Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Hester and Hester.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
other on the air, control the live from the Mercedes
Benz Baton Rouge Studio.
Speaker 2: It's off the bench, all right, welcome back, Yeah, OTV
one of four five ESPN Baton Rouge. I got Connor
O'Gara Saturday down South, just let me know that he
was catching up with Jamal Charles, Texas legend, chiefs legend.
He said he can name every running back that got
drafted in front of him except me. I was like, well,
it was kind of fullback. But he said like, hey,
he's up there. If you want to go talk with him,
he said, Jamal said, no, I don't want.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2: It's like the beef there. Guy didn't think there was.
I blocked the punt against him one year. Maybe that was.
Speaker 3: It blocked against Jamal Man.
Speaker 2: He was a wing and I was on the edge.
Gotcha game up and under you talk that ish No
blocked and then scooped and scored what I think it
was a He serious though, right, Connor, he was serious
he's like, he's like, yeah, he didn't want to talk
to you. Yeah, all right, cool bro? Hey, yeah, I
mean he had some he's a stud.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you were. I mean yeah, did you
get a drafted? When you got drafted, did it say
F B H.
Speaker 2: Then yeah, because I mean at that time, certainly in
the like the West Coast offense fullbacks were still you know, prevalent.
We were still playing like I was playing like thirty
five percent of snaps. You know, man, what'd you do
to that? Man?
Speaker 4: You don't even know him. I know he doesn't want
to talk to you. I guess because they got that.
Of course, maybe he and he didn't mean it. Like
you asked people to come on the show like for interviews,
and some people like I want to talk to it.
Speaker 2: He just didn't want to see you. Just something about
something about Jacob's face. That's how it felt.
Speaker 3: Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Speaker 2: No? Change your face? Up? I didn't have that on
the bingo card, but here we are. Uh.
Speaker 3: Last night, I do want to mention home run derby.
Speaker 4: Uh the winner of the MLB home run derby during
the All Star Game. Cal Riley yep, uh, the Major
League Baseball home run leader. At this point, he is
famously nicknamed the Big Dumper.
Speaker 2: You got that on the Did you get that on
the MacAfee Show? Did he?
Speaker 4: He liked it though he liked it, and it kind
of got me thinking, I don't want to go to
buch Into home run Derby, but it got me thinking
the Big Dumper his his nickname. What is our favorite
l s U athlete nickname of all time? Honey Badger,
Honey Badger. We got Pistol Pete. Oh that's true.
Speaker 2: I almost think of pistol Pete being his name is
not pistol p by you Barbie, big Baby, Oh, big
Baby was a good one.
Speaker 3: Uh Buggan Nation for Leonard.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think if there's anything like any like
prevalent ones out there, So if you got something, we're
gonna think on this.
Speaker 2: I mean, honey Badgers like that. For Justin Jefferson, it's
honey Badger or Pistol Pete. Though there's not gonna be
anything that we say that the tops that.
Speaker 4: Right, but yeah, like that, And you know, I think
Big Baby is pretty pretty up there too.
Speaker 2: Jamie good One Booger, I mean it's real name's not
booger fanthonny what I feel like. I don't know if
you're actually being serious or not.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you knew that information what it says.
But Pistols not the real name. It kind of like, no,
it's it's pete.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna be honest, Like when I say pistol,
I feel like that is kind of the same thing
with booger. Yeah, a little bit, A little bit. A
pistol is definitely like a travel ball baseball name probably
right now, though it feels like somebody named their kid pistol.
I'm not throwing like, I'm not throwing stones like I
got a Memphis Like.
Speaker 4: I said, guarantee is looking at chat GPT for less
you nicknames wrong?
Speaker 2: That was a just classic Google search there. So because
of the home run there, I thought, I really thought
you were about to like give us like this just
great home run derby. Here's what happened, Here's what went down.
I don't think cares about this is Here's how you know.
There's some drama here, some drama there end up being
this guy be the winner. Like, no, we just we're
gonna use it as a nickname.
Speaker 4: Springboard. Yeah, it was a little springboard. That's called a
radio transition right there.
Speaker 3: Actually it's not. I don't know what it's called radio springboard.
Speaker 2: Tommy Tanks. Tommy Tanks, good one. You said that in
the chat.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that's going to be my son's favorite one.
Tommy Tanks. Ye loves Tommy.
Speaker 2: Touchdown Tommy Banks full back, ninety seven team scored against Florida.
Touchdown Tommy. Okay, I hadn't heard that one. Ain't got
no grip. That's fresh fresh on me.
Speaker 4: But yeah, let's still if you want to go back
to it, let's talk about there was a little drama
in the home run derby last night. Yes you continue,
you can't. Apparently so apparently in the home run derby
o a tie breaker, they go to distance traveled on
the ball and coy Riley one on that right, yeah,
point seven feet right point seven feet of ball travel.
Speaker 2: Apparently their trackers, well they have gps is and the balls.
Speaker 4: Yeah, seven feet it's pretty it's pretty strong.
Speaker 2: I guess that's one inch. I would you know, I
would come up with a different metric to probably decide
a tiebreaker than than that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rivers, who was it that he Beatt Brooker.
Speaker 2: I told you that for a third time. You don't
listen to me, got it?
Speaker 3: Well, no, I don't, of course not. Why would I?
Speaker 4: And he kind of complained that the controversy was he
didn't really know that was the rule for a tiebreaker.
Speaker 2: Maybe he would have swung a little harder. Maybe maybe
so was pivetose. Uh if if you don't think an
inch matters, Uh, yep, you know you could. Yeah, you
all let me, he said, He said, let me offer
that to around the room, and so he turned it down.
That inch matters.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 2: Bet your home run derby breakdown, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna break down. I really just wanted to
talk nicknames. You know that I know. But is there
in the Major League?
Speaker 2: Actually you do? You have a self given nickname Dragon?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. It's not really nick dame. It's
just an alias.
Speaker 2: Now. Uh.
Speaker 4: When you get a reservation at a restaurant, Dragon, Yeah,
most of my packages get delivered to Dragon Flynn.
Speaker 2: Dragon's got a lot of cars lately.
Speaker 4: Dragon's got a lot of cars, got a lot of
sports cars, lots of cars. Dragon Matt is not but
dragons in the game exactly.
Speaker 2: That's why I nobody can get mad right now. Currently
on the podium, you can't see it. Maybe tomorrow you can.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Kirby's smart Georgia head coach up there giving the good word.
There was some betting odds. I think it was Saturday
down South. Maybe that put him out, or maybe I
think I think that's where I saw it. Maybe it
was us. Was it us? Did we do that? Or
betting odds? Or who's going to speak the longest? I
think that was Saturday down South? I don't want to, Okay,
Kirby was the leader he had. He had, he had
the best odds to be the longest speech giver of
any coach. In his opening statement, I would think the
average is probably around ten to fifteen minutes, is what
I'm assuming. I think think, Yeah, I think Shane Biemer,
the one I stepped set in and listen to yesterday,
he was he was probably under fifteen minutest lengthy. No,
they wouldn't. He was good.
Speaker 4: I mean he was. He had his talking points. He
talked about the team in general. They went special teams, offense, defense, goals,
blah blah blah, talked about all his guys wax poetically
about Norse sellers said all the right things. I don't know,
but I mean, yeah, I would. I could see that.
Brian Kelly. I'd like to see what Brian Kelly's time was.
Speaker 2: He went a little bit longer than normal he does yesterday,
they said, because he had some of the best odds
to be the shortest of any speech.
Speaker 4: All right, well, I'm gonna time this right now. I know,
I want know we're late. I guess we're going to
add probably, I don't know, three minutes, three minutes too.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Everybody has like a different approach to it.
Like I remember one year Coach O just basically went
up there and gave you the depth chart, Like he
just filibustered for like twenty minutes on depth chart, gave
you the too deep and where they were from, and
like that was his opening statement. There was one year
Mike Leach walks in, He's like, uh, basically like I
don't want to do this. I don't want to hear
me talk like you got any thing for me? And
that was it, right, and he just opened the floor
up for questions. Right, everybody is a little bit different, Kirby,
is you know gonna probably try to say something that
like he's been they've been disrespected, and you know, you
got Paul Fine moment here talking about Georgia football is
not not what it used to be. And you know
here he's gonna go in on somebody right now. Like
he's using a lot of a lot of hand motions.
And as someone who's been coached by Kirby Smart, I
know when the hand gets going.
Speaker 4: Especially when it's like going like real stoccatta ish too,
like up and down. It's not a smooth, smooth flow. Sorry,
it's got a pistachio piece my third there. If it's
not a smooth hand motion, he's he started doing this.
You know he's hitting somebody hard right now. Every time
I see him that when I see him in person,
I just see that assistance safety coach from two thousand
and three and four, Yeah at LSU.
Speaker 2: Yeah see, I've had a chance to like get to
know him, like since he was an assistant in Alabama
and head coach at Georgia. But that is funny for you,
Like that's what you know him as as the assistant
safeties coach who didn't really get to run his meeting
because Saban ran the meeting. Yeah, who was like yelling
at Laurent Landry, like when they moved me to safety
when I first got there, and I've always forget it,
and I'm like in that room and like Kirby's like, aster,
you got to get to the deep third. I'm like,
coaches Dwayne Bow and Buster Davis out there, what the
hell you want me in the deep third? Four?
Speaker 3: I was playing defensive tackle two years ago.
Speaker 2: And yes, yes, yep, truthport evangel I was two fifty
three in them trenches.
Speaker 4: Play running back and like people didn't really think I
was good at that. Why do you think I was
gonna be?
Speaker 3: I don't know about all that fruit and gurus.
Speaker 2: So this used to happen. This happened to about four
or five guys. So and you know this, we were
at a training camp practice. I feel like I was
playing pretty well at running back whatever, but there wasn't
a spot for me to Joe hald Ied, we had
a lot of guys. JV had just gone off that
year before he had Ali Breustard right, and I bet
I was making some plays and Coach Saban's like, hey,
I want you to ride with me in my little
any Mercedes back across the pond Rosa here and go
back to the locker room, because again, we didn't have
the ops build. And I'm like, how a freshman, I'm like,
oh man, I've screwed up, Like what did I do?
Like I an't really done anything? Like So I get
in the car and I mean you imagine, like my
heart's beating ninety to nothing about to cut me like college. No,
It's like, it's like, hey, all right now, we think
you're one of the best, one of the best twenty
five players on this football team right now. The problem
is we don't have space for you. He's like, you're
one of the twenty five best, but right now, like
I don't, we don't feel like we're getting the value
out of you like we should. I'm like, okay, cool,
what does this mean? Yeah? What are you telling me
right now? So it's like, you know, I know you
played defense in high school. I like, I can't play
nose guard. He's like, we're gonna move you over and
you're going to play defense for Kirby on Monday Tuesday,
and you're gonna go back and play offense for Jimbo
on Wednesday. Thursdays there in training camp. I'm like, sir,
my head is spinning right now. I'm trying to learn
ninety two protection right now with Jim. But but you know,
as a freshman head coach, Nick saying yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 3: I just won't play coach whatever whatever team.
Speaker 2: I go in there on Monday and Tuesday and they're
talking all these coverages. I'm like, man, I ain't never
done this before in my life. And I get out there.
It lasted for about two two and a half weeks,
all whatever, I think it was. Finally Kirby's like, hey, hey, hey, Nick,
Hey hey, he's a lot better forwards than he is backwards.
Speaker 3: This guy sucks.
Speaker 2: I was like, what y'all think was gonna happen here?
Speaker 3: Hey, I know you played fullback.
Speaker 4: I would think that the the natural progression if you're
gonna do it.
Speaker 2: Put you outside linebacker, Nope, safety safety. I was backing
up Jesse Daniels like what are you? What are we
doing here? When he said he said that you gotta
get over there. He said he said it in front
of me too, which I loved. Say hey, Nick, hey,
he's better forwards than he is backwards. But for me, though,
I was like, thank god, I felt like I didn't
know how anything.
Speaker 4: Dude, you were absolute liability back there. I always forget
that you did have that two week stint at safety.
Speaker 2: And it was like oftentimes you were the quarterback because
I was in there with the twos, so like you
were the quarterback, and like at that time Early was
still two. Buster was probably still like a two in
the slot. I don't blame your carter. Yeah, Benny Brazil,
Benny Brazil, Yeah you won't. You want number eighteen right
there to go play cover two against Benny Brazil.
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: Have you ever heard of that that thing where the
world gets together every four years and competes.
Speaker 3: What's that called? Is that the Olympics? Yeah?
Speaker 2: He was there. He's a runner in the Olympics. Yeah,
Jacob did well, got into the finals.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go cover him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was playing nose Guarden at four points a
year and a half before that.
Speaker 4: Kirby is one of those dudes that I he can
come up with some sayings and he's.
Speaker 2: Better fors and backwards is a.
Speaker 3: Great way, I guess something. Just pull out of your ass.
Speaker 2: Awesome, I know I am which Kirby, Nope, can't say
that one.
Speaker 3: Now we'll take a break. Can't say that one.
Speaker 2: And when we come back, I'll think of one Kirby
saying that I can say here on transitional radio.
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
Speaker 3: Did you got you? Go to dditional Radio.

powered by Parish Construction and Roofing. Answer now for your
chance to intend thousand dollars cash at Parish Built dot Com.
Our coverage is also presented by REV and Relief Windows.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back again, OTB one four or five,
ESPN baton Route US And like we talked about yesterday,
I understand that we're here for football, football football. It
is SEC Media Days. But like we talked about with
the guys that got drafted yesterday, there is some baseball
news and Alandra highlighted this for US. Zach Cowen, who
went undrafted, is coming back obviously big for LSU baseball.
Some of the back end guys there that either went
really really late or went undrafted for LSU, we're surprising
Zach Cowen coming back though, versatility, somebody that was a
starting pitcher you know at Watford and then comes to
you and it's really I mean, ended up starting there
at the end of the year a couple of games
and being obviously a big piece of what got you
to omahall and what ended up winning a championship. But
you know, him starting the Arkansas game in Omaha and
what he gave you there, he kept you close, and
you were able to obviously get to Arkansas late. But
he is a guy who is going to have every
opportunity to earn a weekend job next year.
Speaker 4: Well I think, you know, watching the draft, obviously a
lot of talent lost are going to lose, but it
takes a lot of talent to win a championships. So
I mean it's one of the certainly one of those
things that we will trade as Tiger fans, but happy
to get all the arms, all the talent back that
we can and those guys that are having to make
a decision, hopefully they make the right decision.
Speaker 2: I'd love the baseball draft model of you can get drafted.
If it's not where you won't just get back. Yeah
you know, hey, hey, uh you know we're not we're
not agreeing here, We're not agreeing, so I'm just gonna
go back. I love it, and I love the leverage
that they have now with hen Iel. I mean, are
you kidding me? It's like, I take it.
Speaker 4: We are so pro player on this show because we
want like get your money, go get it, use leverage
because they're going to use every single the team in
the league is going to use every since, every bit,
every ounce of leverage they can ever to use it
against the players.
Speaker 3: So hey, when you have.
Speaker 4: The opportunity to have the upper hand and the power
and say, hey, look you pay me or I'm gonna go.
You know, I'm gonna go improve my skills back at
college and make a little bit of money might not
be as much as you're offered me right now, Hey
I get drafted again next year.
Speaker 2: It's a great setup on the draft.
Speaker 4: Yeah, gives a player a lot more power and a
lot more leverage.
Speaker 2: High school players have it because they can say I'll
just go to college. College fine, And now you can say,
go to College're gonna make some money there, but.
Speaker 4: Or you know, I'll just take a lot less money
and I'll be the number one pick in the draft.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that was the thing till this year.
Oh you didn't. You didn't know that, Like if the
teams like that was explaining that when we were watching.
So we were at the sports bar, just like we
just got to the hotel. We were kind of meeting people,
meeting great and they had it on the table. You
couldn't hear it, but it was all like K didn't
go one. I was like, what, like, why are they
taking this kid?
Speaker 4: And they explained, you know, kind of explained all the
how the dollars and cents work on the on the
the top ten rounds certainly, but I was like, wait,
they can take less, ye and it's not gonna affect the.
Speaker 2: Other guys slots because right now in the NFL there's
a lot of people dealing with second round picks because
the first two that signed got guaranteed money. Yep. Cleveland
gave a linebacker and Houston gave a receiver guaranteed money,
and the other second round picks like, hold it up, now,
wait a minute, yep, because that's usually reserved for veteran
players and first round picks, and the other guys like,
I'm not signed, Like they got guaranteed money. I won't
guaranteed money. You've got like twenty was it? Is it?
Eight twenty nine unsigned second round pick?
Speaker 4: So I think it's only the first two, right, So
it's only the thirty three and thirty fourth pick that
have signed because they got fully guaranteed you know, last year,
so it's improving.
Speaker 2: Last year it was the top thirty two picks. It
was the first round.
Speaker 4: This year, thirty three and thirty four are both signed.
But one of the wrenches that's being thrown in this
is Cleveland has the thirty three and the thirty seventh pick.
Speaker 2: Yep, So the thirty seventh.
Speaker 4: Pick is like hold the phone, buddy, like, I want
the guaranteed, and so thirty five and thirty six are like, well,
we're not going to do anything until the other guy
from Cleveland, like, so it just one domino has to
fall and then the rest of them signed. But nobody
else in the second round is signing because you're going
to see it improve every year, which is great. So
let's just say it it stops now at the guaranteed
and thirty three and thirty four, and so you know,
if you're not tracking on that, it's the first and
second pick of the second round, thirty three and thirty four.
So if they maybe let's just say it stops there
next year, I would anticipate going to thirty five thirty
six if it doesn't this year. So we will see
what happens with the guaranteed contracts. But what I found
interesting is like they're also negotiating, like okay, even if
it's not one hundred percent guaranteed? What is thirty five
gonna do? Is it gonna be ninety eight? Is it
gonna be ninety six? And they're talking that those that
that's the language agents are talking right now with teams,
It's like, all right, it's the percentage of guaranteed. Now, yeah,
so is Cleveland's thirty seventh pick the thirty third or
thirty third to thirty fourth, can't remember, Yeah, it got
one hundred percent guaranteed? Is thirty seven? Are they going
to say, all right, well it's gonna be ninety five? Well,
then if he does that.
Speaker 2: Then the people that are sandwiched in between, they are like,
all right, well, well we want to play ninety seventy. Yeah, whatever,
its gon'ld be a different little pay scale.
Speaker 4: So that percentage will start to improve for second rounders
year over year as it just just like it does.
I mean, it just it always gets improved. That the
negotiations help in the player's way, So you know, I
go get it. I hope they hope they guarantee every
contract in the NFL at some point. I mean, we're
the only only sport that doesn't do it, I know,
And the most popular for the most popular.
Speaker 2: The most I mean dollars and cents is not even closed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I got so many revenue multiple years
ago Drew Brees when he resigned his contract towards the
end of his contract, because Kirk Cousins had just signed
the first ever fully guaranteed contract and Drew Brees was
right after that. So one one contract can just be
like an accident. Two's a trend, especially at the quarterback position.
Drew had the opportunity at the end. I thought that
might not have ever been a conversation Drew. You know,
he he's gonna do it's best for the team. Of course,
team team first guy. But I just thought he had
like a line in the sand moment that said, all right,
Kurk just signed one, let me sign a second one
on the heels of that, And I'm Drew Brees like,
it's a little bit different with me. Kirk's like good player,
but he's not Drew Brees. Yeah, so you had if
you would have had two dominoes fall right there in
the same month that year, I thought it could have
really made an impact for future contracts down the road.
And the way that conversation was looked at Wait, it
turned out the way it looked at was probably like,
h it's kind of probably a mistake, yeah, instead of
a trend.
Speaker 2: So I love people got mad because Tom Brady would
take a lot less money and they're like everybody when
you just set the market, and he's like, I'd rather
spend that money on my team. I know, I'll be self, Tom.
Tom only made for fourteen million some of those years
where guys were making twenty seven to twenty eight. Yeah,
he's like taking he was taking like half almost more
some cases. I mean it was top like two guys,
but he was taking half of what they made. He's like, hey,
put it back in the Patriots, like, go get me more, dudes.
Speaker 4: I would like to see if Tom's on the payroll
for any other of Craft's businesses.
Speaker 2: Though even if he was, it's still smart. It's smart smart.
Let's do that, all right. We will step away here,
And yes, they're pointing out in midstream, ADS is pointing
out that everybody drafted in this recruiting class for relsup
baseball is probably going to go pro. But remember when
Jay Johnson came on with us a couple of weeks ago,
he said as much. He's like, you know, we're working hard,
and I don't have high hopes for Yep, some of
these guys like we know where they're going to get drafted.
So you got a couple, but yeah, the guys drafted.
Jay kind of felt like that a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4: So reload, reset, regroup, take a breath, enjoy the trophy
for a little bit, yeah, and go kick some ass.
Speaker 2: You think he's a You think he's enjoyed since like
the day after No, No, that dude. He did make
the comment when he was talking to us.
Speaker 4: He's like, you know, you do the cell it Like,
what what else are we doing this for if we
don't celebrate a little bit.
Speaker 2: But I think that guy celebrates by just working more. Yep.
It's uh, the only way that I know that he
gets it done, and including not going to Flemings when
his team was going to Flemmings in Omall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like we can do it, like you can.
Speaker 4: You could even go there, you know, thirty minutes late
when they get their food. Yeah, leave thirty minutes early,
yeah before you know, don't stay for the fellowship.
Speaker 2: Yep, It's okay. We got him a cold steak cold steak.
Speaker 3: I was probably breathing in that styropham box for an hour.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably started out medium rare, turned to a medium
well sweat and kept a cooking.
Speaker 4: He had to cut it with a plastic four work.
Probably probably had to pick it up.
Speaker 2: And do it like a doll. As learned, they got
like high quality plastic wear.
Speaker 3: You know, you get the.
Speaker 4: Ones that are in like the little plastic sack that
have like the napkin salt pepper, salt and pepper, like
those ones. Those ain't cutting nothing. No, I stay flimsy.
The fork prongs are flimsy.
Speaker 3: Be better plastic were all right, plastic wear.
Speaker 2: On that note, Let's go to break more O t B.

the win totals for the four schools that were here
yesterday I did mention that we would circle back and
talk about some of these other teams, but before like
we get to eight and a half, nine and a half,
blah blah blah whatever, Which of these four teams are
you most confident in? Right now?
Speaker 4: I'm scratching Auburn off that list. I'm scratching Tennessee off
that list just because the questions at quarterback, and not
to say Georgia Texas, I'd have a question mark and
I just trust those guys. Yeah, as we sit here
today on July fifteenth, I am going to.
Speaker 3: Go with.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not gonna go against Kirby Smart. I'm gonna
say Georgia.
Speaker 2: Right now, Georgia is tied for first with nine and
a half wins. That there's no team in double digits
first time in a very long time. Yeah, I can
remember this. So Alabama and Georgia both at nine and
a half.
Speaker 3: Do you like that?
Speaker 4: Do you like the that there's no like one preseason
dominant I do. I love watching dominant people and dominant
teams in sports. I love that, Like in different sports
when I watched like like seaning Tiger Woods, I you know,
I like seeing dominant teams in a really hard sport
makes something hard look easy. But for the SEC, this
is incredible that there is not that one team that
you got to say, all right, well, no one's going
to beat them this year. They're you know, they're over
under is undefeated. So it's excited about it. Excited. I
kind of the parody.
Speaker 2: Georgia at nine and a half real quick, it is
Marshall Austin p at Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky at Auburn Ole,
Miss Flora, to in Jacksonville, at Mississippi State, Texas at
home Charlotte and at Georgia Tech.
Speaker 4: Hmmm, I'm circling this Georgia Tech game right now. I
know we're big Georgia Tech folks.
Speaker 2: I am, yeah, they were in the SEC, they'd be
they'd be our the ball now I see that that
game's in Mercedes Benz Stadium. Why is it not in
Bobby Dodd? Why is that not a home game for them?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 2: Why why would they do that? If that is factual,
which on the schedule it says Mercedes been State. Where
did they played last year at Georgia in Athens? It's
always been a home and home, like what You're like,
you're giving them the advantage. If that is true and
they're playing there.
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess they could. I guess Georgia Tech
could look at it as it is a home game,
because it isn't Atlanta.
Speaker 2: That things will be filled with Bulldogs. Yeah, I agree,
this is an hour down the road.
Speaker 4: But maybe can they control the ticket sales if it
the home game?
Speaker 2: Yeah, secondary market is going to be red and black.
I hope that's not true. Hey, Georgia Tech fans, please
don't sell your tickets. Just keep them ten and two,
nine and three, eight and four, eleven to one.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go under nine and three. I got him
at nine and three right here. It feels weird, But
maybe you know, maybe I'm backtracking on you because you
asked me which one do I feel the most confident?
Speaker 2: End? I mean it.
Speaker 3: They're a proven commodity a coach, They're proven commodity.
Speaker 4: As a as a team. But Gunner Stockton makes me
a little nervous. I know he was highly sought after,
he was a high recruit. He did some really good
things last year, but it looked like the plays that
he did make last year were kind of on accident,
and I say accident because he did make him happen.
He is a good athlete. He got out of there.
He did some things a little off schedule. I didn't
see anything last year that told me that, man, this
guy can consistently run a passing offense.
Speaker 2: Now, maybe he.
Speaker 4: Can be a Diego Palavia type player and just consistently
make off schedule plays and be a nuisance that way,
and maybe can turn into a good passer. But I'm
just basing on what I've seen so far his style
of play. I'm gonna say three losses going under on Georgia.
I'll go right there with you. I think they're nine
and three football team. Ten and two doesn't surprise you.
Eleven and one would, Yeah, I'll go eleven. I'll go
nine and three under. Closer to closer to ten than eight.
But yeah, certainly.
Speaker 2: But with gunnerstock Den, with the new with some of
the games they have on their schedule, I do think
they maybe trip up three times. And it's all really
depending on the Georgia Tech game. For me, at the end,
I think their two loss team heading into that.
Speaker 4: Game, Yeah, they got a tough they got They start
with Marshall then Austin, PA. And then they got a
pretty They've got a pretty tough five game stretch there.
They their first big challenge will be at Tennessee September thirteenth,
and then the next week playing at home against Alabama.
So we tested early. Hopefully they can get a good
little warm up. We'll stretch in against Marshall, a little
little hamstring stretch against Austin PA.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the head on the road to play Rocket Top.
Speaker 2: Texas also set at nine and a half. They've got
at Ohio State, San Jose State at home, UTEP at home,
Sam Houston State at home, at Florida, Oklahoma in the
Cotton Bowl, at Kentucky at Mississippi State, Vanderbilt at home
at Joja, Arkansas at home, and Texas A and M
at home. They're set at nine and a half. Nine
and a half.
Speaker 3: Well, they're gonna they're starting now to own one.
Speaker 2: Is there two more losable games in there? Or is
it only one? Because I feel like it's only one.
Speaker 4: At Georgia at Georgia, Texas A and M masure classic
like rivalry matchups, So it's a I think the A
and M game will be should be a toss.
Speaker 2: Up uh O Clumbus. Soon, I'm gonna go ten to
two over at Florida.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take the under here nine and three just
because they're gonna start out on one.
Speaker 2: Tennessee eight and a half. I'm going under. I'm going
it's an eight and four football team, Tennessee set right
now at eight and a half. Yep, under all right,
let's go to the Auburn Tigers seven and a half.
Speaker 3: Let's see here, they start open at Baylor.
Speaker 2: It's that. That's yeah, that is a good not a
little of helmet out there win.
Speaker 4: For that, I think a I think Baylor is gonna
surprise some people.
Speaker 2: Taylor got picked in the unofficial Big twelve Bowl third
I believe.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, I like I think Baylor is gonna
be pretty good this year. We saw them in the
bowl game. They got a dynamic offense. I think they're
gonna be stronger, so they might. That's a tough starting
game for any mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: I've got them as a six to win football now.
Speaker 4: I got six check marks on my schedule right here,
so under all right, so we're under on We're pretty
low on all these teams, right.
Speaker 2: Now under on Tennessee, under on Georgia, I was over
I think on Texas, I think you were under.
Speaker 4: So we're saying day two here at s the media
day is overrated.
Speaker 2: Well, it kind of goes back to our narrative of
look all these teams that have these quarterbacks in the
l s U, the South Carolina, the Vanderbilt at the
Oklahoma and today category, like we don't you know, we
don't maybe have them where the Georgia's in the Texas
and Alabama where they've been in the past. But that's
just a lot of questions for the top team.
Speaker 4: To quarterback and you're gonna have. It's it's college football,
you're gonna have. You're gonna be playing guys. You got
new guys starting all the time. That's the nature of
the Beast. You get four years of eligibility to play,
so they're always going to replace. But when you have
to replace the most important position where only one guy
can play, can't be quarterback by committee, can't like rotate
somebody in there when he's tired. It's one guy and
he's one leader. So when you have that question mark,
it puts these preseason win totals just in huge, like
huge guessing game. So we're guessing. Of course here, I
think these guys might go and play their minds out.
Jackson ardl might go out and you know, surprise all
of us and they win eight games. You don't really
know that, but we just got to project based on
what we've seen, and we hadn't seen anything. So we're
just looking at strength to schedule and the big question marks.
But you, I mean, you got three of the top
dogs right now in the SEC with Georgia, Tennessee, Texas,
all with question marks, some bigger than other question marks.
Speaker 2: One question mark is carrying a lot of hype.
Speaker 3: Mister R. Yeah, so they don't purpose people.
Speaker 2: Did you you called them Austin P. A said Austin P.
Did you mean do that too?
Speaker 3: That's all. That's how it's called.
Speaker 2: It's Austin P. I don't know. Somebody said you said
Austin P A. I probably did. Awstin P got into
my head. Yeah, it's okay. I tried to do. I
thought it was cool doing rap lyrics earlier and it didn't.
It didn't Like who spells P with a y, It's
Austin P P E A Y. Yeah, That's what I'm saying.
P is p e A or p e E. Tristan
does bring up a good point about the rhetoric a
shootout always being a little weird and sometimes the man. Yeah,
Oklahoma wonted two years ago when Texas made the playoff,
Dylan Gabriel, you never know. I mean Georgia Tech should
have been Georgia last year. Absolutely. I didn't have any
money on that one. Money line. It's still not mad
about it. Money line.
Speaker 4: Money line sure was. I think it was going to
be hitting too. I think cars got out bought with
that money.
Speaker 2: All of them, all of them. What's a the odds
on that plus plus plus a lot, I don't remember,
plus a lot, plus a.
Speaker 4: Lot, multig gods multiple, multiple hundreds, big odds.

Canon in studio in Chicago for his show yesterday, but
OTB was lucky to get a call from the Canyon
once every other year, thoughts, it's pretty true once every
other year he's in studio within a month and a half. Hmm,
I'm gonna let you all respond to that one. Yeah, yeah,
not very fox will move. Maybe it's a cannon. Maybe
he didn't like you. Do you think that's truth? It's
actually very true. Maybe it was me. Maybe something about
my face, like you said earlier. I don't know, hurts
me though.
Speaker 4: So now it's Jamal Charles and the Cajun Cannon. Neither
one of them, like you hed.
Speaker 2: Jamal Charles must have really like he came up those staies,
made eye contact with me and turned his head right. Yeah,
we made eye contact. Yeah. Yeah, that's a punk that
got drafted before me. I'm like, yeah, I'm that punk
that blocked the pun on you turd kidding. Actually, I
didn't know I had Jamal Charles beef until Connor told me.
I thought we were cool. You were on his kill list.
I'm on, I am definitely on the Billy Madison list.
Speaker 3: Hm.
Speaker 2: I Will also asked, how do you feel about t
Bob getting the Cajun cannon on his new show less
than a month and two? Uh doing it but never
was in the studio for a TV.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, and that is that is hunting behind us.
Speaker 2: I asked the bench, are you proud of how professional
and personal our coach and players have been at the
SEC media days. They've done a great job. Yes, they
have done. Like I started to talk about it at
the open of the show, people have stopped me and
be like, hey, you guys have crushed it. Yeah. The
LSU guys, the contingency here for LSU has done fantastic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were an amazing representation of our school, of
our program of Louisiana.
Speaker 3: Joe.
Speaker 4: They did a great job yesterday from being open, being honest,
being confident, being likable, and just like you said when
we started the show, I just can't remember who said it,
but they said that man went weeks was an amazing
representation of LSU. They did a good job. They did
a great job. So we should all be proud of
the job they did here and now we just got
a time to put some pads on.
Speaker 2: Now for those boys, ask the bench, do you practice
in your game helmet? At LSU? You have two helps,
two helmets you rotate at least, so quarterbacks woment We didn't.
Speaker 3: We weren't. We weren't banging heads out there.
Speaker 2: We are practice helmet was our game helmet? Yeah, we
had three I think actually now think about it, we
had three that we rotated.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they always had the backup helmet too, ready,
ready and ready to go, just in case something cracked
or like the speaker like in the NFL, the speaker
went out in your helmet, they had the backup helmet ready.
