Peter Burns. Are you joking like, what a what a launch?

29
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,920
Bad boys with y'all?

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,599
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, definitely a downgrade once we go from

31
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:44,400
you to Peter though.

32
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that is is not my assessment to me.

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,120
I am honored you said that. I have honored you

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:52,599
said that.

35
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,239
Speaker 1: Uh JD.

36
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:56,319
Speaker 5: Somebody we were talking to here in studio right before

37
00:01:56,319 --> 00:02:00,319
you hopped on. I gotta ask who is coordinate else

38
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:04,799
rival in the IVY League Because so I've done a

39
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:07,280
lot of different shows and me and Dallan cuff Dow shows.

40
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:10,199
Speaker 1: He was a guy that played basketball for Columbia.

41
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 5: I've had great teammates that have played in the IVY League,

42
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,800
and there's always like that one team that every IVY

43
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:17,439
League school just does not like.

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I mean we're kind of the bad

45
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,479
boys of the IVY League. I'm not gonna lie to you.

46
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:24,120
You know, we don't like anybody. Nobody likes us, and

47
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:27,000
we love it that way. I think on on paper

48
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,639
we share a state with Columbia. So the Empire State

49
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,199
Bowl is what we played at the end of the

50
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,439
year when you battle for uh state of New York,

51
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:37,800
which is I mean it gets ugly.

52
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: Boys.

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 6: You think you think Auburn Alabama get ugly, this one

54
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,919
is there is. There's no love loss. We got stat

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,120
scores being thrashed, we got we got trust funds being

56
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,520
being talked about. But I will say this, anybody in

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,319
the conference, we all just kind of hate Harvard Yelle

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,759
Princeton because they're the most peakies up operation hole, you know,

59
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,400
like they have to throw their name around. We all know.

60
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:02,439
You get into school there the grade you want to curve,

61
00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:04,039
and you can just ride that all the way to graduation.

62
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,759
We actually, we actually have academic integrity over at our school.

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,280
But I hope that answers your question.

64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 5: No, it's actually perfect and gosh, now we've got to

65
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,039
rethink a lot. So my oldest son is going to

66
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,759
be a sophomore. He is a large human being. He

67
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,639
is like almost six two two fifty. I think he's

68
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,240
got a real chance to play some college football. But

69
00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:28,439
and my wife, his mom gets mad at me because

70
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,639
I'm like, ever since he was little, I've envisioned him

71
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,680
playing in a winged helmet, but not for Michigan, not

72
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:36,240
for Delaware, for Princeton.

73
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:38,719
Speaker 1: But you just you just made that.

74
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,759
Speaker 5: I mean, you just maybe changed my mind there with

75
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,960
the way you said the pinky yet, because look, I

76
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,759
can't have a tagline of too gritty to be pretty

77
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:47,560
and then have a pinky up son.

78
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 6: That I'm I'm so glad you're saying that way. I'm

79
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,439
stu glad that you've already been fed Princeton in that

80
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,840
In that context, listen, you don't you don't want your

81
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,840
son to go to school and have a college experience

82
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:02,240
in Princeton, New Jersey. I mean, that's not nobody's nobody's

83
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,520
talking about their memories out. I mean also, I'll say this,

84
00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:06,680
there's no Greek life, so they have eating clubs. You

85
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,719
don't want your son talking about eating clubs in the

86
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:11,840
college experience. You want, I'm talking about being upstate in

87
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:15,000
the orchards at a school with the dairy farm. That's

88
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,639
I think more sure than to britty to be pretty

89
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:20,360
mantra for you. So yeah, we'll talk off the year

90
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,959
we're gonna yeah together and we'll get okay.

91
00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: Thing happens look fair enough, fair enough.

92
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 5: One of my favorite teammates ever played at Cornell, so

93
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:30,240
I can certainly get behind that eating club. I have

94
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,839
to text you about that. I don't know what in

95
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:33,600
the hell a eating club is, but I'll text you.

96
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:37,920
I'll get that information. Of course. JD want to have

97
00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:40,720
you on Talk a little LSU Talk a little sec

98
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:44,199
but like before, I you know, throw any thoughts into

99
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,720
your brain. Don't want to cloud your judgment. Here your

100
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:50,439
initial thoughts on this twenty twenty five LSU football team.

101
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 6: I love this LG football team in twenty twenty five.

102
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,600
And that's not just because I'm on y'all's wonderful program

103
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,000
right now. It is genuinely a thing to me. Where

104
00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:02,000
last time we had to talk, Jacob, last time we

105
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,519
got to talk together on another show that you have roling.

106
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:06,959
I was just telling you, like, the longer we go

107
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,839
into the offseason, the more I'm looking at LSU and

108
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:12,240
I'm running out of reasons to not like them. And

109
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,480
I understand there's the offensive line that you know, you're

110
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,399
just kind of wait and see about a little bit

111
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:20,519
when you lose a Will Campbell, and I know there's

112
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,879
a little bit of a hey, how to the portal

113
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:24,680
pieces fit together? But like on paper and the off

114
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,319
season is played on paper. I fall more and more

115
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:29,000
in love with LSU every day. And I will say

116
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,519
this too, because we get a lot of pushback on

117
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:32,560
our show around Brian Kelly, and I can't imagine the

118
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,560
same for y'all. I can't imagine anyone in the right

119
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,959
mind is saying a negative board about that van. But

120
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,160
if they are, if they are seeing if it's maybe

121
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:41,680
a reason to not be successful in twenty twenty five,

122
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,759
I go back and look at the course of his

123
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,560
career and it's like, one, really the National Championship is

124
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,439
really freaking hard. They only give out one a year

125
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,079
to one of one hundred and thirty plus teams throughout

126
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,000
what thirty six now, So that's the first part. The

127
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,959
other part is he's coached over twenty years and one

128
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,720
north of seventy percent of his games. Does it feel

129
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:00,560
like he's the problem? If that's the beture? For so,

130
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,399
I love LSJU, I love the roster of nuts, I

131
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:02,879
love all that.

132
00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:07,319
Speaker 5: I think the difference this year is going to be

133
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,040
like actually having depth, because like Lshu's had top line talent,

134
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,600
we could go with Jayden Daniels with elite neighbors and

135
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:17,319
Brian Thomas junior, like we could give you top end

136
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:20,199
talent Will Campbell like you just mentioned. But the problem

137
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,839
I think has been you're so paper thin in some

138
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,279
of these positions, Like one injury really caught like even

139
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,360
last year, like you have a guard Dellinger go down

140
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,959
in the A and M game and it was like

141
00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:34,560
doomsday for you, Like at a place like LSU, like

142
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,399
you got to be able to have another guard that

143
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,519
can go in there and it's not something that's like

144
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,199
a blaring just deficiency for you. So I think what

145
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,519
they've added in the portal has created some great competition

146
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,199
as well, because even those portal pieces now on the

147
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:51,759
offensive line, they're not guaranteed to start. Because the players

148
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,160
that were brought in through high school recruiting, they knew

149
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,000
they had to kind of raise their level of play,

150
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,480
and then they played like this you know, air quote

151
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,879
bomb squad that they had to put against Baylor in

152
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,079
a bowl game, played really well against a pretty good

153
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,160
Baylor team. And so I think just having more bodies

154
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:08,639
that you can count on is going to help LSU

155
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,079
this year.

156
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:12,759
Speaker 6: Even just the awareness to exactly what you just said,

157
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,439
go through a season realize, hey, what we had in

158
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,639
place wasn't good enough. So it felt like to me, Jacob,

159
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,800
that they were a team that decided to not just

160
00:07:23,879 --> 00:07:26,439
participate in the portal, but actually go like win in

161
00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:28,639
the portal. You know, we all have those classes where

162
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:30,519
it's like you get credit for speaking, you know, when

163
00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:32,160
you raise your hand, it's like, oh, you answer a question.

164
00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 4: Good for him.

165
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,759
Speaker 6: Like they went from doing that to now actually like

166
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:38,959
making study guide, passing tests and doing more than passing tests,

167
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:40,439
doing the extra credit. And so now they got a

168
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,879
top two portal class according to our metrics at on

169
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,680
three And I think that's going to be a massive

170
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,040
part of this. One more thing I'll add to Garrett

171
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,839
Nusmeyer being in a situation now to where just mentally

172
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,720
knowing what he's walking into when he walks into a

173
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:57,639
semi sort of playoff situation in the month of November

174
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,040
early October, like when he goes and play against Alabama,

175
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,639
even when it was at home, you know, and that

176
00:08:02,959 --> 00:08:05,800
was his first time having to deal with that kind

177
00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:07,319
of pressure. And that's not to say that it got

178
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:09,079
too or didn't get to him, but now he knows

179
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,839
that feels like I think it's only gonna lead to

180
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:12,519
a better performance from him on the field.

181
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 5: This does feel like the year of the quarterback in

182
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:19,120
the SEC. So certainly Garrett Nessmeyer is right there at

183
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,079
the top of that conversation. But you look at DJ Lagway,

184
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,040
you look at Lenora Sellars, you look at everybody that's

185
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:27,959
coming back, I mean, the unknown of Arch Manning. But

186
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,639
you got Diego Pave you could throw into that conversation.

187
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,080
Who might get the headlines Matier coming over from Wazoo

188
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,159
and what he did in his career going to Oklahoma. Like,

189
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,440
from top to bottom, this is one of the best

190
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,840
years I can remember in the SEC. And what's funny

191
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,759
about the JD is the teams with the questions are

192
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:46,919
like Alabama and Georgia.

193
00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, And you said Texas like the best rosters

194
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,960
have sort of this unknown at quarterback, which to me,

195
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:56,519
I think he was across college football even like you

196
00:08:56,799 --> 00:08:59,759
said SEC, and you're absolutely correct, and we're looking to it.

197
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,720
Ohio State, look at that Oregon, I mean, Penn State

198
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:06,039
has the most proven thing at quarterback, and we're still

199
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,120
not sure if they can beat a team with the

200
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:12,080
logo of any substance. So I think going back to

201
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,519
the SEC what you just said that to me makes

202
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,399
this extremely intriguing, like you mentioned, but also I think

203
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:21,120
it just continues to favor LSU because they are the

204
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,679
best combination right now in my mind of what you

205
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,879
just said top to your roster plus approven commodity at quarterback,

206
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,639
and then the opportunity across the SCC of like we

207
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,080
don't know exactly what we're getting from Understocks and exactly

208
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,919
what we're getting from March Channing, and so all that

209
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,720
to me builds into this idea of I think LSU

210
00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:41,120
will be playing in Atlanta for an SEC championship on

211
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,559
conference title weekend. I really do.

212
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:45,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of those quarterbacks that you were mentioning across

213
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:48,440
the country, LSU's going to face in week number one.

214
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: K Klubnick.

215
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 5: I mean last year certainly took a lot, I mean

216
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,039
just continue to take big strides, I mean leaps from

217
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,159
what he was the year before, and it was probably

218
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,600
a little bit unfair of the expectation that he had

219
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:02,720
thrown on him when he was a young football player.

220
00:10:02,759 --> 00:10:05,240
But I mean last year really showed what he could be,

221
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,879
what we all thought he was going to be. And

222
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,799
you talk about marquee matchups up on the blinking lights

223
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:15,960
right there, LSU Clemson their version of Death Valley primetime.

224
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,759
It is going to be. I know, Texas and Ohio

225
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,080
State is going to get like get all the conversation

226
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,840
game days there. But if you're giving me a game,

227
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,000
and not just because you know I'm gonna you know,

228
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,559
be there calling the game whatever, you give me a

229
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,679
game that I would watch from start to finish in

230
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,919
Week number one, how can it not be that game

231
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,639
between those teams and those two quarterbacks.

232
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 6: Oh, I mean in terms of impact, like that might

233
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:42,720
be the one when it comes to fan base vibes

234
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:46,000
that will be the most impactful. Because I mean if

235
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,440
Brian Kelly loses a Week one game again and he

236
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,159
you know, put a pretty solid fist to that table

237
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,120
in Vegas last week last year, I could say in

238
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,600
Week one he made Bills Mafia this whole thing to

239
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:01,639
get it. I mean it may be top row onto

240
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,759
the table, crack that thing, and I mean I'd be

241
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:07,080
here for the content that would provide. But no, I

242
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,639
mean also too, if you're if you're Clemson, like exactly

243
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,679
what we're saying with LSU as to how much they have,

244
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,799
you know, via the portal and the roster and the

245
00:11:14,879 --> 00:11:17,240
quarterback Like it may not be so much through the portal,

246
00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:19,919
but Clemson has the best for turning production, the most

247
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,519
turning production in all of college football. Like, if there's

248
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,120
another team up there with LSU saying, hey, this is

249
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:27,919
our year, uh, it's absolutely Clemson. And I mean credit

250
00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:29,639
Clemson too for the way that I think they have

251
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:32,679
kind of adjusted their approach as well. And that's not

252
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,240
saying that Dabo's gone gung ho in the portal or

253
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,519
that they're you know, throwing out the biggest bag in nil.

254
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,600
But the thing that we've all been asking of Clemson

255
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,399
for a while now, it feels like, is do you

256
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:46,960
have guys on the outside that can actually separate and

257
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,559
strike a little bit of uneasiness into the heart of

258
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,720
a secondary And for the longest time that was missing

259
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,200
and that was what made old Clemson so good. Is

260
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,879
the Mike Williams, the Rtavius Scott that you go down

261
00:11:57,919 --> 00:12:01,000
the line. Now you have granted their young but Bryant

262
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,279
westco TJ. Moore, you got the vet in Antonio Williams backs.

263
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,039
There's a lot more names for Clemson now where I

264
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,440
think they feel a lot better as to the formula

265
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,480
they can actually play with you making Kay club Nick

266
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:15,480
give him a lot of credit, I think nationally for

267
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,039
just his resilience, because I think we see a lot

268
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,879
of times quarterbacks play with a lot of expectations, they

269
00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:24,120
play too early and then either their confidence gets bruised

270
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:27,080
or they develop bad habits or whatever it ends up being.

271
00:12:27,159 --> 00:12:29,159
Kate Clubney didn't have all the success in the world

272
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,480
from the jump, but ended up being able to stay

273
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,759
the course, develop, you know, keep the maintaing the main thing.

274
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:37,480
And now looking at a season where I think a

275
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,000
lot of people will have him on you know, the

276
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:40,720
heights and watch list going into the year.

277
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 7: JD.

278
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,759
Speaker 1: I do want to bounce real quick to the Big twelve.

279
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,639
Speaker 5: Last year Arizona State and what a great year in

280
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,759
camp Scattaboo. Love watching that guy play, obviously, I mean

281
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,720
somebody that you know. He won the meat Heead Player

282
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:56,639
of the Year award on my own show, and so

283
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,960
they're going to be without him. But the Big twelve

284
00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:00,879
is very interesting to be because I think they're gonna

285
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,000
have some really good football teams and it's going to

286
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,200
be a battle to see who wins that league.

287
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,799
Speaker 1: But I was thinking about you the other day.

288
00:13:06,799 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 7: Man.

289
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 5: We had like three guests on my Serious x SIM show,

290
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,320
and they all were pointing to.

291
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: Baylor being potentially this year's Arizona State.

292
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 5: So I know, I know you've got something ready to

293
00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:20,679
go and wax poetic about the Baylor Bears.

294
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 6: Well, what I would say, who has the worst I

295
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:25,080
was to win the conference? Let's just let's just bet

296
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,519
them because that was a few a year ago. So

297
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,799
maybe maybe we cash in. Yeah, but no, Man, the Bears.

298
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,559
I think I think doing this job at a level

299
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,799
where we're talking about all the teams, which is such

300
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,679
a blessing in a blast like, has maybe soured some

301
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,679
of that relationship in Waco for myself and the fan base.

302
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,399
I want them to know I can't quit them. I

303
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,320
wish I could, I can't. I can't quit them, and

304
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,039
this year to bring back Swier robertson their top ten

305
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,720
and returning production. Dave A. Randa's is the stoic of

306
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,639
college football. Like, there's a lot to like there, and

307
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,960
so I think what you just said about Baylor kind

308
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,720
of being that that sneaky maybe a little bit lower

309
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,519
or under the radar kind of team. I just I

310
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:07,480
love the way that their schedule works together, which is

311
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:09,960
funny to say because you open with Auburn and Waco.

312
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,559
But we talk a lot on our show about teams

313
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,480
that get to, you know, kind of step under the

314
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:17,840
heavy bar early on in the season. I know y'all

315
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,039
both played ball, so you know, like whenever you're going

316
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:22,039
to max, a lot of these different strength stafts will

317
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,480
have you put something on your back before you squat

318
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:28,200
that you don't actually squat with, just like fire up

319
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,919
the service system and you know, kind of have you

320
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,759
feel what it what it's like to have that that

321
00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:33,480
weight on your back before you go a little lighter

322
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,399
and squat it Like that's Baylor when they play Auburn early,

323
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:38,600
that's Bailey when they play SMU early. That's Baily when

324
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:40,879
they play ASU early. And so if you can get

325
00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:44,600
out of that stretch with one loss and find yourself

326
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:46,279
in a spot or at least one big twelve loss,

327
00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:48,200
I should say, and find yourself in a spot where

328
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,600
you know you gotta got to work into a compete

329
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:53,279
for big Bold championship. Unbelieving all right, like like that

330
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,360
song and Shrek Man, I'm.

331
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:56,919
Speaker 5: A believer, hey, and that's all you gotta have. It

332
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,960
is a little belief, just a little bit of faith there.

333
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: So JD. Man, we truly do appreciate your time.

334
00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:04,559
Speaker 5: Know how busy you are, so thanks for hopping on

335
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,919

Speaker 6: Always a pleasure. I appreciate y'all. Hey, Matt, welcome Man.

Speaker 5: Think I appreciate that. JD Man all as well. We'll

342
00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:20,120

343
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 6: You'll have a great one.

344
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,639
Speaker 1: JD didn't know Man's on vacation.

345
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:30,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, what does that mean?

346
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,879
Speaker 1: Me and Matt sound alike?

347
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:33,639
Speaker 4: Not really?

348
00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:35,759
Speaker 1: Not do all white guys sound alike? Is that what

349
00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:36,679
he just said?

350
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: I mean a little discrimination?

351
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: I felt like or do you feel bad he thought

352
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:42,600
Matt was here?

353
00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:46,919
Speaker 2: Maybe he's just like that doesn't have much to say ever, So.

354
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,159
Speaker 5: Now now to be fair, to be fair, we had

355
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,519
an interview last week where it was a seventeen minute

356
00:15:55,519 --> 00:15:57,240
interview and Matt asked one question.

357
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:02,399
Speaker 1: Okay, so maybe he thought that's what was going on there.

358
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 7: I will take JD Bkel as one of those guys

359
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:07,440
that does his research, so he probably did watch that

360
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:09,759
and was like, oh, yeah, this guy's he holds his tongue.

361
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,799
So it's like one of those moments where he's like, oh,

362
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,360
good talking Matt, knowing he to say that word, you know.

363
00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:15,039
Speaker 4: Good talking.

364
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,759
Speaker 1: Oh Flynn, such a slappy I.

365
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,399
Speaker 7: Still haven't worked with him yet. That's the crazy part

366
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:23,039
I saw. I was like kind of hyped up to them.

367
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: But it would have been better if JD was like,

368
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,879
all right, j t Bob, see you later.

369
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:31,639
Speaker 5: Now he knows my boy T Bob would have got

370
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:34,320
a question let me talk that long.

371
00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:37,159
Speaker 2: I run our YouTube channel obviously, and I've been, you know,

372
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:39,559
replying to a couple of people asking where T Bob is.

373
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:43,240
This one guy goes, what's happened to T Bob? I

374
00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:45,679
listen every single day where'd he go? And I'm like,

375
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:48,639
in the nicest way possible, be like, my guy, he's

376
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:50,159
been going three weeks, so you don't.

377
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,559
Speaker 1: Listen listen every single day.

378
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:54,039
Speaker 2: It's been three weeks now.

379
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but.

382
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,559

387
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 5: I knew, I like, I knew the situation, but I

388
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,240
was like, hey, barstool, use this guy literally right, he

390

391
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:21,559
of a star there.

392
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 5: So glad to see our boy is getting his run

394

Speaker 1: Well, really, I.

424
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,799
Speaker 5: Was trying to explain this to EJ ej Man and

425
00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:12,599
my co host on off campus. He was like, Okay, well,

426
00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:15,519
like I'm from He's from Virginia. It's like I'm from Virginia,

427
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,519
like we do consider that the South. I'm like, yeah,

428
00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:20,400
I think a lot of people consider Virginia the South,

429
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,319
like maybe technically, yes, it is, you know, you know,

430
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,319
and which are talking about it? And he's like, you know,

431
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,640
and then I went to Florida State. That's the southeast.

432
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,400
He's like, you went to l s U. That's that's

433
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,000
the southeast. I'm like, I said, I don't know. He's like,

434
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,599
what do you mean. It's like, we're Louisiana. He's like, yeah, no, no, no, no,

435
00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:41,279
Louisiana South. I was like, no, no, no, like we're Louisiana.

436
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: He's like, what do you mean. It's like, well, I mean.

437
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:46,279
Speaker 4: If you know, you know, it's kind of like that,

438
00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:47,279
if you know, you know.

439
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 5: It's like the South is Alabama and Mississippi and like

440
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,759
and you still, you know, people like the Southeast. I

441
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,480
think of like Georgia and Florida, and I think of

442
00:19:56,559 --> 00:20:00,279
the Carolina's ye, both South. I was like, Louisiana's like, right,

443
00:20:00,319 --> 00:20:01,079
we're Louisiana.

444
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,559
Speaker 1: Yeah. Like I was like, look, if you don't know

445
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:05,319
what I'm saying, then we're not ever going to get there.

446
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,599
Speaker 7: But I was like kind of our own thing really though,

447
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,839
I mean, where else could you go in the world.

448
00:20:10,039 --> 00:20:12,039
Speaker 5: I just think it's so like the state from top

449
00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:15,720
to bottom. There's so many different versions of Louisiana. It's

450
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:16,559
just Louisiana.

451
00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:18,599
Speaker 7: Well, like I was saying, like where else could you

452
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,240
go in the world. You can go to the gas station,

453
00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:22,960
get you a hot plate, and get you some liquor,

454
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,319
all in the same. Like it don't got to be

455
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:27,119
It can be ten o'clock at night. You know, some

456
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,200
places the liquor still close at a certain time, so

457
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,759
you can't even go get something. You can go to

458
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:33,240
the gas station and get your plate of food, some liquor,

459
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,880
lotto tickets, whatever, like that's on Louisiana shirt.

460
00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: Just understand, Like Louisiana is a vibe, no offense. Virginia's

461
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:46,640
kind of laying yeah, oh what's cool about Virginia. About Virginia,

462
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,440
Virginia's not bad, not bad.

463
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,079
Speaker 4: I don't even know.

464
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,279
Speaker 2: It's not like Virginia Tech.

465
00:20:51,279 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 4: They're not even good anymore.

466
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 7: Like what, I couldn't tell you nothing about Virginia. I

467
00:20:55,319 --> 00:20:57,559
might say something about me though, because I don't Other

468
00:20:57,599 --> 00:20:59,799
than like the I know it's the d MB, you know,

469
00:20:59,839 --> 00:21:00,759
the mv area.

470
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:04,519
Speaker 5: But ghoft South says Louisiana, Texas, and Florida are their

471
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:05,400
own places.

472
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can agree with that.

473
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:09,799
Speaker 5: Florida's got a little bit of like Louisiana as far

474
00:21:09,839 --> 00:21:13,839
as like the panhandles different than Orlando. Orlando's different than Tampa.

475
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,519
Tampa is certainly different than the Miami area. So it's

476
00:21:17,559 --> 00:21:20,279
got a lot of, you know, different types of people

477
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,799
in the same state as well, like different cultures and

478
00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:25,759
different just things that they do within said cultures.

479
00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:28,319
Speaker 7: So I'm not even behind that about to say especially

480
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,279
Texas too though, because Texas is driving through Texas that's

481
00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:34,200
like one of the worst things you can do. It's

482
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,519
it's unbearable, unbearable, unbearable, man.

483
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:39,319
Speaker 2: Uh.

484
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 5: Tristan Abert, I just moved to Virginia last year after

485
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,480
my whole life in Louisiana.

486
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: Not a day goes by that I don't miss home.

487
00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 4: Thank you.

488
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 2: Virginia just seems like it sucks, really though, Like, what

489
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,559
what do you go do out there?

490
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,039
Speaker 4: What's what's a popping city?

491
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:56,799
Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna say beaches, Virginia Beaches. I guarantee you suck.

492
00:21:58,039 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: That's where he is from. Virginia Beach, Junia Beach.

493
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 5: Like, okay, now you look, you look at who's come

494
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,720
out of that area though, Like sports wise.

495
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 4: Michael Vick Virginia, Virginia is a great.

496
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 5: Percy Harvin, I mean Harven dogs that spot. EJ and

00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,160
Percy played AAU basketball thing together growing really, yeah.

498
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: See why did EJ And and Percy Harvin leave the

499
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,240
state to go to college? Because I couldn't wait to

500
00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:25,640
leave Virginia, guys.

501
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 5: Pretty good, pretty good argument for you. I mean EJ

502
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,440
was like an inch from coming to l s U. Really,

503
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,640
I mean, so EJ would have been the quarterback on

504
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,480
the eleven team.

505
00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:41,759
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness. I know that's funny you say that

506
00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:42,880
because I was watching them.

507
00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:46,279
Speaker 5: He was like, like, so, Jimbo got the job at

508
00:22:46,279 --> 00:22:48,200
Florida State and that's why he brought him.

509
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,319
Speaker 1: And yeah, but I mean he was a heir from

510
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,079
going to l s U.

511
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,519
Speaker 7: That would have been beautiful because go watch that, you know,

512
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:57,279
the Alabama game, the seven zero game, well seven whatever,

513
00:22:57,599 --> 00:23:00,279
the greatest game of the century. Jordan Jefferson was Yeah,

514
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,359
Jordan Jefferson was terrible and the other guy Lee was

515
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,240
got off with. So I'm like, bro, this is quarterback

516
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,240
play a decade ago. This is dude, Jefferson stunk. And

517
00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:12,680
then I think Lee threw a pick on the first

518
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,440
player or something. They benched him immediately immediately, and I

519
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,960
was like, yeah, this, this is this is hard to watch.

520
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,039
And Asian McCarron wasn't nothing special either, but he was

521
00:23:20,079 --> 00:23:22,720
just making the right place. So it was like, quarterback

522
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,680
play a decade ago is way different than.

523
00:23:24,519 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: It and look at it. What it's that right now

524
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,559
in the sec.

525
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:32,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have thriving quarterback play. All right, TATA is

526
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,960
the time now for the NFL Story of the Day Day.

527
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 3: It's time for tata's NFL Story of the Day day,

528
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,519
your daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.

529
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: We got two quick ones here, and we'll start with

530
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:50,920
the fun one, the one that doesn't make me mad.

531
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,079
Derrick Henry might be in the next Adam Sandler movie

532
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,319
if he rushes for two thousand yards. So, Derrick Henry

533
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,079
was on the Dan Patrick Show back on Tuesday, and

534
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,759
Patrick told Henry, because and Patrick and Adam Sandler are

535
00:24:04,759 --> 00:24:07,920
good friends, that he would get Derrick Henry in an

536
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,640
Adam Sandler movie if he ran for two thousand yards

537
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,839
again this season, and Just two days after that, Adam

538
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,960
Sandler made a video sending it to Derrick Henry and

539
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,519
he said, two thousand yards this year not only gets

540
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:22,240
you in a movie, but we'll have a nice dinner

541
00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:26,319
together and talk trash about Dan Patrick. So it's it's

542
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,920
kind of a little fun thing they're doing there, a

543
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,960
little extra incentive because apparently Derrick Henry was saying that

544
00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:34,119
he is a big fan of the Adam Sandler movie.

545
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,359
So Derrick Henry may be putting his acting chops to

546
00:24:38,519 --> 00:24:42,279
use if he rushes for two k again this year.

547
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,559
That's the fun one. Okay, not so fun one is

548
00:24:47,559 --> 00:24:50,960
Shamar Stewart. So Shamar Stewart, for those who don't know,

549
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:54,599
drafted out of Texas A and m all on potential

550
00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:57,720
because he did well next to nothing this year in

551
00:24:57,799 --> 00:25:02,319
college football. He has not signed his rookie contract yet.

552
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,680
He has left mandatory mini camp with the Cincinnati Bengals.

553
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,680
And it's not because the Bengals are low balling him,

554
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,480
because I originally was like, okay, they're notorious for doing this,

555
00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:14,319
but he was set to get eighteen point four million

556
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,640
base on where he was drafted.

557
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 4: That's what he was going to get.

558
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 2: But the Bengals were trying to put language in the

559
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,000
contract essentially saying that they would be allowed to avoid

560
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,400
any guaranteed money if he were to get in trouble,

561
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,880
get suspended for any reason, or be cut by the team,

562
00:25:32,279 --> 00:25:35,160
they would void any of the future guaranteed money. And

563
00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:39,319
Chamar Stewart has completely walked away from the table. And

564
00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:44,920
there is rumors now that according to the CBA, which

565
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,200
was modified recently, Stewart could actually re enter the NFL

566
00:25:49,279 --> 00:25:52,079
Draft in twenty twenty six. So if he is not

567
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,119
signed by November eleventh with any team, he could sit

568
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,319
out the remainder of the year and actually re enter

569
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:04,240
the draft in twenty six. I don't think we'll see

570
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,720
that happen. I mean, that's obviously I can't remember that

571
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,559
ever happening before. But look, I don't know how much

572
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,720
leverage Stewart has here. He wasn't super productive at A

573
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:16,759
and M. I imagine that's why they wanted to add

574
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:19,319
that clause in case he was cut. He left the

575
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,759
Senior Bowl early. If you remember, you probably remember that

576
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:25,079
you were down there are now he's left the mandatory

577
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,839
mini camp. I understand you want the contract a certain way,

578
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,400
but I don't. I think this is a bad look

579
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,799
for him. I think this is a bad look for

580
00:26:31,839 --> 00:26:35,160
the Bengals. I mean there's just a lot to unpack here.

581
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, what are we doing here? I mean we now

582
00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:46,480
have slotted money. Yeah, and he's in the draft like

583
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,920
we have. Hey, this is what this pick got last year.

584
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,640
Here's what he's going to get this year. And there's

585
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,640
certain ways we do contracts so we don't have to

586
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,200
deal with this anymore. Remember we used to have holdouts

587
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:00,880
all the time. Well in the training camp. Nobody does

588
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:06,759
that anymore. So like the Bengals, they got to stop

589
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:09,599
doing stupid stuff, Like the Bengals have to run their

590
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:15,200
organization like they have a generational star at quarterback yep,

591
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:18,920
and stop bawling on a budget like you spend the

592
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,160
money on receivers, but like Trey Hendrickson's just chilling.

593
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 2: I'm using the Chamal I'm moving on from Shamal or Stewart.

594
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,599
I'm using them money on Trey Hendrickson.

595
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:30,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think that relationships cool. I think

596
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:31,640
it's already damn it.

597
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't think he will play there again.

598
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,559
Speaker 5: So so you would get a compick if you don't

599
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:37,599
sign him, you.

600
00:27:37,559 --> 00:27:40,839
Speaker 2: Would that's my next question. Well, since I'm thinking treated

601
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,920
like the Bengals didn't have a first round pick this year,

602
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,920
just give him two next year like something like that.

603
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,279
But I mentioned Stewart could be drafted again in twenty

604
00:27:48,319 --> 00:27:51,839
twenty six, but according to the CBA, any team can

605
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,319
draft him except for the Cincinnati Bengals, so they're not

606
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,680
allowed to redraft the player, even though they wouldn't anyways

607
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,359
because that relationship would be completely for actioned. But yeah,

608
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,880
he could actually re enter. So it's November eleventh is

609
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,480
the last day to sign. If he doesn't, he could

610
00:28:09,519 --> 00:28:10,960
sit out the whole year, re enter.

611
00:28:12,079 --> 00:28:15,599
Speaker 1: The Bengals keep on being the Bengals. It's just man.

612
00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 7: So I was watching the Pat mcavie show and he

613
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,160
had Adam Adam Shefter on there talking about it, and

614
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,160
he's like, dude, it would it should take three minutes

615
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,559
to sign your rookie, Like it's that's how easy to

616
00:28:25,559 --> 00:28:28,039
see show. He set up like it's in there for

617
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,599
you to have this money already ready to go, and

618
00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:32,920
he's like they're sitting there trying to like you said

619
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,079
put this clause in there, but you didn't do that.

620
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,799
To nobody else. So it's like he doesn't want to

621
00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:40,079
be the guinea pig in the situation and set that

622
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,000
president that Okay, well I'm going to be the test

623
00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:45,720
dummy on this new whatever. So that's what Adam Scheff

624
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:46,160
was saying.

625
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,319
Speaker 2: I know he doesn't want it in his clause. I

626
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,920
get that. I don't know what you think about shim

627
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,240
Ar Stewart. To me, there's a reason the Bengals shows

628
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,519
to do it to him. I mean, just outside looking in.

629
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,480
I don't know the situation, but.

630
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 7: Bengals are being being I mean, I just I mean, yeah.

631
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,759
Chefter was like, dude, it should take three minutes.

632
00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: There's no reason, there's not there's not is slotted.

633
00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 5: Give them what everybody else got in those slots around him.

634
00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:14,640
You got to guarantee some money. Get over it, do

635
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:17,279
the deal. You have two pass rushers right now that

636
00:29:17,319 --> 00:29:19,759
are sitting at home and not at your camp, and

637
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:23,480
you just paid these receivers because you're going for it now.

638
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,920
If you're going for it now, that doesn't mean you

639
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,759
have step into it. That means you fully jump into it.

640
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:31,240

Speaker 3: Tigers turn Talkers. This is off the bench.

662
00:30:52,319 --> 00:30:54,559
Speaker 5: All right, Welcome back A and O TV here on

663
00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:58,200
a Friday morning, gonna go to the phone lines. Now,

664
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,559
we got our boy, Peebe Peter burn boots on the

665
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:02,440
ground there in Omaha, Nebraska.

666
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: Peb, what's up, sir?

667
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,079
Speaker 6: Did you just hit me with some mystical this morning?

668
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,559
Like like I'm in a good spot, like I'm a

669
00:31:09,559 --> 00:31:12,680
little hungover from last night. I'm here in mystical at

670
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,599
nine point thirty. I'm I'm ready, I'm ready to go.

671
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I mean today, Jordan, our producer, has done

672
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,440
a great job all Louisiana. Basically today everything's about Louisiana

673
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,519
and LSU. We're trying to say good vibes there to

674
00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:25,160
you in Omaha.

675
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 6: We're gonna need it. It is. It's a weird vibe

676
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,759
because we got out here. Normally, we get out here

677
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,440
first day, so we always have an SEC team to cover.

678
00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:39,319
And now like this whole side of the bracket doesn't

679
00:31:39,319 --> 00:31:41,920
have any SEC squad. It's the fewest amount of SEC

680
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,759
squads that we've had here since I think twenty sixteen,

681
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:47,799
back when coastth Carolina win. So the vibes are a

682
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:50,240
little bit different so far. But let's be honest with you,

683
00:31:51,079 --> 00:31:53,039
unless you still went in the jello shot challenge, so

684
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,039
we at least got the good vibes that are going

685
00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:55,920
on at Rockers, right.

686
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:57,519
Speaker 1: Uh yeah.

687
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 5: The surest bet I think in Omaha is that LSU

688
00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:03,519
is going to drink the most Jello shots and UCLA

689
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,759
is going to drink the least amount of yellow shots.

690
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,559
Speaker 6: I mean that was that was like this, does Flynn

691
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,519
still have the same energy on a Friday as we

692
00:32:11,559 --> 00:32:13,640
have it on Monday? Like these these are things that

693
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,680
we're all trying to figure out. Here is the show

694
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:16,640
to roll off?

695
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, peebe? How about this? Right?

696
00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:21,839
Speaker 5: So Flynn takes over for t Bob, he does seven

697
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,400
straight days. Was feeling himself after doing seven straight days

698
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,240
and then he's in uh Turks and k Ghost there

699
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:29,440
for the last three days.

700
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,039
Speaker 6: I don't blame them. I don't blame them honestly at

701
00:32:32,079 --> 00:32:34,400
that point, like that's why I do three days of

702
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,160
radio a week. I'm just like, man if I had

703
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,799
to put up a test for five straight days, probably

704
00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:41,319
need back. Like this is what's impressive is that was

705
00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:43,599
part of his contract. When I'm doing the morning show

706
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,039
with you, that Gordy and the guys who are like, yeah,

707
00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:48,119
you're right, let's go ahead. And that's that's that'll work.

708
00:32:48,319 --> 00:32:50,480
You know, so seven days on it's like the guys

709
00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:52,640
that work off shore, we're off front of Homo. It's

710
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,480
like seven days on, you know, two weeks off in person,

711
00:32:55,559 --> 00:33:01,319
ko works well, load load load advantaging. Be I appreciate that.

712
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is such a Flinn thing.

713
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 5: Like we set the line and we had we asked

714
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,839
like everybody that came on. I think it was Joe

715
00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:10,599
Sloan that that came over, like, hey, what's what's Flynn's

716
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:12,200
the line? Like, if you're a Vegas setting the line

717
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,400
for every week, how many days he's going to make it?

718
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,279
Speaker 1: He set it it three and a half. And that

719
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:17,599
feels like the perfect number.

720
00:33:18,519 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean three enough hook is a good number.

721
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,319
I don't you know. I feel like at that point though,

722
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,039
like he can't put money on it because then he

723
00:33:26,079 --> 00:33:28,920
would go to him actually place the money on four,

724
00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:31,519
like the over, just because the odds are in his

725
00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:34,880
favorite he'd be there. But man, it's it's fun. This

726
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,039
is this is my favorite week. I we we broke

727
00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:40,000
it down with Todd Walker yesterday. David ULITCHI will be

728
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,400
out here Tomorrow's batteries. The counselman that's right. You know

729
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,240
we'll be out here breaking it down. But I mean,

730
00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:48,920
right for this jump man Lsu Arkansas good versus good.

731
00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:52,119
I had d Van Horn on yesterday, and I tell

732
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,960
you what, like, I definitely one thousand percent pool for Lsu.

733
00:33:56,119 --> 00:33:59,440
But if Arkansas wins his whole thing, it ain't gonna

734
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,759
kill me because to his day Van Horne man like

735
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,279
that guy.

736
00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard that a lot last week.

737
00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, like he told a story about how

738
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,639
he was he was trying to get Todd Walker to

739
00:34:12,079 --> 00:34:15,480
commit when he was a Texarkana juco coach and he's like, man,

740
00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:16,920
I was trying. I was trying to I was like

741
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,840
I had Todd Walker locked in, Like Todd Walker's coming

742
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,320
to text Arcana Baby, It's gonna be great. And then

743
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,400
skip Bertman's like you want to come, Melishee, and Todd's like, yeah, yeah,

744
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:27,800
it worked out well.

745
00:34:28,039 --> 00:34:31,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, worn't that well for Todd. Todd. Todd did okay

746
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,599
for himself there.

747
00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 5: And you know, there's only two SEC teams and so

748
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,840
it is different than past years and they're playing each other.

749
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:44,239
But but it is going to be a heavyweight pay

750
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:49,239
per view. Mike Tyson in nineteen eighty seven title bout

751
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,679
like it is going to be like two of the

752
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:54,559
best fan bases, I think, the two best fan bases

753
00:34:54,599 --> 00:34:58,840
in college baseball in Omaha rooting against each other. So

754
00:34:59,039 --> 00:35:01,320
it might only be too teams pbe they might be

755
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,760
playing each other. But whatever the peak of an opening

756
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,440
round game in Omaha can be, that's what you're going

757
00:35:07,519 --> 00:35:08,320
to see tomorrow night.

758
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, Saturday night, right. I mean, the weather's supposed to

759
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,679
be great. I mean LSU fans have already shown up

760
00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:16,559
here in throws. I've seen a lot of razorback fans

761
00:35:16,559 --> 00:35:21,559
as well too. And the importance ester of winning game one. Right.

762
00:35:21,559 --> 00:35:24,679
Out of the last forty three champions, thirty nine of

763
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,480
them won their game one. And actually every time the

764
00:35:27,679 --> 00:35:30,039
LSU's won it all seven times if they won a title,

765
00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:33,840
they won their first game. So the importance of you

766
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,519
know Cade versus you know zach Rude is incredible. Now

767
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,079
you know me and you know me and me and Todverert.

768
00:35:41,079 --> 00:35:42,800
The last night we're talking about, you know, the lineup

769
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,280
and how Jay's been changed up the lineup, which you

770
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,840
know again he said, Hey, these guys aren't major leaguers.

771
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,960
They don't they aren't just set to one place in

772
00:35:50,039 --> 00:35:52,800
the lineup. We can move them around depending on how

773
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,840
we do it. But we started getting like listening they'd

774
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,039
be like nine drinks. Then last night we're like, wait

775
00:35:58,079 --> 00:36:00,480
a minute. If you're looking at the entire bracket and

776
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:03,760
you assume U c l A odd jar that they'll

777
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,000
they'll take out Murray State tomorrow like they beat him,

778
00:36:09,159 --> 00:36:10,880
and U c l A has a ton of lefties,

779
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:15,159
and so do you saved kid and throw him in

780
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,079
the second one and then you throw ianson to absolutely

781
00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:23,639
crushed Arkansas lineup that last time. And Todd looks at

782
00:36:23,679 --> 00:36:25,159
me and he goes, yeah, we need to stop drinking.

783
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,639
So yeah, that might be a bridge too far.

784
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 5: Uh So we had we had Mikey Matak here for

785
00:36:32,519 --> 00:36:34,440
an hour with us today PB and we were talking

786
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,199
about some of the you know, different scenarios and different

787
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,920
things and kind of the same conversation. He's just like, look,

788
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,000
you don't ever think this deal. It's omahall, it's game one.

789
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,320
You go out there and you just get it done.

790
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,880
But like, honestly, no matter how like LSU format, if

791
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,480
it was Ironson today and they had Anderson or Anderson

792
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,280
and then Ironson Nobody is set up in this tournament.

793
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,800
This isn't just purple and gold glasses between you and I.

794
00:36:58,199 --> 00:37:00,719
Nobody in this tournament is set up better for a

795
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,079
game two on the mound than LSU, regardless if it's

796
00:37:03,079 --> 00:37:05,239
in the winner's bracket or losers bracket.

797
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:07,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, because there's a one A, one B. Yeah right,

798
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,239
I mean this is not you know, in twenty three,

799
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,639
it was Schemes was your guy, and then you threw

800
00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:16,039
everybody at else and to good starters as well, and

801
00:37:16,119 --> 00:37:18,880
a good bullpen, but it was more of you had

802
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,119
your one workhorse.

803
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

804
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,159
Speaker 6: Now it's like, all right, well you got that. And

805
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:25,480
then the way that Evans pitched and he shoved last

806
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,480
time with a nine straight strikeout, I mean you're like,

807
00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:29,440
all right, well we've got that set up as well.

808
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,119
I'll be honest with you. Cooper Williams, the freshman, Yeah,

809
00:37:34,199 --> 00:37:36,360
I mean him doing that and that was such a

810
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:41,159
high leverage spot. I couldn't believe how well he pitched

811
00:37:41,159 --> 00:37:43,239
because I got worried of that game. It's four two

812
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,519
the vibes, which is dead in the box. And when

813
00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:49,880
he got you, when he came out there just painting

814
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,239
the play, I mean he was just putting. He was

815
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,880
spotting at everything he wanted to. That got the crowd

816
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,519
back into it, and then LSU got bats, got into it,

817
00:37:57,559 --> 00:37:58,840
and then they were off for the races.

818
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 5: What's the weather like there in omahall PBu, It's terrible

819
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,400
here in Baton Rouge. And we know if we had

820
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,840
a region or super regional that this thing wouldn't get

821
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,519
started until probably ten pm.

822
00:38:10,559 --> 00:38:12,079
Speaker 1: What's the weather like there in Omaha?

823
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 6: I mean hot and alcoholics as a basically because LSU

824
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,559
was in town. Actually, what's funny is they were telling

825
00:38:20,599 --> 00:38:23,320
me that they had been really crappy weather all year long.

826
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,880
It had been like, I mean, just nasty, rainy, and

827
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,559
this was the first sunny week that they've had. And

828
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,639
this thing, man, and I think you've done it before.

829
00:38:33,079 --> 00:38:36,320
And you know, so many of the people listening have

830
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,679
made the trek up here. If you haven't, it's as

831
00:38:40,679 --> 00:38:43,159
good of a bucket list item because it's probably the

832
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,880
last really really pure sporting event that I think that's

833
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,440
out there. You know. Okayc is good for women's College

834
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,519
Wow series as well too, but man, this event. This

835
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,920
ballpark's downtown, The bars are downtown, the restaurants are great.

836
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,559
Everybody's been a good food and and in Nebraska basically

837
00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:03,400
at Omaha has adopted LSU because it's the success over

838
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,360
the last four decades.

839
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were talking about that all throughout the week.

840
00:39:08,519 --> 00:39:10,840
It's not like college football. It's not like the Final

841
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,719
Four where it rotates. And I get, you know why

842
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,079
it does that. I understand the dollars and cents of it.

843
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:20,519
But to have one spot, and you mentioned Oklahoma City

844
00:39:20,599 --> 00:39:23,320
and softball and baseball, it's Omaha. To have like that

845
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,880
one spot that you know, this is what we're working towards.

846
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,719
We're working towards Omaha, and you can envision it. You

847
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,119
can see yourself in that stadium. We just we don't

848
00:39:32,119 --> 00:39:34,920
have anything like that. And it does remind me. I

849
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,400
was saying this earlier, like about like high school football

850
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,880
in Louisiana, it was all about getting to the Superdome,

851
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,000
get to the Superdome. You broke it down on super Dome,

852
00:39:43,559 --> 00:39:46,199
you know, in July, and that's kind of what Omaha has,

853
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,599
and we just don't have that anymore. So it's just

854
00:39:48,639 --> 00:39:51,760
a completely different feel. Like you and I have covered games,

855
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,239
like I covered a National championship game between Georgia and

856
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,280
TCU and La not a swinging soul knew we were

857
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,920
there to cover that game. When you drive up or

858
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,800
pull up to Omaha, you know exactly why you're there.

859
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm getting my rental car, you know, here at

860
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,320
the airport and they're like, who's your team? And I asked,

861
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,239
I asked the guy who's the team. He's like, man,

862
00:40:12,559 --> 00:40:15,239
LSU And I like, okay, Like, are you from there?

863
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,639
He goes, Nope, he goes, I just I just love

864
00:40:17,679 --> 00:40:20,360
it because like everybody has made this like a destination.

865
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,719
He's like, every time I get here, he goes, I

866
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,719
love fans like, He's like, we see all different dans, famis.

867
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,119
He's like, I don't like Texas fan base. He's like

868
00:40:29,119 --> 00:40:31,519
they're not cool. He's like Pack twelve scenes like they

869
00:40:31,519 --> 00:40:33,360
were never really kind of cool to us. He's like,

870
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:36,000
LSU fans like aston as they show up, you know

871
00:40:36,039 --> 00:40:39,840
who they are, and they're like the nicest people. And

872
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,719
I'm like, well, you haven't been to a Tiger. You

873
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,719
never been to a seat of that death valley where

874
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,480
in the other tweek's color set. But uh, it's it's

875
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,599
gonna be good man And again we were breaking down

876
00:40:50,599 --> 00:40:53,800
all kit called yesterday and their fans have been great too.

877
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,320
In that lineup, is I mean they did all that

878
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,960
work in regionals in super regions A Lloyd or Lloyd

879
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,559
Brothers didn't even play well, right, Like that's the scary

880
00:41:03,639 --> 00:41:05,639
part right now. This Davalon kid at the top of

881
00:41:05,679 --> 00:41:08,199
the lineup is, I mean, this kid is unbelievable.

882
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:15,119
Speaker 5: Predictions on maybe how it goes, you can, like, you

883
00:41:15,159 --> 00:41:16,840
can give them an LSU Arkansas. I know you like

884
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,440
working for the network, So if you want to leave

885
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,639
that one off, that's fine, But like maybe day one

886
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,519
between all the games. Coastal, Arizona, Oregon State, Louisville, you

887
00:41:24,599 --> 00:41:26,760
see LA Murray State, how do you see that plan out?

888
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: PB?

889
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:33,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I like, I like Coastal. It's not

890
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,239
just the twenty three twenty four game win streak. It

891
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,880
just they do everything really well and it doesn't and

892
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,079
the like and just watching them and practice yesterday, I mean,

893
00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:44,159
like there's certain people you can tell that like they're

894
00:41:44,199 --> 00:41:46,920
taking it in like Wow, this is awesome. Like Coastal

895
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
work like a team that's like, yeah, this is game

896
00:41:49,199 --> 00:41:52,280
seventy five of a one hundred and sixty two game series.

897
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,400
You know, like just the way that they've carried themselves.

898
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,960
I like, I like Coastal on that side of the

899
00:41:57,039 --> 00:42:00,400
bracket and on and honestly, and I know it's going

900
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,760
to be a cop out that I was like, I

901
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,599
like Coastal versus the winner of Saturday Night from LSU

902
00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:07,440
in Arkansas. I mean, it's that simple because you get

903
00:42:07,519 --> 00:42:11,480
such a leg up if you when you win that

904
00:42:11,519 --> 00:42:15,760
first game in Omaha. And you know this is basically

905
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,119
like the Spider Man meme of Arkansas at LSU pointing

906
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:20,880
at each other right now, now.

907
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: I agree with you wholeheartedly.

908
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 5: There, man, it is going to be again just must

909
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,400
watch TV, just a heavyweight title.

910
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:27,519
Speaker 1: But I can't wait to watch it.

911
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 5: Pebe on the way out, like Derek Dooley used to

912
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,000
tell us, they will brew more beer in Omaha.

913
00:42:33,199 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: You don't have to consume it all in one night.

914
00:42:36,559 --> 00:42:39,119
Speaker 6: We're gonna try and listen. I think would have been

915
00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:40,800
in good shape. Have we just stuck the beer. We'll

916
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,639
just put it that way, we just stuck the beer,

917
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,400
would be in good shape. Now I'll rally for our

918
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,880
show at ten pm tonight, so I'll be I'll be.

919
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Phebe, you're the man, we appreciate you joining us.

920
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 5: Man enjoy the trip, and if LSU makes it to

921
00:42:55,039 --> 00:42:57,880
the Championship Series, Sir, I will try to find my

922
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,920
way to be there with you.

923
00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:03,559
Speaker 6: Uh, we'll find, we'll find, we'll find that Splints private

924
00:43:03,639 --> 00:43:05,599
jet and will make sure we do the show up there.

925
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not too far off what I'm thinking.

926
00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 6: So we'll splin some of that Seattle Seahawks Trust Fund month.

927
00:43:11,679 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 5: I'm all right, p be appreciate it good, all right,

928
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,880
Peter Burns boots on the ground sec nowhere. Colleague gets

00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:25,360
serious XM enjoying Omaha as Peter Burns always does. All right,

930
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,599
we will take our last break up the week, finish

931
00:43:28,599 --> 00:43:30,599
it up like we always do. Getting to your ask

932
00:43:30,679 --> 00:43:33,719
the mench questions right here on one O four five ESPN.

933
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,639
Speaker 1: Bett Roose top the bench.

00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 5: So we got bad weather here right now right, I

935
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,559
mean just dark skies rain, So we got some bad

936
00:43:44,599 --> 00:43:45,280
weather coming.

937
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,079
Speaker 1: Can you imagine?

938
00:43:47,679 --> 00:43:49,559
Speaker 5: Can you imagine if you were getting ready to watch

939
00:43:49,639 --> 00:43:53,840
the game tomorrow night your power goes out and you

940
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,639
haven't had Boudro's Electrical over to install that whole home generator,

941
00:43:59,039 --> 00:44:01,519
Because if you have had them out, you got peace

942
00:44:01,559 --> 00:44:04,320
of mind, You've got no worries. It's gonna happen and

943
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:09,000
then boom, you're gonna hear that quiet little m and

944
00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:10,960
it's the best sound in the world because you know,

945
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,239
oh man, my whole home generator has kicked on.

946
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: Games on.

947
00:44:14,079 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 5: We're good, got lights, air conditioner, the snacks are good,

948
00:44:18,559 --> 00:44:21,960
the beer is good. But if you don't, you're gonna

949
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,239
be lonely on the dance floor because you're not gonna

950
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,079
have power and you're not gonna have a game. So

951
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,400
have that peace of mind with Boodrous more power, more protection.

952
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,840
Boudros Electrical dot Com.

956
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 3: From players to legends, Hester and Flynn breakdown L s

957
00:44:47,079 --> 00:44:52,960
U Football like only champions can.

958
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 5: I do find it hilarious that JD. Piquel Thalt Flynn

959
00:44:58,840 --> 00:44:59,519
was here the whole time.

960
00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: Still you can't.

961
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 7: You just gotta give him the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes,

962
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,920
you know, you gotta hit him with the thanks for talking, Matt,

963
00:45:10,039 --> 00:45:11,920
you know, thanks for chiming.

964
00:45:12,119 --> 00:45:14,039
Speaker 5: Like he's an Ivy leaguer. He's smarter than all of us,

965
00:45:14,039 --> 00:45:17,760
so maybe he just outplayed us all. Uh, ask the bench,

966
00:45:18,679 --> 00:45:21,679
did we spend enough time enjoying Tennessee going down?

967
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:22,679
Speaker 4: Yes?

968
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,159
Speaker 2: I don't really think about Tennessee that much. Like, yeah,

969
00:45:26,519 --> 00:45:27,639
I'd spend enough time.

970
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: Best airline snack food. Oh those little cookies on cookies.

971
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,880
Those things and coffee are easily they are elite.

972
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,519
Speaker 5: Uh. Long road trip, first stop to get gas? What's

973
00:45:41,559 --> 00:45:44,400
the go to snack and drink? I'm gonna go coffee

974
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,559
for sure. With the drink maybe energy drink, depending on

975
00:45:48,599 --> 00:45:52,679
what it's like snack. That thing changes versatile with my

976
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,519
snacks and a beef jerkey and go candy.

977
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: You know a lot of different trail mix. Some flower

978
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:58,800
seeds always good.

979
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 4: Doctor pepper King says Nicker.

980
00:46:01,559 --> 00:46:04,679
Speaker 5: You have the worst eating habits, ask the bench. Have

981
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,079
you seen the new Mission Impossible movie? No? But I

982
00:46:07,159 --> 00:46:10,639
really really really want to. I just I got you know,

983
00:46:10,639 --> 00:46:12,199
I got five kids. It's not easy to get to

984
00:46:12,199 --> 00:46:15,320
the movie theater. Favorite city to visit more than once.

985
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,719
That would be San Diego, California. My favorite city outside

986
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:20,400
of Louisiana.

987
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:21,280
