football team. I really do. Thank Clemson, but have good
football team. George is gonna have a good football team.

pick Georgia. I think that's the team's debating.

Well, you're probably right, coach, that's a good choice. So
let me go back to Alabama.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Coach.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
They could have a very good football team and lose
some games because they got a hard schedule.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And you know how important schedule.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
That's Alabama. They don't need to be playing the GIMMEI game.

Clemson can beat them, that be a great way to
get to see and started.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, that's you know, it's true. But a loss is
that bad depending on how bad it is? Right again,
if you lose in this game and it's a close game.
It ain't as bad. It ain't as bad as loss
as you think it is. Wouldn't that be right to say?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
