it's a toss up on what you get. But I mean,
there are there's no bad names in this box.
Speaker 5: I can tell you that. Yeah, there's the reason why.
But there's no gambling. This is not a gambling. This

saw his name and I'm going Devin White.
Speaker 6: I'm either gonna I I'm between Honey Badger and the
Triple Week's autograph.
Speaker 2: I hope it's not Jordan's Jordan.
Speaker 4: You want to take a guess, Kiren, I'm gonna go
Honey Badger, Honey Badger.
Speaker 2: That'd be it'd be one of those big ones. High.
Speaker 5: I just hope it's a good one for the first one.
Speaker 2: It's all good. They're all good. Uh. It's purple. He's
gonna get it's purple. People, it's purple.
Speaker 4: So you're trying to say you're gonna get a Richard Dixon,
which would be a.
Speaker 6: Great one, just getting rich bullet. Let's see a bullet,
all right? It is football Jersey.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's a weeks which one? Can you read it?
You can pull it out? Man, It's okay. That's a
good point. Yeah. Oh, we got wits. We got a wit.
Speaker 4: That's really good.
Speaker 2: That's a two hundred fifty dollars value right there. Now.
Speaker 5: You can't sign that one upside down? Well, one of them.
Speaker 2: I see, well, that's pretty weak wit to do that.
So to do it regular side, he didn't want to
do it the right way. They signed it the right way,
the right way. That's kind of boring.
Speaker 5: They just had a story just released on ESPN the
other day about a Tom Brady jersey has been circulating
the for sale market that he signed upside down. I
thought it was really really and they took a picture
of it. He signed it from a fan on the wall.
Speaker 2: Yeah. See ahead of the game.
Speaker 6: People's always following what I do always.
Speaker 5: That's right, Hey, Jacob, this Saturday, This Saturday, I want
to tell the listeners that we are having Charles Alexander
here at the store.
Speaker 2: That goy was pretty good running football, pretty good.
Speaker 5: They just retired as jersey over at LSU, so we're
gonna be having him Saturday morning from ten to eleven
here sign an autographs, jerseys, helmets things.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that's pretty Adam. Yeah, I walked in.
Speaker 4: I walked into an event that Charles and Kevin falk
Rabbed Me and Fly were doing. I'm like, oh cool,
I just became the third best running back in this room.
Cool because Charles Alexander was a freak show. I mean
I watched the highlights and they kind of looked like
thes we're watching it from seven, the same quality there.
And gosh he was he was really really good, great,
great human being as well too. I don't know if
y'all have ever had a chance to sit down and
talk with him, but sawt of the Earth just an
incredible guy and it was a really good player, not
only in college but the pros as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, Cool, he'll be right here.
Speaker 5: Excited to have him here at third non thirty burbank driver.
Speaker 2: What's on? You say? Ten? Am?
Speaker 4: Okay, So he's gonna be here, Like just just know
like you're getting a chance to like have a conversation
with him, Like you get a chance to like like
it's it's a great setting here. It's not like he's
going to be like just rushing you through the line.
The cool part about doing all this you get a
chance to sit down and Charles is so great with
this time. He's like, if you want to hear a
story's probably gonn tell you a story. Sure, if you
want to talk about a certain run, he's gonna tell
you about a certain run. So that's an incredible access
and I mean you probably saw it if you were
here for the weeks brothers.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: So that's what like a place like this is very
cool for because it's not like you're at this, uh.
Speaker 2: You know, big convention.
Speaker 4: And sometimes when you're at like a big convention and
we've all done, i mean like they serve their purpose.
But you go to a big convention, it's like we
kind of gotta we got to roll through here because
you got a ton of people. Everything's kind of crazy
as well, because you've got chaos around.
Speaker 6: You, Like there's a big barrier you got to stay
in like a certain Yeah, like this is not that
this is like social distancing.
Speaker 4: Yeah before like that was something that we knew what
that So, yeah, come check that out.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be very very cool. I got a question.
Speaker 6: So during the football season, of course, I'm sure a
lot of a lot of your inventory, a lot of
your sales, a lot of what's in the store is
is football based, right and rightfully so, So during the
football season, especially like at the professional level, like there's
ebbs and flows to people's season. They play good, they
play bad, and it's kind of like this in the
card game like the stock on cards rising and falls
with how well that player is performing. So I which jerseys?
Which memorabilia is kind of hot?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 5: Are we just talking at ll SU? We're talking to
the NFL now both here be either Yeah, LSU is crazy.
People all the asked the time, Well they lost last week,
like sales are.
Speaker 2: Going to be down.
Speaker 5: They're really buying. These customers are buying jerseys of the past,
so it doesn't matter day to day. Really, they're buying
the OBJ and the Tyrone Matthew and all that stuff
like proving jerseys and Hester and Flynn.
Speaker 4: Do I have to say that, yes, yes, yes, absolutely, Okay,
the contract, but they are buying stuff that's already been
proven and already happened.
Speaker 5: Right, very rare are you buying except for this next
couple of weeks because we did the week signings what
I did there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so it is.
Speaker 5: It is kind of rare to have a product on
the field and product on the tables. So it's going
to be a new aspect to see how that plays out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like the memorabilia game.
Speaker 6: It's like taking such a huge step like I wish,
like when I was playing I understood the hobby world,
the memorabilia world just because like you had access to
all these cool things, and you know, I would have
saved more cleats or helmets.
Speaker 2: So you know, done more stuff.
Speaker 6: But it's taken such a big step, and I know
COVID played a big part of that. And I look
at like the market and all this stuff, and it's
like it's almost like you talk about the older player jerseys,
like you know, you talk about like trading cards, You
talking about jerseys, you talk about things. It's it's like
almost like trading and purchasing like art, right, But with art,
it's just like the it's an eye of the beholder.
And something that you can't put like a finger on
is nostalgia, right, Nostalgia for people they love the cards
of or the jerseys or the autographs of people they
grew up watching and they have these great memories of playing.
It's not necessarily the people that are doing it right
at that time. It's nostalgia and that's something that they
art trade in and purchasing doesn't really have.
Speaker 5: Nostal Nostalgia is a good word. I like to always say,
we don't sell memorability. We sell memories or we sell
a moment into that right or dreams like the company's
named I mean, go figure, but we sell that one
moment like I remember where I was standing at that
moment when yeah, I mean we're going to talk about
the a Tani deal forever, like like we're going to
talk about the fourth and one play. That's I mean,
all those moments is what we sell here.
Speaker 4: If y'all could have one piece of memorabilia, and I'm
not talking about like Tom Brady's first touchdown pass because
of the value of it. I'm talking about just for you,
because you talk about that and you immediately go back
to a memory or maybe it's even like before you
were born, but you go back in and you watch
it and you're like, man, that that was inspiring, and
that's who I want to be.
Speaker 2: Like whatever it might be, who would it be for y'all.
That's a tough question.
Speaker 6: It's a loaded question because it's supposed to be especially
as like as long as we play, so I have
some really cool stuff of like when when I played right,
so I have I have the cleat somewhere in the
National Championship that still have the dried up confetti on
the bottom of it. Now it's like like black, like
it doesn't have color anymore. But the confetti at the bottom,
Like I think that's really cool because it's so it's
the memory, it's the nostalgia of all that.
Speaker 2: But I grew up and we a.
Speaker 6: Fan of cowboys, Texas Rangers, Like Texas Ranger stuff to
me is like awesome, but not Textas Ranger stuff. Now,
I don't care about that. I don't care about the
stuff that I watched like at.
Speaker 4: Home and see, like I don't care about my like
I don't care about my stuff like that does. But
like for me, like a sign neck roll by Mike Alstott,
Like if he gave me one of those Cowboy callers
that he wore and he signed it, you couldn't offer
me a price.
Speaker 2: That I'd give it to you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I I would love Jim Taylor anything.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 4: I wasn't alive when Jim was playing, but I was
certainly alive and had great conversations. He used to come
around the locker room all the time. And let me
tell you something, like when he was in his seventies
and eighties, he still looked like he would get after it.
I mean and just the hardest handshake and looking the
eyes and have a moment with you and like talk
about just life and talk about football and great determination
and whatever. Like if I could have like anything from
Jim Taylor like that, would that would be in my office.
It'd be the only thing in there. It would be framed,
it would be under a lock and key, like because
like that would mean the most to me. So like
for me, I've always known mine. Those are the two things.
So all start if you're listening, because I'm sure you
are in Tampa Bay, go ahead and send me a
cowboy caller. And then yeah, if I don't ever find
Jim Taylor, I have an alert.
Speaker 2: I have it.
Speaker 4: I have it set up on eBay, an alert if
anything of Jim Taylor game used ever comes on the site,
I get alerted it hadn't happened yet.
Speaker 5: So people ask me all the time, like, obviously we
owned millions of dollars of inventory. What was my favorite piece?
I don't have very much in my personal collection anymore,
but stuff that players have given me. Personally, mine is
shout out hester on the on the TV.
Speaker 2: That can't I can see that face anyway. Mine is
mine is now what you watch that run tray?
Speaker 4: Why don't you say that about that now dragging gators
down the field?
Speaker 2: Sorry? All right? Can I continue? Yes? All right?
Speaker 5: So mine h Pete Rose was one of my biggest
clients I ever worked with a lot, and we became
really good friends and spent a lot of time together.
Speaker 2: But he gave me a ball one time and.
Speaker 5: He goes, if you ever sell this, I'll kill you,
and I'm gonna tell you a story about it. And
so as he signed it, he's telling me about he
had to go overseas. In his arrow was Joe Demaggio.
He was a rookie, Joe was older and they had
to go on this tour to morale the troops up
and all this stuff. So in the middle of the night,
I'll keep this as clean as possible, Joe says, I
need a shower, and Pete's like, you're in the middle
of the jungle, Like you're not getting a shower. He's like, no, no, no, no,
Pete Rose, You're gonna shower me. So Pete Rose had
to get a five gallon bucket and like dump over
a five gallon bucket and showered Joe Demaggio. Oh, my gosh,
and he said that he very quickly realized and found
out why Marilyn Monroe loved him so much.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I have a autograph baseball by Pete Rose
and he put Pete Rose. I gave Joe DiMaggio a showers. Sorry,
that's my that's my piece that like, I'll never sell.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2: As you were telling the story about.
Speaker 6: About that, I was thinking about like the one the
one piece of memorabilia I've seen that I've I've actually
been like like jaw dropped, like, are you serious?
Speaker 2: That's that?
Speaker 6: Like, I like, I've been that into was. I was
saw mister uh, mister Warren Rabb every time, and I
was I was meeting with him and I.
Speaker 2: Was talking to him, and he.
Speaker 5: Did a signing here.
Speaker 6: Awesome, very cool, and well, yes, everybody do a signing here,
but us geez, I know, it's kind of wild. So
I said there, we're talking and I'm just kind of
shooting the shooting the breeze, if you will, and I
look over on the wall.
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, what's that man, what's that well football
right there?
Speaker 6: Yeah, And He's like, oh, that Oh, that's the ball
that Billy Cann's scored with on Hallowey Night.
Speaker 2: Mmm. So what that? Mmmm?
Speaker 4: That could be the most valuable piece of L s
U merchandise maybe ever?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Maybe was it? Well, that's fine, you're good.
Speaker 4: I would say maybe something that I put that up with,
maybe something more and more the bat of the ball
in the college.
Speaker 2: We'll see what else. I was like anything from nineteen that.
Speaker 5: Would helmet in jersey from Burrow that year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think helmet and jersey that for sure.
But when you have the ball from the play, like
maybe like the the third and seventeen ball from Texas LSU.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm trying to I'm trying to think
like any of our game or in jerseys.
Speaker 4: I'm sure definitely not maybe like the touchdown ball in
this Florida game.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, not even close to Halloween,
I know.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's it's like, that's the first story you
have to hear when whenever you become an LSU fane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the first time.
Speaker 4: I was like, Holy, I think that's the most valuable
thing you could have.
Speaker 5: I mean that or the jersey from that game. You
know the helmet from that game.
Speaker 4: But I'm just thinking the ball made the ball like
it had it had to cross the goal line. If
it doesn't, you don't win. Like so maybe Meadhead, I'm
thinking about it like too much. But for sure, so
mister rab put a little bit extra security on your door.
Speaker 2: After one just nart you out. I didn't say where it.

welcome back in.
Speaker 4: It is ot B here live from Pro Dreams. Let's
go ahead and we're gonna get to our guy, chef,
Michael Johnson. It is now time to answer all of
your monchy question.
Speaker 2: Chef.
Speaker 4: We appreciate your time as always. How you doing this week,
sir man, I'm blessed brother. All right, Uh let's go
ahead and uh let's let's get a vibe check, chef,
because you've always, you know, got a pretty good pulse
of the team. You see him, yeah, you know you're
around them every single day. Kind of break down maybe
how the week went, you know, tough loss there on
the road and I had a chance to see you
on the road, which is always my pleasure. But now
you're coming back home. Kind of give us a vibe check.
Maybe as a team.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I mean I'll continue to tell you
this that this is a resilient team. You know, after
a win or a loss, they come into Monday Monday morning,
business as usual. It's time to focus on the next game,
you know. And then I think that's what's beautiful about
this team, is it's put the win or the loss.
You know, you can't. Yeah, I don't think it's healthy
to dwell in either. You know, if you dwell on
a win, you go into a kind of complacent perhaps,
and if you go into it dwelling on the loss.
You know, like you've got to have a positive mindset
every game. And I think that I see that out
of every one of these guys on Monday morning.
Speaker 6: All right, Chef, when you cook, you know, you know
someone waiting someone's hearts always, you know, through their stomach.
And so after an emotional game, after a loss, is
there anything you do different? Maybe throw a little little
extra comfort food in there, maybe a little ice cream,
something like that, anything to get the mood out from
a food perspective.
Speaker 8: Honestly, it's more important for a recovery day, you know,
like omegas and stuff like that. And they know that
we're business like that. Like we we try not to
get into the head game too much. We try to
stay at the body game and just worried about what
they need to recover with. And you know, they get
a meal on Sunday that I'm not a part of.
But Monday is a big day for us, and it's
still a recovery day because I mean they've burnt a
lot of energy on It's on a Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening,
so really we you know, find our fundamentals and recovery.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, chef, we got some people inside of
the chat. I want to know, did you try any
Nashville Hot Chicken?
Speaker 8: You know, I was there, we were we were there
a very very short amount of time and I did not.
I had a stay for dinner and it was back
to business, you know. I mean I don't. I don't
think the team was even there for fifteen hours, man,
So you know, I was there a day in advance,
but it was, you know, the business to be done,
so I didn't get out to get any Nashville.
Speaker 6: Hop All right, past segment is here. All right, I'm
cooking venison round steak tonight. Any tips from the chef.
Speaker 8: Venison round steak, so it's you know a lot of
connected tissues that for me, it's slow and low. You know,
it's I mean, round is really good for roast because
of the amount of connective tissue, because it's super lean,
doesn't have a whole lot of fat in it. You know,
it's not lending itself to high high heat and quick cook.
So typically that is going to indicate that you need
to cook slower and lower.
Speaker 2: Chef.
Speaker 4: So, this is that time of the year whenever you know,
we're at the ball field and we get home like
at eight thirty and yeah, chef, you got us, Chef,
you got us, Ye.
Speaker 8: I got you.
Speaker 2: Ah, there we go, Chef.
Speaker 4: This is that time of year where we're at the
ball field until eight thirty and you leave the house
like as soon as I get off Air five, like
we're out the door, we're going somewhere. And so anything
that you would recommend, right, is it a slow cooker,
Like give us something that if you're you know, one
of those parents right now that as soon as you
get home from work, you're at a ball field, you
don't get home till eight thirty, Like, what would you recommend?
Speaker 2: So you're not just.
Speaker 4: Vegging out like on fast food because you know, it's
air quote easier than having something ready at the house.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I think this time of year, I
really get into soups and you can you can put
a soup and a crop pot and let a cooker
you know, for from morning tonight and have it be done.
Speaker 2: Or or like one of.
Speaker 8: My favorite dishes on Earth, the chicken Catchatory, and you
can put that in the crop pot in the morning,
you know, like that or you know, before you leave
the house and come home and that could that chicken
be cooked in the red sauce and just be beautiful
and that it's a real I mean, I don't you
guys a fan of chicken catch story hopefully, but I
mean it's a wonderful dish. It's super hardy. You can
throw the carrots and stuff in there with it kind
of sweeten the dish up a little bit. But that
is one of my favorite fall you know, slow cook
evy evy menu items to put in a crop pot
come up too. Chili as well, you know, like you
can put chili in the crop pot. Let's let's be
in the meat cooking the crock box and it cooks
slow slows through the course of the day and get.
Speaker 6: The same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, che if.
Speaker 6: I would say probably one of the greatest inventions for
the kitchen is a crock pot.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, can you do some things with that?
And is it easy? Yeah? I'm telling you.
Speaker 8: You know, it's set it and set it and walk
away and you can come home and I be ready
and you know, like it's not a it's not a
five minute dish, but it's a it's relatively low involvement, right,
And that's that's I think, you know, ideal for a
busy parent that you want to have the quality food
that you get from a home cooked meal, but you
don't have the time to do it, you.
Speaker 6: Know, Yeah, no question, Okay, I got it. I got
a good one here. So it's hashtag machie. What foods
are the best way to put on weight if you
have a high metabolism. But I'm sure this is something
that you have to deal with with athletes all the time.
You got especially in football alignment people in training camps
and during the middle of the season, like keeping weight on,
especially for linemans who have to gain some weight, but
you want to do it in a healthy way. And
I know that you work hand in hand with the
diet the great dieticians over there, So how do you
do it in a healthy way? Put on some weight
for high metabolism.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's going to be lean, lean meat, proteins, man,
you know, carbs, stuff like that, lots you know, vegetables carry,
vegetable carry, and by and large, you know, I'm not
a dietician, so I can't give a specific person a
specific remedy for this, but by and large, you know,
you have to look at you have to know what
your caloric burn is in the day, and if you
want to gain lean muscle mass, you have to have
lots of protein in there and higher caloric intakes than
what you're putting out, if that makes sense. So if
you're if you're burning six thousand calories a day because
you have high metabolism, you need to be putting in
seven thousand calories a day with a fair amount of
protein being that that caloric intake so that you have
something to build on. If if it's all carbs, it's
not going you know, like it's not Those aren't the.
Speaker 2: Billion blocks for muscle tissues?
Speaker 8: You need to have proteins in there so that you
have something to build with and you need you know,
like there's other stuff there too, And I don't want
to get it on the radio, but you know, as
a general sense, you need to have more more chloric
intasts than what you're burning off. And there needs to
be a substantial amount of protein in there for to
be the built the building blocks of the muscles.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think in the layman terms, like for weight gain
or weight loss, you either have to have a calorie
surplus or a calorie deficit at the end of the.
Speaker 8: Day, that's right, Yeah, Yeah, And the aminos are important
in there. The aminos are the building blocks, you know,
the amino chains, So those come from the pro from
the proteins you can you can get it from like
you can get a complete protein complex from eating beans
and rice together. That's what you call a complete or
a complete protein uh that that has all the aminos
in the and the and like Kinla I think actually
has all of all of the amino protein profiles in there.
But you know, by large it's going to come from
muscle meats.
Speaker 4: You all right, chef hashtag munchies here, How do I
tell my wife her crock pot meals are bland and
overcooked without sounding rude.

much better than mine.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: I don't know how you do that, you know, like
there's always something extra, and you don't talk negatively about
it and talk positively about it. You know. I wonder,
you know, like and make fellow suggestions of what do
you think I need to do to mind to make
mind better? And and uh, I think by nature you're
going to send hers and her mind into hers of
you know, like how she makes that because I'm not
going to go criticize my wife's cooking at all, or
or his or anybody else's, you know, like you know,
sometimes you just got to grin and bear it or
or you know, or you have to humble yourself before
it be like, there's what it is. So I don't
know that. That's a tough one, and I feel like
I'm stepping in somebody's Hey.

Speaker 6: I'm not excited, like happy for anybody or happy to anybody,
but like you know, sports reality television, there's things happening guys,
nice jojo. I don't want to be like Super eight
D or Squirrel see you're here. But like y'all seen
the two lane uniforms. Yes, those helmets are nasty any
good way Like that they are awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Great. They looked like the city, the street, the white.
Speaker 6: And blue toles. Yeah, the white blue. Yeah, I was
trying to look for the word. They're streets street signs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mardy girl beads also on the helmet. You love that.
Speaker 4: A great job, well done. Two Lane stays winning in
the uniform game.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: They do the great Jersey uniform matchup this week too.
The playing organ, Organ's unveiling Oregon, the the the Grateful Dead,
the Grateful Dead. We had the guy that works, We
had the guys.
Speaker 4: Okay, so one of the one of the members they
play Aunton Stadium all the time. Someone in the band
Oregon fan and like they they are always playing in
aus and like they that was like they've played it
like ten times or.
Speaker 2: Something crazy like that.
Speaker 4: We had the guy that designed the uniforms and the
lead historian for the band on yesterday on off campus.
Speaker 2: Oh nice talk about the unifor right? Cool? So tell
me about the uniform.
Speaker 6: I know we I think everyone around here has probably
seen the two Lane, but I hadn't.
Speaker 2: I looked up the organ.
Speaker 6: I couldn't really see like what was actually Grateful Dead
inspired on it.
Speaker 4: It's so like the the the numbers are the tied
I instead of the dancing bears, they have the dancing
ducks on the back of the helmet.
Speaker 2: Yes, there's a lot.
Speaker 4: I mean it's a long list of like then like
little minor details in the jerseys as well. So yeah,
they have a history, like with Oregon and Oregon football.
So that's why it's not random cool, but that's why
they did it, so you know, no more dead and
co like situation like where they got together after obviously
like some of the members unfortunately passed away, but very cool,
very cool Neil Organ's doing.
Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah, I like I think it.
Speaker 6: I think those matchups are always fine because you know,
like before the season, equipment managers got together and they're like, hey,
we know we both kind of like to do some
cool things our uniforms. Let's do something kind of you
know together during the same game.
Speaker 2: Let's let's have.
Speaker 6: A little cool let's see you can make the coolest
uniform for this one. And I like the helmet, the
two lane helmet's awesome. Two lane helmet is very very cool.
Speaker 4: Two lane opportunity to continue winning and if they do,
I feel like the American champ is going to be
that top rated G six team and going to have
an outstanding, outstanding chance to make it to the college
football playoff, which is cool, Like that has to be
like for them to for those schools that have never
really had the access and I know we had it
a year ago, but to have that access to know
when you start a season, if we take care of
our business, you know we can make it to a
college football playoff.
Speaker 2: So that's big, big news.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you always want to go to be fighting for
and when it's a playoff, it's even better.
Speaker 2: Playoff playoffs. Hmmm. So let me ask you this.
Speaker 6: I know we're going to do a lot of ours
Tomorrow's you know, football Friday, a lot of score predictions,
LSU home underdog. I don't know if it's the first
time since win. It seems like it should be first
time in a while, but maybe it's not.
Speaker 2: Maybe last Yeargan's Alabama.
Speaker 6: You were, Yeah, do you think that you know, we
know the changes that kind of need to be man,
we know that l She's gonna have to play their
absolute best, most complete game all season to have an
opportunity to win this game. Now, we did lay out yesterday.
You know, Texas A and M rightfully so ranked in
the top five. Really good team. They've made the plays
to win games throughout the season. They Marcel made a
great play at the end of the Notre Dame game
that was clearly their best win of the season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but their schedule.
Speaker 6: Has not been the toughest out there, right right, Their
schedule has not been They've played UTSA, They've played Utah State,
They've played Auburn, They've played Mississippi State, they played Florida,
who is struggling.
Speaker 2: They've played Arkansas. Notre Dame is the only ranked opponent
that they have faced this season.
Speaker 6: Do you think that plays I mean, do you think
that A and M is as good as number three
in the country or is it a lot have to
do with their strength to schedule.
Speaker 2: I do think it's a combination of both.
Speaker 4: I think they definitely are one of the better teams
in the country. I think they've improved a lot of
the things that have kind of given them trouble in
the past. I think they're getting more productive play from
the receiver position. I think their quarterback is better. Is
he as accurate as they want him to be? Probably
not but he's better. He's continuing to develop. They've always
had a strong running game. I think the receivers are
much better than they've had, so I do think it's
a little bit different for A and M. I think
they're a better team than they have been. It's not
just hype. But you know, yeah, like you said, I
mean some of the teams are beating up on like.
Speaker 6: I don't remember, like because when we start talking about
different games, different end of those games, I go, I'm
on an end and I'm looking. I usually just look
at their schedule. And if we're talking to just some
like random teams. We talked about Oklahoma game, well pull
up the Oklahoma just see their record, see their opponents,
any comment opponents. I don't remember anybody that I can
look at who had the schedule up to this point,
with this many games, seven games into the season that
only has one ranked opponent, especially when you're talking about
a team or a school like Texas.
Speaker 2: A and M.
Speaker 6: Not no fault of their own. Of course, it's not
their fault that Florida's not very good this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, A scheduled Notre Dame out of conference.
Speaker 6: Hey yeah, yeah, cutaz to them. Cudaz of them in
Notre Dame the least cowardly thing you've done in a while.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 6: I just look at it as thinking, you know, a
potential spot where A and M, of course is good.
I don't want to take I don't I'm not saying
anything like that. But are they as good as they
feel right now? Based on their strength to schedule?
Speaker 4: I would say, like, I'll give them a lot of respect.
I think it's closer to them being the real deal
that it's not. But they have, you know, against teams
that you would think like based off where they're at,
they would run away from. I wouldn't say that they've
done that, And so like that's gonna be Lshu's challenges
staying right there in that pocket, staying with an opportunity,
stay within striking distance, and then go make the place
because look, is Lsu where.
Speaker 2: We want them to be? Absolutely not.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't even say they're close to where we want
them to be what the expectation was, But they do
have in places the Jimmies and Joe's to absolutely go
win this game absolutely, And this isn't one where it's
like when you go on the road to Florida in
twenty twenty and you're a three touchdown at all.
Speaker 6: There's been a lot of doom and gloom this year.
That's the that's the nature of the beast. That's the
reality of when you lose a game you feel that
you should have won. You lose a game of historic fashion,
just not because of the team you played, the quality,
but the school that you played in the history behind
all that. It's doom and gloom when you're not performing
the way the expectations were set from a fan base standpoint,
but certainly from the team stand they weren't bashful about
setting their expectations before the season. So when it's not
going the way, it's a lot of doom and gloom. Yeah,
but it doesn't take the talent away, the potential there
if they get things cleaned up. I'm just saying I'm
looking at the strength of schedule for a and m
saying I'm trying to find like the positives in the
matchup this week. If you look at the schedule, you
said nonumber three versus the team that an LSU team
that has struggled, and then you say them at home
and they're only a two and a half point favorite.
I think there's some there's some stuff there too, like
that this game is winnable for LSU one thousand percent.
But they got to play their cleanest game. They have
that their best game plan, and you got to have
an attitude. This is an attitude game. This is an
attitude check for this LSU team.
Speaker 4: And look, and your hope is that the coaches went
in there, the players went in there as much as
they could. They shut the doors, they locked it behind them,
and they said, we're going.
Speaker 2: To figure it out.
Speaker 4: We're going to figure out to the best of our
ability within the timeframe that we are given here. We're
going to do some of the things that we have
not gotten to yet, stuff that we know, stuff that's installed,
and we are going to have our best game plan,
our best opening tribe, our best whatever for this game.
Because you know, your back's firmly against the wall. There's
no space right your back is touching every bit of
the wall right now. And if you lose, then it's
a disappointing season, cause it's trending that way right now.
You're on the very edge to this disappointment. And if
you lose this game, you're gonna fall off the backs
against the wall.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do?
Speaker 6: And to to kind of our point we're talking about here, schedule,
Landra just texted us and said, A and M currently
sixteenth in the SEC and strength to schedules.
Speaker 4: Shoot, that's sixteenth in the country. Is sixteenth in the
SEC and the country. Good question, I assume in the country. Hm,
I surprised you. That's Adam only in one ranked team.
Speaker 2: That's shocking to me. I don't believe it.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, not to Dame. They always get you
get triple points for paying.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no to Dame. It's just that we all
know that. Oh yeah, all right, we.
