1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Start Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,040
Matt Flynn.

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,919
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.

4
00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: Plays get broken down and science gets denied the Bench.

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,439
Hour two of Off the Bench Live from downtown Baton

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,679
Rouge starts now.

7
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in.

8
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 4: Now we'rena ye or two of OTB. All right, So

9
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:05,280
just to set up the rest of the show, we

10
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,920
moved a couple things around, So Jeff Watson and Will

11
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,519
Helmer's will join us at eight fifteen from the G team.

12
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:14,599
Talk a little nil with them again at eight to fifteen.

13
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,040
We've got chef Michael Johnson to answer your Munchi questions

14
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:20,640
at nine to fifteen, and we'll catch up with NFL

15
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,719
Hall of Famer Patrick Willis at nine thirty. So still

16
00:01:24,719 --> 00:01:26,959
a lot coming your way here in the show. We're

17
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,359
gonna watch a little tape, watch a little film here.

18
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,359
But we did have a question coming in, got this

19
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,120
one that I wanted to throw your way.

20
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: How will LSU.

21
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 4: Get all of their blitz packages in when ole miss

22
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:46,799
is going in hyper speed? As we know, they try

23
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:48,519
to get to the ball as fast as anybody in

24
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,840
the country. And that's one of the reasons why there's

25
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,400
a misconception of the old Miss offense. Everyone just assumes

26
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,599
that because you go fast, you throw the football. Now

27
00:01:57,599 --> 00:01:59,519
they'll they'll throw the football, but they want to run

28
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,319
it way more than they throw it. So like that's

29
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:07,000
a part of it. But defensively, when you're as aggressive

30
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,639
as LSU is and you're throwing all different blitzes and

31
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,080
you're coming from everywhere, you're coming from safety, you're coming

32
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,280
from corner cats. Certainly, the linebackers are very active, the

33
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:24,240
star position, Matthew is very active. How does LSU get

34
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:26,840
all of that in If Ole Miss is trying to

35
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:29,479
go fast and can you be as aggressive when they're

36
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,080
going fast.

37
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 5: The answer to that question is you can't put everything in.

38
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,479
You can't and you can't do every single look you

39
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,319
want to do. Yeah, Ole Mist likes to go fast,

40
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,280
but they are doing a lot of get to the

41
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:51,319
ball fast and then see what happens. They're gonna check

42
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:53,439
with me on the sideline, they're gonna get the play calls,

43
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:54,599
they're gonna get the signals.

44
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: So you do have time to make some calls.

45
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:01,159
Speaker 5: But what you're doing right now throughout the week is

46
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,159
you are hyper focused on the communication between the linebackers

47
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,800
and the defensive backs. You're working on your signaling, You're

48
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:14,560
working on your your calls. You're working in in in

49
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,159
practice all week long about Okay, I got one linebacker,

50
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:19,840
he's got the green dot on his head, he's getting

51
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:20,240
the call.

52
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,199
Speaker 2: We're also signaling from the sideline, probably to the DB's.

53
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: dB coaches are you know, notorious for signaling to the

54
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:28,400
corners and the safeties, and they relay it to the

55
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,680
other guys. But you're making sure you're communicating. If you

56
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,520
want to run a full plethora of blitz packages, it

57
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,039
has to be communicate, communicate, communicate, because they get to

58
00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:42,400
the line of scrimmage, and that's what a fast paced

59
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:44,520
offense wants to do. Yeah, if they want to make

60
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,639
your defenses as vanilla as possible, right, they want to

61
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:49,520
make you vanilla as possible. And then they also want

62
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,080
to get a good look at what you're trying to do,

63
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:52,879
and then the coach can make the check with me

64
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:55,560
or the audibles or the alerts or whatever it is

65
00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:57,360
instead of putting on the quarterback shoulders.

66
00:03:58,719 --> 00:03:59,879
Speaker 2: But just because they go.

67
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 5: Fast ask to the line of scrimmage doesn't necessarily mean

68
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,120
they snapped the ball fast. I'd like to see what

69
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:06,719
their average snap on the like what time on the

70
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:08,840
play clock is because a lot of times there's people

71
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:10,639
rest of the line of scrimmage, but they still snap

72
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,680
the ball with ten to fifteen seconds left on the

73
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,520
play clock, right, So it's not necessarily so usually you

74
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:20,360
will have time to make adjustments. But the communication is

75
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:22,560
paramount from between the linebacker.

76
00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:26,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, and now it is easier in college football because

77
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:27,800
you got the green dot, right Harrol Perkins wearing the

78
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,639
green bays, and you got communication in your helmet and

79
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,319
so like now it falls on if you know perk

80
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,000
to be able to get the call in and you

81
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,680
could codeword a lot of your blitzes too. Hey, every

82
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:41,079
word that we say that starts with this letter is

83
00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:43,519
going to be this blitz every you know, it doesn't

84
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,920
have to just be hey, hey, corner cat, but hey

85
00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:50,839
we're bringing strike Sam in safety strike.

86
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:51,959
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be that.

87
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,199
Speaker 4: I mean, it can be something that is a code

88
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,040
word for you and old miss. They're college students. They're

89
00:04:58,079 --> 00:04:59,439
not gonna be able to pick up on your code

90
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,639
words within one game.

91
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: Yep.

92
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 3: It's just not gonna happen.

93
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: Yep.

94
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,399
Speaker 4: So you can still get it done right, and you

95
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:07,079
can get everything you've done without having Now you can

96
00:05:07,079 --> 00:05:08,439
hand signal something if you want to.

97
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: Again, college kids aren't gonna pick up a ton of that.

98
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: LSU hasn't had to do that because Clemson didn't go

99
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,360
fast on the road. Every other game has been a

100
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,600
home game, so they've been able to communicate pretty easily.

101
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,240
So if you handle it right and if you prepare right,

102
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,800
it will be a challenge, but it won't be impossible.

103
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: It won't be impossible.

104
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 5: But again, it's like if we're a team that doesn't

105
00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:29,439
go like when you play a normal team, you can

106
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:34,439
have maybe twenty different blitzes in you go a game

107
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,800
like this, you want to communicate, You're probably gonna communicate

108
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,399
four or five maybe six. Now when you get a

109
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,439
chance to slow down, if there's a timeout on the field,

110
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,000
and that's when you can call your exotics. Like when

111
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,759
you you're gonna go into the game in a hurry

112
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,079
up situation when they're speeding to the ball they have

113
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,480
that fastballed mentality on offense, you're gonna go in there

114
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,000
with four or five maybe six right and then but

115
00:05:56,079 --> 00:06:00,879
you exotics available. TV timeouts timeouts on the field, injury timeouts.

116
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do think that Elshu And actually I'd love

117
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,959
to ask Blake Baker this. I do think that LSU's

118
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,000
players have the ability to get the call and the

119
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:18,519
player that's not actually blitzing has the ability to show

120
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,399
these blitzing and move around, and they give them that

121
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:24,319
option as long as they end up where they're supposed to.

122
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,040
Because thank you for Blake Baker, you're not hey on

123
00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:30,639
this play, West Weeks, I want you to kind of

124
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,839
actually stutter up a little bit and act like you're

125
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,920
maybe coming and with it's actually you, it's going to

126
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:37,199
be blitzing. I think they just do a really good

127
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,839
job of understanding where their blitz is coming from. And

128
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:42,319
it's like in the NFL we call it rock and roll, right,

129
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,120
and it's it's a version of that.

130
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:46,399
Speaker 3: But I think they do that on their own and

131
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:46,800
so it's like.

132
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,879
Speaker 2: Who is it's not a complete ad lib. They practiced that.

133
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 5: The coach is talking about, Hey, you need to you

134
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,079
have the freedom here to disguise or decoy whatever you

135
00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:58,279
want to call it. But to your point, the defense

136
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,199
might have a call and against like an offense like

137
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,439
this that goes fast.

138
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: The defense might have a call.

139
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,759
Speaker 5: It's a pressure call, and it might be if it's

140
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:10,959
a three by one set, the pressure might be completely different.

141
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,879
Speaker 2: It might be it might be a weak cat. If

142
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,480
it's a two by two set, it.

143
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,439
Speaker 5: Might be a one like an alert flip call and

144
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:20,199
it becomes a strong dog where they bring the the

145
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:22,560
Nickel Sam and the Mike linebacker and drop the backside.

146
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,279
Speaker 2: Defense been so.

147
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:24,519
Speaker 3: Nicol Sam would be called star.

148
00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:31,519
Speaker 5: No. No, so really no, it wouldn't. Don't be dumb.

149
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,720
Don't be dumb right now. Uh no, it is. So

150
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,079
depending on the look you get, it's kind of like

151
00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:42,519
on offense. Offense has an either or type situation. So

152
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,800
from the like a real basic if you have a

153
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,439
route concept, one of them's good. One left side's good

154
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,720
against single high safety, right side is going to good

155
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,720
against two s safety.

156
00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:54,079
Speaker 2: You're gonna throw different routes.

157
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 5: It's gonna look like a little bit different play from

158
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,079
the outcome depending on the defense you get. Same with defense,

159
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:02,399
depending on the the offense shows you, the defense might

160
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:03,600
look completely different.

161
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: We all thought it was a fire alarm, so we

162
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,240
were just we all went all right, we're not you know,

163
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,199
we're not burning up here.

164
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 5: But against the Old Miss reels. Against these guys, you

165
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:16,680
gotta be careful.

166
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,199
Speaker 4: The Bears, the Black Bears, the Sharks, the land Sharks,

167
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,639
a lot of nicknames.

168
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, what are we doing?

169
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 5: Like then they don't even like I don't really actually

170
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:26,680
know what they're trying to.

171
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: Be Like Auburn.

172
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 5: So when you face Elane Kiffin offense, he's a really

173
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,879
good play caller, play designer.

174
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: Yea.

175
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,399
Speaker 5: He wants to bait you into things. He wants to

176
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:41,720
do something to make you react to it and then

177
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,440
CounterPunch and react to your reaction.

178
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: Right, So he wants you.

179
00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:47,879
Speaker 5: To bait bait bas So, I told you a lot

180
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,639
that in the first half when Old Miss played Arkansas,

181
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,320
they ran the ball a lot.

182
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:55,039
Speaker 2: So what does that do.

183
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 5: You got to bring an extra person into the box

184
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,399
to control that because they had a hard time stop

185
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:01,720
and a quarterback run, a basic quarterback run. So you

186
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:03,320
bring people in the box. So what does that do

187
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,679
in the second half? Taylor, go ahead and pull up

188
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,039
this film. I'm gonna show you a I think.

189
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,919
Speaker 3: A three tailor to the tape.

190
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:12,799
Speaker 5: To the tape, I'm gonna show you three plays in

191
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,720
a row here in this one drive.

192
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: This is in the second half.

193
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,399
Speaker 5: I think this starts with about eight and a half

194
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,960
minutes left in the third quarter. So what after many

195
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,639
many quarterback runs, They're gonna load the box. So we

196
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,159
got a four wide situation. We have five offensive linement,

197
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,279
we have one running back. But how many people are

198
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,440
in the box and what I mean by in the

199
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,840
box in the tackle box, that'd be six defenders, so

200
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:40,559
you got five to block. Six numbers ain't great. So

201
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,600
that's when Lane Kiffin decides, all right, they're loading the box.

202
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:45,799
We got some one on one coverage out here. So

203
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:49,879
we run a simple little two receiver double slant action

204
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,879
down here to the bottom.

205
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:51,519
Speaker 2: Boom.

206
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 5: Simple right, Yeah, it's an easy throw, easy throw, take

207
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,759
a little slam. But this is what I'm talking about

208
00:09:57,759 --> 00:10:00,600
with this quarterback. He's not the most talented arm guy.

209
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,960
Like he completes a lot of passes, but they're not

210
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,279
all like perfect passes, Like get a little slant here,

211
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,039
hits them in the back.

212
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:06,279
Speaker 2: Yip.

213
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 5: Okay, a little thing, little thing for a quarterback. All right,

214
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:16,039
next play, same thing, same look on defense. We got

215
00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:19,720
a two bout two exact same formation, Lane Kiffin, We're

216
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,759
gonna call the same play. But instead of running a slant,

217
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,840
we're gonna run a slug go. What is a SLUGO

218
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,519
It's a slant and go. So sets them up. Yeah,

219
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,519
same coverage, Yep, slant and go, same coverage. We couldn't

220
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,559
be more open. All behind him. Still makes a big play,

221
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,399
all right, So go back real quick? All right, right there?

222
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 4: All right, listeners, if you're watching on YouTube, watch at

223
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,399
the bottom of the screen and watch who throws their

224
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,799
arms up as soon as it happens.

225
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: That would be Lane Kiffen.

226
00:10:47,799 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: That would be Lank Kivin.

227
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: He knew exactly what he did.

228
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: He knew exactly what he did.

229
00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 5: Because he ran the slant to play before and look

230
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:54,840
thirteen for Arkansas.

231
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,639
Speaker 4: You trash, yeah, and honestly, like with a better ball,

232
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,080
would have a chance to make a move on safety.

233
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: Third play in this drive, go back to it. Not done.

234
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 5: This is the So we ran a slant, we ran

235
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,759
a slant and go, and now Lane in the first

236
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:14,639
half ran behind the line of scrimmage screen passes. What

237
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,080
are we gonna do now, We're gonna fake it and

238
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,039
we're gonna have an opportunity at a touchdown down the

239
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,559
center of the field, right here, but our quarterback, who

240
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:28,879
I'm not real high on right now, cannot read how

241
00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:30,799
it's supposed to be. You're supposed to bubble screen. You're

242
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:33,240
supposed to read the inside receiver first and then to

243
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:36,960
the outside. This is a touchdown. Those are in complete

244
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,919
pass out out of bounds. So here we go.

245
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: Tight hit.

246
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,039
Speaker 3: Was big mad too, big mad running right down the field?

247
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 5: Why look at Arkansas just walking around. They don't have

248
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:52,559
no idea what they're doing. Anyway, there we go. Layane

249
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:54,279
Kiffin will want to set you up.

250
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,399
Speaker 3: He is, He is really good.

251
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: It is a big setup guy.

252
00:11:57,639 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 3: It's a slow play and a lot of time.

253
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,519
Speaker 4: Honestly, it's a trait that a lot of coordinators say

254
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,679
they have, but they don't, and they get so excited.

255
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,440
You see it on every level of football. Hell, we

256
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,320
see it in flag football. The you and I coach.

257
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,840
You get a ball play and you're so excited and

258
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,639
it's a new formation and you go out there and

259
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,159
you run it.

260
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? You didn't set anything up right.

261
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 4: So the new formation that you think is going to

262
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,879
trick them, how's it going to trick them when they

263
00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:25,200
don't know it?

264
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 3: Because first time you've shown it or whatever it might be.

265
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 4: Sure Lane does a really nice job of understanding, Okay,

266
00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:34,039
I'm going to throw this because later on in the game,

267
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,120
it's going to set up this and I'll throw a

268
00:12:36,159 --> 00:12:38,320
four yard slant to be able to get a forty

269
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:40,679
yard slant later on in the game. And that's why

270
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,919
you have to stay so disciplined. And LSU, for the

271
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:48,519
most part, outside of I would say two plays this

272
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:51,960
year touchdown to Louisiantac in a touchdown of Florida, they

273
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,919
got called back for holding, You've been incredibly disciplined, Like

274
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,399
your defensive backs have done exactly whatever the coverage is asking.

275
00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: Them to do.

276
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,159
Speaker 5: And that's what's been impressive about the LSU defense to

277
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:05,159
date is they're so aggressive, they fly around so much,

278
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,399
they create so much chaos, and you can only do that.

279
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,720
You can only feel confident in doing that as a

280
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:14,279
defensive coordinator if your guys on the back end are disciplined,

281
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,399
and they have they've shown that. So we got to

282
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:19,360
be disciplined in all aspects of our defense, and I

283
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,519
have noted doubt that we can. So you got to

284
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,919
be disciplined in the zone read game, the quarterback run game,

285
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,279
and then you got to be disciplined and watch for

286
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:32,759
the setups, watch for behind the line of scrimmage, and

287
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:37,480
just don't get don't get complacent in what they're doing.

288
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:40,039
Don't be like, all right, they keep throwing these screens,

289
00:13:40,039 --> 00:13:41,960
they keep throwing these screens. I'm gonna tamin it. I'm

290
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,159
gonna bust this one up for a tackle for a loss,

291
00:13:44,159 --> 00:13:45,399
and then all of a sudden you get hit with

292
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,720
a fake screen.

293
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:47,759
Speaker 2: Got down the middle.

294
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: Blake Miller ins, O the chad.

295
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 4: Did you know that no one has ever said slug

296
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,840
o without immediately explaining that it is a slant then

297
00:13:55,879 --> 00:13:56,200
a go.

298
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: It's fair, It's fair. It's so true.

299
00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 5: It's kind of like man when they when they latch

300
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,879
and they locked things down on the back of their

301
00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:08,519
truck with a strap that ain't going nowhere, That ain't

302
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,320
going nowhere.

303
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: Same thing, yep, she ain't going nowhere.

304
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very fair.

305
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: Oh, just in case you didn't know that, I'm really good.

306
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,600
Just in case I'm sure there's somebody out there that

307
00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:29,759
and heard that before. No, no, but he's right though,

308
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:33,919
Like immediately it's like slugo route that is a slint

309
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:37,519
and go and almost is gonna do it, but they're

310
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:39,519
gonna set it up before they do a great break

311
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,759
down there from Matthew. All right, we'll take a break

312

got Jeff Watson and Will Helmer's here with us talk

360
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,599
a little bit about well everything. And I want to

361
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,079
start off saying I thought about y'all and the G

362
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,920
Team the other day because right now currently because obviously

363
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,440
the G Team the nil deals and got Garrett Nessmayer

364
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,880
and everything going on, and you know, bringing players from

365
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,960
the portal they get nil deals. How about this, The

366
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,759
top seven teams in the transfer portal rankings in college

367
00:17:43,799 --> 00:17:47,039
football right now are combined twenty seven and zero. Yeah,

368
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,160
twenty it's not going anywhere.

369
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 3: That's Jeff.

370
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,759
Speaker 4: That's one thousand percent, right, Because like, no matter how

371
00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:58,079
you felt about it or feel about it, it's like

372
00:17:58,279 --> 00:18:00,880
if you don't get on the train, I always say,

373
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,920
you'll be left at the station with your bag in hand,

374
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,880
waving goodbye to it, and so like it is something

375
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,400
like you have to do. And really, as we all know,

376
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,359
like the G Team is somebody that was on the

377
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,400
forefront of that, and it's been in the game as

378
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,480
long as anybody, certainly here in Baton Rouge since the beginning.

379
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:18,519
Speaker 7: Keshon Booty was our first football player.

380
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:22,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, how and then in women's basketball.

381
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and at some point had the whole team, uh yeah, different.

382
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,839
Speaker 7: Women's basketball team. We did their entire team, we did

383
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:33,400
the we've done the entire gymnastics team. A lot of

384
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,759
football players, have some basketball players, and obviously we do

385
00:18:37,759 --> 00:18:38,799
a lot of baseball players too.

386
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: That's what we're talking about with Will.

387
00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:42,279
Speaker 4: I believe last week it's like we all know that

388
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,000
LSU baseball is, you know, bigger here than it's going

389
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:47,279
to be in most places. But I have to imagine Will,

390
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:49,799
like you got friends to play for other SEC teams,

391
00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:51,599
and they're probably like, wait a minute, y'all got y'all

392
00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:53,720
got what y'all get all these NIL deals and you'll

393
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,079
get all these things just because you know, people like

394
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,279
the G team understand what baseball means to Baton Rouge exactly.

395
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,599
Speaker 8: I mean, like like y'all said and alluded to, like

396
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,920
NIL is going to create championships now in programs in

397
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,279
the SEC. And and then teams that can pay. You know,

398
00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:11,759
they can win. You know, you're basically paying to win now,

399
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,319
and you know those fans.

400
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 5: Stab the team to South Carolina. He's like, you say,

401
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:22,480
up an office here in South Carolina. Uh so, Jeff,

402
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:24,759
you've been kind of on the forefront, right, Yeah, we.

403
00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:28,039
Speaker 7: Started it with when, like I said, the Kaishawn kind

404
00:19:28,039 --> 00:19:28,920
of was our first deal.

405
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,559
Speaker 5: So how has how has like the the I in

406
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,240
IOL world? Like at first it was kind of the

407
00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:35,480
wild West, right, It's kind of like making the rules

408
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:38,160
up as we went. But every year it seems to

409
00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:40,279
kind of tighten up a little bit and everybody's starting

410
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:42,160
to play a little bit by the same rules and everything.

411
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,519
So how has it changed? Like what what's the landscape

412
00:19:44,519 --> 00:19:47,440
of NIL this year compared to past years?

413
00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 7: So now, the biggest thing that you have now is

414
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,680
revenue share, which is where.

415
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 2: The actual school is allowed.

416
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,839
Speaker 7: To use their revenue to pay players, right, which has

417
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,720
given more a balance to everybody having money. Instead of

418
00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:05,680
just having these Gordons that will come in and do

419
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,519
the third party in il dealers, you actually have the

420
00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:10,279
school that can use some of their revenue and get

421
00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:14,519
more of a playing field. That has also created major

422
00:20:14,559 --> 00:20:18,839
issues in controlling in IL because now we've made it

423
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,480
a free labor market. And there was a federal judge

424
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,920
that just had a decision on the San Diego State

425
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,079
offensive lineman who wanted another year of eligibility, and he

426
00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:32,519
just rolled two days ago, and basically he does a

427
00:20:32,519 --> 00:20:36,960
great analysis of NCAA. You're wrong. This is a labor market.

428
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,519
It's just pay for play. And when you did that,

429
00:20:39,759 --> 00:20:42,240
you can't now control it and you can't tell people

430
00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:45,240
where they can't go, what they can't do. His whole

431
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,480
deal was, I'm missing out on NIO opportunities if you

432
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:50,920
don't let me play this year. And that's the free market.

433
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,920
And so it's completely changed. Hopefully we'll get to a

434
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,440
point where we have some collective bargaining in a union

435
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,599
type situation.

436
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: Time like we had in the NFL.

437
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, it has cooint and that's what the lawsuits are.

438
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,400
House settlement came down, and then now anyone that tries

439
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,720
to restrict that, a lawsuit will be filed, and then

440
00:21:12,039 --> 00:21:17,279
changes will be made, and eventually Congress will congress and

441
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,920
or NCAA or collect the bargaining in the union. Don't

442
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,000
know how that's going to look lately, later, but that

443
00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:26,200
will happen and get us into a structured environment. So

444
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,519
the NCAA can truly say here's our sandbox. We negotiated

445
00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:32,920
these rules with the players. If you want to play,

446
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:35,680
this is our rules. Hey, I would say, and will

447
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,559
you know this better than I do?

448
00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:39,319
Speaker 4: I would say baseball has been as affected as anybody

449
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,599
because you can be drafted out of high school and

450
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,000
now you're getting players on campus because of nil situations

451
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,079
of like, hey you can actually come here. You got

452
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,200
a little safety net in this nil because before, like

453
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,640
if you got offered a million dollars out of high

454
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,400
school and you didn't sign, you came to school, you

455
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,279
had to go because you you didn't.

456
00:21:58,079 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 3: Know if you were going to come to school and

457
00:21:59,200 --> 00:21:59,799
be the same player.

458
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:02,599
Speaker 8: I mean, you can get first round money now without

459
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,279
going to the draft and get you get the whole

460
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:05,119
college experience.

461
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: And and why would you not?

462
00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:09,319
Speaker 3: I think guys like that, right yeah, I mean cry

463
00:22:09,559 --> 00:22:11,119
right now, Curio Schmidt.

464
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 8: You get all these guys that pile into this program

465
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,960
that could have been you know first, you know, the

466
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,559
first three rounds of the draft, and they're getting the

467
00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:22,279
same money in similar money, you know, to come play

468
00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:24,160
and experienced college.

469
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

470
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 4: They're they're not going on a bus ride and random fa.

471
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,759
Speaker 8: We're taking we're taking charter flights and Dixie Land buses.

472
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: And lu's facilities are not.

473
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: And so you're to.

474
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: Get better to play for the mud Hens. I don't

475
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,480
know who the mud Hens.

476
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:43,759
Speaker 2: Are, it's just the first definitely a team.

477
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, So Jeffy, you were talking about like the this

478
00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:50,720
year being a revenue sharing situation, so it's tightening up

479
00:22:50,759 --> 00:22:53,240
the rules. And so now n I L gets to

480
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,160
be you strictly like what it's meant to be name

481
00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:58,799
image likeness, which is kind of what y'all are doing

482
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,160
it exactly. Always out it that way exactly, instead of

483
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,960
like here's a collective, here's this money from this company,

484
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,559
go buy this player. Like now it's name image likeness,

485
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:10,079
so it can be used perfectly, which is the way

486
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,319
it should be, Like a kid should be able to

487
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,359
make money off of using his image. But I know

488
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,559
there's also like this governing body that looks at making

489
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:22,279
sure it's fair market value for that work. How is

490
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,799
fair market value judged? And who is actually making that

491
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:26,759
final determination.

492
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,079
Speaker 7: So there's a committee that looks at that and you

493
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,720
nailed it. It's what is fair market value? Loreel or

494
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,079
someone can look at your beard and say that's the

495
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,200
greatest I've ever seen and I want to pay you

496
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,480
a million dollars for it. No one can come and

497
00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:46,880
say no, you can't. Yeah, and that's the problem, is

498
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:49,400
what So what they've set up is to keep a

499
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,519
quarterback that starts in the SEC kind of on the

500
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:55,839
same level, a starting running back in the SEC, same level.

501
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,799
But as soon as those deals get rejected, the lawsuits

502
00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:01,119
are gonna come. Yeah, and we're gonna which is what

503
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,759
we want. We want to get closer to structure, right,

504
00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:06,519
And the only way that's gonna happen is if Congress

505
00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:10,039
gets involved or lawsuits are filed, and so fair market value.

506
00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:12,640
They say they don't use fair market value, and then

507
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,240
they have a definition which is literally the definition of

508
00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:18,599
fair market value. Yeah, but they don't want to use

509
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:22,200
that word. But yes, that's that's a major issue, and

510
00:24:23,079 --> 00:24:24,920
we already had it happened. So a lot of deals

511
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,400
got rejected, big deals, and so the plane of lawyers

512
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,160
in the House Settlement came back and said, well, we're

513
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,119
gonna follow suit on this. We think you can't do that.

514
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,480
And so they redid the rules and say, okay, COLLECTI

515
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,440
if you're back in play, but you got to make

516
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:42,039
them do something. Sign autographs, show up at golf tournaments.

517
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,599
They can do something. And yeah, before it was nothing.

518
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,240
It was just a collective given.

519
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 2: Money Leonard situation. Yeah, yeah, sure.

520
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,079
Speaker 4: Sure, all right, So whenever you're trying to okay, we're

521
00:24:54,079 --> 00:24:56,519
gonna have these athletes, we want them on the g team.

522
00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:59,440
Like Smyers probably pretty obvious he's a quarterback of LSU,

523
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:02,039
But like, what are maybe those conversations like like, who's

524
00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:03,680
somebody that we want to work with? Because you want

525
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,559
to make sure that you're partnering with people, Like do

526
00:25:05,559 --> 00:25:08,079
you lean on somebody like like Will obviously like he's

527
00:25:08,079 --> 00:25:10,640
not playing anymore, but he's got great relationships over there, Like, hey,

528
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,160
tell me a little bit about this guy, because you

529
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,000
want to make sure you have.

530
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: The right people representing your company.

531
00:25:14,519 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: Exactly.

532
00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 7: We have a team on marketing team that Chloe and

533
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,200
Alex and they work on that and they will do

534
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,400
a scrub and they're gonna look at all the social

535
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,759
media and they're gonna find out everything they can about them, right,

536
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:29,039
and then Gordon's gonna interview them. Yeah, and he's gonna

537
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:30,799
sit down in front of him and gonna ask him

538
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:32,240
what do you like? Tell me, you know, and he's

539
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,920
gonna go through it all. And we kind of go

540
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,640
through a process of players that we want, Are they available?

541
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,359
Is it someone that we can put on the team,

542
00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:42,720
And that's kind of how it falls down, and we

543
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:43,880
get to our team.

544
00:25:44,039 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 5: If I was twenty years younger, yeah, we got would

545
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,680
you think I'd be invited to be on the G team?

546
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 2: And how many billboards would it be?

547
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 7: So you from Texas, our goal, My goal is always

548
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:59,359
starting quarterback. And I had this conversation with Marlon whatever

549
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,440
somebody podcast with him and he wanted to know his

550
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:04,640
NIL evaluation.

551
00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 2: And so.

552
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,599
Speaker 7: From Matt, of course big fav one Matt would be

553
00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:13,759
I mean, just like Marlon, he would be starting quarterback

554
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:16,279
on a highly ranked team. He would be in the

555
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,440
seven figures easily on his rev share plus three buckets.

556
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,599
You got your rev share, your scholarship right and your

557
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,759
third party in io deals and so L s U

558
00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:27,960
and nil. They would set him up with you know,

559
00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:31,240
Canes and Jewel Forden and like they would set him

560
00:26:31,319 --> 00:26:34,640
up with some third party in io deals and.

561
00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 5: So you just talked about earlier, Like now that it's

562
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,640
pay for play, it's gonna be hard to tell me.

563
00:26:39,759 --> 00:26:42,359
I don't have eligibility left, so can I go back?

564
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 3: Well, you read shirted your out. I didn't.

565
00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: I suffered through COVID year though.

566
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 3: You were thirty five. I think that when that happened.

567
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 4: So you're telling me my wife would not have had

568
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,039
to drop out of school and get a full time

569
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,920
job because our doolllarship check didn't cover half our rent

570
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,799
back in two thousand and seven, Like we'd have done.

571
00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:09,279
Speaker 7: Okay, your personality and you would have fit so many

572
00:27:09,319 --> 00:27:12,079
companies out there, Jacob, you would have you would have

573
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,200
done very well.

574
00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 3: You would have little too early more a little too early.

575
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: It's okay, wasn't your fault.

576
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're glad that, you know, because we'll you got

577
00:27:20,079 --> 00:27:22,160
into the back end because you started college.

578
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 8: So I started. Yeah, my sophomore year. At the end

579
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,119
of my sophomore year is when it really kind of

580
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,000
took shape and there no rules, you know, and it

581
00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:32,519
was it was a free for all, and so you had,

582
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,240
you know, all these different athletes and whatever they wanted

583
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,720
for whatever. Yeah, and so now that there's a little

584
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:40,680
bit of structure to it and a little more you know,

585
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,839
you know there's rules, right, you know that you know

586
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,799
LSU has to follow, that players have to follow, that

587
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,480
small businesses, businesses have to follow like Gordon, and in

588
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:51,680
order to pay these players, it's you know, taking shape

589
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,599
and like we said earlier, it's not going anywhere, and so.

590
00:27:56,039 --> 00:27:56,839
Speaker 2: You know, get used to it.

591
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,319
Speaker 4: How exciting How exciting was it though when you were

592
00:27:59,319 --> 00:28:00,720
in the locker room them and all of a sudden

593
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:03,960
you're like, wait, we can do what we can. We

594
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,599
can make money off our name, image and likeness. Like

595
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:07,400
what was that moment?

596
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:09,599
Speaker 8: Like, well, for me it wasn't you know great, I was,

597
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,160
But for a lot of guys, you know, that was awesome. Yeah,

598
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,000
you know, and for all athletes at LSU, because you know,

599
00:28:16,839 --> 00:28:19,039
it's your name, image and likeness and you put.

600
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 4: It on l She does a really good job of

601
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,359
embracing it and putting out Think about the LSU brand

602
00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:25,839
in itself, you know, as soon as you commit and

603
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,200
you play for LSU, you're part of that brand no

604
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:28,680
matter what.

605
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 8: And so you know, having the opportunity to you know,

606
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:35,160
link yourself with that brand and your name, image and likeness,

607
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:36,039
it's huge.

608
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,759
Speaker 5: Let me ask you this from a from from the

609
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,200
business owner's perspective, Like I know, a lot of it

610
00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:46,720
is because a business owner might love the university, love

611
00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:49,599
the players, and want to contribute to that. But a

612
00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:52,559
lot of companies they're doing it to get their company's

613
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,440
name out there to bring in extra revenue.

614
00:28:54,519 --> 00:28:56,519
Speaker 2: And I would say that's the goal for all of it.

615
00:28:56,599 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 5: But is there analytics out there yet because it's still

616
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,400
so early, Like what the return on investment is for

617
00:29:05,559 --> 00:29:06,680
business owners.

618
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,039
Speaker 2: That's a great question.

619
00:29:08,119 --> 00:29:11,839
Speaker 7: And I think aligning yourself with ls people have always

620
00:29:11,839 --> 00:29:14,960
aligned themselves with LSU and tried to but now being

621
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,519
able to align yourself with a player is just even

622
00:29:17,599 --> 00:29:19,519
more me People have a favorite player for sure, and

623
00:29:19,559 --> 00:29:21,640
if they're deciding am I going to go here or here?

624
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,079
And like ooh, I saw him doing something with you know,

625
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,279
Aaron Anderson might be you know or nus Meyer. You

626
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:30,759
know that to be able to evaluate that, it's tough.

627
00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:34,759
I know in our world because our marketing personal injury

628
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,839
is more of the commercials in the billboards and stuff,

629
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,799
so it's probably not our best return of investment. But

630
00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:44,119
Gordon's whole deal is number one, I want to support LSU,

631
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,319
but two, I want to promote these kids and push

632
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,680
these kids and promote these kids, and hopefully they'll get

633
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,759
more deals. And if they go up in their name,

634
00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:55,000
image and likeness, then we go up along with them.

635
00:29:55,079 --> 00:29:57,519
And that's kind of been our attitude and kind of

636
00:29:57,559 --> 00:29:59,559
the way we look at it. Why we do the

637
00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:01,680
research that we do to make sure that we're aligning

638
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,759
ourselves with the proper fits.

639
00:30:04,079 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it is certainly I appreciated seeing all those

640
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,000
LSU athletes on all the different advertisement that y'all do there.

641

00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 2: They are doing a great job. So if you want

664
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,880
to build.

665
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 5: A lazy ripper, if you want a little grotto, if

666
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,160
you want some fire, can I get a hot tub?

667
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:14,759
Speaker 2: Somebody?

668
00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:17,279
Speaker 5: Whatever it is, turn your dream into reality. They got

669
00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:20,440
two landscape architects right there on staff, So whatever you

670
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,000
can dream up, they can do it right there within

671
00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:24,720
the scope of their wick. You don't have to go

672
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,640
look for an outside architect. They can do it right there.

673
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,319
So you got that custom pool in mind, go to

674
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:47,440
Russell Pools dot com.

675
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: I'm the stage.

676
00:31:49,599 --> 00:31:53,039
Speaker 1: We're right from stars.

677
00:31:56,759 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 6: When she knows the cars up.

678
00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:08,039
Speaker 9: Now, I just found game.

679
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,319
Speaker 3: I can't play.

680
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: Locked in on LSU Football twenty four to seven. You're

681
00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:17,559
listening to Off the Bench.

682
00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 7: And my heart seeking Mack say so.

683
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 4: Saying, Matthew, how does that feel? Somebody telling you you

684
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,440
would have made seven pigres?

685
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,319
Speaker 3: Uh?

686
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 4: You would have had two iPhones on your belt loop

687
00:32:46,759 --> 00:32:48,319
if that was the case, not just one.

688
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: I had a just a bigger belt loop. I was flattered.

689
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,240
That had been fun. Oh man, somebody said I would

690
00:32:58,279 --> 00:32:58,839
have made a ton.

691
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:05,319
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, Bilbo, you're right. The amount of Tyron Matthew

692
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,960
missed out on the Honey Badger shirts that just Bingles

693
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,119
Abandons alone would have sold is insane.

694
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 5: Flinny raking in the dough from the no Show ankle

695
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:15,279
socks endorsement.

696
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,079
Speaker 4: I wear no show ankle socks. It's our age. I

697
00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:21,759
get it. I know it's our age.

698
00:33:22,319 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: These are shows.

699
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:25,759
Speaker 3: These are the I wear shows.

700
00:33:26,599 --> 00:33:31,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, both the ark I got black no show?

701
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: What's no show?

702
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 4: I ain't wearing a mid calf sock. What am I

703
00:33:35,359 --> 00:33:37,440
the basic creative player on n C double.

704
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 6: As all the time? Hey?

705
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 2: Why do I work these calves out?

706
00:33:44,119 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 3: Hide them? You don't hide that light under a bush.

707
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: I don't like with myself. It is weird.

708
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 5: It was first time I heard it, like probably two

709
00:33:51,079 --> 00:33:53,359
three months ago. It's almost say, you're really showing your

710
00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:54,400
age with those no shows.

711
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, why are people showing their socks?

712
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 10: Be honest, I don't know who told you that. Everybody

713
00:34:01,079 --> 00:34:03,680
my age wears.

714
00:34:02,759 --> 00:34:07,119
Speaker 4: Everybody who doesn't, everybody twenty and under mid calf.

715
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,199
Speaker 3: That's so weird.

716
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:11,599
Speaker 2: It's like the starting like the crossfits.

717
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 3: Wear, like the Nike elites.

718
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess, yeah, I guess sometimes I wear

719
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,840
long socks, but like usually I wear no shows. I

720
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,760
don't think if I'm working out, like maybe like.

721
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:25,519
Speaker 10: If I'm wearing a suit, right, I was gonna say

722
00:34:25,559 --> 00:34:27,039
the only long socks I own.

723
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 2: Or dress socks.

724
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 5: So growing up it was like, yeah, mid calf, gold toes,

725
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,679
the gold have gold toe socks. You got like thirty

726
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,840
nine socks in one bag. And then when the like

727
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,239
the only no shows were like golf socks and they

728
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,679
had like the little the rolled up like little thing

729
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,519
on the back on the back of you. And then

730
00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:52,880
when they started to become popular, the nose shows. It

731
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,000
was life altering. Yeah, it was a game changer. So like,

732
00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:57,239
don't you take that away from it?

733
00:34:57,519 --> 00:34:59,159
Speaker 6: Why do I want to wear vands with like my

734
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,000
socks peaking?

735
00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:00,159
Speaker 3: Now?

736
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes no sense. That's a bad look. I

737
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:07,400
just good. I got high tops with my socks.

738
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,039
Speaker 5: Look at that clear definition, that clear definition, you could

739
00:35:13,079 --> 00:35:16,320
clearly see where the calf starts in the ankle.

740
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 6: You're not even wearing no shows.

741
00:35:18,559 --> 00:35:19,079
Speaker 3: Yeah you're not.

742
00:35:19,079 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I'm not wearing today, but leg

743
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:23,119
talking about it.

744
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,679
Speaker 3: So if you're not really in the gang, I only

745
00:35:25,679 --> 00:35:27,559
wear no shows, well you kind of oppose it.

746
00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 5: If I wear high tops, I wear higher socks, makes sense,

747
00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:31,760
makes sense to me.

748
00:35:32,119 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 2: If I wear low shoes, I wear no shoes.

749
00:35:35,039 --> 00:35:37,639
Speaker 10: It's it's weird these little, these little black no shows

750
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:39,440
I wear. I wear those with my boots.

751
00:35:39,639 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, me too, even when even when I'm wearing

752
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:44,519
boots I wear.

753
00:35:45,639 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 2: Maybe my ankles are too big, it just rubs up

754
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,800
against them. But I don't want that skin to shoot friction.

755
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:52,679
Speaker 3: I won't.

756
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 6: I won't say that I have.

757
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: Like start a fire with those ankles.

758
00:35:56,199 --> 00:35:58,079
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say I have full on kinkles. But my

759
00:35:58,119 --> 00:35:59,440
ankles can't be a little thick.

760
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 3: I'm not saying. But I cannot confirm or deny.

761
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 10: I can see Matt wearing boots like reaching down. What's

762
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,719
the problem these boots are giving me rug burn.

763
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: They do, I think gold bond from my ankles. Little

764
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:21,920
little chase down.

765
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 5: The Oh my gosh, that's good clean fun, good clean fun,

766
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:28,639
good clean fun.

779
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,280
on Bourbank, I know where they're at. They're right by

780
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,920
the checkout counter. We saw those last week. We'll be

781
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,360
there by the way. Oh let's see we did.

782
00:37:13,559 --> 00:37:13,679
Speaker 2: Uh.

783
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 4: What's going on in sports this weekend is a lot

784
00:37:15,639 --> 00:37:18,000
ooh lots I don't know what's going to be the

785
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,280
game of the week, but damn it, one of these

786
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,000
games better live up to what I think it's going

787
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:24,360
to be. I think the leader in the clubhouse to

788
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,480
live up to it would be the obvious three versus six,

789
00:37:27,559 --> 00:37:31,719
Penn State versus Oregon in a whiteout situation in Happy Valley.

790
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,320
I think both those teams are good. I don't know

791
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,199
if they're great, and maybe we'll find out if one

792
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,639
of them is great on Saturday, So that one's hard

793
00:37:40,639 --> 00:37:41,599
to get away from for me.

794
00:37:42,159 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: It's a big one. It's a big boy like.

795
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,760
Speaker 4: There it's three versus six, but it very easily could

796
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,039
be two versus three or two versus four.

797
00:37:49,199 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 2: Like, there's not a lot of difference in the top

798
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:51,360
six teams.

799
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 10: It's not ranked on rank, but I think A and

800
00:37:55,159 --> 00:37:57,079
m Alvern it's going to be a really good game.

801
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,800
It's a college station, yeah, it's it's a two thirty,

802
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,599
so it's it's head to head with LSU will miss,

803
00:38:03,599 --> 00:38:04,920
so we won't be watching a ton of it.

804
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: But that's got a chance to be a really good one.

805
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:10,559
Where is uh?

806
00:38:10,559 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 3: We're gaming to see that game being plunky game?

807
00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 7: Damn?

808
00:38:14,599 --> 00:38:16,199
Speaker 2: How are they not at all, Miss.

809
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 3: Oran, Oh yeah, Organan say yeah, yeah, it's three or six.

810
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 4: Wonder if they'll go, I wonder if they'll go, Oh

811
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,440
we got Alcaim, we got Alabama.

812
00:38:27,559 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 5: Georgia forgot like we get this sweet with a lot

813
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,679
of answers in that game.

814
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,599
Speaker 6: Answers, they're not that intrigued by it.

815
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,599
Speaker 2: Really, No, it's not really.

816
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 3: Doing much for me for what reason, And that's.

817
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 6: Not honestly, Alabama itself is not doing a lot for

818
00:38:42,519 --> 00:38:45,039
me this season. I know they're ranged number seventeen, but

819
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,440
I just it doesn't have like the physicality and just

820
00:38:49,599 --> 00:38:52,119
like the excitement that it used to have.

821
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 5: And I.

822
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 6: Look so nice soft to me. I don't know, like

823
00:38:58,079 --> 00:39:00,159
I don't really know if he is or not, but

824
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,440
the vibe that he gives me, I just I'm not

825
00:39:03,679 --> 00:39:05,320
intrigued by Alabama.

826
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 4: I yeah, I kind of understand what you're saying. The

827
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,000
old thing, to Matt's point, that would intrigue me with

828
00:39:11,159 --> 00:39:15,239
this game is to see where Alabama is. Because it's

829
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,440
so funny how this works, and it happens all the

830
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,000
time certainly in our business. We just we overreact to everything.

831
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,159
So they lose to Florida State, and we're like done,

832
00:39:23,639 --> 00:39:26,159
and then you know, Matt does the bab's parting and

833
00:39:26,199 --> 00:39:28,159
like everybody right, and so like like everybody kind of

834
00:39:28,199 --> 00:39:31,880
piled on. And then they go beat ULM Louis Monroe

835
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,440
seventy three to nothing. Look, ULLM is actually much better

836
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,840
this year. But Alabama's always gonna win that game. And

837
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,119
they had a point to prove in that game. They

838
00:39:39,159 --> 00:39:41,039
were gonna try to score as many as they could. Well,

839
00:39:41,039 --> 00:39:42,880
then they come back and they beat Wisconsin thirty eight

840
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,199
to fourteen, and we're like, oh man, they beat a

841
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:45,880
Big ten team.

842
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 3: Wisconsin's terrible. Wisconsain's a bad football team.

843
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 7: Yeah.

844
00:39:49,119 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 4: So it's like we were high, high high, then we

845
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,159
got real low, then we got high again. It's like,

846
00:39:53,199 --> 00:39:54,719
should we be that high or we should we be

847
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,199
somewhere in the middle. I think we should be somewhere

848
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,320
in the middle. But to your point of Landra, like

849
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,400
there's not a lot of intrigue into the game outside

850
00:40:01,639 --> 00:40:03,960
of where is Alabama from. Yeah, I think it's gonna

851
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,519
be right.

852
00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 6: I just think that like we, like Matt said, and

853
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,039
like you just said, we're gonna get answers about who

854
00:40:11,079 --> 00:40:15,400
Alabama is from this game. But them like, I'm just

855
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,920
not into it. But Georgia is always always fun to watch,

856
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,519
so like that part of it, sure, but I'm.

857
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 4: Just like that has been kryptonid. I guess a little

858
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:25,960
bit for Kirby, he's only beating Bama one.

859
00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's my thing.

860
00:40:27,079 --> 00:40:28,559
Speaker 10: I think this is gonna tell us who Georgia is

861
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,079
a Georgia correct, I think we know. I kind of

862
00:40:31,079 --> 00:40:34,320
think we know who Alabama is. Their team that's gonna

863
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,679
beat up on the small ones. And again, I understand

864
00:40:36,679 --> 00:40:40,079
they didn't play well against Florida Tody Simpson five incompletions

865
00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:43,119
in two games. It's hard to do against anybody, but again,

866
00:40:43,159 --> 00:40:45,760
look at the competition. But Georgia has not been able

867
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,760
to get over the Alabama home for whatever reason. They

868
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,639
did they did one time under Kirby. Outside of that,

869
00:40:52,199 --> 00:40:54,119
he's he struggled against the Bama Like, this is gonna

870
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:55,199
tell us a lot about Georgia.

871
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 5: It's a line to your point, Andra, like the lack

872
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,679
of juice coming from the Alabama program right now for

873
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,960
whatever reason, right or wrong, that's how we feel about it.

874
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,519
I hadn't watched a snap of Alabama football. Like I

875
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:13,360
told you, I got five games going on at once.

876
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,199
Speaker 6: The line is Uga minus three and a half.

877
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,199
Speaker 4: The so almost almost to pick them since in Athens,

878
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:22,920
I mean getting home bombed.

879
00:41:23,159 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 10: The Boar almost looks depressed, like borderline tears.

880
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 2: Whenever they're losing.

881
00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 10: It's like it's like there's there's not a lot of

882
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,440
juice from him. And I think he's a good coach,

883
00:41:31,559 --> 00:41:34,119
but there is just something missing about it.

884
00:41:34,159 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: But I'm actually intrigued.

885
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 10: Just because of the the Georgia aspect, Like I think

886
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,800
they're really good and again, how good is Alabama? But

887
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,599
if they could at least get over that hump, I

888
00:41:44,639 --> 00:41:47,519
think that tells us a lot about them.

889
00:41:47,639 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 4: I think we just talked to ourselves into being excited

890
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,719
about the game that we weren't that excited about.

891
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:57,679
Speaker 2: Look at us, not me, not I.

892
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 3: Now I don't know how much of I'm going to watch.

893
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: I have more in the night game.

894
00:42:02,519 --> 00:42:04,679
Speaker 3: You can't watch it it is, but it goes up

895
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:07,320
against the air. I'll be watching on the plane. That

896
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,159
is always fun. After LSU wins.

897
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 4: It is always fun to watch whatever the game of

898
00:42:11,039 --> 00:42:12,920
the week is if you have like the two thirty game,

899
00:42:13,519 --> 00:42:15,760
So I'll be watching it in the air. That's not

900
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,519
a quick or sorry, it is a quick. It's not

901
00:42:17,599 --> 00:42:20,079
a long plane ride, but I'll watch it in the air.

902
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 5: Do we think Gunnar Stockton is an elite quarterback in

903
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,840
the n think it's a good?

904
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,079
Speaker 3: Solid solid solid?

905
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 2: Is a solid? Eight seven is seven h seven good?

906
00:42:32,559 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 4: And if the lights are off at the bar, it's

907
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:45,360
two thirty, he might be an eight. It's beer goggles

908
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,199
just saying on that note, will take a break. We've

909
00:42:49,199 --> 00:42:52,280

Speaker 4: Maybe who's gonna rod?

941
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back?

942
00:44:39,039 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 4: Yeah it is oh t B here on this Thursday morning.

943
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,960
Talked about a couple of games going on across the

944
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,480
college football landscape in the last segment.

945
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:48,679
Speaker 2: Too.

946
00:44:50,119 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 4: Sleepy games, sleeping going under the radar a little bit.

947
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,519
On Friday, Tatan mentioned I think it was a TCU

948
00:44:58,559 --> 00:45:00,760
in Arizona State. That's gonna be that's gonna be a

949
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,639
fun game. I think TCU is actually really, really good.

950
00:45:03,679 --> 00:45:06,639
Speaker 10: Now his favorite furry has eleven touchdowns.

951
00:45:07,199 --> 00:45:07,679
Speaker 3: Very good.

952
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: Any furry updates from him, It wouldn't. I don't think

953
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:11,000
it was true.

954
00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:15,119
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, got a thousand yards on the year already. Arizona

955
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:17,079
State I think lost to it. Mississippi State team is

956
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:18,480
gonna prove that they're.

957
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,199
Speaker 2: Actually a good football team, Jeff Levy.

958
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:25,679
Speaker 4: Then you've got Florida State traveling to UVA. Now Virginia's

959
00:45:25,679 --> 00:45:28,000
three and one, they should be four and oh, Chandler

960
00:45:28,039 --> 00:45:31,239
Morris mits a wide open guy in the last drive

961
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,119
of the game. If he throws it, they score, they win.

962
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 3: They should be four and oh.

963
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,559
Speaker 4: There's three and one though, and Chandler Morris has thrown

964
00:45:38,679 --> 00:45:42,519
for over a thousand yards already in this season. Florida

965
00:45:42,519 --> 00:45:45,000
State's only a six and a half point favorite. Those

966
00:45:45,039 --> 00:45:48,079
are two ranked teams going on the road against teams

967
00:45:48,159 --> 00:45:50,119
that are very dangerous for them. So we get a

968
00:45:50,119 --> 00:45:51,679
little bit of action on a Friday night.

969
00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:54,599
Speaker 6: I like that TCU Arizona State game.

970
00:45:56,159 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: Levin versus Hoover. I mean, that's that's a big dumb.

971
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,599
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a fun one. We got a fun hour.

972
