Welcome in to a brand new episode of Snaps. So
everyone had a happy Juneteenth. As you can see, I'm

A bit of a rainy day. It's no beach yet today,

have to be back here another day. As always, joined
by QB One Aaron Murray. Aaron, what's up, dude? What's up?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Jealous of you and I don't know about tonight. T
I'm gonna be honest, I'm a little bit nervous for
your tigers. I know you've been talking a lot of
trash past month or so. When it comes to this
LSU Tennessee, I think you're gonna be eating your words tonight. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Okay, okay, Well, we also have a man who used
to eat a lot, doesn't look like he eats his
a lot anymore. And that's the Peloton Master himself, Cole Kubrick.
You all know him, Greg mcaory mccub but also check
out the Cube Show at Cube Show sixty one on
YouTube anywhere where you get podcasts, Fantastic podcast Cube Show. Cole,
(01:44):
what's up? Brother? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Man?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
How you doing today?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Do you like the Yoga Master? Two hundred and twenty
pounds and you're talking about how I don't eat food anymore?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
No, no, no, brother, look look look I mean I
meant that, and I don't have to be clear. I'm
not talking about shaming. No, no, I think you know.
I know good? You look great, dude and top ten
personality on Big Game Boomer's Top one hundred lists.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I feel like I still love but that's it's okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, Why did T Bob get left off? Though? I
think T Bob definitely deserves a spot. You got some
you had some who.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Did he go Hester for.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Thirty Ester spears. I'm sure Ryan Clark's on there somewhere.
There's a lot of l s U on there.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
There's Ay, don't really even talk about college football anymore.
So I'm gonna give Hester the lane over you just
because I feel like he buttons his shirt. But other
than that, that's.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
What I'm going to tell you, the same thing I
told Big Game Boomer on my radio show. Okay, eat
my ass, and that goes Dusty as well, and it
goes for you, Air Murray. Okay, because as I told
you earlier, I was out there taking a walk on
the beach, stormy skies, big waves, and I'm looking at
this ocean. It looks incredibly intimidating. But you know what
it showed me. Nobody ever did anything worth while by
(03:00):
being scared. Okay, so I ain't scared. If you're scared,
go to church, buy a dog. I ain't scared of
Tennessee Tony Vintello, Drew Beemore about to beat that volunteer
ass tonight and Lshoot will survive in advance. That's what's
gonna happen here. Aaron Murray, I'm sorry this is not
LSU baseball.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It's fun. I thought we were talking about big a
boomer list, and you went right back into cause World Series.
It's a great transition in your apartment.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
My brain is firing all over the place. There's a
lot of emotions going on right now.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Anger.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
We've been in the house because of the rain all day.
But I did Hey, but you want to talk about
good omen thought I lost my phone. Found my phone? Boys,
But all right, let's get into it cool because why
else the vibes are super high right now is uh
we're close to football boys a couple months away, and uh,
let's start with the big one debate we've had on
this show. Should the LSU Tigers actually be the favorite
(03:55):
to win the West this year?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yes? In my opinion, I think they should number one.
You're they're the defending division champions, they won the last
a year ago. You get a returning quarterback. You had
to shuffle the cards all on that offensive line for
the first what four or five games of the year
last year. Now you have a pretty good idea of
what it's going to be. I think you have some
real depth at that position. Now, you brought a couple
(04:18):
of transfers in that aren't really going to be expected
to start, but can give you bodies if you did
lose somebody. Again, you have two tackles returning, which not
a lot of teams can say. Solid tight end. I
think neck and neck with Ohio State. Best receiving corps
in college football if you're talking just wide receivers. Uh.
The only real concern I have, and this is really
weird for LSU offensively, is running back. And we're just
(04:39):
used to like the next dude after the next dude,
after the next dude. Be it, you know, Kevin Falk,
Cecil Collins, Leonard Fournette, whoever it is. It just there
seems to always be a guy. And it's not that
it's bad, it's not that it's going to cost him games.
It's just not super dynamic like we've always been used to.
And then defensively, I think you have the best defensive
player in the SEC in Harrol Perkins. No one, and
(05:03):
I mean nobody. There's a lot of things in college
football the people aren't talking about right now. No one's
talking about Mason Smith. Nobody. It's like people don't even
know the kid existed. And I know he got hurt
in the first game. But I can remember when he
got on campus talking to coach O about him and
he's like, cool, that kid could play d n for us.
I'm like, he's six ' six, like three twenty and
he's like, I'm telling you he's flexible enough, loose enough,
(05:24):
athletic enough. So mkay Wingo was one of the most
underrated players in the league last year. Mason Smith will
be next to him. Are they as good off the
edge as they have been? Maybe not, But man, you
got a lot coming back on that defense, and I
think Matt House is exceptional and he'll have a lot
more ways to sort of tinker with his bodies on
that side of the football. So yeah, I think based
on what you have in a starting quarterback returning the weapons,
(05:47):
he's got, the familiarity. I mean, that's the other part.
We talked about the offensive line developing. I mean, it
took him three four games to figure out how to
make Jaden Daniels comfortable and give him the best chance
to succeed. Like, I had a really cool conversation with
Jack Marucci. We had the Southern game, and he said
they did some kind of a study in his completion
percentage when the ball was snapped before nineteen seconds on
(06:10):
the playclock and after nineteen seconds and it went from
like seventy eight to forty two. He's like, so obviously
the kid likes to go fast, so you know what,
we're gonna go faster at times and trying to make
him more successful. He wants to run the ball, why
let him scramble. Let's design some of these runs for
him breaking be even bigger plays. So now they all
know exactly what they are and they can sort of
(06:30):
build things to a different extent.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Clip Man, I'm gonna take ty Buckner out of this
conversation just because I think we kind of know what
he is and what he could be at Alabama, because
you know, we kind of saw that obviously last year
in her name. So I'm gonna say Tysimpson is the
starting quarterback. Tys Simpson gets a starting job at Alabama,
He's the guy. If he turns out to be a dude,
(06:53):
a guy that is a twenty five to thirty touchdowns
five interceptions, like a really really good core back in
this league, does that change the narrative of all of
what that game's gonna look like in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
First off, let's go back to losing weight here for
a second. Is did you just go in on the
hair or have you actually lost them months? Because we're
not doing our show in the afternoon anymore. So I
haven't seen you in like two months, and I can't
tell fifteen. I can't tell if you went in or
if your face is just skinnier. I can't honestly don't
(07:27):
know the difference.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Two for one, it's like a little double bill double
fisting tea bop.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
How do you have fifteen pounds to lose? Aarin? What?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
There's always fifteen pounds to lose teapop? So I lost fifteen.
I got a little high and tight peaky blinders haircuts both,
and you're feeling nice and slim.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Look at Aaron and his old man and his son
their father's day picture. The most impeccable hair. I havel
airdel Man had just this like beautiful full head of
like perfectly gray, well manicured anything. How about not like
the lights, you know, very thick looking still just just
(08:08):
fantastic job by the Murray household on the followicle front.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Great.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
What sucks about that is my dad also has great hair.
But I guess they say that skips the generation.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I know it's the mom.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I thought it's some of your If your mother's if
your mom's dad, your grandfather on that side has hair
or good hair, you're gonna have good hair.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It could be it. That could be. I was trying
to see if I had like a picture real fast,
I could flash up and show you guys, but I'm
not able to get to it. So I think, no
matter who it is, Aaron, if Alabama has let's just
say twenty five and five and nearing seventy percent completed,
They're gonna be just fine because I think what we
what we forget about with Alabama. And like Tiba mentioned
(08:52):
my podcast last this past Sunday, I did best player
at each position in the SEC, and I think a
lot of people, not you guys. You guys are sorted
in the footprint. You get it. Like t Bob's done
this whole Star Wars Alabama thing. Everybody knows how he
feels like Aaron covers the SEC every day, like you
know Alabama And obviously we've had a lot of Georgia
Bama games, but I think outside of our footprint, if
(09:14):
they went through my list and said, wow, you have
like four or five guys that are the best player
at their positions from Alabama, they would be really surprised
by that, Whereas I mean, we know they're still gonna
be really good in a lot of spots. But there's
so many people in Nashley that are saying, up, they
can't get it done, or it's gonna be a nine
win football team. Like this is sabans least talented roster.
Like they still have the best edge defender in the league,
(09:34):
they still have maybe the best interior defensive lineman in
the league. And then I think they have a couple
other positions. They have the best corner in the league,
and I think there are a couple other positions that
could elevate and maybe be the best. But like I
think they have the best guard and Tyler excuse me,
Taylor Booker and fifty two. I think he's the best
offensive guard in the league. So I don't think a
(09:56):
lot of people realize how talented the roster really is.
So if you get a quarterback that's above average, collectively,
that group of running backs collectively, that group of wide
receivers collectively, that group of tight ends along with they
have defensively, they're gonna be fine. And I think Nick
Saban is actually looking forward to having a team that's
not as reliant on individuals like that's been a quarterback
(10:18):
laden team the last couple they've gone as far as
their quarterback went, they've had a guy or two on
defense that is pretty much dictated. Are they dominant, are
they not dominant? And so I think maybe getting back
to playing a little more team ball on both sides
of the ball. He's probably excited about that, happy about that.
And if they get above average quarterback play and listen,
I don't use this in a negative connotation. Managing the game,
(10:40):
operating the offense successfully, those things are actually very positive
correlations for me. If they get that, they're still gonna
be pretty damn good.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Well, I'm not asking pretty damn good or not. I'm
more asking the sense of because I think they're gonna
be pret damn good regardless of if he's a guy
or not a guy. But in the sense of I
think all three of us believe Ilshue is the team
that beat in the way this year, but good enough
to beat LSU. Like that's a question like can they
get to Atlanta if he's good enough, or is it
or is lsu' starters just better than Alabama starters this season?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I don't think top to bottom they are. But the
reason that even if their quarterback play is just above
average they can still beat LSU is they have takeover
guys like Jahim Motives can take over a game, like
Dallas Turner can take over a game. I think they
will have a running back separate that'll be able to
take over a game. They have different receivers that could
at certain points in time. Their offensive line might be
(11:35):
one it's gonna be better this year. Can that be
a dominant group that can just go out and take
over a game? So I still think they have Listen
for me, when you have teams that the talent is
about even all the way down, Yeah, there's gonna be
certain positions like do you have an elite pass rusher,
do you have any elite quarterback? Do you have a
receiver that can't be stopped? All those things? It comes
down to like who how many guys you have that
(11:56):
can go take over that game? Now LSU's got him
because we don't hear Perkins basically won the Arkansas game.
By himself last year. I mean, there are receivers Malik
Neighbors can go take over a game at any point
in time. So I don't think I wouldn't count Alabama
out as being able to go win that game against
CELUSU or still win the West, because they're still gonna
have guys that can go out and single handling win games.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Cole, Look, this is a couple of linemen. Look, we
know Aaron doesn't know anything about offensive line playing. Okay,
it's it's it's it's unbelievable having to listen to him
every week. Wait, hold on, girls, girls should just secute down.
What do y'all think is there? Is there is there
an offensive line coal that makes a team like in
(12:39):
the SEC right now? Is there a no line that
makes a team just significantly better or like more relevant
than they should be? Maybe a bit of a dark
corse a line somebody you're not thinking of that You're like, hey,
watch out for this group. Now by the end of
the year, you might, you might, you might be worried
about playing them. Maybe old miss Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Because I think they have of a potential first round tackle.
They got a three year starter at center, and they
got four guys that have played a ton of football. Now,
I will also say that is aided by if Michael
Trigg is healthy finally at tight end and he's sort
of gotten his act together and actually loves football, which
doesn't happen overnight. But this kid, Cayden Priestcorn that they
(13:20):
got from Memphis, he's a dude, like he's an MF or.
He has some physicality to that offense and that the
tight end is very important in that offense. So by
having two tight ends that they're gonna be able to
move around, play with, tinker with formation, motion, shift whatever,
I think that'll give them an advantage first off. And
you know this t Bob like, they have the best
(13:41):
running back in college football in my opinion, So they're
gonna look better than they are no matter what. Like
the people are gonna be like, man, that old miss
offensive line killing people. It's like, well, the running back's
just really good. But I mean it's like a couple
of years ago, Florida after three weeks when they had
a running quarterback was like, we got best all out
of college football, averaging three ondre yards rushing the game. It'sctually, guys,
haven't blocked anybody. It's just the kid makes people miss
(14:02):
and goes for seventy yards. So but that's one that
I would look at and say, if they actually exceed
expectations a little bit because of what they've done in
the portal, a wide receiver like the kid they got
from LA Tech's gonna be really good. And they got
a big time receiver from UTSA, So that answers a
lot of those questions. If the old line gets going
and the actually it's the other side for them, that's
(14:23):
going to be really cool to watch. I think they
are going to be more different on the interior of
their defensive line is maybe they've ever been and I
mean that, I know they've had Kimdchi and they've had
some like I know they had Benito Jones, but they
have the kid they got from NC State can really play.
And then you get maybe the best edge defender in
the portal, the kid from JMU, And you've got a
(14:45):
couple of guys coming back inside like they're just they're different, man, Like,
they haven't got had big, heavy, wide, thick bodies that
can strike and shed in a long time, and now
they got a couple of those guys. So if Pete
Goldie makes the defense a little bit better and that
offensive one gets going, that's one that I think could
maybe make them different than what people think right now.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Just to stay in the offensive lines. And Seabay doesn't
think I know anything about offensive line. Kentucky offensive line
obviously took a massive step back last year. I mean
that's a team that has been built on consistently, especially
in the trenches, and not old school football, but a
little bit more ground and pound, eat at the clock,
wear teams out, a little bit, protect the football, all
that good stuff. They weren't that last year. And it
(15:27):
kind of started with initially that offensive line. They got
to get better at the receiving position. You know, we'll
see what Olarly looks like at quarterback. But when it
comes to the way that Mark wants to win football games,
there a Kentucky. Like I said, it kind of feels
to me like offensive line is the key to that success.
Where are they going to be like this year in
the trenches and as a football team as a whole,
Because I kind of feel like Kentucky right now is
(15:48):
an interesting spot where you add Texas in Oklahoma next
year they build up all this credibility and sec average
year last year. If they have another average year this year,
I think they kind of essentially just disappears.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
They I think that's the biggest question mark for them.
Aaron and I think it could be the difference between
three games in the Winter lost came. I really do, uh,
because if you first off, Coach Stoops is not going
to get away from their blueprint like that. That's the
foundation of what they've been. They've been a physical like
I've said about them so many times the last couple
of years, like that team might be more talented, but
(16:23):
the Kentucky group is the one I'd least like to
fight in a back alley like They just heavy handed physicality,
played with the whistle, you know, not quite as twitchy,
not quite as fast, not as sleek and athletic, but
just you probably would. They'd be a bigger headache to
go up against most years. And that's their O line
and their D line. They have the best receiving corps
I think that Kentucky's ever had in the history of
(16:46):
the of the program. Dame Key can go, barry On
Brown can go. Tavon Robinson wasn't as good as we
thought he was going to be last year. But if
he has some kind of a bounce back year, like,
they're gonna be three wide with legit SEC wide receivers.
They've never had that before. And don't forget about Ray Davis,
who was really good at Vanderbilt last year. I thought
he was the most underrated back in the league. They
(17:06):
just got to get part of it figured out. The
Marquez Cox kid, coming from Northern Illinois. I studied him.
He's a pretty good player. I don't see him as
a dominant SEC player. Jagger Burn's gonna go back down
to center, Eli Cox will go to guard. I think
that's more natural for both of those guys. They've got
to find a right tackle. They don't have one right now,
so number one got to stay healthy because they don't
have the depth. They just don't. They took a couple
(17:27):
of kids that can help with depth, but I don't
think they're starters. But if that group does figure it out, Aaron,
I think Kentucky's dangerous because JJ Weaver is really good
off the edge. I think Trevin Wallace can be really
good off the ball linebacker, and Brad White is way
underrated as a decordinator vastly underrated. They can be a
really good football team, but that online's got to be
(17:48):
like B plus for that to happen. But also keep
in mind here, so you bring Liam Cohen back and
he's gonna live and down the stretch play like they'll
They'll build everything off the stretch play, so as T
Bob can attend. You don't have to be a just
road greater around. You don't have to be Alan Fanica
or Quentin Nelson to be good running the stretch play
(18:09):
like you gotta know your steps, you're fundamentals. You gotta
played in.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Those old Broncos OH lines with Alex s Gibbs. They
won this year ago guy for three so super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
If they have a good feel for that, then that
can help them out a lot. That's gonna give Learry
a chance to run some heavy bootlegs, play action, take
some shots up top. And I don't think SEC fans
realize how good of a quarterback he is, like and
when he's healthy, and that's another part of the line.
Got to keep him healthy to have some success. So
I think a good healthy Kentucky offensive line nine wins
(18:42):
last year Kentucky a line six wins, Like, I think
that's that's how much difference it's gonna make for that
football team this year.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Cole, let's talk Auburn. We see the two Auburn jerseys
behind you, and I don't I really care about like
this year or names. I'm wondering about the kind of
general belief in Hugh Freeze because I'm I'm coming around. Man.
It feels like the right fit. We all know talent
and Freezes. It feels like he's done a good job
of kind of rallying the boosters in Recruen. Like, what's
(19:13):
the overall feel and how are you feel about the
long term potential of Hugh Freeze's Auburn You know what
you just.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Said to Bob is probably what people should pay the
most attention to, but you kind of can't. There's no
way to really validate it. A lot of times, there's
more alignment inside the Auburn athletic department right now than
honestly I can ever remember. And keep in mind, I
was playing when Terry Ballden got fired, I was playing
when Tubberville was there. I've always followed the program. But
(19:42):
Malazan comes in and there's the contract extension by one
faction of the Boosters. The others apparently didn't want it. Tuberville,
I mean, obviously Jetgate, they tried to run him. He
comes back, beats Alabama. I mean, it's like back and forth,
back and forth. But I think the top of the
total pull from a Booster perspective wanted Freeze. They got
their guy. Well, the people who were running the collective
(20:04):
got their act together. They're happy with free So now
that thing is behind him, aiding with getting guys from
the portal recruits and keeping kids happy whatever that is.
So and then now he's gone, they're going out. They're
getting kids in that they've never gotten in before. As
far as caliber players. He's got a linebacker from Tuskegee
that Georgia was legitimately on, Bama was legitimately on. It's
(20:26):
like Bud Elliott told me that night I was talking
to him. He's like, you see a lot of these
things where the hats are out, and you might have LSU,
Texas and Georgia and Bama, but like, really, you know,
the other hat that they chose was for a reason.
They were considering those, but those schools might not have
been considering them. Like, this kid was different. He really
was being considered by those schools, and you look what
he did in the portal. Man, he went out and
(20:48):
got the best quarterback on the roster, the best tight
end on the roster, the two best tackles on the roster,
the best center on the roster, the best interior d
lineman on the roster, the best edge rusher on the roster,
the two best receivers on the roster, and the two
best linebackers on the roster. Like half of the starters
this year are gonna be guys they got in the.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Portal very Brian Kelly like from last year.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's a little bit of an indictment on what was
happening before. But when you roll that into the high
school recruiting success, that looks like they're having. Yeah, there's
a lot to be excited about. And that alignment is
key because they have everything in place to be able
to now just sell Auburn and sell the SEC and
sell some real playing time to be able to come
in and make a go of it. So that's the
(21:32):
first hurdle. The next hurdle is organizing all of it
and then motivating all of it to go actually play
in games, and as we all know, you got to
be organized on the same page and you got to
be motivated to win football games. So there are two
massive hurdles in front of them, but I do think
that he's crossed the first one with flying colors.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Hello there, fellow homeowner, I've got some very exciting news

big scenario here, twenty twenty four. We go ahead next
year twelve team playoff SEC has eight SEC games. Say
that doesn't change or no discussions really move the needle
just yet. SEC puts four teams in the playoffs year
(23:27):
one with that amazing eight game schedule. I think anyone
was really complaining once that schedule actually came out, and
we have to kind of really feel and touch and
see what it would look like with Texas Oklahoma involved
four teams in ESPN does not come back with any
more money for a ninth game? Does the SEC change
in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Not if there's no more money. No, I don't think so.
I mean my opinion is just that this was before
we knew we were going to eight. Is that Greg
Sankie had that one, you know, ace in his sleeve,
like he had one trump card to be able to
play when it to really elevating the ability to go
generate more revenue, and that is saying, hey, guess what,
(24:07):
I can change our inventory by adding an extra conference game,
and that's gonna give you X amount of better games
that more people are gonna care about, more people want
to watch, have more playoff implications, and you're gonna have
those available to you on your network. Why you would
offer that up for nothing extra? Not only do I
not know, I don't. I wouldn't, nobody would. So I
(24:28):
do think something gets done and it gets to nine
and twenty five. But if the television networks did say,
you know, no, we just can't do it, We're not
going to do it, I think you save that. I
think you hold it, and you say, if we want
the next deal to be bigger and better, and we
want to be able to generate more down the road.
We have to save this for the next time that
(24:50):
we negotiate, and then that's our ultimate negotiating employee, is
that we'll ramp it up. We'll go to nine games,
you'll have this much more inventory, and therefore it all
makes sense and you will get that check somewhere somehow.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean that makes all the sense
in the world. I feel like a lot of my
arguments that was making it just sound stupid. Now Cole
cublick Cube Show at Cube Show sixty one on YouTube.
Go check it out, like subscribe to the channel. Also
YouTube dot com slash at volume snaps while you're there, dude,
you can do both. Also wherever you get podcasts about hey, hey, mermaids, mermaids.
(25:22):
Hold on, girls, I got a couple of mermaids here.
All right, we got to go, Cole, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I got I got one more before we get out
of here. Can I get one more thing in real quick? Yeah?
Well we got. I don't know if you've ever asked this,
T Bob, but I gotta ask Murray because you and
I didn't have this we didn't do this stuff on
our helmets. I've always wondered, like, how the fuck do
you get one of those bones on your helmet? Because
you guys have like seven thousand you breed, you just breathe.
(25:48):
Do you get one of those for showing up to
practice every day you wear your uniform?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
A lot of that is hard work, right there?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
What's a black bone?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, cold, no, what's remember
what the blackt is?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Maybe black waves for the win.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
It's a successful CQ exchange. Every successful SEQ exchange you get. Hey,
you get a dog bone for the help here.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
And give us something like, how do you do you
throw a touchdown?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Touchdowns?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
You get touchdowns? Every position is different. So I think
for quarterbacks that they get a bone. Was touchdown if
you hit a certain completion percentage, you got a bone.
If you got like for every maybe fifty yards, you
got a bone, or maybe it was one hundred yards,
you got a bone. Obviously you would lose a bone
for turnovers interceptions. Bubbo if he's just mad at me,
(26:36):
would take a bone away too. So that's that's kind
of how it worked for the quarterbacks. Running back would
be like touchdown you know, offensive line, no sacks giving
up stuff like that. If you get one hundred yard
rusher OFFENSI lineman and get a bone.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That's There's not stupid stuff like GPA in there where
you get a bone for is there.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Like no, no, no, I do think that if you
get it's like I think Rick whatever now they'd like
and it does get bones?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Play?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Absolutely, dude, absolutely, Okay, what thing?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
It's an il deal the week is going to get
a bone. I'm sure nowadays you know.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Throw a dog a bone. I mean I I used
to think helmet stickers are so cool when I was
like nine years old. Dude, I thought they were the high.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
State having half your helmet covered. Yeah, it's just like
and then like you would watch Georgia play and Pollock
had literally half and like then three corners of the
other side and all the other guys on defense had
like half of what Murray has. You're like, man, does
he house make a play?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I mean, Aaron, that's intimidating as hell.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
You come on the field you see Pollock with half
his helt filled with boge, Like that's a badass.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Okay, that is kind of true. It's like an ancient tribal. Yeah,
it's like an ancient way of like you step on
the battlefield. You may not know anything about this guy,
but you immediately know, oh crap, like he's done something.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, I know that. Like when you lined up across
from like Andre watts Worth and he had like half
his helmet of tomahawks, or like the whole front was tomahawks.
You're just like, this dude's hit some quarterbacks, Like we
better cut him on the first play.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's like plumage. It's like Spartan
plumage back in the day in the helmet. Just an
intimidation factor. Hey, Cole, I want we got it there,
I got we gotta go, But I want you to
join me on this. Think about it though. Don't answer now.
Georgia will not win three national championships in a roun Okay,
we have not seen it since nineteen thirties Minnesota for
(28:31):
a reason. Don't respond now. Just chew on it. Okay,
just chew on it and come back to me. Georgia
will not win three Natties in a row. Cole Kublick

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Jealous of you and I don't know about tonight. T
I'm gonna be honest, I'm a little bit nervous for
your tigers. I know you've been talking a lot of
trash past month or so. When it comes to this
LSU Tennessee, I think you're gonna be eating your words tonight. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Okay, okay, Well, we also have a man who used
to eat a lot, doesn't look like he eats his
a lot anymore. And that's the Peloton Master himself, Cole Kubrick.

(01:44):
what's up? Brother? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Man?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
How you doing today?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Do you like the Yoga Master? Two hundred and twenty
pounds and you're talking about how I don't eat food anymore?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
No, no, no, brother, look look look I mean I
meant that, and I don't have to be clear. I'm
not talking about shaming. No, no, I think you know.
I know good? You look great, dude and top ten
personality on Big Game Boomer's Top one hundred lists.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I feel like I still love but that's it's okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, Why did T Bob get left off? Though? I
think T Bob definitely deserves a spot. You got some
you had some who.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Did he go Hester for.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Thirty Ester spears. I'm sure Ryan Clark's on there somewhere.
There's a lot of l s U on there.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
There's Ay, don't really even talk about college football anymore.
So I'm gonna give Hester the lane over you just
because I feel like he buttons his shirt. But other
than that, that's.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
What I'm going to tell you, the same thing I
told Big Game Boomer on my radio show. Okay, eat
my ass, and that goes Dusty as well, and it
goes for you, Air Murray. Okay, because as I told
you earlier, I was out there taking a walk on
the beach, stormy skies, big waves, and I'm looking at
this ocean. It looks incredibly intimidating. But you know what
it showed me. Nobody ever did anything worth while by
(03:00):
being scared. Okay, so I ain't scared. If you're scared,
go to church, buy a dog. I ain't scared of
Tennessee Tony Vintello, Drew Beemore about to beat that volunteer
ass tonight and Lshoot will survive in advance. That's what's
gonna happen here. Aaron Murray, I'm sorry this is not
LSU baseball.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It's fun. I thought we were talking about big a
boomer list, and you went right back into cause World Series.
It's a great transition in your apartment.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
My brain is firing all over the place. There's a
lot of emotions going on right now.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Anger.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
We've been in the house because of the rain all day.
But I did Hey, but you want to talk about
good omen thought I lost my phone. Found my phone? Boys,
But all right, let's get into it cool because why
else the vibes are super high right now is uh
we're close to football boys a couple months away, and uh,
let's start with the big one debate we've had on
this show. Should the LSU Tigers actually be the favorite
(03:55):
to win the West this year?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yes? In my opinion, I think they should number one.
You're they're the defending division champions, they won the last
a year ago. You get a returning quarterback. You had
to shuffle the cards all on that offensive line for
the first what four or five games of the year
last year. Now you have a pretty good idea of
what it's going to be. I think you have some
real depth at that position. Now, you brought a couple
(04:18):
of transfers in that aren't really going to be expected
to start, but can give you bodies if you did
lose somebody. Again, you have two tackles returning, which not
a lot of teams can say. Solid tight end. I
think neck and neck with Ohio State. Best receiving corps
in college football if you're talking just wide receivers. Uh.
The only real concern I have, and this is really
weird for LSU offensively, is running back. And we're just
(04:39):
used to like the next dude after the next dude,
after the next dude. Be it, you know, Kevin Falk,
Cecil Collins, Leonard Fournette, whoever it is. It just there
seems to always be a guy. And it's not that
it's bad, it's not that it's going to cost him games.
It's just not super dynamic like we've always been used to.
And then defensively, I think you have the best defensive
player in the SEC in Harrol Perkins. No one, and
(05:03):
I mean nobody. There's a lot of things in college
football the people aren't talking about right now. No one's
talking about Mason Smith. Nobody. It's like people don't even
know the kid existed. And I know he got hurt
in the first game. But I can remember when he
got on campus talking to coach O about him and
he's like, cool, that kid could play d n for us.
I'm like, he's six ' six, like three twenty and
he's like, I'm telling you he's flexible enough, loose enough,
(05:24):
athletic enough. So mkay Wingo was one of the most
underrated players in the league last year. Mason Smith will
be next to him. Are they as good off the
edge as they have been? Maybe not, But man, you
got a lot coming back on that defense, and I
think Matt House is exceptional and he'll have a lot
more ways to sort of tinker with his bodies on
that side of the football. So yeah, I think based
on what you have in a starting quarterback returning the weapons,
(05:47):
he's got, the familiarity. I mean, that's the other part.
We talked about the offensive line developing. I mean, it
took him three four games to figure out how to
make Jaden Daniels comfortable and give him the best chance
to succeed. Like, I had a really cool conversation with
Jack Marucci. We had the Southern game, and he said
they did some kind of a study in his completion
percentage when the ball was snapped before nineteen seconds on
(06:10):
the playclock and after nineteen seconds and it went from
like seventy eight to forty two. He's like, so obviously
the kid likes to go fast, so you know what,
we're gonna go faster at times and trying to make
him more successful. He wants to run the ball, why
let him scramble. Let's design some of these runs for
him breaking be even bigger plays. So now they all
know exactly what they are and they can sort of
(06:30):
build things to a different extent.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Clip Man, I'm gonna take ty Buckner out of this
conversation just because I think we kind of know what
he is and what he could be at Alabama, because
you know, we kind of saw that obviously last year
in her name. So I'm gonna say Tysimpson is the
starting quarterback. Tys Simpson gets a starting job at Alabama,
He's the guy. If he turns out to be a dude,
(06:53):
a guy that is a twenty five to thirty touchdowns
five interceptions, like a really really good core back in
this league, does that change the narrative of all of
what that game's gonna look like in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
First off, let's go back to losing weight here for
a second. Is did you just go in on the
hair or have you actually lost them months? Because we're
not doing our show in the afternoon anymore. So I
haven't seen you in like two months, and I can't
tell fifteen. I can't tell if you went in or
if your face is just skinnier. I can't honestly don't
(07:27):
know the difference.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Two for one, it's like a little double bill double
fisting tea bop.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
How do you have fifteen pounds to lose? Aarin? What?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
There's always fifteen pounds to lose teapop? So I lost fifteen.
I got a little high and tight peaky blinders haircuts both,
and you're feeling nice and slim.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Look at Aaron and his old man and his son
their father's day picture. The most impeccable hair. I havel
airdel Man had just this like beautiful full head of
like perfectly gray, well manicured anything. How about not like
the lights, you know, very thick looking still just just
(08:08):
fantastic job by the Murray household on the followicle front.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Great.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
What sucks about that is my dad also has great hair.
But I guess they say that skips the generation.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I know it's the mom.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I thought it's some of your If your mother's if
your mom's dad, your grandfather on that side has hair
or good hair, you're gonna have good hair.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It could be it. That could be. I was trying
to see if I had like a picture real fast,
I could flash up and show you guys, but I'm
not able to get to it. So I think, no
matter who it is, Aaron, if Alabama has let's just
say twenty five and five and nearing seventy percent completed,
They're gonna be just fine because I think what we
what we forget about with Alabama. And like Tiba mentioned
(08:52):
my podcast last this past Sunday, I did best player
at each position in the SEC, and I think a
lot of people, not you guys. You guys are sorted
in the footprint. You get it. Like t Bob's done
this whole Star Wars Alabama thing. Everybody knows how he
feels like Aaron covers the SEC every day, like you
know Alabama And obviously we've had a lot of Georgia
Bama games, but I think outside of our footprint, if
(09:14):
they went through my list and said, wow, you have
like four or five guys that are the best player
at their positions from Alabama, they would be really surprised
by that, Whereas I mean, we know they're still gonna
be really good in a lot of spots. But there's
so many people in Nashley that are saying, up, they
can't get it done, or it's gonna be a nine
win football team. Like this is sabans least talented roster.
Like they still have the best edge defender in the league,
(09:34):
they still have maybe the best interior defensive lineman in
the league. And then I think they have a couple
other positions. They have the best corner in the league,
and I think there are a couple other positions that
could elevate and maybe be the best. But like I
think they have the best guard and Tyler excuse me,
Taylor Booker and fifty two. I think he's the best
offensive guard in the league. So I don't think a
(09:56):
lot of people realize how talented the roster really is.
So if you get a quarterback that's above average, collectively,
that group of running backs collectively, that group of wide
receivers collectively, that group of tight ends along with they
have defensively, they're gonna be fine. And I think Nick
Saban is actually looking forward to having a team that's
not as reliant on individuals like that's been a quarterback
(10:18):
laden team the last couple they've gone as far as
their quarterback went, they've had a guy or two on
defense that is pretty much dictated. Are they dominant, are
they not dominant? And so I think maybe getting back
to playing a little more team ball on both sides
of the ball. He's probably excited about that, happy about that.
And if they get above average quarterback play and listen,
I don't use this in a negative connotation. Managing the game,
(10:40):
operating the offense successfully, those things are actually very positive
correlations for me. If they get that, they're still gonna
be pretty damn good.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Well, I'm not asking pretty damn good or not. I'm
more asking the sense of because I think they're gonna
be pret damn good regardless of if he's a guy
or not a guy. But in the sense of I
think all three of us believe Ilshue is the team
that beat in the way this year, but good enough
to beat LSU. Like that's a question like can they
get to Atlanta if he's good enough, or is it
or is lsu' starters just better than Alabama starters this season?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I don't think top to bottom they are. But the
reason that even if their quarterback play is just above
average they can still beat LSU is they have takeover
guys like Jahim Motives can take over a game, like
Dallas Turner can take over a game. I think they
will have a running back separate that'll be able to
take over a game. They have different receivers that could
at certain points in time. Their offensive line might be
(11:35):
one it's gonna be better this year. Can that be
a dominant group that can just go out and take
over a game? So I still think they have Listen
for me, when you have teams that the talent is
about even all the way down, Yeah, there's gonna be
certain positions like do you have an elite pass rusher,
do you have any elite quarterback? Do you have a
receiver that can't be stopped? All those things? It comes
down to like who how many guys you have that
(11:56):
can go take over that game? Now LSU's got him
because we don't hear Perkins basically won the Arkansas game.
By himself last year. I mean, there are receivers Malik
Neighbors can go take over a game at any point
in time. So I don't think I wouldn't count Alabama
out as being able to go win that game against
CELUSU or still win the West, because they're still gonna
have guys that can go out and single handling win games.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Cole, Look, this is a couple of linemen. Look, we
know Aaron doesn't know anything about offensive line playing. Okay,
it's it's it's it's unbelievable having to listen to him
every week. Wait, hold on, girls, girls should just secute down.
What do y'all think is there? Is there is there
an offensive line coal that makes a team like in
(12:39):
the SEC right now? Is there a no line that
makes a team just significantly better or like more relevant
than they should be? Maybe a bit of a dark
corse a line somebody you're not thinking of that You're like, hey,
watch out for this group. Now by the end of
the year, you might, you might, you might be worried
about playing them. Maybe old miss Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Because I think they have of a potential first round tackle.
They got a three year starter at center, and they
got four guys that have played a ton of football. Now,
I will also say that is aided by if Michael
Trigg is healthy finally at tight end and he's sort
of gotten his act together and actually loves football, which
doesn't happen overnight. But this kid, Cayden Priestcorn that they
(13:20):
got from Memphis, he's a dude, like he's an MF or.
He has some physicality to that offense and that the
tight end is very important in that offense. So by
having two tight ends that they're gonna be able to
move around, play with, tinker with formation, motion, shift whatever,
I think that'll give them an advantage first off. And
you know this t Bob like, they have the best
(13:41):
running back in college football in my opinion, So they're
gonna look better than they are no matter what. Like
the people are gonna be like, man, that old miss
offensive line killing people. It's like, well, the running back's
just really good. But I mean it's like a couple
of years ago, Florida after three weeks when they had
a running quarterback was like, we got best all out
of college football, averaging three ondre yards rushing the game. It'sctually, guys,
haven't blocked anybody. It's just the kid makes people miss
(14:02):
and goes for seventy yards. So but that's one that
I would look at and say, if they actually exceed
expectations a little bit because of what they've done in
the portal, a wide receiver like the kid they got
from LA Tech's gonna be really good. And they got
a big time receiver from UTSA, So that answers a
lot of those questions. If the old line gets going
and the actually it's the other side for them, that's
(14:23):
going to be really cool to watch. I think they
are going to be more different on the interior of
their defensive line is maybe they've ever been and I
mean that, I know they've had Kimdchi and they've had
some like I know they had Benito Jones, but they
have the kid they got from NC State can really play.
And then you get maybe the best edge defender in
the portal, the kid from JMU, And you've got a
(14:45):
couple of guys coming back inside like they're just they're different, man, Like,
they haven't got had big, heavy, wide, thick bodies that
can strike and shed in a long time, and now
they got a couple of those guys. So if Pete
Goldie makes the defense a little bit better and that
offensive one gets going, that's one that I think could
maybe make them different than what people think right now.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Just to stay in the offensive lines. And Seabay doesn't
think I know anything about offensive line. Kentucky offensive line
obviously took a massive step back last year. I mean
that's a team that has been built on consistently, especially
in the trenches, and not old school football, but a
little bit more ground and pound, eat at the clock,
wear teams out, a little bit, protect the football, all
that good stuff. They weren't that last year. And it
(15:27):
kind of started with initially that offensive line. They got
to get better at the receiving position. You know, we'll
see what Olarly looks like at quarterback. But when it
comes to the way that Mark wants to win football games,
there a Kentucky. Like I said, it kind of feels
to me like offensive line is the key to that success.
Where are they going to be like this year in
the trenches and as a football team as a whole,
Because I kind of feel like Kentucky right now is
(15:48):
an interesting spot where you add Texas in Oklahoma next
year they build up all this credibility and sec average
year last year. If they have another average year this year,
I think they kind of essentially just disappears.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
They I think that's the biggest question mark for them.
Aaron and I think it could be the difference between
three games in the Winter lost came. I really do, uh,
because if you first off, Coach Stoops is not going
to get away from their blueprint like that. That's the
foundation of what they've been. They've been a physical like
I've said about them so many times the last couple
of years, like that team might be more talented, but
(16:23):
the Kentucky group is the one I'd least like to
fight in a back alley like They just heavy handed physicality,
played with the whistle, you know, not quite as twitchy,
not quite as fast, not as sleek and athletic, but
just you probably would. They'd be a bigger headache to
go up against most years. And that's their O line
and their D line. They have the best receiving corps
I think that Kentucky's ever had in the history of
(16:46):
the of the program. Dame Key can go, barry On
Brown can go. Tavon Robinson wasn't as good as we
thought he was going to be last year. But if
he has some kind of a bounce back year, like,
they're gonna be three wide with legit SEC wide receivers.
They've never had that before. And don't forget about Ray Davis,
who was really good at Vanderbilt last year. I thought
he was the most underrated back in the league. They
(17:06):
just got to get part of it figured out. The
Marquez Cox kid, coming from Northern Illinois. I studied him.
He's a pretty good player. I don't see him as
a dominant SEC player. Jagger Burn's gonna go back down
to center, Eli Cox will go to guard. I think
that's more natural for both of those guys. They've got
to find a right tackle. They don't have one right now,
so number one got to stay healthy because they don't
have the depth. They just don't. They took a couple
(17:27):
of kids that can help with depth, but I don't
think they're starters. But if that group does figure it out, Aaron,
I think Kentucky's dangerous because JJ Weaver is really good
off the edge. I think Trevin Wallace can be really
good off the ball linebacker, and Brad White is way
underrated as a decordinator vastly underrated. They can be a
really good football team, but that online's got to be
(17:48):
like B plus for that to happen. But also keep
in mind here, so you bring Liam Cohen back and
he's gonna live and down the stretch play like they'll
They'll build everything off the stretch play, so as T
Bob can attend. You don't have to be a just
road greater around. You don't have to be Alan Fanica
or Quentin Nelson to be good running the stretch play
(18:09):
like you gotta know your steps, you're fundamentals. You gotta
played in.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Those old Broncos OH lines with Alex s Gibbs. They
won this year ago guy for three so super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
If they have a good feel for that, then that
can help them out a lot. That's gonna give Learry
a chance to run some heavy bootlegs, play action, take
some shots up top. And I don't think SEC fans
realize how good of a quarterback he is, like and
when he's healthy, and that's another part of the line.
Got to keep him healthy to have some success. So
I think a good healthy Kentucky offensive line nine wins
(18:42):
last year Kentucky a line six wins, Like, I think
that's that's how much difference it's gonna make for that
football team this year.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Cole, let's talk Auburn. We see the two Auburn jerseys
behind you, and I don't I really care about like
this year or names. I'm wondering about the kind of
general belief in Hugh Freeze because I'm I'm coming around. Man.
It feels like the right fit. We all know talent
and Freezes. It feels like he's done a good job
of kind of rallying the boosters in Recruen. Like, what's
(19:13):
the overall feel and how are you feel about the
long term potential of Hugh Freeze's Auburn You know what
you just.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Said to Bob is probably what people should pay the
most attention to, but you kind of can't. There's no
way to really validate it. A lot of times, there's
more alignment inside the Auburn athletic department right now than
honestly I can ever remember. And keep in mind, I
was playing when Terry Ballden got fired, I was playing
when Tubberville was there. I've always followed the program. But
(19:42):
Malazan comes in and there's the contract extension by one
faction of the Boosters. The others apparently didn't want it. Tuberville,
I mean, obviously Jetgate, they tried to run him. He
comes back, beats Alabama. I mean, it's like back and forth,
back and forth. But I think the top of the
total pull from a Booster perspective wanted Freeze. They got
their guy. Well, the people who were running the collective
(20:04):
got their act together. They're happy with free So now
that thing is behind him, aiding with getting guys from
the portal recruits and keeping kids happy whatever that is.
So and then now he's gone, they're going out. They're
getting kids in that they've never gotten in before. As
far as caliber players. He's got a linebacker from Tuskegee
that Georgia was legitimately on, Bama was legitimately on. It's
(20:26):
like Bud Elliott told me that night I was talking
to him. He's like, you see a lot of these
things where the hats are out, and you might have LSU,
Texas and Georgia and Bama, but like, really, you know,
the other hat that they chose was for a reason.
They were considering those, but those schools might not have
been considering them. Like, this kid was different. He really
was being considered by those schools, and you look what
he did in the portal. Man, he went out and
(20:48):
got the best quarterback on the roster, the best tight
end on the roster, the two best tackles on the roster,
the best center on the roster, the best interior d
lineman on the roster, the best edge rusher on the roster,
the two best receivers on the roster, and the two
best linebackers on the roster. Like half of the starters
this year are gonna be guys they got in the.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Portal very Brian Kelly like from last year.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's a little bit of an indictment on what was
happening before. But when you roll that into the high
school recruiting success, that looks like they're having. Yeah, there's
a lot to be excited about. And that alignment is
key because they have everything in place to be able
to now just sell Auburn and sell the SEC and
sell some real playing time to be able to come
in and make a go of it. So that's the
(21:32):
first hurdle. The next hurdle is organizing all of it
and then motivating all of it to go actually play
in games, and as we all know, you got to
be organized on the same page and you got to
be motivated to win football games. So there are two
massive hurdles in front of them, but I do think
that he's crossed the first one with flying colors.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Hello there, fellow homeowner, I've got some very exciting news
for you. Okay, Angie's list is now just Angie, but
it's still your home for everything home. Look, I'm in
my house for about five years now and I absolutely
love it and I'm gonna go anywhere. But you know,
it's an older house of search. So so I didn't
get like the sidey redone. I'd to get the stuck overdune.
And although I may look like the epitome of a handyman,
(22:14):
it may shock you, dear viewer, but I am indeed
not handy. In fact, I don't know what the heck's
going on with any of this stuff. So you know
what I do. I get out my Angie app and
it's just a few simple tivioty tabs. I have access
to over two hundred and twenty thousand professionals from which
to choose. What I love is Look, I love Ben
Rouge right, and so it's all locally based and I
(22:35):
can actually look at the reviews of what other people
in my area who they've used. And so what I do.
I got on my Angie app. I got my jobs
lined up. I don't lift a finger and the side
in looks incredible, y'all. I basically live in my backyard
now and that's thanks to Angie. So what are you
waiting for? Download the Angie app today, an GI or
(22:57):
go to Angi dot com. That's anng dot com. Angie,
You're home for everything home.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
You both have kids talking in the background. I got
a dog barking at an insurance guy taking pictures inside
the house, so I had to mute for a quick second. There,
big scenario here, twenty twenty four. We go ahead next
year twelve team playoff SEC has eight SEC games. Say
that doesn't change or no discussions really move the needle
just yet. SEC puts four teams in the playoffs year
(23:27):
one with that amazing eight game schedule. I think anyone
was really complaining once that schedule actually came out, and
we have to kind of really feel and touch and
see what it would look like with Texas Oklahoma involved
four teams in ESPN does not come back with any
more money for a ninth game? Does the SEC change
in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Not if there's no more money. No, I don't think so.
I mean my opinion is just that this was before
we knew we were going to eight. Is that Greg
Sankie had that one, you know, ace in his sleeve,
like he had one trump card to be able to
play when it to really elevating the ability to go
generate more revenue, and that is saying, hey, guess what,
(24:07):
I can change our inventory by adding an extra conference game,
and that's gonna give you X amount of better games
that more people are gonna care about, more people want
to watch, have more playoff implications, and you're gonna have
those available to you on your network. Why you would
offer that up for nothing extra? Not only do I
not know, I don't. I wouldn't, nobody would. So I
(24:28):
do think something gets done and it gets to nine
and twenty five. But if the television networks did say,
you know, no, we just can't do it, We're not
going to do it, I think you save that. I
think you hold it, and you say, if we want
the next deal to be bigger and better, and we
want to be able to generate more down the road.
We have to save this for the next time that
(24:50):
we negotiate, and then that's our ultimate negotiating employee, is
that we'll ramp it up. We'll go to nine games,
you'll have this much more inventory, and therefore it all
makes sense and you will get that check somewhere somehow.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean that makes all the sense
in the world. I feel like a lot of my
arguments that was making it just sound stupid. Now Cole
cublick Cube Show at Cube Show sixty one on YouTube.
Go check it out, like subscribe to the channel. Also
YouTube dot com slash at volume snaps while you're there, dude,
you can do both. Also wherever you get podcasts about hey, hey, mermaids, mermaids.
(25:22):
Hold on, girls, I got a couple of mermaids here.
All right, we got to go, Cole, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I got I got one more before we get out
of here. Can I get one more thing in real quick? Yeah?
Well we got. I don't know if you've ever asked this,
T Bob, but I gotta ask Murray because you and
I didn't have this we didn't do this stuff on
our helmets. I've always wondered, like, how the fuck do
you get one of those bones on your helmet? Because
you guys have like seven thousand you breed, you just breathe.
(25:48):
Do you get one of those for showing up to
practice every day you wear your uniform?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
A lot of that is hard work, right there?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
What's a black bone?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, cold, no, what's remember
what the blackt is?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Maybe black waves for the win.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
It's a successful CQ exchange. Every successful SEQ exchange you get. Hey,
you get a dog bone for the help here.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
And give us something like, how do you do you
throw a touchdown?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Touchdowns?
Speaker 3 (26:14):
You get touchdowns? Every position is different. So I think
for quarterbacks that they get a bone. Was touchdown if
you hit a certain completion percentage, you got a bone.
If you got like for every maybe fifty yards, you
got a bone, or maybe it was one hundred yards,
you got a bone. Obviously you would lose a bone
for turnovers interceptions. Bubbo if he's just mad at me,
(26:36):
would take a bone away too. So that's that's kind
of how it worked for the quarterbacks. Running back would
be like touchdown you know, offensive line, no sacks giving
up stuff like that. If you get one hundred yard
rusher OFFENSI lineman and get a bone.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That's There's not stupid stuff like GPA in there where
you get a bone for is there.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Like no, no, no, I do think that if you
get it's like I think Rick whatever now they'd like
and it does get bones?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Play?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Absolutely, dude, absolutely, Okay, what thing?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
It's an il deal the week is going to get
a bone. I'm sure nowadays you know.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Throw a dog a bone. I mean I I used
to think helmet stickers are so cool when I was
like nine years old. Dude, I thought they were the high.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
State having half your helmet covered. Yeah, it's just like
and then like you would watch Georgia play and Pollock
had literally half and like then three corners of the
other side and all the other guys on defense had
like half of what Murray has. You're like, man, does
he house make a play?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I mean, Aaron, that's intimidating as hell.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
You come on the field you see Pollock with half
his helt filled with boge, Like that's a badass.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Okay, that is kind of true. It's like an ancient tribal. Yeah,
it's like an ancient way of like you step on
the battlefield. You may not know anything about this guy,
but you immediately know, oh crap, like he's done something.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, I know that. Like when you lined up across
from like Andre watts Worth and he had like half
his helmet of tomahawks, or like the whole front was tomahawks.
You're just like, this dude's hit some quarterbacks, Like we
better cut him on the first play.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's like plumage. It's like Spartan
plumage back in the day in the helmet. Just an
intimidation factor. Hey, Cole, I want we got it there,
I got we gotta go, But I want you to
join me on this. Think about it though. Don't answer now.
Georgia will not win three national championships in a roun Okay,
we have not seen it since nineteen thirties Minnesota for
(28:31):
a reason. Don't respond now. Just chew on it. Okay,
just chew on it and come back to me. Georgia
will not win three Natties in a row. Cole Kublick
Tube Show wherever podcasts are Cole, thank you so much, man,
