Mandra leg you put that together pretty quick. I was
wondering why you had me like say my name and

Speaker 6: I'm crying. I don't know why that was so funny,
but it is. I texted y'all last night that I
forgot to get new ones open or new ones made

was like, Flynn, just say your name and say raising
Kine studio real quick, and we made it happen, been.
Speaker 5: Telling you forgot it? No, seamlessly. Yeah, it's perfect.
Speaker 2: It's the most dynamic I've ever heard you the.
Speaker 7: That's not the original intro.
Speaker 5: Oh October it did it?
Speaker 2: Did?
Speaker 8: You got me yesterday too? But we're here, we are,
We are.
Speaker 5: Here, only four weeks and three days away from Halloween.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 9: So Halloween being on a Friday, Yeah, we will have
a little high school football game you celebrate, uh, Halloween.
Speaker 5: Halloween. Football games are always fun. People dress up. Back
back in Tyler, Texas, it was always like the East
Texas County Fair going on to like right by like
so we were kind of like in a bowl. So
right above there's all the fair stuff happening. We play
Friday night football. People will be dressed up in their costumes,
electric time yep. People getting funnel cakes walking down to
the game.
Speaker 8: Funnel cakes, elite choice.
Speaker 2: That a fair to Sure it's great.
Speaker 8: I hadn't had one yet, but I'm sure it's great.
Speaker 5: Wait, really, I hadn't had one either.
Speaker 2: Is it really a fried oreo?
Speaker 5: Yeah, they didn't do all that. They batter it.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Out in h L N LP, we do the
deep fried uncrustables.
Speaker 10: Deep fried crustables a deep and so good. All right,
deep about anything.
Speaker 6: Huh, even deep fried ice cream, Yeah.
Speaker 7: Which seems really hard to do.
Speaker 2: I don't think that. How do you?
Speaker 8: How do you fry a liquid like that?
Speaker 5: I've had deep red cheesecake, I like fried ice cream before,
but it was just like they kind of just roll
it in a crust like give it the appearance of
being fried like.
Speaker 7: A cano. Ka.
Speaker 2: I don't know just what. I go to the fair.
It's like funnel cake corn dough.
Speaker 5: Seriously, it's got to be a pretty leg batter, right
because if you deep front, well you just think oreo
and oil. I feel like it's just going to disintegrate.
So it's got to be a pretty it's hefty, it's
a thick boy.
Speaker 2: That's a thick boy. It's October, which means the snowy
season is just around the corner.
Speaker 8: Great comment. It was hotter than hell yesterday.
Speaker 6: So basically, from my research so far, you just really
really freeze the ice cream like rock solid, a thick
coating and very hot oil very quickly.
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 11: Those are the oreos.
Speaker 10: Oreos you freeze them up to. So I did go
to the Texas State Fair last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I covered old Miss old Mind Oklahoma and Texas.
Yeah on this game. Still can't get that out of
my head. Oklahoma Texas. And we tried, like I tried
to do every thing, but it's like hurting just too much.
I did a I did a pickle wrapped in a
fruit roll up dipped in fruity pebbles. What, because like
that was like the the big crazy one, because like
every year they have like one crazy.
Speaker 5: It one bad I mean crazy.
Speaker 8: I never like to say, oh my gosh, I can't.
Speaker 5: Crazy is a strong turn. That's just like the most
outrageous dumb thing because.
Speaker 9: So I'm assuming it was pickle. Then they stuck the
just wrapped the fruit roll up and then stuck the
fruity pebbles on the.
Speaker 2: Outside, and then yeah, and then I kind of dipped
it and the fruit roll up stickiness had the fruit
pebbles on it.
Speaker 9: Even I don't even know if I'd even eat that,
like believe it or not, guys, I love fair food.
Is as hard as that may be to believe for
some people.
Speaker 5: I don't know that's hard at all.
Speaker 9: I don't I don't know if I'm doing a.
Speaker 2: Again, going back for more.
Speaker 5: Now it is fair season, right, October is fair right? Yeah,
so yeah, I do love a fair too. So you know,
there's multiple fairs. So like when where I was growing up,
it was like one big fair for everybody, Like it.
Speaker 2: Was just we had the State Fair of Louisian and
true for Okay, got so.
Speaker 5: We have like these Texas state fairs, so it's like
one big deal.
Speaker 2: Everyone goes.
Speaker 5: Like here in bad Ruge.
Speaker 8: It's like schools have their different fairs. It's like it's
we didn't have that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we didn't have that either, but which I kind
of like, you know, it's it's good get to raise
some money for some schools, some charities things like that.
But fairs, what fairs are? Like, what do y'all look
forward to? Which ones y'all look forward to? Do y'all hit?
Speaker 7: I mean the fair where I live, that's it.
Speaker 2: That's what That's what it is.
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess I haven't been to one in
a while, but at the Round Rock Express, there'd be
one in the parking lot at the Dell Diamond every fall.
Speaker 11: And you know, in middle school, you.
Speaker 6: Would just hang out anywhere, so like the place to
go was the fair.
Speaker 5: So you always have. There's a Livings in Paris Fair.
Speaker 9: I think every parish pretty much has one. I know,
like Washington Parish has one that's like a big one.
Speaker 5: I don't want to saying it like the ones I
go like I go. We go to the Saint Alicious
Fair every year. Yeah, but I don't think that's our fair.
Speaker 2: That we go to.
Speaker 7: I hadn't been to the state fair in a long time.
Speaker 9: I didn't know there was a state We don't even
know where they do it anymore because it's not where
it used to be.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 8: I thought that there was only one state fair and
that was in Shreeport.
Speaker 7: No, they have a state fair here.
Speaker 11: Yeah, the state Fair it used to be.
Speaker 10: It's like the state fair. There's one state so why
would it be in Treeport.
Speaker 2: We have huge fair grounds and it's right there by
Independent Stadium and it's always been there. Into City of Dreams.
Speaker 5: How do we feel about candied apples the Delicious? I
think they look awful.
Speaker 2: Head the candy. Do it for me.
Speaker 5: One of my kids, maybe buy my candy have a
Last year they took one bite of it.
Speaker 2: They said it was terrible.
Speaker 9: It's one of those things that I enjoy, but I'm
never buying one. I'm not walking around holding it eating
it like that at the fair.
Speaker 7: But I like it.
Speaker 2: I mean, are we on the are we on the fair? Rides?
Speaker 6: Try something going out of a suitcase.
Speaker 9: As a kid, I love them now. I've just I
feel like I've kind of out grown fear round.
Speaker 11: They've also always made me sick.
Speaker 2: Because they're so rough. Yeah, my CT doesn't love me either,
Like your brain didn't shake like that anymore.
Speaker 5: I got on one last year with my my four
year old wanted me to get on one of the rides,
and it was it was, of course, it's a ride
the spins in a circle because they all spin in
a circle, right, and your boys got a baby tummy.
I get car sick, I get sea sick. Like it's
not my proudest thing, it's it's a betat tummy.
Speaker 2: Okay. So like I go and I get on.
Speaker 5: This ride and it's one of these ride that has
like the wheel in the middle that you can like
turn so your seat control crazy, you control it crazy
gets so like I'm sitting there with my four year
old and like, all right, let's do this. You know
it's gonna be so much fun and like, you know,
talking it up. And then right before the little rope,
the little tiny, sketchy rope gets put over, like that's
the door, it's going to keep us safe. A little boy,
probably about nine ten years old, gets on in our
little cup and the ride starts and I'm like, all right, cool,
it's starting to speed up.
Speaker 2: I'm like, little boy, well, this little.
Speaker 5: Boy gets that little wheel in the middle and it
starts going like cranking on it.
Speaker 2: I start spinning. Just imagine him looking like either a
Dennis the Menace YEP or a Problem Child, the redheaded
kid from Problem Child ye with the freckles and.
Speaker 5: About I want to say, what felt like ten minutes
is probably it's probably ten seconds into him turning on
that wheel, I had four little sweat droplets start popping
out of my forehead and I grabbed that wheel stopped it,
and I was like, stop.
Speaker 2: It your robot voice I got, I got like real, uh,
so I stopped it.
Speaker 5: So I got off this ride like sick as a dog.
I didn't throw up because you know, I'm too tough,
too tough obviously, uh. And I was not right for
an hour and ten minutes. Hey, daddy can go through
the tire. Come do this and.
Speaker 2: They come play the game with me. Can I have
twenty dollars? If throw this one? Darted at a balloon?
Speaker 7: There's nowhere to sit down at the fair? What'd you do?
Speaker 5: I thank god? Like the weather was pretty decent. I
walked it off a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not too far away from that, like after
football and after all the hits and everything, Like I
can't even jump on a trampoline if I jump, Yeah,
I can't even do that. Just like, Nope, you need.
Speaker 5: To jump on a trampoline a little bit. It actually
gum on trampoline helps your indigrine system.
Speaker 2: I've also passed out jumping on a trampoline player like football. Yeah,
like twenty sixteen or so.
Speaker 5: Do you have like a lingering bruise on your brain? YEP,
so I bet you could do it. Are you almost
passed out on a No?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 8: Like yeah, like you just crumpled at the bottom.
Speaker 5: Yeah, someone double jumped you. No is a double jump
or double bounce?
Speaker 7: I don't know what do you mean someone double jump
a trampoline? I would say bounce, right?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm talking?
Speaker 9: About Yeah, I'm saying, what are you calling it?
Speaker 7: That's what I thought you were asking. I would say, you're.
Speaker 6: Playing to crack the egg, and somebody's like, oh, I'm
gonna crack the double bounce.
Speaker 5: Love cracked the egg a double bounce, okay, m I
love a trampline. I love a trampoline park. I like
when I go to the trampoline park. You better believe
I'm buying the socks and I'm getting that.
Speaker 11: Hopefully you're not booty blasting a kid like T Ball did.
Speaker 2: Booty blasting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I'm playing dodgeball, though, I.
Speaker 8: Think we have to be careful saying t Bob booty
blasting kid.
Speaker 11: He basically hit a can in the face with his butt.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, all right, I'll hite a kid in the
face with it in the dodgeball RNK. Yeah for sure,
I will Billy Madison that. I don't think anybody doubted that, Bud.
I know, Daniel said these hosts having beta ballot. He's
giving me the ick. No, it sucks due, it's not fun.
It's a bad feeling. I hate it because I like
to go. I like to fish, but I cannot go
offshore fishing.
Speaker 7: So you're like bad motion sickness because.
Speaker 2: So my dad everywhere I can't ride.
Speaker 7: We do.
Speaker 9: We do a bunch of roller coasters and like, but
he can't do spinning in a circle.
Speaker 7: But we've done deep sea fishing.
Speaker 2: You might like roller coasters I can do.
Speaker 9: You must be like, yeah, he can't too, he can't
do this spinning the circle.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm the same way. Like I drive everywhere. If
I ride in the backseat, like within three minutes, I'm just.
Speaker 7: You know, victoria against motion sickness and cors.
Speaker 5: It's not cool. I don't wish it on anybody, all.
Speaker 8: Right, And that is our breakdown of LSU and old Miss.
Speaker 11: It's a good one already broke it down.
Speaker 5: What a lead story we got?
Speaker 11: What more can we say about it?
Speaker 2: Shut out fairs? Yeah, shutout That.
Speaker 11: Wasn't even what we were gonna lead with.

that not top the problem. They see that we did that.
Speaker 10: Yes, we've been throughish, Yes, baby, been too long, but
too long and I can't be.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back here and O TV Wednesday right, yes,
Wednesday morning. Oh yeah, we've got past Tuesday pretty easy
this week. There's been a lot of that.
Speaker 5: Ish talked about Tuesdays for the last couple of Tuesdays.
Speaker 8: But we've been the ones talking in that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think we started that one. We did underrated underrated day.
Speaker 2: Maybe.
Speaker 8: No, that's don't go that far. That's done good that far.
Speaker 2: All right. I want to go around the room and
I want to ask you a pretty simple question. Is
there an elite team this year in college football? Mm?
Speaker 5: Hmm an elite team?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 5: Uh, not not in the definition as you would say
elite in the like the last decade and a half. No,
it's not a there's not an Alabama, not even a
Georgia in the short right, in the short term period.
So no, it's college football is pretty great right now
because there isn't one. It is like this whole college
football season. It is anybody's game. Yep, absolutely, anybody's game.
It's somebody's gonna get There's gonna be some teams you
feel like they're gonna catch their stride. They're going to
like see it every year somebody that a team that's
ultra talented. Maybe they had a couple of games get away,
Maybe they're not playing like they should. Maybe they get
a couple of guys back from injury and they just
catch fire, get hot at the right times. I mean,
we're talking about eighteen to twenty three year old kids
right like, they can make jumps quickly. They can. There's
just there's a team out there. There's a couple of
teams out there that are gonna get hot and and probably,
I mean, somebody's gonna separate themselves at some point.
Speaker 2: Just who's it gonna be?
Speaker 5: And it could be our fight Nelisu Tigers.
Speaker 2: All right, Alandra, is there an elite team in college
football this year?
Speaker 6: There's not one that stands out to me that I
can be like, Okay, yeah, that's a That team is
firing on all cylinders. I feel like they're the elite team. No,
there's not one that's sticking out to me except for maybe,
I don't know, because of their schedule.
Speaker 11: Maybe you can make an argument for Miami.
Speaker 2: But got tests this weekend, right, you know, Florida State
lost the EVA is actually TV's not a bad football.
EVA should be undefeated if CHANDL. Morris just saw the
crosser in front of his face and didn't try to
force the ball first down at the goal line.
Speaker 8: Certainly didn't have that in the parlay. Okay, tite? Is
there any league team in college football?
Speaker 7: Not an elite? But there's two that have stood out
to me?
Speaker 9: All right, I think Ohio State and Oregon should be
one and two, but I wouldn't call them elite Like
Ohiose State has the talent. I think Julian Sayan is
going to continue to get better. I was impressed as
hell with the Oregon at Penn State. That's a young team.
I mean we talked about it. Rankings like they replaced
a lot. Dante Moore looked cool as a cucumber in
that environ. He's going to continue to get better. So
like I wouldn't call him e laite, but those two
have stood down to me and we both know they
got like they got the coaching.
Speaker 2: All right, Do we all agree that ten and two
get you into the college football playoffs?
Speaker 7: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I mean in this in SEC right for sure?
Speaker 2: Well yeah, you know, no offense to the Sun Belt.
I love the fun Belt as much as anybody. Ten
and two is not getting you in the playoff.
Speaker 5: There probably not a SEC either, right uh at the
champs ten and two?
Speaker 8: But yeah, to your point, no, okay, canella shoot? Go
ten and two?
Speaker 2: So you got when you've got South Carolina at Vanderbilt
A and M at Alabama Arkansas or Western Kentucky at
Oklahoma Ulus.
Speaker 9: You could win every SEC game left. They could lose
every SEC game. I mean that's where I'm at with
this team. Come on, they could, Yes, they could if.
Speaker 6: I'm to stay where I like because I was asked this,
I told you I went on uh in Lafayette, right,
and they asked me if I think that LSU is
gonna make the playoff this season? And I was like,
I hate to be a Debbie downer, but I really
don't see how they do.
Speaker 11: And I think that last season it was a disappointment
that we didn't make it to the playoff, and it's.
Speaker 8: Definitely definitely this year.
Speaker 11: It's got to be a disappointment if we don't this year.
Speaker 2: So you got to go six and one. Theoretically, Now,
I'm not saying a nine to three team can't. There
was multiple SEC teams that were nine and three last
year that we had long comer ole Miss Alabama, South Carolina,
so it's possible tending to get you in.
Speaker 11: I hate to say this.
Speaker 5: So you got to go what six and one?
Speaker 11: I hate to say this, but like Texas A and
it looks really good.
Speaker 2: Yes, I do the number six.
Speaker 7: They do. They at more than I thought they would.
Speaker 2: Alburn's one of those teams is just going to fight
like hell and they might not win any and were
they going to fight?
Speaker 9: We talk about it all the time. The A and
M game typically goes to the home team. You do
have them at home. Typically there's there's obviously exceptions to
the rule. I mean, South Carolina is good. It kind
of looked like you a lot of the time, though,
like their offense has been kind of Iffy, you could
win that one.
Speaker 5: You don't.
Speaker 9: You don't have to beat Alabama on the road. Now
we're LSU fans, you would love for them to do that.
You don't have to win that game if you take
if you take care of business at home, l s
U A and m Arkansas. Can you win two of
the three on the road Vanderbilt, Alabama, Oklahoma? You do that,
You're ten and two.
Speaker 2: So much of this is how they utilize this week.
I think we can all agree there with this bye week?
Can you make the adjustments? Are you willing to make
the adjustments that it's going to take to even have
this conversation be real, because right now it's not for me.
But can you make enough adjustments? Can you turn on
the tape see what we see and try to make
the adjustment to add something different to your repertoil right
now that currently is not there?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's how are the people in the building watching
this tape and evaluating their team. Are they watching it
and saying, man, we're playing really good, We're just like
one or two plays away. Or are you really taking
a look and say, okay, there are flaws in what
we are doing. How we're attacking the game from the
offensive perspective. Now the defense, there's things you got to
work on, of course, just like everything every team, the
best teams in the world that's ever been the twenty
nineteen LSU Tigers had to work on things right five
games end of the season, Right, let's not forget how
good this defense is and has been. I don't know.
I can't like say, the rest of the schedule is
there that runs the tempo that olemist does. But that
is the best way to attack this defense is to
go to tempo because you take him out of a
lot of the creative things Blake Baker can do. But
I still think LSU defense is a bad matchup versus
any offense in the SEC that I'm looking at right now.
I don't care South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Alabama looked great on offense,
great Texas A and m Oklahoma, whatever it is, I
don't care who it is. LSU's defense is still a
bad matchup for anybody. So that gives me hope. But
it's how is the offensive side in that building, within
those walls, how are they viewing their performance thus far?
Thus far in the season. Are they saying, man, we're
this close away. We're this close away. We just got
to execute a little bit better on what we're doing
or are they going to say what we're doing is
not good enough? So let's change it. Let's make some adjustments.
It's not a whotel change. We're not ripping everything to
the stud that's.
Speaker 2: A that's a as you know, that's and that's what
you're alluding to. That's a different conversation.
Speaker 5: It's a huge at men, it's night day, right, It's like,
all right, we have to change our game. And then
the problem is is are you we talked about this
on Monday, right though. You got to be willing and
you got to be able, like can you are the
adjustments that need to be made?
Speaker 2: Can you do that?
Speaker 5: Was there ever a foundation of those changes? And we're
talking about you know, like like running game, let's just
simplify it, running game, power plays, more counterplays, adding those
was there the foundation in the principles of those blocking assignments,
of those plays, of those mindsets of the track for
the running back. Were those set in the spring? That
was that foundation set in training camp and just hasn't
been a part of a game plan because I can
tell you one week's not long enough to install power
and get good at it. No, just because you're gonna
run it doesn't mean you're good at it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So.
Speaker 5: You know, what are those changes or it's all about
the mindset? How are you going to attack it. You
can't put too much on people, you can't put too
much on on the kids to learn, but you do
have to make some changes because obviously what we're doing
is not working.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so that's a great breakdown because that's like,
that's my thought process too, Like are you going to
look at the tape and be like, actually make a
play here? Make are Yeah? Well, because that's not that's
not right now. It's not you.
Speaker 5: And even if that is the case, like we've we've
watched film, right, we've watched film ole miss game and
some of these plays, like let's take the two point
version that we we studied on Monday, it's one block
away from walking into the end zone. So those are
little things like maybe it's the messaging, Yeah, the coaches
messaging to the lineman, to the tight ends, to the
running back on the teaching of this is what we're doing,
this is the goal of this play. Maybe take some
calls away from the offensive lineman because they're talking. They're
chirping to each other a lot. Yeah, they're making a
lot of calls. Maybe simplify the calls, like all right,
let's you have two calls on this running play. It's
either this or that. You don't have four or five calls,
and you know what if it's not the absolute. So
this is what coaches do. Sometimes they try to make
every play and every call in every assignment. They try
to give the kids or the player's ability to make
every play perfect. Running scheme, all right, this guy is okay,
his leverage it on me is not head up. He's
about three inches to my left, So I'm gonna make
a call. So because I got better leverage. They try
to make everything perfect. Football is not a perfect game.
It's about playing at one hundred percent. And sometimes I
see those linemen looking around. Their eyes are a little undisciplined.
They're not sure of who they got because you know,
if the center and guard communicate on a blocking scheme,
well that's got to be related relay to the tackle,
and then if there's a tight end, that's got to
be related to the tight end.
Speaker 2: Like everybody has to.
Speaker 5: Be familiar, and then they're running back, he needs to
know kind of the gist of what they're as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, at running back, if you're just getting the football
and you're trying to react after the fact and you
don't know what the offensive linemen are trying to get
done in front of you, right, Yeah, that's a problem
because then you're not playing full speed.
Speaker 5: And when we talk about communication, it's like, you know,
there's five offensive linemen, there's four defensive linemen usually, and
then there's linebackers behind him. So those five are going
to block five somebody's going to the next level of
block and linebacker. But depending on the front, depending on
where the defensive tackles line up in the gaps, it
could be the center that goes to the second level.
It could be the guard, could be the tackle, It
could be somebody different every single play. Yeah, they're getting
confused on those looks at what it looks to be.
It looks so I think you could go and simplify
a lot of things you're doing and say, hey, guess what,
lineman offense. It's not going to be the exact perfect play,
but I want you to fire off because you know,
as a running back. Yes, even if a lineman misses
a block or doesn't get the perfect block, if he does.
Speaker 2: It full speed and he.
Speaker 5: Shows you where he's getting beat it gives you a
read Like if I throw at a linebacker's outside shoulder
and he swims inside as long as I threw and
made it obviously running back that I attacked him and
he's beating me. At least I know where I'm getting
beat at. The worst thing to do is to be
unsure of who you're blocking and kind of pitter patter
in the hole and not attack. You got to engage, right, Yeah, Hey, guys,
I don't care if the call's not right. Engage, engage
full speed.
Speaker 2: That that cleans up a lot, even And that's a
great point, even if you're wrong sometimes if you're adamant
in what you're doing, even if it is sometimes like.
Speaker 8: Not perfect, like you're talking about like I'm.
Speaker 2: Supposed to be head up on this guy, but I'm
on the outside shoulder of this guy blocking wise, But
you're doing it with authority, and that cleans it up
for me. The running back there, And you know, I
think part of it is because of the scheme. As
we've talked about and having options to throw on most
of these run plays, like so that that gets that
half a second full second off for the offensive linemen
where their feet are flat. Your feet never want to
be flat on a running play. And so what we're
talking about is just and we said it yesterday, we'll
say it again, like just go to the line, here's
the run call, here's what it's going to be. Let's
do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got two maybe three calls. Yeah, but it's
not it's And we've talked ever since when we watched
the Clemson film, like we've kind of talked about it,
just you and I text them back and before it
like it looks like they're trying to be too perfect.
Looks like they're they're thinking too much. They're trying to
you know, I'm supposed to guard and tackle. We're supposed
to guard. Suppose I'm to give presents to the guy
the center's on. I'm supposed to give him a good
arm and then then work up to the second level. Yeah,
it looks like they're trying to like they're trying to
be perfect, perfect, so perfect that they're not getting to
that second level on they're so perfect on their first assignment.
They're not doing their main assignment.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like this is the book.
Speaker 2: It's as hand placement here and then this guy's gonna
come take over here, and yeah, that's that's good in
the playbook when you're drawing the lines right there. But sometimes,
like if you've got a combo block and for whatever reason,
so I'm the guard and I'm on the defensive tackle,
and the defensive tackle right, he's not disciplined. He's going
to go try to do something outside of what the
call calls for.
Speaker 8: Well, i'm chasing. Let that guy go. That guy took
himself out of play.
Speaker 2: And then you have to quickly say, okay, well my
assignment was to work from this defensive tackle to the linebacker.
And if the defensive tackle immediately let's say he just
goes inside, but you were trying to get to his
outside shoulder anyway, let him go go to the next
level immediately. And then if you do that with authority,
then that cleans it up for the running back. So
it sounds like a small thing, but like in the
scheme of things, it just makes a clean picture for
the guy and the ball carrier. And hope is they
you know, they worked on that and got some of
that to continue as you get ready for some.
Speaker 5: Just kind of like sloop back to the original question.
Can they get it fixed? Yes they can, but they
have to be very intentional about what they're changing, what
they're adding, what they're taking out, but very intentional about
on the coaching points and how we can actually make
changes that the guys can handle and being installed in
a week and a half. So coaching has to be
very intentional.

Speaker 1: Tiger's turn Talkers. This is off the bench.
Speaker 7: The chicken shoes just right up from me, and she
got the hands from me.
Speaker 6: The funest no.
Speaker 11: Man in the Sunday When that's OK, because I wait
for my key and just listen in my position like
a show stop.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back here O TV.
Speaker 8: How about this?
Speaker 2: Flynn got a little pat on the back here inside
to buy you four chat from our guy Daniel. How
about that? Remember before Flynn joined the show and we
all thought he would be late and absent more than
t Bob. That's a bad take. You right, that's right,
that was a bad take. It was probably I take.
It's definitely mine head in the air.
Speaker 5: You know, we like to take accountability on this show.
We celebrate our you know, good takes, probably more than
you should, but we also talk about the bad ones.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm glad you mentioned that. I don't want
to get to that, but I will give a shout
out to Flynn. He's not only has he been here
every day, he's here before pretty much anybody else. He's
here very early. Sometimes you walk in and he's got
a look on his face where you're like, oh, you're tired,
you're sleepy, But he's here. He's here and ready to
go out. You know, Lake Bob doesn't hasn't happened yet either.
Speaker 5: Taitae is the first one here one hundred percent of
the time for sure.
Speaker 8: Unless he's wearing a hat, then that means he was
running late.
Speaker 2: Is that true?
Speaker 8: Yes, if Taylor has a hat on, he was running
dude the dow.
Speaker 2: Yes fair.
Speaker 6: If Taylor has a hat on, he woke up late, right, Yeah, I.
Speaker 7: Woke up late. But also I don't have to do
the hair, so it kind of equals out.
Speaker 2: You do it you do it every day because you
I mean, you're an early If you have a hat on,
that means a little late.
Speaker 9: I hit the snooze about three or four times. But
Flip got here this morning, six fifteen.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: I walked in, ready to study, ready to go. Landry,
You're never you're about the third because you're usually working out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, today I got here pretty early, though.
Speaker 5: Jake, you're here for for you pretty early. You're in
the forties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, today was a drop Jackson off workout.
Speaker 5: I want to say early forties too.
Speaker 6: Sometimes Jake gets here, but he like sits in his
car until.
Speaker 9: Sure Jake hot boxes before the show.
Speaker 2: I look out the window.
Speaker 7: I'm like, it's Jake here, my foggy gloss.
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you. If I got a song
on the playlist and it's hitting and it just started,
I'm gonna finish it.
Speaker 11: I like. I came on Shovel the other day and
it made me lo o L.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that song.
Speaker 5: What a great song I heard it. We need to
find people up.
Speaker 2: I'll walk around the house and I'm singing that song,
and I know Cay's like, what the hell are you
listening to? Are you singing jungle?
Speaker 5: I want that song to be like a segment we do,
or it's playing in the background the whole time.
Speaker 2: God, yeah, it sounds good. Vibes. Maybe our new segment.
Speaker 6: This is so cute, Bilbo and the chat said, my
daughter just they all Taylor, wake up.
Speaker 11: It's so cute.
Speaker 2: All right. So Flynn made a really good point about
you know, this show, we try to be transparent because
we can't celebrate the victories. But oftentimes in our profession,
as you know, some people are liketing to tell you
when they were wrong.
Speaker 8: And I do, I really do.
Speaker 2: I swear like I find it very important to be
able to say, hey, hand up, like I was definitely
wrong on this situation. It didn't play out the way
I thought. Or maybe this team's better, maybe they're worse
than I thought. So if I asked y'all around the
room in college football where maybe you felt like you
were the most wrong, like in the totality so far
of the season, would you have an answer ready to go?
Because I got one. Yeah, go ahead, I have to.
Speaker 8: The Clemson Tigers. I thought Clemson was gonna be really good.
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, Kate Clubnick coming back I thought
the defensive line that they had that everybody told me about,
and honestly it was it was on me because I
did it kind of glazing over like who they were.
And then as I got ready for the l Shu game,
I started to watch God Bless you. I started to
watch more and more tape and I'm sitting there and
then Matt did a great job breaking down Kate Clubnick.
I'm like, okay, well, I was told it was something different,
and I started watching the defensive lineman and I'm like,
these those.
Speaker 10: Two guys are the are the Actually the week leading
up to Jimbo had told you go watch the day
and I'm like, okay, like these guys people some people
say that they're number one on their big board.
Speaker 8: All right, I'm like, oh, these guys are nut number one.
Speaker 2: They should not be. And so, like I was heavy
Clemson just because, like you see what they do a
year ago. You knew they had people coming back and
they were strong in the front seven and strong at receiver.
It's like, yeah, but if you do a deep dive,
you notice that, well, kay, Cleming's got some issues. They
don't have a true running back because you can't move
a receiver to running back and think you're going to
get all the benefits that a natural running back.
Speaker 8: Is going to give you.
Speaker 2: You start to do a little deeper of a dive
and so like, that's hand up on me. I think
I missed on Clemson as much as I missed on anybody.
Speaker 8: Hell, I had them, what do we have them?
Speaker 10: To think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I think we had them two here or
somewhere in the top five for sure. And then like
off campus, like I think we had them number one
because I was like, there's.
Speaker 7: A turning production. How could you not?
Speaker 2: And boil boy? Did I have that completely wrong? And look,
hand up? Most of it's because I didn't do a
deep enough dive. And when I did, you saw some frauds.
Speaker 5: That's another team that they need to look in the
mirror and fee willing and able to fix some stuff.
Because do you think Dabo's changing much? No, look at
his messaging to the media. I ain't changing because I won.
I won eight years ago. I'll go win somewhere else
if you don't want me. He ain't going to the
beach though, proms that, So that's a lie to he
goes to the beach every year.
Speaker 7: Is like the type that lives at the beach.
Speaker 10: No doubt anybody else got one where they were. I
got one at the top of my head. Now, I'm
sure there's plenty of others.
Speaker 5: The guy I was wrong about, the guy that I
don't know if his nose has ever felt oxygen before.
Speaker 2: Because he breathes out his mouth.
Speaker 5: Carson Beck hmmm, said he was gonna have a bad
year Miami, Miami. I said that Miami isn't going to
realize how good cam Ward is until this year. Yeah,
because I think he covered up a lot last year.
Maybe that was wrong, because they're pretty darn good. Carson
Beck playing pretty darn good football. There's no way that
guy who gets his Ferrari stolen cheats on the Cavender
Twins allegedly not the relationship stat I bet they're mad
at them. That's exactly right. You're almost there. Yeah, I'm
telling you. Never breathe out his nose once. Didn't know
its even the thing he could do. Its an option
for him.
Speaker 2: All right. Yeah, that's a bad one. That's a bad one. Elanja,
tat do we have one?
Speaker 7: I got a quick one.
Speaker 9: You know, we all talk about Tennessee so I'm not
gonna go. We've got all talked about them, and we've
brought it up before. I was wrong about Vanderbilt. I
thought last year was just going to be a flash
in the fan because well, they're Vanderbilt. You and I
we actually I think it was the day Jake had
to leave early. We were talking, like, is what happens
when teams figure out Diego Bavia?
Speaker 7: What happens when you.
Speaker 2: Have no kind of snuck up players can't figure out
he kind of snuck.
Speaker 7: Up on people.
Speaker 5: They're better this year, Like, oh, for sure better this year.
Speaker 9: Going into the off season, I looked at it and said, Okay,
people hype them up because they beat Bama. They went
seven and six a year ago, so like, good for Vandy,
not great. I'm like, can they figure out Bobby and
what happens to they're five? And oh they're better this
year than they were a year ago.
Speaker 7: I didn't have that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like that one. Is Vanderbilt the grittiest team
in the SEC? Yeah, the team in the conference.
Speaker 2: You know, they got a fullback as their head coach,
uh Alandra.
Speaker 6: And like just someone who's just a psycho at quarterback,
which we love yes, I'm trying to think, not that
I don't get anything wrong, but I just can't like, oh,
you know what, I am not a Bama's burning person,
but I did last week we talked about it. I
was like, I'm not very interested by them and the
Georgia game and all that, and I still didn't watch it.
But maybe I was wrong about that about Bama not
being exciting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I don't know.
Speaker 9: Yah, pretty good he ignited that offense. And we can
all be wrong about ty Simpson. Like, I know we
took I know we took a wait and see.
Speaker 2: Approach, but all right, yeah we got a break, but
Bama is certainly not burning. All right, more O TB.
Will we come back here? Laugh from the Raisin Kine studio,
off the bench? All right, what's better than one? Do secis? Matthew?
Speaker 5: That would be two dough Sekis.
Speaker 8: What do they call that, Matthew?
Speaker 5: Uh? They going for on seconds, going for dose. They
call it a wind streak.
Speaker 2: I don't know like that. I do like that we
got one dose, Sekis, if we had to. They call
that a winning streak. It has been done before, and
you can go on a winning streak too, if you
go for dose and go four dose secis. They got
a website as well. Matt sold you about it before,
No sechis dot com. Right, you got to verify that
you're twenty one, so be careful, but you got to
go to the website.
Speaker 8: Check them out. Do Sechis dooseekies dot com.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, cold delicious Mexican logger. Just think about it.
You know, iced down about thirty two and a half
thirty three degrees. Slice open the line, man, if you're

Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, locked in on LSU football twenty four
to seven.
Speaker 3: You're listening to off the bench.
Speaker 2: Come on, come on, just to everybody every day? Is
this because Firefest sold the Lime Wire? Is that why
you're so excited? Is this how this found its way back.
Speaker 10: To LimeWire Rexam LimeWire bought Firefest.
Speaker 2: That's a real thing. That's a real headline that really happened.
Speaker 5: I don't care. It's a jam. So it went from

about like patient zero definitely came.
Speaker 11: From firefight, the guy that needed water.
Speaker 5: I hadn't seen the documentary, but I feel like I
could tell you exactly what happens.
Speaker 8: Probably, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's some there's some things in there
that I don't think you're ready for. Bud. I just
don't know that you're ready for him.
