I I did want 59 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,039 to get my I got my chest dot Com shirt on. 60 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: It's not my accent. 61 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,039 Speaker 3: Didn't want to give a shout out to Guqusto Moraju, 62 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:09,319 who just became the youngest chess world champion in history, 63 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,479 just eighteen years old. Guys, and Gukesh now world champion. 64 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: I've told you all before India's coming. 65 00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:22,479 Speaker 3: You know, it seems like every day you wake up 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,520 and there's a new youngest ever grand master and he's 67 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,080 always from India. And now you have your youngest ever 68 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:28,759 world champion. 69 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: It's Guqush. But is he actually world champion? 70 00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,879 Speaker 3: I mean, here's where it gets a bit complicated, right, 71 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,800 because Magnus Carlson is still the best player in the 72 00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,479 entire world. But after ten years of defending his title, 73 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,479 he vacated basically bored, right, he didn't want to keep 74 00:03:44,479 --> 00:03:46,840 playing these classical title matchs that they take so long 75 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:48,360 to prep whether they're so grinding. 76 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:48,439 Speaker 2: So hard. 77 00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:51,039 Speaker 3: But nobody was really even close to him. Nobody was 78 00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:54,759 exciting him, and so he ends up walking away from 79 00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,560 the title. Ding Laronnaignacci to get it, and now Lukesh 80 00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:02,479 has beaten Ding, so he. 81 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: Is world champion. 82 00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: But I still gotta hope against So then maybe Magnus 83 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,599 will come back out and you can you can get 84 00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:12,439 a more satisfactory world champion. But it does not take 85 00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:16,680 away from what Gukesh has done working through the candidates 86 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,439 and uh now beating Ding on that stage in the 87 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,240 last game. They were tied going into the last game, guys, 88 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,040 and then Ding blundered. That's what's crazy about that sport game, 89 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:32,000 whatever you want to call it. I mean the fourteen games, 90 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,720 countless hours and and and in the end, all it 91 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,399 takes is one mistake. 92 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,399 Speaker 2: And you're no longer world champion. 93 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: Shout out Cash, that's the one dude today, Lauger, what's up. 94 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 2: How you feeling. 95 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 5: I'm feeling great.

Yeah, and so last night 215 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,279 we watched Polar Express. 216 00:09:56,799 --> 00:09:58,879 Speaker 5: About to backtrack, I'm. 217 00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: Look, I think I think my animus for it was 218 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,080 a bit too extreme. I would still not put it 219 00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:08,039 in my twelve team bracket. But it is by no 220 00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:09,159 means a bad movie. 221 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 2: It's depressing, It's a little bit of that. 222 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,279 Speaker 3: What it is, though, is exceedingly odd, and I like 223 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,360 odd things, and so I don't know why it rest 224 00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:22,919 didn't resonate with me before. 225 00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 2: That movie is a fever dream of a plot. 226 00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 3: It is, I mean, you might which I guess is 227 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,080 the point, right is it dreams are real whatever the 228 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:31,440 whole time? 229 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,799 Speaker 2: Right, But like it. It is. 230 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 3: Just psychedelic a most not in its visuals, but in 231 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,399 terms of how you move around that story, and that 232 00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:44,240 is cool and I like that. And you know what 233 00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:47,759 the animation creepy as hell. I mean it is the 234 00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:51,840 oh what what is the oh? The Uncanny Valley? The 235 00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:54,679 Uncanny Valley is a big disconnect, right when something's going 236 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,159 for realism but you kind of know it's fake. But 237 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,399 it's like like it is the Uncanny Valley, Final Boss. 238 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,720 But also so as we move on for it in time, 239 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,799 I do appreciate at the time what they were going. 240 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,759 I mean, they went for it. They went for it 241 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,960 some weird the whole hot chocolate scene. The animation on 242 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,960 those dancer as so weird and fluid and kind of 243 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,679 human but kind of not. It's unsettling in a lot 244 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,600 of ways, but. 245 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: I appreciate it. I appreciate it. 246 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,759 Speaker 3: So again, I think I was a bit too harsh 247 00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:30,360 on the Polar Express. 248 00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: It's still not my favorite, but it's not god awful 249 00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:36,960 like like I made it out to me. 250 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 8: No, I hate the movie Polar Express and Dollywood. We 251 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,600 used to go to Dollywood every year. Jake talks about 252 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,279 it all the time. It's up in Gallenburg. We go 253 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,519 to Galluenburg for Thanksgiving every year. They had a brand 254 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,159 new Polar Express ride and they're like, everybody, you gotta 255 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:52,519 ride it. 256 00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 6: It's our big thing. 257 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,639 Speaker 8: You had to get like a ticket to like wait 258 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,080 in line, like everybody wanted to do this. Okay, we 259 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,759 wait about two and a half hours for this ride. 260 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,120 It lasted maybe fifteen seconds and it was a motion simulator. 261 00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:05,399 Speaker 6: So Screwpolar Express. 262 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 3: I don't know what is the longest that you would 263 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,240 wait right for a theme park ride? 264 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 6: Me, not long at all. My family always makes me wait. 265 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,919 Speaker 5: Though I'm not waiting. I'm getting that fast passed. 266 00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:21,279 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, okay, but like I think I probably max 267 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,440 out thirty that ideally, Yes, So I think probably an 268 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,960 hour's where my full full peak would be. I wouldn't 269 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,679 do an hour because a lot of times you just 270 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,720 have to so look, I mean, look, at you exactly right. 271 00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:35,200 So when we went to Disney this last time, me 272 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,360 and my wife made an awful mistake. You can plan 273 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,759 everything out ahead of time nowadays and fast past and everything. 274 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:45,240 The problem was we were both very drunk and my 275 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,399 mother in law was as we were trying to coordinate 276 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,879 everything and like, but you know, a couple of weeks 277 00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:53,639 before and we completely ruined the plans. We got none 278 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,080 of the fast fastest rite nothing, so we had to 279 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,919 get refunded for all of it because none of it worked. 280 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:58,919 Speaker 2: Like we screwed it all up. 281 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,159 Speaker 3: So the only way we could get onto Tiana was 282 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,039 like waking up hitting that virtual cue and then we 283 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,639 had to wait about an hour for that ride, which 284 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,039 which was extreme. But in the end, you know, you 285 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,039 had to write it. You had to write it, I guess. 286 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,919 But like, yeah, I've seen that seven dwarfs. Mind training 287 00:13:14,919 --> 00:13:16,960 it up to like three hours? I thank doing that. 288 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 2: That's insane. 289 00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: There's nothing that you could do at the end of 290 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,120 those three hours that would that would justify that amount 291 00:13:25,159 --> 00:13:28,840 of waiting. Scott Dyce says at his seven brow they're 292 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,159 playing Eric Pride's Call on me. 293 00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 2: They're raving. 294 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 3: I was laughing the other day I was thinking about, 295 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,639 like I went to Starbucks and it was closed.

But the vibes of Starbucks 302 00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:56,919 or Sember is a bit like it's a bit like 303 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:02,320 Team pupp and SuDS versus Team Explades.

Huh. 355 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 8: I don't know how we neglected to mention this yesterday. 356 00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:21,759 Yesterday the four year anniversary of the shoe throw when 357 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,519 LSU beat flo Let's Go, and the two year anniversary 358 00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,279 of Mike Leach's passing. 359 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 3: And you really really, I mean you're up and then 360 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,519 you just just smacked us down. Rest in peace to 361 00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:34,400 the pirate for sure. 362 00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:35,839 Speaker 2: Serious man. 363 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,039 Speaker 3: That Florida game one of my favorite games of all 364 00:17:38,079 --> 00:17:41,039 time to watch. We were here in studio at that time. 365 00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:44,839 We were doing something called the fan Cave, or we 366 00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:47,839 would stream watching it live. And I remember we were 367 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,640 dressed up in our Christmas gear and Cade York. What 368 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,599 a narrative scene that was lining up to kick a 369 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,480 game winning fifty plus yard or in the fog that 370 00:17:58,599 --> 00:18:02,319 was so thick that you could even see the goalpost, 371 00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:05,759 I mean standing on the gator as you're going for 372 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,920 the kick. It was truly a Luke Skywalker esque trench 373 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000 run to blow up the swamp Star and it was. 374 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,200 It was delicious and amazing and again one of the 375 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,839 most fun wins that I've ever seen. Remember twenty point 376 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,960 Dogs LSU was in that game. But hey, what goes 377 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,839 around comes around right this year because I mean, look, 378 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,640 Florida was what gonna go to the playoff if they 379 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,519 had won that year the country. Yeah, and this year 380 00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:36,319 you would have gone to the SC Championship. But a 381 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,359 Florida team that you were favorite ever beat you. So 382 00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:44,119 you know, again, what goes around comes around. Speaking of 383 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,640 coming and going, Uh, Emery Jones yesterday made a decision 384 00:18:49,519 --> 00:18:51,880 on whether or not he would be returning, and the 385 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,200 answer is he will not. Emery Jones is headed to 386 00:18:55,279 --> 00:19:05,480 the NFL. Now this is a bit unexpected because of 387 00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:10,039 what we had been hearing. Uh, there was a lot 388 00:19:10,079 --> 00:19:14,559 of confidence and I would say a growing belief that 389 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,240 Emery was going to return. I heard it for the 390 00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:20,480 first time maybe like a month or so ago, and 391 00:19:20,519 --> 00:19:22,920 then it continued to come up and it kind of 392 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,839 started to look I don't want to say likely, but 393 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,000 but I was getting the feeling maybe I'm wrong here. 394 00:19:29,079 --> 00:19:31,319 You know, I'm sure there's people to know who'd say, uh, 395 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,759 you know, opposite. But that's how all these situations go, right. 396 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,200 One guy's in the know, and he thinks. One guy's 397 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,400 in the know and he thinks that. But I would 398 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,039 I would say it's probably accurate to say that they 399 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,799 believed or there was growing belief, optimism, hope what everyone 400 00:19:43,839 --> 00:19:46,880 to say that he was going to return in the 401 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,480 second grad age comes back? Okay, well maybe a first rounder, 402 00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:52,400 but no Emery Jones going to go to the NFL. 403 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:55,799 And uh, this is a this is a big one here, 404 00:19:57,279 --> 00:20:02,839 simply because U this would be a fourth year starter, 405 00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:10,880 four year all conference, four year starting linemen just don't 406 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,519 grow on trees, you know, like that's not really something 407 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,640 you can just go dive into the portal and replace 408 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,920 one to one. Now you're gonna go in the portal 409 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,599 for this offensive line. You have to just like you 410 00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:26,960 have to a lot of other positions. But again, I 411 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,720 don't think you're going to land anybody or find an 412 00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:33,440 option that would have been as good as Emery Jones. 413 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,519 So there is a negative effect there, like an objective 414 00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:41,359 undeniable negative effect where your offensive line to by extension, 415 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,079 your team not as good as it would have been. 416 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 2: Had Emory Jones returned. 417 00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 3: I mean, if Emory Jones would come back, you'd have 418 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,680 still DJ Chester at center. You'd have Jones somewhere in 419 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,680 that mix. And then so what I mean is so yeah, 420 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,880 just Chester. Now, I mean Paul Mabinga who got some 421 00:20:58,039 --> 00:21:00,000 starting time at the end of the year, you expect 422 00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:02,960 he would factor in heavily. Tyrie Adams, he was like 423 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,559 one of the next guys up. Still exciting to see 424 00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:08,839 what Weston Davis can do. Maybe Borderlon factors in. But 425 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,480 as you can see, at a time where you're gonna 426 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,839 be replacing so much there bringing back a fourth year 427 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,240 starter that was all conference level and an NFL player 428 00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:26,599 that would have been massive, massive, not even get into 429 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,640 the knock on effect that Emory could have played guard 430 00:21:28,839 --> 00:21:30,720 or tackle. See, you lost somebody a bit versatile that 431 00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:33,039 could have plugged holes some multiple different ways. So yeah, 432 00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:38,039 this is undeniably unfortunate. And it's so funny to watch 433 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,880 the mental health and temperature of LSU fans waffle back 434 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,119 and forth during this time where you get a piece 435 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,960 of good news. Okay, we're fine, we're back. You get 436 00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:50,119 piece of bad news. Oh my god, we suck again. 437 00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:57,119 And I would just say this, after this season, I 438 00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:05,400 feel a bit hmm, how do I want to describe it? 439 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,720 I said on the phone yesterday talking to someone, and 440 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,640 I'm trying to remember the exact verbiage that I use. 441 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,920 It's not apathy. Maybe it's a bit more cynicism. 442 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,759 Speaker 2: I've been so. 443 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 3: Positive, you know, worked myself up now three years or 444 00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:32,519 whatever you want to say, like so many times to 445 00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:35,960 be like oh yeah, okay, okay, this one. Then now 446 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,640 it's like okay, I mean what what Eventually you get 447 00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:42,640 enough of these news pieces, this guy transferring unexpectedly, this 448 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,039 guy leaving unexpectedly, this guy decommitting, this guy not coming that. 449 00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:48,920 At a certain point, like you're like, well, why do 450 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,119 I keep what? You know? 451 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,599 Speaker 2: It just PiZZ on, It just PiZZ on. So the 452 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,279 Emory Jones news is bad. 453 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 3: But again, my my reaction to is kind of like 454 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:01,759 shrug of the shoulders. 455 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,599 Speaker 2: Here we go, just kind of par for the chorus. 456 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,559 Speaker 3: This team's gotta find a way, And I feel bad 457 00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:10,359 for this staff because that's kind of the cold hard 458 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,640 truth of the situation is it's a really tough situation 459 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,319 to deal with. The Yah, you're bringing your quarterback back, 460 00:23:16,319 --> 00:23:18,400 but now who's gonna protect your quarterback and set him 461 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,680 up for success. You're gonna have to replace basically this 462 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,079 entire offensive line. 463 00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:27,079 Speaker 2: But hey, just comes with the territory. You gotta find 464 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:27,359 a way. 465 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 3: And every team's gonna deal with this in one way 466 00:23:29,319 --> 00:23:31,559 or another, in one position group or another. 467 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 2: But if you would have told me. 468 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 3: Who were the players that could leave that would have 469 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,720 the biggest impact, I mean, who would have been higher 470 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,240 NUS quarterback? Obviously that would have been first name me, 471 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,240 A player that would have been a bigger loss had. 472 00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 8: He chosen to leave than Emery Jones, camp Jones and 473 00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:52,319 Campbell and they're both gone. 474 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's it. 475 00:23:53,839 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 8: I was talking about this yesterday when y'all had to 476 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,680 take off early, like you could say, okay, well it's 477 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,440 just another loss on the offensive line and you already 478 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,480 lost thoughts changes everything. His ability to play garden tackle, 479 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,440 and if you really wanted it, you didn't feel good 480 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,200 about left tackle, You're like, hey, we got a four 481 00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:09,319 year guy, let's throw him there at left tackle. Maybe 482 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,079 he could be a band aid there for a year. 483 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,839 And you know, we spent all day yesterday talking about 484 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,559 how much of a progression we hope Nus takes, how 485 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,799 we hope he takes that step forward, how much of 486 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:21,400 a step back does the offensive line take? How much 487 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,119 does that hinder Garrett Nosemier, Because I mean that that 488 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,319 makes all the difference in the world. 489 00:24:25,759 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Now now nuts will have to learn to 490 00:24:29,519 --> 00:24:31,720 protect themselves in some way help his oat line out, 491 00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:33,279 like you'll have to coach around it. 492 00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:35,079 Speaker 2: Like it's it's not just some. 493 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,559 Speaker 3: It's not a problem that is unsolvable, but it is 494 00:24:39,599 --> 00:24:44,559 a tough problem to solve. And Dane Bergeron asked the 495 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,440 question I think many are asking, do you think players 496 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,440 do not want to play with Kelly? 497 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 2: With so many players leaving? 498 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,519 Speaker 3: That's also tough to say, man, because players are leaving everywhere. 499 00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 2: Give me a list of the. 500 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,559 Speaker 3: Top like the schools who's had the most players leave, 501 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,640 because I feel like it's gonna be many of the 502 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,279 premier rosters. Now there is some insane situations like the 503 00:25:06,319 --> 00:25:09,000 Marshall one where what the whole team's in the transfer portal? 504 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: I believe, like quite literally. 505 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,039 Speaker 6: They also have. 506 00:25:12,039 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 3: A bowl game coming up. So, yeah, I don't know 507 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,599 what's gonna happen in that Bowl game. Dude, I guess 508 00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:18,839 you got to cancel. I don't know, but give me that. 509 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,599 Uh So, I guess I'm not saying that the players. 510 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,359 I have no idea how the players feel about Brian Kelly. 511 00:25:25,759 --> 00:25:28,680 I do agree that there seems to be a lot 512 00:25:28,759 --> 00:25:30,799 of circumstantial evidences. 513 00:25:31,759 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: No, go ahead. 514 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 5: It looks like Arkansas with twenty four players. 515 00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: Like give me, give me, like, give me, like the 516 00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:36,839 top five, ten. 517 00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 5: Whatever, Arkansas, UCF, Arizona, Kentucky and Mississippi State. They're tied 518 00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:45,839 fifth with Nebraska. 519 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 2: So where does Elsie? 520 00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:49,759 Speaker 5: It only goes to eight, so they're not in the 521 00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:50,240 top eight. 522 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, so again I look that I would imagine 523 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,319 a sixteen and yeah, but where House And then I 524 00:25:56,319 --> 00:26:00,119 would imagine that's basically comparable to Alabama and Georgia and 525 00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:03,200 basically any school kind of on that level. 526 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 5: So I gotta say it'd be ninth because the eighth 527 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,519 the tied for eight. They have seventeen departures, so. 528 00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:12,559 Speaker 3: Give me, give me, give me, give me like Alabama 529 00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:14,400 and Georgians who were there at Because actually, right now, 530 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,200 my theory is not. 531 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 5: Being A and M has seventeen. Okay, A and M 532 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,519 has seventeen in the portal. 533 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 3: Well, the point of all is that I don't think 534 00:26:23,319 --> 00:26:26,279 LSU has like an extra normal number. But I do 535 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,079 understand that there seems to be some circumstance, circumstantial evidence 536 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,720 as to whether or not Kelly's connecting with these players, 537 00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:37,880 with these recruits. But the other factor here is the 538 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,839 gold rush, because there is so much money being thrown 539 00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:46,160 into the marketplace right now with any trust settlement suit 540 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,559 coming uh or the settlement coming on July first, and 541 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,160 all of these collectives wanting to uh spin their entire 542 00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:55,519 nut that they've been saving up. I mean, you know 543 00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:58,000 this is this is, this is winter time only we're 544 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,960 gonna eat all the acorns. And if you want some acorns, 545 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,599 you gotta be eligible to feast. And the only way 546 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,440 that you do that is by putting your name in 547 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,880 the market. Now, memory, that's not the case, right maybe 548 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,960 every like, look, guys, sometimes you just want to go 549 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,039 to the NFL if you're a good enough player, you know, 550 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,039 like college is a grind and he's done it for 551 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,039 three years, should he do another year of wear tearing 552 00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:25,319 his body? Or should he go start his NFL career. 553 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,119 I mean that's like, you know, go test well go 554 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,480 previously Like that's. 555 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,039 Speaker 2: Or maybe he's unhappy. 556 00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: That could be anything, though I can't ascribe motivations there, 557 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,559 but in terms of when I see guys hit the portal, 558 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,400 I think it's It's also hard to describe motivations because 559 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,000 simply like, sometimes you just want to maximize what you're 560 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,480 gonna get paid, and the only way to do that 561 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,759 is by entering the portal during this cold drush. 562 00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:49,759 Speaker 2: Say Dryan also entered the portal yesterday. 563 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,079 Speaker 6: Go ahead day Alabama has eleven in the portal. 564 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 3: Oh okay, actually that's a strong it's strong than by Diboris. 565 00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:01,920 Strong player attention, say Drying all the portal yesterday. I 566 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,359 heard of Rumoris going to Nichols, which would be pretty fascinating. 567 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,160 I don't know, but either way, look sage solid player 568 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,160 at LSU. Unfortunately, he could never get out of his 569 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,720 own five star shadow. That's the weird thing about being 570 00:28:16,759 --> 00:28:20,720 at five star out of high school is if you're 571 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,839 a legitimate starter, like you could be a fine starter, 572 00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:26,880 but you suck because you weren't a superstar. Whereas if 573 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,680 you're a two star and you become a starter. Everybody 574 00:28:28,759 --> 00:28:31,079 loves it and you're great because you've overachieved here. So 575 00:28:31,319 --> 00:28:33,400 it's weird. I think Savee is a very solid starter 576 00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:37,640 for you, but unfortunately his own ratings out of high school, 577 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,440 he just could again never escape that shadow. 578 00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 2: I don't think that's a massive loss. 579 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 3: I think you were already really going hard after safeties anyway, 580 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,799 and I think you're gonna just I mean, you were 581 00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:50,680 basically going to try to replace him anyway this offseason, 582 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,039 so that makes sense that he would hit the portal. 583 00:28:53,079 --> 00:28:57,440 But make no mistake, Emery Jones leaving this team, There's 584 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:03,359 no argument, no world, no way to say that LSU 585 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,559 is a better team with Emery Jones going in the NFL. 586 00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 2: You got worse. But now you just got to try 587 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,079 to mitigate that damage. 588 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 8: George only has five in the portal, but they're still 589 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,359 playing meaningful football games in the playoffs soon. 590 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, who knows. Maybe maybe I'm wrong, Maybe 591 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:21,079 I'm wrong. 592 00:29:21,079 --> 00:29:24,119 Speaker 3: Maybe LSU is on the higher end of of of 593 00:29:24,119 --> 00:29:26,839 of player exits, and maybe it does speak to something 594 00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:29,799 because every other team that was around that number and 595 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:37,160 that top eight, there's coaching changes, strife, disappointment with Elco. 596 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,480 It's like a new coach that makes a bit of sense, 597 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,440 So maybe that would speak to Dane's point again, it's 598 00:29:42,519 --> 00:29:44,640 it's it's tough to parse without knowing. 599 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,079 Speaker 2: But then you look at things like Charles. 600 00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 3: Turner and and which I don't know if we ever 601 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,960 talked about what he said in that article here about 602 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,119 coach Kelly, but we can get that all right when 603 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,559 we get back here on Off the Bench LSU was 604 00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:00,559 hosting some top transfer portal targets as Hey, let's get 605 00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:03,359 to it next O TB Off. 606 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:20,039 Speaker 7: The Bench, Off the Bench drivers switching safe with Progressive 607 00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:20,720 Quick Safe. 608 00:30:20,599 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 2: U Welcome back TV. 609 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 5: I have no idea why I just did that. 610 00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 3: Brad, the Zyda coke guy, he says, can we get 611 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,720 a shot out for our Zydi coode tonight's Teddy Bear toss. 612 00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:34,799 Let's pack the chicken finger to get those kids more bears? 613 00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:37,960 Is that we're calling it the chicken finger? That is excellent. 614 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,000 That's the raising canes arena there. Look again. I went 615 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:43,880 to his dacoad game a couple weeks so really fun time, guys, 616 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,559 really chill, you have yourself a couple of beers eat 617 00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:50,160 some good uh you know, some good concessions. 618 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,599 Speaker 2: Still a bit shocked that there's no canes in there. 619 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,160 Uh you know. But but either way, no. 620 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,319 Speaker 5: Canes in the Raising Canes River Center. No, no ironic right, 621 00:30:58,680 --> 00:30:59,920 feels like a missed opportunity. 622 00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:02,839 Speaker 8: Agree, I agree to what they do. Have muffle lot 623 00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:07,599 of fries, Huh is it good? Never had them, I've 624 00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:08,839 seen them though. They look really good. 625 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 3: Uh, I've been so I never liked muffal lot. As 626 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,440 we know, your taste buds change every few years. I've 627 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,640 been I've been getting into him a bit lately. Sometimes 628 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,200 they can still be a bit too olivey, but there's 629 00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:21,160 there's a little in between that I'm really liking. 630 00:31:21,799 --> 00:31:23,559 Speaker 2: Uh. But yeah, I go get that. 631 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 3: Uh that that Mufflada Monday special over there. Canna tell 632 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,759 is very good, very very tasty stuff. My son likes them, 633 00:31:31,759 --> 00:31:36,039 which is weird. Weird kids normally do not like something 634 00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:38,799 that tastes that extreme. But he freaking smashes him. 635 00:31:39,319 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 5: I don't even like olives. 636 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never liked olls my whole life. So this 637 00:31:43,359 --> 00:31:44,960 is again, this is kind of a recent development. 638 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 2: It's like I hated. 639 00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:47,359 Speaker 3: Pickles fair Now I love pickles, so you know, you 640 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,279 never know.

Like I have like a genuine fear of them. 669 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: I remember in high school, wake get over the roaches 670 00:32:58,960 --> 00:32:59,680 crawled on the phone. 671 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,119 Speaker 6: God, where were you? 672 00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 5: Oh my god, that's horrifying. 673 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,319 Speaker 2: Bedroom. Yeah, your taste buds changed. 674 00:33:08,359 --> 00:33:12,119 Speaker 3: So you know, it's like Taylor, you never liked boys 675 00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:14,079 for years, right, and then recently at some point that 676 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,319 just kind of the way around. 677 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 2: Oh okay, other way. 678 00:33:16,559 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 8: That growing up, because now I'm married to a woman, 679 00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:19,960 so it's actually the other way around. 680 00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 6: I mean, I mean, your point still stands. 681 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 2: So yesterday. 682 00:33:28,559 --> 00:33:33,359 Speaker 3: LSU hosted three different transfer targets. 683 00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 4: Uh. 684 00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:36,519 Speaker 3: The first one a big one here Kentucky wide receiver 685 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:42,319 Barry and Brown. Brown was a freshman All American? 686 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,359 Speaker 8: Was it two years ago? Or maybe three years ago? 687 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,759 So that was twenty twenty two, So two years ago? 688 00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 3: Okay, I get confused my years still he's played three 689 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,920 years of collegeable yeah, so okay, so he was a 690 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,799 freshman All American. But this he was actually a preseason 691 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,359 first team All American entering twenty twenty four, so very 692 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,440 high expectations. But as we know, Kentucky was an absolute 693 00:34:05,519 --> 00:34:08,679 disaster this year. So here in year number three and 694 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,679 which you guys supposed to be peaking, he actually had 695 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,840 his worst season yet, twenty nine catches, three sixty one 696 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:20,079 only three touchdowns. But everybody can see, well, it's not 697 00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:22,800 on Barry Brown, it's Kentucky, right, it's the context of 698 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,559 the situation. That was a god awful offense. I was 699 00:34:25,559 --> 00:34:28,280 wasting his talent. So he is one of the premier 700 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,159 targets in the transfer portal. And apparently the visit went 701 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,639 very well, and the ON three recruiting prediction machine, for 702 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,960 whatever that is worth, is picking LSU to land the receiver. 703 00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:46,199 Speaker 2: So that is massive, right, because you lose CJ. Daniels, 704 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,199 You're losing. 705 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 3: Kyraen Lacy you get I mean, maybe you get Chris 706 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,679 Hilton back. We'll see, and after that it's just like, okay, 707 00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:55,880 which young guys are gonna steit up? So barryon Brown, 708 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,639 like if he joins today, even if Chris Hilton returns, 709 00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:03,840 that is by by far your most experienced and productive receiver. 710 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 8: No, yeah, I mean him, and then you know Anderson 711 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,679 to break out year. But yeah, probably Barry and Brown 712 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:10,960 because he's done for three years. 713 00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 2: Oh, I forget about Aaron Erson. Sorry, you're right, you're right, Yes. 714 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,159 Speaker 8: My bad Brown, Hilton and Mikyle Parker back from injury. 715 00:35:19,199 --> 00:35:20,679 Speaker 3: So I mean again, I think I don't think there's 716 00:35:20,679 --> 00:35:22,760 a lot of talent in that group. I trust Cortes 717 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,000 Hankedon above anybody when it comes to developing wide receivers. 718 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,519 I mean, look at what has happened to Georgia since 719 00:35:28,519 --> 00:35:30,280 he left, and look at what's happened to LSU since 720 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:30,840 he got here. 721 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 4: Uh. 722 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 3: But yeah, if you could land Barry Brown, that would 723 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,840 be a massive git for this offense. 724 00:35:37,159 --> 00:35:37,280 Speaker 4: Uh. 725 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:43,199 Speaker 3: Maybe even bigger is Florida cornerback Jakeem Jackson. And this 726 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,880 feels like LSU. It makes all the sense in the 727 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,039 world that LSU would land him here. He was a 728 00:35:48,119 --> 00:35:50,480 number three cornerback in twenty twenty three. It was a 729 00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:52,800 massive git for Florida to get him. Why did they 730 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:53,199 get him? 731 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 2: Corey Raymond? 732 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 3: Where's Corey Raymond now at LSU? So Jakeem Jackson leaving 733 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,760 Florida one to reunite with Raymond, or at least we 734 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,199 think he does. That makes a lot of sense. Getting 735 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,119 him huge, Okay, because then you got him, you got picket, 736 00:36:08,159 --> 00:36:12,840 you got andying, you still got Woodland, you still got stamps. 737 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,599 Like Okay, all of a sudden, we've got a lot 738 00:36:15,639 --> 00:36:18,920 of guys to throw against the wall and have somebody 739 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,199 you know, have have legitimate starters emerge. Corey Raymond if 740 00:36:22,199 --> 00:36:25,679 he lands a Keem Jackson fulfilling the the the kind 741 00:36:25,679 --> 00:36:29,239 of DBU revitalization project, I think that could be massive. 742 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,880 And then there's Purdue defensive end will help six sixty five. 743 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,679 We touched on him a bit recently. He's kind of 744 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,480 he's he's not like your pure pass rusher. He's he's 745 00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:42,440 he's kind of an every down edge guy right good 746 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,599 against the run, good, good at rushing the passers certainly, 747 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,960 I mean ten Tiffles five sacks this year in his 748 00:36:49,039 --> 00:36:52,639 sophomore season. But he's he's a hot commodity right now. 749 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,840 Like the other two guys pretty too to LSU. He 750 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,039 visited A and M. Where else is he visiting? We 751 00:36:58,039 --> 00:37:02,239 were talking about, Yeah, going to Clemson next, which is funny. 752 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,440 You're seeing Clemson. 753 00:37:03,079 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 2: Now finally. 754 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,320 Speaker 6: Contacting him as well. 755 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see. Man. 756 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,599 Speaker 3: I don't know on willhelp, but it would be a 757 00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:12,880 you know, in a news cycle that's been filled the 758 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,800 guys leaving. If you could get commitments from Barry and 759 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,639 Brown and Jakiem Jackson, that is very good. That makes 760 00:37:19,639 --> 00:37:23,559 you a better team objectively than you were previously. So 761 00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:26,239 we'll continue keep and I in those situations, and we'll 762 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,599 continue the show next as you close that hour. 763 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 4: One oh Ton and bound oh Ton and Bound v 764 00:37:50,039 --> 00:37:59,840 Troys and. 765 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: Welcome in to the best morning sports.

Looked it up. 781 00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 5: Urban Meyer is indeed Catholic, and he was named after 782 00:38:58,039 --> 00:38:58,400 that post. 783 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,280 Speaker 2: I just I mean, I guess it's the only way 784 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,000 you're arriving at the first name Urban. 785 00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 6: Right, But he was born in an urban area. 786 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 3: Yeh see, No, that doesn't make any sense.

Take me home. 798 00:39:43,079 --> 00:39:46,159 Speaker 3: Exciting in some ways, certainly very funny. You have Scott 799 00:39:46,159 --> 00:39:48,239 Frost going back to you now Rich Rod back at 800 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,639 WVU and again rich Rod's being good nine and four 801 00:39:51,679 --> 00:39:53,519 back to back years at jack State. Just beat West 802 00:39:53,599 --> 00:39:57,920 Kentucky fifty two to twelve to win CUSA. So someone 803 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,079 who understands modern college football schematically and kind of you know, 804 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,719 where the not politics, where the market place of the 805 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,320 game is that currently I just do wonder as we 806 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,440 watch a school like LSU kind of founder in this 807 00:40:13,559 --> 00:40:18,519 new cash driven age, I do wonder about WVU, because 808 00:40:18,599 --> 00:40:21,920 if there's one thing that you know, West Virginia and 809 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,800 Louisiana have in common, it would be a poor state economy, 810 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,840 brain drain, not a lot of economic opportunity, which I 811 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,320 think are some of the common denominators that are kind 812 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,079 of negatively affecting them in this age. 813 00:40:36,199 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 2: But it makes sense in terms of generating excitement. 814 00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I know McAfee and a lot of his 815 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,639 old WVU teammates from the Golden era were very high 816 00:40:43,639 --> 00:40:46,599 on this move. Pushing this move hard, or Josh Pate 817 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:51,199 talking about the potential of Pat McAfee's nil investment here, 818 00:40:52,519 --> 00:40:55,360 I don't know about that. I'm I'm I'm a bit 819 00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:01,039 on the fence there. I've heard through the grapevine that 820 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,840 sometimes you get him to spin can be a little 821 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,119 a little tough, So I'll be interested to see. But 822 00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:12,519 I think this makes a lot of sense for WVU, 823 00:41:12,639 --> 00:41:16,639 and I desperately hope that it works out. As a 824 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,679 resident WVU fan, you know, all my in laws from 825 00:41:19,679 --> 00:41:22,960 Morningtown and everything and whatnot. Coming up next hour, we're 826 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,000 gonna talk about a potential New Saints owner as Gabe 827 00:41:27,039 --> 00:41:32,679 for Tita Uh, the richest restauranteur in the world. You'll said, 828 00:41:32,679 --> 00:41:36,360 Tilman Fritita, Tilman Fritida. Want to say Gabe, Now that's 829 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:43,360 the Tilman Fertida. Thank you to Catherine. Yeah, I know, 830 00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:47,360 I know. Uh it's a unique last name, right, Uh No, 831 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,880 Tillman Fritida. Thank you to saying that he would be 832 00:41:51,039 --> 00:41:55,079 very intrigued, potentially interested to buy the New Orleans Saints 833 00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:56,559 if they were to come up for sale. Now they 834 00:41:56,559 --> 00:42:00,639 are not for sale now, but they will be, like 835 00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:03,800 we we know that they will be. It is written 836 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,239 into the Benson will. Dennis Laoshia is the executor of 837 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,599 the estate and he is supposed to oversee the sale. 838 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,480 Would they want to sail sooner rather than later? Just 839 00:42:14,519 --> 00:42:17,079 for Tita have the money? Are there other potential names 840 00:42:17,079 --> 00:42:18,360 that could be in the mix of something else that 841 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,519 we'll discuss next hour. And guys, I know many of 842 00:42:20,599 --> 00:42:23,000 you thought that we wouldn't revisit it, but we're gonna 843 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,559 maybe an hour three go back to our movie, our 844 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:31,159 our twelve team Christmas movie bracket and try to set 845 00:42:31,199 --> 00:42:34,760 it and get it ready for the playoffs. 846 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 2: So we'll see. 847 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 3: If you want to get involved.
