Baton Rouge studio.
Speaker 3: It's off the bench.
Speaker 4: All right, Welcome back in an hour Umber three of
ot B here on one O four five ESPN Baton Rouge.
Question inside to buy you four Chat. How is Flynn
prepping for his first OTB road trip for SEC media Days?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a really really good question. Hours of hours
of endless film study, review, local beat writer columns just
getting consumed daily. Actually, none of that's been done. I
always find that the best prep is usually no prep,
just wing it.
Speaker 4: So for media days, you're gonna go to Atlanta, first
time representing ot B, which gonna wing.
Speaker 5: It all right? Really hadn't got the breakdown of what
we're we're gonna be doing. I'm excited about it. I
will prep. I think it starts with learning all the
coaches names, like for sure.
Speaker 2: You got that Jeff Levy, Jeff Levy?
Speaker 5: Is it with it?
Speaker 2: B Levy? Who's the coach at That's what he's saying
you're there.
Speaker 5: I got it.
Speaker 2: You're you're at the finish line.
Speaker 5: I'm at the finish line.
Speaker 4: You once could only go seven of the fourteen, you
now can go sixteen for sixteen.
Speaker 5: Now, I made a commitment, made a commitment to a
show to our listeners. I'm going to be dialed in.
There will be lots of prep happening.
Speaker 3: Were wet with the Cave Club prep.
Speaker 5: Yeah, when it's time, when the lights come on next week,
I know it's I'm sorry, is Friday on this week
or is it next weekday?
Speaker 2: We're doing it Friday. I didn't feel like it feels
more like a Wednesday deal.
Speaker 4: We'll be ready, right, it feels like a Wednesday stay Thursday.
Speaker 5: So I want to do a quarterback breakdown every week
leading up into the season, and I kind of want
to save Cave like towards the end.
Speaker 3: That's the first person I want to.
Speaker 5: Say, the top guys towards the end.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we can go up listen, we can go
in the order of L s U schedule though, all.
Speaker 5: Right, we can do that.
Speaker 3: Any other objections.
Speaker 5: Then we're going to be breaking down a lot of
the not top guys and a lot of news starters,
which I don't want. We want to do. That's hard
to do it.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're only well no, listen, my god, the gate.
Speaker 4: We're only going to break down like the power for
quarterbacks that you're facing. All right, So Clemson K Club, Nick,
you got DJ Lagway from Florida. You got old miss
he's going to have a new starting quarterback. Fine, sim
is going to be in there. Probably, You've got Leonora Sellers,
You've got Diego Pavia, Marcel Reid at a and m
ty Simpson probably at Alabama.
Speaker 6: And there's outside of outside of Austin Simmons, Like, there's
plenty of tap against Georgia.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can go back, and I just don't need
to worry about me. I'm gonna get this segment. We're
gonna crush it. We're gonna break down the top quarterbacks
in the country.
Speaker 2: I'm never worried.
Speaker 4: We're just trying to build you up and let you
know the expectation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 5: Do you want to know about your quarterbacks? The top
quarterbacks in the country.
Speaker 2: It's one per week, got you, that's what you're going
to be an eight week series.
Speaker 5: I got you. But like I told you, all the time.
I'm a businessman and a father. Okay, yeah I am.
I am the same. I am the same.
Speaker 2: I know all right. So next Wednesday, the full breakdown.
Speaker 5: Of Daniel Blunt said to go go blind, trust your instincts.
That's usually how you know, live my life. Let's don't
do that. I hadn't failed me.
Speaker 7: Yets a handful of great questions?
Speaker 2: Seven is it?
Speaker 5: Seven?
Speaker 2: And two good points?
Speaker 5: I had a good point today.
Speaker 2: Doing had you a good point?
Speaker 3: He told you a good point.
Speaker 2: I checked it.
Speaker 5: He had he had a reaction, a positive reaction to
a question. I can't remember the exact words. Yeah, you
got you.
Speaker 8: Have seven good questions. We'll call it one positive reaction.
Speaker 5: One positive action, two good points.
Speaker 4: Okay, you know what I was sitting I was sitting
there and I was thinking, you wanted to kind of
come up with some competition stuff like so like obviously
this is like this is like a brand new O
T B. And you know, we're trying to bring some
new right and get all four of us involved and
have us all four moving in the same direction, which
has been great so far. But when you started thinking
about competitions, I started thinking about maybe some consequences for
who finishes last.
Speaker 5: Sure, absolutely right, And.
Speaker 4: I think after today's show, I think that the consequence
should be you've got to go cover the Oklahoma Temple
game if you lose the competition.
Speaker 7: Yes, I think that's actually.
Speaker 4: Yes, you have to go to Philly. You have to
get credentialed for Oklahoma and Temple.
Speaker 7: So what's the competition because it has to be by
September thirteenth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that it ends. So what's this competition going to be?
Speaker 5: Right? We could? We could make it pure coin flip
and like do NFL preseason pick'ems like wins losses, which
is an absolute cra shoot. Uh, I don't know if
I like this the.
Speaker 2: Content you wanted competition?
Speaker 5: I do. I actually don't want to like simple play Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: Nobody does. That's why it's a consequence. Nobody does, not
even Oklahoma.
Speaker 6: Well, like I was gonna say, for me, this is
a win win, I want to win the competition, but
I'd freaking love Temple in Philly.
Speaker 5: So this is is this a four person competition?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Everything we do moving forward, it's.
Speaker 5: The wolf I do. I want to get some sort
of like uh, you know, turnover chain O T B
turnover chain.
Speaker 8: But what do you Okay, so what do you have
to do to like wear the turnover chain?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe it's going to be the winner of the win,
the winner of the week, winner of the week on
our picks like that.
Speaker 10: So we're we're going to get an O T B chain,
I think so okay, Like anybody listening out there, like
you were the show last we do the if we
want to keep doing it, we do the parlay every
Friday year in football season.
Speaker 8: Whoever has the best picks that week?
Speaker 5: Like it kill it? What's the what is the most funniest?
Speaker 4: Eagles are not at home, by the way, they wouldn't
be at.
Speaker 2: Home if they're going They're going to Arrowhead that week.
Speaker 6: My thought was like, okay, Jalen Hurts will be there
bringing some Eagles fans, but he will be there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if there's a college game on Saturday, the NFL
teams not playing, right unless it was turfed than maybe,
but yeah, what what's the worst fantasy football punishment?
Speaker 3: You'll have to watch the entire season of Love Island.
What Island?
Speaker 2: Taylor would love to do that though.
Speaker 8: No, so Victoria's been watching it. I love Love is blind.
Speaker 2: This one's too cringe, all right, so give me the breakdown.
Is this like the old school Temptation Island used to
be on Fox.
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know what Temptation Island is, but.
Speaker 2: Basically they tried to get the person to cheat on
the other person kind of.
Speaker 7: So like they're all on an island in Fiji and
it's a bunch of strain and they all couple up
on the first night, and then they're also still exploring
other connections. So it gets very messy because they start
like people get jealous. People are like dating other people
right in front of their faces, like kissing them and
stuff like that, so it gets very messy. And then
the host who was on vander Pump rolls. I don't know,
they'll know vander Pump Roules, but she was on there
shoot Arianna Maddics, so she'll come in. By the way,
full disclosure, I'm watching this because everybody around me is
watching it, and I feel like I need to watch it.
And y'all know I love trash TV, but this is
too trashy for me. So they all just start like
dating each other and it gets I don't know, it
gets very very messy and the hosts like she'll do
challenges and you have to like pick a new couple
in front of the couple that you're already with, and
they all sleep like you sleep in the same bed
as your couple.
Speaker 3: So they're all like in a.
Speaker 8: Room and the lights go down.
Speaker 7: They're all in the same room with like a bunch
of little beds. Yeah yeah, and they're all sleeping in
the same bed with their couple.
Speaker 3: And then there's oh, so it's so funny.
Speaker 7: It's so funny because sometimes you'll lose your couple and
then they're like you are now single and vulnerable.
Speaker 8: And I'm like, jeez, i'd like by myself less.
Speaker 7: I know. I think that's the one thing I wouldn't
be able to do that show because I don't like
to like sleep in the same room as other people.
Speaker 8: I don't work back.
Speaker 6: You noticed it first episode. This is the only one
I watched. Like the girls are standing on like these
little platform things.
Speaker 5: Whatever.
Speaker 8: I think, guys, you did it too.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 6: When I'm in the room the girls are standing on platforms.
They'll pull up the guy and they'll be like, hey,
good news. You get to pick two people to go kiss.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and they have to go up there and kiss
them on the cheek.
Speaker 6: I'm like, you're thirty five years old, but middle school
spin the bottle party?
Speaker 8: Like, what in the hell is going on right now?
Speaker 7: Also, just like a very cringe. Everybody on the show
is so embarrassing, and I get secondhand embarrassment, and I'm like,
do people like this really exist?
Speaker 2: I don't love any of this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think that should be your punishment.
Speaker 7: If you lose fantasy football, you have to watch the
entire season a lot of time.
Speaker 2: I say, like, you gotta get a tattoo. It says Wolfpack.
Speaker 3: Ooh kind of like that too.
Speaker 6: You were you were asking about worst fantasy punishments. Saw
one last fall. These guys posted it on Instagram. They
got their friend. They looked like any flight in the
country and they're like, what is the smallest town you
can fly into in the country? And they had to
fly in and spend like a week there in that town.
Couldn't leave. Wow, it's like a random I don't remember
where they went, but I mean it was in the
middle of nowhere, and I will probably yeah, probably, yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. Y'all have like good punishments that y'all have
either done or seen you.
Speaker 2: Know, we want to hear about that too.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't like anything that's like forever. So
we did a really good one a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: Or let me let me draw. If you lose, I
draw the tattoo and you just got to happening. No,
I'm not tattooing.
Speaker 2: I would trust you.
Speaker 5: You shouldn't. I would, but you shouldn't.
Speaker 2: I'll get it. I'll get it tattooed right here on chest.
Speaker 5: It's not that's going. It might go from your chest
to your neck.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe so.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had a good punishment a couple of years
ago in our fantasy football league. Unfortunately the loser never
did it because it was like it was COVID, but
the loser of the league had to go sign up,
pay for and take the act and post his score
to the social media. So I was like, this is
like the greatest idea ever. Yeah, but unfortunately they didn't.
They weren't doing the act. It's like you couldn't go
to public place and uh we you know, we never
came back to it. But I think that's something we
should circle back around to show. How So people like
how like dumb you are as well as an adult
take the act or sat in there with a bunch
of seventeen year olds.
Speaker 6: So I saw somebody do it, but they had to
go to the government might give me money.
Speaker 2: My score would be so low.
Speaker 8: Assistance.
Speaker 6: They made them take the act, but they had to
get a certain score and if they didn't, they had
to retake it until.
Speaker 8: They got the like the score that was yeah, so
it was bad.
Speaker 2: Oh that really?
Speaker 8: I remember one crazy hot but it wasn't low either.
Speaker 6: I mean it was it was probably like I don't
know what twenty four to twenty five, so I mean like.
Speaker 3: That's wait for the act. That's a good score.
Speaker 8: I think they had to get four.
Speaker 3: That is a good score.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wouldn't get that effort. There's no point in
my life there was no peak that was reaching.
Speaker 3: Do you remember the Pacer test?
Speaker 7: No, the Pacer test where it's like you have to
run from one line to the other and it's like
somebody's counting.
Speaker 3: Wait, let me look up.
Speaker 2: The because he's like all right, I need yeah, I
need some information.
Speaker 7: What did you But also you do like different like
the Fitness Gram.
Speaker 2: I taking my freshman summer going into my sophomore year
and then.
Speaker 5: Roger, were you sat?
Speaker 9: So?
Speaker 5: I took SAT, I took both? You took both both?
Speaker 3: Why this do you remember?
Speaker 9: There's a multi stage aerobic capacity test that progressively.
Speaker 2: Difficult as it continues.
Speaker 9: The twenty meters pacer test will begin in thirty seconds.
Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly
but gets faster each minute. After you hear this signal,
a single lap should be completed each time.
Speaker 3: Is there a text.
Speaker 9: Remember to run in a street?
Speaker 2: Never heard it and as.
Speaker 9: Long as possible either have you heard of this the
second time?
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a Texas thing.
Speaker 5: I mean, it sounds familiar, but the test is over.
Speaker 2: The test is the beginning.
Speaker 5: It's like some sort of like nostalgia, but I don't
know if it's from like get Ready. The same voice
as that one classic rock song.
Speaker 7: Where his thoughts on yeah and you're running okay to
the beat.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Well, you're just running and you have to make it
to the line by the time that little chime goes off,
and then you have to run to the next line,
and it.
Speaker 3: Gets faster every time.
Speaker 7: So it's like a fitness test that you had to
take in Pe and you also had to do like
a trunk test to like.
Speaker 2: Kind of run suicides little.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 7: But they're like all the kids have to do it,
and they're timing you, and it's like a fitness test
you to make sure.
Speaker 3: I thought everybody had Yeah, I thought everybody had.
Speaker 8: To do it.
Speaker 2: No, I didn't, but I like it. I might make
my kids do that when I get home. Were such
good shape.
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm in Bilbo in all caps, he said, did
we just call a twenty five a good score on
the act? It is absolutely I think thirty two I
got get perfect.
Speaker 5: I didn't take it.
Speaker 8: You can get to thirty six.
Speaker 5: I think I got it.
Speaker 6: So I got on the on the act, I got
a twenty one, and that was after four tries.
Speaker 5: That scared bad.
Speaker 3: I did first one try.
Speaker 8: Eighteen nineteen nineteen twenty one.
Speaker 5: There twenty one.
Speaker 8: I was like, think, this is clearly the best we're
gonna do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, jump, So done.
Speaker 7: Was twenty But to be fair, I was severely underprepared
and I didn't have a calculator. So the entire math
and science part I had to do with the idea later.
Speaker 2: Going in there without that still got.
Speaker 7: Twenty are yet, But I think the highest you can
give is like a thirty two or something, So I
think twenty five is.
Speaker 5: A really good schol What did you did on the SAT?
Speaker 8: I don't remember, so I didn't. I didn't I didn't
go out to stage. I didn't take the esat.
Speaker 5: Right, I was. I was ten eighty on the SAT.
I think sixteen hundred was perfect. Yeah, I think you
got like six hundred points just for like spelling your
name right and like doing all the other stuff. But
I remember I got like almost perfect on the math part.
But like you know the reason, so the writing, I
hate the reading and like, huh, what'd your score? Ten eighty?
Speaker 8: Oh I don't, man, I don't know where that.
Speaker 5: One and eighty.
Speaker 4: Somebody in the chat said, Zach Morris got a fifteen
one hundred on his SAT.
Speaker 6: Thirty six is the highest you can get, Okay, the
average SAT score a round ten to fifty.
Speaker 7: I was mine was like eleven something. I don't remember exactly.
Speaker 5: The math part, like it scratches the itch for people
that see squirrels a lot, like yeah, so usually Matt.
But like when you get to the reading comprehension this
was like I was an undiagnosed squirrel seer at the.
Speaker 3: Time, undiagnosed squirrels.
Speaker 2: Uh so, a non medicated squirrel seer at the point.
Speaker 5: So yeah, that part I got pretty much a zero on.
There's a lot of stuff that shut it about.
Speaker 4: Shout out to my son Jackson. He's a freshman. He
got a perfect score.
Speaker 2: In the leap.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, I don't know what leap.
Speaker 2: It's a Louisiana okay, like.
Speaker 5: Tax Louisiana Situational Year.
Speaker 2: Adrian Peterson.
Speaker 5: Adrian Peterson, Louisiana Educational Adrian Peterson.
Speaker 2: Sports Show, even though he's from Texas.
Speaker 3: It's fine.
Speaker 2: Thirty two you get a ton for just writing your name.
Speaker 4: That's where half my points came from, half my twenty.
Speaker 5: That's It's the same with it S A T if you.
Speaker 4: Fill it all out for sports. I think you only
had to get a seventeen. Am I wrong in that.
I think it was seventeen.
Speaker 5: I think for to get a scholarship seventeen. Yeah, So
our school, I was part of a handful of kids
they asked to take the s A T in like
seventh grade. It's like as like exploratory and I got
like it's like a seven sixty or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 7: The national average for ACT is twenty to twenty one,
so we're.
Speaker 8: Right there.
Speaker 2: We're average, which we are okay with. Yeah, your average.
Speaker 3: Average, but it's fine. I did it without a calculator.
Speaker 5: Taylor was blow average three times, got the average.
Speaker 2: That's very true. But it's all what you do at
the end, yes, not how you started. Finish.
Speaker 6: You're mentally tough, like the l I took it four times.
My fourth quarter was the best. They said, let's go
go average tatay.
Speaker 4: All right, we will take a break more OTB as

Speaker 1: From players to legends, Kester and Flynn breakdown l s
U Football like only champions can.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm going I'm going.
Speaker 4: Domestic, All right, welcome game OTBS. I figured, since you
know we got a couple of Texans here on the
show with Flynn and Landro, how about this Texas State?
Speaker 2: San Marco's right, yeah, all right, they are going to
move to the PAC twelve. That is expected. So if that.
Speaker 4: Happens, and I know, right, like imagine telling imagine telling
what college age Matt Flynn that Texas State is going
to be in the PAC twelve one day. But that
is the expected move and so if that does happen
in twenty twenty six, the state of Texas will have
FBS teams in the ACC, the American, the Big Twelve Conference, USA,
the Mountain West, the PAC twelve, and the SEC only
missing because Texas State's leaving the Sun Belt, the Big
ten in maction.
Speaker 9: Down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't say that's the S word. I don't
use that, So I'm sorry. I don't say that word.
Speaker 3: You just you just stupid.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like we don't like to say that word. It's
a bad word. What what do you say, dumb?
Speaker 2: Because what's the difference? What do we do?
Speaker 5: Let's keep going?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 8: He's like bath though, move on?
Speaker 5: Thought not great anyway, Texas State was they So what
are they doing right now?
Speaker 2: The little fun Belt?
Speaker 4: And I believe that I saw a report that Louisiana
Tech got denied entry into the Some Belt they were trying. Yeah,
I think like that's only that's on Louisiana Tech though,
because they had an opportunity years ago and they tried
to not go into the same conference as u L
and ULM.
Speaker 2: I think they tried to.
Speaker 4: They thought, like ACOUSTA Conference USA was like a step
above even though really the Sun Belt was more competitive
and they had an opportunity. They didn't take it then,
And I guess the Some Belt's like not remember because
we do.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll say this, Sam Marcus is very very far from.
Speaker 3: The Pacific Coast. Yeah, like very far. The closest coast
to it is the Gulf Coast.
Speaker 2: Some beaches, yeah, well.
Speaker 3: They say they're not beaches. I mean they say, I've never.
Speaker 5: Been to Madre.
Speaker 6: It meets the qualifications technically.
Speaker 5: Taylor and Jake.
Speaker 7: Think that I've never been to a beach before because
I've only been to like Corpus in South Padre Island.
Speaker 2: Been to a beach, You've been to a beach? Team
was like heavy and the.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never been to a beach apparently.
Speaker 4: I will say, like my favorite beaches are in the
like the Panhandle area. Yeah, those are like the nicest ones,
like California beaches. They got cool like cliffs and hills
and rocks, but the beaches themselves not great.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I can see I can see them being dirty.
Speaker 2: Cold, as hell.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the panhat the point about Greenwater San
Marcos not being close to the Pacific. I'm a freaking
Stanford and Col being in the Atlantic Coastal Conference.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't make it sense.
Speaker 2: It's just to me, this is a step too far.
Like all of this is just it's a step too
what we what do we do.
Speaker 4: Like, get Stanford and Col. Swallow your pride, go back
to the PAC twelve. You're never gonna win anything in
the ACC. That makes no sense to travel as far
as y'all are.
Speaker 5: We talk about like the people on the West Coast
joining the ACC, and we talk about all the all
the other sports outside of football and their budgetary and
how are they going to get there and the travel
and they're playing multiple games a week. But at least
a lot of those schools are bigger schools with higher budgets.
At least I have a hard time believe in Texas
State can fly volleyball, tennis, Like why all these people
out there multiple times back and forth? I mean that's
I mean, it's insane, right.
Speaker 7: It makes no sense to me, like at all, So
what do we even have conferences?
Speaker 4: PAC twelve like the new PAC twelve thinks they're gaining
from Texas State. And I'm not trying to throw shade
towards them, but it's not like they're in like a
major TV.
Speaker 7: Mark one hundred percent like and also again you're going
from the Sun Belt, which there are people that care
about it, but not as strongly as like maybe the
SEC or the ACC or even like schools that are
currently in the pac twelve. But it just, yeah, what
do you gain from it? And it makes no sense
and what do we even have conferences for now if
they're not like again where Texas State is nowhere near
the Pacific coast, it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 8: I think at this point the pack twell is just
trying to gain teams.
Speaker 3: Anything well obviously, but like here's.
Speaker 5: The raffle will pull an aim out.
Speaker 6: Or state state, Boise State, san Diego State, Colorado State,
Utah State, Fresno State, and now Texas State. That's okay,
that's not it, that's not Holy State. Yeah, everything in there, Yeah,
like everything's.
Speaker 2: The state of them.
Speaker 4: Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State,
San Diego State, Utah State, Texas State.
Speaker 2: That's why they added them. They won't hit the bingo card.
Speaker 5: The state just be the state conference, the state twelve.
Speaker 2: Uh gonzag is also a non football member. Correct, Yeah,
because they don't have a football team.
Speaker 5: I just of the logistics behind Yeah, all sports, year long,
traveling to play on a Thursday. Like how does that even?
Like financially speaking for Texas State, Like I'm sure they
got good, good alumni boosters, but good good lord Son Despine.
It is a beautiful campus. It's in the hill country,
one of like the top my top places to go.
Speaker 2: So how about love the hell Country?
Speaker 4: How about this for the Mountain West now, because a
lot of those teams are probably like, well, what's the
Mountain West now?
Speaker 2: Uh? So the football.
Speaker 4: Members, it looks like Air Force, UNLV, Nevada, New Mexico,
San Jose, State, Wyoming, Hawaii, Utah non football members you
see Davis Grand Canyon and ball only member. Because when
I think mountains, I think Northern Illinois.
Speaker 6: Oh I mean yeah, why not the Husband big Mountain,
Big Mountain Country.
Speaker 2: I missed that one. What like, what are we doing?
I don't what are we doing?
Speaker 4: It's not just these comments, I mean like when the
Big ten added Oregon and u c l A, like,
you know, kind of going back at least the SEC
at least like you can start in one state drive
to every SEC school and not go into a state
where there's not an SEC school. Like at least it's
like the map still has some integrity to.
Speaker 2: Jesus, Well we go through Arkansas, Yeah you do.
Speaker 7: But like I just I'm not saying like if there
was one team that I would be.
Speaker 3: Like it would be but yes, I used, I.
Speaker 2: Still doesn't know they're in the SEC.
Speaker 5: Exactly, Zuri, the you know now will never ever recognize
them as an SEC both. Sorry, I mean, at this point,
you know, it's just like being stubborn. You gotta draw
a line in the sand. At some point you gotta
stand for. If you don't stand for something, it'll fall
for anything. Okay, took me a second, there was it was, yeah,
you ain't gonna hold me twice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I watched this draft.
Speaker 3: That watched this draft again.
Speaker 4: Oh that look that shout out Texas state, I guess,
but yeah, that one makes like I would good for me,
Like I am much more intrigued with the Sun Belt
than I am the Mountain West in the PAC twelve
because like those teams are in like a region for
the most part, like a bulk of those teams.
Speaker 2: Are in a region.
Speaker 4: They've got like, you know, times they can pull from
the past at a rivalry situations like nobody's getting fired
up for Texas State and Colorado State, you know, and honestly,
like Northern Illinois and Hawaii. Oh man, that's going to
be a game. What they are going to have Hawaii
travel to Illinois in November to leave.
Speaker 8: Three days before the game? You know how long that is?
Speaker 5: I mean the PAC.
Speaker 6: Twelve though, like seventy two hours. Not bad football conference.
Speaker 5: You imagine just like the diving team having a fly
all that way just for like a little.
Speaker 10: Like a little dive, like yeah, dip in the pool,
right back out.
Speaker 2: Just two dives. Yeah, and then you gotta go thou my.
Speaker 5: First dive, I got cut the first round.
Speaker 2: It's not good.
Speaker 3: That is insane.
Speaker 8: It is.
Speaker 7: It just doesn't make sense to me. But you say,
like what does that do for the PAC twelve. I
also kind of don't get what it does for Texas
State either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think that now, like depending on TV
deals like dollars and cents of it. I know, the
PAC twelve has a deal. I guess, yeah, the new deal.
Speaker 4: The new PAC twelve has to deal with the the
CW between Dawson's Creek and Seventh Heaven, and then they've
got another one. Y gosh, yeah, it's they got another
network that's tied to the CW package for the PAC twelve,
And so that's why they would do it.
Speaker 2: Even though still for the fans, I'm sure much rather go.
Speaker 4: Drive and watch them play Ull than they would want
to watch them play Colorado.
Speaker 2: State, I would think so.
Speaker 5: So did you rather watch that or Oklahoma versus Doyle
Dawson's Creek Dalson's Creek, Sure that.
Speaker 2: Are known as Pacy's Creek.
Speaker 4: All right, we will take a break more OTB when

Speaker 4: Hright, Welcome back again, O TV one O four five
ESPN Ben Rouge here on Friday morning.
Speaker 2: A couple more segments here.
Speaker 5: I'd like to say something here. We're a little over
one week away from one of the greatest sports events
all year long. Next Saturday starts the Tour de France.
You'll know I've been dying to talk about this. I
can't wait to come into the studio and do the show.
And we're gonna figure out how to get the Towur
de France on right on that TV. I can feel it.
I can feel you a Landra. You're excited, You're excited
with it.
Speaker 3: Could not be more excited.
Speaker 2: I tell you, I moved my microphone because I knew I.
Speaker 5: Know well, I know you did. We have an ultimate
matchup coming. So in the last five years only two
people have won. Letdor okay. So we got the top
rider in the world today, Pagatcha with Team UAE Team Emirates.
He won last year, but the two years before that
his rival Jonas Vingago won two years in a row,
and then today had won the year two years before that.
So the last five tyday Pagatcha three, Jonas Fingergo two.
They're going again head to head this year. Two of
the greatest teams, the two greatest Riders had to head
battle for the yellow jersey.
Speaker 8: Got early prediction who we got.
Speaker 5: I'm a big today fan. Now he's kind of like,
you know, being a fan of the best player, you know,
but for multiple years. So like today, Pagatcha he won
in as a young rider. He won in twenty twenty
and twenty twenty one, and like at the time, like
the other team, Oh, Jake, what are you doing? He's
doing pushing up? Sorry. So at the team at that time,
Jonas finger Goo, he was on the team with the
big It was like the It's like the Dodgers. So
they had the most money, they could go buy the
best players, blah blah blah. So they built a team
basically to defeat Today by himself, and their team did
not have the budget. So it was basically the best
rid versus the best team. So you won, and the
best team won two years in a row. So Today's
team had to say, all right, we got this. We
got to spend some money. They came back, built their
team up, built their team up to take them on.
Last year was a collision course boom. It was exciting. Today.
What's his last name? I gotcha?
Speaker 8: I hate to tell you I'm for the Vindigo. Yeah,
his name is.
Speaker 5: Cooler, Jonas Vingago, cool name from Denmark today from Slovenia.
Speaker 8: Slovenians are tough and they.
Speaker 2: Gotta think European known for the grit and.
Speaker 5: I think I haven't not updated on their current rosters
right now. But Jona's fingergo. He did have a really
a top American on his team. So not a big deal.
Speaker 2: True, honestly, it's not.
Speaker 7: You're right, So we're talking random sports UFC three seventeen.
That's not random, though, but it's not what we usually
talk about.
Speaker 5: And I'm getting ready to get ready for the tour. Talk.
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, Hey, take that energy that your your brain
uses for the tour, for the PGA tour, and I
need you to throw that college football's way.
Speaker 5: Oh it's got it.
Speaker 8: Throw all that into kid club Nick.
Speaker 7: Yeah, let's just get one breakdown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just get a breakdown.
Speaker 5: Look, I've been underestimated, underestimated my whole life, all right, Bigody,
I told you I got the jitter. I got big
jitters right now, I've got a lot of coffee.
Speaker 2: You already changed it to Bigody. Yeah. I do like
Bagody though, big big big Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, UFC family number on right now, three seventeen. Yeah,
because the big one three, the big one, I will
be at credential three eighteen.
Speaker 3: I did. I did it like I.
Speaker 7: Was like on a whim, let me try to get
approved for like a media account. So I like, you
have to get approved for an account first and then
you can request a credential. And I waited like three
weeks to get approved for the credential and I finally
got it, and I was like, let's go.
Speaker 3: I said it to y'all like immediately.
Speaker 7: The three seventeen Tomorrow, the main card is Taporia versus
Charles Olivera. Iliot Taporia is probably, like to me, about
to become the face of the UFC, Like he is entertaining.
He's a well rounded fighter, He's all the things that
you need. He moved up in weight class, so that's
kind of what you need in the UFC right now.
So I'm excited about it. He is a heavy favorite
minus four forty in the fight.
Speaker 2: Oh he's minus four forty.
Speaker 3: Olivera's plus three forty.
Speaker 7: I was telling ya during the yeah, yes, And I
was telling y'all during the break that by decision Olivera
by decision is like plus.
Speaker 3: Seventeen fifty. I think it was last I looked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're probably going to.
Speaker 7: Be yeah, well, I actually think.
Speaker 2: That is probably still pretty high.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 8: So o TV be Yeah, I may have to sprinkle
a little bit on a I.
Speaker 10: Kind of want to put so I kind of want
to put bucks of personal crap dust it.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm down. Yeah, I do think Toporia takes it,
but that is all left. Yeah, Olive Earra is.
Speaker 2: On the right. The tea in his chest probably.
Speaker 3: My Spanish king, which he's actually like Georgian.
Speaker 2: That's actually wow, it's like a split tiger's face.
Speaker 7: I do love Charles Olivera though, Like I'm a really
big Olivera.
Speaker 2: Fan in the game a long time.
Speaker 7: Yes, But like in terms of newer people, I really
like Tapouria. Him and Patty the Batti are probably the
two most entertaining uh new wish people on there. Let's
see what knockout for Olive Earra is.
Speaker 2: That's what I think we need to sprinkle.
Speaker 7: Uh Taporia to win by knockouts minus one seventy five,
Olivera to win by knockouts plus eleven hundred.
Speaker 3: That my decision, my decisions down to fourteen hundred.
Speaker 5: Let's do the plus eleven hundred things.
Speaker 7: Okay, we could do to Olivera by knockout plus eleven
hundred perfect, I'm down with that.
Speaker 5: Well, twenty piece shared bet here?
Speaker 8: How much would we how much would we win on twenty.
Speaker 2: So what what did you say?
Speaker 3: The final number was plus eleven hundred?
Speaker 2: All right, it's just twenty times eleven two forty.
Speaker 3: We'd win two forty if we put twenty on it.
Speaker 8: I'm bad, all right, Get a couple of burgers with that.
Speaker 2: Hey, where you getting your burgers from?
Speaker 8: I said, A couple?
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean a lot, a lot of burgers,
a lot of supper club I guess somewhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so wag you burgers?
Speaker 5: Like Coachoe's interview and he said, talking about his his
by eyes, Yeah, a bunch of cheezburgers.
Speaker 8: I mean, he's living his best, not a bad way to.
Speaker 2: Living life.
Speaker 7: I do feel like these lines are kind of disrespectful
to Olavera, though.
Speaker 2: Man, I know he's I know he's on the other
side of it, but he's he's.
Speaker 7: Still I mean, his fight against Chandler was the last
fight that he had that went to a decision, but
it was like an incredibly entertaining fight, So like I
get it, but these these lines feel very disrespectful to
Oliver Era.
Speaker 8: Is minus odds but I knock out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's minus one seventy five.
Speaker 8: That's that's big odds for Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean, Oli of Air is like a submission artist,
so like that might be the best bet. That one
is plus seven fifty, so not a final, like not
a lot of.
Speaker 3: Juice on that one, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's more than we had before.
Speaker 3: These lines feel disrespect You want.
Speaker 5: To talk about betting lines, guys, I hope you're sitting down.
Oh god, Todd Pacha minus two fifty to win the
Tour de France, whoa were you kidding me? Jonas Vinga
go plus two twenty, Well, the chance of like bike wrecks.
You know you might have taken it.
Speaker 7: We just got a yeller stupid in the chat trying
to figure out why. Probably because he keeps bringing up
Tour de France.
Speaker 5: But maybe because we're taking a plus eleven hundred bet.
That's probably I mean, yeah, obviously not about.
Speaker 7: I'm not saying I'm not saying that that's what's gonna happen,
because I don't think that's what's gonna happen. But if
you want something with some juice, with the possibility, I
would plus seven fifty.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's enough for y'all, but.
Speaker 5: I'll take that.
Speaker 2: We'll take it all right. We'll take our last break
of the show.

Speaker 5: I'm upset that I cannot make it. I don't even
think I sent my rs VPN for me personally, there's
anybody people don't because usually text each other. Consider this,
my rs VP.
Speaker 4: Probably ask the bench what kind of tier list do
we have on the docket for this dead period before
football starts. I would love to bring back Tearless Season.
But here's the here's the deal. If we bring it back,
all four of us have to be committed to the science.
We have to be committed to giving our real, honest,
rale opinions. And we can't just say that's fine, throw
it up there.
Speaker 3: I have no problem giving my opinion on stuff.
Speaker 5: I'm committed.
Speaker 2: I don't believe that you're committed committed. That's right, we'll
fact throw it up with back.
Speaker 5: Let's consider this the scene for Rudy where I'm putting
my jersey.
Speaker 4: On the table, all right, for the Tearless Yeah, apparently
Rudy that never happened according to Joe Montana.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't think a lot of his teammates
are big fans.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Favorite way to eat crabs? Like, what what do you mean?
I don't know.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you question.
Speaker 8: My favorite version of crab is crabcakes.
Speaker 2: How about that? A better way to crab cake?
Speaker 6: But there's not case you're absolutely no cake in case
you're confused, no cake in it?
Speaker 8: Actually?
Speaker 5: Uh? I like you know, they put they put crab
in like sushi rolls like that. I hot take here.
I know South Louisia. I'm not the biggest fan of
crab boils because like I'd much rather crawfish boiled just
because it's just a pain. Well, yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: Easy to eat.
Speaker 5: It's like it's not a big reward either, like if
you do it good.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Asd bench Logan, Paul loaned his five million dollar
p s A ten Pikachu to Fanatics Fest for them
to display it, and someone messed with the case and
knocked it over. How mad would you be? Five million
dollars no respect?
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I hain't cuffing that puppy to me
in a briefcase.
Speaker 5: I've seen him have it on his like a chain
where it connects to his chain. But I'm sure it's
got like protection on him. That's why you get it
in this case.
Speaker 2: Isn't graded so it protects it in the slabs. In
the slab there you go, got a girl, look at you?
Speaker 4: What song do you listen to before a game? You
get hyped up? Shadow of the Sun my audio slips.
Speaker 5: Sat on the Sun was my last song I listened
to before I took the field From two thousand and
five all the way through twenty fifteen.
