Raising Caine studio.
Let's get Taytay and Musso's college football picks.
Speaker 1: All right, We're.
Speaker 4: Gonna go eleven AM in the eighth in the ACC.
Speaker 6: Durham, North Carolina. This to me is just a really
tricky spot for Georgia Tech. I mean it's eleven AM Durham.
It'll be a little bit sleepy Georgia Tech coming off
the home win against Virginia Tech. On paper, this should
be yellow jackets all the way. But man, I'll tell
you right now, I like the way Darien Minson has
played so far. Manny Diaz always has his team ready
to go, especially on defense. And I love the defensive
line for the Blue Devils. Theyreak havoc in the backfield,
second in the league in sacks.
Speaker 1: Over there on the Atlantic Coast.
Speaker 6: And then I mean Anthony the edge rusher, Anthony Junior,
Vincent Anthony Junior is an absolute freak show. I like
Duke minus the one and a half get the win
over the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets upset. Well, actually, I guess
it wouldn't be an upset.
Speaker 2: Jake, Matt, I'll ask you guys this, Jake, I'm sure
you'll announce a Laundre's pick in just a second.
Speaker 1: I know we already have it.
Speaker 2: If y'all don't want to do this, this is fine.
I have another pick. Would y'all be cool with two
different picks in the same game?
Speaker 4: I mean, m like, how you how are you gonna
do it?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: Because she's picking it over under I was going to
pick a spread. If you don't want to do it,
I have another one. It's no big deal.
Speaker 1: I good, We're good. This is our parlay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'm gonna take Louisville plus thirteen and a
half tonight against Miami.
Speaker 1: I think Miami wins this game.
Speaker 4: Louisville's four and one.
Speaker 2: They didn't look great last week, but you know they
still They're still four and one on the season. Miami
snuck by Florida State, who's lost three straight. They both
look good. I don't think this is a blowout, though.
I like Louisville plus thirteen and a half.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 4: And then a Laundras pick was she likes the over
in Louisville Miami, which is at forty nine.
Speaker 1: And a half.
Speaker 5: I really thought she was gonna like Miami minus thirteen
and a half. That had been one hell of a part.
Speaker 4: I don't know how we would have made that math
math because that would have been pretty difficult.
Speaker 1: What is the what's the over?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: Forty nine and a half? Forty nine and a half?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 4: For my pick, I am going to the Mountain West.
I am going to UNLV Boise State, and I'm taking
UNLV plus fourteen against Boise State. Boise State four and
two this year, UNLV two and oh in the Mountain West,
just like Boisse stay with six and oh overall. Give
me the fighting, Dan Mullins, I'll take the running ReBs
in this game against Boise State. So look, I know
it's a tough place to play the old Smurf turf,
but you're giving me two touchdowns. I'm gonna take both
of them. Give me un ov all right, Matthew, what
do we got?
Speaker 1: All right? Little recap of the let's see is this
week six? Week seven?
Speaker 5: Let's see we ate, Holy moly, we ate college football?
The off the bench official Pontoon Parlay Houston plus one
and a half versus Arizona at home, Duke minus one
and a half on no at home versus Georgia Tech
Louisville plus thirteen and a half at Miami, and sticking
with that game Louisville Miami over forty nine and a
half points and then UNLV on the road at the
Smurfs or plus fourteen versus Boise Steak.
Speaker 4: There it is. How are you feeling?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Wait, hold up, don't like that.
Speaker 5: I like I'm not You're right, I'm a fox ol
gout you know you know I don't like the Georgia
Tech pic.
Speaker 4: Oh with my heart, Yeah it's true. Yeah, yeah, Moose
did that?
Speaker 1: Did that?
Speaker 4: Definitely a right?
Speaker 5: Hey, I gotta respect it'll probably hip. I don't want
it to, but it probably will.
Speaker 4: He did that respect, I'm still gonna you know, it's tough,
tough because it's probably a good play. But can I
really find myself rooting against the Yellow Jackets?
Speaker 1: No, I can't. I can't do it. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So all right, last week when I was rooting against
the Pontine parlay because I don't know your pick whatever,
it was my pick. Yeah, why didn't your pick?
Speaker 4: Oh Missouri? No, that was a loun just pick h Yeah. Yeah,
you were certified buster, that's what you are. All right.
So that is the Pontoon Parlay. And when we come back,
I will ask the bench segment here on the show,
So go ahead and get those questions and we'll get

Speaker 4: Ju last night said it played a sad song and
crime what you was drunk and got him Bob Shopping
Juke Boss, the.
Speaker 3: Lesson two thousand and seven Champs Purple and Gold to
the core. This is off the bench with Hester and
Flynn Baton, Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 4: Stop. That's Mark Chestnut, Bud. When you asked the other day,
the legend is love that guy. Bubba shot the jewbox.
Speaker 1: Love that guy.
Speaker 4: He's got more hits than that. But this is a
chest Nut classic.
Speaker 1: All right, I got a question for you.
Speaker 4: I got a stat for you too, So you go first.
Speaker 5: All right, So we know that Garrett Nussmeyer can do it.
We know that if he gets it turned around, we
got to get that swag back a little bit. We's
admittedly now there was an issue, there was an injury,
but admedially healthy now, so kind of no excuses a
little bit.
Speaker 1: So we know he can't do it. We've seen him
do We've seen him do it multiple times.
Speaker 5: We've seen him do it at a high level, at
such a high level that people projected him to be
on the Heisman finalist list. Yeah, so we know he can,
but I want to know if he will in your opinion,
I'm not asking you. Can he get it turned around.
I'm asking you, will he get it turned around?
Speaker 4: So he had some comments this week that he acknowledged
kind of the situation and pointed to him getting that swaggerback,
getting back to enjoying football and having fun. I'm going
to trust in my fellow eighteen brethren. Brethren yeah here,
I mean we're homers. Yeah, I got it, and I'm
going to say that he does. I'm gonna say it
because we haven't heard him say things like that before.
Getting his most trusted target back as well helps in
Aaron Anderson. The game plan was better last week, the
execution was better until you had the turnovers. That's part
of it. Can't take him away, I get it. But
if you can clean it up this week, we're talking
about a different team. I'll ride with number eighteen. He's
gonna get it turned around.
Speaker 1: Be the nuts that we know and love. Yep.
Speaker 4: Yes, the guy that you can ask me a thousand
different ways, Flynn.
Speaker 5: Yes, Okay, fantastic. I'm glad you said that because I
think so as well. I have been in this kid's
corner since he first stepped foot on campus, and I
saw him at that one scrimmage that wasn't even there
to see him. Yeah, I've been the self proclaimed leader,
the driver of the nuts bus for a long time,
even when I was getting ridiculed, even when people were like,
maybe he's coming in, he's kind of mop up duty
and he looking tear ropah blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, Nope,
I've been driving that bus.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 5: Of course, being on on radio and doing this, I
gotta be critical. I got to call a spade to Spain.
I gotta be like, hey, if you're not doing something, well,
here's why you're not doing it. Well, I'm not just
gonna blanket so oh he's just not playing great blah
blah blah blah blah. I'm gonna look at it and say,
these all these things that he's doing are fixable.
Speaker 1: Now he's got to do it. He's got to go
prove it, and I think he will.
Speaker 5: He hit a little slump last season second half of
the AN and M and after that A and M
for a little bit and worked his way out of it.
Speaker 1: Is he in a funk right now? I don't know.
I know he was injured, admittedly healthy.
Speaker 5: Let's go, let's get the swag back, Let's start getting
the juices float a little bit, maybe take a little bit.
Maybe you thought, Okay, he's a he's been here a
long long time, he's wearing the eighteen. Now he's established.
Maybe we're gonna put a lot more on him pass
protection and different things like calling plays, making audibles. Maybe
take some off. Let's simplify the game. Let him go
back there and play backyard football that he likes to play.
Let him play within the system. I don't want to
see anymore. I'm overthinking this pass protection. I'm gonna move
it back from the right to the left and screw
up the entire play that way. I don't want to
see that anymore. Back's on the right, Mike right, Let's
go down, set, hike, clap whatever, clap, fake clap. Oh
that's gonna get him. Oh that's gonna give him that time. No,
this time, that's gonna get him. If y'all are wondering
at home, it's fake clapping. Yep, you couldn't hear it. Well,
So I think he will. I hope that he will.
We should all stay in Nuss's corner and cheer him on.
I know that the offense hasn't been what it is,
what it wants to be, but everything's out in front
of you. You got these nerds from Nashville standing in
your way. This week, go make a statement as an offense.
Let the defense do its thing. Defense, keep playing your
tail off, keep playing your ass off, just like you
have an offense. Make a freaking statement this week. Let's
get nice back on the track. Let's get that bus
rolling downhill once again. Let's go tigers.
Speaker 1: Love it, I love it.
Speaker 4: I'll throw one for the running backs before we get
to ask the bench. Brian Kelly twenty five and five.
When a running back gets at least ten carries nine
and seven when a running back doesn't get at.
Speaker 1: Least ten carries, strange step.
Speaker 4: So feed the running back, get him at least ten
find a bell coal, get him more than ten carries,
and let him ride, and let him lean on the defense,
and let him not just get close to breaking those runs,
but like you did last week, start to break those runs.
Feed the running back and then guess what he's hungry.
It opens up the EMI play action pass, It opens
up the passing game in general. Feed the running back.
The proof is in the stats. Absolutely, let's get too little.
Ask the bench here, ask the bench. If you both
had the opportunity to stay with your favorite teams, do
you think you would still be playing today like your
draft made Joe Flacco.
Speaker 5: No, all my buddies would be gone. I would have
stayed in Green Bay as long as they would have
had me.
Speaker 4: I would have stayed in San Diego for as long
as that whole crew is there. As long as Gatsy
and Philip and Weddel and those kind of guys yep
were there, I would have stayed there with them. I
probably would have retired around twenty eighteen, It's probably my guess.
So yeah, twenty eighteen or so, I would have I
would have hobbled out there for a couple more years
for sure, to stay.
Speaker 1: With that group, No question, yeap.
Speaker 5: I would have stayed in Green Bay as long as
they would have had me, as long as like Aaron
and my people were there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: It was just a great place. I played my best there.
It was just fantass.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 5: I just didn't want to go do it at other
placeymore because I didn't want to move again. It stinks
after a while, it has to been Why is the
interim coach bump a thing? Why don't the players play
that hard for the previous coach. I mean it's human nature.
Like anything new and fresh is exciting, right, it's it
gives you a burst of energy a lot of times
when you have a coach that's been there a long time,
and if things aren't going well, just like anything like,
you mentally start going down and you can kind of
get into a funk, you get into a rut and
you need a little bit of a change, and you
see it. That's why you see it all the time.
It's not just like it happened this one time. Oh
my gosh, I got that interim bump. I mean you
see it all the time. So when a group of
talented people who have been struggling and feeling negative when
they get something fresh, when they get a new start,
that energy comes back a little bit and oh yeah,
they're still talented so they can put it together. And
that's why you get that bump. And it didn't last long.
I mean it's like you get a brand new car.
I get a brand new car and I'm like last
and I'm like, oh, I'm gonna keep this one clean,
going to be clean for sure, And it's clean for
a little while and all of a sudden, there's a
little junk here, ye, junk there.
Speaker 1: It's not that newde It.
Speaker 4: Can't eat the car until then four months later you
got full happy meals in the back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, it's good. That's actually a good way
to describe that to.
Speaker 4: Your brain is really at its peak right now, fully
focused that. Jasmine Rice asked the bench hester, who do
you want the Braves to hire? Jip, I would love
Chipper to be the guy, would be awesome. I think
he pretty much said like he didn't want to be
the full time guy, but he would be interested in
being the hitting coach, which that that kind of be
awesome too, Like I'd love for him to be involved
some way somehow.
Speaker 5: Sounds like something somebody would say that once the job,
but wants to negotiate a higher price.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, Yeah, I'd love for Chipper to be But
if if it's not Chipper, if it's not Larry Wayne
Jones Junior. Yeah, Walt Weiss, I think that's a good option.
I think David Ross is a good option, both former players. Obviously,
wat Weiss has been on the staff for a while.
David Ross has been a manager in a couple of
different places. Mark de Rosa, nobody knows these people. Mark
de Rosa actually is a pretty a pretty good name there.
He's coaching Team USA. He played for the Brads for
a long time. So yeah, all three of those former
players for sure, cool cool, for cool?
Speaker 1: What nobody's ever heard those names? Just you could have
just said a name. It could be on the next
question already.
Speaker 4: Now, Mark de Rosa, David Ross, and Walt Weiss. I
think most baseball fans would know who that is. Asked
to bench, do you pick Alabama or Tennessee?
Speaker 1: The over Bama the over?
Speaker 5: I just told you, like, I'm not a fan of
fam I right now, not a fan of Bama right now.
I don't like what I'm seeing on film. They're they're
They're good.
Speaker 3: Thank it.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to say that.
Speaker 4: I take the over.
Speaker 5: I think I got journalistic integrity take over in the game.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't even know what the number is.
Speaker 1: Just take the over.
Speaker 4: Tennessee has a chance. Tennessee can run the ball. They
can run the ball from a lot of different looks.
They are committed to running the football. Tennessee absolutely has
a chance to win that game. It being in Tee Town,
that's obviously, you know, a big positive for Alabama neland's
become one of the tougher places to play in the country.
So I think it's a close game. I think maybe
Baman pulls it out by three or something. But I
think it's a really close game. And I think Tennessee
scores a lot of points. But SODA's Alabama, So take
the over. Ask the bench. Does Kentucky win the men's
basketball National Championship with a twenty two million dollars roster
this year?
Speaker 1: No, they don't. They don't. I'd say that you.
Speaker 4: Got produce really good. Kentucky is going to be good.
But so let's see, so is Yukon. They're gonna be good.
Gonzaga is going to be good again as well. So no,
I didn't have Kentucky as as my favorite here in
the preseason.
Speaker 5: So I gotta ask the bench, how does has lost
to Florida State? Look now that Florida State has fallen off? Well,
I mean, wait, know, like you.
Speaker 4: Had six you had six months to prepare for that game.
Speaker 1: Who doesn't lose an opening game?
Speaker 4: Couldn't be us?
Speaker 1: It couldn't be us. I mean, are you even cool
if you don't lose an opening game?
Speaker 4: I think that was Look, Gus Mazan had six months
to prepare and he was ready to go. And Alabama
did not play to their standard in that game as
far as the effort that they showed in that game,
and they got punched in the mouth and they didn't
get off the mat. It's impressive how they've gotten off
the mat now though, considering where they were. So you know,
you still take care of business there, but I to
change it and turn around, and that short of his
fans incredible. Honestly, Hey, do you remember anything when we
played in Vanderbilt? Do you remember anything specific from the game? Uh?
J Couler's bad body language that.
Speaker 5: I just remember their crowd, of course, full of nerds,
but really creative and funny and trash talking, like were
they that like things that just like made you think
for a second, man, that was funny, good for you,
that was smart. That was a smart little joke like
they were talking about is October, I think, And there
are some guys that didn't play like, hey man, it's
a trick or treating right now.
Speaker 1: They were just correcting, all right, I'm excited to see
the atmosphere.
Speaker 4: What year was that, budd.
Speaker 1: We're coming up with anyway, LSU.
Speaker 5: To look at the box ville, get the dub, getting
the hell out of the nerds.
Speaker 4: That's a prediction. We love you, we thank you. We'll
see you again next week. Top the bench all right.
