Christmas season live from the Mercedes Bands of Baton Rouge Studio.
Here's Jacob Hester and t bab a beer.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Jake is gonna be so happy with
the Hour two rejoin.
Speaker 3: I know, I'm exa say he's not here.
Speaker 2: To be fair, I actually got this. I mean I
got on ironically as a child, probably about eleven, twelve
years old, something like that. Ten Maybe I got the
n Sync Christmas CD as a gift, like before we
knew that this would actually go on to be one
of the Christmas pop songs that's played consistently every year.
And I remember, I'll never forget it. I remember going
up to my room, put in my CD player and
being like, ooh, okay, okay, this thing's kind of a
jam right here. And then you catch up maybe Christmas. Yeah,
Rivers still suspending, guys, a couple more weeks for you
letter back in. We'll say this too, that Hour two rejoin.
Speaker 4: I know, we uh, we'd like to make sure big
voice lady is nice and jolly. Yeah, sultry, naughty and nice. Man,
it's nice touch.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Actually, I gotta be honest, actually zoned out a
little bit, so I didn't hear it. Now I want
to hear it. Can you play it?
Speaker 1: Stand as little helpers from Jacob Hester.
Speaker 2: I like that. We're off the.
Speaker 1: Bench, presented by All Star Toyota. Tune in for some
naughty and nice sports talk this Christmas season from the
Mercedes Bans of Baton Rouge Studio. Here's Jacob Hester and
t bab a bear.
Speaker 2: Hey now and nice big voice lady brought it on
that one.
Speaker 5: Your feet so naughty and nice.
Speaker 2: In midstream, Ad says just goes to show all bears
are idiots. Well guess what a bear is actually the
most populous last name in all of Louisiana. So uh yeah,
we're young, dumb and full of libido. Oh yeah yeah,
because that's what there was a lot of us out there.
So guess what if the idiots are the majority, then
you're not actually idiots because you're the majority, you rule
the day, right, It's like if if in in what
is it? If? Like I think there's an old Twilight
Zone episode where you have this woman who's very classically
beautiful to our eyes, but she exists in a world
where I think, like everybody's ugly, and so to them,
she's like a freak. In that same way, we all
may be idiots and you think you're smart, but you're
actually the idiot because there's more of us. You know,
history is written by the victors. So yeah, eat it, Nerd,
all right, saints, speaking of the victors, that's right, baby. No,
Victor Cruz Sunday as a sainted to the metal lens
to take on the giants. What he was a great
giant for a while there. Oh, he was awesome. Remember
the Sausa dance.
Speaker 4: They perfectly went from like him to Odell and they
had like the Fiery Receiver for like ten years.
Speaker 2: The Souper commercials, Yeah, oh I love a good camel
chunky sup commercial with your mom some reason. I always
remember the the Dono mc nab ones quite a bit. Yeah,
Idiocracy is coming true, Yeah kind of, guys. I finally
watched part of Idiocracy like last week, a couple of
nights in a row, and it's very good. Really. Two
on the nos really, two on the nose. Unfortunately. So yeah,
tell me if this doesn't excite you, okay, because you
think about all the time. So the NFL is just
a massive institute, right, probably like the second biggest sports
league in the world. I would guess, like the EFL
maybe or something. I don't even know major. I have
no idea the multi billion dollar empire. You know how
they've built that multi billion dollar empire on marquee matchups
like Sunday in New York Drew Lock, Derek Carr in
charge of the New York Football Giants and the New
Orleans Saints. That's the bad stuff, guys. I mean, god,
that's awful. This is just a complete mid off. Giants
have lost seven in a row. Again, it's Drew Lock
versus Derek Carr. I will say this though, I will
say this. I want to win. Go win it for
the Rizzler. You ain't gonna be able to take your
way to a great pick. It's just not gonna happen.
There's too many bad teams here. There's too many bad teams.
Screw it. Go out on your shield, go out with pride,
win it for the The Rizzler. Grew up fifteen minutes
from MetLife stadium, all these players purport to love him.
I say this, go prove it. Go prove it now. Unfortune,
you're gonna have to try to prove it without Taysom Hill.
And it's like, so, how do you play, Saysom Hill? Ah,
you can't. I don't think you can.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: Ultimately, I'm I'm kind of terrified that the Saints' offense
is going to nose dive without taysoon. But check this out.
Dexter Lawrence, very good nose guard for the near Football Gimes,
got hurt in the Things Giving game. He's out. It's
two time all Pro no longer there, and Eric McCoy,
Caesar Res and Luke Jaspatrick are all going to be back.
So we got that going for us, which is nice
maybe the first time. I think it's a first game
in which you can have your entire original starting offensive
line back in the lineup, and that pair is quite
nicely with Dexter Lawrence not there. Interesting little tidbit here,
Malik Nighbors showing up on the injury report on Thursday
with a growing injury. It was limited participation, So here's
open that you get a chance to watch him play
on Sunday TV. I say, you're telling me both the
Rizzlers are from New Jersey. Oh yeah, sure, I guess
I didn't think about that. Yeah yeah. And here's to
hoping that our guy Darren Rizzler is getting a big
boom after Sunday and not a doom. If you're talking
about how the Giants win this game, there's really only
one way. And it said they run the ball really well,
and unfortunately you kind of suck against the run. And
unfortunately they actually do run it pretty well. They're like
middle of the pack in the NFL right now. They're
awful a throw. But the problem is, whenever you run
it well, it makes it takes so much pressure off
the passco I mean, just look at Derek Carr, right,
when does Derek Carr do well when everything else is
going well well? And that same way, if the Giants
are able to have a lot of offensive success there,
you don't have Taysom Hill offensively, so your own offense
maybe takes a bit of a hit this game. Like
that's the path. It's a narrow path, but the path nonetheless,
so I'm gonna be there. Like the Saint's defense must
show some pride you gotta shut down this offense their garbage.
It's true, Locke show some pride and at this point
you're like, Okay, well, what can we look forward to
going for? What elements of this team are we interested in.
It's funny we talked about at the end of the
Nick Underhill interview on Monday, but ironically we've kind of
arrived in a place where, like some of the positions
that I'm gonna be watching, so the players, it's Trevor
Pinning and the tackles like Foag is still work in progress,
but I think he's just gonna get better and better better,
and he's had a really strong rookie year, And like
Fanga might be the only actual cornerstone that you have
right now going for Cooley, McKinstry could potentially be one
as well. He's definitely a name to watch over the
next few games. But I also want to see what
Trevor Pinning, you know, how good can he continue to
get because he's become a legitimate plus run blocker that
finishes nasty run block by far leads the team in
pancakes corner linekerch and he could maybe get there as
pass bugger. He's been better this year. They're having a
help them, they're going scheme. But he's been better this year.
And so again, if we're looking for pieces to carry forward,
you're definitely carry forward. And tell Yesse maybe Pinning now
maybe it's a guard. Like if you have a chance
basically where you're drafting, maybe tackle ends up being the
play and that'd be great. Maybe you bump Pinning down.
But like I want to see those guys, can you
carry them for? I mean to cool A mckinstrey. Can
he prove to be a true CB one or CB two? Uh?
And then how about this again, Kendre Miller, do anything,
do anything, especially in the absence of Taysom, do anything.
So it is the forgetting Sarah Marshall thing you got, Well, no,
you gotta do something. Just do anything. Please. You're trying
to say he'd sit his oland and you talk about yesterday.
Prove it, go prove that it does sound. So those
are my thoughts on the I do think the same
twin for what it's worth, I think the Giants are disaster.
I think the Saint's defense will show some pride and uh,
I trusting Clint Kubiak enough to where the offense will
not be nearly as effective without Taysum with that whole
low lineback, and maybe with Kendre Miller added to the mix,
and with the year that Kamara has had, I think
that they can create enough offensive success to win that game.
Tay Tae, where's your head at? With Saint Jimes something,
it's gonna be close.
Speaker 4: I think it's a I think it's a defensive game
because look, Drew Locke, is he a step up from
Tommy DeVito? Absolutely he is. You mentioned their ability to
run the football. Tyron Tracey's been really good this year.
I mean, he's kind of like the surprise of that team.
Devin Singletary is back as well, for what that's worth,
and he's he's been pretty solid Cinra turning from injury. However,
if the Saints can sell out to stop the run,
I get they're not good at it, but my Laite
neighbor's a limited participant. You have Drew Locke, That passing
game doesn't really scare me. And then on the other
side of things, like if you're the Saints, you're a
completely different team with this offensive line not just being
able to run the ball, but Derek Carr I mean,
you know, he's he's so much better with this offensive line.
We saw how good they were the first couple of
weeks of the season. Now, granted, sure that the teams
they played, the Panthers and the Cowboys are not good teams,
but you also had that offensive line and you control
the game. All five of those guys are back. And
for that reason, I'm going to Orland Saints, but a
in a close one. Low scoring. I mean, I'm thinking
something like seventeen thirteen. I mean, I think economically really
low scoring.
Speaker 2: I would agree that I'd be surprised. Maybe Koobiac Company
proves us wrong, but that that that that would seem
to line up. So again, though I want to win,
I want to win. I think losing would just feel
bad and lame and suck. And again, you look at
somebody like this seat, like that really is something to
to to winning? Uh, Chris Carudieri says, back for the break,
My four year old yelled off the bench, and her
six year old sister yelled with Professor t.
Speaker 4: Bob boom boom boom, boom, boom boom.
Speaker 2: Five boom, five booms for the Gudiero's family. Hell yeah, dude, Boom, actually,
can you bring me that? We bring the boom music
real quick? Can you can you get with that real quick?
Speaker 3: I can't but talk while I do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to do work, mister Big five allusion
to both the Giants and Pants the same season. O, no, no, no,
Dennis Allen would have lost this game. Okay, the Rizzler.
I ain't losing this game. We're coming. We give five
big booms to the Gudiererra's family. Yep, the right g men.
You ain't ready for this them, You ain't ready.
Speaker 5: Men.
Speaker 6: We'll be bringing the boom around the corner past three.
We call him Big Justice because that's what he said.
Speaker 2: Boom. You gotta keep going to and get to the
wizz resverse at least bring What do you all think
Jake would be doing right now?
Speaker 4: Probably sitting there with his head in his hands maybe
or just there shaking his head those do some.
Speaker 2: Research, Johnson, what am I listening to? You're obviously your
brain is not rotten enough. If you don't know about online,
you gotta be on line more.
Speaker 4: Honestly, tbout Part two is better than this one if
you've heard it.
Speaker 2: I have, but it's the rizzler on this one. I
don't think he's definitely on he has he's definitely on
one of them because he has a line about like
the panther that wears black.
Speaker 7: Like okay, and the picture is so wholesome.
Speaker 2: Just good family fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look how wholesome that pick is.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to do this as quad Bob. Okay, So, no, rest.
Speaker 4: What are y'all gotta bring? You can't bring the boom?
They brought the boom. What are y'all gonna do the coomb?
Speaker 2: But no, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Hmmm, you go dark with it and y'all bring the doom?
Speaker 2: I think, Uh, I don't know. I'll have to I'll
have to work shop that maybe. Yeah, Like okay, so again,
what did what worked previously? And how can we just
slightly alter it but execute at the same level. There's
a good game plan here because at that point too,
who knows where the Boom Family is going to be.
Right when Bob gets old enough start doing this like
Boom Family could be a thing of the past. People
might be feeling a little Boom reboot, and that's where
we step into the void. To be fair, I do
love Costco, even though I've never had the double chocolate
double Chunk Chocolate cookie or the Oh Danny Bastards. We
can bring the coboo. Okay, yeah, then yeah, we bring
the goon accurate. But no, but you don't want to
advertise that. All right, when we get back, let's preve
a little championship weekend. Also, the anti trust lawsuit or
excuse me, the anti trust settlement for the end A
is already a disaster. I will explain it x here.
Speaker 1: Off the bench.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true too. We would do ours at rouses
to be fair, we want to do Costco. We'd be
at rouses booming or dooman, gouning and dunan. You gotta
figure it out. G e a u X Tommies dot Com.
G e a u x Tommy's dot Com. That is
Tommy's windows doors inside you. When you work with Tommy's,
you were going to see the difference. Clearly, they got
over twenty years of experience. So Tommy was working for
somebody else for twenty years, said, you know what, learn
a lot. There's some things I do differently, and he's
brought those changes to his company. Now eight years, eight
years of other than anti super service work because customers
come first. And so if you need some if you
have some faulty windows, intry doors, sighting gutters, you need
porch screens or patio covers and salt, we have you covered.
Got an experience crew. They can help you decide on
the perfect exterior replacement features to your home lifetime warranty,
the windows lifetime warranty on the society, I remember this
is energy officion upgrades, which means you saved. And these
are investments that pay for themselves. Invest in your home.
Go Tommy dot com.
Speaker 8: Chest Nuts roasting on an open file, Jack Frost nipping
at your.
Speaker 1: No, welcome in to the best morning sports. This show
around off the bench.
Speaker 8: Who and folks dressed up like guess Schemo.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows. This has been my turkey during the Christmas season.
This has been the song that I sing my kids
to sleep with every night to as opposed to a
I normally have. Uh. So, never let your dreams be dreams,
like Shilah buff told us so many years ago, Just
do it. So. There's a Tolkien poem called Bilbo's Last
Song that he wrote back in the day, And I
made up like a song for it, and since these
kids were babies, I would sing it to them, and
you know, I don't think my life my wife really
liked it at first, blah blah whatever, but I kept
singing it, kept saying it, and now they literally cannot
go to sleep unless I sing it to him. So
it worked and they have no idea that they're the
beneficiaries of a nearly completely bespoke nursery song or sleeping song,
whatever you call it, bedtime song. I don't know. It's
really good though. It's a really good poem about death
and life and sleeping.
Speaker 3: You're singing that your kids.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of parallels being sleeping in death, right,
it could just be going to bed, but it's also
you know, you're going into the west, which in the
Tolkna verse means yeah, basically, oh the piano, I mean,
crank that that does if you don't like little eggnog
in hand, nice quiet half Christmas tree playing at the
edge of your vision, college football playoff game about to
come up higher place on. So that's it. That's the
good stuff, guys. T you are you familiar with Nutcracker,
an absinthe drenched tale at joy theater tonight, Nola. No,
but it sounds like Nutcracker erotic. Yeah yeah, I am
dragging Teaba. We're going tonight. I'm gonna say it sounds like, uh,
I should I should try to get seen a second Nutcracker,
this one, this one, this one would be for me.
Yeah yeah, no, no, no, for next year, for next year, yeah,
this one. Which, by the way, guys, I changed up
the schedule. I'm gonna be on the Saturday night at
six show and the Sunday night at six show for
the Nutcracker. Uh. If you want to see your boys
the Purple Party then, which I know many of you do.
Are y'all real tree people? I can't remember where are
we staying on the real tree fake tree debata? We
had that I have a have a real tree in
my living room right now? Okay, so growing up I
was always fake tree.
Speaker 4: Victoria was real tree, which means we are now real
tree obviously.
Speaker 2: So good. I love a real tree. What about you, London?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I told you all the other should chop down,
try to go to a farm.
Speaker 2: And what about you right now though? Are you putting
up a tree? You have a tree up right now?
Speaker 3: Not right now?
Speaker 9: But I plan on getting one, and I just go
get like the little small ones, but it's still a
real one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to say the las I remember. I remember.
I think when I was your age, he used to
go like maybe LSU on campus had some like tiny
trees that the students will grow those pretty cheap.
Speaker 10: They were good.
Speaker 2: I can't remember like that.
Speaker 3: Try that out.
Speaker 9: I usually just get him like at the store they
have the small ones outside.
Speaker 3: I don't have a huge place, so it's just me.
Speaker 2: Yes, Scott Dice, can we get it? Tomali, check on
the tummy, let us know how it's doing. I think
it made Scott's day yesterday when I told Colt McCoy
about his uh, his two dozen spicy port tomaly, he
was just flabberg acid, like any Texan would be. Yeah,
it's ridiculous. It's an absurd amount.
Speaker 4: Of If I impressed cold McCoy when doing anything, i'd
quit my job, I would do My life would be complete.
Speaker 2: No, I did not. I apologize.
Speaker 3: I've talked to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah I know, but that's not you gotta focus on Zuck.
See this is the problem. But like I'm not Nope, Nope,
you gotta focus on Zuckerberg. Right, I don't care. I
don't care. Colt has money, but he ain't got Larry
Ellison money.
Speaker 3: I just want Cole McCoy to know who I am.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: Where you can do that, Yeah, we can definitely do that.
I'll send them pictures of your feet.
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Umm oh this Mike hey, Uh that was a that

good with men's sexual wellness. You're a good one, dot com.
So the NCAA Anti trust settlement is kicking in in June, right,
July first, secon h and it's already a disaster. We
said that in theory right, collectives are supposed to be
made illegal when this settlement comes kicked kicked in per
the NCAA rules, they're trying to get rid of pay
for play, and then the schools will be paying directly
from their revenue.
Speaker 3: Now and.
Speaker 2: Well, boosters can't anymore. How about this from Ross Dellinger yesterday,
guys uh For states, this is a direct tweet from Ross.
Four state senators are pinning letters to their schools reminding
them that they would be breaking state law if they
comply with a portion of the NCAA's House settlement that
limits booster pay. The settlement's booster provision is an opposition
of laws in seventeen states. So I had talked to
a lawyer. I told you I'd talked to a lawyer
the other day that had said that he thought all
the lawsuits were already drafted for like the second that
this stuff tried to become a reality. But it looks
like states senators are literally getting saints. Senators just wrote
their colleges and said, hey, if you try to stop
these rich guys from paying players to come to the school,
that's a violation of state laws. So again, I don't
think NIL is going anywhere. I think players are going
to get a piece of the TV revenue pie, and
now they're also going to get paid by boosters. We'll see.
Matt Winner is a sports lawyer at Winter Sports Law,
and he says this kind of unilaterally restricted limit college
athlete compensation is never going to work long term or
maybe even short term, as this letter demonstrates, referencing the
letter that the senter's are up will be endless litigation.
Paying athletes is great, but the model needs to include
real bargaining with athletes. So once again, this circular conversation
arrives back where it began, which is Ultimately, if you
want to have some sort of cap if you want
to put some sort of guidelines in place, you have
to do the legwork of somehow collectively bargaining it. And
I don't know exactly how you do that when college
athletes are so transient, but I mean the NFL is
pretty transidor as well for your there like whatever. I
can't pretend to understand all the legal red tape about
how do you create a player's union of sorder or
how do you create a group that you can collectively
bargain with. But the NCAA, obviously, at least according to
a lot of lawyers yesterday on Twitter, does not seem
like they are going to be able to just unilaterally
come in and say we're not doing this anymore. So
I don't think things are gonna gonna change that much potentially,
at least today. I don't, right, Maybe yeah, I mean yeah,
Chat saying they need a salary cat, well, yes, that's
but that has to be collectively bargain, right, that has
to be collectively bargained. M All right, let's do that. Sorry,
I got a bit distract there. When we get back. Now,
let's do a little preview of Championship Weekend coming up
next on O TV. Off the Bench good to All
Star Toyota, Baton Rouge dot Com. All Star Toyota of
Baton Rouge. They're right there off an airline and Goodwood.
They're very conveniently located. And look, they have excellent selections

matter what price point you're at, no matter what type
of vehicle you want. If you want a tunder as Sienna,
you know, get a ton big old truck you want
with the minivan in the Sienna like whatever they got it.
All I would all say, look into the hybrids, guys.
You don't have to plug in your car and just
sit there, right, but you save a ton of money
because you get super efficient gas violence very silent too.
It's like a spaceship when you started. And then remember

All Star. Go all, start to the rouge, do come all?
Speaker 8: The weather outside is rightful?
Speaker 2: What the fire is so delightful?
Speaker 8: And since we've no place to go, let it no,
let it snow.
Speaker 1: Let it Welcome back to the ninth ranked morning sports
show in America.
Speaker 2: Off the bench for the public.
Speaker 8: The lights turned to wait them lo let its no,
let it. Let's know when we're finally kiss good night.
How it's going out in the storm.
Speaker 2: A little bit of Tulane news. Tulane gotta be getting
ready to pay John Sumraw. Uh this is Tulane's chance.
I mean, look, Tulane just had Willie Fritz poached last
year to Houston, but I would consider to be a
lateral move because of money. It's gonna be even harder
to hold onto Summerraw. As we are just here in
the beginning of coaching carousel and John Sumral may be
the hottest name of the market. You and season on him.
You see f's in on. Everybody's gonna be in on him.
Uh So, I don't know exactly what that looks like Tulane,
but one thing they do have going for him is
they got Darien Mensa, and what makes a coach very
happy is having a quarterback. But like, yes, if I
am Tulane, Look, you have a very wealthy alumni base.
You must find a way to raise the money to
keep both Sumrall and Mensa. If you do, your future
is gonna look pretty bright. Shout out to championship weekend.
Three Louisiana teams gonna be featured, right, so they're gonna
be playing in the Swag Championship, Uel gonna be playing
in the Sun Belt Championship, and Tulane going to be
playing in the American Championship. Here's to open that the
boot can go three to zero this weekend. Other games
going down this week in Timothy Shallomet gonna be the
guest picker in Atlanta for the SEC Championship. Sexy little
thing Timothy.
Speaker 3: Non SEC guy Timothy Shallamy.
Speaker 2: It would be very funny. Yeah, what's his connection?
Speaker 3: Nothing? He's literally from New York.
Speaker 9: Bro, if you a dual citizenship with like, okay, he
screams SEC.
Speaker 4: This morning when y'all are like, Chalame is the guest pick,
I'm like, wait, where's game Day?
Speaker 2: I was so confused, bro. After they did Nate bart
Cassey for that L s U game. All bets are off.
Speaker 4: Like Alabama Alabama for Alabama but liked, but his wife
went to Alabama.
Speaker 2: I know that. What I'm saying is like that shows
you right there, like, bro, if you can get shallow,
you get shallow. May he's the literal Hollywood it man,
right ended up on your Game Day broadcast. I have
no idea.
Speaker 9: So if you want to call him the holiday it man,
that's fine, but this is the wrong demo.
Speaker 2: He's not the holiday many. He just played paula Trade
and now he's playing Bop Yellen.
Speaker 7: I'm saying he's the Hollywood guy.
Speaker 3: Like, that's fine, this is the wrong demographic for it.
Speaker 2: If I was him, I would go fully trades and
like before my picks, I would drink blue juice and
then throwing like the blue like like and dude, and
then throwing like the blue contact and be like, I see,
you know, I've seen it a narrow path and then
oh my god, rest in full organize that. But either
way where he like you know, he drinks the the
worm juice and he and he sees the destinies like
maybe he can see how the games will play out.
I've seen him, and I think Texas wins on Saturday.
But then again, I thought Texas was the better team
going into the first Georgia Texas matchup, and I got
proven wrong, So maybe I'll be wrong again. On paper,
Texas is easily the better team over Not easily, but
they are. They are, they are legitimately the better team over.
Speaker 4: Under how much trash is thrown on the field by
Texas students.
Speaker 2: Well, so I would like to join you in this,
but L s U fans did as well, So I
feel I feel like situation. No, I know, I know,
I think this. I think that Texas after that game
said efet, we're bigger, We're going to run the ball
on people, and they have used that to devastating effect.
I mean they just went into College Station ran the
ball fifty plus times at five yards of pop. So
the thing is, though Kirby knows that, and Kirby, uh,
there's something that Colt was talking about yesterday and he
spot on Kirby's like Belichick, Where what's Belichick's the main thing?
It's okay, look, we're gonna take away your best thing
and put our resources there and then make you try
to beat US elsewhere. So can they stop Texas from
running the ball. They did it the first game, but
Texas wasn't nearly as committed to running the ball as
they are now. Wisner's really come on as of late.
Speaker 3: It's also the Texas defense.
Speaker 2: For me, no, it isn't even Sorry, everything starts with
the Texas defense. That's why they're good. That's why they're
more championship. They have the best defensive line in college football.
They have the best defense potentially in college Yeah, they're yeah,
but that's why they're actually well, like a real championship
threat this year is because the defense. It goes back
to what he said after their Arkansas win, Like somebody
were like, that's the close get this is that? But
I think I see a team is just winning the
road dominated with defense. It came out with they need offense.
Like if you're telling me that the weak side of
the ball is the ball that has Steve Sarkesian and
Quinn yours, I'm like, Okay, then I can believe that
those guys could get it together for a game plan.
So can Kirby stop the rushing attack? And if they can,
then can Quinn overcome? But yeah, ultimately I see Carson
Beck struggling against his defense. I mean, Trevor Ettien was
the reason why George had so much success in that
first game, and he's gone now he had the transfer portal,
didn't he believe So that's years and it's all he's
not playing. He's played everywhere he wet.
Speaker 3: I also just don't think Carson Beck is that good.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's weird. It's such a mixed bag. Yeah,
you know, I think I think. I mean, looking over
the first and second half against Bama, Yeah, I think
Beck's good.
Speaker 4: But when he gets behind in ball games, that's where
he gets in trouble because he's like, I have to
make this play for my team, because I mean, let's
be honest, he probably knows this is not the same
Georgia was two years ago, even last year in terms
of the number of weapons. He's like, this all falls
on me. I have to make this play. And then
that's where he gets careless with the ball. So that's
the thing. Let's say Texas gets the ball first, open
and drive physical with Wisner running back.
Speaker 2: They score.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they force Georgia to a three and out. They
score again, and they're up fourteen to nothing. How does
Carson Beck respond, No, it's big in that game.
Speaker 2: I agree. I mean he did come back between a
bit too different beasts against that Texas defense. I mean,
if that happens, I think they're probably cooked. So yeah,
I think Texas wins. I'm kind of cheering for Georgia
as the lesser of two evils. I just you know,
the devil you know versus the devil you don't. I
can't live in a world where Texas wins the SEC
championship the first year and they just had the number
one recruiting class and they'll be like the two seed
going to the playoffs. Can't do it, can't have it.
The Ohio State excuse me, Freudian slip. The Penn State
Oregon game is fascinating to me because these two teams
are actually way more similar than people think. They both
want to run the ball first and foremost. They both
played great defense. The only difference is and they both
have super efficient quarterbacks, almost the exact same quarterback rating
on Drew Roller Dylan Gabriel, the difference being Gabril's got
a little more rushing ability, although Aler's sneaky, athletic and
Gabril's got a little more volume throwing the ball. I
see this as a defensive battle, though I think it's
very close. I do think the quality of Oregon's skill
weapons in the end put up end up putting Oregon
up over the top. But but I'm actually really excited
for this man and James Fagan. Come on, I mean,
this is your chance, bro, that ain't Ohio State, that
ain't Michigan. Could you, against all odds at a Big
ten championship to your resume when you never would have
thought you had a chance because you just we all
assumed that Ohio State was going to roll in Michigan.
Who do you think? What's that.
Speaker 3: Oregon?
Speaker 4: I can't I can't pick, I can't pick uh James Franklin.
Speaker 2: In big games. Yeah, here's the thing. The First Lands
got a little bit of this, but they wanted a
city against Ohio State earlier. But he's got a little
bit too.
Speaker 4: The next big game James Franklin wins will be the
first big game that James Franklin.
Speaker 2: Remember they did beat Ohio State many years ago, way
too long ago.
Speaker 4: They weren't they beat him, They weren't where they is
winless against top five consulting.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't pick him. Yeah, I think it's a
good matchup. But I mean I'm going. I'm going Dan Lanning.
I mean, I trust him more.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. I know, Darling Dan, Darling Dan and the Ducks.
In the Big twelve Championship, we got Arizona State and
Iowa State. I feel bad. I feel like I love Dalingham.
I'm kind of cheering for him. I feel like the
loss of Jordan Tyson's too much to overcome. That's like
them losing Trey Harris. Like you go and look at
the production and it is insane. How set Like, Okay,
I'll just look it up right now so I can
reinforce this point. And remember you say, oh, well, well,
Jackson Darts started to get it together post your Hairs,
but it took multiple games for him to start to
trust those other guys, and he had a lot of
other weapons to trust. I don't know that. I don't
know that Arizontate does so. Jordan Tyson seventy five catches,
eleven hundred yards, ten touchdowns. Camp Scattaboo's actually the second
receiver on the team with thirty five catches for sixty eight.
So how about this for a drop off, Guys, you
go from Jordan Tyson seventy five catches, eleven hundred yards,
ten touchdowns to Xavier Gillery seventeen catches, two hundred and
ninety one yards, three touchdowns. That's a massive blow against
a very good Iowa State defense.
Speaker 4: It's big, but uh, I mean Sam Levitt he's been
pretty efficient this year.
Speaker 2: And Jon's Rocko Beck. They're pretty similars.
Speaker 4: But for me, it's it's it's Scataboo is the difference
in this game. I mean his ability. You've seen him
take over multiple games this year. I mean just running
through those defenses. Now, IOA States have been pretty solid
on that side of the ball as well, But I
think Kenny Dillingham and Arizona State are rolling.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: I think I would say wins. Actually, I think I
always say wins their first conference championship, guys in one
hundred and twelve years.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then finally the ACC SMU Clempson, I am. I
kind of think Clemson's gonna win. I mean, if we
really believe, like we all like to say that we
do that South Carolina is playing like a top five,
top ten team in the entire country. Clipson had them,
I mean had them, yeah right down. Won that game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, literally the last game.
Speaker 9: Literally threw a pick in the last eleven seconds.
Speaker 2: I mean not only that, you had fourth and fourteen
right if if if, if Lenora's Sellers doesn't do Lenora
Sellers thing, the game's over. So and SMU remains a
deeply untested team. They got the Louisville road win, which
is nice, but it is I mean, the one ranked
team they played they lost to b YU. So yeah,
I think Clipson actually wins, which actually, personally, I am
kind of cheering for two because I think that holds
Alabamau whould be great.
Speaker 4: I think SMU should get in regardless like los about
like ten points, I think fifty. Well to your point, like, yes,
SMU is untested, but I get that it's not this
group of Clemson players. And I know everybody feels a
certain way about Dabbo. Debo knows how to win these games.
He's been in these moments before. SMU has never done that.
I mean, this is their first year in the ACC.
You got to think Clemson's more ready for this. Although
you know what, we haven't talked about that. I was
thinking about the other day. Remember SMU was like, we
don't don't we don't want the money to join the conference, Like, well,
we don't need to. Just let us in, just give
us a shot. And they're in the conference championship their
first year, like let's go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy, I mean, but also like that's what
you can say when you're a trust fund university. No,
I get it.
Speaker 4: But the fact that they were like, hey, like I said,
we just want a shot, Like they got their shot.
Speaker 2: I saw on an Instagram reel the guy asking SMU
fans with their biggest financial flex was, and it like
I just had no idea how much money was there.
You always heard about it, but like it is truly
just all trust fund babies with like hundreds of millions
of dollars.
Speaker 9: There are segments in Dallas that have like a ridiculous
amount of money, Like the Highland Park area is insane crazy.
Speaker 2: I can only imagine how competitive those Christmas parties are.
Like when you say like in wines trying out do
one another.
Speaker 4: When you say insane amounts of money, like are there
multiple billionaires in.
Speaker 2: The Dallas Yeah?
Speaker 4: Actually I was just I was just saying, like, you know,
if one of them wanted to maybe like throw out
a ridiculous bid and like I don't know, like by
the cowboys or something like, I could get behind that.
I don't know they're that rich, That's what I'm asking, Like,
how rich are we talking?
Speaker 2: You got a genetically engineered reindeer with a shiny red
note for my party? Oh you didn't get one.
Speaker 3: Feels like they would do something.
Speaker 2: Sorrythic hire the hair closer to God. All right, let's

Speaker 3: Troubles will be miles. We are as an old and

Speaker 2: Your uh getting into it's wonderful life territory. I'm gonna
hold off to work closer to Christmas. Very exciting. Speaking
of Chris present, she can just leave this plane. Uh
the portals open. This means a lot of team You're
gonna be through buying presents for Christmas. Jackson Arnolds in
the portal disaster for oh, you let down Gabriel, go
promote Arnold here, he said, and Arnold left you as well. Uh.
Now what's interesting are the team's targeting Arnold apparently, UGA,
Auburn and Mississippi State thought to be some of the
lead dogs here. Uh U g A, We'll see. There'd
be a very competitive room for Arnold's step into, right,
I mean don't they do they ever shot at I
think we're shot at there. Not that he's like gonna
be the guy, but like they have they have whatever,
they have a lot of Yeah, I mean they have
a lot of guys. Uh Auburn, duh, Like priority number
one for Hugh Freeze has to be quarterback and that'd
be a similar skill set.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: Miss Bee State's interested because Jeff Levy is the one
that did recruit Arnold originally at Oklahoma. And so you know,
I do snaps of there Murray, which please, everybody goes
up due trying to hit thirty k by the end
of the football season. We're getting really close, guys, so
please if you could help us out. But Aaron calls
games and so he's meet with Levy. Had one of
the Missippi State games that he called and they started
talking about Arnold and Levy was like, I don't know, man,
I mean, I thought he was awesome, So I know
what they're doing with him right now? Yeah, I'm paraphrasing,
so like, that's something you never to keep an eye on. Uh,
Miller Moss in the portal. It seems like Louisville may
be the spot there. Louisville's traditionally been a very aggressive
portal team. They're expected to go after Miller Moss hard
they'd be a good gift for them. Connor Wigman's in
the portal. That doesn't do too much for me. Miszoos
thought it'd being in Houston. He's from Houston. Now make
a lot of sense. And here's the confusing When Cayden Salter,
you may be saying who, But that's the Liberty quarterback.
Two years ago he was unreal and this season just
completely fell off. He do for a thousand US arts
for seventeen less touchdowns from thirty two to fifteen. He's
still threw six picks. Yards for a tempt went from
nine to nine to seven to two. Percentage completetion went
from sixty one to fifty six twelve rushing touchdowns separate
one thousand rush yards to five hundred. So I don't
know what happened to Kayden Salter, But Syracuse, Indiana, Auburn,
Vanderbilt all names to watch and no surprise, all names
at a huge success of transfer quarterbackcess here. Don't know why
Syracuse on the list. Seems like they're good for a while,
common cord but still names. Maybe l SHO should watch.
I don't think you're gonna be able to get in.
But Daniel Finneman from Perdue white safety, one of the
safeties in the entire country. He was a top one
hundred player entering the year after his true freshman year.
Notre Dame seems to be the team to beat. We'll
