you were so just baffled yesterday, but it was in baffled.
Speaker 2: The fact that you just dismissed hard shell tacos was
it was. It was foreign to me.
Speaker 4: The fact that you eat hard shell talcos is shocking.
I guess I think. I guess that does have a
lot of shriekport vibes. I don't know why. Oh, it's
a nowhere thing anyway.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure my dad's like soft tacos. But you know,

Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: They used to sell like you know these platters, like
hard shell taco platters, and you could get like, you know,
fifteen to twenty of them, and like for us because
growing up, we were balling on a budget, to say
the least.
Speaker 2: And so like when we got that, like that was
a treat. That's a big deal.
Speaker 5: We had Pancho's as well, did you in Tee Town? Yeah,
Raise the Little Flag.
Speaker 2: That's definitely the biggest restaurant y'all had.
Speaker 4: Uh No, but nobody, nobody went there. No one liked it.

Speaker 9: The computer is running some updates, but it's fine because
it's gonna work.
Speaker 3: Listen, after the updates run, everybody, all three of us
can help Jordan out in this situation. Jordan, here's this,
here's the deal and I mean this. Yes, the Morning
Show never ever ever gets like the benefit of the doubt.
The Morning Show is whatever, Like the worst case scenario
is the Morning Show is going to get it.
Speaker 8: This is this is right now.
Speaker 3: Nobody, that's Taylor's birthday, Taylor's birthday, Yeah, answer the phone.
Speaker 2: No, it's just he's on the plane right now to Orlando.
Speaker 3: But the Morning Show nobody, like the early bird gets
the worm. We all believe that here, nobody else does.
So nobody else is going to be here for when
we have issues. Nobody else is going to answer the
phone when we have set issues.
Speaker 8: Trust me. Yeah, Elandra did help, but it's just something
I don't know. Hey, it's good keep saying that. It's
not like I'm amped up like this is this is
this is.
Speaker 4: A good energy though. It's good energy.
Speaker 3: Hey, and Jordan, y'all also learned like if somebody does
something overnight, they just don't tell you about it, and
you figure out when you get here. So you've been Look,
I got here at six thirty. You were already here
in chair. You were doing what you were supposed to be.
So you're good. Hey, saint the show. We're gonna sit
here and yell at you. We're all good.
Speaker 2: I'll start yelling at you probably when you start giving
your saints. Takes a little bit later.
Speaker 7: On when he says he loves Tim Tebow.
Speaker 8: Oh, my first of all, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: No, yeah.
Speaker 8: Oh he wasn't here. He was. Yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 8: What happened was.
Speaker 3: I'm about tired of seeing all these lists, by the way,
but growing up, growing up Tebow.
Speaker 8: When he got to Denver, I was around twenty eleven,
so I was I like Tebo at the time, I
was doing a little hit the tea and all that.
So I said that on OTB one day. I didn't
realize at the time. It was like maybe like my
first couple of months here. I didn't realize at the
time how much T Bob and Jake hated Tim Tebow.
Speaker 2: And hate Tim Tebow.
Speaker 8: It's just they let me know. They let me know
how Yeah, you see, I was hitting the t yeah
when he's Denver. So like everybody, I'm an underdog guy.
I'm an underdog guy. So yeah, so the real underdog Denver,
you know, there was he can't throw the football and
all this, and I'm a kid, I'm like, oh, he
will be able to do it, blah blah blah blah,
and you know, it didn't really do it. But I
mean that that playoff game wasn't It didn't, but yeah,
you know, he he didn't ultimately become what he was
supposed to, but he did have that good playoff game,
which I I still got the Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 5: Matter of fact, he had the good playoff game because
he was so disrespected by the defense that they played
thirteen guys in the box.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the various Thomas took a six yard slint to.
Speaker 4: The That's what I think about in the dick.
Speaker 5: If you look up the encyclopedia and you look up
the name underdog right there, t BO right there has
been winner t BO.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm you first round pick?
Speaker 8: Yeah, well yeah, you know Johnny Minzol's first round pick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't consider him an underdog either. So it's sorry, Jordan.
Look it's all right. You know these lists that are
coming out with him as the all time starting quarterback.
Speaker 2: Are they're a take. It's a take. It's a take,
certainly a take.
Speaker 7: What I don't agree with?
Speaker 2: Elandra? How you doing doing good?
Speaker 7: It is? We are over? I do really feel like Tuesday?
Speaker 2: Is that hush?
Speaker 7: Also?
Speaker 9: Okay, I need a We were talking about my other fans.
I'm in two fantasy leagues this season, and we were
talking about the one the other one that I'm in yesterday,
and it's still kind of like boiling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you basically have me at running back.
Speaker 7: In I was the eleventh pick and they didn't snake it.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I've never heard of that.
Speaker 4: They didn't snake it.
Speaker 9: No, and I was the eleventh pick. Literally, my running
back room is in shambles.
Speaker 7: Who's Nick Chubb? Nick Chubb is my starting running back?
Recodouble his rby two.
Speaker 9: So it's some people from Mark and then some of
their significant others and stuff.
Speaker 3: They don't know what they're doing. They're not They said,
your raft up. Somebody from this job? Yeah, who did it?
So give me a name?
Speaker 7: So Michelle set it up.
Speaker 9: Her husband's the one that doesn't do the snake, and
I'm like, Daniel, you're going to catch these hands. And
Daniel's all happy because he has like an A plus
draft grade.
Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't give himself the first.
Speaker 9: Pick, so no, it's randomized, but he has but he
just targeted. He did have a good pick, and I
was like, of course you have an A plus, we
have an F. My roster got graded an F. But
my other fantasy league, I like a pretty good roster.
I'm confident in my other fantasy league. My quarterback pick
I started my first.
Speaker 8: Round for the non snake. What was the first round pick?
Your eleventh pick?
Speaker 7: I got Brian Thomas Junior.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, good.
Speaker 7: I mean everybody's gone by.
Speaker 5: If you snake it, everybody feels good about right.
Speaker 7: I'm like, the NFL doesn't even hope people like this.
Speaker 4: I know this. That's a that's a bush league league.
Speaker 2: Like all like my fantasy advice every year.
Speaker 3: I got two things that I usually try to tell
people because uh, you know, I usually pick a lot
of people's like fantasy drafts or whatever. And the two
things I always say is, if you want to win
the league, like go running back over a receiver. I
got no receivers, and I know they are usually top
picks and stuff, but like running backs truly win fantasy
leagues if you have two good ones.
Speaker 2: So I'm sorry about.
Speaker 4: Your other teams they do. If it's a PPR league.
Speaker 3: Well, like that's about like an all around running back
that's going to have like sixty catches.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that one, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like so like if I got that option three of them, yeah,
and you draft one of them, then you get like
a ground and pound guy for your second running back
and you windn't league. So I got in my exactly
like perfect, your perfect. That's also perfect. He's gonna catch
a ton of footballs. Certainly it's a deep receiver.
Speaker 8: It's always a lot more receivers out the running backs
running back.
Speaker 3: And then the second advice always give because look, you're
an eleven eleven team league was twelve oay, twelve twelve
team league, So eleven of y'all are going to suck
and lose, right, yeah, so you're going to be a loser,
so you might as well be gritty.
Speaker 5: Select cole us check with a pick. Yeah, if you
know what I mean, if you don't snake it. I mean,
it's it's good the people the top five picks are.
Speaker 4: The little people a good roster.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's disgusting. I don't know who idea that was notating.
Speaker 4: Actually I'd quit and screw the whole.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you should make him stay on the
couch for at least a week.
Speaker 7: I put it on auto draft because I was like,
it doesn't even matter.
Speaker 5: Like the last five or six picks, y'all get together,
band together, trade each other the best.
Speaker 4: Like created your own one super game. Not going to
be good.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, didn't share the money.
Speaker 4: If you win, and no one's gonna like get the
commissioner is going to be pissed.
Speaker 5: But the commissioner did this to himself. He did this
to himself. You're probably still not going to be good
enough to win, that's the thing.
Speaker 7: I think.
Speaker 9: I drafted like six six people on my own, and
then I was like, you know what, I don't even
care anymore.
Speaker 7: Everybody in my que keeps getting grabbed up before I
can even get the chance to get them. It might
even my kicker got taken before. And I was like,
what is happening for kicker?
Speaker 8: Dicker? The kicker.
Speaker 7: He was my second pick.
Speaker 2: Who is the first one, probably the Cowboys kicker.
Speaker 9: Yes, Brandon Aubrey. So it was Brandon Aubrey Dicker, and
then somebody took Dicker and I ended up with McPherson
with the bangs.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 3: He's either gonna nail a sixty one yard or down
the middle or miss a thirty six yarder.
Speaker 4: I got on.
Speaker 8: I feel like you need a kicker for the good
offense or your offense, or or you can go like
a bad team that you know that they're not gonna
be able to score, but you know they're gonna be
kicking a lot of field goals game. Yeah, that's what
I'm saying, Blake, he's he's a captain. He's a captain.
They know what's up.
Speaker 3: He's gonna be the best, the youngest looking captain in
an NFL history.
Speaker 8: Yeah, gotta beopy groupie, definitely get Yeah, he still get
his ID.
Speaker 2: For sure, Like he looks so young. What was it
one time, Jordan didn't he get like.
Speaker 8: A kicker?
Speaker 2: Were you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I'm on the team now, ain't you're doing? Need you
get out of here, kid? Scram See.
Speaker 8: I used to have a lot of groupie jokes until
I saw him at a media in the Super Bowl
and we're kind of the same height, and I was like,
you know, it's not funny no more.
Speaker 7: Actually a little I was like, you know, it's.
Speaker 8: Not not funny anymore.
Speaker 9: Hundred hell's the year down there group him and Diego
Pavia made me feel.
Speaker 5: Here this is the first year that I'm fantasy. I've
been doing fantasy for a while. Yeah, usually in the
same groups. But I think everyone you and I used
to interest in the league together. Yeah, it kind that
I was in another league with a buddy mine I
played with and his his people. He grew up with
this first year not doing it at all pretty much
because everyone kind of lost interest. But I lost interest
last year because I was way more into the daily fantasy.
I'm I love the daily Fantasy me.
Speaker 3: So we get two entries and me and my oldest
son we each pick one, and that's.
Speaker 5: How I'll do one and Huck will do one, and
then sometimes like the girls would like to do one, so.
Speaker 2: It hucks like six l su guys.
Speaker 4: No, he's kind of.
Speaker 5: Into It's like it's kind of he got into like
liking football and loving NFL football and all the players,
and it got into the sports cards after that and
all that stuff. But yeah, I got way more into
the daily stuff than I did the league. But me too,
I am going to miss through the league, even though
I kind of wasn't super interested in it, you know,
kind of once it's gone type deal, then you miss it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm not gonna miss when you just
say NFL and NFL football, it's a National Football League.
Speaker 7: National Football League fotball.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I didn't think about it like that, but that
is true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you what are we talking about?
Speaker 2: You know, I said it yesterday.
Speaker 3: You're like, yeah, NFL football, football, love the National Football League?
Speaker 4: So what football? National Football League football?
Speaker 7: A little redundant. But it's fine, it's fine, it's.
Speaker 8: A job done.
Speaker 2: I was just in my feels about you making fun
of my hard tacos.
Speaker 5: I know it's I mean, it's a tough look on you. Honestly,
it's not very gritty.
Speaker 3: Oh so the thing that's soft is gritty, I got you. Yeah,

Speaker 8: Rude, here we go.
Speaker 4: Everybody living it up said this day.

Speaker 2: All right, let's go ahead and get this show started.
Speaker 1: It's time to get glowing. Courtesy of go flow ivy Spa,
where hydration, vitamins and a summer ready glow are always

Speaker 3: Go flowiv dot com is the website. When you go

membership packages they have. You can book your appointment right

scoonch fool you. It's still warm outside, it's still humid,

them out. Get those vitamines, get vitamins, get hydrated. Right there,
go flow IV.
Speaker 3: All right, we have a new AP top twenty five
and we'll kind of give you some teams that got
in here for the first time, some teams that dropped
out of the rankings, and you got some shake up
there towards the top. So when you look at some
of the biggest fallers, Alabama goes down thirteen spots to
number twenty one. Texas goes down six spots to number seven.
Clemson goes down four spots to number eight. Notre Dame
goes down three spots to number nine, But Alabama certainly
the biggest faller in the top twenty five. Florida State
makes their debut at number fourteen. Utah makes their debut
at number twenty five. What does the rest of the
top ten look like, Well, let's start at ten. South Carolina.
It moves up three spots to number ten. Notre Dame,
as I mentioned, they fall three spots to number nine.
Clemson they dropped those four spots to number eight. Texas,
as we said, drop six spots to number seven. Oregon
comes in at number six. They move up one spot.
They also get a first place vote. The Miami Hurricanes
move up five spots to number five. The Georgia buld
Dogs move up one spot to number four. The LSU
Fighting Tigers move up six spots to number three. They
also receive three first place votes. The Penn State Nitney
Lyons stay right where they're at at number two. Seven
first place votes, and the Ohio State Buckeyes move up
two spots number one team the AP top twenty five
with fifty five first place votes now over. In the
coaches poll, the top five is Oregon five, LSU four,
Georgia three.
Speaker 2: Penn State two, and Ohio State one. Not really.
Speaker 3: Surprise, are shocked really with LSU not being number one.
You know, Ohio State had a massive win. They were
ranked ahead of you already. The media loves Penn State.
They love them, absolutely, love them all all season long,
over on off campus.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who I had on.
Speaker 3: They wanted to wax poetic about Penn State all interview long.
Speaker 2: So I'm not a believer right now. Do I think
they're really talented? I do. Do I think they have limitations?
I do.
Speaker 3: Do I think they need to go win a couple
of big games against ranked teams, Absolutely, But I can
see why. You know where they've got last year the
semi final with a chance to win that game, and
they feel like they've upgraded on their offense, even though
you miss Tyler Warren. That is a unicorn that is
hard to replace. But look, I'm not going to argue
Ohio State one Penn State if you want to happen
two sure, LSU at three, love it, Georgia at four
they looked great. Miami moving up to number five and
a people, yeah they should. I mean they'd beat a
good Notre Dame team. So I don't really have you
know too much? You know too much? Anks and LSU
being three and not two or one, no, I mean you,
I mean look at the top ten. There's no surprises
here to me.
Speaker 5: You talked about Penn State, and I mean it seems
it's nauseating, and it seems like every year it's like, well,
this is the year, this is the year they got this.
Well they got this, they got the quarterback. We won't
know who Penn State is for a month. I'm looking
at so.
Speaker 2: They get Nevada FIU and then Villaan Nova.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then finally we get to figure out what
kind of team they have on September twenty seventh, where
they play Orgon.
Speaker 2: Finally that's the Yeah, that's the white out game.
Speaker 5: That is going to be I mean, I mean, goodness, gracious,
like like, okay, so they're going to be two on
this list for at least three more weeks. Yeah, I
mean barring Ohio State doing something. So it's not going
to really probably not gonna matter what LSU unless LSU
blows out Florida next week. That's probably this this this
list probably is not going to change that much, just
because Penn State is a bunch of a bunch of
babies and they scheduled three terrible games open up the game.
Speaker 3: But I do think their fans are excited about the
first three games of the year. They get to go
watch them play Nevada, FIU and Villanova.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Good, that's a good point, real good point.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're just building up to that white out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Organs isn't like that much better. They play
Oklahoma State this week than they have Northwest at least
they're they're playing our fourteen, right.
Speaker 3: And like they're playing Oregon State, which is, you know,
considered that what you want, but that's a rival for them.
They were in the power for forever and now they're
kind of in this purgatory of going back to the
Group of six.
Speaker 2: But I mean, it's better than what Penn State's playing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Penn States is pretty pretty roch.
Speaker 3: And when Oregon scheduled at Oklahoma State game, like Oklahoma
State was you know, vuying for Big Golf championships, right,
and they just happened to suck last year when they
were picked second in the league in the preseason, right right.
Speaker 5: But looking at this list, I mean the biggest move
on this list is, you know, Houston, we have Florida
State now, like they go from not ranked to jumping
up to four fourteen. Yeah, that's that's a big jump.
And you know Alabama.
Speaker 4: Thirteen and so they they did it right, they did it.
Speaker 5: You know, they put Florida State ut from ranked to
be in ahead and like we said, yes, I rankings
don't really work that way. They don't really care a
lot of times who wins the head to head, especially
early on. But they did it the right way. I mean,
Alabama deserves absolutely deserved to drop down all the way
to twenty one.
Speaker 3: And Alabama's got an interesting schedule when you look at
like who they're playing and what they have coming up
after what we saw you know in Tallahassee opening, Like,
I don't I don't really know.
Speaker 2: If they're going to.
Speaker 3: Find it like they like oftentimes when they lose a
game and like a game like this, they don't. But
even like when they did have like a hiccup, like
they were able to get right back on track and
find their way. But I don't know that the schedule,
if they don't fix it pretty quickly, is going to
allow for that. All Right, So they got Louisiana Monroe
this week, like we all remember they beat him in
two thousand and seven, But that's not gonna happen probably,
Like I'd be completely shocked. A lot of people have
you el Monroe's the worst team in the FBS, But
then you got Wisconsin. Now it's at home, but you
have Wisconsin, right, They've got enough players. Certainly they're going
to be physical. That's what you had an issue with
against Florida State. But then listen to the rest of
their schedule. You go after Wisconsin on September the twenty seventh,
you go at Georgia. The next week, you go Vanderbilt
at home, who beat you last year, has a running
quarterback that gave you fits in week one. Then you
go to Missouri, then you got Tennessee, then you go
to South Carolina.
Speaker 2: Right, So.
Speaker 3: Four running quarterbacks in a row, actually five running quarterbacks
in a row with Georgia, Vanderbilt Missouri, Tennessee, South Carolina,
which gave you fits in week number one, and then
you got LSU, and then you got Oklahoma, who's got
that's right.
Speaker 4: A running quarterback?
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, Eastern Illinois Tony Romo's not coming through that door.
But then you've got the Iron Bowl with Jackson Arnold,
who's that Yep, you guessed it, bull threat running quarterback.
They better fix that issue right now because they face
off with some of the best dual threat quarterbacks in
the nation in that schedule, and the one time that
they don't outside of Eastern Illinois is the best pocket
passer in the nation. I I'm not saying they're going
to have a losing record or anything, but eight and
four is a real possibility for this Alabama team.
Speaker 2: And I can make a case for seven and five.
Speaker 5: That was my prediction yesterday. Seven and five. Goodn't seven
and five? Yeah, that schedule looks brutal, brutal.
Speaker 3: This isn't This isn't even like uh sounds like Florida schedule.
This isn't necessarily like oh my gosh, you know, Alabama, Like,
I'm not little brothering this whole thing like that. That's
that's just not what I'm going to do. But I'm
just looking at it from what I know of the
teams they're playing and how they looked and where they
really struggled in Week one. And Castalogas is a very
athletic quarterback, but he doesn't have the arm talent to
go with the running ability that some of these cats got.
Speaker 8: Especially he ain't Leonora Sellers ain't Sellers.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 3: I think Diego Poppy has got better arm talent. I mean,
Rebula looked really good in his opening game. It was
against Central Arkansas, but I mean he ain't John Matier either.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying is like Alabama, well, forget Alabama.
Florida State just looks so much more physical than Alabama.
I don't never really remember seeing Alabama just just like that.
Speaker 5: It was uncharacteristic. It was uncharacteristic tendencies that they have.
They were quitting, they weren't finishing through the play, They
got loafs. I mean, we saw mister coach thirty. We
did this as LSU fans a couple of years ago. Yeah,
and it was like your defensive linemen and linebackers are
giving up when they get hands put on him. Yep,
when they get blocked, they just it was uncharacteristic.
Speaker 8: Oh you got me.
Speaker 4: And it's not any better.
Speaker 5: When like I just pulled up the Alabama football you know,
portion of the ESPN website to see their schedule and everything.
Like every time I see a picture or an interview
with the head coach, the Bower like he has got
the most beta face I've ever seen look like.
Speaker 4: And I know he's a great coach.
Speaker 5: And we talked about yesterday, like if they would have
hired him, like it would have been like LSU's coach.
He'd be like, oh man, what a great record, But
like he just looks like a sad puppy a lot,
and like I don't know because all the pictures are
from that game, so I know he's not happy, and
I know he's has a good track record, and I
know he's a good head coach, and I know it's
an impossible job.
Speaker 2: One thirteen and seventeen in his career as a he.
Speaker 5: And that's a crazy record and it is an impossible
job for however, good to Nick Saban after the run
that they had, but like the pictures just don't I mean,
it is total beta face.
Speaker 8: Man, So you're really just saying he just doesn't look SEC.
Speaker 5: It doesn't well as of right now, it's not looking
that gritty. Yeah, I know, it's okay, we're overreacting after
week one. I get it, and like these polls mean
absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4: I got it. But it's good talking, that's what It's
a good metric to have.
Speaker 5: But I'm looking here at this Alabama schedule that it's
not going to get any easier. And I had just
looked at the schedule for the Orgon Ducks because I'm like,
all right, where are they going to be matched up?
Because everybody loves them, they got a first place vote?
How are they get a first place vote? And their
schedule compared to what you just said about Alabama is
Oklahoma State, Northwestern, Oregon State. Then they got Penn State
of course, an Indiana team which is the only other
ranked opponent. They have Rutgers, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, USC than Washington.
Like compare that to the road that Alabama and SEC
teams have to go through. Yeah, And I'm I don't
want to like getting the big argument SEC versus Big
ten or anything, but like there is no even if
Oregon maybe that's why they're getting first place votes is
because of that type of strength, that strength to schedule.
I don't know, but there is no comparison between what
you just read off. So Caylen Bower, he's got to
change his face pretty quick.
Speaker 4: Can the Boor?
Speaker 2: Is there anything you can do about your face?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean, y'all go look look at the pictures. Just
pull up Google it Kaylen de boor pictures.
Speaker 9: I also feel like he doesn't ever incite like excitement
into me for any sort of reason, Like whenever you
see clips out of training camp or at practice or
something like that, you see and hear the coach and
it can hype you up as somebody that's watching it.
Speaker 7: He's never hyped you up before.
Speaker 4: Not one. What are you bringing to the table?
Speaker 2: What are you bringing to the table besides.
Speaker 5: An incredible head coaching record? How'd you do that? I
don't know I can tell you.
Speaker 3: At Sue Falls, he was sixty seven and three and
he will on one, two, three inn AIA national championships.
Then he went to Fresno State. He was twelve and six,
nine and three his final year there. Then he went
to Washington where he was twenty five and three. Eleven
and two and then fourteen and one, nine and four last.
Speaker 5: Year at Alabama. Zone won this year very much so,
and I would say that most of his players got
a F or a D grade on effort.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't think there's any question. Like the backside
of any running play, those safeties were spectators.
Speaker 5: There was two dbs shooting three pointers, fake three pointers
in the middle of a play on a short yardage play. Yeah,
what like, tell me you don't respect what your coach
can do to you. Are you trying to say that.
Speaker 8: Major r and.
Speaker 3: Brandon Spikes weren't shooting fake three pointers before, We weren't
four on fourth down.
Speaker 5: All or anybody that ever played at Alabama until this week.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, you're trying to tell me in two
thousand and five, Dimiico Ryans and Roman Harper weren't doing that.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't think so, I didn't see it.
Speaker 3: Are you trying to sit here doing your radio show
and tell me that Nick Saban didn't allow us to
do that when we were playing.
Speaker 4: Now, I don't I did.
Speaker 5: I don't remember shooting three pointers during the during the
play of a football game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's so This isn't like for me. I'm
not gonna like.
Speaker 3: Just continued like to you know the the Alabama's done stuff,
Like we'll see. I'm just saying from my football trained
eye to see what they struggled with in week number one.
Speaker 2: They have five teams that I think can do Florida
State did to them if they don't fix it.
Speaker 5: Five teams are we you know what I just thought about?
Speaker 4: Did they have a.
Speaker 5: Week after Week one players only meeting? Might have had
a players only meeting?
Speaker 2: Well, we can talk about that when we come back
here on O T b.
Speaker 7: Oh wait okay, sorry, yes, we're gonna.
Speaker 2: Go to break.
Speaker 9: Okay, but something happened over here, so there's no We're
just gonna go straight to the break, no live and
no stab, and we'll just make it up as a
floater because it jumped, remember.
Speaker 2: How it's like, So we're gonna go to break break.
We're not gonna talk about the sponsor.
Speaker 9: I mean, if you want to talk about the sponsor
we have right now, not as.

Speaker 3: It is wild going back to the Alabama conversation that
all these web sites are putting out future bets on
the next head coach, Like, I mean, just full list
Tommy Tommy reas Is three to one, Lane Kiffins five
to one, Anny Dillingham seven to one.
Speaker 2: Ken Dillingham's not leaving Arizona State.
Speaker 3: He's from there, went to school there, And why would
you leave Arizona State.
Speaker 7: He's already just in Mississippi State.
Speaker 2: But why would you leave Arizona State.
Speaker 3: Kids you call, like Caitlyn Boris probably think God, the
Pacific Northwest. You're from there, you went to school there.
It's one of the best colleges out there. It's awesome,
great location, and you have a chance to win the
Big twelve. And they paid him dollar dollar bills. Okay,
so like the grass.
Speaker 4: Say that about. I get it.
Speaker 5: But all the coaches, every coach wants to coach and
be the coach.
Speaker 3: Right, But I still think like when you're from somewhere,
you went to school somewhere, You're not gonna have any
more passion for somewhere else, no matter where it is.
When you're in a good I mean he's in a
good he made the Costball Playoff last year.
Speaker 5: I mean as like from a human aspect of it, Yeah,
all that sounds great, all that sounds per about the sure,
but there's an egotistical thing to this, and maybe he
wants to be an NFL who knows, but.
Speaker 3: Like he would actually feel more like an NFL. You
don't turn down Damna. Oh you do what I'm saying.
If you're like, wait, maybe you should have man uh
Deon Sanders eight to one. Jim Fisher twelve to one. Hey,
that's my co host on Tuesdays, So chill out, okay,
uh Dimiko Ryans that's actually that'd be scary. He's a
hell of a coach fourteen to one. John Gruden fourteen
to one. He's on the list.
Speaker 2: John Summerl twenty two to one.
Speaker 4: I'm skipping, by the way.
Speaker 2: Mike Norvelle twenty eight to one.
Speaker 8: I don't see that.
Speaker 3: Steve Sharksian fifty to one. Dan Lanning forty to one.
Dansary said no One.
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer thirty three to one. Yeah, that's wild.
Speaker 7: They're a little too good.
Speaker 8: Spicy, that would be spicy Urban Meyer. Come out the woodworks.
Speaker 2: You see the last time Urban coached. They can go great,
he's out there kicking people.
Speaker 8: Well, putting his fingers in a sol that that video.
Speaker 4: That was at the bar.
Speaker 2: At the bar, yeah, experience.
Speaker 4: Well, Hansy.
Speaker 3: So before we wrap this conversation up, does Alabama fix
their issues and become relevant in the conversation.
Speaker 5: In October November, I'm gonna say that they will fix
their issues. Like, look, I did say seventy five yesterday,
but like I think they're a football team. After what
I say, I believe that everything what we saw on
the tape is fixable. Like it was an effort issue,
it was an attitude issue. It was like a mentality
issue in my opinion, a lot of it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 5: It takes the right makeup, It takes the right leadership
for sure. Uh, you get if you get kicked, if
you get beat. I mean it's kind of like the
man of the mirror situation, Like you either do you
don't like, it could go, it could spiral, or they
could fix it. But what is what is fix it?
I mean it's fix it three three losses, four losses?
What does that mean to them? But it could I
mean essentially conspire. I sound like can like it.
Speaker 8: See that's where it all really starts, is I think
people gotta, you know, change their expectations of Alabama, Like
they're expecting them to go on some type of saving
type run like those days are over. I don't over anybody,
they're over.
Speaker 3: Nobody will ever do that again. Nobody will ever, nobody
will ever have that kind of run the game.
Speaker 4: I don't even want that or even want that type
of run.
Speaker 8: Exactly, don't know. I don't know. I kind of I
would love to have to run like that.
Speaker 2: Makes of times you doing it special special.
Speaker 8: So I think Bama they'll be honestly, like they really
remind me of l SU last year. Like I think
they're gonna be like eight wins, nine wins and that's it,
and that's that's what's going to get the boor out
of there just for being that baseline. But I think
the SPAN base still are expecting saving type production and
they did all social media all seen a boy bamfan oh,
miss Nick Saban and all this. I'm like, well, guys,
the old days of the old days, stop, y'all gotta
stop that. So I think that's where the real problem started.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he well, Nick, you know, coach Saban is one
of one the best to ever do it. And then also
like at the end of his career, like when the
game had started to change, like he didn't like the
way it was going, so he left retired right because
he didn't like it. And he's like, that's not what
I signed up for. So all right, we gotta take
a break. We'll do that. Uh, do you have commercials?
Speaker 2: We have commercials, so I can do normal.
Speaker 7: Yes, But there there's not a live here. If you
look at the sheet, it's two floaters.
Speaker 2: I am so confused. Go to Central Plumbing.
Speaker 7: Dot org central plumbing or there's no live here.
