upset about it, because we were out all week. Alandra

really cool interviews all week and uh got a season
cool practices too, So we had a great time, Laundra,

Speaker 3: Really good? I thought it was great. It was so
much fun. It was a great experience.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 3: We did get to talk to some cool people like
Tyron Montgomery. That was like one of the coolest stories
that came out of that. And the practices were surprisingly
a lot of fun as well. I had a good
time sitting there watching them. It was cold, but still
had a good time.
Speaker 5: Yeah. It's uh.
Speaker 4: You don't think of practices as being like fun to
go and fun, but they were.
Speaker 5: I mean when you get the best of the best
kind of together.
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh, and you get to watch it and then
you have to sit by me who is just like
rittling off mumblings about quarterback mechanics and form.
Speaker 3: She's okay, I like processing. I learned it and now
I know I guessers. I was asking questions too.
Speaker 4: You were absolutely Taylor, How did you go here? How
was it in the studio, zies I, Yeah, how'd you think?
How'd you feel about the Tyro Montgomery interview?
Speaker 5: I enjoyed it.
Speaker 6: I didn't know, you know, when he sat down, he
kind of seemed shy at first move. We were like,
you know, small school, got didn't do a ton of interviews,
how is he going to be? And then blew us away?
I mean every like he had like the four minute answer.
I had to cut the short tag him. I couldn't
cut it down until less than two minutes, and Paul's like, oh,
can you make a little shorter. I was like, I
don't know if I want to, like yeah, so I
kept at it two minutes.
Speaker 3: We did ask for him and they were like, well,
no one else has asked for him, so yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The media handlers we were like, does there anybody I
want to see this morning? And that was the first
time they had asked this. Because it was their first time,
you could tell they were younger people. They were trying
to out there to handle interns handlers for all these
players in the media obligations and apparently they didn't have
any obligations. They came and did it if they were requested,
but like they were like, yeah, we'd like to get turned.
And they're like, I'm sure love to do it. That's
that's a D three guy, right. Yeah. Yeah, he hadn't
got anybody to request them all week. I'm sure he'd
love to fantastic.
Speaker 3: We're like, well, we want him.
Speaker 4: No, Well, I was like, we definitely want him because
we had because the laundry, because the two practices in
a row, the kid had flashed, like big time flashed.
There was some incredible plays at receiver. Uh and just
not only like the plays that flashed, but after he
made the first play, I watched his route running and
really really good, really smooth, explosive, got it out of breaks,
really well, sold like that, like the little things like
he would sell, like the go route and before he
ran a start like he just good lean, good body presence.
Speaker 5: And we get the story.
Speaker 4: And when he was at Nichols they called him YouTube
because he learned everything about playing receiver from YouTube, which
is a fascinating story.
Speaker 5: So did job. We're all able to catch the game. Yeah,
I watched it. I watched some of them. Weekends are
tough at the Flint household.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kids watched lots of kids pushing and pulling for sure,
which is a fantastic thing.
Speaker 3: Did win his Super Bowl?
Speaker 5: Did not? No, it's okay. We got there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really cute that it was at Elite
Training Academy and they made this big deal about it.

a halftime show. But it was really cute. They got everybody.

it was here for years, but not like not like
one artist, Well this is two.
Speaker 5: Two artists. No, when did they stop doing the Buy
You Country super was? I think it was nineteen? I

one got it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, then they moved it to New Orleans for a
year and they were like, we're gonna move it back,
moved it back to Tiger Stadium for a year, and
that was it.
Speaker 4: I didn't do the Garth Brooks concert, and I kind
of and I regret not doing it.
Speaker 5: I don't regret my reasonings at the time, but just
because like it's a lot of people, you know, so
many people, a lot of people.
Speaker 3: But I used to live walking distance.
Speaker 6: Oh really yeah, yeah, I'm kind of with you.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 6: My my best friend had actually an extra ticket.
Speaker 5: I was like, you wanted.
Speaker 6: I was like, wow, I'm good.
Speaker 3: That was a legendary. Oh. I was like in the front,
not on the field, but I was like right in
the front. I could try to find a picture.
Speaker 5: Where were your turn I don't know. I don't know
they were. They were in the stands.
Speaker 6: They weren't they weren't field level, they were in the stands.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't know, like an exact section. I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 5: It was fine.
Speaker 4: Older, I've got the more of that. That plays a
factor in my decisions.
Speaker 3: Where the seats are.
Speaker 4: Well, where the seats are I think that's spoiled. Yeah,
what's my exit strategy? Yes, that's really kind of where
I'm at and decision makings. I'm sure they got it
figured out. It's not that I wouldn't go.
Speaker 5: I would.
Speaker 6: I would just be very particular about who I saw
with that many people.
Speaker 5: In the front, I'll look at you. Yeah, I had
a good da.
Speaker 3: Yeah m hmm. Legendary, legendary Garth quake.
Speaker 5: But yeah did they make it? Did they? Did they do?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Earthquake situation good for them. Yeah.
Speaker 3: When we were in Nashville at Friends and Low places,
they had like a whole mural of the Garth quake.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like going up the stairs. There's a whole mural.
But yeah, the post Malone show should be awesome. Posting
in the open air of Tiger Stadium. It is gonna
be April, but it'd be great. No May.
Speaker 5: Oh Tiger Stadium, ye, fill be there, big gas stadium tour,
like a stadium tour if I can get in that
early enough. Oh.
Speaker 6: I've only had to do a virtual view one time.
Speaker 5: Wait, what is a virtual cue?
Speaker 6: It was the concert that I didn't even wind up
going to. So it was you basically just get in,
like you go to Ticketmaster or something, they'll send your code,
they'll send you an email when the ques open, you
click it. You literally just wait. It's like your next
in line, and then when you're next, it takes you
straight to the ticketmaster and you purchase the tickets. That's
what it did for me. It was the uh it
was a Morgan Walling show at Houston and we were
going with uh some of Victoria's good friends. But it
was when he got sick and had to cancel and
rescheduled the tour, and I couldn't go during the rescheduled date,
so I just got my money back.
Speaker 5: That was the first time I'd ever heard the name
Morgan wall was when he canceled that Houston thing and
everybody is poop on him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I was. I was going, So I just
I had the tickets and everything.
Speaker 3: But is this before or after the chairs chairs?
Speaker 5: This was.
Speaker 6: All about the same time.
Speaker 3: Great, he was on a run.
Speaker 5: He was on a run run.
Speaker 6: Okay, remember the Oxford show that he had to cancel. Yes,
this was after that. I don't know where the chairs
fall into play there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was around the same time.
Speaker 4: I went to the biggest concert I've been to in
a long time. At least was the went to the
Boots on the Bayou.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Last it was Morgan Wallen's concert and Gulf Shores last May.
They're not doing it this year for whatever reason. But
that was like that was a big one.
Speaker 5: That was a lot of.
Speaker 4: People, and I didn't know if I was going to
enjoy it because of the amount of people he did,
but I did, so I think I might have like
I might have put away that phobia.
Speaker 3: I used to have, Like I used to not like
him and his music was catchy to me, but I
just was not, like I wasn't like super into him,
you know, and I was like whatever Morgan woman, like
who cares? And then I went to one of his
shows and I was like I love this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he was great. So I didn't know a
lot about him before I went to the concert even
last year. Now I heard like the popular songs. Yeah,
I hadn't heard anything everything else. But like, so there's
a lot of people there, and we had these nice
seats or they weren't seats, that nice area to go
stand in and it was like a missed concert near
the beach, and it was a wild, wild like two
or three days. Like dip Low performed one night, which
was awesome, but they had like three different stages set up.
But I did not enjoy the amount of people that
were trying to stand in my personal space. So I
had to like just back away. I'm like, I don't
care about being near the stage. So I'm just gonna
like back away, give myself for a worse position, but
I'm not going to have people like rub it up
against me.
Speaker 6: It's a standing concert. I do that every time, every time.
Speaker 4: And so the people I were with were like, you know,
like they're they're a little bit more okay with people,
okay with like getting in the in the middle of things.
Speaker 5: They're like, yeah, we need to get let's go get
close to the stage.
Speaker 3: You don't really need to do.
Speaker 5: Not me, not man.
Speaker 4: We go stand by the porta potties back here, I
have to anyway, It's not gonna be like that Attiger Stadium.
It's gonna be great. All right, Well, how do we
feel about this week? What do you mean tripod riding
all week?
Speaker 3: I feel great? Oh yeah, this is the superior tripod
that people have spoken.
Speaker 5: That's true.
Speaker 6: It was like sixty eight percent like it was. It
wasn't like we go to a close.
Speaker 5: No top two and it wasn't two.
Speaker 4: Try all right, Well, we got a lot of sports
to get to, so many, so many sports. There's like
scoff on TV. Yeah, a little bit of basket start
balls about to start but hasn't.
Speaker 3: But not quite yet.
Speaker 4: So we might throughout this week we might go through
every single potential prop bet for the Super Bowl. Yeah,
we'll go through a lot of those. Yes, I saw
some interesting ones over the weekend. So but anyway, we
got some LSU basketball fantastic week. So we'll talk about
that when we get back and all sorts of stuff.

fired each and every Monday, our show is gonna be
brought to buy you for and happy Groundhogs Day everybody,
big deal.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm yeah, why not?
Speaker 6: I was carrying myself a little different this morning. Didn't
know why so, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, yep, that's right, punks and Tony Phil sitting in
his little groundhog hole or cage whatever he sits in.
Speaker 5: Uh do we know when he comes out?
Speaker 6: I think it's just whenever.
Speaker 5: He whenever he feels doesn't oh, he's coming out.
Speaker 6: But I think there was one year they came out there,
like guys, he we don't know.
Speaker 4: We literally don't know what the weather's going to do.
Now because he hasn't come out. I think they poked him.
Speaker 5: They got to poke him well, smoke him out, smoke
him out, poke him out.
Speaker 6: Trouble, little trouble, little smoke bomb in there.
Speaker 5: What what could they do to get him out of that?
Think that wouldn't piss Pete off?
Speaker 6: Nothing like hissed off about everything.
Speaker 3: A little treat or something. I don't know what groundhog's eat,
but they.
Speaker 6: It's it's it's Peter.
Speaker 4: He sees his shadow. Six more weeks of summer winter. Yeah, winter,
that's what I said. If he doesn't, it's going to
be an early spring. Is this accurate?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's what they say. Is a groundhog
or roading?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just a large road.
Speaker 6: It looks like one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what what classify as a road and a road? It?
Speaker 6: If it vaguely looks like a rat to me, it's squirrels, rats, mice,
any invasion, anything that's invasive. I guess an invasive is
a groundhog invasive not to your house, but your property.
Maybe red it'll big holes that'll do all that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a mole. Yeah, I guess that was the same thing.
We should look this up.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, he saw his shadow. I can't do
this for six more weeks.
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: But he's only right thirty five percent of the time,
where it's a fifty to fifty shot.
Speaker 6: You know, I don't think I was going to take
Old Phil's advice anyways. It's really cold, so I'm just
gonna assume that it's going to continue to be winter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this this cold weather, it's cute for a little while.
It's it's fine, it's it's good to like, it's good
to feel what the people up north feel for a
little bit. But it's the sustaining of this cold weather.
I'm tired of dripping faucets. Have you succumbed to it? Taylored?
Have you been dripping?
Speaker 5: So? Yeah?
Speaker 6: So that was actually a lot of me. She didn't
drip her by a girl. I have succumbed to it.
Speaker 3: I don't know how to live we Uh.
Speaker 6: Also, I want you to understand that, uh, I'm married,
and my wife's gonna make me do things like that
even if I don't want to.
Speaker 5: Uh huh.
Speaker 6: So, yes, I have been dripping my faucets.
Speaker 4: I'm tired of because like I've I forgot a few times,
maybe not all of them, but like last night I
forgot to go like up upstairs to our kids room
and drip their faucets. Now, luckily nothing happened. You know what,
I also didn't know you gotta drip the hot water
as well, do you so? In our sink yesterday? In
our in uh my wife and I bathroom. The cold
water is running because I dripped it, but the hot
water wouldn't run.
Speaker 5: It was frozen. I don't know what it was. I
don't know if it was like the water heater. We
have one of that. We have a tankless water here,
so I don't know if that like froze up overnight.
Speaker 4: This wouldn't run. Now, it thought out and it worked
at the end of the day. So I didn't have
any leaks or anything. Anyway, cold weather, it's it's been cute.
It's been real and I hope you're staying safe out there.
Speaker 5: Time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we were out and about yesterday, I mean Victoria
like all day and I was like, I'm done with this.
Like the wind awful, Like I think yesterday was coldest
today we've had this year. I know everybody talked about
Monday Tuesday. Yesterday was awful. The wind was terrible.
Speaker 5: What's it?
Speaker 6: The feels like guy had a big day yesterday.
Speaker 4: It was a big day for the fields. Like, okay,
so what speaking of groundhog? Groundhog's Day? So what makes
a rodent a rodent? Because I know it's a mammal, right,
it's its defining dental features a single pair of continuously
growing incisors or front teeth on both the upper and
lower jaws. So they have to have big old choppers
on the front and bottom. That's what makes them a rodent.
Speaker 5: So I guess that helps being invasive, Taylor, So you
might have nailed it. Two big chompers in the front,
big chompers.
Speaker 6: Speaking of cold weather, I heard something last night best
news I've heard in weeks. This is the World of
All places had a ton of busted pipes because they
didn't cover them correctly.
Speaker 5: Are you serious? Yep. That's a lot of pipes to cover.
That's a lot of Foster's to drip. That's awesome.
Speaker 6: Disney, the just the massive monopoly that they are. Nobody's
perfect guys. Busted pipes everywhere.
Speaker 5: That's a lot of damage.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Do you think they got like plumbers on staff are
going to fix that? I think about the Mickey costume.
Speaker 1: Go.
Speaker 4: Do you think when they have to have like a
bit this is this is a real question, isn't like Disney,
y'all might not be the people we need we need
t Bob for this, but like in Disney, like like
its own like municipality, like in in Florida, like it
has like its own.
Speaker 6: That is ridiculous enough to where it's probably true.
Speaker 3: Right, no, no, no, okay, But it operates.
Speaker 4: Like one, oh, if they need it, if Disney, if
they Disney needs to do some big job, like if
they have like pipes busted all the place and they
have to like do put government bid for this?
Speaker 5: Woman? Do they have to put out a government bid?
Speaker 6: Oh no, they're bringing in their own bring them.
Speaker 5: They're gonna go around that.
Speaker 3: This is saying no, But the way that it operates
is really feeling like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've kind of heard.
Speaker 3: Because it can lend me its own taxes, it can
control its own infrastructure.
Speaker 6: Who's their mayor? The mayor of Disney, Mickey Mickey.
Speaker 3: Or freeze his head whenever they need to.
Speaker 6: Make decisions, I don't know who it is.
Speaker 5: And while it's still frozen this so they're like, well,
don't do anything if you want disapproves, and he just
doesn't do.

Uh did all anybody catch this game? I caught the
end of it. I caught the overtime period. Okay, I
like did so it was it was close to tide
at halftime, so it was kind of a back and forth.
Speaker 5: One. All right, so we go to overtime. What happens?
Speaker 6: What was when you started out started out on fire?
I mean they were, they were running the floors everything.
Speaker 5: I mean.
Speaker 6: South Carolina scored a couple of late points in that
overtime period to actually get it a little closer. I
thought LSU looked like the more aggressive team and overtime
and that helped them. Like I understand, this is not
a good basketball team by any means, but they did
the things in this game. Granted against a bad team,
I understand that, but you were close against Ark and
so you lost by four points at the end of
the game. Against Kentucky, you were up big there, you
had an epic collapse and lost that game. I get
that it's it's not against a great team, but guess what,
you're not a great team, and you did what you
had to do to win an SEC game. Now, can
you stream through four of these in a row together
and maybe maybe get back to something respectable. That's the
next step. But I mean, I at least appreciate that
they were aggressive down the stretch because they have not
been recently.
Speaker 4: What I find impressive I I can't like sit here
and lie and say I was, I was locked into
the game or anything, But like what I find impressive,
just from like a player standpoint and mentality standpoint, is
nothing's gone your way this year. You've lost games that
you've been in that you should have win. You lost
games that you may be on paper you shouldn't have lost.
And it hadn't been good. The last loss you had
last week was embarrassing. Your coaches on the hot seat.
Don't know what's going to happen with all that you know,
all this stuff, all these people the people, but not
being in the stands. Like there's a lot of reasons
for these kids not to play hard, but they did
and they found a way to win. And uh, you
had a lot of quotes for McMahon after the game
and talking and like legitimately excited for his team and
the way.
Speaker 5: They bounce back.
Speaker 4: So so, you know what, life's too short not to
celebrate the victory.
Speaker 5: So the LSU get a victory.
Speaker 4: LSU basketball team beat South Carolina in over time, So
congratulations to them. Hopefully they can shrink it together, put
something respectable on tape and on paper for the LSU
Tiger fans, maybe get a few more butts in the
stands and the PMAC when they play. So but like
I said, celebrate the wins this year have been few
and far between, and the SEC play at least and uh,
but for this moment in time, LSU gets a win.
I believe their fourteenth win of the season. So congrats
to the LSU basketball team. Keep it up, boys, keep fighting,
keep fighting the good fight. Let's get respectable. Let's go
get a big win. Give us some cheer for all right,
We're gonna go break word to come back and we'll

Speaker 5: Open up the computer. You see, LSU got two victories
in basketball women's men's. We just talked about the men's
congratulations then keep it up. Gave something to cheer about.
But the Lady Tigers they keep on doing it. Number
six Lady Tigers.
Speaker 4: Uh, they take down number twenty four Alabama, and they
do it in pretty spectacular form.
Speaker 5: Uh forty.
Speaker 4: It won about forty forty points in an SEC game
versus top twenty five team, pretty decent, one hundred and
three to sixty three.
Speaker 5: That is seven victories.
Speaker 4: In a row, twenty one and two overall record for
the Lady Tigers, seven to two in SEC play. Absolutely,
it gave him a we call that a proper.
Speaker 3: Butt whipping, a can a butt whip?
Speaker 5: A butt whip.
Speaker 6: That actually seems like it would be a real thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Second, the first time I've ever heard of the
butt whip out like.
Speaker 6: Butt paste.
Speaker 5: That's uh, that's a little cream.
Speaker 2: Cream.
Speaker 5: That's right. Well, but but I was like somewhere, somebody
something incorrectly.
Speaker 3: And it went to that, Well, seven wins.
Speaker 5: In a row, Well, Obama, they are else.
Speaker 4: You put them in some diapers this week. And so
they played Texas Thursday night. But what a game, man,
their second best Texas, Yeah, fourth ranked Texas, believe beat them.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: L s U has a win over.
Speaker 3: Went over that's when VIC started.
Speaker 6: Yet schedule in the n c C is too tough.
Imagine that gets some imagine.
Speaker 5: It is some butt web, Sure it does.
Speaker 6: Lord, the story of L s U beat Alabama like incredible, right,
sixty three points? Like to me, sixty three is more
impressive number than the one o three, Like you hold
a top twenty five team to that in a basketball game.
But look at what they've done in those seven wins
in a row, right, because everyone hit the panic button
when they were zero to two in SEC play. But
you lost to number eighteen Kentucky by two points. You
lost to number five Vanderbilt by four. Since then we
mentioned you beat number four Texas. You beat Georgia, who
was top twenty five, by twenty one points. You beat Oklahoma,
who was ranked in the top ten, by eighteen points,
and you roll over Texas A and M, who's not
a good basketball team. You still beat them by forty.
You roll over Florida, they're not good either, But then,
I mean, you beat Alabama by forty. It's not just
who you're beating, it's the way you're beating this team.
Like it's weird to say that a top ten team
coach by Kim Baulk might actually be underrated, but they
might actually be. Like find me six teams right now
or five teams that are playing better than this team
right now. Like you're beating top twenty five opponents and
the Lee. Yeah, your only two losses are by a
total of seven points inn sec play. Yeah, that's impressive.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say the women's basketball must be super
competitive because they're ranked number six, and then I'm looking
at it and Texas is number four. They have the
same overall record, But I mean again, beat Yeah, we
beat Texas. I mean Yukon is undefeated, so can't really
say any about that. Yeah, UCLA, South Carolina, Texas Vandy
and then LSU at six, so it's a competitive top ten.
But LSU is by my standards probably Taylor's two that
I would say they're underrated. I know six is crazy
to say that, but like you still have Texas where
again you have a head to head win over them,
same record, and yeah, well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll we will find out here pretty soon. This
Thursday they do travel to Austin to take on Texas,
number four Texas Auburn after that and then they get
the matchup versus number three South Carolina, so which is
wait to see. Are they underady? We will see.
Speaker 5: But when yesterday against Alabama, coach Kim Moulky stated about
how good great her defense played, fantastic defense, he said,
I wish we could bottle that up right with the
way they played.
Speaker 4: But offensively just as impressive. They had their second highest
field goal percentage of the year fifty six point one
percent shooting. They make in thirty seven to sixty six shots,
ten of twenty one from three point That's the second
time this season they hit ten plus or ten plus
threes in a game and then four players with double
doubles Jada Reshard.
Speaker 5: Hey, right, got to mess that up last week. Okay, God,
it's an idiot.
Speaker 6: At least important.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I wasn't talking to like her coach or anything.
So it's fine.
Speaker 4: Gendery shout that six team Mikayla Williams fifteen. It's so
Kaya Johnson fifteen in Malaysia, full Wiley had ten. So uh,
kudos to the Lady Tigers that they continue to crush.
So continue to sport, continue to sell out the PMA.
Speaker 5: But this Thursday, make sure you find a way to
watch that game versus Texas as we whip up on
the long Horns down.
Speaker 6: From the old butt whip, butt whip, keep having in
a canon butt whip.
Speaker 4: Who can Hey, I really do appreciate the effort though,
because it is still carpool season right now until eight.
We gotta you know, I appreciate the effort because I
know that's out of your comfort zone to censor yourself
like that. Live So good job. Thanks, all right, let's

You ever heard of the Senior Ball. It's where the
best in college football meet for an entire week and
they play football against each other, the best players, and
a game they usually have they usually name a person
that's the best player of that game. And so you
got the best players in the country playing a game,
and then there was one person that was named the
best player of that game.
Speaker 5: Guess who it was?
Speaker 6: Was it Garrett Nosemier?
Speaker 5: Was Garrett smyer Man, son of Saints offensive coordinator get.
Speaker 4: The Saints beanie one after the game. Pretty good, congratulations
Garrett Nusmeyer Man. In a week that we talked about
it a lot. Last week we highlighted Garrett Nusmeyer because
of course we're a Louisiana show. But it wasn't just
us that were highlighting nus Meyer last year. It was everybody.
It was all the media people we were talking to.
It was a lot of the scouts we were talking about,
talking to the head of the Senior Bowl was talking
about it. Everybody said, Garrett Nusmeyer is one of the
people this week that can help himself the most. And
we know the story. We understanding Taylor. I thought you
said it great before we went to break. I don't
think in the off season Garrett forgot how to throw
the ball and play quarterback in tackle football just didn't happen.
He was putting a really tough position and did his
draft doot pay for it, and it paid for it,
probably in a huge way leading up into this week.
Speaker 5: So it's.
Speaker 4: It was amazing to see that a kid that we
all have followed and have cheered for and rooted for.
Some people rooted, you know, cheered against a little bit
because it wasn't great at times this year.
Speaker 5: I get it.
Speaker 4: It's a results oriented world. So when you don't get
the results, you know, football is great because you can
cheer and.
Speaker 5: You can do.
Speaker 4: But guess what we're all cheering now. We're all hopefully
all back on the nust bus. And how much has
this draft stock improved.
Speaker 5: We don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's still a weaker draft class in the quarterback.
But I did see something yesterday that I don't know
who's all doing these statistics right now or whatever, but
I think it might It must be betting odds. I
think he's got like a thirty percent chance to go
third round. So if you would have told me that
before last week, I would have said, no, no way,
He's going third round, just because of what you've put
on what you put on tape, most recently Recncy Bias.
I guess, but it just goes to show you and
it proves the fact that he indeed was not one
hundred percent healthy or even close to it. When he
talked about on our show in the interview, a great
interview you can go back and listen to as well,
he said, I can't use my abs when I throw.
And as a rotational athlete, whether you're a thrower, whether
you're a kicker, whether you're a swinger of a you know,
a golf club, baseball, beout, whatever it is. If you
can't use your abs, you can't do anything. And so
you certainly can't do with any power. So it was
great to go see him. We had those awesome clips too,
of uh, you had the furthest air pass air yardage
after the first day had the highest velocity after the
first day. So Nuts is back. I expect him to
get drafted. Where where that will fall, I have no idea,
but congrats to him earning MVP of the Senior Bomb.
So NUS bus, everybody all aboard, let's go UR two
coming up right here and off the.
