LSU and we're gonna get into that game. But Brian Kelly,
you're on bar time. Bro, You're on bar time. So
if i'm you, I'm telling my agent to go on
and put some feelers out there. God, I'm interested in
the Penn State job. I'm interested in every other job
(02:27):
because LSU is not about to be interested in you
at the end of the season.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Go ahead, don't, Joem.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
I got a question before you go.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Is he really on borrow time understanding how great and
how good the team is? He actually played one of
the few teams that are undefeated in college football, So
are they really basing them losing to Texas A and
M as a reason to be fired.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
He's lost other games, he said. He came to win
a national championship.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Is he closer to winning a championship than when he
got there or is he further away?

very very special guest joining us a little later in
the show. Vanderbilt star quarterback Diego Pavia will be joining us.
Big win today against Missouri. That was very, very impressive,
(04:25):
the way they battled back and found a way to
win that ball game. But the game we just watched
Texas A and m moved to eight to oh, the
first time since nineteen ninety two they've been eight to oh.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
They took a part o jo they got. They looked
very good.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
And Marcel Reid, who had two turnovers coming into the game,
so he had two turnovers in the first two games.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
He had two today.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
One you know, the ball got tipped the line of
scrimmage a guy minute he gonna play. The other one,
he just stared the guy down in the safety, read
his eyes and made a great great tub picking the
ball off.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I can then read for getting him down.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Because if he don't make that tackle, the guy's probably
gonna have one hundred and three house calls.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, touchdown.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
But when they came out in the second half, the
score was eighteen fourteen LSU, you saw what the final
score was. They just systematically just took him down. Concepcion,
you know, he caught a touchdown early in the game,
and then he took a punt back and that was
a proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. But Texas
A and M looked really good. They're one of the
best teams that I've seen play college football this year. Them,
(05:23):
Ohio State, Indiana looked really good. We're going to talk
about the Alabama who had to fight back from an
eight point deficit in the fourth quarter on the road,
found a way to get that done. But OCHO, watching
this game, Texas A and M against LSU, what did
you like about what you saw from.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
L Listen for from what I saw in the game,
in this entirety, not only Texas A and M.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I thought it was gonna be a good game.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
I thought the game the way it looked in the
first half would obviously creep into the second half and
it would be more of an exciting game.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
But obviously what I.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Saw in the second half is one of the reasons
why Texas A and M is one of the better
teams in college football.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
The adjustments that they made in halftime.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
I'm not sure what coach told them offensive, especially defensively,
but they dominated the entire second half almost as if
LSU didn't even belong on the goddamn field.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
That's how bad it looked.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
They dominating all three phases of the games, including special
teams as well.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What he told him say, just if we just think
about it. They turned the ball up, they're driving the ball,
they have a seventy two yard drive. The ends with
an interception in the touch that in the end zone,
so they're about.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
To score there.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
At worst case scenario, they're gonna get three points. So
they're about to score there. They're driving the ball again
and the guy tips in that the lion of scrimmage
and the linebacker picks it.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
So all they I'm sure coach el call.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
All they told them is like, guys, if we take
care of the football, we can beat this team. They
don't even belong on the field with us, because that
defense was really getting after us. Minds, they really didn't
do anything. They got points off turnovers. If we take
care of the football. We don't feel they could beat us.
We don't feel first of all, I don't feel they
should be on the field with.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Us, right A young I kind of felt bad watching
the game. Honestly felt bad for the quarterback. I felt
bad for nothing, you, no smire, No smire, Yes, I
really felt bad because when you're in a situation like
that where your officer line is getting dominated, you continuously
keep getting hit, and you have to hold your computer,
your composure. You can't show any emotion as a quarterback,
(07:17):
especially your office line is playing bad. You can't fuscate
anybody individually because I mean that that that that has
to suck as a quarterback. And it's funny how all
quarterbacks with regardless of what level you play at, do
you have to keep your composing and contain, you know,
not getting angry when your old line is just allowing
you to get.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Oh bli, oh blit. You said obliterate, obliterated? How you
said that's right? Obliterated?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's it, that's it. I never used that
word before. I've been working. I've been working on my
big words.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah yeah, uh, I mean do you go look at it,
text it and then with right down the field, boom, score,
right down the field, score quick and they just turned
the ball. And if you look at the second half,
they scored thirty five straight points. They got twenty one
in the third quarter, and they got another fourteen in
the fourth. LSU tax on a lake field a late
touchdown with under a minute to go.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
But the game of all tens and purposes.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Once they got the score got to twenty eight eighteen,
I didn't feel because I really hadn't seen LSU consistently.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Drive the football.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I didn't think at that point in time, unless Texas
A and them turned the football over, I didn't feel
LSU could do anything to keep up with them. So
unless they got a force A and M to turn
the ball over, they can get a scooping score, you know,
something like that. But other than that, I didn't see.
Based on what I have saw up until that point,
I didn't see. I didn't see anything. I didn't see
(08:39):
enough fight in LSU to make me think that they
could come back and win this ball game. Texas AY
and them. Marcel Reid had another outstanding game. He threw
the ball twelve of twenty one two h two two
touchdowns toward exceptions. He had thirteen rushing for one hundred
and eight yards two touchdowns. They ran the ball forty
attempts two hundred and twenty four yards. That's five point
sixty yards to carry, and they had four rushing touchdowns
(09:01):
and they had two touchdowns on the ground. Marci Marceill
Reid threw for two touchdowns. They had four rushing touchdowns
on the ground. So they just they did a number
on L.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
S U.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And Uh, for me just looking at it, it's time
for him to go. I mean, sometimes o't Joe, I
words just fall on deaf ears, Yes, sir, and I
understand in college because of the turnover. You see it
more in pro football because the guys stay a little longer. Yes,
but his words are not resonating then, I mean, and
(09:32):
in this game is not indicative of anything.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So I'm not just basic it on this game. But
what's L s U's record? Uns you?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Uh? They I think they were five and two.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
They lost the night.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I think I think they.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Fed previous week.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
They five and they five and three now, yes, five
two coming into the game, and it was the teams
that they were losing to losing to this team. But
it's it's how they lost. Sometimes it's more important to
how you lose than that you lose.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And you see Penn State, it wasn't that they've lost,
it's how they lost lost. Yeah, it's how.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You can't keep losing the team that you're favored to
beat by twenty and that granted they weren't favored to
win this ball game in LSU and Death Valley, and
at one point in time, you're down forty nine to eighteen.
Oh nah, no that and think about the money that
they're paying him and that staff. Yes, we talked about
(10:31):
this the other night, O Joe, is that college football
is getting a lot like NFL because you're paying college
coaches and they're getting these premium D season O c's,
and you're paying a big staff and you're having to
pay players now. So this long leash that you normally
would have got it the more.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
But also this is the problem. At what point I
know we always put we always point to the coaches.
We always point to the coaches, the money they're making.
Obviously you're paying players now, But what happens when the
players aren't playing them with the par despite what the
money that, despite the money they are making at the
college level.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Hell, huh, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Now, I'm gonna say what happens when the players aren't
playing up the par despite the NL and IL money
they are making, and it's always the coach's fault. Did
that mean that that's unfair if we don't have the players,
even though they're getting paid, we don't have the players
to compete with the better teams. Well, hell, how is
it my fault as a coach? I can only do
so much. I can only teach and coach so much.
(11:29):
At some point, the players got to execute the goddamn
I mean know it. I'm gonna say curriculum, the goddamn curriculum.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Shit. Who recruited those players?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Okay, you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Those are the players that he said gave him the
best chance to do. He the one that left No
to Dame. Normally, coaches don't leave. You don't leave Michigan,
you don't leave Ohio State. You don't leave Not to Dame,
you don't leave Alabama. You don't leave places like that. Now,
if you if you're gonna go to the NFL, I
get it. Yeah, you don't normally leave those programs and
(12:02):
go to another collegiate program, right, those are the best
of the best. He left No to Dame said he
wanted to compete for a national championship because he didn't
feel he could do it there. Although he had been
in the national title the national championship game with No
To Dame and they got the breaks beat off them
by Alabama, so he had been in that before. Just say,
(12:23):
you know what, guys, LSU offered me a ish ton
of money and I'm going down there.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I wait a minute now.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Along with getting a ton of money, also understand the
pedigree of athletes that come through LSU, that come through
the boot Honya, Justin Jeffersons, Jamar Chases. So I'm thinking
that pipeline of great players not only.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Receivers, but other skill positions as well.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I will always have an opportunity to get them coming
through here.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Oh you mean like Belik Neighbors. Oh you mean like
Brian Thomas Jr.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Oh them, Yeah, and he ain't win no national championship
with them.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Guys, Okay, you got me, you got you got me.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
But also, hey, listen, having those type of players gives
you a better chance of getting them.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Now, do they have anything anything? Close to that right now?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Oh, I got who if you don't mind me asking?
O yo, who was throwing the ball to them? Not
the Heisman Trophy winn of James Daniels.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yeah that's him. Yeah, that's him.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So what is the likelihood if you're not competing for
a national championship if you got what three guys that
go in the first I mean I think I think
Brian Thomas Ju.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Was the first run.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, he was Jay Dames, the number two pick Eliite
neighbors with the first round pick for the Giant, Brian
Thomas Jr. If you don't win a national championship with
those guys, what makes you think that was probably your
best opportunity?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Yeah, when Jaden was there, Absolutely, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I just think it's time.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I think, you know, LSU is probably like, look, man,
we're not close. We're not close. We're not Because now
you see A and M. They're moving up. Oh miss,
they're moving up. Look I can live with if Alabama
is doing this. Thus, I can live with that. That's Alabama.
If George's doing this, I can live with that. Vanderbilt
(14:16):
beat us, Vanderbilt beat us.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
This ain't the same Vanderbilt now.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That should never be the same LSU. That should be
the same LSU. That should be the LSU that produced
all those first.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Round, those high round draft picks and put player after
player after player after player in the NFL. So I
get it. You're right, dude, absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
This is not the Vanderbilt that I when I was
in college and the last ten years, the last fifteen years,
just say the last five years, the last two years.
Last year they got Alabama, we thought that was a fluke.
This year they come back and they get LSU, and
they played Alabama really close. The quarterback probably had a
couple of turnovers, uncharacteristic turnovers. But if you can't consistently,
(14:59):
so you losing to Alabama, you losing the old miss,
you losing.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I think Florida got him. I just I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I just don't know, Ojo, if there's going to be
a better scenario or there's a better situation than what
he currently has and he can't win, he can't win.
LSU is about you're trying to win the national championship.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Yeah, you know, you know it's really crazy though, if
you think about the landscape of college football and you're
saying that he needs to be fired because he can't
be the better teams in college football and a five
and three LSU team the coach deserves to be fired
(15:42):
when other coaches and other teams would be elated and
happy to even be above five hundred in winning and
being five and three.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's not your record, it's where you are, and what's
the expectations that comes along with where you are? You know, A, yeah,
you can be ecstatic about being five three, but how
close is that getting you to play for a the
SEC championship? How close is that to getting you to
play for a college football championship?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
That ain't close. That is not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
So here's another year that's gonna go by that guess what,
LSU is not complete peak competing for an SEC title
and they're not gonna be in the college football playoffs.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And that that's crazy. How just having a winning season
is not enough?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Not good enough?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Think about the kind of money that they have invested
in this press, in this program. Remember your print. Brian
Kelly is probably making ten million dollars a year. Yeah, okay,
you're paying the offensive coordinator at least a million million
and a half, same thing with the DC and then
all your other staff. So you might got fifteen, sixteen,
seventeen million dollars invested in a staff. Now I throw
(16:47):
another four or five million dollars on top of that
for NILS.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
So I got a twenty I got a twenty million.
I'm pumping out.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Twenty million dollars. What at least get me to the
SEC championship game. Please let me get let me see
what it's like.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Oh, the college bowl money, I mean the college football
playoff money, that's huge money. At least get some of that.
Get at that.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Yeah, and listen, you know what, And you can blame
all the players that came through L s U. Honey Badger,
Yamar Joe Burrow because the expectation for them.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
For when they're going and Pat p Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Listen, the expectations are high. If you don't reach a
certain a certain uh college football playoffs are competing for
a national championship. You know what, even if it's a
winter season, it's a fucking failure.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yes, he said he wanted to go somewhere to compete
for a national championship. He opened his mind. Ain't nobody
asking that? An't nobody asking why he was.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Going down there, right right right. Forget the fact that
they paid.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You probably double the salary that you was making at
a Notre Dame. But that's not here north there, or
at least money time time one and a half times
that would you would make it. You said you want
to compete for a national championship. I believe right now
they're fur the way than they were when he arrived.
So if I'm other way than when you arrive, and
we're paying you this kind of money, it doesn't make
(18:05):
sense to me. It doesn't make sense to me to
keep paying for something when I don't know it doesn't work.
At what point in time?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Oyo?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Okay, I got this car, and one week is the radiator,
the next week is the transmission, and the week after
that is the catalytic converter, and the next week of
that is the voter drigar. At some point in time,
it's just time to get me a new car. Yeah,
at some point in time, ojo, it is just time
to get me a new coach.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yeah, damn A.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
But can I tell you something, Yes, Sometimes you gotta
be careful what you wish for. And this is for
LSU fans in general getting a new coach and still
having the same players. I mean, if I not much
of it, does anything really change if you still changing
the coach, It's like it's like, hey, you got it.
(18:55):
You got a car, right, Yeah, it ain't running good
because the engine you got, But you change the goddamn
tires and expected to drive different because you put new
tires on them.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Off, my bad on it, you know.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
What I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yes, you're still going to need the players.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
You're still going to need the talent at certain positions.
You need some dogs, maybe two or three of them.
You ain't got to be the whole team, just two
or three that can make a difference, that can impact
you on defense, that can make an impact on offense.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
If you ain't got that.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Hell, if you ain't got no quarterback, you might as
well chalk up the whole season.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Well, Bryce Underwood the quarterback that went to Michigan, he
was supposed to go to LSU and then the big
donors that Michigan stepped in. Yeah, and you know, twelve
and a half million dollars over four years they lose out.
Now would he have helped the situation? Maybe, But we
(19:49):
don't know. All we can do is go about what
they currently have, and what they currently have is not
enough to help them compete for an SEC title. Because
at the end of the day, o jo without competing
for an SEC title, how do you get to go
to the college football playoff? Because the teams are so good?
I mean you got you. I mean you got Alabama
with one loss. I think you got Old Mess with
(20:10):
one loss. You got A and M with no losses.
You got Georgia with what one loss? So so what
so where does that leave you with three losses?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Out the picture exactly. Hey, inside the house, in the window,
looking through the blinds.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, what's Vanderbilt's record? The Vanderbilts and Vanderbilts beat you,
so you can't leave for them. No, you still got
Tennessee got a better record than you.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah, I think Kaxas has a better record than you.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Oklahoma has a better record than you.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
See how far are you down there? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
They're like, nah, that that's not that's not what we
paid for. I mean, give a M A and m
A and m looked really good. They got up there
hunting the quarterback defense. Yeah, yeah, man, they got up
to the quarterback that offense is really efficient. You got
Marcel with those legs and he can throw the ball.
They got guys that can make plays. I mean the
way he threw that overwrop just over the outset stretched
(21:08):
guy's hand and the guy snagged it.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
With one hand. Yeah, spin and tug off running was nice. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, they got They got a very very very good squad.
It's gonna be interesting to see. I think they're on
the same side as Alabama.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I think they're on that same side as Obama.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Hey, hey, you speaking speaking of quarterbacks right and speaking
of Reese and in Pavia. Uh, I'm not sure if
Carson Beckett is in the conversation. I still have yet.
We we in week eight. We're going in the week eight.
I ain't heard nothing about Heisman Trophy. Who might be
the front runner. I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
No.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Uh, the Ray Reeves played, I think he's in contention eight.
No guys playing. Welsh Tie Simpson, the Alabama Mendozo.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I watched him today against U C. L A.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Now, I understand UCLA wasn't back to back games, but
they leave a lot to be desired. They drop fifty
fifty on them one the division.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
U c LA since they fired coach. They won the
last three nine. Yeah, until they met and til they.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Met in the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah's quarterback is looking good. Uh yeah, but it's it's
still wide open, Joe. It's wide open. It's gonna come down. Hell,
it might come down to a championship game.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
But I don't think.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Anybody, anybody is running away with it. It's not like,
oh yeah, yeah, that's the Heisman troph winner right there. No,
that's that's not it.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
The fact that we're in the NILO money era in general,
where players are able to be played, where players are
able to get paid for their services. There's been no
one to stand out this year that is a Joe
Burrow type or Cam Newton or Jaydon Daniels or c. J. Strouds,
someone that just jumps out at you on tape and
(22:52):
knowing that no matter, no matter what, we have a chance.
As long as this individual is on the field and
has the ball in his hands all the time, we
have a chance.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
There's there's nothing like that this year.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, Diego Pavia, who's going to join us a little later. Yeah,
he's he's in the running. Considering what Vanderbilt normally what
has been and what the way he has them positioned
right now?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, they're definitely in the mix.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Excuse me, excuse my lack of knowledge was just just
based on watching Pavia the past three four weeks. Is
his comparison? Am I wrong to say Baker Mayfield type is?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yes, he kind of reminds you more of Johnny, but
he his his runs are more designed than Johnny. Johnny
was like Johnny would drop back the past and that
I think they had every intention for Johnny to pass
he Jotty like it ain't there.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, he and he was all over the place.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
But uh, and I think that you know, Johnny is
mentoring him because he Johnny probably sees himself a lot
in here right. Number four Alabama rally to beat South
Carolina twenty nine twenty two Bright Stadium for its seventh
straight win. Jeremy Bernard scored two touchdowns in the final
two and a half minutes.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Ty Sampson threw for two hundred and fifty three.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yards two touchdowns, DeShawn Jones returning in exception eighteen yards
of all score. Look, South Carolina had him had him
on the ropes. They go get a touchdown. Okay, South
Carolina can get the ball, run all the time off
the clock and get a field goal or touched down
and win the game. Give lost and unbelievable credit because
(24:31):
they have sellers locked up and he rips the ball
out and I know people like, man, what the cornerbacks
do it? He probably would instructed if they get past
Let him score, let him go. The one thing we
don't want to do is to have them run time
off the clock and then kick a walk off field goal.
So the guy they ran a great call. And Bernard
is their best receiver. Yeah, I know what, I know
(24:54):
what win? You dropped too many passes? He drops entirely
too many passes. Bernard is the receiver.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Okay, wait wait, wait wait, okay, stay with me real quick. Okay,
Bernard is their most consistent receiver. He's not their best receiver.
Their best receiver is Ryan Williams.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Not right now?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
So you basing everything, And let me ask your question.
If you didn't see last year and you just watching
this year, what would you say that?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Okay, no, but is their best receiver? Okay?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
That that I can't I can't. Look.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
We gained three million dollars on nil money for last year.
We're talking about this year. Oh Joe, he dropped far
too many passes. Oh Joe, Yeah, I mean far too me,
Oh Joe, you can't. You come on now, you if
you that guy and dropping passes like that? Yeah, I
don't know if I've ever seen a receiver like with
the ability that he has and know what he's capable of, yes,
(25:47):
to drop as many passes as he does.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
I don't know. If it's a lack of concentration, I
don't know what. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
But he's dropping routine stuff, oh Joe, stuff that he's
supposed to stick in his back pocket.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got You gotta go back to
the basics, man, You gotta go back to the basis obviously.
Just like baseball, you know you have sluggers. Sometimes sluggers
go on the slump. Sometime they're going to slump, and
that slump can last for a few games. But once
you come out of that slump and get your confidence back,
that's all it comes down to, not only your eyes
and seeing the ball all the way in, but also
(26:20):
that confidence in your head or I'm going to get
jiggy with this. I'm gonna get jiggy with this. And
most of the time that confidence comes with what with
repetition of catching the ball, not then goddamn practice, forget
do it in the practice, catch it in the game,
catching it early, feeling it early, feel like you're a
part of the offense. And he'll get himself back into
a group. Once you get back in that groove, you'll
(26:41):
be okay. Because even me, as much trash as I
talk on, if I drop a ball, I got the jitters.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I'm not eve gonna lie to you.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
I got the jitters because the next ball that comes,
I ain't using nan hand. It's gonna hit the eight
in the five. It's gonna hit the eight and the five.
And I'm a cradleer and make sure I get it now.
Once I get that confidence, and I'm I feel like, okay,
I can relax now. Now I can get myself back
in the roogle. Then I'm snatching everything out there right.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Todd Simpson was twenty four forty three, two fifty three
two touchdowns. They pressured him an unbelievable amount of times.
Alabama really didn't run the football today, so they weren't
able to keep those rushers at bay. Barrett had an
outstanding game. The defensive lineup from South Carolina. They got
a couple of guys over there that's gonna be playing
on Sunday, Bigcause some guys just gonna be playing on Sunday.
(27:29):
And when you can't run the football and a team
can just pin their ears back, because they were able
to stop you with their front four and then come hunt.
I mean they had twenty three rushes for seventy two
yards basically three yards of carry. Yeah, with along of
twenty five and that was Bernard And you.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Know, you know it's funny if if South Carolina was
able to stop them the way they stopped the run,
if they were to stop with the backing, was able
to stop the pass, or.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
It would have been a different ball game. Yeah, it
would have been a whole different ballgames.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
But when with Alabama needed to make plays basically not
the final drive, but the drive before and they needed
to go down and get and get points out of it,
they were able to do that. Yeah, and that's what
and that's what you know, that's how you measure a team. Okay,
when you have to have it, you absolutely have to
have it.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Can you go get it?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Can your offense stay on the field? Can you convert
third downs? Can you stay in front of the sticks
instead of being second and ten? Can you make it
second and six, second and five, third instead.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Of third and long?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Can you make it thirty one to three, thirty three
to five? Things that are manageable. You're not gonna keep
picking up thirty long. You're not gonna be keep picking
up third and eight, third and ten, third and thirteen,
second and fourteen. You're not gonna keep You're not gonna
keep converting. The shorter the distance, the more app you
are to convert that. And give Alabama credit. Give their
(28:55):
defense credit because when they needed they needed to bowl
their backs, they did that as well, because they took.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
The ball from it.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
They took the ball from South Carolina and put their
offense on a short field. But yet, look, look, I
thought I would get more from Sellers this year. I'm
kind of disappointing the way he's played this year. He
hadn't been what I thought he was gonna be. I
thought because watching him.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Last year and seeing how well he played last year,
I thought.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
This year he'd come in and just step picked right
up where he left off and play even better. That's
that was my expectation. And you know, he might come
out and he still might be a high round draft pick.
But I definitely thought I would see I would see
more from him, more from him this year. One game
he got knocked I forget what game, I think a
Missouri game. He ended up getting knocked out of that game,
(29:42):
and he just had he hadn't played well this year.
He hadn't played well this year that he threw an
interception and he had. You know that the interception really
wasn't his fault. His guy tipped it, popped up in
there and to get a pick six on that. But
oh Joe, you cannot. You cannot fumbled the ball in
(30:02):
negative territory and have it ripped out.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
You can't let him rip that ball out. Give Alabama
credit and give loss in credit. The guy that poured
it out, he saw they had him. He wasn't going nowhere,
So now let me just attack the football. Did a
great job of popping it out. Alabama showed me something.
They're still not out of the wood. They still got
Auburn as put up a put Alabama schedule up. They
(30:34):
for Alabama number the number four Crimson Tide. They're playing
well since that first game. I mean, think about where
they're think about that. After the first game, we saw
Alabama and we saw Alabama's gonna go here in Florida
State was gonna go there. But yeah, opposite, Alabama is
going here in Florida State's going there, complete.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Complete opposite. It's it's it's it's.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
A small sample size of you at but it's not
who it's not your true identity.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
It's too early in the season.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
They get l s U at home, that's that's a win.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
They get Oklahoma at home.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
That's gonna be a good one.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Eastern Illinois at home, that's a win. And they're on
the road at Auburn Iron Bowl.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
That's gonna be a good one.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
That's gonna be a good one. Because you know, when
you when you play a rival, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Throw the records out of the window, because guess what
that might be for a chance to go to the
SEC championship game. That might be for a chance to
play for the college football playoffs. So I always said, look,
we ain't got no chance for none of that. So
you know, what misery loves company. Well, if we ain't
got no if we ain't got no lights, you ain't
(31:45):
gonna have no gas. So hey, I want everybody Hey,
k C and you cold. So that works out there.
Everybody miserable. That's that's how I look at everybody miserable. Yeah,
I mean they go on the roll. I mean, think
about it. They beat Georgia, I mean they got a
(32:06):
very impressive rather they think about it, they beat number five, Georgia,
number sixteen, Vandy number fourteen, Missouri number eleven ten a C.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Now if they go, if they beat.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
LSU, I don't know if LSU will be ranked at
the time, they might fall out of the top twenty five.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
R Oklahoma lost.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Today, they won't fall out of the top twenty five.
But if you beat one, two, three, four, five five
ranked teams, yeah, that's gonna that. The committee is gonna
really gonna really gonna really find that impressive.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Absolutely, and obviously you know the committee now only gonna
find an impressive But you know who.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Moves the needle Alabama.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Alabama movies never travel. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Economic economically at that and you know what it's about
when it comes to goddamn playoffs. Yes, we need to
be able to make as much as possible the teams
that we choose and have to be on this road.
And who does that better roll tige.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Roll tide and travel and and I think the thing
is on shore in the college football playoffs. Now the
first game is at home, so you know, Alabama's gonna
sell out. You know, any of these teams in the SEC.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
And for the most part of uh Ohio State, teams
like that, come on. You know what they do.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You know who they are absolutely and their fan bases
travel very well.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
They travel.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
So you know, we're gonna you know, you're trying to
get eighty eighty five ninety thousand in the ring and
in the stadiums every time we have a college football
playoff game. And it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter where
you play. Alabama's going. Alabama's gonna go. They're gonna pick it.
They're gonna, they're gonna they're gonna ay load up the
r and bs and and they're gonna go get the
airbnbs and they're gonna they coming. They're gonna bring that
(33:49):
economic boom the Ohio State, the Georgia, those teams they
travel and that means a lot. Now the resume speaks
for itself. I mean, like I said, number fourteen Missouri,
number eleven of C, number fifteen vanded number five Georgia,
BIGI yeah, on the road, beat South Carolina. And they
(34:14):
beat Georgia on the road. And they beat Missouri on
the road and they yeah, beat South Carolina. Now South
Carolina is not what we thought they were going to beat, right,
which is disappointing to me. But hey, I beat here
on my schedule and they're on the schedule and we
beat him. But I was very impressed with I was
(34:35):
very impressed. You know, ti Ty Simpson didn't have his
best game today. He had Bernard on the over route
and just overshot him because he if he catches, he's
out the gate, he's gone, he gone. And he just
overshot him and he knew it. I mean, do you
see him on the sidelight?
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Like my bad? But I like I like Bernard. I
like Bernard's consistent. He twitchy. Now I don't know how
fast he is.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, yeah he is.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah man.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
And uh but Alabama, Alabama has to be pleased Kailyn
the Borer because you know, the lady wanted to win
the lotteries because you wanted them up out of there.
She said the first thing, she said, the first thing
I'm gonna do because I'm gonna pay give Alabama seventy
whatever it takes, and he gonna be gone.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
Matter of fact, after they lost the LSU game, that's
all the whole timeline.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
State him getting up out of there. But goddamn, oh.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah, man, they don't play.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Hey, you got to understand the unprecedented level of success
that they've had for the last twenty Oh joe. They've
won six national championships, they've played for two others, and
they've been in the College Football playoffs up team time.
So think about it. That's when that's when the fan
(35:48):
base gets spoiled. Every three years we win the national championship.
Every other year we're playing for an NCC title. Every
other year we're in the college Football playoff. So when
you a, I mean, Kallen the board lost three games
last year. Fire, you gotta go, oh joe, this is
(36:10):
the seventeen time in eighteen years they've started at least
seven or.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
What is seventy one?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Yeah, seven seventeen times in eighteen years.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
That they've started at least seventy one. Ben, let me
teach the battle fan. They tried to hear, No. Ten
and three.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
If it's ten and three, you better have a national
championship attached to it, right, tenty three and you don't
ten and three and you didn't play for an SCC
title and you didn't go to the college football player.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Man, please, Yeah, has got his got Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
They tried to They try to hear that. None of that.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
So uh.

Is he is? He ready? Okay?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
We got our very special guests joining us tonight. Today

seventeen years, and the come out Commodorees beat Missouri to
extend the program's best start in eighty years. Better yet,
three wins have come against ap top twenty five teams,

DP now, like, huh when this season looked after last year,
what you were able to do?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
You beat Alabama for the first time in forever, and
so now you set expectations coming into this season.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
What were the expectations for you and this ball club?
Speaker 6 (38:35):
Well, we set out in January that we want to
win the national championship. We feel like we're the best
team in college football still. Our defense really good, our
offense is good, and our special team is good.
Speaker 7 (38:46):
So we just put those three together.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Shoot, you know what it is, and you you the
way you've been playing. You kind of caught people by
surprise last year. But the way you played last year,
so you know the expectations coming in this year. You're
supposed to improve on last year's production. How have you
been able to stay even keel? Don't get too high,
(39:10):
don't read the press, the internet, the press, clippers, and
let everybody patch you on the back and tell you
how great you are.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
You stayed really level headed. But you played exceptional well
this year.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Coming into this year, a lot of people were like, man,
Diego's figured out, he's washed.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
Yeah, got it, you know what I mean? Real shit,
real shit, That's what they were saying.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Yeah, yeah, you know, come show me, come showing you.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
Ain't got it. Come showing you got me figure it out?
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Butrus you.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
I think the most important thing, though, is word seem
like we all got each other six That's how it is.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Hey, get you're confident. Where you from?
Speaker 6 (39:45):
Original Albuquerque, New Mexico. They call it albut crazy New Mexico.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
With the confidence you have, not only the way you play,
the way you speak, the way you carry yourself, the
way you walk.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
You move your aura, you move like you him where's
that confidence come from?
Speaker 5 (40:01):
Especially at the quarterback position. Most of the time it's
frowned upon. They want to be button up and say
all the right things.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
But I like your style. I like your style.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
And do you think once you get to the next level,
please tell me you remain the same way you are now.
Speaker 7 (40:16):
I want to be the same killer I've always been.
I've been doing this shit since Juco.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
You feel me, but don't believe in me.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
No, I like it.
Speaker 7 (40:24):
I was a negative star. You ever see one of those?
Speaker 3 (40:31):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
I like it yet.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
But the thing is, I'm looking at your numbers. I
mean ten or nineteen one to twenty nine. You didn't
have the greatest day, but you found a way when
the rubber needed to meet the road. When you need
a it's ten ten, and it's four minutes in the
ball game, and we got to go down and get
a touchdown because we're gonna put pressure on you.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
We don't want you to kick no field goal.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
We want you to come down against our defense and
have to get a tub because I will get this
in the end zone.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
I will eight. Hey, don't we gonna get this ball?
When I throw it, you catch it. When I hand
it to you.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Just hold on to it because we're gonna get this
ball in the n and we're gonna put pressure on
them to make them go down and get a touchdown
against our defense.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
I was just in the huddle and we came off
the time out and the first player was supposed to
go to me, and then they changed it up and
gave it to SETI SETI got it clos or whatever,
and I knew that next player.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
I knew.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
I knew that bitch was going to me.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
So I was like, hey, so let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
They throw the hell Mary and the guy catches it,
because the officials at first said no.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Good but they review it and they look, he caught it,
but he was at the one.
Speaker 6 (41:46):
I was like, oh shit, we're going into overtime. And
the crazy thing is is that we went into overtime
with them last year too. The score was twenty, so
it was like, I was like, oh shit, then shit
coming number. But it was gonna swing our way this time,
you know.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Right right?
Speaker 1 (42:01):
So now look you're seven and one. There's still a
chance you guys can get to the SEC Championship game.
You go to the SEC Championship Game, anything can happen.
You know, you win the SEC, you go into the
college football player. That's the one thing we know. Whoever,
moving forward from now into perpetuity, if you win the
SEC championship, you're gonna be in the college football playoff.
(42:23):
So now, how do you remain How do you keep
this team focused? They're like, look, guys, we really haven't
accomplished anything yet. Yeah, we're seven and one and we're
happy and the words of young fuck whoop did do?
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Whoop? Did do?
Speaker 1 (42:36):
We seven and one? But now I'm trying how do
I get to be eight and one? So what's your message?
What's gonna be your message to your team? Obviously, gonna
enjoy the win, you get twenty four hours enjoying win. Yes,
what's gonna be your message to your team on Sunday?
Speaker 7 (42:49):
Well, I think a lot of guys broke up with
their girlfriends, so they're hungry themselves. Real shit, real shit,
just broke up with this girl. He's hungry, he said,
feeding the ball.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
You know.
Speaker 6 (43:02):
Okay, that's a lot of guys on got girlfriends right
now on the team. So I think that motivates us.
But I think going into this next game, it's taking
one game at a time, like Texas is a good team.
They want tonight in a critical time and we'll see
them at home. Dude, we're really excited just to get
another opportunity to play though. Uh our defense playing lights
(43:23):
out our old line.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
They were.
Speaker 7 (43:26):
They were coming up to me after the game and
they're like, yo, bro, sorry sorry, sorry, now my due.
Speaker 6 (43:29):
We won, you know, but they just want to play
better and just like become so dominant, Like that's just
the expectation of just being abandonable for all player. Now
is just being dominant, like, not not these little margin wins.
It's going out there and just lay it on the line.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
You know, how have you been have you been able
to stay level headed? Obviously, look, Vanderbilt, the program is
not what it's not Alabama. It's not one of these
perennial powerhouses. But you're turning it into that because Johnny
Manzail put texts seeing them back on the map. It
was now when they think of Texas A and M.
(44:04):
And they've had good players come out of Texas A
and M. But Texas A and M now is the
house where they play. Kyle Field is the house that
Johnny built. Now you're that guy. You're the guy that's
putting Vanderbilt football back on the map. So how does
how does diego popia? Stay level headed? And that you know,
you the ish you know that, you know, I mean
you're like, damn, what's that smell?
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (44:30):

headed to make sure that you don't get too far
in front of yourself?

that they instill in their team mates. Yeah, I see why,

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Halftime, halftime.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
Damn, Hey you tall, you talk good man man, Yeah,
you tell you tah good. They're not ranked. They not ranked,
but they could play some ball.
Speaker 3 (52:44):
Yeah, I guess so, I guess the band. The band
gonna be playing a lot tonight.
Speaker 4 (52:49):
Yeah, dang.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
Number eight.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
The Old Miss ReBs beat Oklahoma cour twenty six and nine.
Chamberlains through for three hundred and fifteen yards and a touchdown.
Kiwan Lacey ran for two scores. Uh, they were losing.
They got out too a lead, Oklahoma came back and
then Oh Miss scored the final nine points in order
(53:18):
to win the ball game. Trinder Dad Tap champlains with
twenty four forty four three to fifteen one touchdown. He
ran the ball twelve times for fifty three yards. They
had forty one rushes one hundred and sixteen yards. John Mattier,
Oklahoma was seventeen or thirty one two twenty three one touchdown.
(53:40):
Xavier Robinson had nine carries for a buck six a
buckle nine twenty eight rushes one thirty six teams.
Speaker 3 (53:47):
That see what happened? Old Miss had okay nine of
twenty one.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
Damn when you have twenty one third downs o jo, Yeah,
look that was a good bounce back when for uh
for Old Miss had a big lead last week, coughed
that up against Georgia and had a lead that had
(54:16):
what you call them, they flipped the script this week.
H Lane keeping the coach and now look, there have
been rumblings that he might go to Florida. Florida's gonna
try to throw the bag because they got Look when
you one of these schools on you and you're trying
to land the coach and you one of these prominent schools, Florida,
Penn State.
Speaker 3 (54:30):
You know, Penn State is not what they once were,
but they still have a name. You still need a name.
Speaker 4 (54:36):
A name. A name ain't gonna cut it.
Speaker 5 (54:39):
I mean, we've come to realize that the name Penn State,
the name LSU is not gonna cut it because unless
you get the certain players, the players that you need,
the special the impact players, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 4 (54:51):
You just getting a bunch of guys and most of the.
Speaker 5 (54:53):
Time we get fascinated with four star, five star you know.
I mean it's cute, it's cute to be rank like that,
But what are you? What kind of star are you're
going to be? Want you on that field? Want you
on that field? Because we here, we got all these
four and five star rankings, right, and you look at
the landscape of college football, nobody's.
Speaker 4 (55:11):
Playing like a four or five star rank.
Speaker 3 (55:13):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 5 (55:14):
You know every week you supposed to be popping out
on tape every week if you five star.
Speaker 3 (55:21):
I don't care who you playing. You're absolutely right. I
one thousand percent agree with you.
Speaker 1 (55:28):
I mean, that's why you was able to get that
big That's why you was able to get a million
dollars or you were able to get five hundred thousand
dollars according to your position.
Speaker 3 (55:35):
What's because you were supposed to be that dude. Okay,
now show me, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (55:39):
Listen, listen. Matter of fact, think about the nil money.
One of the players that makes the most, you know,
Jeremiah Smith.
Speaker 4 (55:47):
Yeah, unk, every time he is on the field. You
locked in because something happened. You don't know what and
you don't know when, but you know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (56:00):
Yeah, I agree, that's a five star.
Speaker 4 (56:03):
That's someone that is worth every penny he's being paid.
An I l.
Speaker 5 (56:08):
There are very few of him in the entirey of
college football. You know what Ohio State is playing. I
have to watch them because I want to see what
that individual is gonna do and the rest of the
supporting casts as well.
Speaker 4 (56:20):
It's also good.
Speaker 1 (56:21):
Yeah Mississippi there, what's their record now? They're they're seventy one.
Speaker 4 (56:30):
Yeah, they lost one.
Speaker 1 (56:31):
They're gonna have something. They're gonna have something to say
about the SEC Championship. I think they're on the side
with Alabama. I think they're in the SEC West. But
the chamberains threw the ball really well today. I'm very
impressed with the way he threw the ball. I thought
(56:52):
they ran the ball well enough, you know, less than
three yards of care. But they had a players on yo.
And so the thing is is that when you run
the ball, look, I want to throw it because we're
having success throwing it. But I got to give you
something to think about. I just can't let you guys
pin their edge back and come hunt my quarterback. So
I gotta give you something else to think about other
(57:14):
than this jumping off the you know, jumping, jumping the
snap and coming to hunt the quarterback. But Chambers he
had to throw the ball that well. And we know Alabama,
excuse me, we know Oklahoma. Brent Bevenables is the coach.
We know him from from Clemson when he had those
defense and we know he's a pressure guy.
Speaker 3 (57:30):
He loves to come hunt the quarterback. What have they done?
They beat Georgia State, They beat Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (57:37):
This is old miss Old beat Georgia State, Old Kentucky, Arkansas, Tulane,
they beat number four LSU at the time, they beat
Washington State. They had Georgia on the ropes and they
let Georgia come back and beat them. They held on
and they beat Oklahoma. Now they get South Carolina at home,
(58:02):
they get the Citadel at home, they get Florida at home,
who recently fired their coach, and they get the Egg
Bowl where they go play the Mississippi the Mississippi State.
Speaker 3 (58:11):
So there's a good chance they run the table here,
oh Joe, and finished eleven and one.
Speaker 1 (58:17):
Absolutely, there's a great chance, a great chance that they
run the table.
Speaker 3 (58:26):
And then't see what happens.
Speaker 4 (58:30):
That goddamn committee.
Speaker 1 (58:32):
Committee gonna have their work cut out for him. This year,
they're gonna be There're gonna be a lot of teams
that was one loss or two losses.
Speaker 5 (58:39):
Well, listen, if you got common sense and you already
know who the committee is gonna pick, you already know
who they're gonna pick, regardless of you having one loss.
Sometime even you could be undefeated depending on who you are,
depending on the school.
Speaker 4 (58:52):
But this is all about you know what at the
end of the day, you know what ite about?
Speaker 3 (58:56):
Yeah, because I don't think I don't think we have
those schools. I don't think we.
Speaker 1 (59:00):
Gonna have We don't have a boys in state OHO
that was undefeated. That's thirteen and oher and although the
conference wasn't the strongest, they were undefeated.
Speaker 3 (59:09):
We don't have that this year.
Speaker 1 (59:10):
I don't know if the Big twelve ashes in leading
the Big twelve? Are we or was that the SMU
SMU lost what did it?
Speaker 3 (59:20):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (59:21):
I don't know if we're gonna have a scenario like
what we had last year. So with that being said,
are we gonna get three four schools from the SEC?
Are we gonna get two three schools from the Big ten?
Speaker 4 (59:39):
Are we?
Speaker 1 (59:41):
Because I don't see I don't see a boys that
state out there. I don't see an undefeated team out there.
Oho And you're like, Okay, this team is undefeated, they
won their conference championship. We can't leave them at home
and take a two lost team. Now, with that being said,
it's more app you see a two law team in
(01:00:01):
the INNY college football playoffs. So it's gonna be it's
gonna be interested in the committee. They're gonna have their
work cutout for because I think they're gonna be a
lot of teams that have one loss. You know, old
mess could have one loss not get to the SEC
title game. You get a Georgia looks like Georgia and
the SEC they're gonna at the SEC East seems like
(01:00:22):
they're gonna be okay. But you know, you might have
a Vandy, a one loss Vandy and don't get to
the and don't get to the SEC title game.
Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Yes, that's that's unfair. Yeah, that's unfair.
Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
But I understand what listen watching the committee since they
since they implemented the playoffs, watching the Committee and what
they do and the teams that they pick, I know
what the bottom line is the end of the day.
I need the team that are going to the playoffs,
that are going to generate us the most money. What
(01:00:55):
makes the most sense that that's what it come down to.
Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
I think there's a twelve isn't it twelve teams this year?
Ash okay, it's twelve this year? So oh yeah, it
was twelve teams, So gonna be very interesting. On Joe,
(01:01:23):
I can see a scenario where the SEC and the
Big ten dominate the slots. I really can see a
scenario where it looks like but we knew eventually it
was gonna come down that it's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (01:01:39):
It's gonna be basically two super conferences.
Speaker 5 (01:01:43):
If you had to take your pick, even though it's
really early, we only eight games in not to not
only get through the playoffs but win the national championship,
who would be your pick?
Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
It's early if you was a beat man.
Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
I still think Ohio State is the best team that
I've seen. But I really really really like Texas say
and m okay watching Texas A and HM, I think
Obama has an excellent chance.
Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
I think Bama can you count? Can you count Georgia out?
Can you man? Like I said, I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Old miss one loss, Vanderbilt one loss, Bama one loss,
Georgia one loss. Got four teams with one loss in
that conference. Yeah, I think Oklahoma has one loss, maybe
two now, Yeah, Oklahoma has two losses now and they
(01:02:40):
still got they still got Alabama on their schedule, so
it's gonna be very, very interesting. The Texas Longhorn had
a stunning comeback oh your over Mississippi State. They rallied
for seventeen points down in the fourth quarter, send the
game to overtime and winning in overtime. But however, arch
Manny was knocked out of the game after helming the
period abount. This them bounce off the ground at the
(01:03:02):
end of the thirteen yard running the first playoff overtime.
Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
They showed they showed me a little something today. Yeah,
all right, showed me something.
Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
Hey, he getting he getting he getting better and better.
He's getting better and better, a little bit, a little
bit more consistent.
Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Yep, I'm trying to find a score.

and put some feelers out there. God, I'm interested in
the Penn State job. I'm interested in every other job
(02:27):

at the end of the season.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Go ahead, don't, Joem.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
I got a question before you go.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Is he really on borrow time understanding how great and
how good the team is? He actually played one of
the few teams that are undefeated in college football, So
are they really basing them losing to Texas A and
M as a reason to be fired.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
He's lost other games, he said. He came to win
a national championship.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Is he closer to winning a championship than when he
got there or is he further away?

minutes late. He's going to join us. We got a
very very special guest joining us a little later in
the show. Vanderbilt star quarterback Diego Pavia will be joining us.
Big win today against Missouri. That was very, very impressive,
(04:25):
the way they battled back and found a way to
win that ball game. But the game we just watched
Texas A and m moved to eight to oh, the
first time since nineteen ninety two they've been eight to oh.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
They took a part o jo they got. They looked
very good.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
And Marcel Reid, who had two turnovers coming into the game,
so he had two turnovers in the first two games.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
He had two today.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
One you know, the ball got tipped the line of
scrimmage a guy minute he gonna play. The other one,
he just stared the guy down in the safety, read
his eyes and made a great great tub picking the
ball off.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I can then read for getting him down.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Because if he don't make that tackle, the guy's probably
gonna have one hundred and three house calls.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, touchdown.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
But when they came out in the second half, the
score was eighteen fourteen LSU, you saw what the final
score was. They just systematically just took him down. Concepcion,
you know, he caught a touchdown early in the game,
and then he took a punt back and that was
a proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. But Texas
A and M looked really good. They're one of the
best teams that I've seen play college football this year. Them,
(05:23):
Ohio State, Indiana looked really good. We're going to talk
about the Alabama who had to fight back from an
eight point deficit in the fourth quarter on the road,
found a way to get that done. But OCHO, watching
this game, Texas A and M against LSU, what did
you like about what you saw from.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
L Listen for from what I saw in the game,
in this entirety, not only Texas A and M.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I thought it was gonna be a good game.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
I thought the game the way it looked in the
first half would obviously creep into the second half and
it would be more of an exciting game.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
But obviously what I.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Saw in the second half is one of the reasons
why Texas A and M is one of the better
teams in college football.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
The adjustments that they made in halftime.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
I'm not sure what coach told them offensive, especially defensively,
but they dominated the entire second half almost as if
LSU didn't even belong on the goddamn field.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
That's how bad it looked.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
They dominating all three phases of the games, including special
teams as well.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What he told him say, just if we just think
about it. They turned the ball up, they're driving the ball,
they have a seventy two yard drive. The ends with
an interception in the touch that in the end zone,
so they're about.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
To score there.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
At worst case scenario, they're gonna get three points. So
they're about to score there. They're driving the ball again
and the guy tips in that the lion of scrimmage
and the linebacker picks it.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
So all they I'm sure coach el call.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
All they told them is like, guys, if we take
care of the football, we can beat this team. They
don't even belong on the field with us, because that
defense was really getting after us. Minds, they really didn't
do anything. They got points off turnovers. If we take
care of the football. We don't feel they could beat us.
We don't feel first of all, I don't feel they
should be on the field with.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Us, right A young I kind of felt bad watching
the game. Honestly felt bad for the quarterback. I felt
bad for nothing, you, no smire, No smire, Yes, I
really felt bad because when you're in a situation like
that where your officer line is getting dominated, you continuously
keep getting hit, and you have to hold your computer,
your composure. You can't show any emotion as a quarterback,
(07:17):
especially your office line is playing bad. You can't fuscate
anybody individually because I mean that that that that has
to suck as a quarterback. And it's funny how all
quarterbacks with regardless of what level you play at, do
you have to keep your composing and contain, you know,
not getting angry when your old line is just allowing
you to get.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Oh bli, oh blit. You said obliterate, obliterated? How you
said that's right? Obliterated?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's it, that's it. I never used that
word before. I've been working. I've been working on my
big words.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah yeah, uh, I mean do you go look at it,
text it and then with right down the field, boom, score,
right down the field, score quick and they just turned
the ball. And if you look at the second half,
they scored thirty five straight points. They got twenty one
in the third quarter, and they got another fourteen in
the fourth. LSU tax on a lake field a late
touchdown with under a minute to go.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
But the game of all tens and purposes.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Once they got the score got to twenty eight eighteen,
I didn't feel because I really hadn't seen LSU consistently.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Drive the football.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I didn't think at that point in time, unless Texas
A and them turned the football over, I didn't feel
LSU could do anything to keep up with them. So
unless they got a force A and M to turn
the ball over, they can get a scooping score, you know,
something like that. But other than that, I didn't see.
Based on what I have saw up until that point,
I didn't see. I didn't see anything. I didn't see
(08:39):
enough fight in LSU to make me think that they
could come back and win this ball game. Texas AY
and them. Marcel Reid had another outstanding game. He threw
the ball twelve of twenty one two h two two
touchdowns toward exceptions. He had thirteen rushing for one hundred
and eight yards two touchdowns. They ran the ball forty
attempts two hundred and twenty four yards. That's five point
sixty yards to carry, and they had four rushing touchdowns
(09:01):
and they had two touchdowns on the ground. Marci Marceill
Reid threw for two touchdowns. They had four rushing touchdowns
on the ground. So they just they did a number
on L.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
S U.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And Uh, for me just looking at it, it's time
for him to go. I mean, sometimes o't Joe, I
words just fall on deaf ears, Yes, sir, and I
understand in college because of the turnover. You see it
more in pro football because the guys stay a little longer. Yes,
but his words are not resonating then, I mean, and
(09:32):
in this game is not indicative of anything.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So I'm not just basic it on this game. But
what's L s U's record? Uns you?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Uh? They I think they were five and two.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
They lost the night.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I think I think they.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Fed previous week.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
They five and they five and three now, yes, five
two coming into the game, and it was the teams
that they were losing to losing to this team. But
it's it's how they lost. Sometimes it's more important to
how you lose than that you lose.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And you see Penn State, it wasn't that they've lost,
it's how they lost lost. Yeah, it's how.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You can't keep losing the team that you're favored to
beat by twenty and that granted they weren't favored to
win this ball game in LSU and Death Valley, and
at one point in time, you're down forty nine to eighteen.
Oh nah, no that and think about the money that
they're paying him and that staff. Yes, we talked about
(10:31):
this the other night, O Joe, is that college football
is getting a lot like NFL because you're paying college
coaches and they're getting these premium D season O c's,
and you're paying a big staff and you're having to
pay players now. So this long leash that you normally
would have got it the more.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
But also this is the problem. At what point I
know we always put we always point to the coaches.
We always point to the coaches, the money they're making.
Obviously you're paying players now, But what happens when the
players aren't playing them with the par despite what the
money that, despite the money they are making at the
college level.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Hell, huh, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Now, I'm gonna say what happens when the players aren't
playing up the par despite the NL and IL money
they are making, and it's always the coach's fault. Did
that mean that that's unfair if we don't have the players,
even though they're getting paid, we don't have the players
to compete with the better teams. Well, hell, how is
it my fault as a coach? I can only do
so much. I can only teach and coach so much.
(11:29):
At some point, the players got to execute the goddamn
I mean know it. I'm gonna say curriculum, the goddamn curriculum.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Shit. Who recruited those players?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Okay, you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Those are the players that he said gave him the
best chance to do. He the one that left No
to Dame. Normally, coaches don't leave. You don't leave Michigan,
you don't leave Ohio State. You don't leave Not to Dame,
you don't leave Alabama. You don't leave places like that. Now,
if you if you're gonna go to the NFL, I
get it. Yeah, you don't normally leave those programs and
(12:02):
go to another collegiate program, right, those are the best
of the best. He left No to Dame said he
wanted to compete for a national championship because he didn't
feel he could do it there. Although he had been
in the national title the national championship game with No
To Dame and they got the breaks beat off them
by Alabama, so he had been in that before. Just say,
(12:23):
you know what, guys, LSU offered me a ish ton
of money and I'm going down there.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I wait a minute now.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Along with getting a ton of money, also understand the
pedigree of athletes that come through LSU, that come through
the boot Honya, Justin Jeffersons, Jamar Chases. So I'm thinking
that pipeline of great players not only.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Receivers, but other skill positions as well.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I will always have an opportunity to get them coming
through here.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Oh you mean like Belik Neighbors. Oh you mean like
Brian Thomas Jr.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Oh them, Yeah, and he ain't win no national championship
with them.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Guys, Okay, you got me, you got you got me.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
But also, hey, listen, having those type of players gives
you a better chance of getting them.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Now, do they have anything anything? Close to that right now?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Oh, I got who if you don't mind me asking?
O yo, who was throwing the ball to them? Not
the Heisman Trophy winn of James Daniels.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yeah that's him. Yeah, that's him.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So what is the likelihood if you're not competing for
a national championship if you got what three guys that
go in the first I mean I think I think
Brian Thomas Ju.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Was the first run.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, he was Jay Dames, the number two pick Eliite
neighbors with the first round pick for the Giant, Brian
Thomas Jr. If you don't win a national championship with
those guys, what makes you think that was probably your
best opportunity?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Yeah, when Jaden was there, Absolutely, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I just think it's time.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I think, you know, LSU is probably like, look, man,
we're not close. We're not close. We're not Because now
you see A and M. They're moving up. Oh miss,
they're moving up. Look I can live with if Alabama
is doing this. Thus, I can live with that. That's Alabama.
If George's doing this, I can live with that. Vanderbilt
(14:16):
beat us, Vanderbilt beat us.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
This ain't the same Vanderbilt now.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That should never be the same LSU. That should be
the same LSU. That should be the LSU that produced
all those first.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Round, those high round draft picks and put player after
player after player after player in the NFL. So I
get it. You're right, dude, absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
This is not the Vanderbilt that I when I was
in college and the last ten years, the last fifteen years,
just say the last five years, the last two years.
Last year they got Alabama, we thought that was a fluke.
This year they come back and they get LSU, and
they played Alabama really close. The quarterback probably had a
couple of turnovers, uncharacteristic turnovers. But if you can't consistently,
(14:59):
so you losing to Alabama, you losing the old miss,
you losing.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I think Florida got him. I just I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I just don't know, Ojo, if there's going to be
a better scenario or there's a better situation than what
he currently has and he can't win, he can't win.
LSU is about you're trying to win the national championship.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Yeah, you know, you know it's really crazy though, if
you think about the landscape of college football and you're
saying that he needs to be fired because he can't
be the better teams in college football and a five
and three LSU team the coach deserves to be fired
(15:42):
when other coaches and other teams would be elated and
happy to even be above five hundred in winning and
being five and three.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's not your record, it's where you are, and what's
the expectations that comes along with where you are? You know, A, yeah,
you can be ecstatic about being five three, but how
close is that getting you to play for a the
SEC championship? How close is that to getting you to
play for a college football championship?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
That ain't close. That is not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
So here's another year that's gonna go by that guess what,
LSU is not complete peak competing for an SEC title
and they're not gonna be in the college football playoffs.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
And that that's crazy. How just having a winning season
is not enough?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Not good enough?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Think about the kind of money that they have invested
in this press, in this program. Remember your print. Brian
Kelly is probably making ten million dollars a year. Yeah, okay,
you're paying the offensive coordinator at least a million million
and a half, same thing with the DC and then
all your other staff. So you might got fifteen, sixteen,
seventeen million dollars invested in a staff. Now I throw
(16:47):
another four or five million dollars on top of that
for NILS.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
So I got a twenty I got a twenty million.
I'm pumping out.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Twenty million dollars. What at least get me to the
SEC championship game. Please let me get let me see
what it's like.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Oh, the college bowl money, I mean the college football
playoff money, that's huge money. At least get some of that.
Get at that.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Yeah, and listen, you know what, And you can blame
all the players that came through L s U. Honey Badger,
Yamar Joe Burrow because the expectation for them.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
For when they're going and Pat p Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Listen, the expectations are high. If you don't reach a
certain a certain uh college football playoffs are competing for
a national championship. You know what, even if it's a
winter season, it's a fucking failure.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yes, he said he wanted to go somewhere to compete
for a national championship. He opened his mind. Ain't nobody
asking that? An't nobody asking why he was.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Going down there, right right right. Forget the fact that
they paid.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You probably double the salary that you was making at
a Notre Dame. But that's not here north there, or
at least money time time one and a half times
that would you would make it. You said you want
to compete for a national championship. I believe right now
they're fur the way than they were when he arrived.
So if I'm other way than when you arrive, and
we're paying you this kind of money, it doesn't make
(18:05):
sense to me. It doesn't make sense to me to
keep paying for something when I don't know it doesn't work.
At what point in time?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Oyo?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Okay, I got this car, and one week is the radiator,
the next week is the transmission, and the week after
that is the catalytic converter, and the next week of
that is the voter drigar. At some point in time,
it's just time to get me a new car. Yeah,
at some point in time, ojo, it is just time
to get me a new coach.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yeah, damn A.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
But can I tell you something, Yes, Sometimes you gotta
be careful what you wish for. And this is for
LSU fans in general getting a new coach and still
having the same players. I mean, if I not much
of it, does anything really change if you still changing
the coach, It's like it's like, hey, you got it.
(18:55):
You got a car, right, Yeah, it ain't running good
because the engine you got, But you change the goddamn
tires and expected to drive different because you put new
tires on them.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Off, my bad on it, you know.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
What I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yes, you're still going to need the players.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
You're still going to need the talent at certain positions.
You need some dogs, maybe two or three of them.
You ain't got to be the whole team, just two
or three that can make a difference, that can impact
you on defense, that can make an impact on offense.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
If you ain't got that.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Hell, if you ain't got no quarterback, you might as
well chalk up the whole season.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Well, Bryce Underwood the quarterback that went to Michigan, he
was supposed to go to LSU and then the big
donors that Michigan stepped in. Yeah, and you know, twelve
and a half million dollars over four years they lose out.
Now would he have helped the situation? Maybe, But we
(19:49):
don't know. All we can do is go about what
they currently have, and what they currently have is not
enough to help them compete for an SEC title. Because
at the end of the day, o jo without competing
for an SEC title, how do you get to go
to the college football playoff? Because the teams are so good?
I mean you got you. I mean you got Alabama
with one loss. I think you got Old Mess with
(20:10):
one loss. You got A and M with no losses.
You got Georgia with what one loss? So so what
so where does that leave you with three losses?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Out the picture exactly. Hey, inside the house, in the window,
looking through the blinds.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, what's Vanderbilt's record? The Vanderbilts and Vanderbilts beat you,
so you can't leave for them. No, you still got
Tennessee got a better record than you.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah, I think Kaxas has a better record than you.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Oklahoma has a better record than you.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
See how far are you down there? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
They're like, nah, that that's not that's not what we
paid for. I mean, give a M A and m
A and m looked really good. They got up there
hunting the quarterback defense. Yeah, yeah, man, they got up
to the quarterback that offense is really efficient. You got
Marcel with those legs and he can throw the ball.
They got guys that can make plays. I mean the
way he threw that overwrop just over the outset stretched
(21:08):
guy's hand and the guy snagged it.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
With one hand. Yeah, spin and tug off running was nice. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, they got They got a very very very good squad.
It's gonna be interesting to see. I think they're on
the same side as Alabama.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I think they're on that same side as Obama.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Hey, hey, you speaking speaking of quarterbacks right and speaking
of Reese and in Pavia. Uh, I'm not sure if
Carson Beckett is in the conversation. I still have yet.
We we in week eight. We're going in the week eight.
I ain't heard nothing about Heisman Trophy. Who might be
the front runner. I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
No.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Uh, the Ray Reeves played, I think he's in contention eight.
No guys playing. Welsh Tie Simpson, the Alabama Mendozo.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I watched him today against U C. L A.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Now, I understand UCLA wasn't back to back games, but
they leave a lot to be desired. They drop fifty
fifty on them one the division.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
U c LA since they fired coach. They won the
last three nine. Yeah, until they met and til they.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Met in the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah's quarterback is looking good. Uh yeah, but it's it's
still wide open, Joe. It's wide open. It's gonna come down. Hell,
it might come down to a championship game.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
But I don't think.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Anybody, anybody is running away with it. It's not like,
oh yeah, yeah, that's the Heisman troph winner right there. No,
that's that's not it.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
The fact that we're in the NILO money era in general,
where players are able to be played, where players are
able to get paid for their services. There's been no
one to stand out this year that is a Joe
Burrow type or Cam Newton or Jaydon Daniels or c. J. Strouds,
someone that just jumps out at you on tape and
(22:52):
knowing that no matter, no matter what, we have a chance.
As long as this individual is on the field and
has the ball in his hands all the time, we
have a chance.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
There's there's nothing like that this year.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, Diego Pavia, who's going to join us a little later. Yeah,
he's he's in the running. Considering what Vanderbilt normally what
has been and what the way he has them positioned
right now?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yeah, they're definitely in the mix.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Excuse me, excuse my lack of knowledge was just just
based on watching Pavia the past three four weeks. Is
his comparison? Am I wrong to say Baker Mayfield type is?
Speaker 6 (23:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yes, he kind of reminds you more of Johnny, but
he his his runs are more designed than Johnny. Johnny
was like Johnny would drop back the past and that
I think they had every intention for Johnny to pass
he Jotty like it ain't there.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, he and he was all over the place.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
But uh, and I think that you know, Johnny is
mentoring him because he Johnny probably sees himself a lot
in here right. Number four Alabama rally to beat South
Carolina twenty nine twenty two Bright Stadium for its seventh
straight win. Jeremy Bernard scored two touchdowns in the final
two and a half minutes.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Ty Sampson threw for two hundred and fifty three.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yards two touchdowns, DeShawn Jones returning in exception eighteen yards
of all score. Look, South Carolina had him had him
on the ropes. They go get a touchdown. Okay, South
Carolina can get the ball, run all the time off
the clock and get a field goal or touched down
and win the game. Give lost and unbelievable credit because
(24:31):
they have sellers locked up and he rips the ball
out and I know people like, man, what the cornerbacks
do it? He probably would instructed if they get past
Let him score, let him go. The one thing we
don't want to do is to have them run time
off the clock and then kick a walk off field goal.
So the guy they ran a great call. And Bernard
is their best receiver. Yeah, I know what, I know
(24:54):
what win? You dropped too many passes? He drops entirely
too many passes. Bernard is the receiver.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Okay, wait wait, wait wait, okay, stay with me real quick. Okay,
Bernard is their most consistent receiver. He's not their best receiver.
Their best receiver is Ryan Williams.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Not right now?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
So you basing everything, And let me ask your question.
If you didn't see last year and you just watching
this year, what would you say that?
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Okay, no, but is their best receiver? Okay?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
That that I can't I can't. Look.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
We gained three million dollars on nil money for last year.
We're talking about this year. Oh Joe, he dropped far
too many passes. Oh Joe, Yeah, I mean far too me,
Oh Joe, you can't. You come on now, you if
you that guy and dropping passes like that? Yeah, I
don't know if I've ever seen a receiver like with
the ability that he has and know what he's capable of, yes,
(25:47):
to drop as many passes as he does.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
I don't know. If it's a lack of concentration, I
don't know what. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
But he's dropping routine stuff, oh Joe, stuff that he's
supposed to stick in his back pocket.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got You gotta go back to
the basics, man, You gotta go back to the basis obviously.
Just like baseball, you know you have sluggers. Sometimes sluggers
go on the slump. Sometime they're going to slump, and
that slump can last for a few games. But once
you come out of that slump and get your confidence back,
that's all it comes down to, not only your eyes
and seeing the ball all the way in, but also
(26:20):
that confidence in your head or I'm going to get
jiggy with this. I'm gonna get jiggy with this. And
most of the time that confidence comes with what with
repetition of catching the ball, not then goddamn practice, forget
do it in the practice, catch it in the game,
catching it early, feeling it early, feel like you're a
part of the offense. And he'll get himself back into
a group. Once you get back in that groove, you'll
(26:41):
be okay. Because even me, as much trash as I
talk on, if I drop a ball, I got the jitters.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I'm not eve gonna lie to you.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
I got the jitters because the next ball that comes,
I ain't using nan hand. It's gonna hit the eight
in the five. It's gonna hit the eight and the five.
And I'm a cradleer and make sure I get it now.
Once I get that confidence, and I'm I feel like, okay,
I can relax now. Now I can get myself back
in the roogle. Then I'm snatching everything out there right.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Todd Simpson was twenty four forty three, two fifty three
two touchdowns. They pressured him an unbelievable amount of times.
Alabama really didn't run the football today, so they weren't
able to keep those rushers at bay. Barrett had an
outstanding game. The defensive lineup from South Carolina. They got
a couple of guys over there that's gonna be playing
on Sunday, Bigcause some guys just gonna be playing on Sunday.
(27:29):
And when you can't run the football and a team
can just pin their ears back, because they were able
to stop you with their front four and then come hunt.
I mean they had twenty three rushes for seventy two
yards basically three yards of carry. Yeah, with along of
twenty five and that was Bernard And you.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Know, you know it's funny if if South Carolina was
able to stop them the way they stopped the run,
if they were to stop with the backing, was able
to stop the pass, or.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
It would have been a different ball game. Yeah, it
would have been a whole different ballgames.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
But when with Alabama needed to make plays basically not
the final drive, but the drive before and they needed
to go down and get and get points out of it,
they were able to do that. Yeah, and that's what
and that's what you know, that's how you measure a team. Okay,
when you have to have it, you absolutely have to
have it.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Can you go get it?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Can your offense stay on the field? Can you convert
third downs? Can you stay in front of the sticks
instead of being second and ten? Can you make it
second and six, second and five, third instead.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Of third and long?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Can you make it thirty one to three, thirty three
to five? Things that are manageable. You're not gonna keep
picking up thirty long. You're not gonna be keep picking
up third and eight, third and ten, third and thirteen,
second and fourteen. You're not gonna keep You're not gonna
keep converting. The shorter the distance, the more app you
are to convert that. And give Alabama credit. Give their
(28:55):
defense credit because when they needed they needed to bowl
their backs, they did that as well, because they took.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
The ball from it.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
They took the ball from South Carolina and put their
offense on a short field. But yet, look, look, I
thought I would get more from Sellers this year. I'm
kind of disappointing the way he's played this year. He
hadn't been what I thought he was gonna be. I
thought because watching him.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Last year and seeing how well he played last year,
I thought.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
This year he'd come in and just step picked right
up where he left off and play even better. That's
that was my expectation. And you know, he might come
out and he still might be a high round draft pick.
But I definitely thought I would see I would see
more from him, more from him this year. One game
he got knocked I forget what game, I think a
Missouri game. He ended up getting knocked out of that game,
(29:42):
and he just had he hadn't played well this year.
He hadn't played well this year that he threw an
interception and he had. You know that the interception really
wasn't his fault. His guy tipped it, popped up in
there and to get a pick six on that. But
oh Joe, you cannot. You cannot fumbled the ball in
(30:02):
negative territory and have it ripped out.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
You can't let him rip that ball out. Give Alabama
credit and give loss in credit. The guy that poured
it out, he saw they had him. He wasn't going nowhere,
So now let me just attack the football. Did a
great job of popping it out. Alabama showed me something.
They're still not out of the wood. They still got
Auburn as put up a put Alabama schedule up. They
(30:34):
for Alabama number the number four Crimson Tide. They're playing
well since that first game. I mean, think about where
they're think about that. After the first game, we saw
Alabama and we saw Alabama's gonna go here in Florida
State was gonna go there. But yeah, opposite, Alabama is
going here in Florida State's going there, complete.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Complete opposite. It's it's it's it's.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
A small sample size of you at but it's not
who it's not your true identity.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
It's too early in the season.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
They get l s U at home, that's that's a win.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
They get Oklahoma at home.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
That's gonna be a good one.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Eastern Illinois at home, that's a win. And they're on
the road at Auburn Iron Bowl.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
That's gonna be a good one.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
That's gonna be a good one. Because you know, when
you when you play a rival, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Throw the records out of the window, because guess what
that might be for a chance to go to the
SEC championship game. That might be for a chance to
play for the college football playoffs. So I always said, look,
we ain't got no chance for none of that. So
you know, what misery loves company. Well, if we ain't
got no if we ain't got no lights, you ain't
(31:45):
gonna have no gas. So hey, I want everybody Hey,
k C and you cold. So that works out there.
Everybody miserable. That's that's how I look at everybody miserable. Yeah,
I mean they go on the roll. I mean, think
about it. They beat Georgia, I mean they got a
(32:06):
very impressive rather they think about it, they beat number five, Georgia,
number sixteen, Vandy number fourteen, Missouri number eleven ten a C.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Now if they go, if they beat.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
LSU, I don't know if LSU will be ranked at
the time, they might fall out of the top twenty five.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
R Oklahoma lost.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Today, they won't fall out of the top twenty five.
But if you beat one, two, three, four, five five
ranked teams, yeah, that's gonna that. The committee is gonna
really gonna really gonna really find that impressive.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Absolutely, and obviously you know the committee now only gonna
find an impressive But you know who.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Moves the needle Alabama.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Alabama movies never travel. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:47):
Economic economically at that and you know what it's about
when it comes to goddamn playoffs. Yes, we need to
be able to make as much as possible the teams
that we choose and have to be on this road.
And who does that better roll tige.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Roll tide and travel and and I think the thing
is on shore in the college football playoffs. Now the
first game is at home, so you know, Alabama's gonna
sell out. You know, any of these teams in the SEC.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
And for the most part of uh Ohio State, teams
like that, come on. You know what they do.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You know who they are absolutely and their fan bases
travel very well.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
They travel.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
So you know, we're gonna you know, you're trying to
get eighty eighty five ninety thousand in the ring and
in the stadiums every time we have a college football
playoff game. And it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter where
you play. Alabama's going. Alabama's gonna go. They're gonna pick it.
They're gonna, they're gonna they're gonna ay load up the
r and bs and and they're gonna go get the
airbnbs and they're gonna they coming. They're gonna bring that
(33:49):
economic boom the Ohio State, the Georgia, those teams they
travel and that means a lot. Now the resume speaks
for itself. I mean, like I said, number fourteen Missouri,
number eleven of C, number fifteen vanded number five Georgia,
BIGI yeah, on the road, beat South Carolina. And they
(34:14):
beat Georgia on the road. And they beat Missouri on
the road and they yeah, beat South Carolina. Now South
Carolina is not what we thought they were going to beat, right,
which is disappointing to me. But hey, I beat here
on my schedule and they're on the schedule and we
beat him. But I was very impressed with I was
(34:35):
very impressed. You know, ti Ty Simpson didn't have his
best game today. He had Bernard on the over route
and just overshot him because he if he catches, he's
out the gate, he's gone, he gone. And he just
overshot him and he knew it. I mean, do you
see him on the sidelight?
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Like my bad? But I like I like Bernard. I
like Bernard's consistent. He twitchy. Now I don't know how
fast he is.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, yeah he is.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah man.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
And uh but Alabama, Alabama has to be pleased Kailyn
the Borer because you know, the lady wanted to win
the lotteries because you wanted them up out of there.
She said the first thing, she said, the first thing
I'm gonna do because I'm gonna pay give Alabama seventy
whatever it takes, and he gonna be gone.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
Matter of fact, after they lost the LSU game, that's
all the whole timeline.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
State him getting up out of there. But goddamn, oh.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Yeah, man, they don't play.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Hey, you got to understand the unprecedented level of success
that they've had for the last twenty Oh joe. They've
won six national championships, they've played for two others, and
they've been in the College Football playoffs up team time.
So think about it. That's when that's when the fan
(35:48):
base gets spoiled. Every three years we win the national championship.
Every other year we're playing for an NCC title. Every
other year we're in the college Football playoff. So when
you a, I mean, Kallen the board lost three games
last year. Fire, you gotta go, oh joe, this is
(36:10):
the seventeen time in eighteen years they've started at least
seven or.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
What is seventy one?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Yeah, seven seventeen times in eighteen years.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
That they've started at least seventy one. Ben, let me
teach the battle fan. They tried to hear, No. Ten
and three.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
If it's ten and three, you better have a national
championship attached to it, right, tenty three and you don't
ten and three and you didn't play for an SCC
title and you didn't go to the college football player.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Man, please, Yeah, has got his got Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
They tried to They try to hear that. None of that.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
So uh.

Is he is? He ready? Okay?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
We got our very special guests joining us tonight. Today
Vandy had his first appearance on college game day in
seventeen years, and the come out Commodorees beat Missouri to
extend the program's best start in eighty years. Better yet,
three wins have come against ap top twenty five teams,

Speaker 3 (38:18):
DP now, like, huh when this season looked after last year,
what you were able to do?
Speaker 1 (38:25):
You beat Alabama for the first time in forever, and
so now you set expectations coming into this season.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
What were the expectations for you and this ball club?
Speaker 6 (38:35):
Well, we set out in January that we want to
win the national championship. We feel like we're the best
team in college football still. Our defense really good, our
offense is good, and our special team is good.
Speaker 7 (38:46):
So we just put those three together.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Shoot, you know what it is, and you you the
way you've been playing. You kind of caught people by
surprise last year. But the way you played last year,
so you know the expectations coming in this year. You're
supposed to improve on last year's production. How have you
been able to stay even keel? Don't get too high,
(39:10):
don't read the press, the internet, the press, clippers, and
let everybody patch you on the back and tell you
how great you are.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
You stayed really level headed. But you played exceptional well
this year.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Coming into this year, a lot of people were like, man,
Diego's figured out, he's washed.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
Yeah, got it, you know what I mean? Real shit,
real shit, That's what they were saying.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Yeah, yeah, you know, come show me, come showing you.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
Ain't got it. Come showing you got me figure it out?
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Butrus you.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
I think the most important thing, though, is word seem
like we all got each other six That's how it is.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Hey, get you're confident. Where you from?
Speaker 6 (39:45):
Original Albuquerque, New Mexico. They call it albut crazy New Mexico.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
With the confidence you have, not only the way you play,
the way you speak, the way you carry yourself, the
way you walk.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
You move your aura, you move like you him where's
that confidence come from?
Speaker 5 (40:01):
Especially at the quarterback position. Most of the time it's
frowned upon. They want to be button up and say
all the right things.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
But I like your style. I like your style.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
And do you think once you get to the next level,
please tell me you remain the same way you are now.
Speaker 7 (40:16):
I want to be the same killer I've always been.
I've been doing this shit since Juco.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
You feel me, but don't believe in me.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
No, I like it.
Speaker 7 (40:24):
I was a negative star. You ever see one of those?
Speaker 3 (40:31):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
I like it yet.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
But the thing is, I'm looking at your numbers. I
mean ten or nineteen one to twenty nine. You didn't
have the greatest day, but you found a way when
the rubber needed to meet the road. When you need
a it's ten ten, and it's four minutes in the
ball game, and we got to go down and get
a touchdown because we're gonna put pressure on you.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
We don't want you to kick no field goal.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
We want you to come down against our defense and
have to get a tub because I will get this
in the end zone.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
I will eight. Hey, don't we gonna get this ball?
When I throw it, you catch it. When I hand
it to you.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
Just hold on to it because we're gonna get this
ball in the n and we're gonna put pressure on
them to make them go down and get a touchdown
against our defense.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
I was just in the huddle and we came off
the time out and the first player was supposed to
go to me, and then they changed it up and
gave it to SETI SETI got it clos or whatever,
and I knew that next player.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
I knew.
Speaker 7 (41:27):
I knew that bitch was going to me.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
So I was like, hey, so let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
They throw the hell Mary and the guy catches it,
because the officials at first said no.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Good but they review it and they look, he caught it,
but he was at the one.
Speaker 6 (41:46):
I was like, oh shit, we're going into overtime. And
the crazy thing is is that we went into overtime
with them last year too. The score was twenty, so
it was like, I was like, oh shit, then shit
coming number. But it was gonna swing our way this time,
you know.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Right right?
Speaker 1 (42:01):
So now look you're seven and one. There's still a
chance you guys can get to the SEC Championship game.
You go to the SEC Championship Game, anything can happen.
You know, you win the SEC, you go into the
college football player. That's the one thing we know. Whoever,
moving forward from now into perpetuity, if you win the
SEC championship, you're gonna be in the college football playoff.
(42:23):
So now, how do you remain How do you keep
this team focused? They're like, look, guys, we really haven't
accomplished anything yet. Yeah, we're seven and one and we're
happy and the words of young fuck whoop did do?
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Whoop? Did do?
Speaker 1 (42:36):
We seven and one? But now I'm trying how do
I get to be eight and one? So what's your message?
What's gonna be your message to your team? Obviously, gonna
enjoy the win, you get twenty four hours enjoying win. Yes,
what's gonna be your message to your team on Sunday?
Speaker 7 (42:49):
Well, I think a lot of guys broke up with
their girlfriends, so they're hungry themselves. Real shit, real shit,
just broke up with this girl. He's hungry, he said,
feeding the ball.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
You know.
Speaker 6 (43:02):
Okay, that's a lot of guys on got girlfriends right
now on the team. So I think that motivates us.
But I think going into this next game, it's taking
one game at a time, like Texas is a good team.
They want tonight in a critical time and we'll see
them at home. Dude, we're really excited just to get
another opportunity to play though. Uh our defense playing lights
(43:23):
out our old line.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
They were.
Speaker 7 (43:26):
They were coming up to me after the game and
they're like, yo, bro, sorry sorry, sorry, now my due.
Speaker 6 (43:29):
We won, you know, but they just want to play
better and just like become so dominant, Like that's just
the expectation of just being abandonable for all player. Now
is just being dominant, like, not not these little margin wins.
It's going out there and just lay it on the line.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
You know, how have you been have you been able
to stay level headed? Obviously, look, Vanderbilt, the program is
not what it's not Alabama. It's not one of these
perennial powerhouses. But you're turning it into that because Johnny
Manzail put texts seeing them back on the map. It
was now when they think of Texas A and M.
(44:04):
And they've had good players come out of Texas A
and M. But Texas A and M now is the
house where they play. Kyle Field is the house that
Johnny built. Now you're that guy. You're the guy that's
putting Vanderbilt football back on the map. So how does
how does diego popia? Stay level headed? And that you know,
you the ish you know that, you know, I mean
you're like, damn, what's that smell?
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (44:26):
That's me? Because I'm the dookie. That's me.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
So so how do you how do you stay level
headed to make sure that you don't get too far
in front of yourself?
Speaker 3 (44:38):
Well?
Speaker 7 (44:39):
One, I do yoga every Monday. That makes you come
and just like come back to earth, you know.
Speaker 6 (44:45):
And then on Tuesday, after practice, I do a lot
of grounding on ground for like an hour and that
usually after that it's like our full reset. I'm good
to go, ready for fucking Saturday.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
That's what I do. So so what what what?
Speaker 6 (45:02):
What?
Speaker 3 (45:02):
What a party? What a party at tonight?
Speaker 7 (45:04):
Have you ever heard of the street called Broadway?
Speaker 4 (45:08):

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Halftime, halftime.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
Damn, Hey you tall, you talk good man man, Yeah,
you tell you tah good. They're not ranked. They not ranked,
but they could play some ball.
Speaker 3 (52:44):
Yeah, I guess so, I guess the band. The band
gonna be playing a lot tonight.
Speaker 4 (52:49):
Yeah, dang.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
Number eight.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
The Old Miss ReBs beat Oklahoma cour twenty six and nine.
Chamberlains through for three hundred and fifteen yards and a touchdown.
Kiwan Lacey ran for two scores. Uh, they were losing.
They got out too a lead, Oklahoma came back and
then Oh Miss scored the final nine points in order
(53:18):
to win the ball game. Trinder Dad Tap champlains with
twenty four forty four three to fifteen one touchdown. He
ran the ball twelve times for fifty three yards. They
had forty one rushes one hundred and sixteen yards. John Mattier,
Oklahoma was seventeen or thirty one two twenty three one touchdown.
(53:40):
Xavier Robinson had nine carries for a buck six a
buckle nine twenty eight rushes one thirty six teams.
Speaker 3 (53:47):
That see what happened? Old Miss had okay nine of
twenty one.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
Damn when you have twenty one third downs o jo, Yeah,
look that was a good bounce back when for uh
for Old Miss had a big lead last week, coughed
that up against Georgia and had a lead that had
(54:16):
what you call them, they flipped the script this week.
H Lane keeping the coach and now look, there have
been rumblings that he might go to Florida. Florida's gonna
try to throw the bag because they got Look when
you one of these schools on you and you're trying
to land the coach and you one of these prominent schools, Florida,
Penn State.
Speaker 3 (54:30):
You know, Penn State is not what they once were,
but they still have a name. You still need a name.
Speaker 4 (54:36):
A name. A name ain't gonna cut it.
Speaker 5 (54:39):
I mean, we've come to realize that the name Penn State,
the name LSU is not gonna cut it because unless
you get the certain players, the players that you need,
the special the impact players, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 4 (54:51):
You just getting a bunch of guys and most of the.
Speaker 5 (54:53):
Time we get fascinated with four star, five star you know.
I mean it's cute, it's cute to be rank like that,
But what are you? What kind of star are you're
going to be? Want you on that field? Want you
on that field? Because we here, we got all these
four and five star rankings, right, and you look at
the landscape of college football, nobody's.
Speaker 4 (55:11):
Playing like a four or five star rank.
Speaker 3 (55:13):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 5 (55:14):
You know every week you supposed to be popping out
on tape every week if you five star.
Speaker 3 (55:21):
I don't care who you playing. You're absolutely right. I
one thousand percent agree with you.
Speaker 1 (55:28):
I mean, that's why you was able to get that
big That's why you was able to get a million
dollars or you were able to get five hundred thousand
dollars according to your position.
Speaker 3 (55:35):
What's because you were supposed to be that dude. Okay,
now show me, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (55:39):
Listen, listen. Matter of fact, think about the nil money.
One of the players that makes the most, you know,
Jeremiah Smith.
Speaker 4 (55:47):
Yeah, unk, every time he is on the field. You
locked in because something happened. You don't know what and
you don't know when, but you know it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (56:00):
Yeah, I agree, that's a five star.
Speaker 4 (56:03):
That's someone that is worth every penny he's being paid.
An I l.
Speaker 5 (56:08):
There are very few of him in the entirey of
college football. You know what Ohio State is playing. I
have to watch them because I want to see what
that individual is gonna do and the rest of the
supporting casts as well.
Speaker 4 (56:20):
It's also good.
Speaker 1 (56:21):
Yeah Mississippi there, what's their record now? They're they're seventy one.
Speaker 4 (56:30):
Yeah, they lost one.
Speaker 1 (56:31):
They're gonna have something. They're gonna have something to say
about the SEC Championship. I think they're on the side
with Alabama. I think they're in the SEC West. But
the chamberains threw the ball really well today. I'm very
impressed with the way he threw the ball. I thought
(56:52):
they ran the ball well enough, you know, less than
three yards of care. But they had a players on yo.
And so the thing is is that when you run
the ball, look, I want to throw it because we're
having success throwing it. But I got to give you
something to think about. I just can't let you guys
pin their edge back and come hunt my quarterback. So
I gotta give you something else to think about other
(57:14):
than this jumping off the you know, jumping, jumping the
snap and coming to hunt the quarterback. But Chambers he
had to throw the ball that well. And we know Alabama,
excuse me, we know Oklahoma. Brent Bevenables is the coach.
We know him from from Clemson when he had those
defense and we know he's a pressure guy.
Speaker 3 (57:30):
He loves to come hunt the quarterback. What have they done?
They beat Georgia State, They beat Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (57:37):
This is old miss Old beat Georgia State, Old Kentucky, Arkansas, Tulane,
they beat number four LSU at the time, they beat
Washington State. They had Georgia on the ropes and they
let Georgia come back and beat them. They held on
and they beat Oklahoma. Now they get South Carolina at home,
(58:02):
they get the Citadel at home, they get Florida at home,
who recently fired their coach, and they get the Egg
Bowl where they go play the Mississippi the Mississippi State.
Speaker 3 (58:11):
So there's a good chance they run the table here,
oh Joe, and finished eleven and one.
Speaker 1 (58:17):
Absolutely, there's a great chance, a great chance that they
run the table.
Speaker 3 (58:26):
And then't see what happens.
Speaker 4 (58:30):
That goddamn committee.
Speaker 1 (58:32):
Committee gonna have their work cut out for him. This year,
they're gonna be There're gonna be a lot of teams
that was one loss or two losses.
Speaker 5 (58:39):
Well, listen, if you got common sense and you already
know who the committee is gonna pick, you already know
who they're gonna pick, regardless of you having one loss.
Sometime even you could be undefeated depending on who you are,
depending on the school.
Speaker 4 (58:52):
But this is all about you know what at the
end of the day, you know what ite about?
Speaker 3 (58:56):
Yeah, because I don't think I don't think we have
those schools. I don't think we.
Speaker 1 (59:00):
Gonna have We don't have a boys in state OHO
that was undefeated. That's thirteen and oher and although the
conference wasn't the strongest, they were undefeated.
Speaker 3 (59:09):
We don't have that this year.
Speaker 1 (59:10):
I don't know if the Big twelve ashes in leading
the Big twelve? Are we or was that the SMU
SMU lost what did it?
Speaker 3 (59:20):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (59:21):
I don't know if we're gonna have a scenario like
what we had last year. So with that being said,
are we gonna get three four schools from the SEC?
Are we gonna get two three schools from the Big ten?
Speaker 4 (59:39):
Are we?
Speaker 1 (59:41):
Because I don't see I don't see a boys that
state out there. I don't see an undefeated team out there.
Oho And you're like, Okay, this team is undefeated, they
won their conference championship. We can't leave them at home
and take a two lost team. Now, with that being said,
it's more app you see a two law team in
(01:00:01):
the INNY college football playoffs. So it's gonna be it's
gonna be interested in the committee. They're gonna have their
work cutout for because I think they're gonna be a
lot of teams that have one loss. You know, old
mess could have one loss not get to the SEC
title game. You get a Georgia looks like Georgia and
the SEC they're gonna at the SEC East seems like
(01:00:22):
they're gonna be okay. But you know, you might have
a Vandy, a one loss Vandy and don't get to
the and don't get to the SEC title game.
Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Yes, that's that's unfair. Yeah, that's unfair.
Speaker 5 (01:00:35):
But I understand what listen watching the committee since they
since they implemented the playoffs, watching the Committee and what
they do and the teams that they pick, I know
what the bottom line is the end of the day.
I need the team that are going to the playoffs,
that are going to generate us the most money. What
(01:00:55):
makes the most sense that that's what it come down to.
Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
I think there's a twelve isn't it twelve teams this year?
Ash okay, it's twelve this year? So oh yeah, it
was twelve teams, So gonna be very interesting. On Joe,
(01:01:23):
I can see a scenario where the SEC and the
Big ten dominate the slots. I really can see a
scenario where it looks like but we knew eventually it
was gonna come down that it's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (01:01:39):
It's gonna be basically two super conferences.
Speaker 5 (01:01:43):
If you had to take your pick, even though it's
really early, we only eight games in not to not
only get through the playoffs but win the national championship,
who would be your pick?
Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
It's early if you was a beat man.
Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
I still think Ohio State is the best team that
I've seen. But I really really really like Texas say
and m okay watching Texas A and HM, I think
Obama has an excellent chance.
Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
I think Bama can you count? Can you count Georgia out?
Can you man? Like I said, I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Old miss one loss, Vanderbilt one loss, Bama one loss,
Georgia one loss. Got four teams with one loss in
that conference. Yeah, I think Oklahoma has one loss, maybe
two now, Yeah, Oklahoma has two losses now and they
(01:02:40):
still got they still got Alabama on their schedule, so
it's gonna be very, very interesting. The Texas Longhorn had
a stunning comeback oh your over Mississippi State. They rallied
for seventeen points down in the fourth quarter, send the
game to overtime and winning in overtime. But however, arch
Manny was knocked out of the game after helming the
period abount. This them bounce off the ground at the
(01:03:02):
end of the thirteen yard running the first playoff overtime.
Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
They showed they showed me a little something today. Yeah,
all right, showed me something.
Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
Hey, he getting he getting he getting better and better.
He's getting better and better, a little bit, a little
bit more consistent.
Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Yep, I'm trying to find a score.
Speaker 4 (01:03:25):
