Speaker 1: All Star Toyota Presents Off the Bench. We have to
Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where.
Speaker 1: The plays get broken down and science gets denied.
Speaker 2: I got to come off the Bench.
Speaker 1: Hour two of Off the Bench Live from the Mercedes
Benz Baton Rouge Studio starts now.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back now number two, O TV one,
O four five, ESPN Baton Rouge.
Speaker 4: Over the last couple of days.
Speaker 3: May really last couple of weeks. We have given you
the OTB Top twenty five. Now there's an ap pole,
there's a coaches poll. Those are out there, but do
they really matter?
Speaker 2: No, They're awful. They're terrible.
Speaker 3: If you're trying to figure out who the twenty five
best teams in college football are, well, we're gonna give
it to you here on the OTB Top twenty five.
Speaker 4: Let's give me a quick recap.
Speaker 3: Twenty five Boise State at twenty four, Memphis at twenty three,
Baylor twenty two, Georgia Tech twenty one, Tennessee twenty, Iowa
State nineteen, Texas A and M eighteen, Indiana seventeen, Ole,
Miss sixteen, Florida fifteen, Texas Tech at number fourteen SMU
and we'll throw it to a Landra blank Space villar
Real for the number thirteen team in the country.
Speaker 5: The number thirteen team in the country according to the
OTB Top twenty five pole we're gonna do in the
Big Twelve at number thirteen is Arizona State.
Speaker 2: Let's go go so.
Speaker 5: I know that they're returning a lot of their starters,
about seventy nine percent of their team from last year's
coming back this year. You know when the Big twelve
came out of nowhere and kind of just made a
name for themselves. Yeah, they made a name for themselves,
obviously headed up by Cam Skataboo. They lose Cam this season,
and I obviously that's a big hit. They have Sam
Levitt still who is now in the top ten to
win the High like projected to win the Heismans tied
with Gunner Stockton and one other person I can't remember who.
But they have Kayson Brown at running back to fit
that or to replace Cam s Kataboo. They also get
Army transfer Kanye uda Udo Junior. So yeah, shout out Kanye.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 5: Kayson Brown got some minutes last season two and win camp.
Speaker 4: The three guys named Brown last name Brown.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at the running back position, but that doesn't confusing
at all.
Speaker 5: Leak Brown is the other one. So they do miss
Camp's gottaboo. That's gonna be a big hit that they take.
But I'm looking at their schedule. So we were talking
about this yesterday. I don't remember if it was on
air or off air, but you know, Matt was talking
about how you're trying to predict how they're gonna end
the season, and I just find Arizona State on the
outside looking in. First went out for the College Football
Playoff this season. I'm looking at their schedule and it's
pretty favorable. They start off at Arizona State versus Northern Arizona,
and then they played Mississippi State Texas State, but then
they got Baylor at Baylor on September twentieth, host TCU
at Utah, and then they host Texas Tech Houston at
Iowa State, host West Virginia at College Dodo, and then
they close off the season versus Arizona at home as well.
And you know, we got a few of these in
our top twenty five, so we got Texas Tech up there,
we got Baylor, and I just think that like the
schedule is going to be where they're going to have
a little bit of challenges, especially with Texas Tech and.
Speaker 3: Baylor's chaotic energy surrounding in a good way. Yeah, it's
going to be like week to week, it's going to
be very difficult to win games there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's who I got at thirteen Arizona State.
I felt like it was going to be maybe unpopular
in this room.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Arizona State's a good football team. I think Arizona State,
like you said, returns a ton of production. They've got
Sam Levitt, They've got Jordan Tyson. Jordan Tyson missed obviously.
The run last year was out of that quarterfinal game
against Texas, a double overtime loss. They were a play away.
If they stop them on that fourth down, they win
the game. And that was without their best receiver. So
camp Scataboo certainly was the engine on that team.
Speaker 4: I understand that.
Speaker 3: But if there's one position that you can replace quickly,
it is the running back positions. Well, we always say it,
young guys, freshmen can come in. There's not a lot
of thinking when it comes to that position in today's
college football because you don't have a lot of pass
protection responsibilities anymore. There's no cross scanning key protections anymore.
It's like you'll check Will linebacker and get out, you'll
free release and get out. You'll check maybe Will free
safety and get out. So they've got a couple of
running backs that I think it's going to be by
committee for sure. They're not going to replace Cam Skataboo
with one player. You can get a thousand yard rusher
from Army, that is great, but he is look coming
from Army. Pass protection probably had three of those all
year longer a year ago, so that's going to be
something to pay attention to. But for Arizona State as
a program, think about where they were for the last
two years. Like Kenny Dillingham, I think is one of
the best young coaches in college football. Think of what
he did with Bo Nicks by the way, coming from
Auburn to Oregon. But they had like seventy plus players
each like the last two seasons through the portal or
high school, like seventy new players. You take a look
this year and it's not this year was all about
retaining the players they had that had them in a
quarter final situation.
Speaker 4: One play away from a semi final.
Speaker 3: So Kenny Dillingham said, this year we spend our money
retaining our guys because now we've built the foundation, we
don't have to do a deep dive like we have
one of the leaders in the portal over the last
couple of years. We can dabble in the portal. We
can go get players, which they certainly have. They bring
in a running back, they bring in a center, they
bring in three receivers. But now they feel like they're
program's at a place where it's about keeping the guys
that you brought there, building that foundation, building new buildings,
or getting an indoor facility. They don't have one of those.
Arizona State's facilities aren't the best. That's where I worked
out for the combine. I can tell you it's not now.
The city's great, the weather's great that time of the year,
but they want to start to build the foundation of
the program. Kenny Dengham is from Tempe, went to Arizona State.
He's a perfect coach for the sun Devils.
Speaker 4: I like him.
Speaker 2: They were certainly we're getting, you know, a little big
twelve happy here, and I like it because we're excited
about this Big twelve conference, the chaos that it could
potentially have all these people and we're saying seven six, seven,
eight teams with a legit shot that may be bringing
home a Big twelve title. I like this pick kind
of It's kind of gonna be where is the rest
of this crew? Where are we going to fit Kansas
State in? Are we just gonna kick them out? Are
we going to put them in the top ten or
close to that ten range? Like? What are we going
to do with the next.
Speaker 4: Couple of picks, because you it's a big decision. You
got number eleven coming your way there, ball.
Speaker 2: But here's my thing is, look, Arizona State last year
caught lightning in a bottle. You just said it. Camp
Scatterboot was the engine. But I'll make the argument that
he was the engine, he was the fuel, he was
the tires, he was the driver, he.
Speaker 4: Was everything.
Speaker 2: So I think there is going to be like an emotional,
physical like chasm right there that's gonna be hard to fill.
I to play a little bit of contrary, and I
think they have a little setback this year because I
just think he met so much.
Speaker 5: I watched the game and that's why I put them
at thirteen because you know, we got the twelve team
playoff and I'm like, okay, I just feel like this
season they're gonna find themselves on the outside looking in
because they're missing that huge piece of like you said,
the emotional aspect of it. Like that's bigger than I mean,
it's not bigger than like the skill, but it's bigger
than what people think it is. Like having that that engine,
the fuel, the everything is gonna be a big hit
on Arizona State.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 5: I do still think that they stay in the game
and they like thirteen is still a good spot to
be at, but I do think that it's going to
be a big hit. And like you said, I'm meant
to say, but like it was kind of like catching
lightning in a bottle and it didn't like at the
end of the season is when they really really started
to pick it up. So I just find I just
think that they find themselves on the outside looking in
this season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like if if cam Skataboo was back, they'd probably
be in the top seven. Yeah, I think thirteen is
a perfect spot for them because they're missing that. You
go get somebody who's run for a thousand yards on
a ten win team a year ago. Let's see how
he translates from the service academy and the option and
to you know. Now, I will say this about Arizona
State's run game. When you turn it on, it's not
inside zone. It's inside zone, it's outside zone, it's counter,
it's power, it's trapped, it is everything.
Speaker 4: Like when you look at their run chart, it's distinguished. Okay,
like it is. It has got every run available. That's
what made them unpredictable.
Speaker 3: So they've got to find ways to integrate these three
new running backs into their system not fall into tendencies
because it's going to take three people to replace camp Scattaboy.
Speaker 4: You don't replace the meathead player of the year as
one guy.
Speaker 2: No, what iscattaboy going to be considered Stump back?
Speaker 4: Yep, what do you play? Stump?
Speaker 2: Stump?
Speaker 4: Just stump. We don't even need you need the back
part of it.
Speaker 3: Stump labels. Actually I really like Stump. I think the
person might have thought that it was gonna be some shade, but.
Speaker 4: I love it Stump.
Speaker 5: I just thought that y'all were going to think that
it might have been too low. But that was the
only reason why I thought it was going.
Speaker 4: To be eleven or something.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know. I just thought maybe y'all Taylor,
I thought that y'all. Yeah, I thought that y'all would
have had them ranked a little higher than I would.
Speaker 2: Have higher number or better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, higher means tailing up like top ten.
Speaker 5: I meant like, I thought, y'all think they're worthy of
you college.
Speaker 7: I think is gonna give a no.
Speaker 8: I think this is a terrible pick. I don't really
know what I'm kidding. I told her I was gonna
do that before.
Speaker 7: I think this is right.
Speaker 8: If you would have picked him at thirteen, I probably
would have picked him at twelve.
Speaker 4: Probably right.
Speaker 7: I think killing see this team going nine and three,
I'm with you. I think it's a slight step back.
Speaker 8: But nine and three is about thirteen or fourteen three
eight team in the country.
Speaker 7: Probably. I think Camp Scattaboo is a big loss.
Speaker 8: But remember Sam Levitt forst year starting quarterback a year ago.
Speaker 7: He's back.
Speaker 2: He was really good.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and people want to talk about weapons back. He
got Jordan Tyson, who's one of the best receivers in
the country. Jordan Tyson did not play in their playoff run.
Last year due to an injury, so like, that's actually
a weapon back that they did not have at the
end of the year when they were playing so well.
So that's kind of an added weapon that they didn't have.
So I think this is a good pick. Plus, I
trust Kenny Dillingham, Like, I get it. Camp Scataboo was
emotionally he was the leader of that team, but he
Dillingham's kind of that guy also, So I think they'll
be fine. I think there's a little step back, but
I mean I can see nine and three, thirteen, thirteen
fourteen for me would have been fun.
Speaker 5: And I know that they're ranked above them in our
O t B preseason poll. But I just feel like
Texas Tech is going to be the standout of the
Big twelve this season.
Speaker 4: CBS Sports picked to win the Big Twelve real yesterday. Yeah,
look at me.
Speaker 2: Were they listening to this show? Obviously obviously. Yeah. I'm
kind of like, I.
Speaker 8: Mean, yeah, probably in the Air twenty.
Speaker 2: Because in my head, I'm like, Texas Tech is gonna
be the They're gonna they're gonna win those tough games.
They're gonna split with Kansas State and Arizona State. I
think it's gonna be super tricky. I'd like to see
Texas Tech one.
Speaker 5: That's like the blind ranking aspect of this is.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited for the Big Twelve because.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think any of us are gonna they
We're gonna have Pig Michigan.
Speaker 2: I do think that the Big Twelve is going to
be the much higher quality version of the Mac of
maction this year. I think it's gonna be nuts. I
think it's gonna be insane. I think there's gonna be
crazy games, wild plays happening at the end to win
big games that are meaningful in that race for the
Big Twelve championship. I think it's gonna be wild.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did too. Can't wait.
Speaker 3: Can't wait to see how it plays out. It was
great last year. I think it's gonna be even better
this year. And I don't think it's going to be
you know, bad football teams trying to see who's going
to win. I think it's gonna be good football teams
fighting towards the top. Now they might only get one
playoff team because of it, only the champion, because you're
gonna have three losses because everybody's gonna beat up on everybody,
But I think it's going to be high level football,
all right, So when we come back yesterday and we'll
get into our LSU discussion. Yesterday I put out a
poll that had over six hundred votes the position group
that LSU's.
Speaker 4: Fan base thinks has to raise their.
Speaker 3: Level of play for LSU to be successful this fall.
We'll tell you which group got picked, will break down
on that group, and we'll do it when we come
back here on.
Speaker 6: O TV mofter bench.
Speaker 3: All right, go to gcopnet dot com. That is a

so many big businesses that they can help out with
because look, you have to print documents.
Speaker 4: You have to have the ability to know that when
you press the.
Speaker 3: Print button, right, everything's going to work like it's supposed
to be working. Because obviously, like time is going to
be very important in all the things that we just
listened out there, right, So Louisiana's trusted source, New Orleans, Baton,

Speaker 6: Com blocked in on l s U football twenty four
to seven.
Speaker 1: You're listening to off the Bench.
Speaker 5: Day hands.
Speaker 4: This is a good one.
Speaker 2: You know what day it is? Fus Friday.
Speaker 4: It's what Friday Friday?
Speaker 2: Okay, dude, it's a family show.
Speaker 4: From seven to eighty.
Speaker 1: Sure is.
Speaker 4: Eight nineteen bough.
Speaker 2: State, nineteen gids. It already dropped off, all right.
Speaker 3: Yesterday I put out a poll which position group must
elevate its play the most for LSU to succeed this fall.
You had four options defensive backs, running backs, offensive line,
defensive line. It had six hundred and eleven votes. Which
one do we think? Matthew won the vote?
Speaker 2: I believe on the vote, I believe it'd be offensive one.
Speaker 8: All right, elandra Line, I've seen it so like I
know the answer.
Speaker 7: Was honest.
Speaker 5: I think it's O line and then in second, uh.
Speaker 7: Defensive back.
Speaker 9: So I voted on that poll, and I took it
to literal because you said raise your level of play,
I mean raise your level of play from a year ago,
or exceed expectations.
Speaker 4: I said elevate, because if.
Speaker 8: You want to elevate your play from a year ago,
it's a defensive back all day long.
Speaker 7: Because offensive line was actually good last year.
Speaker 4: No, I don't live in the past. I didn't put
last year.
Speaker 3: I'm just talking to elevate their play from where they
currently are right now.
Speaker 2: Offensive line, all right, I misread the question. Then nobody
really knows how they're doing right now except for the coaches.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been out to a couple of times. It's
the offensive line, guess.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: I would say here's the vote, real quick. Defensive backs
twenty one point eight percent of the vote. Running backs,
which I was a little surprised, four point one percent
of the vote. There's some concerns behind Caden Durham at
running back.
Speaker 8: I think that's the thing, though, I think everybody's so
high on Caden.
Speaker 3: I mean, Caden's a very tough young man, played through
a pretty painful injury last year, but still like behind him.
There's two scholarship guys, So that's a little surprise. He
only got four point one percent of the vote. Defensive
line got eleven point nine percent of the vote. I
think that tells you just how well Ky Williams is
done with these defensive tackles in a short period of time.
Because you felt good about the edge rushers already, it
was the defensive tackle. So that's actually a pretty good sign.
Offensive line sixty two point two percent of the vote.
Speaker 8: It should be the only position you have a big
question mark about right now, like I haven't been to
practice in this week. Unless something just drastically changed, the
dvs are actually pretty good. At least you have a
healthy rotation like O line right now is a concern
for me.
Speaker 2: Look, the vote comes off of the unknown for the
offensive line. That that's what the vote is. It's not
like how it's worded or whatever. It's like, what's the
biggest concern for you, because it's the biggest unknown in
that's offensive line, Like defensive backs, is it an unknown
because we haven't really seen the new people play. Yes,
that's a big unknown, but it's easier to watch and
judge defensive back play in training camp and it is
offensive line. Like it's hard to just sit there and
judge how an offensive line without watching the film, Without
watching the film like, it's hard to see it from
a from the view, like a field level view. It's
hard to really see who's actually playing well. I mean,
you can see who's physically dominant in like one on
ones and half line things like that, but you really
don't know who's like nailing their assignments. And we watched
that clip of the Saints the other day. Everybody did
their assignment except for and it wasn't a physical thing,
it was a mental thing. Those are the types of
mistakes that you can't see from a field level just
watching it one time when you're going to value the practice.
But you can certainly evaluate a dB that's flying around,
batten down balls, covering people up, making the right run
fits INTERCEPTI path. That's easy to like, easy to see.
So I think with the reports coming out from training camp,
that is not as big of an unknown. I think
everybody is pretty common consensus that we are so much
more improved from last year. Now. The offensive line we
don't know because we don't know, like you don't know
what you don't know, and that's what we will find out.
But we're not going to find out as a fan
base or as media. We're not gonna find out till
Game one.
Speaker 3: That's actually a really good point by you, and I
don't say that very often. It was a really good
point by you because you're right about like that is
a position where you do have to get the end
zone copy.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: I want to see like it is it angles is
an assignment because when we broke down Sesarrewi's missing it.
Speaker 4: Like initially I.
Speaker 3: Was like, man, what was he doing with like there
was no kickstep and there wasn't, but it was because
of a mental era.
Speaker 4: It wasn't just like.
Speaker 3: That's his his his eyes were in the wrong place.
Everybody else was doing the right thing. Great job by
the running back, incredible job by the center coming back
and helping clean up. It was the right guard he
was looking in the wrong place. Then his footwork turned
to trash and he messed up. Those are the things
that you're talking about, Like right now, it's tough. Is
it physically? Is it mentally? Is it both?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 3: Those are the things on the offensive line that you've
got to go. You gotta watch the end zone copy
of it. If you're watching one on ones and you're
giving a practice report based off that, you're doing it wrong,
I'm just I'm just telling you from experience.
Speaker 4: Because one on ones.
Speaker 3: A lot for receivers versus dbs. That's a receiver drill
for D line versus O lines, a D line drill
for backers versus running backs, that's a linebacker drill. Now,
like routes on air backs on backers, that's a running
back drill. Like that's it's pretty easy for me to
win one on one with the backer routes on you know,
one on one routes, but for pass protection because it's
not game like he's he's gonna have a little bit
of advantage.
Speaker 4: I would say sixty five thirty five.
Speaker 3: So, like if you're basing it off like the one
on one drills that they do in camp, I'm not
saying they're not important.
Speaker 2: They're all important. They're extremely important, But.
Speaker 3: You can't base how the group is playing together based
off that. Yep, Like the offensive line, I do think
it needs to to trend in a different direction.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The surprise has been like it's the tackles on the
days that I've gone that have played really well. It's
the interior guys where you actually have some guys that
have played that are struggling a little bit right now.
Center position is doing pretty good, but don't base your
kind of view point on the offensive line based off
one on ones.
Speaker 2: Well they it's a lot of new guys were rotating
in and a lot of the issues you see, especially
early in camp, are normal with new positions, a new
personnel the offense line, because most of it, like we
just laid out, is mental. It's there. The eyes were wrong,
they misread, they made a bad mic call, they made
a bad kickstep because they were looking at the wrong thing,
They had the wrong cues or the wrong keys that
they were looking at. The defense on and in the
center and the guard positions is a little bit more
because there's a lot more passing off interior than there
is for the tackles. We always got, like a coach
always laid out, like the center has the football. The
closer you are to the ball, the more mental the
game is. Like the more the more higher football IQ
you have to have, and that's anything. The farther away
you are from the ball, the less football IQ you
really have to have because like so the guard and
center and the quarterback the closest to the ball, those
are the guys that have to have the highest football IQ.
They have to do the most mentally and most tackles
a little bit less because it's a lot more one
on one. Now, of course it's everybody has to have
a high football i Q, but it's just a little
bit more the closer you get to the ball. So,
uh yeah, it makes sense to me that, like if
we get into team drill or two minute drill, that
there's going to be sacks and it's like, oh my god,
this guy just got beat. Well why did he get beat?
Why did he make a wrong step because he was
looking strong side and he should have been looking weak side.
Was it a bad mic call? Like a lot of
those things work out, and you flush those things out
in the and the line gets better and better mentally,
and the more comfortable they are within the system, working
together making those reads, cutting out mental mistakes, mental errors,
slow decisions, and they just start pulling the trigger and
working together. I would see this offense one getting better
and better and better.
Speaker 3: Uh real quick, because I know we've got our guy
the general Bobby Carpenter joining us. Someone was asking why
is one on ones a defensive drill, because it's it's
not realistic. So if I'm a left guard and I've
got a three technique, so I've got a defensive tackle
outside shade of me, all right, and we're doing one
on ones, okay, he's got so much more room to
work with than he actually would in a game. And
we always talk about this, like at guard, I've got
two bodyguards, I've got a tackle, and I've got a
center next to me, and it is a phone booth.
Speaker 4: But when you're doing one on ones.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, he can go all the way up
the field around you, where in a game he's running
into a tackle. Uh, there's just a lot more space.
And so the offensive line like working together in unison.
That's why it's so important because like it's just the
same thing we talk about in punt protection all the time,
like use your guard, use your tackle, you your guys
next to you right for that space and close the space.
Speaker 4: Make it a tight space.
Speaker 3: And so like a center in one on ones, he's
never gonna have on four feet on each side on
an island.
Speaker 4: It's just not gonna happen well sometimes, but like very
very rarely.
Speaker 3: If a defense does something where they're trying to attack
a center and you might have two guys that you
know go to the outside right now and you send
like a backer straight down the middle to try to
have a better athlete on a center, like that happens,
but very rarely. Same thing, you know, when it comes
to you know, pass protection backs on backers. Same thing
for me, Like if I'm running routes against backers, I've
got so much room. There's no offensive line there. I
can kind of insert wherever and you go run a route.
Bad linebacker if he covers you, you're just a bad football.
Players are running back like because there's more room than
there ever would be before.
Speaker 4: So it's a great tool.
Speaker 3: It's a great asset because it puts you in the
most difficult situations. But it's not something you can base
how a unit is going to play together off of.
Speaker 2: And then like what in pass rush offensive line, let's
just say tackles versust When is an offensive lineman at
a disadvantage in a game when it's an obvious passing
down situation, when the when the defensive end knows it's
a pass and he always got to just penziers back,
make a move, swim them, pull and whatever he wants
to do well in one on ones. It's like every
time it's like I'm rushing a quarterback like it's passed.
So it's just and it puts them in a very
stressful situation. But it's great for the offensive lineman to
learn and get their physical skill like it. That's but
you can't judge how a guy's playing and camp based
on that.
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a break. When we come back.
Speaker 3: The General Bobby Carpenter joins us, sadly, sadly not from
the Ohio State Training facility. He's driving, which probably means
he's got to give a speech because my man gives
like three speeches per week. But he's going to give
us a speech when we come back here on O TV.

Speaker 4: She's a girl.
Speaker 1: From Players to Legends, Hester and Flynn breakdown l s
U Football like only champions can.
Speaker 3: See O God, she like the boys in the band.
All right, what mat O TV one, O four five, ESPN,
beton Rouge. It is now time to hear from our guy,
the General Bobby Carpenter, Big Tim Bob, who I'm sure
is on the road to go give a speech to
some touchdown club, because Bobby is just the gift that
keeps on giving.
Speaker 4: Bob, how are we doing?
Speaker 10: I'm doing great. Thanks for having the answer. I'm not
not on the road to UH club. I actually owed
a visit Mike calendar. You're trying to get our extension rep.
Talk about stuff five just four ship. You know, holding
holding some k once in your hands is far different
than holding at.
Speaker 4: Yes, a lot of said that, Bobby.
Speaker 3: And though you're you're like Flynn and I too, Like
you're someone who's got like twenty seven different sources of
income as well, you've got your own business as well.
Shout out to the HVAC company up there in Columbus, Ohio.
So I'm sure like that is not fun for you.
Probably pretty stressful.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's that's the stuff that nobody loves to deal with.
I mean, I'm a finance guy, but like that's why
I other outsourced that pay somebody do the boring number
stuff I don't want to do. But yeah, it's it's
done near as much fun as talking ball and listening
to a little Rick James.
Speaker 3: You guys, it is funky Friday. That's Flint Flynn wanted
a funky Friday here, so only funk music.
Speaker 10: I love it, man, that's perfect. The super Freak is
the best ri ipter Rick James lost him twenty one
years ago, and that's that's far too long ago.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 10: It's a rough.
Speaker 4: Oh all right, Bob. I mean we're getting closer.
Speaker 3: We are single digits away from Farmer getting there in
in Ireland, and like, I want to get to week
one with you, obviously, but I kind of feel like
the appetizer is getting slept on.
Speaker 4: This is an appetizer game.
Speaker 3: In week zero Farmageddon, that is one of the reasons
you go to the restaurant. I think Farmageddon is like
an outback. We got the bloomin onion, we got the
cheese fries, like we have reasons to go. That's not
just the main course.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's gonna be a great appetizer. And it's a
couple of ranked teams there. I think everybody's pretty excited
about it. The intrigue of the Big twelve of what
that can be. And let's be honest. I heard, uh,
you know a friend of mine he used to go
on with James and both all the time. Both yeah,
talking like this. It was very appropriate, you know, is it?
Like you said, it's not the main course, but it's
a really good appetizer. And because if you had meat
all day, you get the you're gonna just bound that bloom.
Like we're starving for college football, so you know what,
like on week one with Kansas State, Nihoa State, be
like the first thing you're gonna order. Probably not, but
given you look at the slate and it's been eight
since we played college football game, everybody's only ready to go.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, is there at that has like your
all time favorite cheese fries ever? Because Outback has one
of the most elite cheese fries that I've ever had.
You've got a local spot of chain that you just
a good fond cheese fry memory.
Speaker 10: So I'm not a huge cheese fry guy.
Speaker 4: We don't have a body like.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm just not like, I'm not the biggest cheese
fry guy there. I like good I like onion blom
and onion on your ring, stuff like that, lost some
good chicken wings. If you get any any type of
bacon you can incorporate into an appetizer, I'm always there
for that as well. Like there's a kind of state
mobills stick to and whatever that little spection spot to
Baton Rouge last year Superior, Yeah, I was fantastic.
Speaker 3: Hey, Bobby, I we we sent Bobby to Superior and
supper club here in in bean Rouge whenever he covered.
Speaker 4: The U c. L A game. And Uh, Bobby, I
believe you asked.
Speaker 3: The waiter when he was pouring your water if that
came straight from the Mississippi.
Speaker 10: Would always love to you know, in her action just tour,
you know, just showed her out. Maybe they didn't, they
just fucking it up.
Speaker 2: Then you want to taste the local flare? Yeah, yeah,
a little bit missipy Mississippi River water. Isn't nothing wrong
with that.
Speaker 10: Well here's the thing now, so you know I get
in the Ohio River, which that water eventually ends up
down there by Baton Rouge, Mississippi River water coming right
through there. So you know all that's been has been
filtered for a couple of hundred more miles.
Speaker 4: It's incredibly fair. Uh.
Speaker 3: Bobby and I once did a show from he was
at his his lake house and we actually I think
we came up with a map that he could get
in a boat and find his way basically to my
house because you're on the Ohio River, right yeah, yeah,
you could get from your I say, Lake Acid's on
a river from there to me by getting in a boat,
right yeah.
Speaker 10: I mean, we wouldn't even need anything else. Man, it's
a little per row boat, you know, a cruise on
out there. They take a couple of days and decent
chunk of gas. But I mean it's all He's got
his time, That's that's all you need.
Speaker 2: Look, I just looked it up, like chat GPT is amazing.
I think I'm starting to get famous for only using
chat GPT when I'm on radio. But it's it just
told me that it takes approximately three months for water
to travel from Columbus, Ohio to Baton Rouge, Louisiana by
way of Ohio River to Mississippi River. Three months, so
you don't even need a bike.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I mean I do three months a long time.
I might, I might, you know, I would rather go
a little faster with the current. And by the way,
like I'm want to start down at the tip of
the Ohio rivers. We'll kind of we'll knock like a
week or two off to begin with, anybody smart.
Speaker 3: Uh, Bobby, you and I were talking about this the
other day over on Meadhead Radio. But Ohio State is
going to host the number one team in the country
the first game of the year. But they're going to.
Speaker 4: Be a favorite.
Speaker 3: It is the first time that a preseason number one
team and the A people will start the season as
an underdog. So shouldn't we have just put the Buckeyes
number one? The old Rick Flair to be the man,
you got to beat the man and just let it
play out that way.
Speaker 10: Well, what's interesting is that's what my son said. I
have a sixth grade son. Here's State's favorite. Why aren't
they number one? Well, there's voters, the coaches or the sids,
and then there's the a p which is the writers,
you know, and they put together their list of what
they think it is they go and then you've got
the people of tea Bob your performer coach. Still if
there's the gamblers and what they think it's gonna be.
And the reality is you start looking at the top five, sixteen,
in the top ten, I mean there's a lot of
uncertainty with all those squads. There's only three of them
that are returning quarterbacks in Texas and Ohires Steed are
not one of those teams. They lost a lot of
guys and one of about double vision players drafted, so
that they're gonna be far different teams than what we
saw last year and seventy finals the Cotton Bowl, and
so because of that, I think you look at your
high seats two and a half points favorite. I mean, guys,
basically that's the home field advantage. So I mean it's
it's more or less a pick them of what you're getting.
I mean's going to put o'high Steed one. That's fine.
Texas won, that's fine. Like in the new twelve team era,
like all I got to be is in the top twelves,
Like that's all that matters to me. But the reality is,
like a lot of those teams Penn State, they should
have about Clemson, notre game. They all the shoes up there
like Gamba, Like we don't know who about a lot
of those teams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking about this the other day when
the when the AP poll came out and we're looking
at it, We're like, Okay, Texas is one, Ohio states three.
That means they must think Texas is going that first game.
But the other one that stuck out to is is
like Penn State be a number two so ranked above
Ohio State, Like what does Ohio State have to do
to have a preseason ranking number one? And then what
do you think of just the the ap and the coach?
Like every year Penn State is highly right and well
and we we kind of made this comparison that Penn
State's like the college version of the Pittsburgh Steelers. So
every year the love for Penn State, but they just
have never been able to get it done. Like how
do y'all feel, you know, Ohio State guy living in
Columbus about every single year that kind of being the messaging.
Speaker 10: What's interesting about Penn State is like with James Franklin,
he can get a lot of grease, but they've never
really been that, you know, and especially the last five years.
What you're getting with James Franklin is when every game
you're supposed to probably lose each game to a ranked team,
and uh, you know from that, then uh you get
to the well he used to get the ball, now
you're getting the playoffs. I go, he's gonna get your
seat in two and I don't think this Sends State
team is gonna be any worse than Tennessee. They play
Ohio State in Oregon, But just can you split those
can you go all over it once? Did you win
them both? Just be twall enough? Have you got a
retorting quarterback? They have singles in they got an alan
back got granted they lost that Google Parker, granted, they
lost time Warren to find three receivers from the portal,
and so they're a pretty good spot there. That was
the one kind of issue they've had over the last
handful of years. Is it you play calling to conservatively
on the field On the outside, We'll see what Andy
calling the Ducks and went through out. But the play calling,
is it the quarterback? You know it used to be.
You can see the receivers before that. They appear to
have the problem remedy. So now you suit yourself. Is
it the calling or are they exceed conservative because the
quarterback you can't throw it more. He just look out
there still good and then drops from the checkdown. So
that's what they're gonna to figure out. But they're they
have as many returning starters that you're gonna find. They
were a good team on this shoot that they were
ill advised the interception away from potentially have a chance
to play in the National Championships. And they've got a
lot coming backing Drew Aller being a part of it
and becoming a returning starting quarterback as thumpson Penn State
in Miami for thumpson Penn State and LSU from the
only teams the top ten that have it like that matters.
Speaker 3: That means something, Bobby, give me a team out of
the Big ten that's not Ohio State, that's not Penn State,
that's not Oregon, that has an opportunity because we always
talk about four.
Speaker 4: Teams in the Big ten, you know, making that run.
Speaker 3: We're not very high on Michigan here on this show,
we're doing our own top twenty five, and I don't
think Michigan is going to be included in the top
twenty five.
Speaker 4: So who do you have as.
Speaker 3: That four team maybe inserting themselves into the conversation and
making a playoff.
Speaker 10: Well, I think they won ten and three last year
and you start talking about it. There's a lot of
bulls of BN Illinois though always what they're been able
to do that Luke Almeyer coming back to quarterback Bland
has proven he can build teams. They're a tough team.
They've lost them. Their schedules pretty advantageous play Ohio State.
I think they've got Indiana late. We'll see how good
Indiana they can repeat at that success. You know, been
trying to figure it out. I think they've given a
chance to win ten. They intend to have a good
chance to get in the playoffs. The team that's really
interesting to me as the team that's un ranked, and
that's the USC, because you know, everything would tell you
if you guys and you're around my page, but the
USC always has the reclus capol it like how are
they not better? And I guess that's the question, like
Umber Lincoln Riley, like since Kadan Williams is the trophy season,
like how would they not been better? And that's something
that maybe it happened this year, maybe it doesn't. But
at some point in time he's trying to click or
else he's gonna be.
Speaker 4: It would just Bob met, there we go. We lost you.
Speaker 3: There for a second, I thought maybe the tax man
got you.
Speaker 5: No, I'm so good.
Speaker 10: Yeah. I feel like USC should be able because they
should be there, But I don't would be about fourteen
taking me to it.
Speaker 3: All right, there he is our guy, the general Bobby
carfind good enough to join us.
Speaker 4: Bobby, enjoy your Friday tax Day.
Speaker 3: We'll catch up again with you very soon, sir, and
