1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,140
 It's time for the Valley's Exclusive FM Sports Voice.

2
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:09,560
 The Boomo Bugg Show.

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:15,160
 New Exclusive Inside Track to the Tide, Tigers, Tennessee and the rest of the SEC.

4
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:21,380
 Now your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,060
 Good afternoon and welcome here to the Boomo Bugg Show.

6
00:00:25,180 --> 00:00:26,960
 I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird.

7
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:30,160
 Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,240
 Brett Beaird, welcome in.

9
00:00:31,420 --> 00:00:37,280
 Where the question is, what did Bama's big football boss have to say in the Tennessee Valley last night?

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,940
 And is it safe to say that ACC baseball is okay?

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,180
 Good afternoon, welcome in and how are you?

12
00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:46,040
 Happy Tuesday to you and the listeners.

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:55,460
 Yes, I got a chance to go to Scottsboro last night to hear Kalen DeBoer and the university president, Dr. Peter Moeller, who is really good.

14
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:05,420
 But, Harold, you can tell Kalen DeBoer now going into his third year, much more relaxed, much more congenial, was very engaged in the audience.

15
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:13,300
 I thought they did a very good job as we went over there in the most atrocious weather I may have been associated with in my life.

16
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:27,280
 As you alluded to, Oklahoma rose past North Carolina 13-2 for their first national championship since 1994 in the SEC's seventh role in baseball.

17
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:36,740
 But, Roger is here right now to recap a bucket list trip to the College World Series in a phenomenal year for Alabama athletics.

18
00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:39,360
 He's the man, Roger Hoover, behind the mic.

19
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:43,800
 No matter the sport or the Alabama Crimson Tide Network, Roger Hoover, welcome in.

20
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:44,740
 How are you?

21
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,120
 Boom, boom, boom.

22
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,020
 I'm doing really well.

23
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,440
 Just enjoying the off season.

24
00:01:48,580 --> 00:01:50,240
 I've got a beach vacation coming up.

25
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,920
 So, it's time to start working on the full tan.

26
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,020
 I've got the farmer's tan working really well from my golf playing and walks over the last few weeks.

27
00:01:58,220 --> 00:02:01,740
 But, ready to get out there and get bronze as well as I can.

28
00:02:01,740 --> 00:02:10,700
 Well, before you break out the SPF 50, do you want to ask Brett if he put in a good word to the bosses last night for Roger Hoover?

29
00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:13,780
 Well, I hope so, yeah.

30
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:17,000
 I mean, hey, he's probably going to talk to Kalen more than I have in the last few weeks.

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,960
 That's pretty right.

32
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:18,780
 Absolutely, yeah.

33
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:20,660
 Hopefully, everybody's in a good mood.

34
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,660
 I still haven't met Dr. Moeller, but it sounds like he had a great time with him as well.

35
00:02:24,660 --> 00:02:25,480
 Yes, he did.

36
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,540
 Roger, let's talk a little bit about it.

37
00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:31,860
 Obviously, as Brett alluded to there, it is year three at this point.

38
00:02:32,140 --> 00:02:35,420
 Anywhere in college football, the honeymoon, safe to say, is over now.

39
00:02:35,540 --> 00:02:37,060
 It's time to get down to biz.

40
00:02:37,580 --> 00:02:44,320
 Your thoughts, obviously, we're going to start seeing here within 80 or so days as to how this season goes as far as the early part of it.

41
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:51,980
 But from the other standpoint, your thoughts based on the vibe you're getting in person and as far as just in the building and others,

42
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,460
 where is Ken and the boy as far as his comfort level coming in now?

43
00:02:56,340 --> 00:03:02,720
 I think pretty comfortable, especially in having Ryan Grubb around for a full offseason once again.

44
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:06,000
 You know, Ryan Grubb came in just before spring practice last year.

45
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:14,040
 It's kind of different going into a summer and then a season and then going right into the offseason like he was able to with the same quarterbacks.

46
00:03:14,140 --> 00:03:20,000
 I think there's just a level of comfort knowing that these are two quarterbacks that are battling for the position,

47
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,860
 and Austin Mack, Keelan Russell, who were both handpicked by this coaching staff to be here.

48
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,980
 And that's not a knock against Ty Simpson and Jalen Milrow, who both did wonderful things the first two years of the Keelan DeBoer era.

49
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:41,980
 But it's a little different when you're going with somebody you recruited either out of high school like Keelan Russell or in Austin Mack as well when he first signed with Washington and then came over in transition.

50
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:56,480
 So I think there's just a lot of comfort around this building and also just knowing what they kind of didn't know before coming over to the SEC and learning what life is like on a weekend week out basis and how to be really prepared as well.

51
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:05,140
 To play your best football at the end of the year, Alabama showed some last year, especially that road win and picking up the playoff victory at Oklahoma.

52
00:04:05,140 --> 00:04:13,000
 But that was sandwiched in between two disappointing losses, the Georgia and the SEC championship game, and then obviously the Indiana and the Rose Bowl.

53
00:04:13,220 --> 00:04:26,460
 So I think the coaching staff is really focused on, yes, let's build up our team for the long haul because we hope to be playing a lot of football games very deep into the season, but also be peaking at the right times of the season.

54
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:33,080
 I think Alabama may have peaked a little too early when you look back to that very good October stretch that we had with all those ranked victories.

55
00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:36,920
 It turned out that the ending of the season wasn't what we wanted.

56
00:04:37,140 --> 00:04:48,220
 So I think this group is just smarter about some of the goals they have for this upcoming season and knowing the kind of journey points along the way that's going to prepare this team to play its best football.

57
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,380
 Absolutely.

58
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:56,540
 Oklahoma finishes one of the most remarkable postseason runs I've ever seen in sports.

59
00:04:56,900 --> 00:05:01,680
 Pulling out a can of whoop you-know-what on North Carolina 13-2.

60
00:05:02,540 --> 00:05:05,200
 They had really just a remarkable turnaround.

61
00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:10,200
 Baseball America and D1 Baseball came out with their final polls today.

62
00:05:10,420 --> 00:05:23,080
 Alabama was ranked number six and one, number seven in the other one, and I think everybody knows Alabama had a tough stretch, certainly in Omaha, losing to Oklahoma and Texas.

63
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:31,440
 But it's an incredible season, and we've talked about this throughout the course of the year, how far they've come since 2023.

64
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:41,280
 Recap the season for us and also talk a little bit about your bucket list visit to Omaha, somewhere you've always wanted to go.

65
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,140
 Well, first of all, Omaha is tremendous.

66
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:55,800
 I don't know if there's a better town for an event like that in the way that, you know, all these hotels where all these teams are staying, we're all within walking distance to the ballpark, and everything outside the ballpark was just tremendous.

67
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,300
 I mean, it's truly a baseball paradise.

68
00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:06,080
 If you love baseball, it's such a great trip to go and kind of see a lot of games, see a lot of different teams, all these future major leaguers.

69
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:10,020
 It's very similar to the setup we have here in Hoover for the SEC tournament.

70
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:23,200
 It's just a wonderful display of baseball, and people were so friendly that we ran into it every step of the way, whether it's in some of the restaurants or shops downtown or even being out and about around the ballpark.

71
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:30,180
 You're meeting volunteers that have worked and going back to the Rosenblatt Stadium days that love being part of the College World Series every year.

72
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,120
 So, I mean, all that stuff was just really remarkably well done.

73
00:06:34,340 --> 00:06:46,480
 So, great experience there, except for the ballgames where Alabama fell to the eventual national champion, and that was the tipping point in that first game, and then obviously ran into a good Texas team after that.

74
00:06:46,480 --> 00:07:01,020
 So, you just kind of tip your cap, and if you're going to have some heartache and some tears shed, it might as well be at the best stage in college baseball, and that's Charles Schwab Field, and that's where Alabama can be very proud that its season came to an end.

75
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:06,980
 As Patrick Murphy has said about Oklahoma City with softball, there's no such thing as a bad day at the World Series.

76
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:08,460
 Same thing is said in Omaha.

77
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:15,840
 I mean, everybody felt just such appreciation for the journey it took to get there, especially the great wins we had in Tuscaloosa.

78
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,260
 I don't think you're going to see unless we continue having more of them in the next few years.

79
00:07:20,620 --> 00:07:23,960
 I mean, those are the best moments Alabama baseball has had in over a quarter of a century.

80
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:31,480
 So, I think all of us are very grateful for the journey we went on this year, and can't wait to put in the hard work and try and get back there starting next year.

81
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,460
 You're just a lucky man, Roger.

82
00:07:33,460 --> 00:07:35,320
 You're getting to live your dream, Ed.

83
00:07:36,060 --> 00:07:38,720
 Congratulations to you, Roger Hoover, Crimson Tide Network.

84
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,180
 How about this, if you're on Jeopardy?

85
00:07:41,180 --> 00:07:51,060
 Name one team this past season that lost to three national champions in baseball, in basketball, and in football.

86
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,460
 Roger, do you need more time to answer that question?

87
00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:55,460
 Who is Alabama?

88
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,100
 There you go.

89
00:07:57,140 --> 00:07:57,700
 Good answer.

90
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:58,880
 We had a free trip around the room.

91
00:08:01,460 --> 00:08:01,900
 Yeah.

92
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,900
 I mean, what a year.

93
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,700
 And, again, it's good that Alabama put itself in those positions.

94
00:08:08,060 --> 00:08:10,700
 That's what I think fans need to be happy for.

95
00:08:10,860 --> 00:08:15,340
 You know, this wasn't a team that was upset, you know, very early in the stages of any of these seasons.

96
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:18,040
 You've got to be there in order to play the best.

97
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:22,200
 And, unfortunately, some of those final moments maybe weren't our best throughout the course of the year,

98
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:24,100
 but at least Alabama got there.

99
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,800
 That is more than a lot of programs around the state and around the country, you can say.

100
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,400
 Absolutely, Roger.

101
00:08:30,540 --> 00:08:35,260
 I was going to say we've talked about the success of this athletic program.

102
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:43,540
 We talked about football, women's basketball, that you covered, softball, one game away from the National Championship Series,

103
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:45,500
 baseball, women's soccer.

104
00:08:46,340 --> 00:08:49,300
 It was an incredible year for Alabama athletics.

105
00:08:50,020 --> 00:08:51,120
 It really was.

106
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,900
 And, you know, it goes back to the cliche, you know, the rising tide lifts all boats.

107
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:57,040
 I really feel that across this campus.

108
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:05,160
 And I hope, too, it gives fans some encouragement that the coaches they have are doing the right things in terms of development of their players,

109
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,400
 working in the transfer portal, getting the right people in place.

110
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:15,280
 I think some of the narratives that are out there about how much money you're spending on rosters and things like that, you know,

111
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,420
 it doesn't necessarily guarantee winning.

112
00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:19,540
 It really doesn't.

113
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:25,620
 And I think Alabama athletics across the board in all sports really showed that, specifically in some of our women's sports.

114
00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:32,240
 Definitely the NIL spending for Alabama is not at the level of a lot of competitors in the SEC or around the country,

115
00:09:32,420 --> 00:09:34,040
 but the results are much better.

116
00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:38,720
 And that comes back to coaching and, again, just identifying the right people to get in place.

117
00:09:38,940 --> 00:09:44,140
 So that makes me very encouraged about what our program is doing really across the board.

118
00:09:44,260 --> 00:09:51,520
 It has me really encouraged about football as well, knowing that we've got somebody in Kalen DeBoer who I think is a great evaluator of people,

119
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,540
 more than he is maybe even a tactician on the football field.

120
00:09:54,540 --> 00:09:58,780
 I think he's just got a lot of the right people in place to be successful here.

121
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:01,980
 And we saw that bore itself out throughout the course of the season last year.

122
00:10:02,060 --> 00:10:05,300
 I think you'll continue to see that as long as he is in Tuscaloosa.

123
00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:07,120
 So it has been a really good year.

124
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:13,040
 And I think even though this may not have been a year that ended in national championships like, say, 2012 did

125
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:20,540
 or going back to 2011 as well where you saw success across the board with some national championships mixed in across multiple sports,

126
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:27,480
 there's just a sense of pride that everybody has that Alabama athletics was able to take it the distance in so many of the sports this year.

127
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:33,920
 That was one of the points Kalen DeBoer made last night directly and indirectly is he said,

128
00:10:34,060 --> 00:10:44,120
 we've got our team together now, not just on and off the field, but the coaches, the staff, obviously the players, the administration,

129
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,840
 everyone is aligned with winning national championships.

130
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,860
 And he got a big ovation for that.

131
00:10:51,980 --> 00:11:00,500
 Listen, we cannot tell you how much we enjoy Tuesdays recapping the weekend or the previous week with Alabama sports.

132
00:11:00,980 --> 00:11:02,240
 Nobody does it better.

133
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:07,540
 Well, I tell you this frequently, Alabama is very lucky to have Roger Hoover.

134
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,220
 Bronc has so many of its sports.

135
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,260
 You do such an exceptional job.

136
00:11:12,380 --> 00:11:15,460
 We enjoy the humor and the professionalism.

137
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,900
 Listen, enjoy the beach.

138
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,380
 We're going to give you a break and probably rejoin you again, hopefully in August.

139
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:28,140
 But we cannot thank you enough for coming on every Tuesday, practically sharing your life, your family.

140
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:31,200
 And it has been an absolute pleasure again.

141
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,480
 Well, thank you guys so much.

142
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,300
 I look forward to this interview really each and every week.

143
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,400
 You guys make it fun in addition to some of the serious things we talk about, the wins and the losses.

144
00:11:41,740 --> 00:11:43,300
 But you guys are great friends.

145
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,740
 Really appreciate the partnership we continue to have.

146
00:11:45,740 --> 00:11:52,400
 Appreciate the partnership for your station with the Crimson Tide Sports Network and delivering our product directly to your fans

147
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,520
 and giving them the score as quickly as possible.

148
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,880
 That's all we circle no matter what the sport is.

149
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,700
 So we just appreciate you guys and look forward to catching up with you again in August,

150
00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:03,640
 where I think only we're going to talk about one sport, and that's football.

151
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:04,700
 It's pretty exciting.

152
00:12:04,980 --> 00:12:08,640
 I haven't packed up my preview magazines just yet.

153
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:11,120
 I usually wait until July for that, but I don't know.

154
00:12:11,180 --> 00:12:12,340
 We may have to hit the newsstand.

155
00:12:12,340 --> 00:12:15,340
 We may have to get that out on or Lindy's ready to go.

156
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,880
 Well, in addition to those magazines, pack your cell phone when you go to the beach.

157
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,660
 We might sneak in a call between now and August, so be looking for that.

158
00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:22,340
 Okay, Roger?

159
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,780
 In the meantime, stay safe.

160
00:12:23,780 --> 00:12:24,480
 It's kind of tough down there.

161
00:12:24,620 --> 00:12:25,860
 I mean, I can't hear you guys.

162
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:28,420
 Can you hear us now?

163
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:29,620
 Roger says, no.

00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:31,780

00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:34,680

00:12:38,820 --> 00:12:39,840
 Next, stay with us.

00:12:43,580 --> 00:12:46,560

170
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:50,560
 Yeah, hi.

171
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,980
 I'm here to pick up my suit.

172
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,200
 Ah, yes.

173
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,320
 Here you go.

174
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,160
 There must be a mistake.

175
00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:57,080
 This is too small.

176
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,820
 It shrunk a whole lot.

177
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:00,200
 Uh, look on the bright side.

178
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,020
 Now you have a suit you can give to a child.

179
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,780
 This is a job for sponsored jobs.

180

200
00:13:44,860 --> 00:13:47,200
 When I lost my mom, she was only 46.

201
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,520
 And I lost my dad to cancer.

202
00:13:49,820 --> 00:13:51,460
 It was the worst pain I ever felt.

203
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,780
 It made me think, what will happen with the people I love when my time is out?

204
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,640
 That's why I have life insurance.

00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,880
 You have the chicken, you have the eggs, and then you add these hash browns for a nice little crunch.

288
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:30,960
 The chicken's always nice.

289
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:31,500
 It's crispy.

290
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,160
 It's juicy.

291
00:17:32,420 --> 00:17:34,960

00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,960
 If you're a 50-year-old male, even porky, or with type 2 diabetes, a million dollars of life insurance

298
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,560

 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

307
00:18:21,620 --> 00:18:22,480
 Welcome back in, baby.

308
00:18:22,820 --> 00:18:28,860
 There may be a thing called a dead period, but apparently Alabama and Auburn have not gotten a memo.

309
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:34,180
 And we may not be getting any younger, but Alabama football is, it seems.

310
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,780
 Yeah, Alabama picked up one so far.

311
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,220
 I think they're going to get another one.

312
00:18:38,260 --> 00:18:39,660
 I'll talk about that in a minute.

313
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:47,680
 Tyler Younger, 6'5", 232 edge, a three-star out of Atlanta.

314
00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:54,680
 Harold, he's another one they found in camp, but he committed to Alabama about 30 minutes ago.

315
00:18:54,860 --> 00:18:55,740
 I thought that he would.

316
00:18:55,860 --> 00:19:01,960
 I think he's a very, as far as a developmental player, will be a very good player for Alabama down the road.

317
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:07,040
 Now, I still say this afternoon, Alabama will get a commitment from Stafford Willis.

318
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,880
 6'5", 290, offensive lineman.

319
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,940
 He's a three-star out of A-Rab.

320
00:19:12,980 --> 00:19:18,660
 Alabama kind of jumped on him a little bit late, but I think he will commit to Alabama this afternoon.

321
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,760
 And in the meantime, Auburn has picked up two, once more, two this morning.

322
00:19:23,900 --> 00:19:25,480
 They're now, I believe, at 24.

323
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:33,080
 They actually had a running back from Missouri flip to Missouri, so they lost one, went back to 22.

324
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,980
 Now they're back up to 24.

325
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:41,640
 Deshaun Hull, a four-star wide receiver, committed to Auburn this morning.

326
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,960
 And then we were wondering, we talked to Andrew Bone about this yesterday.

327
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:53,780
 Cedric Simmons out of Southside Selma, very talented receiver, had 2,100 yards in receptions.

328
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:57,620
 Last year was between Alabama and Auburn.

329
00:19:57,780 --> 00:20:01,100
 Well, he chose Auburn, committed to Auburn this morning.

330
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,840
 And then Deshaun Hull out of Prattville.

331
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,640
 He is a four-star receiver.

332
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,220
 So Alabama picking up Tyler Younger, a three-star edge out of Atlanta.

333
00:20:11,780 --> 00:20:17,920
 Auburn picking up two receivers, Deshaun Hull and Cedric Simmons out of Southside Selma.

334
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:23,120
 Brett, obviously, you know, we are in the middle of recruiting fanatic year here.

335
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,860
 It's a strong following for recruiting.

336
00:20:26,860 --> 00:20:30,120
 And over the years, Alabama fans got used to the five and fours.

337
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:36,240
 There seems to be, and there's no way, I mean, the facts are there in front of us, a heavy emphasis on three stars.

338
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:42,860
 I hear the word developmental often, and your thoughts, maybe this will work out, maybe it won't.

339
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,380
 I don't know.

340
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,460
 The only time it's going to tell.

341
00:20:44,540 --> 00:20:45,440
 I know it's a different era.

342
00:20:45,540 --> 00:20:46,740
 We can throw all those things in there.

343
00:20:46,780 --> 00:20:51,960
 But the bottom line is, one thing that doesn't change, and you better win if you want to stay put.

344
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,200
 Your thoughts, where are you in analyzing both classes so far, Alabama and Auburn?

345
00:20:56,620 --> 00:21:01,260
 Well, Harold, again, we've talked about the Alabama situation numerous times.

346
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,480
 The five stars are going to cost a lot of money.

347
00:21:05,820 --> 00:21:10,380
 And again, Alabama is going to get, I think they pick up Osani Sales.

348
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,680
 He's a four-star bordering on a five-star.

349
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:14,640
 He's a receiver.

350
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,060
 He's going to, I believe, commit to Alabama on Saturday.

351
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,320
 Jeremiah Beverly, a three-star edge.

352
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:28,480
 Alabama, Auburn's, a lot of Auburn's, it's a mix of three and four stars.

353
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,740
 Again, the five stars are not going to commit, even though we're in a dead period.

354
00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:36,120
 They're not going to commit until later this summer.

355
00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:39,260
 But a lot of this goes into an NIL budget.

356
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,740
 And again, Kellen DeBoer mentioned this last night in Scottsboro.

357
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,800
 They're going to have a smaller class.

358
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,240
 He's said that a hundred times in the last month.

359
00:21:50,780 --> 00:21:58,460
 And again, it may not be the Nick Saban five-stars, but recruiting has changed so much in the last three years.

360
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,500
 These guys, again, these are three-stars.

361
00:22:01,660 --> 00:22:03,800
 Some of them haven't gone to a lot of camps.

362
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,660
 They haven't gone to the rivals' camp.

363
00:22:06,180 --> 00:22:08,960
 Once again, I still think they're going in the right direction.

364
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:10,900
 They're just going to have a much smaller class.

365
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,420
 And it seems just from afar, we're not inside the room.

366
00:22:14,420 --> 00:22:18,540
 We want to talk about that in a second, what maybe some of the kernels that you gleaned last night.

367
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:25,380
 But it seems like there's a tremendous emphasis on this year's class, I mean, as far as what's there on the roster right now.

368
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,820
 And maybe the class coming back.

369
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,460
 But we know how the recruiting game works.

370
00:22:30,540 --> 00:22:32,120
 All you farmers know this.

371
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,840
 If you're going to have a crop down the road, you better get out and plant some seeds now.

372
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:39,400
 I think right now, Alabama fans say, this is great if it works.

373
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:42,660
 But what's going to happen two years when these classes come back?

374
00:22:42,780 --> 00:22:45,940
 Or are they saying, that was then, this is now.

375
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,520
 If we have needs, we'll just take our money and go out and shop the NIL route.

376
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,660
 Well, that's one of the things that Alabama's going to end up doing.

377
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,060
 And Jake has joined us now.

378
00:22:57,020 --> 00:22:59,840
 But, yeah, Harold, that's something else he mentioned then.

379
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:04,360
 We're going to be using some of this NIL money to keep the players we've got.

380
00:23:04,420 --> 00:23:05,860
 They've only got nine seniors.

381
00:23:06,060 --> 00:23:07,840
 They've got 19 juniors.

382
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:13,060
 And they're going to be using a lot of that money to try to retain as much of this roster as they can.

383
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,460
 Jake Wimbley, host of The Drive on ESPN 105.9 in Central Mississippi.

384
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:19,800
 Jake, welcome in.

385
00:23:19,860 --> 00:23:20,680
 How are you?

386
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,860
 Gentlemen, I'm doing well.

387
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,680
 Sorry, I was fighting a fire there at the office.

388
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:26,060
 I know you guys know all about that.

389
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:27,820
 So apologies for the party-ness.

390
00:23:28,580 --> 00:23:29,600
 No problem.

391
00:23:29,780 --> 00:23:32,600
 I hope you've got enough water to put it out sometime as we come up short.

392
00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:33,500
 But good luck there.

393
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,860
 Jake, we were just talking about recruiting on this side of the state line.

394
00:23:36,860 --> 00:23:39,800
 We know it's just as fervent over on that side of the state line.

395
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,080
 Your thoughts, interesting class.

396
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,800
 Alabama and Auburn, as far as strategy, Jake, they've almost flipped the script.

397
00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:48,200
 Auburn's very aggressive, up to like 24.

398
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,060
 Alabama's like 10, 11.

399
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,640
 So Auburn's class so far is twice the number of commitments.

400
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,640
 There's as far as compared to back in the day, a lot of three-stars.

401
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,220
 Compared to Nick, you would hardly look at a three-star unless it's just to fill out something down the road.

402
00:24:02,220 --> 00:24:11,960
 But what is the strategy as far as Mississippi State and Ole Miss, especially now that Lane is to your south instead of to your north there in the Magnolia State?

403
00:24:13,980 --> 00:24:14,940
 It's a great question.

404
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,420
 We've been talking a lot of recruiting this week as well and really kind of paying attention.

405
00:24:18,580 --> 00:24:22,220
 I'll tell you the first thing that I've noticed about the state of Mississippi over the last two years.

406
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:31,280
 And, look, it's not uncommon for a big-time recruit in the state of Mississippi to end up at Alabama or end up at Auburn or end up at Georgia.

407
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:43,120
 But what we've seen over the last two years is the top ten prospects, and you can go on 247 Sports for reference or you can go on on3.com to get those player rankings specific per state,

408
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,400
 is the top ten in Mississippi is getting eaten alive by out-of-state schools.

409
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,880
 We're talking anywhere from Bama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Oregon.

410
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:57,440
 I mean, teams are just coming in here left and right and pulling kids out of here.

411
00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:03,220
 You know, for Mississippi State, though, and Ole Miss, and what will be interesting to see what Pete Golding does moving forward,

412
00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:07,180
 but I think for Mississippi State, they want to stay more local.

413
00:25:07,380 --> 00:25:09,820
 They've got seven Mississippi kids committed right now.

414
00:25:09,820 --> 00:25:14,280
 They've been expecting a couple more commitments this week after a big camp this past week.

415
00:25:14,740 --> 00:25:19,280
 And then it's really to infiltrate, you know, the rest of the high school class regionally.

416
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,300
 You know, you'll see a few from Louisiana, a few from Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.

417
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,040
 For Ole Miss, and then, of course, there's the transfer portal aspect of it.

418
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:34,380
 For Ole Miss, it's been heavy transfer portal and then pick and choose, you know,

419
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,220
 where you want to be as far as high school talent.

420
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,560
 And Ole Miss has got a couple recruits committed in the state of Mississippi this cycle.

421
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:46,360
 They haven't hit the Mississippi side as heavy as Mississippi State has over the last number of years.

422
00:25:47,060 --> 00:25:49,140
 But it'll be interesting to see what Pete Golding does.

423
00:25:49,140 --> 00:25:50,460
 He dialed that back in.

424
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,380
 If you talk to a lot of coaches around the state of Mississippi in the high school ranks and junior colleges,

425
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,640
 they have nothing but love for Pete Golding because he's from here.

426
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,200
 He played football in Delta State, which is in the Delta.

427
00:26:04,420 --> 00:26:07,060
 So different strategies for sure.

428
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,220
 But I would say Mississippi State is heavier in state, at least they try to be,

429
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,260
 and Ole Miss a little more regional slash transfer portal.

430
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,820
 Jake, let me ask you about two Mississippi players that Alabama, quote,

431
00:26:20,980 --> 00:26:25,320
 maybe they've been leaning to them at one point or are now.

432
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:32,800
 The first one is Antonio Berry, the number five offensive tackle in the country from Tupelo, Mississippi,

433
00:26:33,180 --> 00:26:39,560
 was in Tuscaloosa over the weekend, seemed to be in Alabama lane a month ago,

434
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,560
 and then had flipped back and forth, which a lot of these guys do.

435
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:46,520
 Your thoughts as far as just seeing him?

436
00:26:47,020 --> 00:26:52,840
 And then Mitchell Turner, a four-star defensive lineman at a Louisville, Mississippi.

437
00:26:53,300 --> 00:26:55,160
 Louisville's got a very good team this year.

438
00:26:55,660 --> 00:27:00,500
 Your thoughts as far as seeing them and their potential, Antonio Berry, Mitchell Turner.

439
00:27:02,180 --> 00:27:03,540
 Yeah, first let's go Tupelo.

440
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,720
 Ty Harden, the head football coach at Tupelo High School, is a friend of mine,

441
00:27:06,780 --> 00:27:09,060
 and he has a dog of a program.

442
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,100
 And what I mean by that is they are physical.

443
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,260
 They have been trench mollies over the last several years, won the state championship two years ago,

444
00:27:16,540 --> 00:27:19,720
 behind that big offensive front, and one of them was that young man you speak of.

445
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:26,180
 Last year they lost a classic game to Gulfport in the 7A state championship in Starville at Davis-Wade Stadium.

446
00:27:26,860 --> 00:27:30,500
 That is a very, very good football program in Mississippi and Tupelo.

447
00:27:31,340 --> 00:27:32,500
 They've got a lot of money.

448
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,180
 The community is way behind, extremely behind that program,

449
00:27:37,740 --> 00:27:41,500
 and they'll be, again, a big force in 7A football here in the state of Mississippi.

450
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:42,840
 That's a great football program.

451
00:27:42,940 --> 00:27:43,620
 They're coached well.

452
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,440
 Those kids are really good kids, and if he ends up at Alabama,

453
00:27:47,540 --> 00:27:51,300
 they're going to be getting an offensive lineman that can flat-out play in the Southeastern Conference.

454
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,700
 He'll play wherever he goes.

455
00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:55,580
 Coach Harden runs a heck of a program and a heck of a tight ship.

456
00:27:55,700 --> 00:28:00,160
 When you swing down to Louisville, which is just south of Starkville, about 25 minutes,

457
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,520
 that's another historic program in the state of Mississippi.

458
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,460
 They've won more state championships than anybody in the state.

459
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:08,220
 I believe it's somewhere around 14 or 15.

460
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,680
 They will compete for Class 4A again this year.

461
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,880
 A little smaller school than Tupelo,

462
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:19,960
 but they both live in what we call the Golden Triangle area in the state of Mississippi,

463
00:28:20,220 --> 00:28:24,560
 and that's West Point, Starkville, Columbus, Tupelo.

464
00:28:24,980 --> 00:28:29,160
 They all play each other in the non-conference region, regardless of classification.

465
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:33,160
 So he is another high-end player that will excel at the next level.

466
00:28:33,620 --> 00:28:38,120
 Most of those young men that come out of Louisville, West Point, Starkville High School,

467
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:40,040
 Tupelo, Knoxville County,

468
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,160
 they go on to be big-time college players wherever they go.

469
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,540
 Jake Wimble in the house with us.

470
00:28:45,540 --> 00:28:48,600
 So is for the drive on ESPN 105.9 in central Mississippi.

471
00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:50,780
 Jake, what's the ticket going forward for that?

472
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,280
 I think it's a night game when LSU comes to Oxford.

473
00:28:54,780 --> 00:28:57,300
 You're almost in a crossfire where you are.

474
00:28:57,460 --> 00:28:59,680
 You're now LSU to your south, Oxford to the north.

475
00:29:00,540 --> 00:29:05,300
 Has the anticipation, has it already started, or has it been started for a while?

476
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:11,260
 It's been started for a while, and I've joked on my show and said this, but I believe this, too, to be true,

477
00:29:11,380 --> 00:29:16,040
 is that for the first time maybe ever in the history of Mississippi college football,

478
00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:19,980
 Ole Miss fans are more dialed in on LSU than they are Mississippi State.

479
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:25,760
 And I think if you ask them which game, if you had to only win one, would it be?

480
00:29:25,820 --> 00:29:26,880
 And I think it'd be LSU.

481
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,360
 That game can't get here quick enough for Ole Miss fans.

482
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,540
 Now, obviously, it's going to be an unbelievable atmosphere.

483
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,900
 We'll see if Lane gets peppered with anything out of the fans.

484
00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:37,440
 I hope he doesn't.

485
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:37,800
 Mustard.

486
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,040
 Mustard, probably, for sure.

487
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,580
 But I think Ole Miss, and look, I think for Pete Golding, I can't speak for him personally,

488
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:51,220
 but there's been some jabs online over the offseason between those two, some lighthearted jabs.

489
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,160
 But I think Pete Golding, for him, he wants to prove, and this is a great chance for him to do it,

490
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,240
 even though they made the college football playoff run, that, hey, look, you did a great job here,

491
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:05,220
 but this program is bigger than you, we are bigger than you, and we're going to show it on September 19th.

492
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:06,220
 Absolutely.

493
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,700
 Listen, we'll let you get back to the fire truck.

494
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,000
 We can certainly relate to issues there.

495
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:19,220
 Again, congratulations to Ole Miss and Mississippi State, finishing eighth and ninth in baseball America.

496
00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:25,020
 Brian O'Connor showed you Mississippi State played Georgia to the hilt in Athens.

497
00:30:25,220 --> 00:30:31,560
 Quite frankly, Mississippi State would have beat anybody in the country, and then Ole Miss beat Auburn in the Super Regional,

498
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,220
 two incredible coaches for Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

499
00:30:36,660 --> 00:30:43,960
 Listen, thank you again for taking a few minutes out to talk with us about Mississippi recruiting and Mississippi sports.

500
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,220
 Nobody does a better job in the state of Mississippi than Jake Wimberly.

501
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,800
 Where can we get on line and listen to the show?

502
00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:56,040
 Guys, always kind and always a pleasure to visit with you, and again, apologies on the tardiness.

503
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,240
 We'll make that up to you.

504
00:30:57,300 --> 00:30:59,320
 Just go on X at Jake Wim.

505
00:30:59,940 --> 00:31:04,440
 I'll be out today taking a little break this week with my family, but we'll be back hard at it next week.

510

 Make some great memories.

511
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,620
 In the meantime, stay safe out there, Jake.

512
00:31:16,620 --> 00:31:17,960
 And again, thanks for your time today.

513
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,000
 Thanks, guys.

514
00:31:20,060 --> 00:31:20,560
 Have a great day.

515
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,060
 Appreciate you.

516
00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:25,520
 Jake Wimberly, host of The Drive, and ESPN 105.9 in Central Mississippi.

517
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:28,680
 He's down there probably in Southern Nevada, or is he?

518
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,700
 Bruce Marshall next.

519
00:31:29,780 --> 00:31:30,240
 Stay with us.

520
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:39,580

 followed by injections under the skin every four or eight weeks.

530
00:32:25,260 --> 00:32:29,280

 and adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.

533
00:32:38,340 --> 00:32:43,000
 Serious allergic reactions, increased risk of infections, or lower ability to fight them,

534
00:32:43,180 --> 00:32:44,520
 and liver problems may occur.

535
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,720
 Before treatment, get checked for infections and tuberculosis.

536
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:51,940

 When I lost my mom, she was only 46, and I lost my dad to cancer.

560
00:34:10,420 --> 00:34:12,060
 It was the worst pain I ever felt.

561
00:34:12,420 --> 00:34:16,360
 It made me think, what will happen with the people I love when my time is up?

562
00:34:16,620 --> 00:34:18,240

 Hey, Green Gobbler here.

611
00:36:29,020 --> 00:36:32,880
 So you've got a clogged drain in your bathroom, water in the sinks, overstaying its welcome?

612
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,360
 You're spitting today's toothpaste on top of yesterday's toothpaste.

613
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:37,940
 You hope that it go away.

614
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,500
 Yeah, clogs don't just go away.

615
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:41,980

00:37:32,460 --> 00:37:36,220
 Visiting the Grand Babies last week and watching the World Cup over there,

641
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,320
 which is kind of fun.

642
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:38,980
 Back in Las Vegas.

643
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,400
 Watching soccer every minute of the day.

644
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:42,080
 I'm loving it.

645
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:44,520
 Swiss Miss.

646
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,580
 You are a lucky man.

647
00:37:45,580 --> 00:37:48,440
 I still remember, Bruce, an interview.

648
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:49,840
 I'm sure you have forgotten.

649
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,540
 But Brent and I, we have concluded that you are the only person who has ever done an interview

650
00:37:54,540 --> 00:37:57,680
 with us in a tunnel there in Switzerland.

651
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,460
 You are a traveling man, my friend.

652
00:38:01,180 --> 00:38:02,260
 I remember that.

653
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,160
 I remember that very well.

654
00:38:03,220 --> 00:38:03,640
 On a train.

655
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:04,660
 Absolutely.

656
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,340
 Have cell phone, we'll travel.

657
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:07,820
 There you go.

658
00:38:08,140 --> 00:38:10,400
 Well, I hope you have some great memories there with your family.

659
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:14,540
 Bruce, we'll talk about football, European style, here in a second.

660
00:38:14,540 --> 00:38:21,380
 But Brent and I have decided that next year in college baseball, we're just going to bet on an SEC team.

661
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,260
 Is that a safe bet?

662
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,220
 Yeah, I think so.

663
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,380
 You have five in the World Series there, and Oklahoma ends up pulling it out.

664
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,860
 It looks like North Carolina, you know, we're going to push that thing to the final.

665
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,240
 And Oklahoma might not have been the SEC team I would have picked beforehand.

666
00:38:36,340 --> 00:38:37,560
 I think I probably would have picked Georgia.

667
00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:39,800
 I think I did pick Georgia to win.

668
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,860
 But, I mean, you get five of eight in the final, in Omaha, you get a pretty good chance.

669
00:38:45,260 --> 00:38:47,200
 So, how about those Sooners?

670
00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:47,920
 Yeah.

671
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,740
 They, you know, they bring the title home to Norman.

672
00:38:52,020 --> 00:38:52,780
 Good for them.

673
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,480
 And North Carolina gave it a pretty good run there.

674
00:38:55,620 --> 00:38:57,100
 But that's kind of cool.

675
00:38:57,380 --> 00:39:03,380
 You get all the way to a final game of the year in Omaha, and that's the best of three and get to the final.

676
00:39:03,620 --> 00:39:05,240
 We're almost in July, though.

677
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,360
 I just, it's really funny how it's longer the college baseball season.

678
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,820
 Last, I think school, if these guys go to school anymore, probably let out almost two months ago in both places.

679
00:39:15,140 --> 00:39:17,380
 So, anyway, good for the Sooners.

680
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,640
 Let me ask you, before we get into Dusty May, and I know you've got some comments about that.

681
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:29,560
 The NBA draft is tonight, and there are six teams predicted, not six teams,

682
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,040
 there are six players predicted to go in the first round.

683
00:39:33,660 --> 00:39:38,560
 From the SEC, Darius Acuff of Arkansas, number six, Nate Amant.

684
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:44,520
 Tennessee, number 10, LeBaron Phylon from Alabama, 13,

685
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,600
 Acquainance from Kentucky at some point in the 20s.

686
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:53,940
 Swan from Texas, 26, and Malik Thomas of Arkansas.

687
00:39:55,020 --> 00:40:01,000
 Looking at the first round, do you believe, do you think about six from the SEC will go?

688
00:40:01,820 --> 00:40:03,700
 I think that sounds about right, Brett.

689
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:08,560
 The overriding thing that I'm looking at in the draft, though, you think about the NBA season,

690
00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:14,080
 all these teams that were tanking, and there's no other way to put it, for this supposed bountiful draft.

691
00:40:14,220 --> 00:40:17,740
 I'm looking at the guys in the first round here, and there are some good players,

692
00:40:17,860 --> 00:40:24,520
 but I don't see any complete difference makers in here, guys that were worth sabotaging your whole season for.

693
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:28,660
 Let's face it, I mean, if DeBonza is the first pick out of BYU, and he's good.

694
00:40:30,620 --> 00:40:33,900
 His team didn't even finish above 500 in the Big 12 last year.

695
00:40:33,940 --> 00:40:36,020
 They got knocked out of the dance in the first round.

696
00:40:36,580 --> 00:40:41,260
 If it's Peterson, who is from Kansas, is the consensus for the second pick.

697
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,740
 Well, there are, I mean, Kansas got what, in the second round?

698
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:44,700
 They got off to St. Johnson.

699
00:40:45,340 --> 00:40:51,420
 There were a lot of people in the Big 12 who thought Kansas played better without Peterson this year.

700
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:55,560
 So, and I'm looking at some of the others who were, you know, top five, six picks.

701
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,700
 Are these guys worth sabotaging your whole season for?

702
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,200
 I don't get it in the NBA.

703
00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:01,820
 Some of these guys might be fine.

704
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,900
 I hope they do well, and we'll be watching the draft with interest.

705
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:06,580
 We've already got some trades leading up to it.

706
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,440
 But that's the overriding thing for me is that, you know, you're tanking, you're wrecking your seasons to try to draft this bunch,

707
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:15,780
 and there's no sure things anywhere here.

708
00:41:15,860 --> 00:41:16,540
 There's not a LeBron.

709
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:17,460
 There's not a Giannis.

710
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,640
 There's not someone like that.

711
00:41:20,180 --> 00:41:21,040
 At least I don't think so.

712
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,720
 Maybe DeBonza turns into a great player.

713
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:23,800
 It possibly does.

714
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:28,440
 But I think it's just, you know, to wreck your season.

715
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,380
 So many teams doing it to position yourself in the draft.

716
00:41:32,540 --> 00:41:34,560
 I mean, you could help yourself more in free agency.

717
00:41:34,900 --> 00:41:35,960
 I think from the draft.

718
00:41:36,540 --> 00:41:37,160
 So we'll see.

719
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:45,380
 Bruce Marshall going up with us again amongst other places, Vegas Insider, which leads us to what Brett alluded to there, Dusty Mays.

720
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,840
 The timing of it all and some of the backstories that we're hearing, Bruce.

721
00:41:49,980 --> 00:41:52,700
 One, maybe the NCAA is not done with Michigan.

722
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,460
 I don't know how much teeth that's got.

723
00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:00,740
 The other one is, Dusty Mays says, I don't like the direction of college sports in general, including basketball.

724
00:42:00,740 --> 00:42:05,380
 So I'm going to go ahead and cash out my chips now and head to the NBA and have to mess with that headache.

725
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:11,640
 Bruce, your thoughts about the news of the move by Dusty Mays and some of the backstories surrounding it?

726
00:42:12,420 --> 00:42:17,580
 Yeah, I hadn't even been thinking about that until I heard the news yesterday.

727
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:20,700
 And actually, I didn't hear about it until Brett told me about it.

728
00:42:21,140 --> 00:42:24,440
 It was sort of off the radar that May would do that, but I guess I should have been paying attention.

729
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,340
 It's been a while since the NBA season ended, though.

730
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:32,380
 And the Mavs started their search, so the timing surprised me a bit.

731
00:42:32,900 --> 00:42:39,700
 I think Michigan, if they're going to promote Boynton, they really had no other choice right now.

732
00:42:40,260 --> 00:42:43,000
 And I think maybe Boynton deserves a shot.

733
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,280
 I mean, he's been on Dusty's staff.

734
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,760
 He didn't do that at Oklahoma State, although he ended up getting pushed out of there.

735
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,860
 But there were some other problems that were not his doing.

736
00:42:51,180 --> 00:43:02,260
 I think this is sort of a deal – I don't know the specifics of this, but it almost sounds like what Mississippi State did after, you know, Mike Leach's unfortunate passing.

737
00:43:02,260 --> 00:43:07,020
 And they promoted Zach Arnett with sort of a one-year, you know, trial basis.

738
00:43:07,300 --> 00:43:12,780
 You know, they're the coach for 2023, and we'll extend you after that.

739
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:13,860
 We're going to give you one year here.

740
00:43:13,900 --> 00:43:15,760
 So it seems sort of like that's a new point.

741
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:20,820
 I don't think they had a choice to hold together this recruiting class that they had coming in.

742
00:43:21,180 --> 00:43:25,180
 And keep a couple of those guys from jumping in the portal, which they'll have a chance to do now.

743
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,640
 Because when a coach leaves, they open up the portal for 15 days.

744
00:43:28,860 --> 00:43:32,140
 So I think that's the only choice that they had was Boynton.

745
00:43:32,220 --> 00:43:35,500
 And if it doesn't work, you know, they'll go somewhere else next year.

746
00:43:35,620 --> 00:43:37,020
 I think that's the way it's shaping up.

747
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,260
 As for Dusty May, I don't blame him at all.

748
00:43:39,340 --> 00:43:42,160
 I don't blame anybody for leaving the college game, for the pro game now.

749
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:43,880
 That didn't used to be the case.

750
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,380
 Now it certainly is.

751
00:43:45,380 --> 00:43:50,300
 It's a lot more – if the NBA could be a more stable life, and this goes for the NFL too,

752
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,360
 as opposed to college basketball and football, I'm all for doing it.

753
00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:54,900
 So I think he should catch his chips in.

754
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,600
 Dallas, I would caution him, though.

755
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:59,840
 They're moving the arena.

756
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:01,520
 They're going to build a new arena north of town.

757
00:44:01,780 --> 00:44:04,300
 Dallas proper ain't that nice anymore.

758
00:44:04,580 --> 00:44:05,560
 Dallas-Fort Worth is fine.

759
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,080
 There's a lot of nice suburbs around there and all those places north.

760
00:44:08,740 --> 00:44:12,200
 So they're going to build this new arena up there by that Galleria north.

761
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:13,300
 Really nice area.

762
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,040
 We were looking to move there several years ago.

763
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,900
 And I remember that mall they have in the Galleria.

764
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:21,780
 It's got ice rink.

765
00:44:21,860 --> 00:44:23,360
 It is the nicest mall in the world.

766
00:44:23,700 --> 00:44:26,120
 And I let my wife loose in there for a couple hours.

767
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:26,600
 Oh, no.

768
00:44:26,700 --> 00:44:28,660
 And she bought so much stuff.

769
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,580
 She said, I can't believe all the stores.

770
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,940
 And I thought to myself, I can't move here.

771
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,700
 She'll be at that Galleria every day.

772
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,080
 So Dusty's got a wife.

773
00:44:40,660 --> 00:44:43,800
 Keep her away from that mall because she'll just start buying up.

774
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,500
 She'll have enough money to buy it, I'm sure.

775
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:46,600
 But still, I'd be cautious.

776
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,460
 But I don't blame him at all.

777
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,240
 And, by the way, the Mavericks are moving north.

778
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:52,200
 And so are the Stars.

779
00:44:52,900 --> 00:44:53,980
 They're going a little further north.

780
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,380
 But I think Frisco, Plano, I think they're going to go.

781
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:57,960
 And they've got their minor league place in Frisco.

782
00:44:58,100 --> 00:45:00,480
 So that's where everything's kind of migrating north from Dallas.

783
00:45:01,140 --> 00:45:05,440
 And I think once they're up there, that is a perfect spot to coach and play.

784
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:06,620
 No state income tax.

785
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,720
 My God, of course I'd do it if I were Dustin May.

786
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:11,960
 And he's got Cooper Flag to coach for the next several years.

787
00:45:12,140 --> 00:45:12,640
 So good for him.

788
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:20,420
 I read an article from Matt Norlander of CBS that interviewed him two or three months ago.

789
00:45:20,580 --> 00:45:24,820
 And he said, it's just a matter of time before I go to the NBA.

790
00:45:25,060 --> 00:45:29,540
 He said, look, every time we get a commitment, that doesn't mean he's coming.

791
00:45:29,940 --> 00:45:31,880
 We've still got to deal with the agents.

792
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:34,120
 And he said that two or three times.

793
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,860
 He said, I love the players.

794
00:45:36,060 --> 00:45:41,480
 And I know the general manager works certainly with the contracts.

795
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,380
 But he said, I cannot stand to work with agents.

796
00:45:45,740 --> 00:45:48,380
 I don't blame him a bit for saying that.

797
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:53,580
 And I think college basketball, and this is the other thing.

798
00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:57,520
 And we've talked about this for the government and the Save College Sports Act.

799
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,620
 I'm not in favor of that, the government jumping in and getting involved with this stuff.

800
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:04,580
 But I do admit, what's going on in college sports now?

801
00:46:04,620 --> 00:46:09,320
 They've got to find some way to streamline this and make it not so unappealing the way it is.

802
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:12,860
 College sports is a lot worse off losing guys like Dusty May.

803
00:46:13,020 --> 00:46:22,820
 He seemed like he was the perfect sort of fit for this era in a guy who could recruit and he could build a roster and get them to win really quick.

804
00:46:23,300 --> 00:46:24,500
 He seemed like the perfect guy.

805
00:46:24,580 --> 00:46:27,140
 Now he's gone to the NBA.

806
00:46:28,580 --> 00:46:33,920
 It's insane to want to coach in college sports if you have a choice now.

807
00:46:34,860 --> 00:46:35,880
 Or big time.

808
00:46:35,980 --> 00:46:41,260
 If you're at a smaller, if you just like to coach and you want to be at a lower level job, that's fine.

809
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,520
 And you don't have to worry as much as some of these big time coaches do.

810
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,600
 But I totally agree with Dusty May.

811
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:58,480
 And in a similar way, some of these other guys who have left in recent years, who have retired, Tony Bennett, Jay Wright, some football coaches.

812
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:00,820
 I mean, I guess Coach K was due to retire anyway.

813
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,380
 But they've sort of indicated the same thing.

814
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,320
 I mean, why mess with this rat race if you've got another choice in your life, with your career?

815
00:47:07,460 --> 00:47:07,840
 Do it.

816
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,000
 And I don't blame Dusty May at one bit.

817
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:18,360
 So, Bruce, I assume we're of a generation where we still relish the old preseason magazines in college football.

818
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,460
 Our friend Lindy's, he's come out with his.

819
00:47:20,660 --> 00:47:21,880
 He's from the state of Alabama.

820
00:47:22,140 --> 00:47:25,260
 So a lot of folks said, yeah, the reason you had Alabama up there is because of the roots.

821
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:31,260
 His magazine has Alabama and a place where Nick Saban would be at the cardiac arrest center right now.

822
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:32,540
 Number 11 in the country.

823
00:47:33,260 --> 00:47:35,680
 Number 5 in the SEC.

824
00:47:37,140 --> 00:47:42,400
 Bruce, your take objectively about Alabama right now in the preseason magazines.

825
00:47:43,020 --> 00:47:45,140
 No, I think that's about right.

826
00:47:45,420 --> 00:47:54,760
 Although, you know, if you look at the SEC, you know, it's just so deep at the top.

827
00:47:54,860 --> 00:47:59,300
 But I think you could throw all those, the teams at the top in a half there.

828
00:48:00,580 --> 00:48:12,180
 Texas, I mean, at the same time last year, at this point, last June 23rd, we were all talking about Arch Manning, the Heisman Trophy favorite and all.

829
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,460
 And now he's like, you know, probably down the list he's still there.

830
00:48:15,540 --> 00:48:16,680
 But is Texas really there?

831
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,920
 Is Georgia really there?

832
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,920
 The quarterback play there hasn't been, you know, that great.

833
00:48:23,100 --> 00:48:26,440
 Ole Miss, I know they kept Chambliss around, but here we go with Pete Golding.

834
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,040
 Is he going to be able to do what Lane did?

835
00:48:29,260 --> 00:48:33,920
 You know, what's going to happen here with, without, is it going to be Keelan Russell?

836
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:36,800
 Is he going to be coming in and doing some things with some questions?

837
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:45,960
 But I don't, I think you can throw the top six or seven SECs in a hat and just pick them out.

838
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,120
 Lindy, I see, has got Oklahoma at seven, but they still got material back.

839
00:48:50,180 --> 00:48:52,920
 I'm surprised he's not getting a little bit more eyes and mention.

840
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,380
 I think he might if he can stay healthy.

841
00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:07,540
 My personal one I'm a little worried about is LSU with Lane and, you know, what he might be able to do, you know, with LSU,

842
00:49:08,340 --> 00:49:11,160
 especially since he's got the transfer Sam Leavitt at quarterback.

843
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,100
 We've talked about him before at Arizona State.

844
00:49:13,340 --> 00:49:16,020
 My goodness, I think, you know, put Lane with him.

845
00:49:16,700 --> 00:49:20,080
 LSU is sort of one I might put LSU actually on top.

846
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,980
 But it's top seven, just throw him in a hat and see what happens.

847
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:30,340
 And I'm not even talking about what Florida might do with Summerall or what Alex Golesh might do with Auburn.

848
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:31,580
 I think both will be better.

849
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:39,260
 And Auburn, I think, is really an interesting one, especially with the quarterback, Byron Brown, following Golesh from Tampa.

850
00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:45,000
 I mean, that's been a – that was a problem back – Hugh Freeze never got the quarterback thing right.

851
00:49:45,660 --> 00:49:47,300
 And Harsin certainly didn't either.

852
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,440
 So I'm interested in Auburn, too.

853
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:56,180
 Yeah, so much of it has to do with – if you've got an experienced quarterback and experienced offensive line coming back,

854
00:49:56,220 --> 00:49:58,740
 you can be pretty high in the rankings.

855
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,320
 And Alabama's got question marks on both.

856
00:50:01,460 --> 00:50:07,960
 One thing that's not a question, though, is Bruce Marshall is still the gold standard.

857
00:50:08,580 --> 00:50:11,580
 Still got some soccer going on, as you mentioned a little bit earlier.

858
00:50:11,700 --> 00:50:13,820
 A lot of the college sports now wrapping up.

859
00:50:13,940 --> 00:50:16,440
 Two months to go before the season begins again.

860
00:50:17,020 --> 00:50:22,600
 Where can we get on line and get the absolute latest and best from the gold standard?

861
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:24,640
 Yeah, we got World Cup.

862
00:50:24,700 --> 00:50:28,500
 By the way, 3-0 Portugal halftime over the Uzbeks.

863
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,460
 And Cristiano Ronaldo has scored twice in the first half.

864
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:33,280
 So there you go.

865
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,240
 I was one of his – I was one of his critics.

866
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:36,280
 So there you go.

867
00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:38,720
 Anyway, World Cup is going really good.

868
00:50:38,780 --> 00:50:39,340
 We got picks.

869
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:40,200
 It's good fun.

870
00:50:40,340 --> 00:50:41,180
 Really good fun.

871
00:50:41,260 --> 00:50:43,280
 Watch that Columbia-Congo game.

872
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:44,280
 The late one in the night.

873
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:45,560
 I think that's going to actually be good.

874
00:50:46,180 --> 00:50:47,140
 I got a pick on that one.

875
00:50:47,180 --> 00:50:48,080
 England's playing later today.

876
00:50:48,540 --> 00:50:49,260
 World Cup picks.

877
00:50:49,340 --> 00:50:50,980
 11-3 run right now.

878
00:50:51,020 --> 00:50:51,600
 Doing really good.

 Bruce, welcome back.

887
00:51:09,820 --> 00:51:12,700
 Was it nine time zones, I guess, for your body clock?

888
00:51:12,820 --> 00:51:15,300
 Hopefully, we'll adjust to Swiss time here before too long.

889
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,540

00:53:16,660 --> 00:53:19,380
 Well, it's the feeling you feel when you have relief from back pain.

 We all do.

937

 That's why Allstate just lowered the price of car insurance.

938
00:53:48,700 --> 00:53:50,420
 Not, but wait, there's a catch.

939
00:53:50,780 --> 00:53:51,040
 Lower.

940
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:52,240
 Actually lower.

941
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,640
 So if you're shopping around, or just want to see how much you could save,

973
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:15,980
 before the holidays.

974
00:55:16,220 --> 00:55:20,500
 Your doctor's office is closed, and urgent care means long waits and big bills.

975
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,340
 That's why I keep a medical emergency kit at home.

976
00:55:23,580 --> 00:55:25,860

994
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,380
 Cristiano Ronaldo had to hear for almost a week about his subpar,

995
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,120
 performance in Portugal's opening draw with D.R. Kongo.

996
00:56:31,220 --> 00:56:35,000
 In game number two, it took all of six minutes to flip the script.

997
00:56:35,180 --> 00:56:37,620
 A crossing pass that Ronaldo one-timed in.

998
00:56:37,720 --> 00:56:40,320
 Eleven minutes later, a free kick from just outside the goal area.

999
00:56:40,980 --> 00:56:44,560
 Nuno Mendes bended it around the Uzbekistan wall of defenders.

1000
00:56:44,700 --> 00:56:49,280
 And in the 39th minute, Ronaldo, again, this time, bottom left corner.

1001
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,620
 He had a chance for a first-half hat-trick right at the end.

1002
00:56:51,620 --> 00:56:57,400
 But he now has 10 career World Cup goals, 145 in all, while playing for Portugal.

1003
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:01,500
 And when combining club and country, he's at 975.

1004
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,900
 Portugal up 3-0 on Uzbekistan at halftime.

1005
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,320
 England and Ghana both coming off wins are next.

1006
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,240
 Croatia and Panama tonight coming off losses, then Colombia and Congo.

1007
00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:23,220

 Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

1023
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:26,060
 Is it ever too early to get to those SEC football power rankings?

1024
00:58:26,060 --> 00:58:26,380
 Never.

1025
00:58:26,820 --> 00:58:27,060
 Never.

1026
00:58:27,580 --> 00:58:29,480
 This is from on3.com.

1027
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:36,240
 Fodding Lane, Kiffin, Brett Beaird are at number six ahead of the Alabama Crimson Tide.

1028
00:58:36,340 --> 00:58:38,640
 They're basically in the middle of the pack.

1029
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,840
 Can you imagine a few years back saying Alabama is in the middle of the pack right now?

1030
00:58:43,020 --> 00:58:44,940
 Well, I've said this for months.

1031
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:51,180
 The reason Alabama, Harold, is anywhere from 10 to 15, they don't have a veteran quarterback.

1032
00:58:51,180 --> 00:59:01,400
 If Ty Simpson would have come back, Alabama would have probably been third in the SEC and eight or ninth in the majority of the national polls.

1033
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:07,000
 A lot of these polls, the guys that put them together, can't get past an experienced quarterback.

1034
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:08,520
 I think that's why they're there.

1035
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,220
 Auburn's 13, you agree with that.

1036
00:59:10,580 --> 00:59:12,660
 Harold, I think they will have a good year.

1037
00:59:12,740 --> 00:59:14,080
 They're going to have a winning season.

1038
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,680
 Again, they already know their identity, Harold.

1039
00:59:16,780 --> 00:59:21,300
 They're going to run the frigging ball, as Alex Golding said in the preseason.

1040
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,200
 What kind of ball are they going to run, Brett?

1041
00:59:23,260 --> 00:59:24,940
 Yeah, frigging ball.

1042

 Hour 2 of the Boomo Bugg Show.

 I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird.

1060
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,360
 Thank you so much for giving us a free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

1061
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,740
 Brett Beaird, what do you say we kick off this hour by saying hello?

1062
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:46,520
 It's got to be Mick Jagger's favorite guy, the original Rolling Stone.

1063
01:00:46,620 --> 01:00:47,140
 Would you agree?

1064
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:48,720
 Splendid ideal.

1065
01:00:49,140 --> 01:00:52,220
 Tom Lemming has got the splendid latest when it comes to recruiting.

1066
01:00:52,340 --> 01:00:57,800
 He is the guru, editor of Max Preps, part of the CBSSports.com family football report,

1067
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,700
 and CSTV's college football recruiting analyst.

1068
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:03,740
 Tom Lemming, welcome in.

1069
01:01:03,860 --> 01:01:06,100
 How are you, and where are you today?

1070
01:01:07,100 --> 01:01:11,340
 I'm actually in Chicago now, but I have been bouncing around the last few days in Wisconsin

1071
01:01:11,340 --> 01:01:16,140
 and St. Louis, Missouri, and now I'm trying to get the magazine written and get it mailed

1072
01:01:16,140 --> 01:01:17,040
 out next month.

1073
01:01:17,340 --> 01:01:19,800
 So it's my only time I stay home.

1074
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,840
 I'll stay home for almost the entire month of June and the month of July to get the underclass

1075
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:24,520
 magazine out.

1076
01:01:24,620 --> 01:01:27,100
 And then I'm back on the road in late August.

1077
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:31,420
 Well, we're flattered that you take time out of that precious schedule to join us.

1078
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:35,500
 Tom, before we get into some of these specifics of what we found out so far, more important

1079
01:01:35,500 --> 01:01:40,680
 than what you found out, can we go from up about 10,000 feet and get a snapshot from above

1080
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:48,600
 at National College Football Strategy Now, forget about 20 years ago, 10 years ago, even five

1081
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:54,400
 years ago, just a couple of years ago, and how these coaches and general managers, everything

1082
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:58,220
 we'd have that part of the conversation, are putting together these classes now.

1083
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:00,320
 Absolutely.

1084
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:06,240
 You know, I did a newspaper article yesterday, talked to a newspaper guy about what's going

1085
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:06,440
 on.

1086
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:11,480
 What I've noticed, because I go see everybody in person and talk to them, now agents show

1087
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:15,960
 up with the players sometimes, not all of them, when I'm there, and it's kind of strange.

1088
01:02:16,060 --> 01:02:17,780
 I never saw that until the last couple of years.

1089
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:24,000
 And then I'll ask questions, sort of like I saw that they interviewed the new mayor of Seattle,

1090
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,960
 the socialist mayor, and as soon as they ask a tough question, someone butts in and says,

1091
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:29,160
 no, we're not answering that.

1092
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,620
 And I get that a little bit sometimes with the agents.

1093
01:02:33,140 --> 01:02:36,600
 Particularly, the question everybody wants to answer is, what are your favorite schools,

1094
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,300
 what schools you're looking at, and what are you asking for?

1095
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:43,360
 Now, it used to be, you know, an education, quickest way to the NFL, great facilities.

1096
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,200
 The number one question now is, how much am I going to get?

1097
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:50,700
 And that's coming from the agents, and I can't blame a lot of the ballplayers are from tough

1098
01:02:50,700 --> 01:02:51,960
 situations economically.

1099
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,860
 And the agents, though, are the ones you always got to keep an eye on, because they're the

1100
01:02:55,860 --> 01:02:56,700
 ones making the deals.

1101
01:02:56,860 --> 01:03:01,400
 It looks like, say, you know, where you're at, Alabama's going to be getting this guy.

1102
01:03:01,740 --> 01:03:05,440
 And all the people, the internet people say, we're going to get him, we're this and that.

1103
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,960
 But then the agent also reads it, and he says, okay, it looks like he's going to Alabama.

1104
01:03:09,140 --> 01:03:11,240
 What else can you give us, meaning the next school?

1105
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:11,420
 Thank you.

1106
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,380
 And that's why you see a lot of the ballplayers bouncing from one school to the other, and

1107
01:03:15,380 --> 01:03:19,000
 no one knows for sure where they're going to go, even after they commit.

1108
01:03:19,260 --> 01:03:24,460
 A lot of times when they commit, the agents now have a set school that the other schools

1109
01:03:24,460 --> 01:03:26,820
 can bid on and see if they come up a little bit higher.

1110
01:03:28,260 --> 01:03:33,120
 Let me ask you about two players in particular, and we talked about one earlier today.

1111
01:03:33,620 --> 01:03:38,540
 The first one is Antonio Berry, considered to be a top five offensive tackle.

1112
01:03:39,140 --> 01:03:45,620
 From a very good program in Tupelo, Mississippi, visited Alabama again over the weekend.

1113
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:51,140
 And again, reports, I'm not going to ask you where you think he's going to go, but I've

1114
01:03:51,140 --> 01:03:55,700
 heard a lot of good things as far as his talent coming out of a tremendous program.

1115
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,860
 And one you visit quite often is Mark Freeman at Thompson.

1116
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:07,840
 He's got another freak, Junior James 2 Opo, and I know he's leaning a little bit toward

1117
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:14,220
 Texas, came to Alabama over the weekend, seemed to have a very good trip, and now Alabama seems

1118
01:04:14,220 --> 01:04:15,460
 to have risen in there.

1119
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,560
 Two of the more talented young men in the South, Tom.

1120
01:04:19,580 --> 01:04:20,020
 Absolutely.

1121
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:24,960
 And Antonio Berry, the coach Harden over at Tupelo has always been really good with me.

1122
01:04:25,060 --> 01:04:32,620
 I usually have the players meet in Starkville for the state of Mississippi, and he really praised

1123
01:04:32,620 --> 01:04:32,780
 him.

1124
01:04:32,900 --> 01:04:34,280
 You know, Antonio's a good student.

1125
01:04:34,660 --> 01:04:36,420
 He seems to do everything well.

1126
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,760
 He's about 278 pounds right now when I talked to him last.

1127
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,380
 He's not really into the weight room yet.

1128
01:04:43,420 --> 01:04:47,480
 He's just an athlete, kind of a freak of an athlete who, once he does get into the weight

1129
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,120
 room, he gets over 300 pounds.

1130
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:53,840
 Plus, he also plays left tackle for Tupelo, but he can play guard or center.

1131
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:54,580
 He's that versatile.

1132
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,180
 So I think he's the type of ball player that people are really going to like.

1133
01:04:58,460 --> 01:05:05,900
 And I'm looking at, when I saw his questionnaire, he grew up as a Texas Longhorn fan, but now

1134
01:05:05,900 --> 01:05:09,300
 I think, you know, you're looking more at Alabama, Ole Miss, you know, the normal school

1135
01:05:09,300 --> 01:05:11,580
 that comes when you're living in Tupelo.

1136
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:18,720
 So I do think that he's a big-time ball player, and I just like the way that he is.

1137
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:24,700
 His athletic ability, to me, makes him a standout and makes him a ball player that you've got

1138
01:05:24,700 --> 01:05:25,440
 to really look at.

1139
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:30,500
 And then when you're talking about Thompson High School, it's the best school in Alabama,

1140
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:31,340
 in my opinion.

1141
01:05:31,820 --> 01:05:35,980
 And I think that they just do a great job of developing ball players.

1142
01:05:36,180 --> 01:05:42,540
 He is, I did a top-ten thing this year, the top-ten programs nationally, and I had him

1143
01:05:42,540 --> 01:05:44,440
 as one of the top-ten.

1144
01:05:44,780 --> 01:05:48,460
 What I did with traveling, I had all the top players from each school.

1145
01:05:48,580 --> 01:05:55,580
 So Coach came out, and we did group photos with all the guys, and he not only had a great

1146
01:05:55,580 --> 01:05:58,440
 tackle, but he had a couple of great 20-28 players.

1147
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:04,500
 Well, he's got the quarterback who's going to Alabama, who's really good, except they also

1148
01:06:04,500 --> 01:06:06,800
 have the best player in Louisiana committed.

1149
01:06:07,180 --> 01:06:11,720
 So it's good to have that kind of a problem when you have that many good times.

1150
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:16,060
 But I do think that Thompson High School is one of the premier schools, and his tackle

1151
01:06:16,060 --> 01:06:20,200
 is one of the better ball players, too, although they also got a great safety that I think is

1152
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:21,160
 one of the best in the country.

1153
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,440
 Tom Lemming, CBS Sports.

1154
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:26,100
 Tom, your thoughts.

1155
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:30,320
 You know where we are, and you know there's never an off day when it comes to football and

1156
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:31,600
 recruiting in our neck of the woods.

1157
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:37,140
 What message can you tell both Alabama and Auburn fans right now in this cycle?

1158
01:06:37,220 --> 01:06:38,720
 And back to your point, it's June.

1159
01:06:38,820 --> 01:06:39,360
 It's hard to believe.

1160
01:06:39,460 --> 01:06:44,420
 We're still roughly just under six months away from this thing becoming official, and is it

1161
01:06:44,420 --> 01:06:45,800
 ever official now with the rules?

1162
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:51,660
 But Alabama fans were adjusting to this thing called a three-star, and not many.

1163
01:06:51,940 --> 01:06:57,000
 Auburn, after a drought now, after this morning, they're up to like 23, 24.

1164
01:06:57,700 --> 01:07:01,900
 Tom, what can you say to, in effect, the Mason-Dixon line?

1165
01:07:02,020 --> 01:07:05,880
 The line's drawn in our state to the respective fan bases here so far.

1166
01:07:06,500 --> 01:07:08,420
 To ease Alabama fans' worry.

1167
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:13,640
 Do you remember several years ago when I was doing your show, and Alabama was ranked 68th

1168
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:14,560
 or something in the fans?

1169
01:07:14,700 --> 01:07:15,260
 Yes, we did.

1170
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:16,100
 They wanted to fire.

1171
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:17,400
 They wanted to fire Nick Schraven.

1172
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:18,080
 Right.

1173
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,480
 And then he wound up, by the end of the year, as number one.

1174
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:26,960
 And I remember I said, I used the term, I said, you know, it's sort of the turtle in

1175
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:27,340
 the hair.

1176
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:32,720
 I mean, yeah, and they were playing the turtle early on because they're waiting for all the

1177
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:33,580
 great players at the end.

1178
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,540
 I'm not saying that's going to be the happen this year.

1179
01:07:35,620 --> 01:07:40,640
 Alabama's done well, and they have a long way to go, but they don't have Nick Saban.

1180
01:07:40,780 --> 01:07:42,920
 So I think there's a slight change.

1181
01:07:43,020 --> 01:07:44,040
 You've got to worry a little bit.

1182
01:07:44,100 --> 01:07:45,180
 Auburn's almost done.

1183
01:07:45,700 --> 01:07:48,900
 Also, I just saw their best player, the running back from East St. Louis.

1184
01:07:48,900 --> 01:07:54,120
 This kid is a phenom, 10, 600 meters, and he weighs almost 240 right now.

1185
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,880
 I was down there last week with, you know, they're one of the premier programs in the

1186
01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:58,220
 country.

1187
01:07:58,460 --> 01:08:02,660
 I first saw him at DeSoto High School where he helped them win a state title in Texas,

1188
01:08:02,660 --> 01:08:06,340
 and then he moved back to where his family is in East St. Louis, Illinois.

1189
01:08:07,180 --> 01:08:11,540
 And Mice and Johnson Cook is, in my mind, maybe the best running back in the country.

1190
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,660
 People don't have him that way, but they will see him.

1191
01:08:14,020 --> 01:08:18,100
 Auburn's got themselves a star when it comes to Mice, as long as he stays healthy.

1192
01:08:18,100 --> 01:08:19,940
 This is a guy who's got great size.

1193
01:08:20,440 --> 01:08:24,240
 And when I first started the first year, Eric Dickerson came out.

1194
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:25,560
 Then the next year it was Herschel Walker.

1195
01:08:25,700 --> 01:08:26,940
 Then the next year it was Bo Jackson.

1196
01:08:27,420 --> 01:08:31,340
 And you kept seeing these big guys that can run 10, 400, 10, 500 meters.

1197
01:08:31,860 --> 01:08:37,120
 And then all of a sudden you had like a 20-year drought, really, until you saw another couple

1198
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,300
 of guys like Adrian Pearson come along.

1199
01:08:39,660 --> 01:08:41,000
 Mice is that type of guy.

1200
01:08:41,340 --> 01:08:45,760
 He plays in one of the premier programs in the Midwest, and he plays against great competition,

1201
01:08:45,860 --> 01:08:48,440
 and he still plays, averaging the first down to carry.

1202
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:53,340
 So Auburn's got themselves a big start coming in, and they also got one of the best tackles

1203
01:08:53,340 --> 01:08:53,760
 in the country.

1204
01:08:53,860 --> 01:08:56,400
 A lot of people I haven't heard about, Leighton Von Brandt.

1205
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:58,480
 He's very, very athletic.

1206
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:02,280
 And I'm helping select now the U.S. Army game that's at Cowboys Stadium.

1207
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:06,980
 And we just selected a linebacker named James Pace, who plays defensive and outside linebacker

1208
01:09:06,980 --> 01:09:07,580
 from DeMatha.

1209
01:09:08,060 --> 01:09:09,180
 And he's a big-time guy.

1210
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,080
 So Auburn has really put together an outstanding class.

1211
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,860
 So I think the Tiger fans should be very, very happy.

1212
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,340
 The Alabama fans, happy, but maybe with a little concern.

1213
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:24,440
 Yeah, in fact, Auburn picked up, too, this morning to Sean Hall, a four-star wide receiver,

1214
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:31,600
 and Cedric Simmons, a kid out of Southside Selma, who caught 2,100 yards in receptions last

1215
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:31,940
 year.

1216
01:09:31,940 --> 01:09:34,980
 Let me ask you about Osani Gales, wide receiver.

1217
01:09:35,140 --> 01:09:36,520
 He's going to commit Saturday.

1218
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:43,860
 He, next day trip to Notre Dame in Tennessee, according to our reports, he seems to be leaning

1219
01:09:43,860 --> 01:09:46,160
 toward Alabama from IMG Academy.

1220
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:48,880
 Tell us a little bit more about Osani Gales.

1221
01:09:49,340 --> 01:09:52,540
 I went and saw him in Stockton, California a couple of years ago.

1222
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:54,820
 His dad was in my magazine, Quintus Stanford.

1223
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:56,820
 And so I know him very well.

1224
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:57,620
 He's not real big.

1225
01:09:57,660 --> 01:09:58,500
 He's explosive.

1226
01:09:58,820 --> 01:10:01,920
 He's close to being a five-star, to be honest with you, when you watch it.

1227
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:06,600
 He's at IMG, which I always think kind of hinders development.

1228
01:10:06,980 --> 01:10:10,100
 You know, they already, the only good guys that have already had like 20 to 50 offers.

1229
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,460
 And they get down there because they have so many players.

1230
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:13,420
 They don't play the whole year.

1231
01:10:13,480 --> 01:10:14,880
 They only have like an eight-game schedule.

1232
01:10:15,140 --> 01:10:16,560
 And a lot of the guys don't play.

1233
01:10:16,660 --> 01:10:18,400
 Osani's stats really dropped off.

1234
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,440
 But believe me, he's a big-time guy.

1235
01:10:20,660 --> 01:10:22,560
 He's, like I said, close to five-star.

1236
01:10:22,620 --> 01:10:23,320
 He goes to Alabama.

1237
01:10:23,420 --> 01:10:25,240
 I think he'll be an instant impact player.

1238
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:27,240
 And I know he's a smart kid.

1239
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,520
 He's got, you know, just great track skills.

1240
01:10:29,820 --> 01:10:32,980
 And they have another kid down there, Eric McFarland, who's similar.

1241
01:10:33,340 --> 01:10:39,160
 Two smallish, kind of really good wide receivers who stats, you wouldn't know by their stats,

1242
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,820
 but they're big, big-time ballplayers.

1243
01:10:41,900 --> 01:10:42,940
 So, Alabama gets them.

1244
01:10:43,060 --> 01:10:45,360
 They're getting a close-to-five-star wide receiver.

1245
01:10:45,980 --> 01:10:47,880
 Well, you're about a 10-star.

1246
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,960
 Believe me, you started this five-star system.

1247
01:10:51,340 --> 01:10:51,620
 I know.

1248
01:10:51,820 --> 01:10:52,860
 You can blame me.

1249
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:54,620
 That's exactly right.

1250
01:10:55,020 --> 01:10:57,680
 Listen, tell us where we can get on to get the magazine.

1251
01:10:57,920 --> 01:10:59,320
 I know you're going to print.

1252
01:10:59,420 --> 01:11:01,960
 Will it go to print late July?

1253
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,120
 Tell us where we can get online to get the magazine and everything else.

1254
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:06,580
 Yeah, it's going to go to print mid-July.

1255
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:08,820
 It's going to be out an hour, probably in late July now.

1256
01:11:08,860 --> 01:11:10,080
 It'll be ready to be mailed.

1257
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:11,680
 And all that's 240 pages.

1258
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,840
 I've got all of it done.

1259
01:11:14,900 --> 01:11:16,040
 Now it's a matter of corrections.

1260
01:11:16,340 --> 01:11:21,320
 And then keeping up with the players, I have to talk or text each one to make sure I got their schools right.

1261
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,660
 And you know what's funny is, it only goes to the printer for like seven or eight days.

1262
01:11:24,740 --> 01:11:28,040
 But by that time, there's 30 or 40 kids who have switched high schools.

1263
01:11:28,780 --> 01:11:30,220
 And I can't keep track of it.

1264
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,240
 It drives me crazy, especially down in Florida or California.

1265
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,760
 These guys, there's been a few players that have gone to four different high schools.

1266
01:11:37,480 --> 01:11:45,320
 And so you can just go to TomLemmingPrepFootball.com, and they can find out about the different magazines we have.

1267
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:48,240
 And also just at LemmingReport on Twitter.

1268
01:11:49,180 --> 01:11:51,140
 Tom, I just found out that kid's name.

1269
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:52,440
 It's Jerry McGuire.

1270
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:53,580
 Show me the money, right?

1271
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:56,020
 Absolutely right.

1272
01:11:56,220 --> 01:11:58,780
 We're in a different world now in recruiting with all these agents.

1273
01:11:58,780 --> 01:11:59,920
 We all have agents.

1274
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,680
 Keep up the good work.

1275
01:12:03,900 --> 01:12:06,360
 Enjoy some home cooking before you get back on the road.

1276
01:12:06,480 --> 01:12:08,420
 And again, thanks so much for your time today, buddy.

1277
01:12:09,060 --> 01:12:09,840
 My pleasure, guys.

1278
01:12:09,940 --> 01:12:10,340
 Take care.

1279
01:12:10,480 --> 01:12:10,920
 Thank you, Tom.

1280
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,120

 And David Ortiz, when I lost my mom, she was only 46, and I lost my dad to cancer.

1316
01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:58,160
 It was the worst pain I ever felt.

1317
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:02,460
 It made me think, what will happen with the people I love when my time is up?

1318
01:15:02,940 --> 01:15:04,340

 My name is Whitney Allen, and I'm a widow.

1337
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:53,320
 My husband, Ryan, died.

1338
01:15:53,440 --> 01:15:57,240

 Skechers elite athlete, O.G. Ananobi, has been making history on the basketball court.

1349
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:26,020
 Ananobi tips it in!

1350
01:16:26,420 --> 01:16:26,900
 Unbelievable!

1351
01:16:27,220 --> 01:16:27,940
 What a shot!

1352
01:16:28,060 --> 01:16:32,740
 He's been balling out in Skechers' high-performance basketball sneakers, and the world is noticed.

1353
01:16:32,740 --> 01:16:36,160
 But how does O.G. train off the court to keep in peak physical condition?

1354
01:16:36,420 --> 01:16:38,540
 Hands-free Skechers slip-ins arrowbursts.

 The score.

1358
01:16:52,100 --> 01:16:56,880
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

1359
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:57,860
 Welcome back, kid.

1360
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:00,320
 Time to open the door and say hello to Joe Cox.

1361
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:01,880
 Busy there at Saturday down south.

1362
01:17:02,020 --> 01:17:03,140
 Joe, welcome in.

1363
01:17:03,220 --> 01:17:04,080
 How are you?

1364
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:05,340
 Doing well.

1365
01:17:05,420 --> 01:17:06,200
 Kid complains.

1366
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:07,220
 Beautiful weather up here.

1367
01:17:07,220 --> 01:17:08,420
 I hope you guys are doing good.

1368
01:17:08,420 --> 01:17:13,940
 Brent and I will never make the honor roll, but we believe the SEC is pretty good when it comes to baseball.

1369
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:14,560
 Would you agree?

1370
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:18,420
 I think the case is there to be made, certainly.

1371
01:17:19,340 --> 01:17:21,820
 Seven in a row, Oklahoma this time.

1372
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:26,440
 What's amazing about it, Joe, is it's not like one team dominating.

1373
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:28,860
 It's like, here, Joe, you take it.

1374
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,140
 Here, Brett, you take it.

1375
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:31,520
 Here, Joe Moe, you take it.

1376
01:17:31,860 --> 01:17:35,400
 Everybody gets a piece of pie in the SEC when it comes to baseball, did they not?

1377
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:37,320
 Apparently so.

1378
01:17:37,460 --> 01:17:42,380
 I mean, this one I think most resembles that unlikely Ole Miss run from a few years ago.

1379
01:17:42,380 --> 01:17:47,460
 So, you know, there have been some heavy hitters out of the SEC who've made their way.

1380
01:17:47,980 --> 01:17:55,940
 An Oklahoma team that had a sub-500 league record that got bounced in the first round in Hoover by a miserable LSU team.

1381
01:17:56,520 --> 01:18:01,880
 I'd love to pretend it was all on our radar, but it certainly wasn't on mine, gentlemen.

1382
01:18:02,420 --> 01:18:03,760
 You make up a good point.

1383
01:18:03,820 --> 01:18:07,280
 We've talked before about the tournament, the SEC tournament.

1384
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,080
 And a lot of folks sit here and say you need to keep the momentum going.

1385
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:16,880
 The other side of the coin is, if you know you're going to get a postseason ticket, don't burn up your pitching staff.

1386
01:18:18,260 --> 01:18:24,540
 Going forward, if any coach was to say there's some validity to that, Oklahoma certainly lives up to it, did they not?

1387
01:18:25,300 --> 01:18:25,740
 Absolutely.

1388
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:27,040
 That's the takeaway.

1389
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:32,020
 As much as there is one is throw that conference tournament out the window.

1390
01:18:32,020 --> 01:18:43,160
 And honestly, now, you know, if I'm the SEC looking at having won seven of these things in a row, I start to say, do we even want to bother having that tournament?

1391
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:45,700
 You don't need it to make a team for anybody.

1392
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:47,080
 I mean, it's a fun event.

1393
01:18:47,180 --> 01:18:48,140
 The fans enjoy it.

1394
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:49,340
 But you know what?

1395
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:50,960
 Give everybody that week off.

1396
01:18:51,100 --> 01:18:55,420
 And then maybe we're going to have an eight-team College World Series SEC field.

1397
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:55,900
 Who knows?

1398
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:56,520
 Yeah.

1399
01:18:56,660 --> 01:19:05,040
 Greg Sankey might call you in the office, though, Joe, and say, Joe, we make a little bit of money with this SEC baseball tournament.

1400
01:19:05,440 --> 01:19:07,200
 But it's incredible.

1401
01:19:07,420 --> 01:19:18,000
 You go back to 2017, the point Harold made, Florida beat LSU and the only team in 2018, Oregon State, who did they beat?

1402
01:19:18,140 --> 01:19:18,620
 Arkansas.

1403
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:27,960
 But the only SEC team that won it twice was LSU in 23 and LSU twice.

1404
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:34,160
 But it's been Florida, Bandy, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Oklahoma.

1405
01:19:34,300 --> 01:19:35,460
 It's incredible, Joe.

1406
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:38,240
 Nearly another team wins it every year.

1407
01:19:38,820 --> 01:19:46,040
 Well, and, you know, let's go ahead and put on that forecaster hat and say, you know, we keep talking about this.

1408
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,120
 Darn it, one of these days, Van Horn out at Arkansas.

1409
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:48,660
 Yeah, I know.

1410
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:56,560
 So, you know, there are still some good candidates out there who can keep this streak going with different SEC teams.

1411
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:58,800
 Joe Cox Saturday down south.

1412
01:19:58,860 --> 01:19:59,760
 You mentioned Arkansas.

1413
01:20:00,100 --> 01:20:04,060
 Joe, do you think Arkansas fans right now, yes, they would love for that to happen,

1414
01:20:04,060 --> 01:20:08,680
 but do you think they've got a close eye on Frisco and Tony Votelli?

1415
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,360
 You look at some of the stuff that's going on out with the Giants.

1416
01:20:12,060 --> 01:20:12,840
 Hats off to him.

1417
01:20:12,860 --> 01:20:20,620
 He said, I'm going to go from the college ranks to being a skipper in the major leagues without any big league experience in this position.

1418
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:28,120
 And he's gone through some growing pains from trying to get the right pitcher out of the bullpen on time to pinch runners sitting here and fussing with him.

1419
01:20:28,340 --> 01:20:33,780
 You look at Votelli, and I saw the incident over the weekend with that pinch runner basically saying, I'm not coming out of the game.

1420
01:20:34,340 --> 01:20:36,200
 And it's like, Votelli's good is just bad.

1421
01:20:36,300 --> 01:20:43,020
 He wants to run a loosey-goosey shop, but when there are no boundaries, the kids are going to sit here sometimes and show you up in real time.

1422
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:47,900
 And the point I tried to make earlier about Arkansas fans, he really is playing with house money, is he not?

1423
01:20:47,900 --> 01:20:55,160
 He's going to build his resume, make good money, and if things don't work out, I would imagine Arkansas would welcome him back with open arms.

1424
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:57,160
 I would think so, too.

1425
01:20:57,460 --> 01:21:09,080
 You know, in the big picture, even if he indeed fails as a manager in San Francisco, it still doesn't hurt if you come back to college as a recruiting tool to say, hey, I was a major league manager.

1426
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:10,380
 I know what goes on up there.

1427
01:21:10,440 --> 01:21:13,220
 I can make sure you're ready for the next level.

1428
01:21:13,220 --> 01:21:18,440
 So, you know, he could even spend failure in his case there.

1429
01:21:18,740 --> 01:21:19,100
 I don't know.

1430
01:21:19,140 --> 01:21:21,280
 That's going to be a situation to keep an eye on.

1431
01:21:21,420 --> 01:21:27,320
 How hurried is Arkansas to shove Van Horn out the door as excellent as he's been?

1432
01:21:28,100 --> 01:21:36,360
 You know, it's a volatile situation there because that's a man who's done everything for that program, and you certainly don't want to be the end greats.

1433
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,360
 But at the same time, yeah, Vitello would be hard to turn away.

1434
01:21:40,980 --> 01:21:45,800
 NBA draft tonight, you know the SEC basketball as well as you do baseball.

1435
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:52,640
 Darius Acuff, probably in the top five, number six on several of the mock drafts.

1436
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:58,060
 Nate Ament from Tennessee, guy Alabama fans in our audience know well.

1437
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,880
 LeBaron Phylon, supposedly at 13.

1438
01:22:01,480 --> 01:22:07,680
 Joe, I've seen probably six SEC players in the first round of the NBA draft.

1439
01:22:07,820 --> 01:22:09,320
 How many do you think would get there?

1440
01:22:09,860 --> 01:22:12,020
 That sounds like a pretty good guess.

1441
01:22:12,220 --> 01:22:18,680
 I mean, you never know with those guys at the back of the round who, I mean, like, let's throw out a random name that's probably going to be in there.

1442
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:19,960
 It's Quaintance from Kentucky.

1443
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:20,460
 Yes.

1444
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:24,300
 It's not because of anything he showed in his four games he played at Kentucky.

1445
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:30,060
 But, you know, guys near seven feet tall with the ability to jump out of the gym don't come up often.

1446
01:22:30,300 --> 01:22:32,500
 So, he's probably going to be picked somewhere.

1447
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:40,180
 You know, I mean, as far as guys I've got a real eye on Phylon, I've seen a few of those mock drafts that have him going to Oklahoma City.

1448
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:47,520
 And if I'm a young player looking to kind of work my way in as a role guy, that sounds incredibly attractive to me.

1449
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:48,680
 All they do is win.

1450
01:22:49,180 --> 01:22:53,840
 The chance to get plugged into something like that would be a massive win for him.

1451
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:57,840
 But, yeah, there's always some volatility at the bottom.

1452
01:22:58,540 --> 01:23:01,360
 Acuff is the guy who my 14-year-old loves.

1453
01:23:01,420 --> 01:23:06,240
 When we went to Nashville to watch the SEC tournament, he came out singing his praises.

1454
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:09,120
 And I keep telling him the only problem is he doesn't guard anybody.

1455
01:23:09,380 --> 01:23:11,800
 But it might be as far for the course in the NBA.

1456
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:16,780
 And living in Kentucky, does he like that coach in Arkansas right now?

1457
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,940
 You know, he actually was rooting for them.

1458
01:23:21,260 --> 01:23:23,400
 But you can't account for 14-year-olds.

1459
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:24,520
 They think their own way.

1460
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:25,520
 There you go.

1461
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,920
 So, obviously, Dusty May is leaving Michigan.

1462
01:23:29,060 --> 01:23:32,000
 That's their situation up there to deal with.

1463
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:37,080
 Number one, some of the things he said was, I'm getting out of this rat race called college sports.

1464
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,940
 I'm going to the NBA where at least it's a lot of pressure.

1465
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:43,700
 But I ain't got to put up with a bunch of babysitting down here with agents, et cetera.

1466
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:45,940
 And young kids who haven't even shaved yet.

1467
01:23:46,020 --> 01:23:47,160
 And they're millionaires.

1468
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:48,880
 Your thoughts about that.

1469
01:23:49,100 --> 01:23:58,000
 And the bigger picture is if he is leaving for the NBA, how may that affect the SEC as far as potential candidates to fill that position?

1470
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:02,620
 Yeah, I think they're going to stay interim for a year.

1471
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,300
 So, I don't think anything is going to change right away.

1472
01:24:06,420 --> 01:24:09,960
 But a year from now, it certainly makes things very interesting.

1473
01:24:10,420 --> 01:24:15,180
 You know, big picture-wise, it's hard not to understand where he's coming from here.

1474
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:19,080
 And I think about all the turnover we've had between guys who've done what he's done.

1475
01:24:19,660 --> 01:24:23,740
 And then some of the older guys who said, you know what, retirement's sounding real good right now.

1476
01:24:23,740 --> 01:24:24,840
 And I got money in the bank.

1477
01:24:25,480 --> 01:24:32,660
 Yeah, if you look around and just start to think about, okay, who are the top ten or so coaches in the college game?

1478
01:24:32,900 --> 01:24:36,800
 And there has been a radical turnover of that list in a short time frame.

1479
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,020
 It's understandable.

1480
01:24:39,500 --> 01:24:51,320
 Given the massive amount of uncertainty, I mean, pledging your career to a sport where everything could be radically different in six months or a year is a hard thing to do.

1481
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:57,720
 And, yeah, the NBA, the chance to coach Cooper Flagg, I think, made that sound pretty easy to him.

1482
01:24:58,300 --> 01:25:05,940
 Joe, the Division I Council, reportedly either today or tomorrow, is going to approve the five years to play five.

1483
01:25:06,420 --> 01:25:16,440
 That may be one answer to eligibility for these players, which would, you're not going to have 28-year-olds playing 18.

1484
01:25:17,260 --> 01:25:18,760
 How much will that help?

1485
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,480
 At least, Joe, it's a minor step in the right direction.

1486
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:23,960
 It will be if people follow it.

1487
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:28,880
 But my question with whatever the rules are, are the rules going to be the rules?

1488
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:30,240
 The rules exist now.

1489
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,020
 The problem is nobody wants to follow them.

1490
01:25:32,300 --> 01:25:35,500
 So you go out there and you venue shop.

1491
01:25:35,580 --> 01:25:39,860
 You find a spot where you've got some alums on the bench and you've got a friendly judge.

1492
01:25:39,860 --> 01:25:44,620
 And you say, well, I just don't see why I shouldn't get a sixth-year or a seventh-year or an eighth-year.

1493
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:48,660
 And, you know, these things come down in inconsistent ways.

1494
01:25:48,860 --> 01:25:54,220
 And the NCAA spending more time in court than it is, you know, trying to figure out college sports.

1495
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:54,540
 Yeah.

1496
01:25:54,680 --> 01:26:01,080
 So the question is going to be, can we ever reach a consensus that everybody will actually follow?

1497
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:02,760
 The idea of rules is great.

1498
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,120
 The policing of rules is MIA.

1499
01:26:05,700 --> 01:26:07,040
 That's exactly right.

1500
01:26:07,460 --> 01:26:10,540
 Great, great SEC baseball year, Joe.

1501
01:26:10,540 --> 01:26:13,620
 Again, the tradition continues.

1502
01:26:14,260 --> 01:26:16,140
 Winning national championships.

1503
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,720
 I know you've got it as far as a recount.

1504
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:23,100
 We'll be talking football next time we turn around.

1505
01:26:23,660 --> 01:26:24,980
 Listen, have a great week.

1506
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:29,540
 Where can we get online to get your stuff, Adam Spencher's, and the whole games?

1507
01:26:30,180 --> 01:26:32,220
 Check us out Saturday down south.

1508
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:37,660
 And, yeah, for me, the scene shifts probably to August and to thinking about football.

1509
01:26:37,660 --> 01:26:44,880
 I get a little bit of time away from sports, which just means everything in the world is going to happen just to drag us all back in every day.

1510
01:26:45,020 --> 01:26:48,460
 But thank you guys for having me out and putting up with my shenanigans.

1511
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:49,560
 I always enjoy you.

1512

1525
01:27:39,700 --> 01:27:43,200
 Are you tired of being told that it's going to be $200 to $300 an hour for labor?

1526
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:50,220

 Yeah, hi. I'm here to pick up my suit.

1534
01:28:20,420 --> 01:28:22,440
 Ah, yes. Here you go.

1535
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:25,200
 There must be a mistake. This is too small.

1536
01:28:25,380 --> 01:28:26,960
 It shrunk a whole lot.

1537
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:30,140
 Look on the bright side. Now you have a suit you can give to a child.

1538
01:28:30,340 --> 01:28:31,900
 This is a job for sponsored cops.

 Getting sick always happens at the worst time.

1557
01:29:14,300 --> 01:29:17,000
 The middle of the night, weekends, or right before the holidays.

1558
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:21,520
 Your doctor's office is closed, and urgent care means long waits and big bills.

1559
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,360
 That's why I keep a medical emergency kit at home.

1560
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:26,900

1562

 This isn't a first-aid kit.

1563
01:29:32,580 --> 01:29:36,080
 It's like having an urgent care and a pharmacy right there in your home.

1564
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:41,180
 You get essential prescriptions like a generic Z-Pak, plus antibiotics for pneumonia, strep,

1565
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:44,580
 ear and sinus infections, even meds for nausea and UTIs.

 My name is Whitney Allen, and I'm a widow.

1576
01:30:13,900 --> 01:30:14,920
 My husband, Ryan, died.

1577

1635
01:32:51,860 --> 01:32:53,500
 Now that's a recession-resistant career.

1636
01:32:53,700 --> 01:32:54,440
 Wow, thanks.

 Welcome again.

1644
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:17,740
 Time to head on down to the Sunshine State and say hello to Mr. Sunshine himself.

1645
01:33:17,860 --> 01:33:18,380
 Matt Merchelle.

1646
01:33:18,480 --> 01:33:19,960
 He's busy there with the Orlando Center.

1647
01:33:20,060 --> 01:33:23,020
 And his podcast is called Gridiron 365.

1648
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:24,480
 Matt, welcome in.

1649
01:33:24,540 --> 01:33:25,040
 How are you?

1650
01:33:25,980 --> 01:33:26,800
 I'm doing well.

1651
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:27,800
 How are you guys doing today?

1652
01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:30,500
 NBA draft tonight.

1653
01:33:30,660 --> 01:33:34,560
 Matt, who's got more first-rounders, the NBA or the Florida Gators?

1654
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:39,060
 Yeah, well, I think it's going to be the Gators, it looks like.

1655
01:33:39,060 --> 01:33:43,760
 I mean, you think about how that team has been put together over the last couple of years,

1656
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:49,820
 what, you know, Todd Golden has done, you know, what they're, you know, how they've accomplished,

1657
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:51,100
 you know, and winning a title.

1658
01:33:51,300 --> 01:33:55,340
 And so I think it's going to be very interesting to see where some of these Florida Gators kind

1659
01:33:55,340 --> 01:33:55,860
 of wind up.

1660
01:33:57,180 --> 01:33:57,580
 Yeah.

1661
01:33:57,980 --> 01:34:03,000
 Matt, Dusty Mays has been a big topic of discussion this week, leaving Michigan to go

1662
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:05,120
 to the Dallas Mavericks.

1663
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:11,460
 A lot of people who have talked with him over the last year have said that they're not surprised

1664
01:34:11,460 --> 01:34:18,080
 that he had gotten to be rather discouraged as far as the, where college sports, and particularly,

1665
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:20,520
 obviously, college basketball is going.

1666
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:27,040
 And he did a couple of interviews recently and said, look, I enjoy my conversations with

1667
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:27,600
 the players.

1668
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:30,140
 I just don't like to deal with the agents.

1669
01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:35,800
 Now, I know general managers did do a lot of that, but once again, Matt, one of the best

1670
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:42,340
 coaches in college leaving to go to the NBA because of frustrations with college sports.

1671
01:34:43,220 --> 01:34:43,580
 Yeah.

1672
01:34:43,620 --> 01:34:47,120
 I mean, this is, we've seen it happening in football, you know, in some of the other

1673
01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:47,960
 sports as well.

1674
01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:52,080
 And I think it's, it just goes to show you, you know, things have changed, you know, where,

1675
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:57,220
 you know, you can come off a national championship and, you know, it just, it's still just a challenge.

1676
01:34:57,220 --> 01:34:57,900
 It's a grind.

1677
01:34:58,060 --> 01:35:01,900
 I mean, to be able to get yourself back to where you want to be, you know, whether it's, you

1678
01:35:01,900 --> 01:35:06,540
 know, recruiting, whether it's dealing with NIL, dealing with revenue sharing, you know,

1679
01:35:06,540 --> 01:35:11,600
 the challenges that everyone faces right now, you'd look around and it's, it's not like

1680
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:16,760
 it used to be where, you know, you had maybe the top 10, 10, 15 programs and they were able

1681
01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:18,260
 to stay that way for a long time.

1682
01:35:18,780 --> 01:35:21,340
 Everybody's basically on your shoulder, you know, you're looking over your shoulder all

1683
01:35:21,340 --> 01:35:21,760
 the time.

1684
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:24,000
 Everyone's basically trying to find ways to improve.

1685
01:35:24,340 --> 01:35:26,300
 And so I just think it's a challenge.

1686
01:35:26,300 --> 01:35:30,300
 And when the NBA comes knocking and says, listen, listen, Dusty, come down here.

1687
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:31,160
 You'll have an opportunity.

1688
01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:33,900
 You'll, you know, we have people who take care of all that stuff.

1689
01:35:34,060 --> 01:35:38,740
 All you need to worry about is coaching, you know, which seems attractive option that it's

1690
01:35:38,740 --> 01:35:41,120
 easy for him to say, okay, I want to leave and do that.

1691
01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:45,240
 So, um, I think it's something we're going to see more and more of over the next few years

1692
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:50,160
 is good college coaches deciding, listen, I'm done with dealing with all this stuff.

1693
01:35:50,420 --> 01:35:53,980
 I'm going to go to the NBA and I'm going to have a chance to maybe, you know, try to work

1694
01:35:53,980 --> 01:35:55,740
 there and see if I can win a title there.

1695
01:35:55,740 --> 01:35:59,700
 And if not, I'll find a way, maybe back to the college game, maybe once things have kind

1696
01:35:59,700 --> 01:36:00,340
 of settled down.

1697
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:06,140
 Matt, Michelle, the Orlando's and the reason we emphasize that you're in Florida, but Matt

1698
01:36:06,140 --> 01:36:08,540
 remind us where you come from.

1699
01:36:08,620 --> 01:36:10,520
 What is your native state, Matt, Michelle?

1700
01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:13,060
 Uh, that would be Indiana, of course.

1701
01:36:13,220 --> 01:36:18,220
 And of course we know Indiana stole the show this past season, college football.

1702
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:22,140
 What's it, what are you hearing from the natives back there now relative to football?

1703
01:36:22,140 --> 01:36:25,940
 And in your opinion, who's going to be the Indiana this season?

1704
01:36:25,940 --> 01:36:29,480
 I'm looking at all of the preseason magazines last season, Matt.

1705
01:36:29,660 --> 01:36:33,520
 I don't see many that picked Indiana to finish number one in the country.

1706
01:36:34,060 --> 01:36:36,340
 Who's going to be the Indiana this season?

1707
01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:38,840
 Well, I think that's a very good question.

1708
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:42,820
 I think, you know, going back to what you asked about, what's the kind of buzz and, you know,

1709
01:36:42,820 --> 01:36:46,720
 when it comes to, you know, Indiana, I still think people are so euphoric about it.

1710
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:52,660
 I, I, I jokingly told you guys that having lived there many years, that if, if, you know,

1711
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:56,040
 Indiana won the national title, believe me, they would, they would put a statue of Kirk

1712
01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:58,820
 Cignetti up, you know, in front of the stadium right away.

1713
01:36:58,860 --> 01:37:00,120
 I mean, and that's probably true.

1714
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:02,160
 So I think Indiana is going to be fine.

1715
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:05,840
 I mean, again, they're going to have to find a way to, to replace Francisco Mendoza.

1716
01:37:06,100 --> 01:37:09,440
 They're going to have to find a way to put themselves in there as well, but it's going

1717
01:37:09,440 --> 01:37:12,300
 to be a challenge to be that next Indiana, you know what I mean?

1718
01:37:12,300 --> 01:37:15,040
 Again, you're going to have to find, you're going to have to do some things, you know,

1719
01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:18,860
 just like kind of what Indiana did, you're going to have to find some, some senior laden,

1720
01:37:18,940 --> 01:37:23,600
 some guys maybe that had been on a team together, you know, and we're able to come in and bond

1721
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:24,260
 really quickly.

1722
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:29,000
 You're going to have to find a quarterback, someone that has an elite ability to step up

1723
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:30,320
 and make some plays.

1724
01:37:30,740 --> 01:37:34,780
 You know, you saw that a little bit last year and you're also going to need some teams,

1725
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:37,520
 maybe that, you know, you're going to need some, some luck, a little bit of luck that

1726
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:38,260
 goes in there as well.

1727
01:37:38,380 --> 01:37:42,300
 I think, you know, if you're looking anywhere, I would look a little bit, maybe, you know,

1728
01:37:42,300 --> 01:37:46,440
 you look at team like Houston or BYU, you know, coming in from the, you know, from the

1729
01:37:46,440 --> 01:37:50,860
 big 12, maybe they make a solid run based on everything that's going on.

1730
01:37:51,120 --> 01:37:53,320
 I mean, tech, tech is going to, would have been there as well.

1731
01:37:53,440 --> 01:37:54,520
 It's sourced because it's sourced man.

1732
01:37:55,380 --> 01:37:58,420
 But, you know, and then I think you're going to, you're going to have to look at some of

1733
01:37:58,420 --> 01:38:03,020
 the other teams that maybe are, are trying to find that little bit of magic in a bottle.

1734
01:38:03,820 --> 01:38:07,620
 And, and maybe Oregon is one of those teams and maybe Oregon finds its way to do that.

1735
01:38:07,740 --> 01:38:09,020
 I know Oregon's been a contender.

1736
01:38:09,100 --> 01:38:13,180
 I'm not, you know, I understand that, but it's, it's tough being that Cinderella.

1737
01:38:13,180 --> 01:38:17,700
 I mean, listen, honestly, it is because it's just, the more you find success and the more

1738
01:38:17,700 --> 01:38:22,140
 your players get better on your team, the more other schools are willing to swoop in and

1739
01:38:22,140 --> 01:38:22,920
 steal those guys.

1740
01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:27,940
 And it's the reason why many coaches really don't want to, you know, actually showcase some

1741
01:38:27,940 --> 01:38:30,500
 of the guys early on because they're afraid that's going to end up happening.

1742
01:38:30,980 --> 01:38:36,060
 Yeah, let's bring it back home because who's the dark horse of Cinderella and the SEC, in

1743
01:38:36,060 --> 01:38:37,280
 your opinion, Matt, this season?

1744
01:38:38,240 --> 01:38:39,320
 Well, that's a good question.

1745
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:43,600
 I mean, you know, again, looking at the SEC, looking how, you know, you know, I think

1746
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:45,140
 Georgia and Texas are going to be at the top.

1747
01:38:45,260 --> 01:38:50,240
 I think, you know, some, a team to look at, and I mean, I think people might laugh at me,

1748
01:38:50,260 --> 01:38:53,600
 but I think LSU, you know, I mean, I know they got Lane Kiffin.

1749
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:56,100
 People are thinking, okay, ha ha ha, you know what I mean?

1750
01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:59,760
 Lane's going to have some, but I think Lane's one of those, LSU's one of those teams

1751
01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:04,560
 is if they get by Ole Miss after week three and that, and, and, and they get through that

1752
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:09,220
 emotional kind of up and down type of game, that's going to be, so there's a possibility

1753
01:39:09,220 --> 01:39:10,080
 two things can happen.

1754
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:10,540
 You know what I mean?

1755
01:39:10,540 --> 01:39:14,780
 They can, they can ride that and win a bunch of games and put themselves right there, or,

1756
01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:17,800
 you know, they could, you know, they could fall apart later on.

1757
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:23,280
 I think, you know, I would say, you know, after you get past, I mean, when you get down farther

1758
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:25,680
 down the SEC, it's going to be really tough for that.

1759
01:39:26,060 --> 01:39:27,200
 Auburn might be an example.

1760
01:39:27,460 --> 01:39:27,980
 You know what I mean?

1761
01:39:27,980 --> 01:39:29,000
 I mean, listen, Alex Golesh.

1762
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:39,260
 You get some success.

1763
01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:42,280
 You find some things and make it, made her able to make a role.

1764
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:46,300
 It's going to be, it's going to be a challenge for some of these schools to do that.

1765
01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:49,460
 Ole Miss is probably one that you can put in that mix as well.

1766
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:53,240
 Because of what Pete Golding is going to have to go through, and, you know, again, they've

1767
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:56,040
 got a good quarterback coming back again, you know, and now they're going to figure out

1768
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:56,760
 what's going on.

1769
01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:59,560
 So, the SEC is going to be a big challenge.

1770
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:01,520
 Try to have a team just kind of surprise it.

1771
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:07,940
 I'll tell you one thing, if Trinidad Chambliss plays consistently during the season, the way

1772
01:40:07,940 --> 01:40:12,860
 he did against Georgia in the playoffs, they may actually make a run.

1773
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:21,260
 Our esteemed producer, James Moody, just showed me a text that the Division I Council approved

1774
01:40:21,260 --> 01:40:24,740
 a few minutes ago five years to play five.

1775
01:40:24,980 --> 01:40:30,360
 I know we've talked about that, and I think this is a major step as far as the eligibility

1776
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:31,200
 concerns.

1777
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:36,860
 But once again, Matt, can they enforce five years to play five?

1778
01:40:37,580 --> 01:40:41,160
 Yeah, I think that's going to be the question mark right now, because, you know, so far what

1779
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:45,460
 we've seen is that, you know, schools and players have been able to go out and, you know,

1780
01:40:45,460 --> 01:40:50,580
 file a lawsuit and, you know, sue the NCAA and try to find a way to get themselves an injunction

1781
01:40:50,580 --> 01:40:53,640
 so they get the chance to get some eligibility in there.

1782
01:40:53,780 --> 01:40:59,340
 So, it's really going to be amazing to see how this goes forward, because I think there

1783
01:40:59,340 --> 01:41:03,080
 are going to be some people, we've seen it already, we saw it with, you know, Vanderbilt

1784
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:08,600
 quarterback, you know, Diego Piazza, you know, the idea of, you know, if you're a JUCO

1785
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:13,720
 player, you know, do you get an opportunity maybe, you know, those JUCO years count or not?

1786
01:41:13,940 --> 01:41:17,240
 You know, there's a player yesterday, you know, he was trying to get to UCF, you know, he's

1787
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:17,960
 a Kansas player.

1788
01:41:18,180 --> 01:41:23,260
 He's suing, you know, the NCAA because he had a year of JUCO and he thinks he deserves another

1789
01:41:23,260 --> 01:41:23,780
 year of eligibility.

1790
01:41:24,140 --> 01:41:28,500
 So, it just depends on what state you file your lawsuit, what kind of attorney, what kind

1791
01:41:28,500 --> 01:41:29,280
 of a judge you get.

1792
01:41:29,420 --> 01:41:31,520
 So, this is a big step though.

1793
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:32,500
 It is a huge step.

1794
01:41:32,620 --> 01:41:36,860
 I think it does start to quiet a little bit of that and you start to realize, okay, this

1795
01:41:36,860 --> 01:41:40,760
 is what we're left with and you have to be a little bit more careful when it comes to how

1796
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:41,760
 you're doing things.

1797
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:46,600
 So, it looks like, I mean, it's obviously this has been approved, but it'll probably take

1798
01:41:46,600 --> 01:41:48,200
 a little bit of time for it to come into action.

1799
01:41:48,420 --> 01:41:50,160
 So, it'll be interesting to see what coaches are saying.

1800
01:41:50,180 --> 01:41:54,100
 I know a lot of coaches have talked about this and have been in favor of this for a while.

1801
01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:54,880
 Absolutely.

1802
01:41:55,180 --> 01:41:58,800
 Yeah, the little things, they've got to get that worked out before they do some of the

1803
01:41:58,800 --> 01:41:59,460
 big things.

1804
01:41:59,920 --> 01:42:01,660
 Always enjoy the conversation.

1805
01:42:01,860 --> 01:42:04,480
 I know the college season is over with.

1806
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:08,640
 Two months until football and some of the other sports begin again.

1807
01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:13,100
 But, SEC ruling college baseball once again.

1808
01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:15,980
 Matt, where can we get online, bud, and get all the great stuff?

 Ananobi tips it in.

1851
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:25,560
 Unbelievable.

 What a shot.

1853
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:31,540
 He's been balling out in Skechers high-performance basketball sneakers, and the world is noticed.

1854
01:44:31,780 --> 01:44:34,800
 But how does OG train off the court to keep in peak physical condition?

1862
01:45:10,220 --> 01:45:14,220

 Free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

1877
01:45:58,580 --> 01:46:00,360
 BB, quickly, a busy day.

1878
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:08,940
 You know, yesterday was a so-called dead period as far as recruiting, but today's been anything but dead for Alabama and Auburn so far.

1879
01:46:09,140 --> 01:46:12,080
 Yeah, Alabama picking up one so far.

1880
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:17,200
 Tyler Younger, a 6'5", 3'32", edge.

1881
01:46:17,860 --> 01:46:20,560
 And then Auburn picked up two wide receivers.

1882
01:46:20,560 --> 01:46:26,780
 Four-star wide receiver, Deshaun Hull and Cedric Simon from Southside Selma.

1883
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:31,960
 And the best car dealership owner in the planet has joined us now.

1884
01:46:32,220 --> 01:46:37,440
 Would that happen to be one Elmer Pierce, owner of Garner Pierce Autos.

1885
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:38,740
 Elmer, welcome in.

1886
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:39,520
 How are you?

1887
01:46:40,060 --> 01:46:41,500
 I am wonderful, guys.

1888
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:42,060
 I'm wonderful.

1889
01:46:42,220 --> 01:46:42,900
 How are y'all?

1890
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:43,340
 Hey, bud.

1891
01:46:43,820 --> 01:46:45,700
 Well, we just got done talking recruiting.

1892
01:46:45,860 --> 01:46:49,960
 Can you tell us where we can find a five-star deal in the shows, Elmer?

1893
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:54,200
 Absolutely, absolutely, guys.

1894
01:46:54,980 --> 01:46:59,640
 Just got back, but I have been online buying up some cars and stuff.

1895
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:04,800
 Hey, we have everything from, I mean, something to fit every budget.

1896
01:47:04,940 --> 01:47:07,620
 We've got $45,000, $50,000 vehicles.

1897
01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:13,300
 We've got $20,000 vehicles, and we even have $8,000 vehicles.

1898
01:47:13,300 --> 01:47:16,840
 I've got something that everybody's looking for right now.

1899
01:47:17,020 --> 01:47:29,860
 It's a 2007 Z71 crew cab, four-wheel drive, Chevy Silverada, 3,500 diesel truck with 90,000 one-owner miles.

1900
01:47:30,420 --> 01:47:38,260
 And it was bought brand new right here in the Shoals, and it's still here, was only owned by one customer.

1901
01:47:40,100 --> 01:47:47,740
 Unfortunately, they were older, and he had passed away, and the wife came to me, and just like, Elmer, you've done a bunch of service on this for us over the years.

1902
01:47:47,820 --> 01:47:50,140
 I don't need this truck anymore, obviously.

1903
01:47:50,580 --> 01:47:55,820
 So that's how it came about the truck, and it's going to be a great truck for somebody.

1904
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,960
 I mean, that's considered a half-million-mile vehicle.

1905
01:47:59,920 --> 01:48:12,840
 And everybody under the sun is looking for that vehicle, because we have got Internet leads from California to Texas to Maine to Connecticut.

1906
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:20,220
 So, yeah, if you're looking for something even similar, you need to take a look at this, because it's really special.

1907
01:48:20,820 --> 01:48:24,840
 Elmer, you brought up something that we haven't talked about as much, is financing.

1908
01:48:24,840 --> 01:48:33,280
 And as you mentioned, you've got some people with, obviously, short budgets.

1909
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:39,040
 You know, they come in and say, Elmer, you know, I've got a budget, limited amount of money.

1910
01:48:39,160 --> 01:48:40,460
 What can you do to help me?

1911
01:48:40,780 --> 01:48:41,940
 Talk about financing.

1912
01:48:42,940 --> 01:48:49,780
 Oh, guys, I mean, we literally have 30 sources that we deal with on a daily basis,

1913
01:48:49,780 --> 01:48:56,900
 anything from finance companies to banks, credit unions, you name it.

1914
01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:03,160
 And even some people that do special secondary financing and stuff for people with not-so-perfect credit.

1915
01:49:03,440 --> 01:49:05,160
 We see all of that.

1916
01:49:05,380 --> 01:49:07,640
 I mean, we sold a car the other day.

1917
01:49:07,980 --> 01:49:12,960
 It was a U23 Cadillac with, like, 12,000 miles on it.

1918
01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:16,360
 And the lady said, hey, I want to put $20,000 down.

1919
01:49:16,460 --> 01:49:17,880
 I want to finance the rest of it.

1920
01:49:18,300 --> 01:49:21,940
 We got this lady a 4.7% interest rate.

1921
01:49:22,140 --> 01:49:29,000
 And I don't know if you know anything about interest rates right now, but 4.7% is tremendous, even on a new car.

1922
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:36,200
 And this isn't like a, you know, this is a used car without secondary or without cemented interest rates or anything.

1923
01:49:36,460 --> 01:49:40,400
 But 4.7% is actually a great, great interest rate right now.

1924
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:52,660
 So we've got everything from 4.7% all the way up to, you know, banks and finance companies that deal with special cases and secondary finance and people that are trying to rebuild their credit.

1925
01:49:52,820 --> 01:49:54,300
 So we deal with everything.

1926
01:49:55,040 --> 01:50:03,500
 Robert, tell us again before we let you go, location, hours for the service department, website, et cetera.

1927
01:50:04,300 --> 01:50:05,420
 You got it, guys.

1928
01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:11,220

 Come and see us, 2261 Florence Boulevard, right next to Appleby's there in Florence.

1932
01:50:28,940 --> 01:50:33,180
 And as of yesterday, I was there until 7 o'clock last night to help us and folks.

1933
01:50:33,480 --> 01:50:39,060
 So, I mean, we don't close anybody out, but for sure, if you want to buy something, we're going to stay as long as we have to.

 We'd love to help you any way we can.

1936
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:44,560
 Even better than Dolly Parts.

1937
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:45,520
 You work 9 to 5.

1938
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:47,080
 You got it 8 to 5 over your hands.

1939
01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:48,680
 So you got one up on Dolly there, Elmer.

1940
01:50:49,420 --> 01:50:50,100
 That's right.

1941
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:51,140
 That's right, man.

1942
01:50:51,220 --> 01:50:51,960
 Just come and see us.

1943
01:50:52,100 --> 01:50:53,000
 Hey, thanks for your time.

1944
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:53,700
 We know you're busy.

1945
01:50:53,940 --> 01:50:55,180
 Let's do it again soon, okay?

1946
01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:56,300
 You got it.

1947
01:50:56,340 --> 01:50:56,660
 Thanks, guys.

1948
01:50:56,660 --> 01:50:57,120
 Thank you, Elmer.

1949
01:50:57,680 --> 01:51:00,680
 Elmer Pierce hooking up with us at Garner Pierce Autos.

1950
01:51:00,820 --> 01:51:02,980
 BB, the Braves, got to get back on track.

1951
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:06,140
 It has not been a good part of the schedule here, my friend.

1952
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:12,180
 Harold, they left the bats in Atlanta before they went to San Diego, got beat last night 1-0.

1953
01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:16,280
 Looked like I actually got in from Scottsboro, saw the last three innings.

1954
01:51:16,660 --> 01:51:22,140
 I probably wish I wouldn't have because they didn't look like they had a clue what they were doing at the plate.

1955
01:51:22,140 --> 01:51:26,300
 But once again, the next day, today, they've got time for redemption

1956
01:51:26,300 --> 01:51:27,880
 to try to beat those Padres.

1957
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:30,320
 You're not going back to Scottsboro tonight, are you?

1958
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:33,820
 No, the weather would be better, but I don't plan on it.

1959
01:51:34,480 --> 01:51:35,900
 I'm glad you got back to say it.

1960
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:40,240
 The Braves, Padres, late day tonight, right here on 93.9 The Score.

1961
01:51:40,360 --> 01:51:41,600
 It's going to take care of bids for now.

1962
01:51:42,120 --> 01:51:44,780
 On behalf of BB, Greg, James Blair, the entire crew here.

1963
01:51:44,820 --> 01:51:46,800
 Harold Buck, thank you so much for your time today.

1964
01:51:46,900 --> 01:51:49,200
