Cowboys play.
Speaker 6: Nah my.
Speaker 5: Wopping seventeen points against the Cardinals.
Speaker 2: Oh that sounds like a man. That was I hustling
a little bit.
Speaker 5: Watched the game.
Speaker 6: He texted it the Cowboys.
Speaker 7: Thank god you walked out on him earlier. Yeah, that's right,
good good thing. There's some confusing teams out there in
the NFL.
Speaker 4: I don't know what. Yeah, is very confusing. Have always
been confusing, So that's not what the Also, they're.
Speaker 5: Really bangedal like you were having a good season before that,
so that's not Yeah.
Speaker 2: Joe all out for the year, cool.
Speaker 5: Slater out for the year two.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's been out for the year, tackles the
strength of your team.
Speaker 2: It's good. I'm not upset about it.
Speaker 7: But acs so, what what as a joke say about belt?
Speaker 2: Joke? A? He said? What did it stand for? Alfred
Clifford Slater? I know? But was it Albert Clifford? Yeah? Okay,
all right, good enough. I'm sad that you missed the
eulogy yesterday.
Speaker 6: Put another one to rest too.
Speaker 5: Possibly the greatest photo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a real photo, not a not photo shopped.
It's a real photo of that man coaching football.
Speaker 5: All I had to do, all I had to do
was he wasaching in the Yeah, he was Liberty, like
the make chif of hospital Dennis Cheer remember that.
Speaker 6: I just don't remember which school he was at.
Speaker 5: It was like his first year at Liberty.
Speaker 6: That's so funny.
Speaker 7: You're right, it was not a All I had to
do was put a little black and white filter on it.
We had photo in Canva, put some letters on it.
Speaker 5: I love is the ESPN microphone. You could see it
like he was totally being interviewed, and like they probably
just thought that was totally normal, a guy coaching in
the booth from a hospital bit totally normal.
Speaker 6: Still women in Kentucky, they were like fighting for the.
Speaker 2: I felt like whoever lost that game was gonna get.
Speaker 6: Fired, right, so they were.
Speaker 3: I guess now Arkansas's or Arkansas Auburn is probably last
in the SEC because Kentucky was.
Speaker 4: Then Mississippi State got their first victory. That's guy Arkansas,
that's guy Jeff Leby. They came, they didn't win, they won.
Speaker 3: Why didn't watch any football? Because YouTube TV?
Speaker 4: Arkansas Arkansas is actually last. They have conference wins, Auburn
has one. There's there is four teams that only have
one win in the SEC and one that has none.
So five of the sixteen members have one win or less.
Speaker 2: Wow, I think OOF is top heavy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, ESPN, you really need to get your ish together.
Speaker 2: What was ish mean?
Speaker 6: What happened?
Speaker 2: Well, it's the YouTube TV deal. Oh yeah, ESPN, Like
last night, I just don't get it like you have.
Speaker 7: So I heard my griev yesterday because but it happened
again last night with Monday Night football. It's just that,
like you can watch everything else on ESPN Plus because
I paid ten dollars a month for ESPN Plus except
for the one thing I want to watch, which was
a sport. I wanted to watch a sport, but they
wouldn't let me do it. I could watch all the nationwide,
all the college soccer games happening, watch all those here
you go, but didn't.
Speaker 2: Basketball started yesterday. Who cares? Honestly?
Speaker 7: Friends and family, friends and family, same people that care
about NBA right now, it's fair, which is hopefully nobody.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I care a little bit just because
the Spurs are starting off early. Wig like, really, well,
that's true. I care about historically, truly care.
Speaker 7: About Well, that's not October anymore, but nobody should truly
care about October NBA.
Speaker 4: I like, hey, you looked at your watch. Halloween's the
last day of October.
Speaker 7: You should have probably realized we're in November. I wanted
to see how many days end in November? Anybody started
any decorations yet?
Speaker 5: Not yet for Christmas?
Speaker 2: And now people were getting there. We got our Christmas
lights up?
Speaker 6: You did? What about tree?
Speaker 2: No tree yet?
Speaker 6: Do you wait till are.
Speaker 2: Y'all like that already? Well I didn't.
Speaker 6: Someone came out and did it for you.
Speaker 5: We're literally like the day after Thanksgiving we put everything
up normally.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like that's standard.
Speaker 2: I wish Christmas lights were acceptable all year round. I
really do.
Speaker 5: Two people in my neighborhood think they are.
Speaker 6: They make me feel so warm.
Speaker 7: They may see, say there's someone on Monday that thinks
Halloween decorations are good twelve months too.
Speaker 5: So really, I see the big Jack Skellington's from Nightmare
before Christmas, people are like, ah, it's Nightmare and it's Christmas.
They put it up of October and they leave that
bad boy up till like January.
Speaker 2: Oh let's see they found a loophole.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I can't get mad at that.
Speaker 4: Look, if you pay that much for those skeletons, those
tall ones, you got to get some more use out
of Now's the time.
Speaker 2: To buy it.
Speaker 7: So my wife went to Costco yesterday because she was
on sale. We no, because they don't have anything Halloween.
So like they're selling, they're basically sold out of Christmas.
Speaker 2: She bought a she bought a tree and maybe a Sunday.
Speaker 7: She went to buy a tree because my daughters they
wanted they they had like this this like little one
that was in their room for a one time, a
little pink one. They get a little bit older, they
like I want like a flocked one. I want when
that looks like a snow on it.
Speaker 2: So we went.
Speaker 7: She went and bought up a little flock tree. They
sell them in November, but they're sold out.
Speaker 6: Like the fake one.
Speaker 2: So let me tell you this.
Speaker 7: So October one, I'd seen like all the social media posts.
I was like, I want one of the big skeleton heads.
It looks like he's coming out of the ground. And
this was like October one, yeah, and I was like,
can we do that? She was like, babe, they've been
sold out of those since July.
Speaker 6: That's insane.
Speaker 2: I'm like what She's like, You're way too late.
Speaker 7: I'm like, what, I got thirty one days until people
started knocking on the door.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nope.
Speaker 7: So if you've already waited until November fourth, twenty twenty five,
you're a little late.
Speaker 2: I'm buying your Christmas decorations. I have to go to Timu. Well,
there's no way they'll live in by then. If you
go to.
Speaker 3: I know, no hate, they're gonna come at all tight
like dollhouse decorations with there be like no.
Speaker 5: Matt The picture was the actual size.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So what I've started noticing is you got these basically
Costco scalpers out there that area, so they know that
Costco is going to sell out of these books skeletons.
Speaker 2: Kind of like in the card game.
Speaker 7: In the card game, they're going and probably getting a trailer,
make a little road trip out of it, scooping up
as many Giants skeletons as they can, and then they're flipping.
Speaker 2: Them for twice a price on eBay smart line demand.
Speaker 7: Dude, Well, it's like if you can suck dry, I mean,
Joe Dirt.
Speaker 2: Joe Dirt gave you a lesson on how that works.
Speaker 5: Hey, you saw this one jingle all the way the
list price of the Turbo manager just double.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's blind a man, that's true.
Speaker 7: So I'm gonna go start buying up all the Christmas
trees in South Louisiana and.
Speaker 3: Just reselling them, just reselling them. I don't think that's
a bad idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got time to do that. Definitely have time
to do that. You have to hire somebody wasting my
time here right now, I could be buying up Christmas trees.
You also get paid to be here for a long time.
You did it for free. I'll give you that.
Speaker 7: You don't think I'd be getting paid to jack up
the prices of the South Louisiana Christmas trees.
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, but you'd have to drive if you
use gas. I mean there's I.
Speaker 5: Would love for you to request the day off and
a reason, be like I have to buy Christmas Christmas tree.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh that's good.
Speaker 6: Favorite holiday? Christmas?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, Christmas, Halloween, I like them, booth definitely
favorite holiday.
Speaker 2: It's a favorite time of the year right now, Yeah,
for sure it is.
Speaker 4: Is there anybody out there that Christmas isn't like the favorite?
Speaker 6: There's probably some contrarians out there.
Speaker 4: Well, they wouldn't mean it, they would just do it
just to argue. There's gonna be some like there's people
at work here that I know be like.
Speaker 2: Oh you like Christmas?
Speaker 4: Is this dumb for the flag presents a stupid President's Day?
Speaker 2: That's my favorite? Or day? Yeah.
Speaker 7: I'm also tired of Apple calendar telling me what all
the days are and not letting me remove them.
Speaker 2: Why.
Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't really care. There's apparently there's
like thirty holidays every single month, and I don't I
don't like. I don't like my calendar to be littered.
I want to take things off.
Speaker 2: Doesn't love me? Second best Holidays. Fourth of July I
love it. I think it was great too. Football it's awesome.
Speaker 4: I kind of lump that in with Christmas just this
time of year, like just I know it's a month apart,
but it's kind of lump it all in together, like
the one away from the Fall.
Speaker 2: I love the fourth July. Yeah, I love it. It's great.
It's America.
Speaker 7: I think the three fall, early Winter, the Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas,
those those gotta be.
Speaker 2: The top three.
Speaker 6: Generational run.
Speaker 2: This is a generational run. It's the big three.
Speaker 7: The things every out of the year are nice, nice
little change ups, nice little breakups.
Speaker 2: But like for July is great in summertime.
Speaker 7: It's just a great feeling when the weather, dog, hamburgers, fireworks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great, hot dog eating contos. Some TV like
that's super American.
Speaker 2: It's good.
Speaker 7: But to me, it's like Fourth of July great. I
love America, love just rewatch and it's every single day.
Speaker 2: Love the troops. I feel like it.
Speaker 7: But like when Fourth of July is over, it's over.
Like you get the Halloween, you're like Thanksgiving right around
the corner. It's like we got like three weeks of
like doing the Advent calendar and.
Speaker 5: Everything like sports in general, Like you go fourth of July,
you got a lull till about September, like you don't.
Speaker 7: Really have Yeah, Mardi Gras race great, but like I mean,
it's just like you at this point, the kids get
a whole week off, like still gotta work, there's really nothing,
super Bowls over, like Baseball just started, but like who
kind of really cares at that point?
Speaker 4: I mean that that part of the year is my
most stressful part. So I don't even like from December
first till March first, I'm on the road like every weekend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
Speaker 7: Yeah, then Christmas is over, then you got a little
New Year's action. Like there's so many things to look
forward to this time of year. So I can't just say,
like a one off July fourth is better than any
of that, even though I love.
Speaker 2: Hot dogs, I love America. Williams said, Labor Day just
over here, like y'all forget about me. Eastern's Like, what's up?
That's true? What are we doing? Oh yeah, Memorial Day
better than today? Sorry. We love all our holidays here
TV so much better than others, though Matt hates the troops.
All right, we'll be that more.

Speaker 2: I don't want my immune system to be better.
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm forty, you know, and you little saying that
I'm forty two like I'm forty. Also, I don't want
people think I'm forty two years old forty as well,
forty as well, because I've sent you already over Flynn
by a month.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 4: Our guy Chris Marler put out an article on Louisiana
Sports dot Net Marler Monday, predicting the next head coach
for each job opening.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go through the list, Marler Monday. Marler Monday.
He wrote that he put his hand up, and he
wrote it a little self serving, Marlar.
Speaker 6: I should have called it malfreather. Marler Monday.
Speaker 2: Uh, that's good. Are you mad at me? He's for
the rest of the day. Good thing. He's not up yet, Marlar.
Just all right?
Speaker 4: So he lays out Auburn, he says, Kenny Dillingham, he
goes Florida, James Franklin, Arkansas, Bobby Petrino, Lsu He's got
two choices.
Speaker 2: You ready for this? One.
Speaker 4: Our choice number two, I'll tell you is John summer
Off from Tulane. Choice number one, Eli Drinkwitz Missouri. Okay,
that's your guy. Yeah, it is my guy. But you
don't think Missouri's in the SEC. So I want to
throw that to you.
Speaker 2: No, they're independent, right, so as well get Marcus Freeman.
Speaker 4: What do we think about Like if Auburn it's Kenny
Dillingham shout out to Alburn, I'd be a hell of
a hire. I don't know that with these jobs that
are open that that would be the move for Kenny
Dillingham to leave Arizona State to go there. But if
Alburn could get that done, that would be an incredible
situation for them. For James Franklin, going to Florida makes
sense because they tried the group of six coach that
was a young up and coming Billy Napier. Let's go
that route. Oftentimes right, wrong or indifferent. When you go
that route, you try to go to the opposite. So
they're going with the resume guy that we talked about yesterday, Right,
let's go with the resume resume, and so they feel
like that would maybe stabilize their program where they're at
Arkansas by Petrino. Sure, okay, why not? I mean it's Arkansas.
They haven't won an SEC game yet. They're scoring points,
so maybe if they get a new defensive staff in
with Bobby Petrino, maybe it can be successful because you know,
it is better than it was certainly, you know, offensively,
I know he's been calling plays, but you can tell
there's some real juice there and so.
Speaker 7: They're going to win some games though, to keep you yeah, first,
to get that, to get bumped from an sect, to
get something.
Speaker 5: Can he win one conference game?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all he needs to do.
Speaker 5: At one conference game.
Speaker 7: He's got it because they're playing well, they're playing everyone
so tight and close. But you do like to go
from interim to get I guess re anointed as the
head coach, like you have to win a game well.
Speaker 5: And then a lot of people wonder, how is this
guy going to do here? Bobby Petrina was pretty good
last time he was there, and that was a while back.
But also like head coaching openings, where's Arkansas actually fall
in that pecking order?
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, pretty well.
Speaker 4: Craig Lsu does not have a full time athletic director.
They have an interim athletic director with Verge Osbury. To
answer your question there acting athletic director, I don't know
that i'd agree with the Dillingham I just I think
if he lose Arizona State, it would have to be
for Lshue or Florida. I don't know that Auburn right
now with Kenny Dillingham, although again, if they could get
that done, it's.
Speaker 2: A tough sell. I mean, there's probably a lot of
coaches out there that would that would die to take
the Auburn job right as you see job like.
Speaker 7: It's tough to go from a successful program in a
place like the Big twelve.
Speaker 4: And TIMPI Arizona, which I'll look I love Auburn. Albo
is one of my favorite campuses to go to in
the SEC. But he's in Prepi Arizona.
Speaker 7: But like, yeah, you're and you're on the fast track up,
like your arrows ticking up. I don't know if the
jump you make to go from that type of program,
like maybe you stay there, maybe the job that you want.
Maybe you have five, ten, fifteen colleges earmarked. I don't
think Auburn would be one of them, just because you're
gonna throw yourself into the middle of the SEC and
play but kicking schedule every single year and you're fighting
against the eight ball, Like give me, You're you're starting
off in a program that needs a lot of work,
so you're gonna be going from something like and obviously
Auburn has proven that they have a pretty short lease
with coaches.
Speaker 2: So they're not giving them like this long, long time
frame to work with.
Speaker 7: So yeah, it have to be it have to be
a banger of a contract dealing him to do that
with a lot of guarantees and a lot of you know,
a lot of leash to work with. Yeah, I just
don't know if you're throwing yourself into the SEC on
a team that's at the bottom of the SEC, not.
Speaker 2: When you're at a team that made the playoff last year.
Speaker 7: When you're when you're a coach that could get the
Florida job if he wanted to, right, I would assume
he could get the Florida job if he wanted to.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think a lot of Kennedy dealing him.
Speaker 4: I mean what he did as an offenseve coordinator at
Oregon with Boat Nicks, what he's done at Arizona State
with sam Levitt. Sam Levit didn't start at Arizona State.
He started at Michigan State. And they, I mean, Kiddy's
got him playing when he's healthy at you know, top five,
top eight quarterback in the country level. And last year
we saw what he was able to do with Cam
Scataboo in that offense. But to your point about the
Auburn job, and we laid it out yesterday, since twenty
twenty one, six and seven, five and seven, six and seven,
five and seven and currently four and five, Yeah.
Speaker 2: That that's not having a bad season.
Speaker 4: That's having a bad decade, right, Like you've been real bad,
losing record every year.
Speaker 2: Bad.
Speaker 4: And again when we talk about like LSU you had
ten wins, ten wins, nine wins, you have five right now.
It's not to the standard that that LSU wants. And
there was things going on all around the program that
weren't heading in the direction that anybody really wanted. And
you didn't feel the Jews, you didn't feel the toughness
all of that, right, But still it is ten wins,
ten wins, nine wins, five wins compared to having a
losing record every single year since twenty twenty one, Florida.
Speaker 2: Has headed for three of the last four.
Speaker 4: The one that they did have a winning record, they
had to pull it out of there, you know what
at the end of the year and win what five
straight Yep.
Speaker 2: So just that like it kind of to put a
bow around.
Speaker 7: Like my point I was trying to make about Dellingham
not one like it doesn't to me, it doesn't feel
like a young up and coming head coach job.
Speaker 2: That's what it might. It might feel like.
Speaker 7: A coordinator becoming a first time or an ex really
good head coach looking to get back in the game.
Speaker 4: Because I think Dillingham is kind of disrespectful to him
for people just to you know, group him in with
certain young coaches that are trying to get their opportunity,
like that made the playoff last year, Right guy won
his conference. The guy was a fourth down stop away.
If quinn Ewers doesn't do a great job of changing
the protection on the fourth down to getting a win
in the playoff, and who knows what happens, right, Like,
he's already kind of been there, done that as far
as that portion of it, Like he's been to the
place that you're trying to get to. Ken Dillingham done it.
He's made the playoffs more than a no issue. Yes,
And you can say, well he did it because he
got the Big twelve. Okay, he was playing with Big
twelve players. You can make you could form your argument
however you want, and.
Speaker 7: It even makes a point even more valid. Like a
place like Auburn is not a place like for for
Kenny Dillingham type guy, an up and coming rising star
head coach.
Speaker 2: It's not gonna go to Auburn.
Speaker 7: No, He's gonna be looking at Florida, LSU, Penn State,
or like any of the top jobs.
Speaker 2: And if those aren't available, he just stays there's state,
Arizona state where I'm from.
Speaker 7: Ain't gonna go to beat our head against the wall
at Auburn.
Speaker 2: It's good to the SEC. I don't know who's gonna
go beat their head. Ain't gonna be Kenny dilling the
team that's had three buyouts since twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: And again I understand why, like why you put him there,
because that would be a home run type situation for them, Marler,
but it feels like they're gonna have to get a
James Franklin, a Jimbo Fisher.
Speaker 7: Feels like an established like a Dan Moll, like like
an established good or Kelly.
Speaker 4: Right, you think he wants and this isn't trying to
be funny. Do you think he wants to be in
the SEC anymore? No?
Speaker 6: Probably not to.
Speaker 5: Your point, dude.
Speaker 2: Like somebody that could maybe I mean is Alburn. They're crazy,
like ready having to make some weird money.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Albert's got a short, short leash, like somebody that
really doesn't have anything to lose, somebody that's already made
a name for themselves.
Speaker 7: I'd hire Jimbo, so we call it Jimbo. I'd I'd say,
damn all Jimbo. James Franklin, what would you?
Speaker 2: What did we say yesterday? Jimbo is forty five and
twenty five at A and now, yeah, I mean it's
not great, but like forty five and twenty five when
you've been it's also a national championship winning coach.
Speaker 4: He is let's see in a while, in a minute
eleven seventeen twenty two, you've won twenty six games since
twenty twenty one, so yeah, you'll take four five and
twenty A.
Speaker 7: Great talker and great for soundbites, so he'd be good
for entertainment.
Speaker 6: And also I don't think I heard not one Hugh
free SoundBite.
Speaker 2: No, hell, now, yeah you did. You'd hear some jimbos, right, I.
Speaker 6: Don't think I ever. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Jimbo also has been at Auburn before as a court like,
he's been there a long time, knows the place, already
has some relationships there, So I'm calling it now.
Speaker 2: I hate to leave. I'd hate to lose him on Tuesdays.
It's my co host.
Speaker 5: He knows too, which they were awful at now. Hugh
Freeze is supposed to be an offensive coach, but like
their defense this year is really really good. The problem
is their offense is like almost historically bad. Could turn
that around.
Speaker 2: DJ Dirkin right with thirty five Indy, how did you volunteer?
But you know about Ohio bo oh buddy, Yeah, win
forty eight hornboss, we could do it.
Speaker 3: The guys that are coaching out their alma maters are
going to be really hard to get away there.
Speaker 6: So I don't see Kenny being out for Auburn.
Speaker 2: No, no, not for Auburt.
Speaker 6: Honestly, I don't know if I even see him coming.
Speaker 4: To Elis I not might be like why, Yeah, I
made I made the playoff.
Speaker 2: My path is.
Speaker 4: I don't want to say it's easy because the Big
twelve is from top to bottom, it's really good. I
mean it's it's definitely got some parody in that conference.
But yeah, like when you get home, like whatever home is,
That's why, Like Dane Landing was always intriguing because like
he didn't have the home. Yeah, he went to a
small school. He didn't go to a you know, big
state U. So like there was always that chance you
could maybe get him away from wherever he was. Like
we're drink Gough drinks. I think he went to one
of the schools like in the Carolinas or something, or
one of the like he's.
Speaker 7: Already passed up home like whatever home was, Hey, I
need him. I didn't clarify something that in the chat here.
If anyone's confused about our if we didn't bring it
up enough, like we weren't saying Jimbo to l s
U thought about Auburn. There's people I think got mad
in the chat. No, we're not saying that we were
talking about the Auburn.
Speaker 2: We're talking about the Auburn job at the YELSU job.
Speaker 4: Uh Eli drinkings with the Arkansas Tech.
Speaker 2: So we're think he's gonna go back to it. I
don't think he's gonna go to Arkansas Tech.
Speaker 6: Maybe Arkansas.
Speaker 2: No, he's got a better job now.
Speaker 4: He is from uh he was born in Norman, Oklahoma.
Speaker 7: When we come back, I want to get your let's
get your thoughts because you know him personally. Yeah, so
when we come back from the break, I want you
to give give us your thoughts on drink and what
like his potential fit no fit, what you think about that?
Speaker 2: All right, and we'll do it right here on TV.
Speaker 5: Off the bench a right.

Speaker 9: Pelicanroof dot Com two thousand and seven shamps purple and
gold to the core.
Speaker 1: This is off the Bench with Hester and Flynn, Baton
Rougees go to for all things Louisiana sports secret way right, All.
Speaker 4: Right, all right, welcome back again, O t B here
live from the Raised Kine Studio.
Speaker 2: Laundr. Did you hear our bump music yesterday? Hear about it.
Speaker 6: I heard about it. I didn't hear the action.
Speaker 2: You would not have appreciated it.
Speaker 6: I don't think I'm hearing that.
Speaker 3: Y'all just played Disney music the entire time we did
this idea.
Speaker 7: Was then well, we were forced into it because of
the Disney dispute.
Speaker 6: I don't feel like that's.
Speaker 2: With YouTube television.
Speaker 6: Well, wouldn't you want to not play Disney?
Speaker 7: Well, because we quoted we quoted T Bob yesterday and
said the mouse always wins, So like we just gave
in that Disney's gonna win mouse because we agree he
will win.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Yeah, pretty much content.
Speaker 5: What do we sit on the YouTube TV ESPN? What
side are we on?
Speaker 2: I don't really.
Speaker 6: Care either because I think on both sides.
Speaker 2: Initially they come on YouTube TV side.
Speaker 5: It was initially, but remember they got into a dispute
with Fox and the NFL Sunday ticket literally two weeks
for the season.
Speaker 7: It's like a business play. I get it from a
business standpoint. You you you want the best you you
want the best content, and then if you have the content,
you want the biggest premium for it. I get that,
and I get contract disputes, But like at the end
of the day, the main your main goal is to
take care of your client customers. And if I gotta
go another weekend and I don't have it, I'm YouTube
TV's gone.
Speaker 2: I mean, Disney wins at that point.
Speaker 7: Yeah, if they don't have it by Saturday, my subscriptions
canceled and I'm gonna get that.
Speaker 2: Whatever Fubo or whatever you called it, or Hulu or
whatever it is.
Speaker 7: And that's the problem is Disney owns Hulu and Fubo,
the two other companies that YouTube TV competes again.
Speaker 5: Right, so but you know what, you know, they're gonna
have it.
Speaker 3: I know, if I had to pick a side, I
would say I'm on YouTube TV side. But I think
they're both greedy and I think it's annoying.
Speaker 7: I mean yeah, but I mean ESPN is the one saying, like, look,
we're paying for all these TV deals. Yeah, we're paying
the sec all this money for the rights. So I
gotta charge a little bit more ore cost, go up,
your CAUs go up. That's how business works.
Speaker 3: The YouTube TV would have to charge us more if
they make the deal with So I guess actually I
brought myself around.
Speaker 6: I'm on YouTube TV side.
Speaker 2: They're finding to the little guys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I just flipp and change from direct
TV stream to YouTube TV full time, and here we are.
Speaker 6: It used to be so simple.
Speaker 10: I will say that everything that YouTube TV doesn't hold
have any cards though. No, I feel like they're they're
they're playing a losing hand because I think.
Speaker 2: People are like me. If you got to go a
second straight weekend without college football, we're gone.
Speaker 5: And again, there's there's other ways to get ESPN, like
you gotta have.
Speaker 7: It, there is other ways to get it, but unless
you have YouTube TV apparently I have.
Speaker 2: I pay, literally pay.
Speaker 5: There's other streaming services outside of YouTube TV. You can
get a ESPN.
Speaker 2: You can illegally get it on YouTube. Just drop the
TV part.
Speaker 6: Just use crockstreams now.
Speaker 2: Yeah hmm, just get used to watching Big ten. No,
I can't do that.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: I'd rather play outside.
Speaker 6: At least the CW. You just need antennas.
Speaker 2: It's true, just bunny years, that's gonna be a mastered
a CC.
Speaker 7: Football's not never gonna w ain't going away, never gonna happen,
never gonna happen.
Speaker 5: Speaking of the c W, the Beulichick got his first
conference win over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Oh, good for him.
Speaker 5: Turn another around.
Speaker 2: Syracuse, Syracuse. That's embarrassing.
Speaker 5: So many injuries.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I'm gonna just go back to a
good old cable.
Speaker 2: Do you get that through cocks?
Speaker 6: Probably, right, or like direct TV or something.
Speaker 7: You can't get it through the air waves anymore. Right,
Bunny years don't work right anymore? No, Bunny You're still.
Speaker 2: Was not a thing.
Speaker 7: A couple of years ago. I thought they said that
bunnyiers don't work anymore. Really, I thought they still sell them.
They cut the streams off.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hadn't had a parent. Wow, can't at it?
So Eli drink with uh yeah, talk about it.
Speaker 2: So what do you think?
Speaker 7: So you know him personally? You have interviewed him a bunch.
I think you texted him every now and then. Yeah,
So like, what do you think that when you hear
those rumors of because I haven't heard you mention the
name a lot when we.
Speaker 4: Start talking about the LSU coach because I don't know
how realistic it is. Yeah, because he's built something pretty
pretty special at Missouri.
Speaker 2: I mean, let's let's take a look at specials.
Speaker 4: But one way to put it twenty twenty three, eleven
and two finished eighth in the country, beat Ohio State
in the Cotton Bowl. Twenty twenty four, ten and three
finished twentieth in the country. And this year, what are
they six, seven and two, seven and two maybe so, Yeah,
he's forty four and twenty six at his time at Missouri.
Early on, obviously, I think they were five hundred every
year before the bowl game, and then twenty twenty three
he's when they started to turn it around. He's had
top twenty recruiting classes every year since then. The state
of Missouri does have some special laws for them when
it comes to nil and they're the only FBS team
in the state of Missouri, right so even though ELS's
like a big dog, there's certainly other FBS teams, so
they have some advantages there At Missouri. It would all
be like, does he want to continue to elevate or
is he happy at a place like Missouri.
Speaker 2: That would be the question. Now, Hey, four and twenty
six is surprising him. I thought it'd be better.
Speaker 4: Well, his first year five five, six and six, six
and six, he just gave me Jim Jimbo's had a
better record overall. Well, he took over a really bad
Missouri football program, right, and so they've they've been in
bowl games every year, but the last three years of
when you've seen kind of the change and the turnaround
for drink.
Speaker 2: I know one thing, they go run the football.
Speaker 4: They're like consistently top twenty five in the nation since
he's been there running the football there tenth I believe
this year in running the football.
Speaker 2: So would you like it? Would it be a home run? Oh,
I'd like Drink? Yeah, I think a lot of Drink.
Speaker 4: You would probably keep I think your entire defensive staff
probably in place as well.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think you've said that. We've said that
about everybody almost.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like for like Drink and Blake Baker are
tight obviously from his time in Missouri, So you would
have some continuity there. You would have some familiarity like
with the players with obviously the defensive staff.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't have to learn a brand new staff.
Speaker 4: No, I mean I think I think Eli Drinkwitz has
shown that he can win at a place like Missouri.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go that far, I think. So, I mean
again in the sec six and two, five and three
at Missouri, Like what can you do at lsu KP.
Can you elevate that I have a metaphor gun to
your head right now, Eli Drinkwitz layne Kiffen.
Speaker 4: Metaphor and we'll answer that when we come back here

Speaker 4: Welcome back in OTB run to where you laughing at

Speaker 7: You gonna call it cherry red. They're big roll up dumpster.
If they don't call it Clifford, they're not even doing
it right.
Speaker 2: All right, Eli, drink what to Lane Kivin. Yeah, what
do you think, Bud. I've been on the edge of
my seat, honestly.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's like five or six guys that I
truly think could win at LSU, because I think LSU
is looking for something different. At least I hope they're
looking for something different, something like we've laid out and
how much you care about the job, that you know,
the desire to be great, all those type of things.
I honestly I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't care like either either one of the those
guys I think would probably do well.
Speaker 2: I do like how Drink runs the football. I love
the outside zone concept that they have. It's not trickam, dickam.
It is like straight up, hey, we're gonna line up.
Wants to But it's just different looks at different. It
is different. So I don't know.
Speaker 4: I certainly can make an argument for Drink. I think
when you would keep the defensive staff in place, you
have a relationship with them already.
Speaker 2: They they know this place. You're not starting over.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're talking about your edge rusher's coach, you're
talking about your defensive coordinator, you're talking about your safety's coach.
Already have coached under Eli Drinkwitz. I think that would
from day one be a smoother transition. Okay, so Eli overlane.
There it is heard it here.
Speaker 2: Hates Lane. Yeah, definitely said that. All right, we'll be
back our number two of oo TV off the bench,
