into it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like we'd hover above it a little bit,
like sprinkle a little bit.
Speaker 7: We just crop this, like we just fly right over it,
just barely touch it. Did Craig give us that one?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: And he had like a little hit a gift little video.
Speaker 5: Jiff I go with gift gift.
Speaker 6: I say gift only because the person who created him,
That's how he says.

Speaker 2: Jeff is already a word.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Jeff is already peanut butters.
Speaker 2: J I.
Speaker 7: So I follow up question, when you're texting the word gez,
how do you spell like geez geez?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 4: I used to say easy yeah, a whole lot.
Speaker 7: But one of my buddies when I was in Green
Bay evermore, it's like, why you keep saying geeze to me?
So so Gez to me is j It's like it's
like the Jeff. I thought it was smarter than us though, well, yeah,
that's what I thought about, And I was like, yeah,
I got it. G makes a sound I teach my children.
Speaker 9: But I thought it was because I thought or I
thought it was like j g's because I thought GS
was like you didn't want to say Jesus.
Speaker 5: So that's why j.
Speaker 6: E s I say, like when I'm in said Gesus,
I say Jesus, marry and Joseph like when I'm like.
Speaker 2: Or GZ can also it could be sure for g whiz.
Speaker 7: Then it would be a grue short for Jesus short
for g Wiz.
Speaker 4: No I ever say g Whizz punch me right in
the face.
Speaker 2: Good point. You're not Philip Rivers. I got it.
Speaker 6: You can crow hop me like crow hoped me hit
me and then say hey, Bud, you know why and
about You're right.
Speaker 4: What's why.
Speaker 7: Let's ask the chat right now? Is the is the
word g's when you're saying in a conversation. Is the
word g's short for Jesus or is it short.
Speaker 2: For g whiz?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 6: Can't wait to find out those results. Sitting on the
edge of my seat here.
Speaker 5: I'm very curious.
Speaker 2: So we've done a lot this week.
Speaker 7: I was listening to that I have that rejoined there?
Oh is that I get that word right? Rejoin?
Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty much, so that's what that's what we call
it here.
Speaker 7: We have denied a lot of science this week. Like
they thought enough of us about like denying science to
put it and.
Speaker 4: Put it in there. Yeah, what do you want to deny?
You want to think about it?
Speaker 5: We're not sunscreen people.
Speaker 2: No, well, hold on a second, that's Jake's that's the
dumbest take ever from Jake.
Speaker 5: Wait, you're a sunscreen person?
Speaker 7: Yeah, hell yeah, I'm not like I am. I'm not
the tough guy walking around being like, yeah, I'm tougher
than the sun. Right, it's just not me.
Speaker 2: That's stupid.
Speaker 4: But you gotta put something on your skin that is
tougher than the sun.
Speaker 5: That's crazy.
Speaker 8: See, I'm one of those people that don't care about
the last thing effects. It doesn't burn me. Now, I'm
good with it. I'll live with the others.
Speaker 6: Good for you, says the two pasty guys in here.
I got a little all right, milky, trying.
Speaker 7: To protect this protect the skin, bro, all right, Casper,
I told you I'm living at one twenty. Got protect
the skin, got the sunspots, the sunburn. I that's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2: You can't do. You're gonna have that weird looking skin.
Look leather, leather, Yeah, I can't do that.
Speaker 4: Leather faced Jacob, leather and weathered. I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good weather and eating out of a straw.
Speaker 4: That's right. At sixty five? Do you remember? And I
do want to get to the College Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6: They've got some nominees and we played against some of
these guys. You might have played with some of them,
so I do want to get there. But do you remember,
like when you like, are you JaMarcus Imri and whoever
would throw a pass late over the middle and Saban
which just like.
Speaker 2: I didn't say a lot. Hey Flynn, you're.
Speaker 4: Gonna have Dwayne Bow eating out of a straw. Stop.
You're gonna have to write miss a letter, dear miss Bo.
Dwayne was a good boy, but I decided to throw
laid over the middle and ended it all.
Speaker 7: That's such a good I don't remember it because I
kind of block a lot of those things.
Speaker 4: You probably had jim.
Speaker 6: Stretch that would he used to I mean saving it
because you know I'd be back there, I'd be back
there in the back and I'd be like, man, this
guy's he.
Speaker 7: Didn't say a lot to quarterbacks. He did fantas. He
let Jimbo do his.
Speaker 4: Thing, and he was very good about that.
Speaker 6: But if you threw late over the middle, that's really
the only time I remember him ever saying anything to.
Speaker 7: Y'all that throwing late over the middle and then in
practice having an unrealistic time and holding onto the ball
too long.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, you're not gonna have that red
jersey on in the game.
Speaker 7: And so we me and Marcus were it was a
first year, is our first spring training. So it was
right after the three championship. So like Saban's got a
big time like job on his hand trying to bring
everybody like back down to earth. So like I remember
that spring after the three National championship was a hell,
like it was the off season program like destroyed us,
Like he wanted to make sure that we.
Speaker 4: Even that summer. When I got here, I was like,
are y'all mad? Like what happened?
Speaker 2: Did we win? It's kind of wiome.
Speaker 4: That's that's the Benning Brazil story that we always tell.
Speaker 7: Right, but you could tell the Saban was like, all right,
we have to basically destroy these guys so they don't
ride the coattails. They have to get rid of the
three national blah blah blah. Anyway, we go out to
a scrimmage and he is crushing us for holding onto
the ball too long.
Speaker 2: He's like, you're just yelling a us red jersey, red jersey,
red jersey. I'm going to take that red jersey off you. Yeah,
well he did. We had a scrimmage, took that red.
Speaker 4: Jersey office, put a white one on, he said, put.
Speaker 2: A white one on. These quarterbacks are live, he said.
Speaker 4: Hit all of y'all are just like the young guys.
Speaker 2: Marcus Randall, Oh a ja Marcus.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 7: Now I don't think Marcus played quite as much as
you know he think me Marcus, and they're pretty good. Yeah,
and that was you know, Marcus, Marcus Spears was coming
into a senior year and yeah, we got lit up
multiple times, but you know, point taking nick point taken.
So instead of throwing it late across the middle, I
just you know it early across the medal, get it up.
Speaker 2: To the other probably a pick. I don't know, to
the other team that the same team.
Speaker 4: Gosh, I do.
Speaker 6: I do remember him giving Jimbo the ability to basically
be the head coach of the offense. Like he didn't
deal with coach Saban a lot. Now I had to
because in two thousand and four it was a weird deal.
I was starting fullback on the offense, but when the
twos were going on offense, I had to run over
to the other field to be the scout team running
back because we didn't like, we didn't have any young
running backs really because like you know, JB just came
up for a big year. He was a sophomore, Joe
was a junior, Shy Own was a junior senior.
Speaker 4: I can't really remember.
Speaker 6: Ali was a sophomore, and so you know, and those
guys were getting reps at running back with all four
so four, so I'd get my my first team reps
with fullback and then Saban you know, you know, he
has nickname for me, like Hey, stubby legs, get your
ass over here, and I'm like yes, and so I'd
go over there and I'd have to like but for
me in my mindset, like a lot of people with
the scout team, like a scout team. But I knew
if I wanted to ever play running back, man I
gotta show Bobi's gotta spin over here, right if he
wants to say, hey, look at that run, or it's
a nice run, all right, maybe he can't play running back.
Speaker 4: And so man, I had to give like max max effort.
Speaker 6: I my first like three weeks, I was questioning, am
I built for this?
Speaker 2: Well? No, that's the answer. Built it?
Speaker 4: Can I do? Can I? Can I be a freshman,
true freshman, no red shirt?
Speaker 6: Start at fullback over here, learn all this stuff right,
and then go over here and also do scout team
and give maximum effort over here too, and still be
alive to tell the tale.
Speaker 2: That you had to have been in like great shape
though after two weeks I was.
Speaker 6: But that was another problem though, because we were trying
to gain weight. Matha was trying to put pounds on
me and you know that's impossible, Yes, sir?
Speaker 4: Why you underweight? Tommy?
Speaker 2: I mean locked the coach. That was something.
Speaker 7: So that was the year James Coley run the scout team.
So James Coley went on to I don't know where
he is now, but like offensive quarter.
Speaker 2: At Florida State.
Speaker 7: He's been everywhere, but he was a he was from
Miami and he was our GA that year that Jimbo
had brought in. And so the main offensive GA runs
the scout team. And by running the scout team means
like you're in the huddle with the whole team. So
the offense, we're not running our plays. No, he holds
up a card that shows everybody where to go, shows
the routes they run, show the block in the and
then you know, ready break. And James Coley was one
of the only dudes on a scout team that brought.
Speaker 4: The juice, Oh let's go.
Speaker 7: And so we would talk trash to the defense and
it was but you're right on the scout team and
you talk very experience. Had a lot of years playing
scout team in both levels, right, it is like your
opportunity to show the coaches what you can do.
Speaker 2: I remember, like, so.
Speaker 7: You get you'd watch this, uh, you'd get the card
put up in front of you and the defensive coaches
and always wanted you to throw it to.
Speaker 2: A specific guy.
Speaker 7: They went, they'd have like a like a smash concept,
so a hitch on the outside with the corner above
a you know, it's a high low concept type of path.
Speaker 2: So they're like, all right.
Speaker 7: We're gonna run the smash concept, throw three steps and
throw to the hitch.
Speaker 2: He'said, that's what they did on film. They threw to
the hitch on film. And I'm like, all right.
Speaker 7: So I go out there, set hut and they're playing
cover two and cover two means they have like a
rolled up corner and the hitch is never going to
be open. But it's a lockeditch because you have a
corner of it. So I throw the corner and I
complete it against the starters. Yeah, and the defensive coaches
and what are you going?
Speaker 4: Followed dir actions, I told you to throw the damn hedge.
Speaker 7: And I'm like, I but like, but but I hit it.
There's a touchdown. I'm sorry. Do you think David Green,
David Green's gonna throw the hitch?
Speaker 4: Jason Campbell, you can't throw it. You gonna throw the hitch?
Speaker 2: I used to piss defensive coach.
Speaker 7: Especially when you take a lot to get mass, especially
like when I was like more established to at L
s U. You know, after the peach Ball, I was
still the Scout Team quarterback.
Speaker 4: You and Bo Polini then are going at.
Speaker 7: It, going at it the best was like in the NFL,
ME and Gus Bradley and he was a defensive coordator
in saddle were a little bit talk, so much mess
to each other. I hate to jump from my yellow
shoe to that, but it is one one really good story.
So Pete Carroll and Seattle, he had this, uh turnover
I think it's turnover Wednesday or turnover Thursday. Yeah, turnover
Thursday where he would count. He would count like the
offenses the offense won this week, and it would be
a big deal. He'd celebrate it the next day like
if but he counted Scout Team and I didn't. We
didn't realize this. So there were like week four or
five and like Scout Team, you throw picks because this
is the rep. I know you got to read it,
but I really want you to throw this because I
want to see how my mic linebacker trails. But of course,
like Earl Thomas is up there, he's just like reading
eyes and so you throw picks and Scout team that's
just the nature of the beast. The next day, like, oh,
the offense lost because the defense got a pick in
this drill. I'm like, I I got you, I got
you this. This is like a competition, your counting scout
team here. So the next day I come out and
of course on offense where we don't do them our
offense for scout team, you're not gonna throw picking that.
So I go back, I drop back and I take
all my dump passes. I'm taking checkdowns and if it's
not open, I threw it fifty yards out of mounds.
Out of mounds. Yeah, And the secondary coach would be
come up to me and he's like, man, I gotta
have I gotta see my guy defend this route.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I got you, said hut into the lake
total PRAC and Gus Bradley he's walking around, he's looking
at him. He's like, all right, let's see you. I'm like, Gus,
what's up, dude, you can't get a pick? Y'all suck?
This is like yeah, so like we're talking trash and
blah blah blah.
Speaker 7: So this goes on for multiple weeks, and of course
we were winning, like every week the offense is winning,
and uh, I look over one time and Gus Bradley's
walking by and like seven on seven he walks behind
the linebackers and he holds up a piece of paper
and it says, f you Flynn.
Speaker 2: I was like mad respect for you, buddy. Yeah, but
it was good. It was.
Speaker 7: But that's you know, that's a little trip down memory
lane from my skelet team stuff.
Speaker 4: Man ol P. Carroll, he h Yeah, he definitely loved
the raw ross stuff.
Speaker 2: It was funny.
Speaker 7: I mean, I get it like in training camp practice,
but yeah, scout team, I'm thirty.
Speaker 10: I got a couple of kids at the house, not
really into competition. Wednesday, Hey dB coach who is younger
than me. I'm not gonna say yeah, no, I'm gonna
read it. Oh and if it's not the right I'm
gonna slide my protection so you don't have a free
runner in my face.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, that was fun. Gus Bradley is the man
that did y'all have that guy real quick?
Speaker 4: Did y'all practice against teams in Seattle and camp?
Speaker 7: No, I never had never was part of a training camp,
thankfully where we practiced against it.
Speaker 6: We Practicegainst Dallas every year because they were in Oxnard
and we were in San Diego, and it was like
a little train ride.
Speaker 7: When I was in New England, I think we were
going up to practice with someone, like the week I
got cut, and I think the following week they were
going up for like week two of training camp to
practice with somebody.
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna get too far, but like those practices
every period, so you got twelve thirteen periods in a
practice inside run seven on seven, team blitz pick like
all that. Right, It's it's like a game rep every
rep because you're going against another NFL player from another team.
Speaker 4: There's no brother in law deal. You know, it's full four.
Speaker 6: It's ready to like you're you know, either you're established
and you're trying to you know, be the alpha to
the other team, or you're trying to make a team.
Speaker 7: And most people, forget, fifty percent of the people on
both rosters are rookies trying to make it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh for sure, Yeah, not like only like thirty
thirty five people out of you know, however many are there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, are eighties established that so most people are either second, third,
fourth year guys trying to grind or get off practice squad,
or for rookies because you carry eighty eighty five to camp,
I believe, so most of them are people that are
out there that cannot afford to take a place.
Speaker 6: I don't know if you'll remember this name. I think
I know Taytay will remember this name because he's a
Cowboys fan. But they had a linebacker, Sean Lee played
for Penn State. I mean, just the ultimate white guy linebacker,
ultimate meathead. Like you're like, hey, create me, yeah mead
heead white linebacker out of the Big ten, Shon Lee.
And we're practicing against Dallas, and I think this one
was actually down in Dallas because we were playing them
in the preseason. After that, that's another thing, like you
practice all week getting seventy three fights, and then you
play them on the weekend in the preseason. But I
have never seen somebody have total disregard for their body
like Sean Lee. And that's why you always got hurt.
He can never he can.
Speaker 7: He retired because of like a neck injury. I think
he's one of those guys that, like you hated the
linemen and running backs. Hated because of his motor just never.
He just played past the whistle type of guy.
Speaker 6: Oh man, and I just remember we're doing like half
line drill, like half line run, like twenty thirty ISO,
like me versus you. Like he's just like bowl in
the ring, and we're just just over and over again.
I'm just like, all right, man, all right, here we go.
It's gonna do it again. And then finally Nora's like, hey, Randy,
Randy McMichael, get in there at full back. Randy hated
full back. He couldn't stand it. It's like I'm a
tight end.
Speaker 4: What am I doing?
Speaker 6: And Sean Lee was in there and Randy's like, I
ain't doing it, Like what, I ain't going against that
crazy ass white boy.
Speaker 2: You need to get him out of there.
Speaker 4: I'm not going against this guy.
Speaker 6: This guy thinks right now we're playing in the super Bowl.
I'm in year thirteen or whatever it is. Get him
out of here or I'm.
Speaker 4: Not going I mean, he's straight up, he's like, I
ain't going.
Speaker 2: I'll cut his ass.
Speaker 6: He's like, hester you want to get back in here,
you can. I'm not doing that because he's like a
white man. That's the tempo that Sean Lee practiced at.
And my guy and Randy's like a tough guy, so
it wasn't that He's just like, dude, I'm in year eleven,
I'm established, I'm a tight end. Y'all want me to
play f I'm not really about that life. He stopped
the practice, like you get this crazy ass white boy
out of here.
Speaker 4: I'm not doing it. That's so not doing it.
Speaker 7: And Sean Lee like we're looking at this picture right here,
like he was well built and pretty bad.
Speaker 2: He wasn't big enough to nothing like that.
Speaker 6: Like, no, his body wasn't built for how he played.
And I respect the hella, oh for sure, because he's like,
I'm going to get vested barely. They're barely gonna get vested.
Not because I can't play, but because my body can't
keep up with how I play.
Speaker 2: I ain't here for a long time. I'm here for
a good time.
Speaker 4: And that's what Sean Lee absolutely was.
Speaker 6: All right, when we come back, I do want to
get into some of the College Football Hall of Fame
just because we played against with some of these players
that are going in the Hall of Fame. It tells
us a couple of things. One they were good players too.
We're getting old and we'll come back more otb ffter

Speaker 7: That's probably the one that's I've probably heard the most. Yeah,
back in the day of the Propets, I probably got.
Speaker 2: A little fatigued.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can see why you hadn't listened to.
Speaker 2: It a long time.
Speaker 4: So I'm saying, like, I have you heard your game? Like,

Speaker 5: I love the outfit he has on in this picture,

doesn't love the shirts, but he has like these stripe
pants on.
Speaker 4: Who hate shirts more Lenny Kravitz or Chris Dorry.
Speaker 8: It's a tough, tough that's a toughbbit because I couldn't
see Lenny Kravitz in a suit ever, like, and I've
seen Dorian in it.
Speaker 2: True true.
Speaker 4: All Right.
Speaker 6: College Football Hall of Fame got some nominees here that
I think a lot of us are going to recognize.
Speaker 4: Some notable ones here, Cam Newton.
Speaker 6: Of course at Auburn, Mark Ingram and Alabama, Robert Griffin
the third at Baylor, and Dominican Sue at Nebraska, Mantiiteo
at Notre Dame, some other names. You got the cow
connection here, little DeShawn Jackson and Marshawn Lynch and Ron Rivera.
Shout out to Ron Rivera, my guy, Johnathan Villma from Miami,
Demico Ryans from Alabama and uh Brad Colepepper from Florida.
But like all those names all obviously it's while they're
here like studs, and we probably got stored. I know,
you get, you know, teammates with Marshawn. I was with
Ron Rivera when he was our DC in San Diego.
But like I played against you know a number of
these guys you did as well. The one that doesn't
get talked about enough because of where his school was
then to where it went kind of directly after him
is Demico Ryans when he was at Alabama. We played
in Tuscaloosa in two thousand and five, and a lot
of people forget because it was pre Saban that that
was a really good football team.
Speaker 4: They were undefeated at that point.
Speaker 6: Now they lost to US and it also in the
Iron Bowl the next week, and so they finished I
think eight and two, but.
Speaker 4: They were undefeated. It was a top ten matchup, and
we went there and won in overtime.
Speaker 6: And that defense had you know, Walls, Gilberry, it had
Demiko Ryans, it had Roman Harper.
Speaker 2: Was it Shula?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Sheula was the head coach.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 6: That was a good squad that gets completely forgotten about
because then they go on the Alabama run.
Speaker 4: But when I say Demiko was one of.
Speaker 6: The better college football players that I played against, it's
like he's in the rare air group of like top
five man early two thousands, get your fits right here. No,
it's not who's your tailor, who's your Taylor? The taylor
means a lot.
Speaker 7: So like picture pictureko in like a current uniform, Like
how much better like swagger?
Speaker 6: Imagine if he had like the same tailor that the
Ravens have, because everybody looks good in the Ravens.
Speaker 4: Uniform, You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean that those were some Do you remember that
game in two thousand and five?
Speaker 2: Vague vaguely remember that game?
Speaker 1: Go?
Speaker 2: Who do we we?
Speaker 4: Deebo? I think in the end the.
Speaker 6: Markets because five oh five five.
Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty Croyle Alabama?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Brodie Oyle was the Alabama quarterback who would have been
the third Quarterbay, so as Juju Marks and who that year?
Speaker 2: No five, nobody, just y'all two.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, because I remember we went into the Peach
Bowl with uh Jimmy Well carry as a backup.
Speaker 6: That's true, right, Jimmy Yeah, say Jimmy, Yeah, say Jimmy
A fell.
Speaker 7: Yeah that was those quarterback rooms were that we were
part of a wild because there's so much smaller than
quarterback rooms these days. Yeah, it was wild because yeah,
me and JaMarcus were the only scholarship quarterbacks on the on.
Speaker 6: The What a dangerous time that was because y'all were
the same age, so if you would have decided to leave,
it would have been Jay Russ and Jimmy Walker.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. I'm gonna get a little vulnerable here. People
almost did.
Speaker 4: I don't think that surprises anybody.
Speaker 2: I mean not this day and age, but at the time.
Speaker 4: No, but even like but like at.
Speaker 6: When you played, you played really well, and then you
went to a Peach Bowl against a top ten Miami
team and we diced them up throwing the ball, run
the ball offense.
Speaker 7: With see I was thinking, see I'd already been I
think thought about it before the Peach Bowl because of
everything that happened then, but at that time you had
to go, you had to go down.
Speaker 6: So I'd have to go to one double A. You
would have to go like Sam Houston c Yeah, you
have to do that for to kind of make your way.
Speaker 2: But I mean, look, we both read charted, We're both
the same age, so.
Speaker 4: Like what were and he was trending in a good direction,
trended pretty good, pretty good direction.
Speaker 7: But like you know, my dumb ass, it's like where
I go to the Peach Bawl and to play well,
I'm like, oh, yeah, I got him.
Speaker 4: I can get them, Jimbo.
Speaker 6: Jimbo will tell me off the record, on the record
whatever that y'all truly did go into every all season
with it being an open battle, right, I got and
I kind of I believe him. Even when JaMarcus was
playing really really well, like it's still.
Speaker 2: Well, that does like make me feel good. But then
it's like, also, man, I lost a lot.
Speaker 4: A lot it was over. Uh when did you think
about leaving? It was after the Peach Bowl year.
Speaker 7: It was before so it was before the actual Peach Bowl.
It was during that season towards the end of the season.
Is trending what were we we were sophomores, because I
remember at the Peach Bowl like, yeah, we're sophomores.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was a red strot.
Speaker 7: Softomare you're a true sophomore. So I remember like the
week of the Peach Bowl. You're there for a whole week.
Speaker 2: I remember.
Speaker 7: I didn't have the conversations with it, but like there
were smaller school coaches there talking to my parents and
like talking to stuff like nothing like real serious because
I was about the team. They didn't They didn't schedule
the meetings. They were just there, right, So what at
anything serious is just say, hey, man, you know gives
all thinking about it.
Speaker 6: It makes sense. It makes all sense in the world.
I mean obviously what you did against that team. But
then I don't actually know if I still would have
if JaMarcus would have come back after the Sugar Bowl.
Speaker 7: Yeah, if Jamus would have come back, I was it
had to because the rules the rules were actually different
at that time. So the rules were you could transfer,
if you graduated, you could you could make a lateral transfer.
So at the time, you know, my academics, I had
like been't really trying to stack the hours leading up
to that, Did you graduate.
Speaker 2: Yeah didn't did you really? Yes? I did?
Speaker 7: Bro all right, all right, four I graduated four and
a half.
Speaker 2: Asking Yeah, I just I like, I like the light
load you know, during the season, but.
Speaker 4: During that would have been an issue.
Speaker 1: So no.
Speaker 7: Six, it had to go like a lot of summers,
Jamarus is having his you know, number one overall pick
like type season, and so I'm like, all right, I
got really no options here, like everybody knows. No one's
gonna like fault me for this, right, I got you know,
I remember even like some of the assistants on the
staff or like hey, like you know, I got friends
in different places.
Speaker 2: They want to talk, you know, all the all stuff
like that because.
Speaker 7: We're all a family, like everyone wants no one wants
to see me like not do anything.
Speaker 2: But I'm like, all right, I got to get.
Speaker 4: Some hours in.
Speaker 7: So I took before the Sugar Bowl when we played
notre Name, I signed up for Winter session.
Speaker 2: So winter session is like it's like summer school or
like intercession. So nobody did that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's like you cram a whole semester into
two weeks during Christmas break, So I start taking that.
So I think I was doing two classes in that
or something, and then I had I had to schedule
like twenty four hours for the spring or something like that.
Speaker 2: My brother, your first three years in code, well, I
mean I still I was going, well that's another segment.
That's a whole other seven.
Speaker 7: But we're going and I'm about one week into it
and JA Marcus makes his decision to go out. And
so you know, I've always loved JaMarcus, so I always
give him so much credit on this because you know,
he he he knew the position I was in, certainly,
so he told, you know, his friends, his family, his
agent knew. And then I was one of the first
people he told after that, right, because he knew, Hey, look,
I just want you to know it's your team. Yeah,
after this, I'm gonna go to the draft. So that point, yeah,
I canceled them hours for the spring. I was like
a weekend of winter session.
Speaker 4: Did you drop out?
Speaker 7: I had an a too, dropped it. Yeah, I just
didn't drop that dropped out on that Yeah, so such
a but then you know, it was one of those
but if but you know, if it didn't happen, you know,
the butterfly effect of everything. Who knows, Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 4: Oklahoma, but I got a draft is not always a rumor.
Speaker 2: That was a rumor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oklahoma, that was a yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: That's what I probably good that it didn't happen because
Sam Brafford was there. It was gonna be like a
maybe to go there.
Speaker 4: God, no, what if you had have gone there.
Speaker 2: Like stuck the foot under a car or something to
break it, and yeah.
Speaker 6: I get your school paid for. It's like our boy
Jordan Reever, y'all don't know who that is, but my class.
He was a preferred walk on from Garland, Texas, a
good quarterback he had, he had like you know, like
North Texas and you tap and like offers like that.
But he wanted to come to LSU to compete or whatever.
I always, you know, give that an out of boy
for wanting to be competitive. But look he got here
and it was like, oh Man, Flynn, JaMarcus, all these
guys they're young, right, they're only a year ahead of me.
Speaker 4: They red shairs that were the same year.
Speaker 6: And so he transfers and he goes to Sam Houston
State and you know he's thinking, I'm gonna play right away.
We're gonna go Sam, I'm going down because they weren't.
They're up now, but they were down. The day after
he transfers to sam Houston State, Rett bow Markets kicked
off Oklahoma's football team and goes to sam Houston State.
Speaker 7: Rett Omar. For those of y'all that don't remember, don't know,
he was like the number one overall player in high
school football coming out to Oklahoma quarterback. Yeah, didn't pan
out obviously, But.
Speaker 6: I wonder what Jordan Reaver's doing right now. I bet
he's He went missing for like three days one time missing.
I don't want to speak slander or anything. He might
be like a politician or something, but he did go
missing for three year for three days because I was
he was.
Speaker 2: I was a roommate of his.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you was with you, Kyle, him and Peter, Peter
above me, Steltz and Luke during your during your freshman year,
and it was like, yeah, where is Jordan.
Speaker 7: We can't see him. We're knocking on his door. No
one's heard from him. Like this guy might be in
Missippi River or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7: All of a sudden, one afternoon, he walked out of
his room like rubbing his eyes, like, oh, what's.
Speaker 2: Up, guys? That was a good nap.
Speaker 4: He was in his room.
Speaker 6: We're beating on his door trying to figure out where
he's at, like almost like to the point where you're
gonna call the authorities. It was all seasons, so we
didn't have football activity, but he was just in his room.
I was a little bit of a fun couple of nights.
Speaker 7: I was an extremely accomplished sleeper in college. But that
he dominated me.
Speaker 2: He did, he did.
Speaker 6: I'm going to look up, like where are they now
with Jordan Reaver when we come back. But when we
do come back, we got a little pontuned parlay we're
gonna put together for the super Regionals. We want to
play these Arkansas clips as well, where Flynn through the
shortest hell Mary in the history of hell Mary's.

Speaker 4: All right, what am I getting? OTV?
Speaker 6: Let's put together a little pontoon parlay. So the way
we're going to do this, and any objections please let
me know. I will go over the eight super regionals,
and since we've got four of us in here, you
know majority is gonna win out. If it's a split,
we'll have a discussion. But we go over the eight
and then we pick our five favorites. Because you have
to understand, some of these teams are like minus four
hundred win yeah, and move on to Omaha. So if
we do like three minus four hundred teams, guess what,
You're not gonna get paid back a lot, right, Like,
you're probably not even gonna get your money back. So
let's go through the eight. We had all of them,
it's pick some winners, That's what I'm saying. If we
had all of them, but it's gonna be five. We
are though, all right?
Speaker 4: In Louisville, do we like the Miami Hurricanes or do
we like the host Louisville Cardinals.
Speaker 8: I like Louisville personal I was.
Speaker 5: Gonna say, I actually like Louisville in this one.
Speaker 8: I know we we talked about Southern Miss like that
was a tough regional. I didn't think Miami was going
to get out of that regional like Louisville.
Speaker 4: Coming into the postseason.
Speaker 6: Miami got run rule twelve to two by CAL and
the ACC tournament, Cal had a losing record. They limped
into the postseason. They did get down in Hattiesburg. But
I like Louisville as well. They got out of the
Nashville Regional.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they've just had a more consistent Yeah, much more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, louisgo thousand percent. They're more hydrated.
Speaker 8: This is we appreciate it.
Speaker 6: Hey, listen, I'm gonna put a check mark by them
because that does mean something. All right, let's go out
west of Los Angeles, UCLA and the road Runners of
ut Say, who do we like?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 8: I love UTSA. I know we were talking about it
when I was filling in, Like me and Lingerie. Look
at it's like everybody says it's Austin Regional's easy. It's
really not. I mean they've won they're forty seven and thirteen. Yeah,
Ucla is really good. I mean they've won forty five games.
Speaker 3: This year.
Speaker 8: I like UTSA, but I think I think their luck
runs out.
Speaker 6: We got two Texans here in the studio. I am
going to go with the two Texans that we have
beat beat give me the road Runners.
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna go with you. I like UTSA
in this one.
Speaker 9: It feels like if you can knock Texas out their
own regional in Austin, you could probably knock UCLA out.
Speaker 4: They're really UTSA though, isn't that large team?
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, they're really good.
Speaker 4: They earn the right really win their conference.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I kind of have to go with UTSA on this one,
all right, Flynn underd.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one's easy, uh big?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: Okay, because Los Angeles and.
Speaker 4: Flynn hates California.
Speaker 5: I'm not a Cali person either.
Speaker 6: All right, let's go to Corvallis where it's Oregon State
and Florida State eight nine matchup. Remember, Oregon State lost
their first game of their regional and then they put
up football scores to win out. Florida State wins their
regional as well. Beavers versus Seminoles, who do we like?
Speaker 9: So I kind of feel like Florida State might have
a bit of an advantage. Advantage over Oregon State even
though it is in Oregon. They have a tougher conference
that they.
Speaker 4: Play in Orgon State didn't have a conference.
Speaker 5: Yeah, although they like petition.
Speaker 6: They played seventy five percent of their games on the road.
Oregon State did because of it.
Speaker 8: These teams are really I think they're evenly matchup. I'm
only going to Oregon State because they're hosting. Yeah, that's
where I'm at on that.
Speaker 4: Glynn.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the zero pitches from either one of these.
Speaker 4: All right, Elandro.
Speaker 5: I kind of want to go Florida State on this one.
Speaker 9: But if I'm going to get out ruled, then I
don't hate the Oregon State play.
Speaker 8: I mean it's it's a tough one. I'm only going
to Oregon State because they're at home.
Speaker 6: Like that's yeah, I'll go to Oregon State too, but
I gotta feel and that's not going to be in
the parlay.
Speaker 4: I'll go Florida State.
Speaker 6: Then, Uh yeah, your dynamic here Duke and Murray State.
Does Murray State continue on or does the luck run out?
Remember Duke went to Athens and they won that regional.
They were not a host in the regional, but we
all saw what Murray State it in Oxford.
Speaker 4: That's four seed.
Speaker 8: I don't know because I mean me and Landre we
we really thought Georgia I had one of the easy regionals.
I mean we were talking about it and Duke surprised everybody. Yeah,
Murray State looks so good.
Speaker 2: I don't know too much about you want to do it.
Speaker 4: We gotta get some juice here somehow.
Speaker 2: I want the.
Speaker 4: Fourteen coaching them boys.
Speaker 5: On the dimes.
Speaker 4: A doesn't have juice to it some Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: If you can't cheer for the team that knocked don't
miss out, then what are we doing?
Speaker 6: Very fair fair h l s u duh duh, All right, Okay, Uh,
you want to go West Virginia?
Speaker 2: Nope, just kidding.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: North Carolina and Arizona not like North Carolina. Carolina seems hot.
Speaker 5: They are both hot and really well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll go North Carolina and Arizona is really good baseball.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go you and see because they're one of
my favorites to win it.
Speaker 6: Okay, and it feels like they're on the verge of
taking another their step in their baseball program. Yeah, like direction,
and I think this win will get them to that step.
Get back to in Hall.
Speaker 2: The Arizona Wildcats bear.
Speaker 4: Down hydrated Auburn versus Coastal Carolina.
Speaker 5: This one's also tough.
Speaker 8: I actually think I like Coastal Carolina.
Speaker 9: Scoil is very hot right now, and I think I
like them overalls.
Speaker 8: Well they've been they've been hot. It looks really good
in the regional. There's one team in the Supers that
is won over fifty games, and it's Coastal Carolina.
Speaker 6: They know how to win the fighting. Mike Tolbert's my guy.
I'm going Coastal Hansole so hot right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you know what? Do you know what Coastal's
mascot is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little bird I'm looking at right there,
which is the what is it?
Speaker 8: The sea bird?
Speaker 2: Coastal bird?
Speaker 4: Ospray chant the clear anyway?
Speaker 2: Like what is that?
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 8: Okay, so I shot to clear. It was like, no,
this is not a joke. It's like an aggressive rooster.
Speaker 6: All right, Okay, I'm gonna go with Auburn because it
just means more gross, all right. Peter Burns, Arkansas, Tennessee.
Speaker 2: What a compliment, Thank you.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go Arkansas.
Speaker 8: They're hosting the Tennessee got hot.
Speaker 4: That's what you can be doing.
Speaker 5: More solid team than Tennessee.
Speaker 8: Tennessee got hot. Arkansas has been a little bit more
consistent YI brothers.
Speaker 6: Tennessee is more worried about, you know, the swag and
looking cool, which is fine, like whatever, whatever, But Arkansas
feels like the complete opposite of that.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think Arkansas wins.
Speaker 5: Yeah, give me Arkansas.
Speaker 4: Flynn loves the flair.
Speaker 2: I do, and they're hydrated. Let's go Tennessee.
Speaker 5: I don't hate flair, but they do it in a
way that I don't like.
Speaker 4: All Right, So who's like? Okay, so who's hydrated?
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 4: We are about half okay? So is Louisville hydrated?
Speaker 2: Y U?
Speaker 6: T s A Yes, okay, Oregon State Murray stately kind
of look LSU, Yeah, you and c Arizona, Oh Coastal Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee.
Speaker 5: Man, Okay, you're HYDRATINGTNS.
Speaker 6: So, Louisville, UTSA, and LSU are the three hydrated teams
from our picks. We'll put that together and see what
kind of odds we get if we parlay those.
Speaker 5: Three times high teams.
Speaker 4: My high three team parlay.
Speaker 6: Okay, we'll see if it hits When we come back
to wrap up our number two, we get the hell Mary.
