Speaker 1: It's the most wonderful time of the year and off
the benches here to bring you some holidays year presented
by All Star Toyota, join us for a cozy chat
about sports, laughter and the spirit of Christmas Alive from
the Mercedes Bends of Batton Bruge Studio. Here's Jacob Hester
and t bab a Bear Stars.
Speaker 2: Next day.
Speaker 1: It smash.
Speaker 3: Joe was having the bag to o t b Our
number two. Now I got my Queen shirt on. You
know they left us, still got love with the Queen
Bend shut out. Good times there. It's got another great
hour plan for you today. Still a lot to get to.
A bit of an NFL we can recap as I
got basketball to get to, about what Elchu's roster is
gonna look like. Travis Hunter on the Heisman. But let's
let's let's put a bow on our portal edition conversation.
A couple of players that we didn't get to yet.
One guy who look when you talk about the biggest
loss and this is a major red flag for next
year's team in my opinion, Jake, when you look at
where you are losing your most snaps, your most production,
and your most talent it is both on the offensive
and defensive edge, you know, and that's not good.
Speaker 4: That is not good.
Speaker 3: But I mean you're losing what Campbell Demory Jones offensively,
so both of your starting tackles who played every snap,
and defensively, you're you're losing saving Jones and Braden Swinton
who played the vastas as vast majority of snaps. In fact,
I think Releford is at one o nine and Will
Mack was at one hundred. The rest was all Swinton
and and and and saving Jones. So you need help there,
and you bring in Nebraska edge rusher Jamari Butler.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 3: There's not like overwhelming stamps to make you very excited here,
but he's experienced, Like, like, what do you think kind
of is this a depth piece of rotational piece?
Speaker 5: What do you what do you think Butler's role is here?
Speaker 6: Well, look, you gotta find some able bodies and you
have to find some players that have been out there
and played in in major big time football, certainly playing
in the Big ten, because like you said, I mean,
you're losing not only your top two guys, you lose
your third guy, Deshaun Willmack and obviously he kind of
fell out of favor there at the end and kind
of fell even farther down the depth chart. But that's
somebody you lost as well. So you got to start adding,
you know, players now you hope they can be impactful again.
This is somebody that's played in the Big Ten and
you know, had some success. It's not overwhelming success, but
he's somebody that has been a player at Nebraska. Now
you've got to continue to add bodies. We were talking
about guys like you know Ben Bell from Texas State
and like what they could add.
Speaker 4: Did he end up signing somewhere. No, he's still he's
still out there.
Speaker 6: He's still looking as crazy as ever the picture I'm
looking at currently right now as well, so because look
things are starting to not not only heat up, guys
are making decisions. And you've got you know, Eric Singleton
Junior from Georgia Tech. I think you were like in
like one of his potential visits at the receiver position.
He's the top rated guy. But you know Micah Hudson,
who was the former five star goes from Texas Tech
to Texas A and m You've got other players that
have been in the portal that are really starting to
make their decision. Max Clayer, who is a tight end
from Purdue. He's going to Louisville apparently. So it's that time.
It is that time where you want to try to
start to add these players because now is the time
they're making their decision. They're not waiting for the large
majority of these players. Scaria Davis is in the portal
from Arizona as well.
Speaker 4: That is somebody I don't I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know that if LSU's even like remotely in there,
But that's a player he's only All Metad team preseason, like,
he plays corner a different way. So there's really good
players that are Day one impactful players in there. But again,
they're starting to make their decisions. So whatever push you have,
it has to happen right now for like the top
tier guys.
Speaker 5: And then one of the more interesting additions.
Speaker 3: Maybe following in the in the footsteps of like an
aj Swan, which, by the way, is aj Swan out
of this is last year? Right, Yeah, he has to
probably Richard whatever. But Mississippi State freshman quarterback who started
for State much of the year after the Blake shape
and injury.
Speaker 5: Michael van Buren joining the roster.
Speaker 3: A bit of a rough weekend for a State, or
rough week i'd say for State at quarterback. As look,
Jeff Leby really wanted to reunite with Jackson Arld in
fact on three and others are basically reporting that it.
Speaker 5: Was a done deal.
Speaker 3: He was in a Bulldog uniform. Basically he felt like,
I don't know that. Yeah, I think I like report
it as having been like done basically. H And you know,
I don't know if if Van Buren was always going
to transfer or if that was what spurred him to,
but obviously like he felt that, Okay, well yeah, y'all,
y'all are looking elsewhere.
Speaker 5: I'm going to look elsewhere as well.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: Jackson Ardoald ends up getting snagged by Auburn and Hugh Freese.
I mean, he misstates kind of without a quarterback right now.
But let's look at it from the LSU perspective, Uh,
what what is this? This is a long term play.
I mean, obviously you're adding depth, experienced freshman depth. Hit
a very good game Againt Georgia, Like you said, three
in the yards, three touchdowns. Its kind of high water
mark of the season for him.
Speaker 4: Rough year overall.
Speaker 6: There, well for any Boltog it was I meane they
didn't win a conference game, got house Bot Toledo in
their own stadium. But I mean this is a player
that certainly showed flashes, like you mentioned what he did
against Georgia, and it's you know, it's kind of getting
back to a goal threat quarterback.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think I think, Look, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think when it comes to back van Buren, the
way to handle is just kind of let go of
any expectations, right, I mean Ricky Collins Chinchli, you took
out Colin Hurley somewhere in that mix as well.
Speaker 4: Also in quarterbacks in high school recruiting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so this is a guy that is a freshman,
so a young guy, yes, that has played what seven
starts in the SEC?
Speaker 4: Is that what it is? Seven or eight something around here?
So you didn't sign this is you.
Speaker 6: This is your quarterback that you signed in classes as
a good point, a very young player that still has
three years of eligibility.
Speaker 4: And he knows he's kind of coming. He knows.
Speaker 6: And I saw some reporting, oh he'll compete. I don't
see a competition. No, it's scared enough MYS team, and
so he'll come in, he understands what the deal is,
and he'll sit and then he'll have every opportunity to
win the job to be your guy. And so it's
a great guy to add to your roster that has
that kind of experience when you didn't sign somebody out
of high school.
Speaker 5: Has Nick Anderson committed anywhere yet from Oklahoma?
Speaker 6: Uh No, not at last I checked, which was coming
into the segment.
Speaker 4: He is not. I'm trying to think.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 6: Nick Anderson is the tenth rated player currently in the
portal on three has thirty eight point one percent chance
to A and M and a thirty three point three
percent chance to LSU. Those are the top teams that
he's kind of crystal ball to.
Speaker 5: Come on, brother, you don't even go play receiver for
Mike Elko offense.
Speaker 4: Come on now, Come on now, Nick, what are you
gonna just go like to Oklahoma? Oklahoma?
Speaker 5: That's just the same thing you just dealt with this year.
Speaker 4: Come on now, all right, So there it is. Those
are port editions thus far.
Speaker 3: God, Dylan Cinnamon that we said, I just feel like
I'm saying Cinnamon with a list.
Speaker 7: You do.
Speaker 4: He committed to Origin.
Speaker 3: Oh that's interesting because it wasn't.
Speaker 5: Notre Dame thought to be the leader there in state.
Speaker 3: Obviously, but uh hey, Philly, Philly Knight when landing, When
Daddy Dan and Phil Knight come calling right now, it
is hard to say no because they're coming with you know,
they're coming with a good brand, They're coming with a
young coach. They're come with just more money, and they're
coming with now results, right, skins on the wall. He
doesn't have to sell be a part of the rebuild.
He sells hey, be a part of a championship team.
Speaker 5: I mean, does Oregon feel like the favorite entering this playoff?
Speaker 6: They'd have to be the favorite. I mean, they have
to be the chalk. They're the only team that did
not lose a game. I don't know if if we
were doing it here, if we were doing it there,
if we were doing it anywhere, I don't know what
show I said this all.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Think like chances to win the COSGE Football Playoff, For me,
it goes Oregon.
Speaker 4: Texas, Notre Dame, or maybe even Oregon Notre Dame Texas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean Texas is tough for me just
because both their tests against Georgia. They they they failed.
Speaker 4: But that is their kryptonite.
Speaker 6: That is the one team like matchup wise, and Georgia
doesn't match up like that with everybody else, but they
do with Texas. So if they don't end up playing Georgia,
I'd certainly think that benefits them. And look, there was
portions of that game they dominated. They just couldn't take
advantage of their opportunities. I think if we're talking about
teams that are being slept on right now, it is
Notre Dame.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, No, no, I I agree.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 3: I think they got a very tough Round one matchup
with Indiana, but they definitely have maybe the best defense
in the entire day.
Speaker 6: I guess Texas got to be they got They are
one of the most underrated players in Jeremiah Love. Yeah,
Riley Leonard is he's limited, but what he does well,
he does extremely well.
Speaker 4: They control the game with Ryan Leonard very much.
Speaker 6: So he is the it's third and sixth, We've got
everything bottled up. He's gonna run for eight. Guy that
just pisses you off. Just frustrating. So yeah, if if
I had to pick, like the odds on favorite, yeah,
it's got to be organ because they're unfeated only undefeated team,
even though their path is pretty interesting if they do
end up playing some of the teams that if chalk
does happen, they're past not as easy as maybe some
of the other teams.
Speaker 8: So on DraftKings, Oregon and Texas are both plus three sixties,
so they're both favorites, like equally.
Speaker 4: What are my Indiana odds?
Speaker 9: Indiana's plus four thousand.
Speaker 4: It is money.
Speaker 9: Arizona State plus fifty five hundred.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll the twenty five on scataboo. What about Clemson?
Speaker 9: Clemson is plus fifty five hundred two?
Speaker 4: Are those the lowest noise?
Speaker 9: State plus sixty five hundred.
Speaker 6: So Oregon the team with the first round five is
I mean they play one less game.
Speaker 4: It is crazy.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the state is plus four hundred and seventy five.
Georgia plus five hundred, Penn State plus six hundred, Notre
Dame plus seven fifty.
Speaker 4: I'm just a bit.
Speaker 3: Surprised Penn States plus six hundred with their path, right
because they would seemingly maybe have the best draw of
the bunch, and I thought it would play in a
more of an odds standpoint and maybe bump them up
a bit more to where they could end up.
Speaker 4: Uh, it's interesting.
Speaker 6: All right, hey real quick, yeah, before we go to break,
because I'll forget Braylan Moore, an offensive lineman, interior offensive
lineman from Virginia Tech, is crystal ball.
Speaker 4: To l s U. Perfect center for him.
Speaker 6: Right, He's played both He's played center. I think he's
played some guard as well. He is crystal ball to
l s U. And that is a player that was
a three star out of high school, but it's a
high ranking four star in the portal.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 3: See, that's kind of don We're getting that, and like
sometimes the portal's desirable because you have a better idea
of how that player is as a college football player
and how he translates. All right, when we get back,
I want to talk Heisman, and I want to talk
about this LSU roster and what it looks like going
in this bowl game.
Speaker 4: So keep it locked here on off the bench.
Speaker 7: Off the bench, it's the most wonderful time.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the best morning sports show around sort of.
It's off the bench with Hester and Tabop.
Speaker 3: We are now in the DraftKings large shirt, which doesn't
look bad on screen.
Speaker 9: That's what I'm saying terrible.
Speaker 3: In real life it is very tight, but like on screen,
sitting up poster.
Speaker 4: It looks kind of like I'm doing my best big
fave over here. Dude, t Bop is not exhaled in
five minutes. Check the tag can't It's too tight. You
can't even get your finger in there. Much mellows out
in the snow.
Speaker 3: I didn't even mean it that way. That's that y'all
sick of me? Okay, I did not, I swear to you,
I did not.
Speaker 4: Even think about that.
Speaker 3: Look at y'all infect I've infected you exactly. You've heard
of the woke mind virus. What about the degenerate, crude,
juvenile sexual humor mind virus, because that's what I've given you, yep,
juvenile mind aid.
Speaker 5: I was getting interesting when you start felt tipping?
Speaker 4: What do you felt tipping over there? I don't know yet. Okay,
some's bruin.
Speaker 3: Either, it's a gambling it's an angle. Some's broun uh.
Speaking of, the Heisman was awarded over the weekend and
Travis Hunter won the Heisman.
Speaker 4: I'd not watched the show.
Speaker 3: I just watched, like the speech and the immediate reaction,
very wholesome moment with him in Prime as you know
Hunter just uh, I mean, he starts crying in Prime's arm.
He keeps going back to this theme of like, man,
you know you just you changed my life. You changed
my life, and it is it is kind of insane
to think about, right. Remember he was going to Florida State,
right yep. And then Coach Prime convinces him to go
to Jackson State, an unprecedented move, number one player in
the country going to that and for them both believing
in each other, for that to end with Colorado being
as good as they were this year and Travis Hunting
went in a heisman. It's a very wholesome story. Like,
it's a very happy story. And for what it's worth,
I thought, I mean, he was my clear favorite, Jake.
Speaker 4: So can you now tell us who you voted for?
I can. I can't tell. You have to wait till
after the ceremony.
Speaker 6: So on my ballot, the way it works, you you
don't vote just like for one player.
Speaker 4: You don't just say, hey, this is the player I
vote for you. It's a system, all right.
Speaker 6: So you go one through three, so you have three
votes and it's a points system, and you know that's
why I saw it be as close as it was
between gen C and Travis Hunter. So I went first,
I went Ashton genty, second, I went Travis Hunter, and
then third I went Camp's Kataboo. Oh that was that
was my vote, and Cam almost got to New York.
Speaker 3: I mean he was right there on the heels of
Dylan Gabriel. So you can just see the results or no,
do we know that now?
Speaker 4: We know that?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Ok?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so he was fifth. Bryson Daily from
Army was six. But yeah, so I went gent Hunter
Scataboo on my ballot, And look, it was the hardest
in my three years of doing it.
Speaker 4: It's the hardest that I had.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm sitting there at the SEC Championship game
and I've got my computer out and I got it
all pulled up, and like during halftime, I like watching
tape and I'm like jotting down notes and it was
back and forth, like at at one time I had
Travis Hunter one, I had gent two, and I kept
going back to a couple of things. And what Travis Hunters,
what he's done is is incredible he's going to be
a long time pro. Now, I do think that there's
other players that have played in college football that could
have done something somewhat similar if they were asked to
do it. I think Patrick Peterson could have done something
very similar. I mean, he even played offense for the
Cardinals for a little bit young in his career. But still,
I don't want to take away from what Travis Hunter
has done. But for me, it came down to everybody
knew who Ashton gent was coming into the season, no.
Speaker 4: Matter who he played.
Speaker 6: Everybody in the stadium, on both sidelines on the field
knew that Ashton Genty was getting the football, and he
still almost broke a record that I thought would never
be broken with Barry Sanders. He was going against boxes
that no other running back in the country has gone against.
He also was in four minute offense basically the entire game.
And what fore minute offense is is like I'm saying,
everybody knows that you want to run the football and
you got to try to go get it done, you
got to get two first downs. Well, he was going
against that basically every time they lined up. I don't
want to take away from the quarterback receiver combinations at
Boise State. But that's what it was. And he did
it against the number one team in the country. He
did it against every team that they played. He carried
his team, a group of five team to not only
the playoff, but they got to buy into the quarterfinals.
And so like it was splitting hairs, it was back
and forth. But I'm sitting in I'm literally watching video
on PFF during halftime of the SEC Chamions game, and
it's like, look, there's nine people with their toes at
seven yards or less, like more times than not against
this guy, and he's still He's making the first guy mess,
he's running over the second guy, and he's finishing on
the third level.
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm going to vote this guy number
one on my Heisman ballot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I let out my case for a
Hunter on Friday. I think he's singular awesome. I don't
really have like I wouldn't have cared. It's like the
Alabama SMU debate, right, there's arguments made for both, So
I don't have a lot of.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have cared either way.
Speaker 3: But I do think it's fascinating Hunter's Jersey journey to
that Heisman and now walking away with it. So huge,
massive congratulations to Travis Hunter joining the Heisman family and
a season that.
Speaker 4: You know that who knows.
Speaker 3: Maybe this, you know because interest Jake, this idea of like,
could more guys do this? Maybe this fades away or
maybe not. Time will tell just how singular Travis Hunter
really was this season.
Speaker 6: Let me ask you this. Let me and I asked
DJ this way over the weekend. Is there right now
in college football? Is there five guys, five players that
if their coach said I need you to play both ways?
Speaker 4: I need you to do it? Do you think they
could do it at a high level? I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean, and again, I'm not taking it because he
did both at an incredibly high level. I'm just asking
like more like guys that did both in high school,
Guys that are athletic enough. Do you think because no
coach is asking their players to do this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's I I'm gonna say I don't
think so. Uh, but just I don't like, really the
only thing that I would have to back that up again,
I'm just very fun. The other day catching up with
my former teammate former Falcon Jalen Collins not his Raw Room.
Speaker 4: YouTube channel twos.
Speaker 3: If three and sel subscribes are great, you should check
it out if you want listen to some good stuff.
Speaker 4: And uh, and.
Speaker 3: I asked Jail on that because Jail was a premier
athlete right freshman All American, even though he only was
at Elsie for three years. He came out and was
gonna be a first round pick if you hadn't failed
the drug testing the run up to it ends up
being a second round pick. Premier athlete, and he said
there was no way in hell that he could have done.
He thinks he was like, I could have played receiver
in college, but I couldn't have played both. He didn't
need you could have played both. So I don't know.
I don't know, but if if there are guys out there,
this will be interesting to see if more guys should
to folk think about Travis is that we've talked about
this in the past.
Speaker 10: Kick.
Speaker 3: He just loves football, and you got to really love
football to want to put your body through that and
to train to be able to play the one hundred
and twenty one hundred and fifteen plays a game like
all he does is work out, play football, play video
games podcast right like that. It's like that's like his
entire doesn't here, don't drink and smoke, Like I don't think.
Speaker 4: If you're out there party, I don't know if you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Be able to do this this both ways things. So
we'll see, we'll see. Maybe the SAME's the president, Taylor.
I know you went a way in here. I can
see you antsy what you got.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I didn't. I didn't watch the ceremony.
Speaker 3: Oh at what out of protest was there so upset
that Travis Hunter is gonna win the Heisman. I'll say
this check. One thing I like about the Heisman the
last couple of years is not being so beholden to
who's the best team and then like who's the best
player on the best team, Like between Jane winning with
three losses, this winning three loss like these are actually
are like you know, players who are transcending their teams.
Speaker 4: And I don't hate like I liked the awards honoring that.
Speaker 6: Someone inside the Bay for Chad Says, asked the question
the other way too, is or five other backs in
the nation that could put up Gent's numbers in the
Mountain West have given three hundred, I.
Speaker 4: Would also say no.
Speaker 6: So I mean that's like, yeah, I mean it's a
fair question to ask. I'm just saying I watched a
lot of tape on five guys, on five guys that
I had that I was considering for Heisman, the three
I voted for. Bryson Daily was another, and then you know,
cam Ward was was another. I had seen Dylan Gabriel
in person as well, But what Genty did It's not
as easy to say that. No, you just throw another
back in there and he gets it done. There's a
reason why I asking Gent right now, is going to
be the first running back off the board.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh, there's a reason why.
Speaker 6: You talk to NFL scouts and we catch up with
Jim Nagy every single week on off campus and he's like,
he compares him to Ladanian Tomlinson like, so he's rarefied air.
Speaker 4: So no, I don't think that.
Speaker 6: And it's a fair question to ask, because I get
what you're getting at, and to again, very fair question ask,
But no, he is. He's just he is a different
play Just all these guys are different. And I think
if Camp Skattaboo would have been in front of the
nation quicker he would have been into the conversation where
he'd have been in New York. And by the way,
let's take the top five. Just let the top five
guys go. He was close enough to Dalan Gabriel, far
enough away from Bryson Day. They like, take the top
five guys. But nobody knew who camp Scattaboo was. If
you don't, you know, watch college football on the national
level lot of have you probably learned about camp Skataboo
in the Big twelve Championship for sure game and so.
Speaker 3: The monster energy Player of the game. Yeah, and by
the way, ww Big twelve MVP.
Speaker 6: By the way, there was like the rumor was if
Bryson Daily would have been a finalist, which again they
brought four. He finished six, so it's not that far away.
If he would have been a finalist. After the game,
after he finished Army Navy, they were gonna helicopter him.
Speaker 4: To New York for the ceremony. He should finalist, just some.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't play one in the game, and Blake
Corvask like, oh, don't forget about me, which we can
get to maybe, but that'd been that'd have been pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Pretty cool scene there.
Speaker 6: So look, it was one of those years where again
it was the hardest decision that I've had to make,
and it the other voters that I talked with said
the same thing between those two players, and that's why
I was the closest vote since two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3: The the worst part about Army and Navy was the
celebration flag of the rest through on hide and right.
I completely agreed with Gary Damson, like he's like, we
got warriors out there, let him play.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what are you doing? My guy spiked the ball.
Speaker 3: He's a fullbacker, caught a fifty yard touchdown and tied
the record for most touchdown receptions in a season for
a Navy Uh. I think running back or maybe fullback
with six of him, Like, come on, dude, or maybe
just receiving touchdowns. Actually, yeah, yeah, I think Cassia probably
is just receiv touchdouns.
Speaker 4: Come on, let him play.
Speaker 6: Remember throw a flag for celebrating in that game.
Speaker 4: No, by the.
Speaker 3: Way, that he didn't even celebrate the guy's face he was.
He was just spiking it with his teammates. Yeah, that guy.
That's another part of it that.
Speaker 6: I'm getting chills thinking about it that and we need
to find a way for this show to go to
that game one year because that's the one time that
the Midshipmen and the Cadets get to let loose. Yeah,
they're in the crowd and you know, march on before
the game is super tightened up obviously, and it is
what it is, and it's one of the best things
you can watch. But when they get and they sit
in their seats, it's like the first time that they
really get to let loose. They get to go to
the concession stand, they get to get what they want, right,
they get to sit in there, they get to have
their phones out, they get.
Speaker 4: To dance and jump around.
Speaker 6: Actually, me and EJ were walking out of the press
box and I was like, I'm filming them, Like they
were all in the concession lines and they were just
chatting it up and you could tell like that was
like their time to like just.
Speaker 4: Let go, let loose.
Speaker 6: And that's another just cool portion of it because like
they don't get that opportunity very often, but that weekend
they're encouraged to have fun and they certainly do.
Speaker 4: It's badass man, all right.
Speaker 3: When we get back here on OTV, let's see what
do we got lined up next year? Is I'm I
got too many tabs open, damn it. You definitely gotta
get to basketball. U oh, I want to talk roster
too as well. We'll do one or the other ones
we get back here on off the.
Speaker 1: Bench, Off the bench.
Speaker 2: You're a mean one, mister Grinch. You really are. Your
as cudley as a cactus. You're as charming as any
mister the.
Speaker 1: Ninth ranked Morning Sports.
Speaker 2: Greasy black people.
Speaker 3: You know that is guys, our guy.
Speaker 5: Thurtle Ravenscroft shout out thorough.
Speaker 2: A monster, mister Grinch.
Speaker 3: Your I don't know how you wrote this song so
longer if you're talking about Algey and.
Speaker 9: That's all I thought you were gonna go.
Speaker 3: I know I can tell that you made me go
there because I could tell when you smiled at me,
you thought that was like, oh way, let's just go
and go down that road.
Speaker 9: Never forget my nails right now are very festival.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, look at those things, a little shiny red,
shiny candy apple red.
Speaker 8: They're a little bit of like uh red slippers, but
they're Christmas.
Speaker 4: What about Uh have you seen wicked?
Speaker 8: I haven't seen Wicked, yet I.
Speaker 4: Got a war they were here.
Speaker 6: I feel like I missed it so jealous that Taylor
just get to see movies whenever he wants.
Speaker 4: And then I went to see a movie for shut
Up that.
Speaker 3: Is probably and and obviously we love kids here and
they change your life and they're awesome. Yeah, I mean
simple changes because your kids can watch themselves now. Of
the simple changes, that's been the biggest difference me. I
used to go to movies once a week, like I
used to go all the time.
Speaker 6: So I used to go on Fridays when I used
to only work the Cocksports TV show, the l SU
pre game and postgame show, The Gordian I did, like
we didn't travel with the team, so I travel like
these little bit sec towns. But I used to own
Fox Sports National Radio on Fridays, I would give a
movie review like every time they called me. I had
like a weekly deal. And every time they called me
like hey, what are you doing the movie theater? And
then like they call it on like you see a
movie earlier. Yeah, So it became like I gave it
one through four footballs, like my movie.
Speaker 4: Reviews, what got? What was do you remember a four
football movie Fury. Uh great movie. I saw it in
shy above. What did you? Did you ever have a
one football movie? The SpongeBob movie?
Speaker 11: What I mean that that makes sense?
Speaker 4: Which one you were one? Or the one in the
salty spatoon where they like have to square pants, you.
Speaker 3: Know, because like when the original one came out, I'll
never forget that was like way back I just gotten yeah, okay,
out of water maybe yeah, maybe so, but it was
a newer one.
Speaker 5: It was not the original first smell.
Speaker 8: No, no, because I remember my mom took me. That
took me and my brother or that, and we were
like kids and she was pregnant with my sister. So
this is like a long time I remember.
Speaker 3: Because again, like I said, I just got caught smoking
weed as being in high school. And uh uh, but
I think I've told this story everybody in the shower
my friend's mom, we were trying to dodger and we
got the smell and she's all of a sudden, So
our plan was, Okay, let's hop in the shower, and
so she bangs on the door and we're in the
shower together.
Speaker 4: That's where where bombs are. Fascination with shower.
Speaker 5: She definitely, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so so it was bad, but.
Speaker 9: Y'all deitly tripping. Y'all were like, oh, yeah, I got
this good idea. Let's both get in the shower together.
It won't be suspicious at all.
Speaker 4: Well, we were already we were already caught. But she
stopped thinking about them smoking weeds. She's like, what do
you guys doing. It's like it's like major pain.
Speaker 3: When he's like what, He's like, yo, you want your
whatever to stop hurting his fingers. Yeah, yeah, it's the
same deal. Uh, but now I'll never forget. Then we
were on the way to the SpongeBob movie that weekend,
me and my dad and my little brother, and I
did something that pissed my dad off, and he was.
Speaker 4: Like, you would have tell your little brother what you
just got? Trump for it.
Speaker 3: Later he apologized, like my bad dude. I was like, yeah,
I'll never get after I got caught. What he told
me was, hey.
Speaker 4: Your mother's very disappointed in you. You know you've really
disappointed your mother?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, come on, it was like glasshouses and such.
Speaker 3: The man one state and then proceeded to not.
Speaker 4: Go to school for an entire what he was doing
when he was skipping class.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly exactly what were they doing down in Grande ran.
Speaker 4: So Craven Friday Night? That's why I don't know how
was that?
Speaker 8: Is it?
Speaker 4: Good? Action was great? I mean storyline? Yeah?
Speaker 9: What bad?
Speaker 4: The storyline? You know, could could have detailed. I just
hate that.
Speaker 5: No he did.
Speaker 4: He was savages all right? Yeah, he was a great movie.
The action was awesome. I forgot about it. He's very
good looking. That actor is like, yes, the rest of them,
I don't know the guys. Oh my god. I saw
a video of Aaron Taylor Johnson.
Speaker 9: Oh yes, that's very Aaron Taylor. He's married to like
a very older lady though right.
Speaker 4: Now she's like, yeah, she's like twenty something years older.
Speaker 3: Yeah, damn, yeah, she got the experience.
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 6: Five point five out of ten on IMDb currently is crazy.
Speaker 4: I would I would have given it.
Speaker 11: If you'd have said out of five footballs, I probably
would have done like four point five.
Speaker 4: And a half.
Speaker 3: You allow decimals in the four football system. Decimals always
like a cop out to me, why don't we do
out of We did not because of that same reason,
because I said, you know what, there's not half footballs.
Speaker 4: If it was half it would be deflated. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,
I would have given it probably. Yeah, the five point
five out of ten makes sense. It was all right.
Speaker 3: Speaking of save something for the rest of us, I
saw a video of Jack Harlow this weekend and.
Speaker 6: No, I said, I said, that was like, he's so
good looking, like, say something for the rest of us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess there was a show called like Chicken
Date Shop or something that Chicken.
Speaker 9: She's like from England.
Speaker 3: Yes, she's from the UK and she goes I guess
on the dates and famous people in these old chicken
chomp Have you seen the Jack Harlow clip? This might
be the most attractive man I've ever seen in.
Speaker 9: My entire life.
Speaker 4: It blew my mind.
Speaker 6: We can we can play it next real quick. Last
thing on Craving the Hunter. The budget was one hundred
and ten million dollars opening weekend in the US and Canada.
Speaker 4: Eleven million dollars makes sense.
Speaker 6: It makes sense worldwide, twenty six million dollars off one
hundred and ten million dollar budget.
Speaker 5: So is this a Sony joint? Is this a Marvel joint?
Speaker 4: This joint? Right?
Speaker 6: Yeah, dude, they mess up Morbush, Madam Webb. This even
the Venom movies were Okay, the.
Speaker 3: First of it was I the second Yeah, I mean,
I guess sometimes these things gained so much momentum where
they can't be stopped. But like, surely they had to
know the temperature of the room that they're releasing Craven
into superhero movies, that the appetite is down. We're all stuck,
as I'm saying, we've all had to loosen our belts,
can't eat another piece. And then you come in here
with like some side dish that nobody even really cares
about it just so you gave.
Speaker 4: Me some whole week bread.
Speaker 11: So like we went, we went ittline, So like what.
Speaker 5: Not if you're stuff, you're not gonna be like you're
shut up.
Speaker 4: No matter when.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, you know what I'm saying this is, but
like Craven like is not sour.
Speaker 6: You have to Craven such a deep dive, like you
have to like really be into the comic books.
Speaker 4: So Craven we went in blind.
Speaker 11: So what we did we just wanted to go see
a movie because like that's what being Victoria used to
do a lot we were in college. We just hadn't
been in a while, and basically movie Tavern had like
two movies playing and then everything else was classic Christmas movies.
And we're like we've kind of already watched all the
classic Christmas movies. We're like, let's just go see Craven.
Speaker 6: That's a book. It's fine, Like go see a movie.
I'd love to sit down and just eat some popcorn
and just watch. I don't even care it's bad. Like
I would love to do that large.
Speaker 3: Popcorn and a large coke.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd love to do that. It could be a
bad movie. I don't I don't know that I've seen
one since we saw like Top Gun. It's been like
that long for me.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's the last movie I.
Speaker 9: Saw in the theaters.
Speaker 4: It might have been mine, but I say I used
to go all the time.
Speaker 6: Oh so, like a movie like Craven the Hunter, like
there's not like an appetite for it, even Like we
talked about the Gambit movie, like you know, and they
tried to make that forever and like I know who
game it is?
Speaker 4: We all do, I think because he's like a little
wit character.
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, he had his time tore an X
man but now that Channing almost said chanting crowded. Channing
Tatum was in Deadpool Wolverine, like now people know, like
a kid, you know, you may actually like now would
be the perfect time to make like we got we
got cookies like delivered to the house last night. And Hudson,
who's always my wild card, he comes up. He goes, oh,
I'm about to make a name for myself. I was like,
oh my gambit yea, And he made so like you know,
an eleven years old, so like he's seen that he's in.
Speaker 4: He'sn't even seen the movie, but he's seen that clip now.
Speaker 11: So yeah, we got and so like okay, damb it
was until that movie did okay?
Speaker 6: Soe like tubobanized age like for sure, like X Men
ninety seven was to me almost like the main character.
Speaker 3: Yes, and you know, and yeah I remember my dad
being like, hey, he's a case.
Speaker 4: He's from Louisiana for sure.
Speaker 3: Also I mean cool power, you know, right, Kenny, he
get anything he touches, he can make explosive, right basically,
so get them cards. We'll see because they are gonna
do a whole X Men thing with Marvel, So if
that works, I mean, do you have gambit in there?
Like in A A and more of a te movie
they give him solo after I don't know, I don't know,
but at least we got dead pulled over. It's kind
of like how we got Pineapple Pineapple Express too in
This is the End.
Speaker 4: Instead of a full movie, at least we got a
homage to it.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, right yeah.
Speaker 3: Coming up next to wrap up our two of Off
the Bench.
Speaker 1: Off the Bench.
Speaker 3: Uh, go to main event, guys, how about it? You

Speaker 4: How about that?
Speaker 3: So you bring the kids, you go with a couple
of friends whatever, mention all the bench and you help

because of TB. Right, and you get a thirty minute
time car.
Speaker 4: Okay. We love being partnered with Main Event.
Speaker 3: And if you are a business owner, you lead a team, uh,
you should get in touch with the dedicated party planners
at Main Event to plan an event to celebrate milestones,
Christmas party whatever. Right, We're ready to go, and it's
a ton of fun. We got the team built that
you can do like the Ropes Coores. You can do
the Bowley and the laser tag. The ArKade Game's main event, Doc.
Speaker 4: So if you mentioned OTV, you said, yep, you get
a thirty minute time car.
Speaker 6: Baby, I'm gonna do that because you never give me
the rassless gift car.
Speaker 4: But I bet main event will give me the car

Plus you do it as well. Mainevent dot Com.
Speaker 10: Boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo
boo boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 4: Santa Baby, just slip a sable under the tree.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the ninth morning sports show in America.
Speaker 4: Girl, Santa Baby, Sorry, I haven't turned shirt to a
couple of segments. We'll get back. I think I think
he's feeling pretty good in at large. Actually, well, that's
what it is, like how the muscles are looking.
Speaker 3: I will say this, the all black, it just kind
of becomes one like like yeah, like one like mass
here that does look infinitely better on camera than the
other options that we've had on today. Thus far and
is starting to get cold too, so sweater maybe back
in play.
Speaker 4: It's always is kicked on. Yeah, it's like an eight
forty five time round. It has to be, has to be.
It gets miserable in here, all right, Uh, where are
we going to go next?
Speaker 7: Here?
Speaker 4: What happened? What happened with men's women's basketball? Every weekend?
Speaker 11: Women won yesterday? Ugly game, low scoring game against Ull.
Speaker 4: Jersey took care of business.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so Jersey got our first start at LSU, had
a double double, led the team in scoring yesterday. I
believe it was thirteen points, eleven rebounds somewhere and there. Yeah,
it's just an ugly game, a lot of foul on
of turnovers, but Tucker's got it done and they went by,
you know, fifteen to twenty margin. So they took care
of business. And then the men lost seventy four to
sixty four to SMU. Yeah, they didn't shoot the ball well,
twenty nine percent from three. I believe it was outbounded
by ten.
Speaker 8: So just also just way too many turnovers in the
second half.
Speaker 4: Lea in the half, Yeah, they did.
Speaker 9: They had a big, like I would consider a pretty
big lead.
Speaker 8: His story into the half like six or eight I think. Yeah,
it was something like seven I think. But yeah, I
mean here's your higher your highest score twelve points that day.
Speaker 9: Just it was way too many turnover they seventeen.
Speaker 8: Yeah, way too many because they even won the field
goal stat and everything.
Speaker 9: So just didn't read for real.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's you know, now, that's one of
those things. On that night, you managed to overcome it.
But the long term ramifications there are potentially very large.
Speaker 11: Well that's the think seventeen turnovers as saying you shoots
better than you and you're out rebounded by ten.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't win that game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, too many offens was the offense where it's like
thirteen or something.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so they had thirteen LSU had seven total rebounds.
Speaker 4: They went forty one thirty one. Mm hmm. So the
women went went went how close are you to SEC play?
Uh January? Four? Yeah, games games.
Speaker 8: They play stut The men's play stuts In on Wednesday,
okay at eight.
Speaker 3: Well, very very much looking forward to UH conference play
in this SEC, at least in the men's side, that
seems to be maybe like the best conference ever.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Like there's a lot of SEC teams in the
top twenty five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't basically Jake isn't like the whole SEC right now,
quad one or Quad two?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, uh.
Speaker 3: You know, in the greatest challenges a lot of times
there also lies opportunity, and it's a great opportunity to
create a hell of a resume where you can actually
afford some losses. Be all have so many quality wins
you can uh, you know, make up some ground.
Speaker 9: Nine SEC teams in the top twenty five.
Speaker 3: I'm still so pissed about Lane Kiffing and Greg burn
like complaining about scheduling and yelling at us about how
they're not going to schedule any hard teams. I'm like, guys,
you had the two easiest out of conference schedules in
the conference. You already weren't scheduling hard teams. It's on me,
and tell me it's why they didn't even lose out
of conference. They didn't play yeah well, and and they
literally had the easiest out of conference schedules. I think
it's what God will miss in Trouble if they'd actually
challenge themselves earlier, and they probably won't gain.
Speaker 4: Yeah. The toughest game was Wake Forest.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was awful and then he tried to flex
on that, being like they canceled that game, okay because
they're terrible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, why would they want to play you?
Speaker 6: Yeah, like the more and more, I I know a
lot of people are like l SU, they won't play
directional school you.
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't.
Speaker 6: I say, be man and win, like I if you
want to make the argument you want Clemson like the
second game and not the first game.
Speaker 4: Like we could sit down and have that talk maybe, but.
Speaker 3: At this point, in for a penny, in for a pound,
if you give it up and you try to like
get out of these games, now you're truly beaten. Yeah,
you might as well turn around and just lay prostrate
in front of your enemies, like because no, dude, be
a man, Okay, stand up and win the game.
Speaker 4: Like they say, it's Clemson's first game as well, That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: The other teams are winning them, you know, like they're
scheduling you and they're winning them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so what's the problem. Just win one. Did jug
over LSU's twenty five schedule on Friday? I'm sure you did. No,
I forgot, Yeah we did. We did the miss I
wasn't here. I must have been gone. Okay on Friday.
Speaker 9: I forget this too.
Speaker 4: Yeah it was Friday, Friday.
Speaker 5: We did day wait a Thursday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we didn't do I don't think because I
have not looked at it. I forgot they released it
on Wednesday. Uh yeah, I mean okay, Look, we got
weekend winners. Next we started the story of the day.
We got deb we got like an NFL recap. We
got to get to I still have to talk. We
