Speaker 1: All Star to you ot TO Presents. Off the bench
with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: I gotta come off the bench now.
Speaker 1: Here's Jacob Hester and T Bob.
Speaker 3: Abert, Jod walk Man two O, T B one O
four five, ESPN, Ben Rouge, Jake, Alandra and Taylor here
in studio with you. You've heard about the show Between
two ferns. How about between two lamps? That is what
T Bob Abert is currently sitting between. He is in
Georgia getting ready for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: T Bob.
Speaker 4: I think we have you. I hope we have you.
How you doing today, sir?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Jake, what's up man? What's going on? Feeling
great today? Very excited to be here at the in
law's house. This is my father in law's Theory August Office.
I mean, look at this painting behind me. Are you
a kid? Met? It's it's a literal fox hunt painting.
Three UK looks like Lordsmen's or Landsman's. I don't know,
but they are a mean red jackets. I got the
hounds and they're out here hunting foxes. It's an oil painting.
It's massive. I mean, not to brag, but my father's
my father in law's office smells of leather and rich mahogany.
It's that type of office. So I could not be
doing the show for a better spot this morning.
Speaker 4: How was the nine hour drive with the kids?
Speaker 2: It was awful. It's awful. It's just I mean, again,
the older ones are cool. You put them on an iPad,
that's fine, and I'm not an iPad dad. Guys, I
don't normally allow it, but that's why we give them
on road trips. But to Bobby, I mean Bobby really
really just just really well, just like impressive, and how
he could avoid falling asleep and just yelling the entire time.
I mean, I say, I'll say this like this weekend
from LSU. I want to see a team that is persistent,
that has no quit, that doesn't give up. Although it's
not in the context I would like to normally see
this stuff, I would say that those three adjectives would
describe how my son was during that nine hour drive yesterday.
Speaker 3: Sorry to hear that. I was hoping, you know, we
get a story of like, hey, it was actually it
was awesome. He you know, he did great, the girls
did great. It was not anything. No adversity on the drive.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it wasn't it wasn't there was. It
was probably the final three hours rough. Besides that, though
we were pretty it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad at all.
But excited to be back here, excited for this morning show,
our last show for the Oklahoma game. Right, Yeah, I'm
feeling very rumined at him, very thankful. The drive gave
me a lot of time to think about this game,
and you know, just for one weekend, Like we spend
all year, Jake, all off season, waiting so desperately to
get here to the regular season, and here we sit
on the edge of the final game of the regular season,
and so like, I don't know, I you know, and
we talked about this kind of throughout the year, right,
and enjoying the journey, being in the moment, you know,
loving those quantum hours in which the game is being played.
You're not sure if you're gonna win or you're gonna lose.
But I especially want to folks with that this week,
this last month, previously, the Vanderbilt game, it's probably the
most extreme hairpin turn of a month that we've ever seen,
certainly since I've been covering this program, maybe like some
of those like Leonard for net years. But but I
guess the point of all this is, say, you know
what I want to do this weekend. I want to
let go of any like what's the future hold, what's
gonna happen in the siding class, what's gonna happen in
the portal? Is Brian Kelly a fit? Is Brian Kelly
the right guy? Are you bullish on Kelly or you
barish on Kelly? Long term? I don't want to do
any long term thinking this weekend. I want to be
in the moment and I want to enjoy lsu versus
Oklahoma Saturday Night and Death Valley, like that's something to
be thankful for, and that's for both these teams. Right,
forget about looking the season sex Okay, whatever, you got
one Saturday. You got one game to decide how you're
gonna feel heading into the offseason, bull seas whatever you
want to call it a one game, four hours to decide,
and you're playing for pride. We're gonna see who's tough,
who's internally motivated by a desire to be great, by
a desire to prove themselves by an innate competitive spirit,
and who only cares about the accolades now to say
there's not I mean there's still glory to be had.
I mean it's LSU and Oklahoma on November thirtieth, closing
out the season, cold weather in the air. I mean,
could the setting get any better? So yeah, I'm feeling
very thankful and excited for Saturday night.
Speaker 3: Okay, and we are going to break down that game
coming up, and we'll get it started in the next segment.
But whoever put the document together today, I do like,
right here at seven am, what are you most thankful
for for this football season? I mean that can be LSU,
that could be just overall in the college football landscape.
Let's keep it I guess college and not necessarily go NFL.
I'm not sure that there's a lot to be thankful
for in this room in the NFL season.
Speaker 4: So, T Bob, what do you most think?
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm thankful for the Wrizzler. Okay, if we
go NFL, I'm thankful for the Wrizzler. He has given
Saints fans a little bit of hope here. Winning is
always better than losing. Well, El's talk about that Rams Games.
We think it continues on Sunday. But I would say
I'm thankful to him. I'm thankful to Alvin Kamara in
terms of the NFL. I mean, we talked about being
internally motivated and guys who just want to continue to
try to be great, just to try to be great.
I think Kamara really epitomizes that out there playing me
at a time and we can't get Zion on the
court to save his life. Albu Kamara's out here playing
with broken ribs on a bad team just because and
playing really well. And so that's just a couple of
the NFL things I'm thankful for. What about you, Jake,
I know you got to be thankful for some of
your I mean.
Speaker 3: I was kind of really talking about you and Taytay
and Alandra. Oh yeah, Jim Harball is what I'm thankful for.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we actually have like a real head coach. We
have somebody that's not Brandon Staley. Uh So, yeah, I
am very thankful for that in the NFL world, you know,
and college. If I got away from LSU and just
like looked at it as a whole, I think the
parody that we have in college football is something that
I'm thankful for. We're going into the last week of
the regular season team and we don't know. We still
don't We don't know who's playing in some of these
conference championship games.
Speaker 4: We don't know if anybody's elite. I think we have
really good teams.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that we have an elite team, and
I think the playoff's going to be bananas. I think
that there's going to be one of the top four
seeds going to lose, like almost I can speak in
absolutes to the feeling that I have that one of
those teams is going to lose and we'll break down
like what those matchups look like now.
Speaker 4: But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of I'm really enjoying the parody and not
knowing every Saturday who's going to win.
Speaker 4: Already.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely agree that it's been one of the
moost exciting collegootball teams. We actually the most exciting since
two thousand and seven, probably in Yeah, in that regard,
though it didn't have all the movement at the tippy
tip top Lego seven had, but hey, did we nail
the playoff? Bringing allocation or did we nail the playoff
braking allocation yesterday? Yeah? Because it looks like, you know,
going into this weekend everything's subject change, but it does
look like four big ten three sec to ACC one
big twelve one independent one G five uh taror Landra.
This is awkward for me because I can't see you.
But what what do y'all? And we'll see NFL first?
What are y'all thankful for?
Speaker 5: So for the NFL, I am very thankful that Dennis
Allen is no longer the head coach of the true
So that is probably the thing that I am the
most thankful for.
Speaker 6: Shout out Darren Rizzy too.
Speaker 2: I didn't even consider that, Jake. I think Elandra's more
correct than I am. The fact that Dennis Allen is
not the coach anymore is the thing to be most
thankful for, over even the risks as much I love
the risk.
Speaker 3: As much as we dislike Dennis Allen, I think if
there was like a ranking of who dislikes him the most,
I think it actually go Alandra one B two U three.
I think Alandra might have like Dennis Allen more than
any of us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5: Also true, I've also been on the fire train for
like over a year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no quite like I'm yeah.
Speaker 2: There was one guy who had a Twitter account and
it was photo shopping Dennis Allen into uh the movie
scenes every day until he's fired. And he finally after
one hundreds and hundreds of days, I think he ended
it with a with the Avengers defeating Thanos, but he
finally got to retire his his Twitter account.
Speaker 4: So well done.
Speaker 2: Thanks overheaving thank I can't I cannot wait to hear
what Taylor's saying in the.
Speaker 3: NFL, NFL and college NFL good luck college.
Speaker 6: I'm thankful for Blake Baker.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's yeah, very good.
Speaker 3: You go back and watch just the tape from from
last week, and you know, yeah, I love that you
can get behind that.
Speaker 4: The heck of a game plan.
Speaker 7: Me for NFL guys, there's not a whole lot. I'm
gonna be very honest with you saying s hadn't been
great at the Cowboys. Gosh, one of the top five
worst teams I've seen since I've followed this team. T
babble love this one. Guys have got a pretty good
fantasy team. Somethingful for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have.
Speaker 2: That's the only thing, iantasy, that's the only thing I have,
I guess.
Speaker 3: I mean Jerry Jones out here talking about how good
of a coach Mike McCarthy is. He's won a Super
Bowl and sounds like he's gonna be so nothing in
college football for me, I'm.
Speaker 2: Sorry, go ahead to no, No, we're good. We can
go around the table.
Speaker 4: I already went, min mind you go, you go, you go,
tell you're good.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 7: I was actually thinking about this yesterday. I'm thankful we
live in such a good college football town.
Speaker 2: You know, l s U.
Speaker 7: We've been down on him this year, and I'm driving
to player interviews and I'm like, thank god, man, I
get these player interviews out of the way. These press
conferences have been terrible. They're losing, and I started thinking
about it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, guys, I get to go.
Speaker 7: To LSU and cover this team every single day, like
I dreamed of this when I was a kid, you know.
And I was like, I'm just thankful we have such
a good college football twn.
Speaker 4: All right, look at that, dude.
Speaker 2: That's a good positive mindset right there too. That's what
we're looking Forard. That's sort of gratitude. We're trying to
move in I would say there. I mean, you know,
for me, it's the moments, a couple of the moments.
I mean, watching that South Carolina kick swing wide was
such a heady, high adrenaline rush. And then obviously just
every nuts on the line play that they made at
the end of that Old Miss game. You know, all
the plays that had to be made where if you
don't make in that single play you lose. I mean,
just those two results right there, and how it felt
in those moments when it happened. That is what I'm
most thankful for for this from this L s U season.
Speaker 3: I'm also thankful that Alanja in into Diego Pavia in Nashville.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm thankful for that too, because then we.
Speaker 2: Won, I know, helped us get off the slide.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Do you know where Jackson Arnold is going?
Speaker 5: Like, I don't know where Jackson Arnold is going to
be at, but new Development. I am going home today.
I'm not I'm not going to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: To shut out Matt.
Speaker 7: We dodged one there.
Speaker 5: Matt saw me in the hallway yesterday and he was like,
you're not gonna like you don't have anywhere to go,
and I was like, well, I'm just not going to
go home because like it's just a quick turnaround. He
was like, I'll take care of whiskey and wine. And
I was like, okay, so.
Speaker 6: Shout out Matt.
Speaker 5: Thankful for Matt, but like, also I might be back
in time for it, So if I need to be there,
you want.
Speaker 4: To hear t Bob, Yeah, sweet nothing.
Speaker 6: And talk about fair a.
Speaker 2: Landra actually does work it. She does not party at it.
She only works it. But she does gass me up
with laughs as a barometer as whether or not it
being funny.
Speaker 4: So you're the reason, Elandra, I can't help.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're y'all know I laugh at his jokes even here,
like I'm the only one that's true.
Speaker 2: I do not get your into stopping the Landra.
Speaker 7: Yeah, she's going to I'm off to tune in this
Saturday team. I'm just gonna be looking over to Landra
writing it down. He's like, all right, don't want hit.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll take our first break and when we

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the ninth ranked morning sports show in America.
Speaker 3: Off the bench you all right, welcome back in to OTB.
Let's talk a little LSU and Oklahoma and go ahead
and get this thing started.
Speaker 1: It's time to get to work courtesy of Tiger Labor
and Staffing where they can help take care of screening, training,
payroll and more.
Speaker 4: Now for starters, all remember.
Speaker 3: You go to the website Tiger Labor dot com and
that's where you can fill out all the information there,
find work, find people. When it comes to temp labor.
In Baton Rouge, we have the eye of the Tiger again.
Tiger Labor dot Com is what website, Tiger Labor and Staffing.
All right, let's dive into LSU and Oklahoma. This one,
as we know, is going to be at inside Tiger Stadium.
We know Oklahoma's coming off their biggest win of the year,
only their second win in SEC play. But certainly look
the part against Alabama a week ago, t Bob, what
makes you the most nervous about this Oklahoma football team?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's simply that they you know,
what they've been ever since they fired their offensive coordinator,
what they've been doing offensively lines up with your weaknesses.
I mean Brian Kelly Ben talked about at the press
conference on Monday. I'm basically saying that their body of
work in regards to running quarterbacks has not been the
best this year. Of course, there was a good tailor
green game, but then there's probably about three negative data
points there as well. And if you haven't watched, if
people listening, if you haven't watched this Oklahoma team as
of late. So they fired their o see in the
middle of the season, and then two weeks ago they
just straight up became a sort of modern triple option
quarterback run team. I mean they are they are leaning
on Jackson Arnold's legs. I was talking to Gay Bikert
about this last night and went on the podcast him
and Teddy Levin and yeah, and they said, like, man,
there's gonna be an option of the middle, an option
on the edge, and the quarterback can can can keep
it Like So that is something that has given l
shoot troubled times. But I will say this, I will
see this Jake, that is pretty that is very similar
to what you ran into last week against Vanderbilt. And
I thought the deep it de quitted themselves very well there,
so that would be another positive data point. So offensively,
Oklahoma's found a bit of confidence here. The O line's
playing better, they get they got healthier. They don't have
any weapons or down like the top like six receivers,
so it's not really through the air, but on the
ground that LSU has to be at their best to stop.
But although, like if you had asked me before last week,
maybe would have felt awful, I do feel better on
that side of the ball now after that Vanderbilt came.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you look at their leading receiver team, I
mean he's only got three hundred and twenty yards on
the year. You've got four or five players that have
at least that, and so they are not getting it
done through the air. And so t like for me,
what's the game plan going to be. Is it going
to be, Hey, like we've done in the past in
these type of situations, and we're gonna play cover one
and say, hey, we're playing a man across the board.
We're gonna have more guys towards the line of scrimmage,
and we're gonna, you know, dare you to throw the football? Basically,
because you look at the game plan last week, and
that's kind of what it was, and you got got
on one double move and outside of that you shut
that down. So I would assume it's going to be
the same. And if your edge rushers, and that's key
to Bob. Your edge rushers were so good last week
at keeping contained, staying with their assignment, and that's why
Diego Pavia and that offense can never get going. If
you can get that same production from those two players,
then I think you can be successful against his Oklahoma offense.
Speaker 2: I should know this off the top of my head.
But what's the status of Garrett, Dell and Gert going
into this going to this weekend?
Speaker 4: Tite Nothing but that's confirmed one way or the other.
Speaker 7: I mean, I assume it's still game time decision like
it's been the last three weeks, because Kelly hasn't given
an update one way or the other.
Speaker 3: I mean, right situation, I would I mean, honestly, I would,
I would lean towards probably not playing and unless something
has changed drastically in the lead.
Speaker 2: Up to the game. Yeah, yeah, okay, so I guess
it's conver Okay, so let's have the conversation as if
he's not playing. Because we haven't gotten the injury I
report and all that stuff yet. I am I'm I'm
a bit worried for LSU's offense here now. On one hand,
if Oklahoma has struggled anywhere, it's been giving up some
big pass plays and so that would bode well for LSU.
But that's a really good Oklahoma front seven. And although
I thought Paul ma Benga played much better last week,
we highlighted it and we celebrated it. Vanderbilts front seven
like Oklahoma's front seven, is Jacob mean you tell me,
is Oklahoma's front seven better? In Alabama's are better than Florida's.
Speaker 3: I mean, I would put them all par with both
those teams that you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's my point, right, is that, yeah, you
were way better last week. But admittedly, although Vanda's pretty
good upfront, they're not quite as good as those guys. Right,
this is a much bigger test and Brent Vinnables being
a defensive minded guy the same way, Mike elko Is
is going to look to scheme up a lot of
stuff to try to maybe exploit the youth of Mabinga
in company if he is still in there. So I
guess my overall point is we've seen the offensive line
struggle against some good front sevens late, and I think
he got a really good front seven company against Sea.
That does give me some cause for concern.
Speaker 4: To t Bob's point.
Speaker 3: Right now, Oklahoma is fourth in the SEC as far
as yards given up. I believe they're eighth in points,
but they're only giving up three hundred and eleven yards
per game. Texas is first, Tennessee second, South Carolina third.
Speaker 4: And then Oklahoma comes in at number four.
Speaker 3: When you look at what they give up through the air,
two hundred and five yards through the air, but really
stingy on the ground only one hundred and five yards
given up on the ground as well, and one of
the top in the league.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 3: Even when they've struggled, to Bob, they have been pretty
good on defense. That's why you make a move and
you look, yeah, defensive head coach, it's no surprise there.
But that's why you make a move at the offensive
coordinator position. So there's been stretches where they have just
they they've not been good, that's the obvious statement. Because
they go on the road and they beat Auburn, remember
they had to come back and that they got to
pick six, found a way to win that one. Then
you lose against Texas, you lose against South Carolina. You
get ran out of the building really in both those games.
But then you come back and you have a close
loss against Ole Miss on the road, you beat Maine.
Speaker 4: That's not going to do anything, but you still you
get your job done.
Speaker 3: Then you lose a close one on the road against Missouri,
and then you beat Alabama last week. And so the
last four weeks it has looked like a completely different
team than it did when you were going through some
of the losses of Texas and South Carolina.
Speaker 2: Well, and to be fair, like LSU, if I sound
a bit concerned about Oklahoma, it's because we just seen
them what they can be like at their peak, right,
but they have been very up and down, similar to
LSU in that way, like what LSU is going to
show up like the Arkansas will be the Arkansas defensive team,
Will it be the team of the first halfcast A
and M. Will it be the team that moved up
and down the field, the office that moves up and
down the field at will against South Carolina, Or will
it be the team that we saw against Alabama that
looks completely incapable of any off into success. Will Garrett
Nasmyer be playing instinctive and snap and passes or will
he look a little hesitant and reticent. Oklahoma's kind of
in the same boat. Which, like wood Joklahoma, are you
going to get even in that last month, the good
month like the one that lost to the Zoo or
the one that ran Alabama just out the building like
one of the most physically dominant performances of the entire season,
beating the Tide twenty four to three. I will say this,
that game was in Norman. This game is on the road.
I know we talked about that a lot Albam weekend
and didn't meant anything, but it should mean something here.
If you look at those results and you see that, well, Oklahoma,
that's when they've struggled this year mainly has been on
the road.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Alabama game is the one time
that you just didn't show up. I mean you take
a look at the other games. Obviously, usc you have
a chance A and M. You're a complete control until
you weren't even the Florida game.
Speaker 4: Fourth quarter.
Speaker 3: You go into the start of the fourth quarter Tide,
and that's the one certainly they got away from you.
One of your favorite stats, stop rate. Have you looked
at that this week?
Speaker 2: No, give me a stop rate, Give me a stop rate, Jake, Jay.
Speaker 3: It's gonna favorite Oklahoma because LSU right now is eighty
sixth in the country. Fifty eight point five percent of
the time Oklahoma fell.
Speaker 2: Off, we were in the sixties like much of the year.
Speaker 5: Dude.
Speaker 2: That that's that's a bit disappointing.
Speaker 4: Oklahoma's still up from like the one on twin last year, but.
Speaker 3: Still, I mean last year was Oklahoma's twelfth seventy two
point one percent.
Speaker 2: So okay. So this, Jake, is why I think stop
rate is a great statistic because think about Oklahoma from
a points allowed perspective, they're okay, right, what did you
say they were eighth in the SEC. Yes, But so
what this tells you is the majority of the time
they're getting the stops, but their offense just sucks and
is giving the ball back to the other team a
ton and so like, yeah, Oklahoma is getting a super
high percentage of stops, but teams are getting more opportunity.
That's where Oklahoma's offensive shift in philosophy becomes dangerous because
all of a sudden, it's more ball control, more game control,
and trying to limit those possessions that you're giving back
to the opponent. And so that defense and that stop
rate can really shine.
Speaker 4: Right now.
Speaker 3: And you look at stop rates, I mean Notre Dame one,
Ohio State two, Texas three, Tennessee four, so all playoff
teams right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean imagine that, right, championship. Something's never changed, dude,
you know who said that? I'm pretty sure that all
off right, some things never change. And the then, right,
that's frozen from one of the Frozens. I don't remember
who said.
Speaker 3: I've got four older boys, and Harlow's not quite there yet,
so I couldn't tell you frozen.
Speaker 2: Get ready be you about to be.
Speaker 4: About to be in? It came out like twenty don't know.
Speaker 2: Mean, what is she gonna watch? You're not gonna show
her frozen?
Speaker 3: I mean, uh, yesterday, Uh, we've watched Cocoa with her,
which she actually sat down and watched a little bit
of that.
Speaker 4: Uh, she had some in Aladdin. Yesterday sat down and
watched Aladdin.
Speaker 2: But Aladdin is a Little Boys cartoon. In my opinion,
you need it. You need to start showing her snow
white sleeping beauty that feels like that can go both.
Speaker 4: I mean a whole New World no Aladdin.
Speaker 2: But but you know, for me personally, I think all
the Disney classic kid movies are both right. Like I
loved Little Mermaid growing up. I love Beauty and the Beast.
I love the Lot But but but I but but
I still put like if push comes to shove, I
would still put some of them in boy girl silos.
So again, I think there's MASSI appeal to both. But yeah,
Bro Show or Frozen do Frozen one? I mean, they're
all good. I can't wait for three, But the Frozen
one I watched. I mean I used to watch Frozen
one before I ever had kids. It was twenty thirteen.
I was fresh out of college, living in New Orleans,
mid twenties, feeling myself, and Frozen One became the soundtrack
that I would listen to whenever I would just need
to feel happy or feel feel a little good. So
I would say, watch it. You're gonna really enjoy it,
and I'm gonna catch you singing the songs.
Speaker 3: Man, I know, all those songs. I don't think you
can walk this earth and not know the Frozen songs.
Speaker 4: You know. To be fair, that's probably true.
Speaker 2: For like let It Go, Yeah, and some of the others.
But there's there's banger after banger on there, especially the
Frozen two soundtrack. It's interesting because when you first watch it,
I don't think it's maybe quite as memorable or does
it like immediately hook you the same way. But the
more time you spend with Frozen two, you're like, oh man, okay,
wait a second, wait a second into the unknown? Are
you kidding me? Like these are good songs, so fantastic.
I like both Frozen movies.
Speaker 3: Uh a favorite Disney movie of all time. Let's go
around the room? Uh t bob oh, go ahead and
start with you put on? I can't start, I can't,
I can't, Okay, I'll start. Lady Tramp's my favorite Lady
and Tramp classic. Can put it on right now. Something
about the way those old cartoons look love Lady in
the Tramp Lady.
Speaker 2: That's that's such an interesting answer. I never would have
I never would have guessed that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it, Alandra one, you got a favorite.
It's gotta be the first thing at post into your brain.
Speaker 7: Don't you remember the Titans.
Speaker 4: It's a Disney movie.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I mean, I mean, that's the most
tailor answer ever, but technically right, yeah, traditional movies.
Speaker 4: Okay, I like mulanat Wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, these are two. I think these are two pretty
off script answers, guys, and I'm very impressed. Alandra, you go,
and then I'll be ready.
Speaker 5: Okay, Disney like cartoon or just anything, I mean, you
go both. Okay, Cartoon, I think I think I'm with Tea.
Speaker 6: Bob kind of.
Speaker 5: And Frozen was really good, like I used to be
obsessed with it when I was in high school, which
is probably maybe I'm too old to be obsessed with it.
But and then like real life, I mean the Cheetah Girls.
Cheeta Girls too, Cheetah Girls to.
Speaker 2: Latin Flair Okay, okay, I would say this. Growing up,
my favorite cartoons would have been probably Aladdin and then
Beauty and the Beast. As an adult, I have a deep,
deep love for Sleeping Beauty. I think it is a
masterpiece of a film. It is stunningly gorgeous. Apparently in
the fifties they made it for these wide screens. The'se
like special kind of gimmicky theater wide screens. So it's
one of the few older animation movies that if you
put it on a modern television, the dimensions actually filled
the entire screen. The the final fight scene between Prince
Philip and Maleficent in Dragon Form is an action is
one of like the best animated action season scenes of
all time to me. So and also my middle daughter
was obsessed with See Beauty for a very long time,
so I like really watched that movie and Granular Keytail
and really fell in love with it.
Speaker 4: I don't know that I've ever seen it. Tea.
Speaker 6: I love Sleeping Beauty.
Speaker 2: You're gonna It's just a classic classic tale. Where were
you saying?
Speaker 6: Underrated Lunder Anastasia?
Speaker 2: Oh so not Disney, But that was my That was

Hester and T.
Speaker 4: Bob a shower, all right, Welcome back again.
Speaker 3: OTB one oh four five ESPN Beton Rouge College football
playoff rankings were released last night, and here's what the
matchups would look like. In South Bend, Indiana, we would
have number seven Notre Dame take on number ten SMU.
The winner of that game would take on number two
Texas in the Sugar Bowl. Over on the other side,
and Athens Georgia. You would have number eight Georgia going
against number nine Tennessee, a game in which we just
saw the winner of that would play number one Oregon
in the Rose Bowl. We would have in State College,
PA number six Penn State take on number eleven Indiana.
We would have in Columbus Ohio number five Ohio State
taking on number twelve Arizona State. The winner of Penn
State Indiana would take on number three Miami and the
Peach Bowl. The winner of Ohio State Arizona State would
take on number four Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl.
The first too out the Clemson Tigers in the Alabama
Crimson Tide. Any juicy there for you, Team.
Speaker 2: Bob, Again credit to US. I think we nailed the
allocation of teams that'll be in there. I mean quite literally.
My great hope is that given how conference championships will
play out and this last week, you know, there's gonna
be a couple of surprises somewhere. I really don't want
it to where we have teams from the same conference
matching up in the first round of the playoff. Like,
and I'm not criticizing this, this bracket just doing what
it does. In numbers, and I think that naturally the
conference championship will help stop this from happening. But like,
come on, I don't need Penn State Indiana, and then
who was it Tennessee?
Speaker 3: And who is the sec on sect Tennessee Georgia, which
we just saw.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, you know, I need I need
Penn State Georgia and uh Tennessee Indiana. Like that, That's
what I hope we get. And that's where it gets
a bit interesting, Jake, because if you're the collegeball playoff committee, uh,
you would be smart to go ahead and massage things
into that, right, because you can't, like as you do
the final rankings, if you got to move around a
team up or down one to try to get like
a good like inner squad matchup up, I would say
I would I would put my thumb on the scale
and do a little manipulating.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ross Dellinger had it yesterday.
Speaker 3: There is no policy for the committee to avoid first
round rematches, which really seems like a massive mistake. I
would be like, hey, look, we're gonna manipulate this thing,
and maybe they will. Maybe they just did this to
make it act like they're not going to, but I
don't need to see Tennessee and Georgia again this quickly,
Like we just saw that game in that stadium, Like
I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't need to see that again.
Speaker 2: Well, and to be fair, I do think that's actually
one of the some may argue with me here because
it is funny. Jake, have you have you heard the
calls for basically the BCS. Yeah, Like I was laughing.
But our guy Jake Crane the other day, you know,
I had this whole monologue about like the need for
an objective set of data points that we all agree
on that will like tell us who the best teams are.
And I was just thinking of that Nate Pargazzi's kid
from Messenel a couple weeks ago, like, and we will
call it the BCS, like we've arrived back where he started.
I think as much as I criticize a lot of
the subjectivity in the playoff committee, I do think, like
most things in life, it can be a weakness than
can also be a strength. And as long as I
feel like the correct teams make make the field, I'm
okay with some seeding shenanigans in order because you can
always justify right, like they can. That's the strength of it.
They can justify whatever they want to do. I'm a
criteria to create good matchups.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And the.
Speaker 3: Complete rankings look like this Oregon one, Ohio State two,
Texas three, Penn State four, Notre Dame five, Miami six,
Georgia seven, Tennessee eight, SMU nine, Indiana ten, Boise State eleven,
Clemson twelve, Alabama thirteen, ole Miss fourteen, South Carolina fifteen,
and then you get to Arizona State at six team.
But Arizona State would get that automatic qualifier for winning
the Big twelve. There so no surprise either that we
talked about it yesterday. Alabama, Ole Miss both ahead of
South Carolina because of the head to head.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah again, you know it sucks because I probably think,
I do think that South Carolina's.
Speaker 3: Arguably playing the best one number twelve team right now,
and maybe that would be a reason for them to jump.
Speaker 4: Uh wait, what what what you said? Clempson? Who's Clemson's
twelve right now?
Speaker 3: So maybe South Carolina if they, you know, won that
one and hey, chaos happened in front of them, maybe I.
Speaker 2: Mean to get a three loss team in you have
to have absolute chaos or maybe not because Georgia could
end up one, but I think they took it an
AFTERSC championship loss. But to get like a regular season
three loss team, and you'd have to have cass I
just in a world where Alabama would be on that list, Jake,
I do not see how I would ever not choose
Alabama from a brand standpoint everything else. And also, like
unfortunate for South Carolina, they have the head to have
lost with the Ole miss and out.
Speaker 3: So with Miami being six and SMU being nine, is
that telling us that if Miami loses the ACC Championship game,
maybe they're still in, but if it's SMU, then they
would be out. Maybe Clemson would take that spot if
they beat South Carolina.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Clemson beat South Carolina, I would imagine Jake
that well, I would imagine.
Speaker 4: Would have loved Miami. By the way, this committee loves Miami.
Speaker 2: Uh that is true, which is funny because I mean,
the offense is championship goold, but that's the only part
of the team that is. I think that set's interesting
pressing because I was laying that out too, and Aaron
doesn't think so though, Jake, because that would then be
what punishing SMU for losing a conference championship, And there's
some questions as to whether or not they'll do that,
but I do agree. I think that would probably be
Miami and Clipson if Clipson were to beat South Carolina.
Speaker 3: As I'm sitting here and I'm looking at some of
the you know, the different teams and maybe their resumes
right now, Clemson sitting there at twelve, and Clemson's interesting
because they don't have like great victories, but it is Clemson.
They're a big brand. They were a standard of college
football for a long time. But I think they have
one win right now over a bowl eligible team. One,
So it's weird because it's Clemson. And again, like brands
still matter. The Playoff Committee can tell you they don't,
but they do, and they have because here's their wins.
App State, NC State, Stanford, Florida State, Wake Forest, Virginia,
Virginia Tech, Pitt, the Citadel, Oh. Pitt might be the
only one that I think is Bowl eligible right now,
if I'm not mistaken yet, because Virginia Tech's five and six,
one win over one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be interesting in parsing through
all these records when we get here to the final
week because obviously people gonna team talk about Indiana in
that regard. I mean, if Texas doesn't beat text A
and M, that becomes really interesting because like, what's their resume.
There's there, there's a lot of it's gonna be interesting
all the holes poked in all of these different different
team seasons.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to find the like exact that here
here it is.
Speaker 3: All right, So when's over Bowl eligible teams heading into
the final weekend of the season.
Speaker 4: I got to listen in front of me. We'll take
a break, we'll come back, we'll break it all down.
It is OTB off the bench. I go to trash
rangers dot com. Trash rangers dot com.
Speaker 3: Also a reminder, with tomorrow being Thanksgiving, your trash pickup
day is still going to happen, right, You're not gonna
be left sitting there with all the trash. It's just
going to be pushed back a day. So if you're
typically on Thursday, that's gonna be picked up on Friday.
And if you're on Friday typically that's gonna be picked
up on Saturday. Yes, they are going to work on
the weekend. Not gonna find that with your city pickup.
Go to trash rangers dot com sign up today residential
commercial service. Also those roll off dumbs just we say
about three different sizes to choose from trash rangers dot com.
Speaker 2: See I mean still picking up on Thanksgiving. And you
know it because you're in communication with them, because they
are your local trash experts, and they give a damn
about the communy because they're a part of the community,
and they communicate to you, so they text you night
before it's your day, so you never get to put
out the kansagain. Go to trash rangers dot com today.
Once again, that is trash rangers dot com.
Speaker 1: Back to sports talk maybe bench.
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back in to OTB.
Speaker 3: Want to remind you about our friends over at k
too Z Window Coverings Katzblinds dot com. They've helped me,
They've helped my dad. They certainly can help you. I
think they even helped Jerry Jones. I mean we can't
confirm it, but he finally puts some curtains on there
for the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight. And I have
to assume he heard all about k to Ze, So
go to the website KDAZ Blinds dot com. All right,
T Bob wins over Bowl eligible teams heading into the
final weekend of the season.
Speaker 4: All Right, it's the long list, so stay with me here.
Speaker 3: Texas seven, Notre Dame and Penn State and Alabama six,
Ohio State and Boise State.
Speaker 4: Miami, SMU and Ole Miss all have five.
Speaker 3: South Carolina, Georgia, Oregon they have four, Arizona State, Tennessee,
Indiana Twulane they each have three, and then I mentioned
earlier Clemson has one. So a lot of people make
a lot about Texas resume and schedule, but they do
have the most wins over both eligible teams.
Speaker 2: Okay, they played a lot of like pretty good teams,
That's what it is. They played a lot of good
not great. But to be fair, same thing I say
about Indiana does apply to Texas. They smoked all those
good teams. So like, I'm not going to ding you
too hard for that.
Speaker 4: Florida they did a couple of weeks ago, looks even better, right.
Speaker 2: And play the game, Oh yeah, yeah, yes, handling Florida.
But for what they've gone on to do, absolutely that's
a win that has appreciated value that is interesting, Jake.
That kind of feels like that should almost exclude Clemson
for me.
Speaker 4: Well, but what they I'm with you, I know, and
then that's two, it's two. I'm with you. It's weird like.
Speaker 2: Clinton in that case is like an outlier compared to
all of those other teams.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I mean they've had two chances to beat
other teams Louisville and Georgia. They don't get that done.
You know, what would South Carolina? What would that win kind.
Speaker 4: Of do there?
Speaker 2: So I.
Speaker 4: Don't know.
Speaker 2: Man. One wait, I was in the car all yesterday.
Did Hunt go viral for something yesterday?
Speaker 7: Trying to figure out the Brice Underwood thing about Portnoy
explaining that, uh, Larry Ellison didn't even go to Michigan,
his wife did and all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, freaking Joline, dude, Joline, why are you gonna do
me like this? Girl? Actually? We should, we should. We
should get into that price ctter with something later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we can play that. I don't think
he cursed on the video, Like, it's a long video,
so we'll have to check that. Okay, we'll see if
we can get to that, because I did see a
little bit of what Hunt said as well, and it's
kind of the full story of how that all kind
of went down. We'll certainly get to that. We got
a lot coming your way. Go and do our normal
Friday things here as well. Stay locked in OTV one
or four five ESPN batterage top the bench.
