1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,980
 Now, get ready to roll, Shoals, Decatur, Athens and all of Northwest Alabama and Southern Tennessee. It's time for the Valley's exclusive FM Sports Voice.

2
00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:29,980
 The Boomo Bugg Show. Your exclusive inside track to the Tigers, Tennessee and the rest of the SEC. Now, your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

3
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:39,800
 Good afternoon and welcome in to the Boomo Bugg Show. I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird. Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

4
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:50,580
 Brett Beaird, welcome in. We're the big bosses across the country. Are talking to those guys when they come back from the NFL, the very latest. Welcome in. How are you?

5
00:00:50,580 --> 00:01:03,320
 Happy Tuesday to you and the listeners. Yes, we'll be discussing that throughout the show. Also, Bruce Marshall, Las Vegas Insider, will preview and predict week of zero games in college football.

6
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:13,400
 Martin Newton, the son of CM Newton, an athletic director at Samford, will preview Samford and UNA Saturday night.

7
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:20,180
 But Harold Bugg, I am happy. I am glad. I am giddy. I am ecstatic.

8
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,120
 Finally.

9
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:27,400
 The return of Roger Hoover to the Boomo Bugg Show. Thank you, God.

10
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,260
 Oh, gosh.

11
00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:36,280
 Roger, when I hear those words, you take Visa or MasterCard. Whatever it is, just write it in. It's worth it. He's finally happy.

12
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,760
 You are a miracle worker, amongst other things, when you're not busy. They're on the Alabama Crimson Tide Network.

13
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,200
 Roger Hoover, welcome in. Welcome back. How are you?

14
00:01:45,260 --> 00:01:48,360
 Boomo Bugg. I'm really happy to be back.

15
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,780
 It feels like the start of the season now that we've got this going once again on Tuesdays at noon.

16
00:01:52,780 --> 00:01:59,480
 So, look forward to joining you guys all throughout the athletic year to talk about what I feel like is going to be a very good season.

17
00:01:59,740 --> 00:02:06,260
 Not just about football, but let's win it all. Basketball, baseball, soccer, softball. Let's win it all this year.

18
00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:11,260
 What was it? The famous line from Wall Street. Greed is good. Just win it all.

19
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:13,060
 You know, heck with this second place stuff.

20
00:02:13,460 --> 00:02:19,420
 Roger, why do you say this is, according to your gut, you're a very smart man. Why are you saying this is going to be a special year?

21
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:28,140
 I think enough time has passed for him on the board to be in Tuscaloosa and really have his own imprint on this program.

22
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:32,500
 Not just with the roster. I think we're really starting to see that now that he's in year three.

23
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:41,140
 But his staff members, the familiarity with what it's like to play in the SEC week in, week out, and knowing how to build a roster the way he wants to,

24
00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:44,580
 as opposed to making sure you kept a lot of people happy at first.

25
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:50,480
 And that a little bit continued into the second year with some of the players and the coaches left over from the Saban era.

26
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,540
 So, I think it's truly his program right now.

27
00:02:53,660 --> 00:02:59,240
 And I think while there were a lot of good things last year, obviously getting to the college football playoff,

28
00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:04,480
 appearing in the SEC championship game, having those great SEC wins that Alabama had,

29
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:09,200
 two of the last three times Alabama played, it really didn't go well against Georgia and Atlanta,

30
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,860
 and obviously against Indiana and the Rose Bowl.

31
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,460
 So, there's a hunger that's around this team that kind of reminds you of what it would be like

32
00:03:16,460 --> 00:03:22,100
 the year after Alabama with Coach Saban lost to Clemson in the national championship game,

33
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,280
 came back ten times stronger the next year.

34
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:29,700
 Or, you go back even the beginning of the Saban era, that first loss to Florida in the SEC championship game,

35
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,700
 look what happened the offseason after.

36
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,440
 There's kind of a similar feel around this group right now.

37
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,480
 So, that has me really optimistic with what could be ahead this season.

38
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:41,860
 And the main thing will be just trying to navigate these crazy waters.

39
00:03:42,060 --> 00:03:44,640
 Alabama can have the best regular season possible,

40
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,340
 but it all depends on how they navigate through the college football playoff

41
00:03:48,340 --> 00:03:50,720
 to determine whether this year was success or not.

42
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,120
 But I like the way we're starting.

43
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,700
 I like the way the schedule sets up.

44
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,080
 That's what gives me a lot of confidence.

45
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,740
 Starting with Keelan Russell, I don't think anybody who follows this program,

46
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:01,980
 like some of us, are terribly shocked.

47
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,440
 Obviously, you had to make a decision.

48
00:04:04,660 --> 00:04:06,460
 That's why these guys make the big bucks.

49
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,120
 Their future job security is based on that.

50
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,080
 So, forget about politics and all that stuff.

51
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,140
 This is just based on their expertise, the best man to get the job done.

52
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:19,720
 Roger, your take on Keelan Russell basically doing what a lot of folks thought

53
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,040
 would be the starting quarterback at Alabama this season.

54
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:26,200
 Well, he really went out there and earned his opportunity,

55
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,560
 even with Austin Mack getting the majority of the first team reps

56
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,400
 of the early weeks of fall camp.

57
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,940
 And in the first two scrimmages, whenever Keelan had an opportunity to perform,

58
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:37,180
 he performed at a high level.

59
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:39,660
 He could show that he was a real playmaker.

60
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,100
 And I think you've got the respect of this whole team.

61
00:04:42,220 --> 00:04:46,020
 I think those things were all taken into consideration by Coach DeBoer,

62
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,500
 Coach Grubb, and the entire coaching staff.

63
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:51,460
 And it was pretty evident, being at some of the scrimmages,

64
00:04:51,940 --> 00:04:56,260
 that this was a different level for Keelan Russell operating in this offense

65
00:04:56,260 --> 00:04:58,400
 than what we had seen with Austin Mack.

66
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,300
 And, look, I think Austin Mack can play a lot of winning football,

67
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:03,720
 not just in Alabama, but anywhere in the country.

68
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:07,280
 But Keelan had an ability to really make some plays.

69
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,220
 And even though he wasn't able to be tackled,

70
00:05:09,540 --> 00:05:11,160
 I think there were a few times that, you know,

71
00:05:11,220 --> 00:05:15,260
 some of their restrictions and scrimmage kind of limited even bigger plays

72
00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:17,380
 that we could have seen from Keelan Russell.

73
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:20,140
 So I think he went out and really earned this job the right way.

74
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:21,580
 He's been in the system for a year.

75
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,580
 And I think he's got somebody in Austin Mack that's going to really help him

76
00:05:25,580 --> 00:05:29,060
 on game day and game week in the preparation for these opportunities.

77
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,920
 So I think it's a win-win for everybody involved.

78
00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:35,120
 And I think it's great to have this kind of clarity about that position

79
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,400
 as we get ready for next week in East Carolina.

80
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:38,560
 Absolutely.

81
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,420
 Roger, I think this offensive line is going to be much improved.

82
00:05:43,940 --> 00:05:49,160
 We'll see once they line up against East Carolina in about 10, 11 days.

83
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:52,620
 But Jackson Lloyd, Mal Waltrip, maybe at left guard,

84
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,780
 Rayson Delgotti, Michael Carroll at right guard,

85
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,420
 Evan James at right tackle.

86
00:05:57,540 --> 00:05:59,420
 We'll see how everything works out.

87
00:05:59,420 --> 00:06:03,860
 But Adrian Clem coming in, Richard Owens, the tight end coach.

88
00:06:04,580 --> 00:06:09,660
 Kalen DeBoer has put a lot of effort into improving the offensive line,

89
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:12,020
 thus improving the running game.

90
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,400
 Absolutely.

91
00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:16,480
 And that was a group I really enjoyed getting to see during the scrimmages.

92
00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:18,560
 I thought they performed at a pretty high level,

93
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,260
 kind of with some of those different combinations that were in there,

94
00:06:21,580 --> 00:06:24,400
 rotating Michael Carroll in at different points as well.

95
00:06:24,620 --> 00:06:29,060
 But starting with, you know, Jackson Lloyd looks like a really strong left tackle

96
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:31,280
 and a left tackle that can really move.

97
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:34,980
 And then one guy I love in the center of the line is Rayson Delgotti's center

98
00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:38,880
 because every time he snapped a football, it was on target.

99
00:06:39,260 --> 00:06:42,760
 There were a couple of backups that had some kind of up and down snaps

100
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,380
 that we got to see later on throughout the scrimmage.

101
00:06:45,380 --> 00:06:49,740
 So it almost really made you appreciate how crisp the snaps were from Delgotti

102
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:50,940
 every single time.

103
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,420
 And then held his own blocking as well against guys like Terrence Green

104
00:06:54,420 --> 00:06:58,220
 and Devin Tompkins, the two are monsters on the other side of the line of scrimmage.

105
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,060
 So I really liked what I saw from the offensive line.

106
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:03,760
 And I think that should be another area of optimism,

107
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,900
 knowing that Coach Clem is kind of reworking this line

108
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:09,180
 into his own vision with fresh personnel.

109
00:07:10,380 --> 00:07:13,320
 In the huddle with Roger Hoover, Crimson Ties Sports Network.

110
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,000
 Like a lot of camps, coaches hating to hear this word,

111
00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:19,280
 the I-word injury, banged up, whatever.

112
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,740
 Obviously, Jara Edwards, the latest, at least the latest that we saw anyway,

113
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,100
 added to the list.

114
00:07:24,220 --> 00:07:26,980
 Jeremiah Beam is still trying to come back from last year's injury.

115
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,220
 Your thoughts just about the overall health at this point in camp.

116
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,160
 Yeah, it happens in every single camp.

117
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,900
 And unfortunately, Alabama's been hit a little too often,

118
00:07:37,060 --> 00:07:43,100
 especially AK Deer going down late on first scrimmage after he had performed so well for Alabama.

119
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:46,180
 He and Daniel Hill, Kevin Riley, and Treshawn Brown.

120
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,000
 I mean, that looked like an embarrassment of riches there for a little bit.

121
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,400
 And that's even without EJ Crowell being able to go in the scrimmages.

122
00:07:52,660 --> 00:07:54,180
 So that was a tough one.

123
00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:00,260
 Definitely with Jara Edwards, he's a talented playmaker who's part of his secondary one day.

124
00:08:00,340 --> 00:08:02,160
 But I don't think it has to be this season.

125
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:07,120
 And even early in SEC play, I wasn't even sure how often he'd be able to get on the field

126
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,960
 with the depth of some of those thoughts that Alabama is very fortunate to have.

127
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,580
 If you can afford some injuries, probably the secondary room is the one area where you can afford a few injuries.

128
00:08:16,580 --> 00:08:23,820
 And hopefully this doesn't deter Jara Edwards from turning into the all SEC, all-American-style player we anticipate.

129
00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:28,600
 But to me, the two big ones to keep an eye out are Lottie Brooks, Lottie Brooks,

130
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,820
 trying to work his way back from a minor setback, and then EJ Crowell.

131
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,560
 Those guys can be good to go for ECU.

132
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:41,320
 It'll be interesting to see how well they play considering they haven't practiced much during the month of August.

133
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:45,900
 But if they're able to come in and perform like the playmakers we think they're going to be,

134
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:47,380
 I mean, look out for the team.

135
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,240
 And even once we get to the second half of the season, we may see them even kick it to another level.

136
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:57,520
 So even though Alabama's endured some tough injuries in camp, most notably I think AK Deer,

137
00:08:57,900 --> 00:09:02,440
 I still think Alabama has gone through this process relatively unscathed.

138
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:04,860
 And that's been really good, getting ready for the season.

139
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:05,740
 Absolutely.

140
00:09:06,060 --> 00:09:08,320
 You mentioned this at the beginning of the interview.

141
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:14,900
 Alabama finished last year 13th in the Learfield Cup standings.

142
00:09:15,220 --> 00:09:19,860
 I believe the best finish was 2021 when they finished seventh.

143
00:09:20,540 --> 00:09:21,740
 But you alluded to it.

144
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040
 Softball 56-9.

145
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:26,140
 They get to the World Series.

146
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,320
 Men's cross country nearly did.

147
00:09:28,420 --> 00:09:29,340
 They gave one game.

148
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:31,700
 Men's cross country an SEC title.

149
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,060
 Football 11-4.

150
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,500
 Men's basketball 25-10.

151
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,400
 Sweet 16.

152
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,920
 Baseball, as you well know, 42-21, 18-12.

153
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:47,980
 And oh, by the way, made Roger Hoover's dream to go to the World Series.

154
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,840
 Women's basketball 24-11.

155
00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:52,120
 I agree with you, Roger.

156
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:55,640
 I think this could be another special athletic year.

157
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,520
 Yeah, there's a lot of optimism based on how well everything went a year ago.

158
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:10,500
 And how much Alabama in sports, you know, not named football and men's basketball, continues to learn the transfer portal, continues to pour resources in to NIL.

159
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:17,500
 I think a lot of people probably don't realize that there are a lot of NIL efforts being made for non-football and basketball sports.

160
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,420
 And, you know, I'm lucky I get to call the majority of Alabama soccer matches that are on NBC Network Plus.

161
00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:33,460
 You know, they're off to a 4-0 start this year with ranked wins on the road at Memphis, home this past week, against PCU, the team that went to the Final Four last year.

162
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,380
 And then they won again this past week against Nebraska on the road.

163
00:10:36,380 --> 00:10:39,160
 So, already we're off to a really good start.

164
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:45,760
 And now it's just up to football to start carrying the banner forward and get Alabama fans the kind of start they want for this season.

165
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,160
 Roger, please talk Alabama fans off the edge.

166
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:56,420
 EJ Crowell, what we understand is this kid will be back, so don't go ahead and press any panic buttons.

167
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,320
 You get the impression that this guy came out of high school ranked so highly and didn't want to take any chances.

168
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,120
 They pretty much knew what he had the potential to do.

169
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,420
 You never know until you run against this kind of competition and get tackled at this level.

170
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,960
 It seems like they've kind of bubble wrapped him in a way.

171
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,640
 But from all indications, based on what you're hearing, see if it agrees with us, Roger.

172
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,920
 He will be ready to go, just not right now.

173
00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:22,640
 Yeah, he's getting much, much closer.

174
00:11:22,820 --> 00:11:28,220
 And I think the coaching staff is pretty hopeful about East Carolina, if not in these first few weeks of the season.

175
00:11:28,380 --> 00:11:28,640
 Right.

176
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,960
 And PCU, Kentucky, Florida, Staten.

177
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:37,540
 The good news is Alabama isn't missing him being that every down side back, that Najee Harris or Derrick Henry.

178
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,860
 They're more looking for him to be that second or third guy off the bench, complimenting Daniel Hill.

179
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:51,300
 And then we've seen a really good camp behind Daniel Hill, whether it's Kevin Riley or somebody that had originally no stars when he was being recruited.

180
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:53,460
 He eventually made his way to being a three-star.

181
00:11:53,620 --> 00:11:57,700
 But Treshaun Brown has been an absolute wonder in camp.

182
00:11:57,900 --> 00:11:59,000
 We have loved him.

183
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,440
 I mean, you know, growing up in East Tennessee, the first name that comes to mind is Travis Henry.

184
00:12:03,620 --> 00:12:09,520
 I mean, he looked like Travis Henry on the field, kind of a shorter stature, kind of a thumper that Henry used to be for the ball.

185
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,120
 It's like Treshaun Brown has that with a little more speed, even.

186
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,400
 So I love getting to watch that guy, Treshaun Brown.

187
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:25,320
 And I think he's going to become a fan favorite, probably within the first game that he hasn't already in fall camp, along with Daniel Hill, who is finally healthy.

188
00:12:25,460 --> 00:12:27,720
 He wasn't fully healthy at all last season.

189
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:38,000
 And Daniel is going to be dynamic, not just running the football, but he is excellent coming out of the backfield, catching screen passes, going downfield and running back routes to get involved in the passing game.

190
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,980
 So, again, I think that's a good position for Alabama.

191
00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:45,900
 If there is a little bit of injury adversity, they can overcome it with some of the bodies they have there.

192
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:51,540
 And certainly when E.J. Crowell is able to play and be healthy, I think he's going to help that group.

193
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:57,080
 And the good thing is not every pressure of this offense is on his shoulders going into the field.

194
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:02,120
 There are more people that are able to pick up the load, and we just can't wait to see E.J. on the field for the time.

195
00:13:02,620 --> 00:13:03,020
 Absolutely.

196
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,600
 You mentioned soccer.

197
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:06,980
 You're already busy doing that.

198
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,960
 Talk about your week now.

199
00:13:09,540 --> 00:13:12,420
 Hey, Coach, Crimson Drive is back.

200
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:19,920
 In fact, you've got to get an interview with Alabama soccer player Mason Smith, volleyball player Laney Hennessy.

201
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,340
 Any changes to the radio broadcast?

202
00:13:24,340 --> 00:13:32,720
 A week from Saturday, I believe it would be 8 a.m., it was three hours before kickoff with the radio crew.

203
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,540
 Talk about Roger's week and radio broadcasting, et cetera.

204
00:13:38,340 --> 00:13:43,620
 Yeah, we're excited to have Crimson Drive for the final time just once a week coming up this Thursday.

205
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,220
 And then starting next week, and this week, we'll be kind of focused on more on volleyball and soccer.

206
00:13:48,220 --> 00:13:51,100
 But once we get into the next week, it's all ECU prep.

207
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,340
 The show changes pretty much football only.

208
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,900
 There's some football player interviews, which we're going to share at a later date.

209
00:13:57,220 --> 00:14:03,260
 But Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2 o'clock, we'll have all those exclusive interviews right there on the CTS and YouTube channel.

210
00:14:03,660 --> 00:14:05,340
 Radio-wise, we are good to go.

211
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,380
 We've got the exact same crew as a couple years ago.

212
00:14:08,580 --> 00:14:09,980
 We've got to go back to 2024.

213
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,820
 Damien Square was our sideline reporter.

214
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,840
 Damien is back with us.

215
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:17,100
 He'll be roaming the sidelines for us once again.

216
00:14:17,220 --> 00:14:20,100
 And then up in the booth, we'll have Chris Stewart on play-by-play.

217
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,460
 Tyler Watts is our color analyst once again.

218
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:23,840
 I'll be the host.

219
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:29,700
 And then right next to me, helping out Chris, will be our spotter, Butch Owens, who's doing it since the 1980s.

220
00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:34,720
 And then Tom Stipe, speaking of the 80s, will make sure we are heard.

221
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,440
 Because if he doesn't do his job, you won't hear anything today.

222
00:14:38,780 --> 00:14:41,100
 So he's got the most important job in the booth.

223
00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:44,800
 Tom Stipe's ready to go for another season of Alabama football.

224
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,800
 We're going to have Christian Miller join me a lot pre-game in that first hour.

225
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,820
 We've got eight hours of game day coverage coming out from the Crimson Side Sports Network.

226
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,100
 And look, I study broadcasts from all around the country.

227
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,440
 I don't think there is another crew that is dedicated to their school and their program

228
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:07,780
 and dedicated to giving the fans a little something extra than what we put in each and every Saturday.

229
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,320
 And I certainly hope fans can join us starting at 8 and certainly at 11 o'clock for the kickoff.

230
00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:14,700
 And the congregation said amen.

231
00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:19,000
 By the way, thank you so much for helping Brett get in a good mood.

232
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,420
 The check is in the mail.

233
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,260
 If it bounces, I now live in Canada, okay?

234
00:15:24,660 --> 00:15:25,300
 There you go.

235
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,700
 I mean, you guys are so far north, it might as well be Canada, right?

236
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:28,220
 There you go.

237
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,020
 Good luck.

238
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,420
 Beat Jasper this weekend.

239
00:15:31,660 --> 00:15:32,360
 We're losing 40 down.

240
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:32,960
 There you go.

241
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,620
 There you go.

242
00:15:33,660 --> 00:15:34,860
 Hey, thanks so much, Roger.

243
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:35,900
 Good to hook back up with you.

244
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,240
 You stay safe down there, okay?

245
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:38,840
 You guys do that.

246
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:39,420
 Thanks for having me on.

247
00:15:39,420 --> 00:15:39,640
 Thank you, buddy.

248
00:15:40,340 --> 00:15:41,660
 Roger Hoover hooking up with us.

249
00:15:41,660 --> 00:15:44,020
 This is the Crimson Tide Sports Network.

250
00:15:44,180 --> 00:15:45,200
 He's all over the SEC.

251
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,040
 He's Jim Gomm, and he's next here on the Mimbo Bug Show.

252
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:48,640
 Stay with us.

253
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:58,660
 It doesn't matter if you're running drills at the park, playing pickup on a Saturday, or sinking the final putt.

254
00:15:58,660 --> 00:16:03,540
 When you compete with your friends with Michelob Ultra on the line, competition isn't that friendly.

255
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:04,860
 The trash talk?

256
00:16:05,540 --> 00:16:06,280
 Next level.

257
00:16:06,620 --> 00:16:07,280
 And the stakes?

258
00:16:07,740 --> 00:16:09,280
 Oh, those are crystal clear.

259
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,680
 With only 95 calories and superior smooth taste, it's the ultimate trophy.

260
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,700
 Superior is worth playing for.

261
00:16:15,980 --> 00:16:18,360
 Michelob Ultra, superior light beer.

262
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:19,580
 Enjoy responsibly.

265
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,820
 DQ presents the Blizzard Double Flip Deal.

266
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,000
 For a limited time, when you buy one Blizzard treat, you get a second for just 99 cents.

267
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,480
 That's two Blizzards, two spoons, two flavors, and two flips.

268
00:16:35,020 --> 00:16:40,620
 So don't miss out on the Blizzard Double Flip Deal, available only for a limited time and happening now at DQ.

269
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:46,680
 Because the only thing better than a Blizzard treat is a second Blizzard treat for just 99 cents.

270
00:16:47,220 --> 00:16:48,400
 It's a deal to flip for.

271
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,160

 Imagine you're reading Pride and Prejudice.

275
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:56,640
 Except you're not reading it.

276
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,420
 Harris Dickinson and Marissa Abella are reading it to you on Audible.

277
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,040
 Her barbs sting you.

278
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,380
 This coldness sends a shiver up your spine.

279
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:06,080
 Your heart aches.

280
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,340
 Your ears burn.

281
00:17:07,340 --> 00:17:11,640
 You yearn for Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy to profess their undying love for one another.

282
00:17:11,940 --> 00:17:13,680
 You can't bear it any longer.

283
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,500
 Well, maybe a chapter longer.

284
00:17:17,180 --> 00:17:20,140
 Performance is so good, you'll give love a second chance.

285
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:21,100

289
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,620
 Paul Skeens returns to the pump tonight and I'll be fading him again.

290
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,740
 It's clear over his past few starts that Skeens is making major tweaks to his mechanics to try and rediscover his velocity.

291
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:36,180
 The Pirates are also taking it easy with his pitch count.

292
00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:38,480
 Hasn't thrown more than 81 pitches his last two starts.

293
00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:40,420
 Hasn't made it more than five innings in his last four.

294
00:17:40,780 --> 00:17:45,000
 His over-under outs tonight against the Padres is 15 and a half, a.k.a. five in the third innings.

295
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,100
 I'm taking the under.

296
00:17:46,220 --> 00:17:48,520
 I think it'll be another relatively short outing for Skeens.

297
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:49,500

 When I lost my mom, she was only 46.

 And I lost my dad to cancer.

303
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,160
 It was the worst pain I ever felt.

304
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:05,260
 It made me think, what will happen with the people I love when my time is up?

00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,260
 It was the worst pain I ever felt.

322
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:42,560
 It made me think, what will happen with the people I love when my time is up?

323
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,440

 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

396
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,100
 Welcome back in, Brett Beaird.

397
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,520
 Did you do your homework last night?

398
00:21:59,740 --> 00:22:02,340
 Because if you didn't, it's pop quiz time.

399
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,400
 I'll be honest, show of hands, how many people know the name Blaze Berlowitz?

400
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:09,700
 Do you want to give me your answer, Brett Beaird?

401
00:22:09,780 --> 00:22:17,200
 He is the, now announced this morning, the starting quarterback for the Vanderbilt Commodores.

402
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:19,420
 Oh, my goodness gracious.

403
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,400
 You passed the test on your pop quiz, and I'm sure Jim Gumm will do the same.

404
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,760
 He's the owner and editor of the BlitzSports.com family and the fine author of Conference Pride.

405
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:31,860
 Jim, welcome in, and welcome to the Blaze.

406
00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:32,620
 How are you?

407
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,680
 I'm doing good, fellas.

408
00:22:35,740 --> 00:22:36,160
 How are y'all?

409
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:36,560
 Hey, Jim.

410
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,720
 Man, we're doing all right.

411
00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:40,240
 This is like daffodils in the spring.

412
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,600
 You're popping up all over the place as far as these coaches naming the starting quarterback.

413
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,080
 As Brett alluded to it there, a lot of folks thought, not so fast, my friend.

414
00:22:48,140 --> 00:22:50,160
 But Blaze beats out the competition.

415
00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:55,240
 Where do you start in breaking down the respective new starting quarterbacks in the SEC?

416
00:22:56,780 --> 00:22:59,320
 Man, I'm telling you, it's fun.

417
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,100
 It's exciting.

418
00:23:00,580 --> 00:23:01,780
 Listen, here's my thing.

419
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:11,520
 It was so fun to do, you know, to talk to everyone around my area because everyone's so invested in Tennessee.

420
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,200
 You know, face on Brandon was announced yesterday.

421
00:23:14,420 --> 00:23:17,640
 And the fan base is all excited.

422
00:23:17,780 --> 00:23:20,440
 You know, they're going to go undefeated and play for a national championship.

423
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:32,820
 You know, everyone's excited, and I love it because, you know, that's what we love about college football is everyone's so excited this time of year, man.

424
00:23:33,580 --> 00:23:45,100
 Well, you know, we're going to break it down, and I promise you, it isn't amazing, Jim, how fast fans go from basically being so full of optimism to cussing like a sailor in no time after that first loss.

425
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:49,220
 It's amazing how they lose their religion after losing the game, is it not?

426
00:23:49,340 --> 00:23:51,620
 But you do a good job following it all.

427
00:23:51,740 --> 00:23:53,660
 Before we get into some of the particulars, talk to us.

428
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:58,840
 If we take a big sniff, we can almost smell the first edition of the Blitz coming out.

429
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,020
 Can you talk to us about when we can be looking for that?

430
00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:03,880
 Actually, I've already sent it out.

431
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,680
 You guys, did y'all not get yours?

432
00:24:06,540 --> 00:24:07,320
 I did not.

433
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,160
 No, no, no.

434
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:13,260
 Okay, well, we need to double-check that and make sure because you should have gotten it.

435
00:24:13,580 --> 00:24:13,860
 Great.

436
00:24:14,260 --> 00:24:15,040
 You know what?

437
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:16,700
 Check your spam.

438
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,860
 If nothing else, I'll send it again.

439
00:24:19,060 --> 00:24:19,720
 Please do.

440
00:24:19,940 --> 00:24:20,900
 Please do, Jim.

441
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,740
 Yeah, but we're excited, man.

442
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:29,860
 I mean, listen, we all know that week zero is what it is.

443
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,240
 By the way, this time next year, week zero will actually be week one.

444
00:24:33,460 --> 00:24:33,620
 Yeah.

445
00:24:33,620 --> 00:24:38,160
 But, you know, we're excited about what few games we've got coming up this weekend.

446
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:44,500
 But, obviously, around Labor Day is when that's when the real stuff starts to happen.

447
00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:50,300
 And I'm just wondering how many former NFL football players are going to be playing college football.

448
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:53,520
 Jim, are you for that or not?

449
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,680
 Well, I respect at least the Big Ten has come out and said, no.

450
00:24:56,820 --> 00:25:00,640
 Greg Sankey, I think he's basically seeing which way the wind blows before he knows which way to go.

451
00:25:00,740 --> 00:25:02,080
 You know this is a legal issue.

452
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,880
 But, to me, this is the biggest no-brainer in the world, is it not?

453
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,100
 It is the biggest no-brainer in the world.

454
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,100
 Listen, here's the thing.

455
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,540
 The Big Ten's come out, they're going to make a rule.

456
00:25:12,020 --> 00:25:12,800
 And you know what?

457
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:14,380
 They're probably going to get sued.

458
00:25:15,220 --> 00:25:17,020
 Here's the way I look at it.

459
00:25:17,420 --> 00:25:21,080
 I don't care if everyone says, oh, yeah, you're allowed to do it.

460
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,180
 The coaches just need to be told, you can do it, but you're not going to do it.

461
00:25:26,180 --> 00:25:30,240
 And the athletic director or the president says, no, don't do it.

462
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:36,600
 Just because these guys are out there and they could, that doesn't mean they should.

463
00:25:37,260 --> 00:25:41,480
 So, I put it on the schools themselves.

464
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,400
 Don't do it.

465
00:25:43,540 --> 00:25:46,460
 The youth, your locker should be locked in right now.

466
00:25:46,580 --> 00:25:51,560
 You shouldn't be adding guys that were kept from NFL practice squads.

467
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,060
 But, you know what?

468
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:55,940
 It's hard to believe we actually are having this conversation.

469
00:25:55,940 --> 00:25:56,360
 That's right.

470
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,020
 I just think it's ridiculous.

471
00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:02,480
 Jim, we've already gotten a precedent or one of them.

472
00:26:02,940 --> 00:26:07,300
 Greg Sankey tells Alabama, don't play Charles Bidiaco anymore.

473
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:14,660
 You know, but when he comes over from the G League, and of course, Lane Kiffin is involved

474
00:26:14,660 --> 00:26:23,060
 in a controversy, former Ole Miss player wanting to go to enter the transfer portal and go to LSU.

475
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,880
 But, Jim, I've been saying this for a while, but my dad was a former attorney and judge.

476
00:26:28,900 --> 00:26:32,540
 And I get all of the injunctions.

477
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,900
 But every organization has rules.

478
00:26:36,540 --> 00:26:42,620
 And they've got to have some jurisdiction to be able to enforce the rules.

479
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:48,320
 And if you're a conference and you say, look, this player on this team can't play, he shouldn't play.

480
00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:49,880
 He shouldn't play.

481
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,440
 And if he does play, there needs to be ramifications if he does play.

482
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:53,660
 Thank you.

483
00:26:53,860 --> 00:27:03,320
 There needs to be penalties saying, if you do this, listen, and give him a stiff warning and say, you haven't done it yet, but if you do it, this is what's going to happen.

484
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:12,380
 If you're ineligible for this, or you're going to be, you know, I don't know, just something, just let him know that, you know what, just don't do it.

485
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:13,380
 And here's my thing.

486
00:27:13,460 --> 00:27:19,400
 You've got the president, the coach, he can get hired and fired.

487
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,520
 So, he is not the ultimate boss.

488
00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:22,640
 There's someone above him.

489
00:27:22,980 --> 00:27:26,440
 Someone above him needs to tell him, no, you're not doing this.

490
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:26,980
 Yeah.

491
00:27:27,540 --> 00:27:28,620
 Well, it goes back to mama.

492
00:27:28,820 --> 00:27:34,840
 Did you ever, I don't know about your mom, but if my mom ever said it, I can do it all right, but I promise you there would be consequences.

493
00:27:35,220 --> 00:27:38,200
 That's one of the first words I learned to spell growing up was consequences.

494
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:48,920
 But your thoughts as far as now that the quarterback's position is pretty settled, GM, how has that changed your perspective as far as ranking the teams around the SEC coming in?

495
00:27:50,360 --> 00:28:01,120
 Well, you know, it makes it a little easier, but there's, there again, if these guys are, you know, haven't been, haven't proved themselves, it's still that what if thing.

496
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:01,480
 Yeah.

497
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:09,320
 Listen, I think, I, we all think that we know, but we don't know until we watch them play.

498
00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:16,260
 I mean, I've seen guys that came in with all the hype in the world and just turned out they just weren't as good as advertised.

499
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:24,760
 And then you get some other guys that are a two-star or, you know, and he wows you and you're like, boy, I didn't see that coming.

500
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:41,260
 And so, you know, so I guess it's one of those things where I, it probably will affect me a little bit, but at the end of the day, I'm going to look at the totality of the roster and I'm going to use that as much as anything as opposed to who was named the starting quarterback.

501
00:28:41,940 --> 00:28:42,460
 Absolutely.

502
00:28:42,820 --> 00:28:50,000
 Listen, tell us again where our listeners can get online and subscribe to the blitz.

503
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:56,620
 Some of your categories, you have some really great stuff and, and also you're a historian of the game.

504
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:03,860
 I know several of the copies had pictures of the old stadiums, which I thought was unique.

505
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:10,100
 Where can our listeners get online again and what were some of your topics in the first blitz?

506
00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:11,140
 Yeah.

507
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,100
 And I'll make sure I get y'all an issue, by the way.

508
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:25,540
 You can go to the blitzsports.com, but the best way to reach me is just email me direct at jimgum.blitz at gmail.com.

509
00:29:26,020 --> 00:29:36,620
 But like, one of the things I've got in this issue is a look at all the FCS schools that have defeated FBS schools from 2002 through last year.

510
00:29:36,820 --> 00:29:37,040
 That's neat.

511
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,680
 And it's interesting because, I mean, last year, I don't know if y'all know, there were just four.

512
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:48,180
 There were just four FCS teams that beat FBS teams where there's been some years where it was like 15 to almost 20, you know.

513
00:29:48,340 --> 00:29:48,500
 Wow.

514
00:29:48,500 --> 00:29:53,080
 So, I mean, you see it varies pretty dramatically from year to year.

515
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:54,160
 We've got that.

516
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,620
 We've got a decade-by-decade winningest teams from the 40s to the 2020s.

517
00:29:59,740 --> 00:30:03,780
 So, we've got that, and then we've got, of course, the AP and the coaches poll.

518
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:04,880
 We've got those in there.

519
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,820
 But we've got all sorts of stuff.

520
00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:07,760
 We've got all the schedules.

521
00:30:07,980 --> 00:30:15,100
 We've got all the games that are going to be coming up, you know, this coming week and the following week around Labor Day for week one.

522
00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:15,860
 So, we've got that.

523
00:30:16,180 --> 00:30:17,220
 So, we've got all sorts of things.

524
00:30:17,300 --> 00:30:18,880
 I've also got a pretty neat thing.

525
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:24,440
 I like to buy the preseason magazines, Phil Steele, Athlon, Lindy's, and Sporting News.

526
00:30:24,820 --> 00:30:27,720
 And I've got their top 25 lists on the front page.

527
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:27,800
 Great.

528
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:28,380
 Yeah.

529
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:28,860
 Yeah.

530
00:30:28,860 --> 00:30:31,360
 So, we can hold those guys accountable, too.

531
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:31,880
 Yes.

532
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,660
 Sounds like now the hard work's done.

533
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,040
 You might be able to kick back and enjoy some of this stuff, Jim.

534
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:45,840
 This man is upon us, I believe, not only two more nights because technically week zero kicks off on a Thursday night.

535
00:30:45,940 --> 00:30:46,820
 It's due to that first Saturday.

536
00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:48,260
 So, kick back and enjoy.

537
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,420
 And thank you so much.

538
00:30:49,460 --> 00:30:51,280
 Let's do this again soon, okay?

539
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,280
 Absolutely.

 Twisted Tea, the refreshing thrill ride of flavor.

00:31:46,620 --> 00:31:51,020
 Recreating its classic role is the hard iced tea that goes down smooth.

556
00:31:51,740 --> 00:31:54,700
 Twisted Tea doesn't just taste like real iced tea.

557
00:31:54,980 --> 00:31:59,340
 It's made with real brewed tea and a 5% kick of alcohol.

 Even with higher stroke risk from etrial fibrillation,

574
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,040
 an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem.

575
00:32:48,020 --> 00:32:52,180
 In a clinical study, Eliquis Apixaban reduces stroke risk

576
00:32:52,180 --> 00:32:54,180
 and has less major bleeding than warfarin.

577
00:32:54,740 --> 00:32:57,480
 Don't stop prescription Eliquis without asking your doctor.

578
00:32:57,740 --> 00:32:58,980
 Stroke risk may increase.

579
00:32:59,180 --> 00:33:01,660
 Eliquis can cause serious and potentially fatal bleeding.

580
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,820
 Don't take if you have an artificial heart valve,

581
00:33:03,820 --> 00:33:06,320
 abnormal bleeding, or antiphospholipid syndrome.

582
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,140
 While taking, you may bruise more easily or bleed longer.

583
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,700
 A spinal injection increases blood clot risk, which may cause paralysis.

585
00:33:16,260 --> 00:33:19,720

586
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:25,020
 Aspirin products, NSAIDs, SSRIs, SNRIs, and blood thinners increase bleeding risk.

587
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,520
 Tell your doctor about planned medical or dental procedures.

00:36:21,460 --> 00:36:22,980
 Chris, right on brand.

651
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:24,040
 Hanging up on himself.

652
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:24,780
 Best call ever.

653
00:36:24,860 --> 00:36:25,960
 He's now in the Hall of Fame.

654
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,040
 Go find on.

655
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,680
 Weekdays at 3 Eastern on the ESPN app and the SEC Network.

656
00:36:32,740 --> 00:36:33,700
 The Score.

657
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,900
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

658
00:36:39,540 --> 00:36:40,540
 Welcome back in.

659
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,460
 You can bet you he's loading up on his Wheaties because he's going to need a lot of energy.

660
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,860
 He's got in a place called Las Vegas with college football season looming.

661
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,300
 Bruce Marshall's the guru out in the desert.

662
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,360
 He's in there with a Las Vegas insider.

663
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:54,540
 Gold sheet wager.

664
00:36:54,740 --> 00:36:55,700
 Winners and whiners.

665
00:36:55,860 --> 00:36:57,000
 CBS Sportsline.

666
00:36:57,140 --> 00:36:58,420
 Bruce Marshall, welcome in.

667
00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:59,000
 How are you?

668
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:00,580
 Pretty good.

669
00:37:00,660 --> 00:37:01,620
 We have arrived.

670
00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:02,340
 There you go.

671
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,820
 Bruce, are you ready for that Lidlifter?

672
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:13,020
 Maine and Townsend amongst the first games of the season, not in September, but Thursday night.

673
00:37:13,140 --> 00:37:19,120
 We're basically just over 48 hours away, and I know you've anticipated this Maine and Townsend event for a long time.

674
00:37:19,260 --> 00:37:25,340
 But kidding aside, your thoughts coming in, how do things change as far as college football and Vegas?

675
00:37:26,540 --> 00:37:28,700
 Well, Black Bears and Tigers, I can't wait.

676
00:37:28,700 --> 00:37:29,360
 There you go.

677
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,060
 It should be a big one on a Thursday.

678
00:37:32,500 --> 00:37:33,560
 I mean, not much different.

679
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,440
 I mean, it's just every year there's twists and turns with each of the different schools.

680
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:42,620
 But I think always at the start of the season in college, there's a little bit of trepidation amongst guys like me.

681
00:37:43,420 --> 00:37:54,400
 A little bit more so nowadays because so many of these teams have done complete, complete flips of their roster and very few returnees.

682
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:59,280
 But you're generally, in a lot of cases, you're replacing them with guys who have played elsewhere.

683
00:37:59,420 --> 00:38:02,200
 So it's not like you're coming in with a whole new bunch of freshmen.

684
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:07,500
 So really watch those first couple weeks carefully, and we don't have a lot of action this weekend.

685
00:38:07,620 --> 00:38:09,980
 We've got a few games to watch.

686
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,740
 Belichick, who do you know, over in Dublin.

687
00:38:15,220 --> 00:38:21,560
 By the way, that Dublin game, I wouldn't take that game if I was somebody because the teams that have lost that game, their season has been wrecked.

688
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:35,600
 Look at Nebraska in 22 and Navy in 23 and Florida State, you know, two years ago and last year, it was Kansas State never seemed to recover from that loss to Iowa State.

689
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:43,980
 So the loser beware, season could be no good to be 0-1 and you haven't even played a game in your own country yet.

690
00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:45,260
 I agree with you.

691
00:38:45,340 --> 00:38:49,040
 I would not do that game if I had the option of doing it.

692
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,440
 But let's look at it.

693
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,420
 North Carolina, TCU, and Dublin, Ireland.

694
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,400
 I believe TCU is an eight-point favorite.

695
00:38:56,580 --> 00:38:58,020
 Correct me if I'm wrong.

696
00:38:58,140 --> 00:39:02,600
 Both of these teams brought in a lot of players, and particularly North Carolina.

697
00:39:02,780 --> 00:39:05,940
 Belichick wants to certainly have a better year.

698
00:39:06,780 --> 00:39:09,980
 North Carolina bringing back Demon Jones.

699
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,040
 Don't Walker, preseason watch.

700
00:39:13,340 --> 00:39:15,240
 There are some good players on this.

701
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,640
 Your thoughts, North Carolina and TCU.

702
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:25,260
 Well, they've brought in, you know, Billy Edwards, who seems to have had like a 10-year college career quarterback.

703
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:26,300
 I've been at Maryland.

704
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:26,760
 Yes.

705
00:39:27,860 --> 00:39:32,620
 And he seemed to have been there for many years and went to Wisconsin, but he got hurt in the opener last year.

706
00:39:32,700 --> 00:39:34,620
 So he never really got to play for the Badgers.

707
00:39:34,620 --> 00:39:39,020
 And then, you know, they moved him out and he got a chance to come here to North Carolina.

708
00:39:39,180 --> 00:39:39,720
 We will see.

709
00:39:39,900 --> 00:39:41,160
 I mean, I've been...

710
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:45,200
 Maryland only won one Big Ten game with Edwards, a quarterback, a couple years ago.

711
00:39:45,980 --> 00:39:50,260
 Not that it was necessarily his fault, but I mean, I'm still not convinced on him.

712
00:39:50,380 --> 00:39:53,340
 Their quarterback last year, Gio Lopez, is now at Wake Forest.

713
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:53,680
 Yes.

714
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,700
 So we will see.

715
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,860
 I'm more interested in what Sonny Dykes has going.

716
00:39:58,940 --> 00:40:00,760
 You remember this opening last year?

717
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,600
 Remember all that Ballyhoo, that Monday night game?

718
00:40:03,140 --> 00:40:10,140
 And TCU just blew the doors off North Carolina at Chapel Hill and that sort of shut the bellachick talk after the first week last year.

719
00:40:11,180 --> 00:40:13,720
 Now, Hoover, their quarterback from last year, very productive.

720
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,540
 The last couple years, you know, he's moved to Indiana.

721
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,260
 This is an interesting thing that Sonny Dykes has done.

722
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:26,180
 He's got, apparently, an Ivy League quarterback, Jaden Craig from Harvard, pretty productive in the Ivies.

723
00:40:27,620 --> 00:40:31,600
 We've seen a couple of Ivy players move up.

724
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:38,740
 I can't recall a quarterback in recent years who's made a transfer like that, but we will see.

725
00:40:38,740 --> 00:40:42,960
 They seem to think he can pull the trigger on this go-go offense for TCU.

726
00:40:44,140 --> 00:40:49,960
 Listen, last year, Belichick had such a bad feel, and I don't know what's going on there.

727
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:55,780
 I don't even think Michael Lombardi is, you know, even, you know, he's suspended right now, the football GM.

728
00:40:57,100 --> 00:41:00,120
 You know, the personnel mix they brought in last year was not that good.

729
00:41:00,660 --> 00:41:07,120
 So I don't know if they could work worse this year, but I think just based on what we've seen from these programs in recent years,

730
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:12,160
 TCU squeezes a lot more out of what they've got, I would not take North Carolina in this game.

731
00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:18,840
 Maybe weekly on TCU is not a game I'm going to play this weekend, but I'm definitely not interested in the Tar Heels

732
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,600
 until we see something more from these guys.

733
00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:22,160
 You better listen to him.

734
00:41:22,220 --> 00:41:26,260
 He's Bruce Marshall, the guru in a place called Las Vegas, which is always a fun place.

735
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:29,860
 It's kind of like the opening round of the March Madness.

736
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:37,900
 In that opening round, there's always a giant killer, and it seems to be the case with week one, week zero, if you don't have counted, of college football.

737
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:46,240
 Bruce, in the eyes of the Vegas gurus, who will be the biggest giant killer in either week zero or week one?

738
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:48,840
 In other words, the biggest upset on the schedule.

739
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:55,600
 I have got an interesting one to look at next week.

740
00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:07,980
 There's not enough games to get really interested, but I have a feeling Fresno State's going to play USC really tough.

741
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:14,280
 That's a Friday game, and it's a Fox game next week.

742
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,020
 But this is now Fresno State is now in the Pac-12.

743
00:42:18,260 --> 00:42:24,000
 It's not the Pac-12 that they always dream about joining for all these years, but they are in whatever power of the snooze,

744
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,960
 which is like another version of the Mountain West, but there they are, and they may be the best team in that loop.

745
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:29,780
 They've got an experienced team.

746
00:42:29,780 --> 00:42:36,620
 This transfer quarterback from Maryland, Martin, is supposed to be a real gunslinger, but they're physical, they're big,

747
00:42:36,740 --> 00:42:40,240
 and USC is talking really, really big.

748
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,020
 But I've seen this thing with Lincoln Riley.

749
00:42:44,180 --> 00:42:45,160
 We saw it at Oklahoma.

750
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:49,560
 His first team was his best one there, and it just kind of slid down a little bit from there.

751
00:42:50,300 --> 00:42:51,540
 Same thing that's happened at SC.

752
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,960
 I don't know about this Gary Patterson hire as a defensive coordinator.

753
00:42:56,180 --> 00:42:57,040
 I mean, they're talking it up.

754
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,140
 We've got a Hall of Famer now as our defensive coordinator.

755
00:42:59,260 --> 00:43:01,020
 Well, he also hasn't coached in five years.

756
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,300
 And his last few years at TCU were not good.

757
00:43:06,700 --> 00:43:09,060
 So, I mean, has the game passed him by?

758
00:43:09,140 --> 00:43:10,760
 And they had a state-of-the-art coordinator.

759
00:43:10,940 --> 00:43:15,440
 Danton Lin, supposedly, the last couple of years, went to Penn State.

760
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,040
 Matt Campbell's new staff.

761
00:43:18,740 --> 00:43:20,900
 USC's a big favorite in this game.

762
00:43:21,380 --> 00:43:23,100
 And about a 23-point favorite.

763
00:43:23,180 --> 00:43:24,140
 I think it's going to be a tough game.

764
00:43:24,340 --> 00:43:25,160
 Fresno's going to play them tough.

765
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,780
 North Carolina State at Virginia.

766
00:43:27,980 --> 00:43:31,480
 This is a 2-30 game on ESPN Saturday afternoon.

767
00:43:31,780 --> 00:43:33,780
 C.J. Bailey is intriguing.

768
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,440
 The North Carolina State quarterback.

769
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,540
 Virginia's defense is supposed to be better.

770
00:43:40,300 --> 00:43:42,720
 Virginia, I believe, is a six-point favorite.

771
00:43:43,020 --> 00:43:44,160
 Check me on that.

772
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:49,160
 North Carolina State at Virginia, an ACC conference matchup.

773
00:43:49,780 --> 00:43:51,200
 I kind of like NC State.

774
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,360
 Now, a note on this game, there will be some preseason publications.

775
00:43:54,660 --> 00:43:56,800
 People mention this game being played in Brazil.

776
00:43:57,220 --> 00:43:57,980
 That is not happening.

777
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,420
 They couldn't pull it off, so they're playing in Charlottesville instead.

778
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:04,820
 So, keep that in mind, it's a Virginia home game.

779
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,520
 Played a wild game early last year.

780
00:44:06,620 --> 00:44:08,020
 NC State knows them out at the end.

781
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,760
 Bailey's another one of these guys who's been around for a long time, it seems.

782
00:44:15,300 --> 00:44:16,460
 And they've kept him there.

783
00:44:16,500 --> 00:44:17,380
 He is a playmaker.

784
00:44:17,380 --> 00:44:22,500
 NC State last year started very quick, and we've seen that before from Dave Doran's sides.

785
00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:27,180
 And then they sort of end up, you know, 6, 6, 5, 7, and 5 every year.

786
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:33,560
 But I think they're a pretty live dog here because they're generally competitive.

787
00:44:34,180 --> 00:44:36,600
 Virginia breaking in a new quarterback, Bo Pribula.

788
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,520
 We saw him last year at Mizzou.

789
00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:42,300
 But he's new coming in here to Virginia.

790
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,980
 And I know they're kind of excited there because they had a good year.

791
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:52,060
 But a lot of that was Chandler Morris, the quarterback, had a really good goal last year for Coach Elliott there at Virginia.

792
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:54,080
 I would probably take NC State.

793
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,240
 This game landed 66 points last year total.

794
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,700
 The total we're looking at is about 55 here.

795
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,140
 I could also see it going over just because Bailey's kind of a live wire.

796
00:45:03,900 --> 00:45:05,540
 I could see it kind of going back and forth.

797
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,760
 So maybe a little bit NC State, a little bit over as well on Saturday, Charlottesville, Virginia.

798
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:11,920
 How you have you, Bruce Marshall.

799
00:45:12,060 --> 00:45:14,060
 Again, Vegas Insider, amongst other places.

800
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,620
 Bruce, since the last time we chatted, we now know the starting quarterback at Alabama.

801
00:45:18,620 --> 00:45:23,760
 I'm assuming you weren't any more shocked than the rest of us who follow this program on a daily basis.

802
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:34,540
 In your mind, how does this in any shape, form, or fashion affect how Alabama, in your opinion, as far as before this decision and the SEC now, they're popping up all over the place.

803
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,640
 Vanderbilt named theirs, Florida named theirs, Tennessee named theirs.

804
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:44,900
 Now that we now know some of these guys who are going to be starting a quarterback in the SEC, how does that affect Vegas' view of these teams?

805
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,820
 Well, again, Harold, I think we're going to kind of have to see them.

806
00:45:48,340 --> 00:45:50,280
 This isn't a huge surprise at Bama.

807
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,760
 We kind of thought Keelan Russell was going to be the guy, and now Coach Moore finally announces it.

808
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,700
 But that's sort of where we thought this was going.

809
00:45:59,380 --> 00:46:01,620
 Again, we'll see, because, I mean, he hasn't really played.

810
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,460
 And now, you know, the Russell we see in October might be different than the one we see in September.

811
00:46:06,660 --> 00:46:11,480
 So I'll have to, you know, think what I want to do with this game against East Carolina next week.

812
00:46:11,620 --> 00:46:12,960
 But no surprise here.

813
00:46:12,980 --> 00:46:15,140
 But it looks like, you know, they're sort of going.

814
00:46:15,140 --> 00:46:19,500
 They think there's some upside there, and they're willing to take a role with the quarterback.

815
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,920
 Without much experience, do they think he can get really good?

816
00:46:22,100 --> 00:46:29,420
 Tennessee is doing the same thing with this freshman, Faison Brandon, who they're very high on, pretty well regarded.

817
00:46:29,740 --> 00:46:34,560
 But we kept hearing, we did not hear most of the spring and summer that he was going to start.

818
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,340
 We did sort of hear that Russell was for Alabama.

819
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,980
 But now it looks like Coach Heupel is gone for the upside there.

820
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:48,840
 The one that surprised me a little bit was Vanderbilt, because we had heard all this hype about Jared Curtis, and they're still high on him.

821
00:46:49,340 --> 00:46:54,940
 Although Berlowitz, who's been the backup the last couple of years, is apparently going to get the start, and they didn't play until next week.

822
00:46:55,540 --> 00:47:05,360
 He did transfer over from New Mexico State with Pavia and Tim Beck, and Jerry Kill, and Tim Beck, the coordinator, does some Pavia things.

823
00:47:05,580 --> 00:47:08,100
 I think he's a little more mobile.

824
00:47:08,700 --> 00:47:12,120
 You see, he does, you know, he plays a little bit like Pavia, if not as good.

825
00:47:12,260 --> 00:47:19,980
 But it looks like Vanderbilt likes that sort of, you know, versatility a bit more, and maybe Curtis, you know, a little bit more of a pro-style quarterback.

826
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:21,120
 We'll see.

827
00:47:21,220 --> 00:47:25,900
 I mean, all these guys, we will know more about them in a couple weeks than right after that.

828
00:47:25,900 --> 00:47:29,100
 So it's sort of a leap of faith with some of these.

829
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:29,900
 What are you going to do?

830
00:47:30,140 --> 00:47:32,820
 Florida's just announced, Filo, we sort of expected that, too.

831
00:47:33,380 --> 00:47:34,940
 But keep an eye on all these.

832
00:47:35,420 --> 00:47:38,980
 Quarterback, we'll hear more of these announcements today, I suppose, and tomorrow.

833
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,440
 Let me ask you about another game Saturday.

834
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,040
 This is a intriguing game to me.

835
00:47:43,240 --> 00:47:45,080
 It's 9 o'clock on Fox.

836
00:47:45,260 --> 00:47:46,840
 Memphis at UNLV.

837
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,700
 Charles Huff coming from Southern Miss.

838
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,920
 In fact, he took quite a few of his players with him.

839
00:47:53,140 --> 00:47:57,280
 Dan the man, Mullen, formerly at Mississippi State and Florida.

840
00:47:58,060 --> 00:48:01,560
 They've got Jet Thomas, a very good running back.

841
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,600
 UNLV, a 5.5-point favorite.

842
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,100
 Silverfield, of course, moved from Memphis to Arkansas.

843
00:48:11,100 --> 00:48:15,380
 Your thoughts on the interesting game, Memphis at UNLV.

844
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,980
 Yeah, Charles Huff, interesting here.

845
00:48:19,140 --> 00:48:21,820
 His third head coaching job in three years.

846
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:22,040
 Yeah.

847
00:48:22,580 --> 00:48:23,360
 Now, he's jumping.

848
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,180
 Marshall did a great job in 2024.

849
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,480
 They were slow on giving him a contract upgrade.

850
00:48:29,580 --> 00:48:30,440
 And he said, the heck with it.

851
00:48:30,500 --> 00:48:32,300
 Southern Miss actually was going to pay him a little more.

852
00:48:32,340 --> 00:48:33,300
 So he moved to Hattiesburg.

853
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,180
 But that was going to be sort of a short-term thing.

854
00:48:36,300 --> 00:48:37,940
 He took a lot of his Marshall players with him.

855
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:43,140
 And Southern Miss did fairly well last year until right at the end of the season when it looked like he was going to leave again.

856
00:48:43,180 --> 00:48:43,700
 And he did.

857
00:48:44,500 --> 00:48:47,980
 But he brings a lot of Southern Miss players with him to Memphis.

858
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,800
 So it's new jobs.

859
00:48:49,900 --> 00:48:52,880
 But he's got familiar guys all around him.

860
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:53,320
 That's a key.

861
00:48:53,980 --> 00:48:59,340
 What he's got to do is figure out who's going to – he's not bringing his quarterback with him.

862
00:48:59,620 --> 00:49:06,880
 It's going to be Aaron Nolan, who had been in South Carolina, or Marcus Stokes, who had been in a D2 school in West Florida, where he was very, very productive.

863
00:49:07,340 --> 00:49:10,440
 If one of those two guys comes up big, I think Memphis will be all right this year.

864
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:15,960
 It's almost – he's got like all Southern Miss' defensive line from last year has moved up in mass to Memphis.

865
00:49:16,460 --> 00:49:19,480
 A lot of Southern Miss' team from last year will be on the field for the Tigers.

866
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,220
 So it's not like, you know, a team with all these new faces.

867
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:26,120
 Jackson Arnold is the UNLV quarterback.

868
00:49:26,340 --> 00:49:28,280
 He is working his way down the college food chain.

869
00:49:28,420 --> 00:49:29,600
 I can't saloon for him.

870
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,440
 They do have Thomas, but a lot of other, you know, replacements there.

871
00:49:33,540 --> 00:49:39,460
 And UNLV's defense has not been that great, although UNLV has had a couple of good years in a row with Odom and then Mullen.

872
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,520
 I think Memphis is a very interesting play, plus the point here.

873
00:49:43,660 --> 00:49:45,740
 And Huff, very good underdog coach.

874
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,300
 I mean, Marshall, two years ago, was one of the best point spread teams in recent memory.

875
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,700
 Lost one spread game all year, two years ago, and he's a great underdog coach.

876
00:49:53,820 --> 00:49:55,260
 I'm going to take a lead with Memphis here.

877
00:49:55,340 --> 00:49:56,340
 I think they have a chance to win.

878
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:57,100
 I'll take the points.

879
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,540
 All right, Bruce, we jump off.

880
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:04,440
 Are you with the Lane gang on this NFL back-to-college ranks?

881
00:50:04,540 --> 00:50:06,360
 Are you with the commissioners, the Big Ten?

882
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:07,440
 They've made up their mind.

883
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:12,060
 I think Greg Sankey's waiting to see where the wind's going to blow before he makes his final decision.

884
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,500
 I've seen where he is intimated.

885
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:14,860
 I haven't seen anything official yet.

886
00:50:15,300 --> 00:50:20,220
 But where are you on this great debate, basically saying, I thought I was good enough for the NFL,

887
00:50:20,220 --> 00:50:23,300
 but I'm now only going to be making maybe $500,000.

888
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,120
 I can go back to college and double that.

889
00:50:25,700 --> 00:50:27,380
 Where are you on this great debate, Bruce?

890
00:50:28,020 --> 00:50:33,700
 Well, you know, the one thing I would have been sure of, if there was a coach who was going to break ranks and be the first one.

891
00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:34,600
 There you go.

892
00:50:34,700 --> 00:50:35,320
 You know, guys?

893
00:50:35,740 --> 00:50:37,000
 It was going to be Lane Kiffin.

894
00:50:38,540 --> 00:50:39,400
 So there you go.

895
00:50:39,460 --> 00:50:40,220
 He's already done it.

896
00:50:40,420 --> 00:50:42,460
 I mean, Sankey had sort of intimated before.

897
00:50:42,580 --> 00:50:44,340
 He didn't want schools to do it, though.

898
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,800
 He hasn't made the announcement that the Big Ten made, like, don't do it.

899
00:50:48,260 --> 00:50:49,800
 So you knew that Kiffin would.

900
00:50:50,860 --> 00:50:52,680
 It doesn't surprise me.

901
00:50:52,780 --> 00:50:57,980
 And I thought, listen, in the era of nil, let's just go for a minute.

902
00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:00,380
 I go to Oregon and Dante Moore.

903
00:51:00,900 --> 00:51:03,260
 Dante Moore would have been the second pick in the draft.

904
00:51:03,820 --> 00:51:08,900
 The Jets would have taken him in the draft behind Mendoza and the Raiders.

905
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,760
 First round pick, second pick in the draft, he decides to come back to Oregon.

906
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:18,900
 And that means they must be paying him God's blood to come back.

907
00:51:19,340 --> 00:51:20,600
 This is the reality now.

908
00:51:20,660 --> 00:51:25,120
 A lot of these guys can stay in college and make more money.

909
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:31,220
 And until they can, and it's, the legislation's door.

910
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:35,060
 And I think Dan Westlaw had a good column on ESPN here that the NC2A keeps going,

911
00:51:35,500 --> 00:51:38,700
 trying to go really big and trying to work through Congress on these things,

912
00:51:38,740 --> 00:51:41,640
 when they should really just go smaller and try to, you know,

913
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,520
 get some control over, you know, legal eligibility.

914
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,160
 They tried that, this 5-on-5 thing, but that's got court challenges.

915
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,960
 And the transfer report, you know,

916
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,600
 trying to do something with that to make it a little bit more manageable.

917
00:51:55,260 --> 00:51:59,040
 But unless they get something there, you're going to see more of this.

918
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,820
 They're going to keep trying, and I'm telling you,

919
00:52:01,860 --> 00:52:02,720
 at some point down the road,

920
00:52:02,780 --> 00:52:06,620
 unless there's some collective bargaining goes on or something else,

921
00:52:07,740 --> 00:52:10,420
 players are going to challenge to keep playing college football

922
00:52:10,420 --> 00:52:11,880
 for as long as they're enrolled.

923
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:13,280
 And they could be 7, 8, 9.

924
00:52:13,340 --> 00:52:14,180
 Now, this is down the road.

925
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,840
 It hasn't happened yet, but I bet you it will.

926
00:52:16,380 --> 00:52:19,260
 Because, you know, you're talking about paying these guys millions of dollars,

927
00:52:19,340 --> 00:52:20,820
 and they're saying, well, you can't make that much money.

928
00:52:21,500 --> 00:52:24,680
 It's a mess, and it's really all the NCAA is doing.

929
00:52:24,980 --> 00:52:25,480
 That's right.

930
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,420
 It didn't, you know, no surprise that a guy like Glenn Kiffin is the guy

931
00:52:29,420 --> 00:52:31,680
 that's the first time to drive a truck through that hole.

932
00:52:31,900 --> 00:52:32,200
 We'll see.

933
00:52:33,020 --> 00:52:37,280
 Week 0 this Saturday, week 1 next week.

934
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:41,420
 Can't wait to look at week 1 with you, but week 0 is here.

935
00:52:42,340 --> 00:52:44,220
 Major League Baseball still there.

936
00:52:44,220 --> 00:52:50,040
 The Braves and the Dodgers begin a crucial three-game series for the Braves

937
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,840
 trying to hold on to that lead in the division.

938
00:52:53,540 --> 00:52:58,880
 Where can we get online and get the gold standard with college football now

939
00:52:58,880 --> 00:52:59,840
 on the doorstep?

940
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,360
 Yeah, here we go.

941
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,240
 By the way, Tyler Glasson will pitch for the Dodgers first time

942
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:05,300
 in almost four months.

943
00:53:05,820 --> 00:53:10,780
 So he will pitch against the Braves tonight against Elder down in Atlanta.

944
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,580
 Anyway, yeah, check me out online.

945
00:53:13,580 --> 00:53:16,320
 Sign up everything under the wagertalk.com umbrella.

946
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,960
 It's $5 Tuesday, so we've got $5 top choices up there today.

947
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,880
 And soon coming up with football, we had a good NFL preseason weekend,

948
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,420
 so that we've got NFL preseason coming up this week, too.

949
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:28,420
 So wagertalk.com.

950
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,240
 Also, that should go pick some parlays, winnersandwiners.com.

951
00:53:31,380 --> 00:53:34,120
 And starting next week, go up to goldsheet.com.

952
00:53:34,220 --> 00:53:35,780
 We'll have our weekly publication as well.

953
00:53:36,580 --> 00:53:37,740
 It is here, Bruce.

954
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,080
 We know you're busy, my man.

955
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,420
 Thanks so much for taking time out of that busy schedule

956
00:53:41,420 --> 00:53:42,760
 and joining us again today, buddy.

957
00:53:42,940 --> 00:53:44,160
 Okay, gentlemen.

958
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:44,840
 Thank you, Ben.

959
00:53:45,300 --> 00:53:47,720
 Bruce Marshall and the other place is Vegas Insider.

960
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,240
 The name of the day is Justin Buzzard.

961
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,160
 He is a minister out in California.

962
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,740
 He's also now trying to make the roster as a defensive end

963
00:53:56,740 --> 00:53:58,840
 with the San Jose City College Jaguars.

964
00:53:59,020 --> 00:54:00,600
 What makes this story unique?

965
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,820
 He is 47 years old.

966
00:54:04,900 --> 00:54:05,600
 You heard it right.

967
00:54:05,740 --> 00:54:08,040
 Coming up the next hour, we're going to be checking in with Martin Newton.

968
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,020
 He's going to be hooking up with us, talking about a pretty big showdown

969
00:54:11,020 --> 00:54:14,100

00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:28,020
 Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has launched an investigation into the founder of ChatGPT, Sam Altman, as well as OpenAI.

1065
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,800
 Marshall has already sent a subpoena to Altman as this investigation gets underway.

1066
00:58:33,260 --> 00:58:39,980
 The AG says that the impetus for the whole investigation is the recent hacking of Hugging Face, which is another AI company.

1067
00:58:39,980 --> 00:58:52,680
 The hacking occurred this past June while OpenAI was experimenting with an artificial intelligence model, and that model went rogue during testing and broke through its barriers going out onto the Internet and initiating this hack.

1068
00:58:52,800 --> 00:59:02,640
 AG Marshall says he's looking into the company's oversight and safety measures within this product and whether or not it violates the state's consumer protection laws and its Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

1069
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:14,480
 Alabama is part of a multi-state coalition that has also asked OpenAI to stop all testing of this experimental model until OpenAI and Altman can show responsible and controlled measures are in place.

1070
00:59:14,860 --> 00:59:17,580
 I'll be back with more Alabama stories after this.

 Police in Dothan have caught up with the woman who owns the laundromat business in Dothan where dead animals were found.

01:03:24,180 --> 01:03:33,120
 And on a Saturday, you know, we had games Thursday, that big Thompson-Central Phoenix City game highlighted the schedule.

1134
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:38,620
 We had a lot of games on Friday, highlighted by Brett's Mars Hill team, finding another way to keep winning.

1135
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:39,200
 That's right.

1136
01:03:39,300 --> 01:03:41,620
 Winning my picks for another week.

1137
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,100
 And then, obviously, you're referring to a lot of Saturday.

1138
01:03:45,420 --> 01:03:46,560
 I mean, up there, Columbia.

1139
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:48,860
 Congrats to Columbia.

1140
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:53,040
 I mean, thank goodness to get that monkey off their back.

1141
01:03:53,140 --> 01:03:55,180
 Sammy Coates doing a great job up there.

1142
01:03:55,580 --> 01:03:59,180
 Thomas Ashworth had some great coverage for us on that game.

1143
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,380
 Great videos and post-game celebration.

1144
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,520
 Wrote a column earlier this week about it.

1145
01:04:03,700 --> 01:04:07,680
 And, look, I don't think this is going to be the last victory for Columbia this year.

1146
01:04:07,780 --> 01:04:07,920
 No.

1147
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:10,420
 They got some things going there.

1148
01:04:10,460 --> 01:04:15,380
 Christian Ritchie's going to be a big addition coming over from James Clemens as the principal there.

1149
01:04:15,660 --> 01:04:17,640
 And I think you're going to see this.

1150
01:04:17,740 --> 01:04:21,520
 As you know, Brett, I picked Columbia as my surprise team.

1151
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:22,340
 Yes, you did.

1152
01:04:22,900 --> 01:04:26,080
 Now, I promise that that didn't mean they're going to win the state championship.

1153
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:26,760
 Right, I know.

1154
01:04:26,780 --> 01:04:27,580
 They're going to get to the playoffs.

1155
01:04:28,180 --> 01:04:30,120
 But here we are.

1156
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:31,060
 So, congrats to them.

1157
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,940
 And I was at, we can talk about that if you want to, guys.

1158
01:04:35,060 --> 01:04:38,360
 But I was at St. Michael in Fairhope on Saturday.

1159
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:42,580
 It was, Harold, I think it was 145 degrees.

1160
01:04:42,580 --> 01:04:43,200
 Oh, Lord.

1161
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:44,500
 In the shade.

1162
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:46,020
 Man, it was hot.

1163
01:04:46,020 --> 01:04:52,040
 But, obviously, Luke Bryan, you know, the headliner, not the headliner singer,

1164
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:56,500
 but, you know, he came and watched his son play, Bo Bryan, who plays for Battleground.

1165
01:04:57,140 --> 01:04:58,600
 I thought he had a really good game.

1166
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,060
 Pass from 300-something yards, 375, I believe.

1167
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,740
 He got two really good receivers.

1168
01:05:04,900 --> 01:05:10,320
 And that was going to be a really good game until Gunnar Rivers got hurt late in the first quarter.

1169
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:14,540
 I think it was going to be a 35-34 type shootout.

1170
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:17,740
 But Gunnar Rivers left with a knee injury.

1171
01:05:18,460 --> 01:05:19,940
 I did not come back.

1172
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:21,680
 We don't know when he's going to be back.

1173
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,480
 I talked to your friend of mine, Phillip, or at least I texted with him yesterday.

1174
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:30,880
 And he said it looks like he's not going to have to have surgery and is not season-ending.

1175
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,560
 But not sure when he's going to be back.

1176
01:05:33,740 --> 01:05:37,320
 So, we'll see if it's one game, two games, five games.

1177
01:05:37,660 --> 01:05:43,720
 Whatever the good news for, you know, St. Michael is in that AA division, all those teams go to the playoffs.

1178
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:46,740
 So, you know, it really doesn't matter what they're seeded.

1179
01:05:46,820 --> 01:05:52,420
 If they get Gunnar back late in the season even and he gets polished up, you know, they can still make a run, those things.

1180
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,660
 So, two huge stories that turn into national stories.

1181
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:56,920
 Absolutely.

1182
01:05:57,700 --> 01:05:59,620
 No, that was great coverage.

1183
01:05:59,980 --> 01:06:04,540
 In fact, we talked to Thomas yesterday and he was right.

1184
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,100
 Sammy Coates came in with a plan.

1185
01:06:08,260 --> 01:06:10,620
 Harold and I talked about this multiple times.

1186
01:06:11,260 --> 01:06:18,560
 Columbia High School is located in Research Park and there's not a lot of residential area around that.

1187
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:26,040
 And they had last year, at some practices, only 11 players available.

1188
01:06:26,300 --> 01:06:27,980
 They've now got 57.

1189
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:34,020
 They got behind 14 to nothing and outscored Greensboro 41 to nothing.

1190
01:06:34,780 --> 01:06:36,400
 And I agree with you, BT.

1191
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,840
 I think they're going to have a very good year.

1192
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:40,680
 And another streak.

1193
01:06:41,020 --> 01:06:47,100
 This one ended, Cody Gross at Athens, we talked to Cody during the summer.

1194
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:51,680
 He has a young team, but don't tell Drew Phillips at West Morgan that.

1195
01:06:52,160 --> 01:07:00,820
 Athens ends West Morgan's 34-game regular season winning streak, winning emphatically 28-6.

1196
01:07:01,700 --> 01:07:02,960
 Well, that was a surprise.

1197
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:10,560
 I mean, I was surprised by, judging by my picks, I was surprised by a lot of games in week one.

1198
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:14,100
 But, you know, actually, West Morgan has a Madison Academy.

1199
01:07:14,340 --> 01:07:17,240
 That was a tough pick for me.

1200
01:07:17,500 --> 01:07:24,300
 But, yeah, for them to beat West Morgan 28-6, we know the job that Drew Phillips does down there.

1201
01:07:24,660 --> 01:07:26,260
 Great win for Cody Gross.

1202
01:07:26,260 --> 01:07:30,120
 And we'll see if maybe Athens has it back on the right track as well.

1203
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:30,840
 It's early yet.

1204
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:35,680
 I mean, I think they got, you know, three straight road games starting with Bob Jones this week.

1205
01:07:35,780 --> 01:07:37,860
 So, we'll see how it develops.

1206
01:07:38,180 --> 01:07:40,780
 But a good win, certainly, to start off with.

1207
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:43,560
 Absolutely.

1208
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:45,680
 I saw a classic.

1209
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,400
 The 100th meeting of Russellville and Desler.

1210
01:07:52,380 --> 01:07:54,940
 Desler was going for a two-point conversion.

1211
01:07:54,940 --> 01:07:57,300
 I talked to Patrick Malone, the Desler coach.

1212
01:07:57,380 --> 01:07:59,560
 I knew he was going for two to win the game.

1213
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:05,580
 It failed, but Desler came back from 14-point deficits twice.

1214
01:08:06,220 --> 01:08:09,300
 And, BT, this has been one of the more amazing series.

1215
01:08:09,540 --> 01:08:10,900
 I don't know if you saw this.

1216
01:08:11,340 --> 01:08:13,080
 That was the 100th meeting.

1217
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:18,280
 The all-time series now, 48, 48, and 4.

1218
01:08:18,780 --> 01:08:22,200
 That's one of the more amazing things I think I've ever seen.

1219
01:08:23,060 --> 01:08:26,820
 Matt Davis for Russellville ran for 147 yards.

1220
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:31,220
 And, again, Darrell Higgins gets to face his former school, Morris Hill.

1221
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:35,800
 Morris Hill travels to Russellville Friday to play the Golden Tigers.

1222
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:41,160
 But that's been an incredible series, and that was an incredible game.

1223
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,620
 Yeah, that's going to be a fun one.

1224
01:08:43,780 --> 01:08:45,920
 But, you know, you expect Coach Higgins to win.

1225
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:47,520
 I mean, we're used to him winning.

1226
01:08:47,860 --> 01:08:49,680
 And I like the move to go for two.

1227
01:08:49,820 --> 01:08:51,500
 It didn't pan out.

1228
01:08:51,580 --> 01:08:54,820
 I mean, we've seen that so many times where you've got the momentum.

1229
01:08:55,500 --> 01:08:56,840
 You know, you've got them on their heels.

1230
01:08:56,940 --> 01:08:59,680
 Go ahead and try and punch it in and get it over with.

1231
01:08:59,940 --> 01:09:01,280
 And it just didn't work out.

1232
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:05,740
 But, you know, obviously, it doesn't get much more even than that series.

1233
01:09:06,380 --> 01:09:07,180
 48-48.

1234
01:09:07,620 --> 01:09:10,200
 So, good game there for sure.

1235
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,760
 Ben, obviously, it's amazing how coaches come and they go.

1236
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,040
 And you say, well, the rosters, they change.

1237
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:18,300
 What's going to happen this year?

1238
01:09:18,900 --> 01:09:20,840
 You look at what they mentioned there, Morris Hill.

1239
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:21,660
 They win again.

1240
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:24,500
 And then you talk about Hartzell.

1241
01:09:24,700 --> 01:09:25,760
 It's like, does it really matter?

1242
01:09:25,980 --> 01:09:28,100
 It's almost like you and I can go down there and coach.

1243
01:09:28,140 --> 01:09:28,960
 They're going to win.

1244
01:09:29,060 --> 01:09:30,020
 They beat Bob Jones.

1245
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,380
 Not only they beat Bob Jones, one of the biggest schools in the state,

1246
01:09:33,460 --> 01:09:36,840
 but by no margin of error, 35-6.

1247
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,120
 Your thoughts about Hartzell and their start?

1248
01:09:40,700 --> 01:09:42,300
 Well, I mean, I just, yeah, you're right.

1249
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:47,200
 I mean, I think it's just one of those teams that you expect to be, you know,

1250
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:51,040
 semifinals, quarterfinals of the playoffs every year, no matter who the coach is.

1251
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,940
 And, you know, Coach Newton done a good job there.

1252
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,780
 And, you know, they go, well, they got this way, go to Coleman, I think.

1253
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:57,580
 Yes, correct.

1254
01:09:58,020 --> 01:09:58,880
 That's a good one.

1255
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,300
 So that should be a good one as well.

1256
01:10:01,540 --> 01:10:05,200
 But, yeah, you know, if you look around the state, the teams, you know,

1257
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,580
 you kind of expect to win that have a winning tradition.

1258
01:10:07,820 --> 01:10:09,040
 It ends at some point.

1259
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:10,960
 You know, Spanish support is kind of an example of that.

1260
01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:13,960
 For 10 years we thought, well, they're just going to win,

1261
01:10:14,140 --> 01:10:16,100
 even no matter how far they get down.

1262
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:19,820
 But now you look at Thompson, you look at Clay Chalkwell, Hartzell,

1263
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:24,720
 Sierra Land, all these teams that have built this tradition of winning,

1264
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:26,880
 they think they're going to win no matter what.

1265
01:10:26,980 --> 01:10:29,260
 I mean, the clock might hit zero before you celebrate.

1266
01:10:29,500 --> 01:10:31,200
 Or Mark Hill is another one.

1267
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:34,220
 Or they're going to find a way to pull it out.

1268
01:10:34,700 --> 01:10:37,060
 And, of course, this wasn't a close game for Hartzell.

1269
01:10:37,180 --> 01:10:39,880
 I mean, they came out and really took it to Bob Jones.

1270
01:10:40,460 --> 01:10:40,900
 Absolutely.

1271
01:10:41,260 --> 01:10:42,780
 Florence beat Pinson Valley.

1272
01:10:42,940 --> 01:10:46,420
 I thought it would be much closer, 45-0.

1273
01:10:46,780 --> 01:10:48,280
 Watch Florence this year.

1274
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,100
 I think they're going to surprise a lot of people.

1275
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,540
 Hoover and Muscle Shoals, a very good game.

1276
01:10:54,180 --> 01:10:55,920
 Hoover, that was a defensive battle.

1277
01:10:56,180 --> 01:10:58,960
 Hoover holds on to win 14-8.

1278
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:00,200
 I couldn't have a good tickle.

1279
01:11:00,300 --> 01:11:02,820
 Harold and I talked about this a little bit yesterday.

1280
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:07,540
 Paul Benefield, of course, who thinks he can't do anything as far as a coach,

1281
01:11:07,540 --> 01:11:10,180
 even though he's won 369 games.

1282
01:11:10,620 --> 01:11:12,040
 Said, it's a miracle.

1283
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:16,000
 They came back and beat Clay Chalkville 21-20.

1284
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:19,300
 Roderick Gibson runs for 151 yards.

1285
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:20,400
 It's the same thing.

1286
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,720
 They run about five plays a game.

1287
01:11:22,980 --> 01:11:25,420
 But, once again, BT, they know what they're doing.

1288
01:11:25,540 --> 01:11:29,040
 They came back to upset or beat Central Clay.

1289
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,040
 Yeah, I mean, that was a surprise.

1290
01:11:32,260 --> 01:11:34,720
 I mean, obviously, Central Clay is a little bigger school.

1291
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,340
 And, yeah, you can't believe Paul, Brent.

1292
01:11:37,460 --> 01:11:39,640
 I mean, we're just a little old team.

1293
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:41,420
 We don't got much talent over here.

1294
01:11:41,860 --> 01:11:44,740
 I don't know how we're going to be able to even field a team.

1295
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:45,540
 Right.

1296
01:11:46,260 --> 01:11:47,000
 Only, you know.

1297
01:11:47,460 --> 01:11:47,800
 Yeah.

1298
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:49,420
 And, you know, then you got Ryder Gibson.

1299
01:11:49,580 --> 01:11:53,500
 I mean, they always got some stud running the ball and playing linebacker.

1300
01:11:53,580 --> 01:11:55,860
 And Ryder Gibson is the latest one of those guys.

1301
01:11:56,100 --> 01:11:58,320
 So, it'll be interesting.

1302
01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:02,500
 I mean, you know, I don't – like we've talked about maybe this is the last year for those

1303
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:05,120
 two guys, Paul Bennefield and Danny Horn.

1304
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:06,460
 I hope it's not.

1305
01:12:06,460 --> 01:12:12,680
 But, you know, Paul, maybe the all-time wins race a little bit more interesting, though.

1306
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:20,640
 Ben, as far as individuals, you know, if you can answer the question as far as individual

1307
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:24,300
 standouts across the state, so is your list.

1308
01:12:24,420 --> 01:12:28,560
 But Trent Seaborn, this kid, I mean, what, this is his 10th year playing high school football,

1309
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:32,880
 as far as it seems, but your thoughts just about the start that he's had there at Thompson

1310
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:33,620
 again this year.

1311
01:12:34,980 --> 01:12:40,020
 Well, I mean, you know, he was – I was in my young teens when he started playing, I

1312
01:12:40,020 --> 01:12:40,180
 think.

1313
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:42,560
 I mean, I got social security, right?

1314
01:12:43,180 --> 01:12:44,440
 Started as an eighth grader.

1315
01:12:44,440 --> 01:12:50,060
 We got a good video piece coming out on AL.com later this week on Trent that Clay Yeager did.

1316
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:52,620
 Really interesting piece.

1317
01:12:52,620 --> 01:12:58,500
 But Trent is, you know, just one of those guys who started young.

1318
01:12:59,100 --> 01:13:01,820
 Got involved with the right coaches along the way.

1319
01:13:01,980 --> 01:13:05,860
 Ended up at Thompson, where he's got a great quarterback coach in Mark Freeman, and I think

1320
01:13:05,860 --> 01:13:07,020
 he's just gotten better and better.

1321
01:13:07,480 --> 01:13:10,620
 He got taller, which was a key, I think, in his recruiting.

1322
01:13:10,980 --> 01:13:14,760
 I mean, it looked like for a little while that he might just be too small for these big-time

1323
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:19,760
 colleges, but, you know, he got taller, and he's a really smart kid.

1324
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,200
 I say kid, he's almost a young man now.

1325
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,000
 And obviously, he's got a lot of weapons around him, and that doesn't hurt either, you know,

1326
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:29,060
 when you've got the best talent around you.

1327
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:33,960
 So, I do think, I hate, you know, I don't know, like I said earlier, I don't know what

1328
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:37,060
 the situation for the future is of Gunnar Rivers in high school.

1329
01:13:37,380 --> 01:13:41,640
 I was really looking forward to those, you know, kind of following week to week those two,

1330
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,020
 because they're so close in all-time passing.

1331
01:13:45,020 --> 01:13:49,300
 Both of them about 10,200 yards, somewhere in there, a little bit over that, and it was

1332
01:13:49,300 --> 01:13:54,600
 going to be a nice race to see maybe who wins Mr. Football, but also to see who the state's

1333
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,520
 all-time leading passer, and still might be.

1334
01:13:56,600 --> 01:14:01,140
 We don't know about that, but to me, it did not look like something that is just going to

1335
01:14:01,140 --> 01:14:03,060
 be, he's going to be out a week and come back.

1336
01:14:03,440 --> 01:14:08,640
 I think it might be a few weeks, and we'll see him, but I know Phillip's not going to risk

1337
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,300
 anything with his future.

1338
01:14:10,700 --> 01:14:15,880
 Tell us about the rest of the week, I believe Randy Kennedy is going to have an update Thursday

1339
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:23,760
 on the best of Bama, the five questions for North Alabama, Birmingham, Mobile, and then

1340
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:31,560
 the lousy picks, and particularly your lousy picks, that comes out, tell us what's coming

1341
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:33,820
 up the rest of the week on AL.com.

1342
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:39,620
 Well, a guy was, when Greensboro went up 14-0 and I picked Columbia, I think, well, I'm

1343
01:14:39,620 --> 01:14:43,740
 going to be under .500 this week, and it's going to be terrible, but thankfully, I got

1344
01:14:43,740 --> 01:14:48,700
 to send Sammy a thank you note for winning that one, I was able to scrape by and get

1345
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:49,760
 a 11-9 record.

1346
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:57,260
 But yeah, the picks come out on Friday, we got our guy Carl Praler up there, so he picked,

1347
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:02,320
 I think he's the only one to pick Spanish for it to beat Daphne, so good job by Carl, but

1348
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:03,360
 those comes out on Wednesday.

1349
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:09,180
 We're trying to get into the flow, we got a lot of new things, kind of new elements on Wednesdays,

1350
01:15:09,180 --> 01:15:13,560
 we're doing our five things to know, and Mobile, and Huntsville, and Birmingham, which

1351
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:20,960
 I really like, and just yesterday, I started my Ben's 10, this is my top performers of

1352
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:27,440
 the week, you got a cool little graphic picture of me, you win, I get to send that out, and

1353
01:15:27,440 --> 01:15:33,180
 this week, it had a lot of big-time stars, a lot of big-time stats, but it might not always

1354
01:15:33,180 --> 01:15:37,680
 be that, it might be somebody who made the key play of the game, or somebody who showed

1355
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:38,660
 good sportsmanship.

1356
01:15:39,480 --> 01:15:43,460
 It's whatever I want it to be, but just recognizing 10 players across the state,

1357
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:49,480
 we'll do that each Monday, so plenty of good stuff on AL.com, and obviously on Friday night,

1358
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,980
 football high live starts about 6.30 and goes all through the night.

1359
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:57,460
 Well, I don't know what I'm going to do for an encore after the opening week, but we shall see,

1360
01:15:57,540 --> 01:16:01,580
 we got eyes on you, Ben, keep up the good work, and thanks so much for your time today, buddy.

1361
01:16:02,180 --> 01:16:03,580
 All right, thanks, guys, y'all, have a good week.

1362
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:04,100
 You too, bud.

1363
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:11,780
 The BT Express, Ben Thomas, AL.com, optimism all over the place, a place called Auburn Cold

1364
01:16:11,780 --> 01:16:13,520
 Pinkston, the latest next, stay with us.

1365
01:16:17,480 --> 01:16:19,240
 All right, grab some buds and listen up.

1366
01:16:20,100 --> 01:16:21,200
 Grilling season's here.

1367
01:16:21,620 --> 01:16:23,820
 Now we find out what we're made of.

1368
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:28,300
 Are we going to fold under pressure and overcook the burgers, or are we going to nail the

1369
01:16:28,300 --> 01:16:32,160
 carne asada and the brisket and pack the coolers with ice cold Budweiser and

1370
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:37,340
 Bud Light, because that's the difference between winning and losing, between flipping burgers

1371
01:16:37,340 --> 01:16:39,300
 and grilling like a pro.

1372
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,920
 This summer, grill like a pro with Bud and Bud Light.

1373
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:43,840
 Stock up today.

1374

1375
01:16:47,660 --> 01:16:50,200
 Hey, y'all, it's Charlie Starr from Blackberry Smoke.

1376
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:55,500
 Y'all know our fans are like family to us, and family watches out for each other, especially

1377
01:16:55,500 --> 01:16:56,520
 when we're out riding.

1378
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:02,100
 So before you or your crew get on your motorcycles, make sure you're good to ride.

1379
01:17:02,140 --> 01:17:04,320
 Even one drink could be too many.

1380
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:06,660
 Don't let a good ride end the wrong way.

1381
01:17:07,100 --> 01:17:08,960
 Ride sober or get pulled over.

1384
01:17:18,700 --> 01:17:23,540
 When I lost my mom, she was only 46, and I lost my dad to cancer.

1385
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:25,500
 It was the worst pain I ever felt.

1386
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,800
 It made me think, what will happen with the people I love when my time is up?

1387
01:17:30,260 --> 01:17:31,660
 That's why I have life insurance.

1419
01:19:26,740 --> 01:19:27,840
 Except you're not reading it.

1420
01:19:28,100 --> 01:19:31,620
 Harris Dickinson and Marissa Abella are reading it to you on Audible.

1421
01:19:32,180 --> 01:19:33,240
 Her barbs sting you.

1422

 This coldness sends a shiver up your spine.

1423
01:19:36,100 --> 01:19:37,280

 Your ears burn.

1425
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,820
 You yearn for Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy to profess their undying love for one another.

1426
01:19:43,060 --> 01:19:44,880
 You can't bear it any longer.

1427
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:47,700
 Well, maybe a chapter longer.

1428
01:19:48,380 --> 01:19:51,340
 Performance is so good, you'll give love a second chance.

 Hello again, everybody.

1436
01:20:10,980 --> 01:20:11,780
 I'm Roger Hoover.

1437
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,100
 On Thursday's edition of Crimson Drive, driven by NASCAR,

1438
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:19,160
 we'll be joined by Alabama soccer goalkeeper Maddie Munguio together.

1439
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:19,680
 Oh, yeah.

1440
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,000
 We are, like, bonded.

1441
01:20:21,300 --> 01:20:23,440
 And same thing with our other goalkeeper, Liv.

1442
01:20:23,440 --> 01:20:26,320
 I mean, she's new, but, like, we're with each other every day,

1443
01:20:26,420 --> 01:20:28,960
 so we get close really quickly, but, yeah.

1444
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:30,540
 That's really outstanding.

1445
01:20:30,700 --> 01:20:32,560
 So, again, season's about to begin.

1446
01:20:32,660 --> 01:20:35,420
 What has you the most excited about what's in store for this group this year?

1447
01:20:36,260 --> 01:20:39,420
 Kind of like what I said earlier, just, like, with that underdog mentality.

1448
01:20:39,580 --> 01:20:42,280
 Like, I'm just really excited to see us prove teams wrong.

1449
01:20:42,900 --> 01:20:45,380
 And, you know, like I said, we have a young team,

1450
01:20:45,440 --> 01:20:48,300
 but, like, I don't think that stops us from doing anything.

1451
01:20:48,300 --> 01:20:52,600
 I think, if anything, like, it can give us a new perspective of, you know,

1452
01:20:52,740 --> 01:20:55,100
 just playing and being with each other.

1453
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:56,160
 So, I'm really excited.

1454
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:57,920
 I'll have more in a moment.

1455
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,340
 Are you ready for game day in Tuscaloosa?

1456
01:21:00,580 --> 01:21:03,160

 Vector Security Champions Lane.

1477
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,580
 Crimson Tide Today is a production of the Crimson Tide Sports Network

1478
01:21:53,580 --> 01:21:54,400
 from Learfield.

1479
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:56,140
 The Score.

1480
01:21:56,540 --> 01:22:01,340
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

1481
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:02,480
 Welcome back in.

1482
01:22:02,540 --> 01:22:05,360
 A big shout-out to our man, James,

1483
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:07,600
 the producer extraordinaire,

1484
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,620
 giving us the news, some sad news, BB.

1485
01:22:10,660 --> 01:22:14,680
 One of the best, Dolly Parton passing at the age of 80 today.

1486
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:15,760
 I'll tell you what, Harold,

1487
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,540
 I don't really know what to say about that.

1488
01:22:18,740 --> 01:22:21,420
 As James said, I feel like I've lost my aunt

1489
01:22:21,420 --> 01:22:24,200
 or your grandmother or something.

1490
01:22:24,540 --> 01:22:26,520
 She was such an incredible icon,

1491
01:22:26,860 --> 01:22:28,360
 so very, very talented.

1492
01:22:28,740 --> 01:22:29,140
 Genuine.

1493
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:32,600
 Our thoughts and prayers certainly go out to her family.

1494
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:36,200
 Had an opportunity to see her years ago at another place.

1495
01:22:36,380 --> 01:22:38,800
 Disney World actually invited the station down

1496
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:39,920
 at one of their anniversaries.

1497
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:42,000
 We did our shows down there for an X number of days,

1498
01:22:42,100 --> 01:22:44,500
 and at night they threw a party in Dolly.

1499
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:46,400
 It was there in downtown Orlando.

1500
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:47,580
 Did not disappoint.

1501
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,700
 But what was more amazing about anything else,

1502
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:51,800
 she pretty much stayed true to herself.

1503
01:22:51,940 --> 01:22:53,560
 She never forgot where she came from.

1504
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:55,600
 She was definitely a genuine person,

1505
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,320
 and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family

1506
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:01,180
 and all of her fans at the age of 80 leaving us.

1507
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:03,400
 With that, we say hello to Cole Pinkston.

1508
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:05,940
 He is up with us from auburnsports.com,

1509
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:07,920
 part of the on3.com family.

1510
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:08,880
 Cole, welcome in.

1511
01:23:08,940 --> 01:23:09,460
 How are you?

1512
01:23:10,440 --> 01:23:11,080
 Doing great.

1513
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:11,980
 Thanks for having me again.

1514
01:23:12,500 --> 01:23:13,580
 Man, we appreciate it.

1515
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,820
 It's almost, we can almost reach out and touch it,

1516
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:16,500
 can we not, Cole?

1517
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,780
 The season itself, and I guess the question is,

1518
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:20,620
 it's not your first rodeo.

1519
01:23:20,700 --> 01:23:24,280
 Where are you as far as your gut with this team at this point?

1520
01:23:24,380 --> 01:23:25,000
 You're on the cusp.

1521
01:23:25,100 --> 01:23:27,020
 Every team, we've talked earlier with some of our friends

1522
01:23:27,020 --> 01:23:28,160
 throughout the entire country,

1523
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:29,740
 and there's a common theme,

1524
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:31,960
 every fan base is going to go unbeaten

1525
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:33,380
 and not going to be scored on.

1526
01:23:33,780 --> 01:23:36,120
 That's pretty much the common theme until they don't.

1527
01:23:36,500 --> 01:23:39,040
 But where are you in a genuine sense with this team right now

1528
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:39,860
 as far as your gut?

1529
01:23:41,220 --> 01:23:41,880
 I'll tell you,

1530
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:45,320
 my gut feel is all over the place with this team.

1531
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:49,400
 I have a lot of optimism in some areas,

1532
01:23:49,540 --> 01:23:51,720
 and I have a lot of pessimism in other areas.

1533
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:57,880
 And I've been burned a lot with optimism over the past five years.

1534
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:03,340
 So I don't want to expect entirely too much from them.

1535
01:24:03,940 --> 01:24:04,880
 But at the same time,

1536
01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:07,540
 I really, really like Coach Gullis

1537
01:24:07,540 --> 01:24:09,820
 and what he's done over there and his coaching staff

1538
01:24:09,820 --> 01:24:12,300
 and the way that they go about their business

1539
01:24:12,300 --> 01:24:13,140
 at the end of the day.

1540
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:13,980
 I really like that.

1541
01:24:14,700 --> 01:24:17,340
 I just, I still believe that this first season

1542
01:24:17,340 --> 01:24:18,480
 is going to have some turmoil.

1543
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:22,220
 It's going to take a minute for them to get this all worked in.

1544
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:24,800
 Having your guys over from USF,

1545
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:26,420
 having Byron Brown definitely helps.

1546
01:24:28,020 --> 01:24:30,180
 This is not an official record prediction,

1547
01:24:30,420 --> 01:24:33,700
 but I am leaning on seven and five

1548
01:24:33,700 --> 01:24:35,700
 is where I kind of feel like it could end up.

1549
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:38,080
 And that's having a little bit of optimism on that.

1550
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:40,400
 Well, you make a good point, Cole,

1551
01:24:40,480 --> 01:24:42,160
 because fans naturally are going to sit here

1552
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,000
 and buy the hype at this point.

1553
01:24:44,100 --> 01:24:45,960
 But go back to a fellow by the name of Nick Saban.

1554
01:24:46,480 --> 01:24:49,180
 He was walking on water, got off to a good start,

1555
01:24:49,220 --> 01:24:50,860
 and we saw how that first season ended.

1556
01:24:51,380 --> 01:24:52,320
 Because let's face it,

1557
01:24:52,340 --> 01:24:54,860
 there's a reason there's a new coach in town.

1558
01:24:55,140 --> 01:24:56,980
 Now, DeBoer's a different ballgame.

1559
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:58,760
 He inherited a good situation there.

1560
01:24:58,780 --> 01:25:00,440
 But most times, you're there

1561
01:25:00,440 --> 01:25:02,160
 because the other guy didn't get the job done.

1562
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:04,160
 So you've got to cut down a lot of trees,

1563
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:05,060
 take the wrecking ball,

1564
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:06,120
 and clear out a lot of space

1565
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:07,880
 to build your own foundation going forward.

1566
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:09,440
 Right.

1567
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:11,040
 And that's what they did with this roster.

1568
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,400
 And, you know, they had a lot of guys leave

1569
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:14,980
 when they first got there.

1570
01:25:15,060 --> 01:25:16,620
 They kept some, some important ones,

1571
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,820
 but had to influx the roster with guys

1572
01:25:19,820 --> 01:25:21,580
 that they completely trust

1573
01:25:21,580 --> 01:25:22,520
 and guys from USF.

1574
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:24,580
 And, you know,

1575
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:26,560
 how did those guys' talent levels

1576
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:27,980
 translate to this level?

1577
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:29,860
 Because, you know,

1578
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:31,900
 they're all from around here for the most part.

1579
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:32,800
 So it's not that

1580
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,160
 they chose USF over Auburn.

1581
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:36,280
 They went there because they

1582
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,060
 probably didn't get the big offers

1583
01:25:38,060 --> 01:25:39,080
 from Auburn and Alabama.

1584
01:25:39,260 --> 01:25:40,340
 So, you know,

1585
01:25:40,380 --> 01:25:41,600
 I take all that into account,

1586
01:25:41,740 --> 01:25:44,000
 but I think they've developed those guys

1587
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:45,820
 into really solid football players

1588
01:25:45,820 --> 01:25:47,380
 who can absolutely help Auburn

1589
01:25:47,380 --> 01:25:49,160
 have a winning season this year.

1590
01:25:49,540 --> 01:25:51,860
 Let me ask you about some players who made,

1591
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:52,960
 and you had an article,

1592
01:25:53,220 --> 01:25:56,660
 five breakout players for Auburn this season.

1593
01:25:57,380 --> 01:25:59,220
 And I've heard this name quite often.

1594
01:25:59,220 --> 01:26:00,980
 Jordan Crawford,

1595
01:26:01,500 --> 01:26:03,560
 second year defensive lineman,

1596
01:26:03,780 --> 01:26:05,480
 has a tremendous amount of potential,

1597
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,080
 only played 40 plays.

1598
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:08,320
 But I know you went back

1599
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:09,640
 and looked at every one of them.

1600
01:26:10,620 --> 01:26:11,760
 Gavin Jenkins,

1601
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:13,020
 cornerback.

1602
01:26:13,580 --> 01:26:15,920
 I've heard his name come up quite a bit

1603
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:17,600
 with Rayshon Pleasant,

1604
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:18,580
 Darian Smith,

1605
01:26:18,740 --> 01:26:20,340
 a defensive lineman too.

1606
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:22,500
 Xavier Newsome

1607
01:26:22,500 --> 01:26:24,720
 has been a big surprise

1608
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:25,620
 at tight end.

1609
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:26,620
 And then I know you had

1610
01:26:26,620 --> 01:26:27,540
 Corey Pettigrew,

1611
01:26:28,220 --> 01:26:28,960
 second year.

1612
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:29,500
 Listen,

1613
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:31,200
 if three of these guys

1614
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:32,240
 come out

1615
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:33,620
 and have solid seasons,

1616
01:26:33,620 --> 01:26:34,580
 they're going to help.

1617
01:26:36,260 --> 01:26:36,780
 Yeah.

1618
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:37,960
 I'll tell you,

1619
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,340
 I'm going to narrow that down to one

1620
01:26:40,340 --> 01:26:41,200
 because last year,

1621
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,500
 I'm kind of proud of myself.

1622
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:44,980
 I picked Xavier Atkins

1623
01:26:44,980 --> 01:26:46,500
 to be the breakout player.

1624
01:26:47,260 --> 01:26:47,360
 Now,

1625
01:26:47,420 --> 01:26:48,620
 can I strike lightning twice?

1626
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:49,100
 I don't know.

1627
01:26:49,300 --> 01:26:49,480
 We'll see.

1628
01:26:49,780 --> 01:26:53,120
 But I'm leaning more towards

1629
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:54,580
 if I'm picking someone off this list,

1630
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:55,260
 it's going to be either

1631
01:26:55,260 --> 01:26:55,900
 Gavin Jenkins

1632
01:26:55,900 --> 01:26:57,680
 or Darion Smith.

1633
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:00,080
 Those are the two that

1634
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:01,620
 when I went back

1635
01:27:01,620 --> 01:27:02,660
 and talked today

1636
01:27:02,660 --> 01:27:03,380
 with some sources

1637
01:27:03,380 --> 01:27:04,800
 and tried to figure

1638
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:05,480
 some things out,

1639
01:27:05,580 --> 01:27:05,800
 you know,

1640
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:06,440
 those are the two

1641
01:27:06,440 --> 01:27:07,480
 I continue to hear about.

1642
01:27:07,580 --> 01:27:08,220
 Just good news

1643
01:27:08,220 --> 01:27:08,880
 on those guys

1644
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:10,440
 and other ones too,

1645
01:27:10,780 --> 01:27:11,680
 but those two

1646
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:12,500
 more than the others,

1647
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:12,980
 I'd say.

1648
01:27:13,940 --> 01:27:14,340
 Interestingly,

1649
01:27:14,540 --> 01:27:15,120
 Jordan Crawford

1650
01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:17,140
 was working as a scout team

1651
01:27:17,140 --> 01:27:18,020
 defensive lineman today,

1652
01:27:18,100 --> 01:27:19,100
 which you have to remember,

1653
01:27:19,860 --> 01:27:20,680
 walk-ons are not

1654
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:21,540
 what they used to be.

1655
01:27:21,780 --> 01:27:23,160
 so somebody's got to do it.

1656
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:23,540
 That's right.

1657
01:27:23,860 --> 01:27:25,500
 I still expect him

1658
01:27:25,500 --> 01:27:26,640
 to be part of the rotation,

1659
01:27:26,820 --> 01:27:28,340
 but I don't know

1660
01:27:28,340 --> 01:27:28,840
 if he's going to

1661
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:29,820
 completely break out.

1662
01:27:30,060 --> 01:27:31,480
 I think St. Farrier

1663
01:27:31,480 --> 01:27:32,000
 is a guy

1664
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:33,240
 that's maybe ahead of him

1665
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:34,840
 on the pecking order.

1666
01:27:35,700 --> 01:27:35,860
 So,

1667
01:27:36,460 --> 01:27:38,060
 it's going to be really hard

1668
01:27:38,060 --> 01:27:38,960
 to pick a breakout player

1669
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:39,600
 from this team.

1670
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,080
 There's so much unknown

1671
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:41,700
 with it.

1672
01:27:42,860 --> 01:27:43,900
 Cole Pinkston again

1673
01:27:43,900 --> 01:27:44,540
 hooking up with us

1674
01:27:44,540 --> 01:27:45,620
 AuburnSports.com.

1675
01:27:45,700 --> 01:27:45,880
 Cole,

1676
01:27:45,940 --> 01:27:46,700
 as we mentioned,

1677
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:48,080
 a week from Saturday,

1678
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:49,220
 the real deal

1679
01:27:49,220 --> 01:27:50,380
 gets rocking and rolling.

1680
01:27:50,540 --> 01:27:51,600
 What is far

1681
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:52,400
 from your perspective?

1682
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:54,080
 What is your biggest concern

1683
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:54,660
 that you'd like to see

1684
01:27:54,660 --> 01:27:55,480
 this coaching style

1685
01:27:55,480 --> 01:27:56,660
 kind of take the polishing

1686
01:27:56,660 --> 01:27:57,600
 rag out on

1687
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,280
 and kind of shine things up

1688
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:00,000
 over this next

1689
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:01,440
 basically couple of weeks,

1690
01:28:01,480 --> 01:28:02,620
 less than a couple of weeks now?

1691
01:28:03,780 --> 01:28:05,040
 I think that

1692
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:06,500
 Auburn fans

1693
01:28:06,500 --> 01:28:08,040
 and people who study Auburn

1694
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:09,100
 probably don't realize

1695
01:28:09,100 --> 01:28:09,820
 the impact

1696
01:28:09,820 --> 01:28:11,520
 that Keldrick Falk

1697
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:12,900
 and Kieron Crawford

1698
01:28:12,900 --> 01:28:14,100
 really had on that team.

1699
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:16,640
 The record doesn't show it,

1700
01:28:16,700 --> 01:28:17,240
 but the defense

1701
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:18,260
 was really good for Auburn.

1702
01:28:18,340 --> 01:28:18,980
 I think it started

1703
01:28:18,980 --> 01:28:19,580
 with those two.

1704
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:21,420
 As good as Xavier Atkins

1705
01:28:21,420 --> 01:28:21,840
 was,

1706
01:28:21,900 --> 01:28:22,480
 as good as some

1707
01:28:22,480 --> 01:28:23,200
 other guys were,

1708
01:28:23,820 --> 01:28:24,580
 those two guys

1709
01:28:24,580 --> 01:28:25,240
 set the tone.

1710
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:26,720
 They were pass rushers

1711
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:27,540
 and they stopped

1712
01:28:27,540 --> 01:28:28,000
 the run

1713
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:29,640
 at an extremely

1714
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:30,180
 high level.

1715
01:28:30,300 --> 01:28:31,020
 Both are in the NFL

1716
01:28:31,020 --> 01:28:31,760
 now, of course.

1717
01:28:32,820 --> 01:28:33,600
 So you're replacing

1718
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:34,280
 those guys

1719
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:35,100
 and you're replacing

1720
01:28:35,100 --> 01:28:35,660
 them with

1721
01:28:35,660 --> 01:28:36,800
 a youngster

1722
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:37,780
 in Jared Smith

1723
01:28:37,780 --> 01:28:39,460
 and a guy

1724
01:28:39,460 --> 01:28:39,860
 who's been

1725
01:28:39,860 --> 01:28:40,720
 a rotational guy

1726
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:41,120
 only

1727
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:42,680
 in the SEC

1728
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:44,000
 in Deshaun Womack.

1729
01:28:44,100 --> 01:28:44,680
 He's never played

1730
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:45,140
 more than

1731
01:28:45,140 --> 01:28:46,960
 25 to 30 snaps

1732
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:47,360
 a game

1733
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:47,780
 and he's

1734
01:28:47,780 --> 01:28:48,060
 about to

1735
01:28:48,060 --> 01:28:48,580
 get 60.

1736
01:28:50,900 --> 01:28:51,660
 That's the biggest

1737
01:28:51,660 --> 01:28:52,480
 area of concern

1738
01:28:52,480 --> 01:28:53,000
 for me

1739
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:53,740
 overall

1740
01:28:53,740 --> 01:28:54,420
 on the team

1741
01:28:54,420 --> 01:28:54,800
 I think

1742
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:55,500
 is can they

1743
01:28:55,500 --> 01:28:56,400
 generate pass rush

1744
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:56,960
 when they don't

1745
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:57,560
 have to send

1746
01:28:57,560 --> 01:28:58,200
 all these extra

1747
01:28:58,200 --> 01:28:59,400
 players on a blitz?

1748
01:28:59,780 --> 01:29:00,620
 Can you do it

1749
01:29:00,620 --> 01:29:01,500
 with four guys?

1750
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:02,800
 And that will

1751
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:03,560
 help the defense

1752
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:04,020
 tremendously

1753
01:29:04,020 --> 01:29:04,660
 in this team

1754
01:29:04,660 --> 01:29:06,580
 and that's

1755
01:29:06,580 --> 01:29:06,920
 the area

1756
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:07,300
 for me

1757
01:29:07,300 --> 01:29:07,900
 pass rush.

1758
01:29:08,100 --> 01:29:08,540
 I need to see

1759
01:29:08,540 --> 01:29:10,220
 them pick up

1760
01:29:10,220 --> 01:29:11,100
 where those guys

1761
01:29:11,100 --> 01:29:11,600
 left off

1762
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:11,940
 or at least

1763
01:29:11,940 --> 01:29:12,700
 be close to it.

1764
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:13,760
 Absolutely.

1765
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:15,400
 Listen,

1766
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:16,100
 bang up

1767
01:29:16,100 --> 01:29:16,940
 coverage

1768
01:29:16,940 --> 01:29:18,000
 all week.

1769
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:18,500
 This is

1770
01:29:18,500 --> 01:29:19,440
 mock game

1771
01:29:19,440 --> 01:29:19,980
 week

1772
01:29:19,980 --> 01:29:21,220
 by the way.

1773
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:21,720
 In fact,

1774
01:29:21,820 --> 01:29:22,540
 I think that's

1775
01:29:22,540 --> 01:29:23,340
 a nice touch

1776
01:29:23,340 --> 01:29:24,240
 balance goal

1777
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:24,520
 which

1778
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:25,780
 just go ahead

1779
01:29:25,780 --> 01:29:26,300
 and to have

1780
01:29:26,300 --> 01:29:27,240
 a dry run

1781
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:28,220
 so to speak

1782
01:29:28,220 --> 01:29:29,380
 as far as

1783
01:29:29,380 --> 01:29:30,060
 getting ready

1784
01:29:30,060 --> 01:29:31,380
 for next week

1785
01:29:31,380 --> 01:29:33,560
 you and

1786
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:34,400
 Brian Matthews

1787
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:34,920
 and the team

1788
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:35,640
 got everything

1789
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:36,240
 covered.

1790
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:36,680
 I know

1791
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:37,520
 your article

1792
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:37,980
 about the

1793
01:29:37,980 --> 01:29:38,840
 five breakout

1794
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:39,640
 players.

1795
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:40,840
 Where can we

1796
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:41,500
 get that

1797
01:29:41,500 --> 01:29:42,140
 and all the

1798
01:29:42,140 --> 01:29:42,640
 other good

1799
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:43,220
 stuff this

1800
01:29:43,220 --> 01:29:43,520
 week?

1801
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:46,100
 AuburnSports.com

1802
01:29:46,100 --> 01:29:46,580
 part of the

1803

 On3Rivals

1804
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:47,900
 network.

1805
01:29:48,480 --> 01:29:49,620
 We still have

1806
01:29:49,620 --> 01:29:50,640
 our 75%

1807
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:51,360
 off annual

1808
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:51,700
 deal.

1809
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:52,260
 You get in

1810
01:29:52,260 --> 01:29:52,560
 for about

1811
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:53,180
 30 bucks

1812
01:29:53,180 --> 01:29:53,860
 and gets

1813
01:29:53,860 --> 01:29:54,340
 in for a

1814
01:29:54,340 --> 01:29:54,520
 year.

1815
01:29:56,480 --> 01:29:56,920
 Really,

1816
01:29:57,080 --> 01:29:57,440
 really hot

1817
01:29:57,440 --> 01:29:57,680
 deal.

1818
01:29:57,740 --> 01:29:57,980
 A lot of

1819
01:29:57,980 --> 01:29:58,440
 people taking

1820
01:29:58,440 --> 01:29:58,900
 advantage of

1821
01:29:58,900 --> 01:29:59,040
 that.

2029
01:32:05,980 --> 01:32:06,760
 less swearing.

2030
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:07,880
 Dang!

2031
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:09,120
 Slice debt.

2032
01:32:09,420 --> 01:32:09,980
 He worked

2033
01:32:09,980 --> 01:32:10,540

 get good at

2036
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:12,500

2037
01:32:12,500 --> 01:32:12,920
 can be a

2038
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:13,860

 Guy said these

2044
01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:22,340

2045
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:23,520
 At least he has

2046
01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:24,280
 money for lessons.

2047
01:32:25,380 --> 01:32:26,040

 As a fitness

2098

2099
01:33:12,460 --> 01:33:13,500
 psoriatic arthritis

2100
01:33:13,500 --> 01:33:14,500
 can slow me down.

2101

 With Sky Rizzy,

2102
01:33:15,740 --> 01:33:16,720
 Rizzin Kizumab RZA,

2103
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:17,780
 I'm treating my skin

2104
01:33:17,780 --> 01:33:18,500
 and joint symptoms

2105
01:33:18,500 --> 01:33:19,160
 so I can keep

2106
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:19,460
 moving.

2107
01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:20,680
 Sky Rizzy, a

2108
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:21,280

2109
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:22,260
 injection for adults,

2110
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:23,080
 helps me move with

2111
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:23,860
 less joint pain,

2112
01:33:24,040 --> 01:33:24,920
 stiffness, swelling,

2113
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:25,380
 and fatigue.

2114
01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:26,420
 And for those who

2115
01:33:26,420 --> 01:33:26,800
 have plaque

2116
01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:28,220
 psoriasis, 90%

2117
01:33:28,220 --> 01:33:28,780
 clearer skin

2118
01:33:28,780 --> 01:33:29,340
 is possible.

2119
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:30,740
 With Sky Rizzy,

2120
01:33:30,820 --> 01:33:31,400
 there's no daily

2121
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:31,800
 dosing.

2122
01:33:31,980 --> 01:33:32,820
 It's just four doses

2123
01:33:32,820 --> 01:33:33,640
 a year after two

2124
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:34,300
 starter doses.

2125
01:33:36,820 --> 01:33:37,660
 Don't use if

2126
01:33:37,660 --> 01:33:38,600
 allergic to Sky Rizzy.

2127
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:39,460
 Serious allergic

2128
01:33:39,460 --> 01:33:40,560

2129
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:41,700
 infections, or lower

2130
01:33:41,700 --> 01:33:42,400
 ability to fight

2131
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:43,040
 them may occur.

2132
01:33:43,260 --> 01:33:43,900
 Before treatment,

2133
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:44,460
 get checked for

2134
01:33:44,460 --> 01:33:45,080
 infections and

2135
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:45,660
 tuberculosis.

2136
01:33:46,020 --> 01:33:46,560
 Tell your doctor

2137
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:47,420
 about any flu-like

2138
01:33:47,420 --> 01:33:48,380
 symptoms or vaccines.

2139
01:33:48,860 --> 01:33:49,740
 Thanks to Sky Rizzy,

2140
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:50,640
 there's nothing like

2141
01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:51,340
 clearer skin

2142
01:33:51,340 --> 01:33:52,140
 and better movement.

2143
01:33:52,580 --> 01:33:53,640
 And that means

2144
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:54,180
 everything.

2145
01:33:54,180 --> 01:33:59,120
 Ask your doctor

01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:25,660
 for...

2221
01:35:25,660 --> 01:35:26,820
 Ooh, you guessed

2222
01:35:26,820 --> 01:35:27,420
 it, didn't you?

2223
01:35:28,220 --> 01:35:28,620
 $10.

2224
01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:31,220
 The $10 bucket

2225
01:35:31,220 --> 01:35:32,020
 of the day deal

2226
01:35:32,020 --> 01:35:32,920
 every weekday

2227
01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:34,060
 only at KFC.

2228
01:35:34,380 --> 01:35:35,180
 It's finger licking

2229
01:35:35,180 --> 01:35:35,540
 good.

2230
01:35:35,740 --> 01:35:36,420
 Prices and participation

2231
01:35:36,420 --> 01:35:36,760
 variable.

2232
01:35:36,860 --> 01:35:37,280
 Supplies last

2233
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:37,780
 not available on

2234
01:35:37,780 --> 01:35:38,060
 third-party

2235
01:35:38,060 --> 01:35:38,660
 ordering platforms.

2236
01:35:38,780 --> 01:35:39,180
 Tax extra.

2237
01:35:39,340 --> 01:35:40,380
 When you see this

2238
01:35:40,380 --> 01:35:41,140
 in your kitchen...

2239
01:35:41,140 --> 01:35:42,140
 The stainless steel

2240
01:35:42,140 --> 01:35:42,700
 fridge is covered

2241
01:35:42,700 --> 01:35:43,300
 in fingerprints.

2242
01:35:43,740 --> 01:35:44,680
 You hear this.

2243
01:35:44,940 --> 01:35:46,080
 Leslie, people are

2244
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:46,600
 going to think

2245
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:47,160
 you were raised

2246
01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:47,820
 in a barn

2247
01:35:47,820 --> 01:35:48,840
 or by wolves.

2248
01:35:49,300 --> 01:35:50,060
 Erased in a barn

2249
01:35:50,060 --> 01:35:50,680
 by wolves.

2250
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:51,440
 Fortunately,

2251
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:52,340
 Wyman's stainless

2252
01:35:52,340 --> 01:35:53,340
 steel 3-in-1

2253
01:35:53,340 --> 01:35:54,120
 cleans, shines,

2254
01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:54,640
 and protects

2255
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:55,100
 to give you

2256
01:35:55,100 --> 01:35:55,740
 the best shine.

2257
01:35:56,100 --> 01:35:56,980
 Spray and a wipe

2258
01:35:56,980 --> 01:35:57,700
 will have your fridge

2259
01:35:57,700 --> 01:35:58,680
 shining like a mirror.

2260
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:00,000
 Wow, my fridge

2261
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:00,860
 looks brand new.

2262
01:36:01,140 --> 01:36:01,840
 Your fridge looks

2263
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:02,660
 amazing, Leslie.

2264
01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:04,240
 Sorry, I was being

2265
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:04,940
 a little traumatic

2266
01:36:04,940 --> 01:36:05,340
 earlier.

2267
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:06,480
 Your kitchen

2268
01:36:06,480 --> 01:36:07,580
 says a lot about you.

2269
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:08,400
 Let it brag

2270
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:09,100
 with Wyman.

2271
01:36:09,100 --> 01:36:11,300
 This is Roger

2272
01:36:11,300 --> 01:36:11,900
 Hoover with the

2273
01:36:11,900 --> 01:36:12,980
 Crimson Tide Sports Network.

2274
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:14,100
 Join me and Tyler

2275
01:36:14,100 --> 01:36:14,840
 Watts this fall

2276
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:15,620

2277
01:36:15,620 --> 01:36:16,380
 at 6 p.m.

2278
01:36:16,380 --> 01:36:17,820
 for Crimson Tide Rewind.

2279
01:36:18,020 --> 01:36:19,120
 Live from Baumhauer's

2280
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:19,680
 Victory Grill

2281
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:20,800
 in the Stavia Hills

2282
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:21,900
 and on this great

2283
01:36:21,900 --> 01:36:22,340
 station.

2284
01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:23,600
 Tune in and roll

2285
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:24,060
 Tide.

2286
01:36:25,340 --> 01:36:29,100
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg

2287
01:36:29,100 --> 01:36:31,540
 on 93.9 The Score.

2288
01:36:32,020 --> 01:36:32,600
 Welcome back in.

2289
01:36:32,660 --> 01:36:33,260
 Coming up tomorrow,

2290
01:36:33,380 --> 01:36:34,260
 scheduled to hook up

2291
01:36:34,260 --> 01:36:35,120
 with us, top-line

2292
01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:36,120
 coach Brent Dierman,

2293
01:36:36,260 --> 01:36:37,160
 and I can almost

2294
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:37,840
 assure you, BB,

2295
01:36:38,220 --> 01:36:39,720
 he knows the name

2296
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:40,840
 of our next guest,

2297
01:36:40,900 --> 01:36:42,060
 as does everybody

2298
01:36:42,060 --> 01:36:43,000
 in college sports

2299
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:44,080
 of the entire country.

2300
01:36:44,620 --> 01:36:45,120
 Martin Newton

2301
01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:46,000
 is the vice president

2302
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:46,820
 for intercollegiate

2303
01:36:46,820 --> 01:36:48,080
 athletes at Samford

2304
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:48,800
 University.

2305
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:49,920
 Martin, welcome in.

2306
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:50,500
 How are you?

2307
01:36:51,060 --> 01:36:51,900
 Man, I am doing

2308
01:36:51,900 --> 01:36:52,560
 fantastic.

2309
01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:53,560
 Thanks for having me

2310
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:54,140
 on today.

2311
01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:54,660
 Hey, Martin.

2312
01:36:54,780 --> 01:36:55,640
 Well, we appreciate

2313
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:56,580
 you taking time out.

2314
01:36:56,620 --> 01:36:57,280
 It's not like you've

2315
01:36:57,280 --> 01:36:58,380
 got other things to do,

2316
01:36:58,460 --> 01:36:59,640
 so we do appreciate it.

2317
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:01,220
 Very interesting matchup.

2318
01:37:01,260 --> 01:37:01,740
 As we mentioned,

2319
01:37:01,820 --> 01:37:02,580
 we've got Coach Dierman

2320
01:37:02,580 --> 01:37:03,200
 on tomorrow,

2321
01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:04,220
 and he's been talking

2322
01:37:04,220 --> 01:37:05,280
 about Samford

2323
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:06,700
 since the Cows

2324
01:37:06,700 --> 01:37:07,580
 came home.

2325
01:37:07,660 --> 01:37:08,400
 This has to be

2326
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:09,580
 an exciting game,

2327
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:10,840
 neutral-sight game,

2328
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:11,840
 and by the way,

2329
01:37:11,900 --> 01:37:12,740
 at a place, Martin,

2330
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:13,500
 it has a history

2331
01:37:13,500 --> 01:37:14,320
 of its own sort,

2332
01:37:14,420 --> 01:37:15,360
 Joe Davis Stadium,

2333
01:37:15,940 --> 01:37:17,240
 home of the former guys

2334
01:37:17,240 --> 01:37:18,620
 named Jose Canseco,

2335
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:19,520
 Mark McGuire,

2336
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:20,100
 and by the way,

2337
01:37:20,220 --> 01:37:21,880
 current Atlanta Braves

2338
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:23,160
 manager, Walt Weiss.

2339
01:37:23,300 --> 01:37:23,960
 He played there

2340
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:25,080
 with the double-A stars

2341
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:25,720
 back when they were

2342
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:26,600
 the athletics,

2343
01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:28,220
 so a heck of a place

2344
01:37:28,220 --> 01:37:29,340
 to kick off the season

2345
01:37:29,340 --> 01:37:30,880
 in the Rocket City.

2346
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:32,420
 I know you are excited.

2347
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:34,140
 Yeah, we really are,

2348
01:37:34,180 --> 01:37:34,660
 and I didn't know

2349
01:37:34,660 --> 01:37:35,340
 that information

2350
01:37:35,340 --> 01:37:36,140
 about that place,

2351
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:37,040
 which is that much

2352
01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:37,660
 more special,

2353
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:38,500
 but I don't know

2354
01:37:38,500 --> 01:37:39,600
 about this neutral-sight,

2355
01:37:39,660 --> 01:37:39,760
 though.

2356
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:40,520
 We were up for the

2357
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:41,140
 press conference,

2358
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:42,460
 and you told me

2359
01:37:42,460 --> 01:37:43,140
 how many guys

2360
01:37:43,140 --> 01:37:43,960
 North Alabama

2361
01:37:43,960 --> 01:37:45,100
 plays in home for us.

2362
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:46,800
 You guys kind of

2363
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:47,400
 hoodwink me.

2364
01:37:47,460 --> 01:37:48,020
 Josh Haney,

2365
01:37:48,140 --> 01:37:49,180
 hoodwink me a little bit.

2366
01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:51,240
 Obviously,

2367
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:52,200
 this has to be fun

2368
01:37:52,200 --> 01:37:52,560
 because,

2369
01:37:53,060 --> 01:37:53,820
 let's face it,

2370
01:37:53,820 --> 01:37:54,780
 Huntsville is a

2371
01:37:54,780 --> 01:37:55,500
 growing town,

2372
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:57,360
 and for both schools,

2373
01:37:57,360 --> 01:37:58,740
 they love this opportunity

2374
01:37:58,740 --> 01:37:59,800
 because there's a lot

2375
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:00,420
 of talent

2376
01:38:00,420 --> 01:38:02,000
 in isolated places.

2377
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:02,400
 Now,

2378
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:03,180
 compared to the

2379
01:38:03,180 --> 01:38:03,800
 high school talent,

2380
01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:04,220
 Birmingham,

2381
01:38:04,340 --> 01:38:05,080
 it may not be there,

2382
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:06,020
 but they've got some kids.

2383
01:38:06,380 --> 01:38:07,300
 This has to open up

2384
01:38:07,300 --> 01:38:08,340
 so many opportunities

2385
01:38:08,340 --> 01:38:09,280
 when you come to a place

2386
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:09,760
 like this

2387
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:10,440
 and expose you

2388
01:38:10,440 --> 01:38:11,580
 to respective programs

2389
01:38:11,580 --> 01:38:13,060
 to a different area.

2390
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:14,100
 Well,

2391
01:38:14,100 --> 01:38:14,840
 it really does.

2392
01:38:14,980 --> 01:38:15,700
 We've both got

2393
01:38:15,700 --> 01:38:16,620
 great institutions,

2394
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:17,720
 and so to be able

2395
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:19,220
 to take those institutions

2396
01:38:19,220 --> 01:38:20,100
 and showcase them

2397
01:38:20,100 --> 01:38:20,640
 on the road

2398
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:22,960
 in one of the best cities

2399
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:24,860
 in the state of Alabama,

2400
01:38:24,940 --> 01:38:25,740
 it's really exciting,

2401
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:26,700
 and so we're looking

2402
01:38:26,700 --> 01:38:27,500
 forward to it.

2403
01:38:27,900 --> 01:38:28,640
 We've got a brand-new

2404
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:29,340
 football coach

2405
01:38:29,340 --> 01:38:30,240
 who's really excited

2406
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:30,960
 to get up there

2407
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:32,480
 and see what his team

2408
01:38:32,480 --> 01:38:33,540
 looks like more than anything.

2409
01:38:33,700 --> 01:38:34,320
 He's tired of playing

2410
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:35,020
 against each other,

2411
01:38:35,100 --> 01:38:36,420
 so we'll both learn

2412
01:38:36,420 --> 01:38:37,380
 a lot about ourselves

2413
01:38:37,380 --> 01:38:38,420
 in week zero.

2414
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:39,300
 Martin,

2415
01:38:39,340 --> 01:38:40,420
 it's amazing to me.

2416
01:38:41,420 --> 01:38:42,360
 Saturday night

2417
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:43,480
 will be exactly

2418
01:38:43,480 --> 01:38:45,100
 24 years

2419
01:38:45,100 --> 01:38:46,780
 since these last

2420
01:38:46,780 --> 01:38:47,520
 two teams

2421
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:48,100
 played

2422
01:38:48,100 --> 01:38:49,080
 August 29,

2423
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:50,820
 2002,

2424
01:38:50,980 --> 01:38:52,060
 and I guarantee you,

2425
01:38:52,180 --> 01:38:52,900
 I don't know

2426
01:38:52,900 --> 01:38:53,680
 if you have the numbers,

2427
01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:54,840
 but there are a lot

2428
01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:55,940
 of Sanford alumni

2429
01:38:55,940 --> 01:38:57,800
 in North Alabama

2430
01:38:57,800 --> 01:38:58,640
 who are going to be

2431
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:00,560
 pleased to be able

2432
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:01,600
 to see the team.

2433
01:39:01,780 --> 01:39:02,540
 You alluded to

2434
01:39:02,540 --> 01:39:03,280
 John Gross

2435
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:04,100
 coming in.

2436
01:39:04,260 --> 01:39:05,940
 was a lot of success

2437
01:39:05,940 --> 01:39:07,660
 at Jacksonville State.

2438
01:39:08,100 --> 01:39:09,120
 Tell our listeners

2439
01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:09,900
 a little bit more

2440
01:39:09,900 --> 01:39:10,600
 about him, Martin.

2441
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:13,260
 Well, he's an Alabama guy,

2442
01:39:13,420 --> 01:39:14,760
 and what convinced me

2443
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:15,860
 to hire him

2444
01:39:15,860 --> 01:39:16,820
 was just his roots.

2445
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:17,900
 We needed to get back

2446
01:39:17,900 --> 01:39:18,960
 to recruiting high schools

2447
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:20,000
 in the state of Alabama,

2448
01:39:20,140 --> 01:39:21,640
 especially in this area

2449
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:22,300
 that we're in

2450
01:39:22,300 --> 01:39:22,840
 and Huntsville

2451
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:23,700
 and others,

2452
01:39:23,860 --> 01:39:25,160
 and so he's an Alabama guy,

2453
01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:26,120
 coached at the high school

2454
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:27,480
 ranks forever,

2455
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:29,360
 and then went with

2456
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:30,120
 Bill Clark

2457
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:31,500
 to Jacksonville State,

2458
01:39:31,620 --> 01:39:32,600
 and then after Bill left,

2459
01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:33,260
 he took over,

2460
01:39:33,420 --> 01:39:34,620
 and he only won

2461
01:39:34,620 --> 01:39:35,400
 like eight conference

2462
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:35,920
 championships

2463
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:36,980
 at Jacksonville State,

2464
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:37,900
 took him to the finals

2465
01:39:37,900 --> 01:39:39,020
 of the FCS playoffs,

2466
01:39:39,380 --> 01:39:40,300
 and so he's been

2467
01:39:40,300 --> 01:39:41,100
 very successful

2468
01:39:41,100 --> 01:39:42,040
 everywhere he's been,

2469
01:39:42,140 --> 01:39:42,840
 but I'll tell you

2470
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:44,080
 what excites me

2471
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:44,960
 the most about him

2472
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:45,740
 is you talk about

2473
01:39:45,740 --> 01:39:47,380
 an institutional fit.

2474
01:39:48,180 --> 01:39:49,800
 He is the perfect fit

2475
01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:50,760
 for our institution,

2476
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:51,920
 and we're just so

2477
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:53,140
 thrilled to have him.

2478
01:39:53,260 --> 01:39:54,700
 He's a strong Christian man,

2479
01:39:54,820 --> 01:39:55,580
 believes in what

2480
01:39:55,580 --> 01:39:56,160
 the mission of

2481
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:56,920
 Sanford University

2482
01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:58,080
 is all about,

2483
01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:00,020
 so just couldn't be happier,

2484
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:00,500
 and I'm hoping

2485
01:40:00,500 --> 01:40:01,500
 this is my last hire.

2486
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:02,560
 I don't have many years left,

2487
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:03,200
 and I dang sure

2488
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:03,700
 don't want to have

2489
01:40:03,700 --> 01:40:04,880
 to hire another coach.

2490
01:40:06,180 --> 01:40:07,060
 Coach, we were hoping

2491
01:40:07,060 --> 01:40:08,100
 it would be like nine more

2492
01:40:08,100 --> 01:40:08,580
 because it would be

2493
01:40:08,580 --> 01:40:10,220
 for many, many more years,

2494
01:40:10,300 --> 01:40:10,640
 but hopefully

2495
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:11,460
 he'll never have to

2496
01:40:11,460 --> 01:40:12,300
 because he stays,

2497
01:40:12,340 --> 01:40:13,320
 not because of that,

2498
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:14,300
 but talk to us

2499
01:40:14,300 --> 01:40:15,000
 about this team.

2500
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:16,260
 Obviously, we talk UNA,

2501
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:17,080
 and UNA fans

2502
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:17,800
 are always curious

2503
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:19,640
 about the other team.

2504
01:40:19,760 --> 01:40:20,560
 Talk to us about

2505
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:21,680
 the team coming in

2506
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:22,200
 from Sanford.

2507
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:24,120
 To be honest with you,

2508
01:40:24,140 --> 01:40:24,980
 there's a lot of unknowns.

2509
01:40:25,780 --> 01:40:26,640
 Anytime you have

2510
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:27,420
 a coaching change,

2511
01:40:27,580 --> 01:40:28,520
 and quite frankly,

2512
01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:29,420
 even if you don't have

2513
01:40:29,420 --> 01:40:30,160
 a coaching change

2514
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:31,760
 in this world of the portal,

2515
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:32,900
 you're rebuilding

2516
01:40:32,900 --> 01:40:33,960
 a team every year,

2517
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:35,560
 so we really don't know

2518
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:35,740
 a lot.

2519
01:40:35,780 --> 01:40:36,740
 We've got a lot of unknowns.

2520
01:40:36,940 --> 01:40:37,980
 I will tell you this,

2521
01:40:38,480 --> 01:40:41,220
 the team that he's coaching today

2522
01:40:41,220 --> 01:40:44,300
 and the team that he came in

2523
01:40:44,300 --> 01:40:45,320
 and worked with

2524
01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:46,300
 in spring practice

2525
01:40:46,300 --> 01:40:47,660
 is much improved.

2526
01:40:47,780 --> 01:40:48,080
 In fact,

2527
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:48,740
 he made a comment

2528
01:40:48,740 --> 01:40:49,220
 the other day

2529
01:40:49,220 --> 01:40:50,500
 we'd beat that team by 50,

2530
01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:51,420
 and I think a lot of it

2531
01:40:51,420 --> 01:40:52,060
 has to do with

2532
01:40:52,060 --> 01:40:54,860
 just their physical presence.

2533
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:55,920
 They've gotten stronger.

2534
01:40:56,700 --> 01:40:57,940
 There's just so many unknowns.

2535
01:40:58,060 --> 01:40:58,840
 New quarterbacks,

2536
01:40:59,380 --> 01:41:00,460
 a new defensive system

2537
01:41:00,460 --> 01:41:01,640
 that we're trying to put in.

2538
01:41:02,740 --> 01:41:04,160
 It'll be an interesting test

2539
01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:04,720
 for us.

2540
01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:05,860
 I know North Alabama

2541
01:41:05,860 --> 01:41:07,280
 is a fantastic program,

2542
01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:08,260
 always has been,

2543
01:41:08,740 --> 01:41:10,700
 and so it's probably not

2544
01:41:10,700 --> 01:41:11,620
 how you want to start

2545
01:41:11,620 --> 01:41:13,680
 your tenure or your era

2546
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:14,620
 at Sanford

2547
01:41:14,620 --> 01:41:15,540
 as the new head coach

2548
01:41:15,540 --> 01:41:16,180
 having to play

2549
01:41:16,180 --> 01:41:17,380
 at North Alabama

2550
01:41:17,380 --> 01:41:17,980
 on the road,

2551
01:41:18,100 --> 01:41:19,540
 but on the same token,

2552
01:41:19,740 --> 01:41:20,820
 we're all trying

2553
01:41:20,820 --> 01:41:21,380
 to get better,

2554
01:41:21,700 --> 01:41:23,000
 and we may not see

2555
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:23,440
 a lot of,

2556
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:25,460
 on the win-loss column,

2557
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:26,040
 you may not see

2558
01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:26,920
 a lot of that this year

2559
01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:27,880
 from a win standpoint,

2560
01:41:28,440 --> 01:41:29,000
 although I think

2561
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:30,120
 this team has an opportunity,

2562
01:41:30,260 --> 01:41:31,080
 but what I will tell you

2563
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:31,500
 is this team's

2564
01:41:31,500 --> 01:41:32,140
 going to play hard,

2565
01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:33,680
 they're going to be tough,

2566
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:34,560
 and they're going to be

2567
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:35,040
 more physical

2568
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:35,560
 than we've been

2569
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:36,080
 in the past.

2570
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:37,880
 Martin Newton hooking up with us,

2571
01:41:37,900 --> 01:41:38,540
 Vice President,

2572
01:41:38,660 --> 01:41:39,720
 Intercollegiate Athletics

2573
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:40,660
 at Sanford University.

2574
01:41:40,820 --> 01:41:41,500
 Martin, talk to us

2575
01:41:41,500 --> 01:41:42,760
 about your challenge

2576
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:44,940
 and people in your position

2577
01:41:44,940 --> 01:41:46,400
 throughout the entire state.

2578
01:41:47,060 --> 01:41:47,540
 In the modern,

2579
01:41:47,700 --> 01:41:48,620
 you brought up this point,

2580
01:41:48,660 --> 01:41:49,360
 that's why it sparked

2581
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:50,060
 the note,

2582
01:41:50,440 --> 01:41:51,460
 in the modern era,

2583
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:52,560
 it's always been tough

2584
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:53,060
 to win,

2585
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:53,800
 but when you see

2586
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:54,620
 all the budgets

2587
01:41:54,620 --> 01:41:55,800
 out there from LSU,

2588
01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:56,580
 Ohio State,

2589
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:57,160
 Alabama,

2590
01:41:57,340 --> 01:41:57,580
 Auburn,

2591
01:41:57,680 --> 01:41:58,120
 et cetera,

2592
01:41:58,520 --> 01:41:59,260
 talk to us about

2593
01:41:59,260 --> 01:41:59,840
 the challenges

2594
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:00,800
 for both schools

2595
01:42:00,800 --> 01:42:01,540
 like UNA

2596
01:42:01,540 --> 01:42:02,280
 and Sanford

2597
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:03,100
 in the modern era.

2598
01:42:03,780 --> 01:42:04,520
 Yeah, it's interesting.

2599
01:42:04,660 --> 01:42:05,700
 I was talking to Greg Sankey

2600
01:42:05,700 --> 01:42:06,260
 the other day

2601
01:42:06,260 --> 01:42:06,840
 and he was talking

2602
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:07,640
 about the challenges

2603
01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:08,240
 that he's got

2604
01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:08,760
 at his level.

2605
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:09,160
 I said,

2606
01:42:09,220 --> 01:42:09,380
 you know,

2607
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:10,140
 I really don't want to do that.

2608
01:42:10,140 --> 01:42:10,620
 Oh, man.

2609
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:12,340
 Because I don't know

2610
01:42:12,340 --> 01:42:15,180
 what the question is,

2611
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:15,660
 but I know

2612
01:42:15,660 --> 01:42:16,540
 what the answer is.

2613
01:42:16,580 --> 01:42:17,400
 It's money, right?

2614
01:42:17,540 --> 01:42:18,360
 And that's,

2615
01:42:18,460 --> 01:42:19,040
 unfortunately,

2616
01:42:19,860 --> 01:42:20,800
 at our level,

2617
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:21,480
 that's what it's

2618
01:42:21,480 --> 01:42:22,100
 come down to.

2619
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:22,360
 You know,

2620
01:42:22,420 --> 01:42:23,220
 it used to be

2621
01:42:23,220 --> 01:42:24,800
 we would be more

2622
01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:26,720
 about relationships

2623
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:27,980
 and now it's all

2624
01:42:27,980 --> 01:42:28,500
 become about

2625
01:42:28,500 --> 01:42:29,140
 transactions.

2626
01:42:30,140 --> 01:42:31,440
 And that's the hard part

2627
01:42:31,440 --> 01:42:31,820
 for us

2628
01:42:31,820 --> 01:42:33,040
 because we're limited

2629
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:33,940
 on our multimedia

2630
01:42:33,940 --> 01:42:34,580
 rights deals.

2631
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:35,560
 We've got great donors.

2632
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:36,820
 Both schools have

2633
01:42:36,820 --> 01:42:37,420
 great donors

2634
01:42:37,420 --> 01:42:38,380
 and support systems.

2635
01:42:38,780 --> 01:42:39,780
 But at the end of the day,

2636
01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:41,260
 it's just a challenge

2637
01:42:41,260 --> 01:42:41,820
 to figure out

2638
01:42:41,820 --> 01:42:42,280
 how you're going

2639
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:43,260
 to continue to compete

2640
01:42:43,260 --> 01:42:44,840
 for student-athletes

2641
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:45,640
 and putting your roster

2642
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:46,600
 together every year.

2643
01:42:46,900 --> 01:42:48,620
 The thing that frustrates

2644
01:42:48,620 --> 01:42:49,340
 me the most

2645
01:42:49,340 --> 01:42:51,120
 and that I talk to people

2646
01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:51,860
 about every chance

2647
01:42:51,860 --> 01:42:52,540
 I can is we quit

2648
01:42:52,540 --> 01:42:53,100
 talking about

2649
01:42:53,100 --> 01:42:54,020
 student-athletes.

2650
01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:54,540
 We quit talking

2651
01:42:54,540 --> 01:42:55,040
 about education.

2652
01:42:55,440 --> 01:42:55,640
 That's right.

2653
01:42:55,900 --> 01:42:56,300
 That's right.

2654
01:42:56,380 --> 01:42:57,740
 And that's the hard part

2655
01:42:57,740 --> 01:42:58,000
 for me.

2656
01:42:58,100 --> 01:42:58,220
 You know,

2657
01:42:58,260 --> 01:42:59,080
 we've led the country

2658
01:42:59,080 --> 01:42:59,660
 or we've led

2659
01:42:59,660 --> 01:43:00,540
 the state of Alabama

2660
01:43:00,540 --> 01:43:01,880
 in the 10 years

2661
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:02,340
 that they've had

2662
01:43:02,340 --> 01:43:03,680
 the graduation success rate

2663
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:04,360
 or posted it.

2664
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:05,080
 We've led the state

2665
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:06,360
 and graduation success rate

2666
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:08,140
 to 97, 98, 99 percent.

2667
01:43:08,860 --> 01:43:09,960
 And that's never going to

2668
01:43:09,960 --> 01:43:11,560
 waver at our place.

2669
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:12,700
 We are not ever going

2670
01:43:12,700 --> 01:43:13,340
 to be in a position

2671
01:43:13,340 --> 01:43:14,520
 where they're just athletes.

2672
01:43:14,860 --> 01:43:15,600
 And I think UNA

2673
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:16,760
 is probably the same way.

2674
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:17,420
 We want to win.

2675
01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:18,680
 We want to be competitive.

2676
01:43:18,900 --> 01:43:19,280
 But you know what?

2677
01:43:19,340 --> 01:43:19,880
 We want to get them

2678
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:21,360
 to get a degree

2679
01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:21,940
 and we want to get

2680
01:43:21,940 --> 01:43:22,480
 an education.

2681
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:23,320
 Absolutely.

2682
01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:25,620
 Our listeners

2683
01:43:25,620 --> 01:43:26,580
 are quite familiar

2684
01:43:26,580 --> 01:43:27,540
 with you, obviously.

2685
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:28,860
 CM Newton was

2686
01:43:28,860 --> 01:43:30,000
 your dad.

2687
01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:31,220
 My brother and I

2688
01:43:31,220 --> 01:43:31,840
 got a chance

2689
01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:32,860
 to talk with him

2690
01:43:32,860 --> 01:43:34,960
 after several games.

2691
01:43:35,020 --> 01:43:35,840
 I remember one game

2692
01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:36,980
 he spent 30 minutes

2693
01:43:36,980 --> 01:43:37,800
 with us talking

2694
01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:38,400
 about some

2695
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:39,560
 of his frustrations.

2696
01:43:40,220 --> 01:43:41,020
 The only two games

2697
01:43:41,020 --> 01:43:41,860
 he could get fans

2698
01:43:41,860 --> 01:43:42,680
 to come out to

2699
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:43,860
 were Auburn

2700
01:43:43,860 --> 01:43:44,600
 in Kentucky.

2701
01:43:45,260 --> 01:43:46,360
 And he was genuine.

2702
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:48,200
 He would always

2703
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:49,280
 talk about that.

2704
01:43:50,160 --> 01:43:51,600
 The CM Newton Classic

2705
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:53,080
 is named after him

2706
01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:55,060
 December the 12th

2707
01:43:55,060 --> 01:43:55,760
 in Birmingham

2708
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:56,680
 at Legacy,

2709
01:43:57,360 --> 01:43:57,900
 Alabama

2710
01:43:57,900 --> 01:43:59,460
 and St. John's.

2711
01:43:59,540 --> 01:44:00,540
 And this has been

2712
01:44:00,540 --> 01:44:02,140
 a tremendous event

2713
01:44:02,140 --> 01:44:02,980
 over the years.

2714
01:44:03,160 --> 01:44:04,000
 Martin, talk a little bit

2715
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:04,640
 about the game.

2716
01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:05,940
 Yeah, you know,

2717
01:44:06,020 --> 01:44:07,040
 it's Michael Eady,

2718
01:44:07,220 --> 01:44:08,400
 a dear friend of mine here

2719
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:10,340
 that has an IDD company.

2720
01:44:10,580 --> 01:44:11,580
 And they came to me

2721
01:44:11,580 --> 01:44:12,240
 with this idea.

2722
01:44:12,340 --> 01:44:13,020
 And we wanted to do

2723
01:44:13,020 --> 01:44:13,700
 something to honor

2724
01:44:13,700 --> 01:44:14,260
 his legacy.

2725
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:15,520
 And his legacy

2726
01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:16,620
 was not about,

2727
01:44:16,980 --> 01:44:18,080
 you know my dad

2728
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:18,580
 as you do,

2729
01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:19,420
 it was not about

2730
01:44:19,420 --> 01:44:20,660
 just winning games

2731
01:44:20,660 --> 01:44:21,380
 and winning conference

2732
01:44:21,380 --> 01:44:21,860
 championships.

2733
01:44:22,060 --> 01:44:23,000
 His legacy was about

2734
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:23,660
 trying to change

2735
01:44:23,660 --> 01:44:24,360
 people's lives.

2736
01:44:25,020 --> 01:44:25,160
 You know,

2737
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:26,140
 integrating the

2738
01:44:26,140 --> 01:44:27,100
 Southeastern Conference

2739
01:44:27,100 --> 01:44:28,340
 and Wendell Hudson

2740
01:44:28,340 --> 01:44:28,860
 and Leon

2741
01:44:28,860 --> 01:44:29,480
 and all those

2742
01:44:29,480 --> 01:44:30,880
 homegrown guys

2743
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:32,420
 that just made

2744
01:44:32,420 --> 01:44:33,160
 such an impact

2745
01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:33,780
 on not only

2746
01:44:33,780 --> 01:44:34,880
 the University of Alabama,

2747
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:35,820
 the state,

2748
01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:37,720
 but also the country.

2749
01:44:38,440 --> 01:44:39,100
 I'll never forget

2750
01:44:39,100 --> 01:44:39,940
 the National Observer

2751
01:44:39,940 --> 01:44:40,600
 did an article

2752
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:41,260
 when Alabama

2753
01:44:41,260 --> 01:44:41,940
 was in the NIT

2754
01:44:41,940 --> 01:44:42,700
 and they started off

2755
01:44:42,700 --> 01:44:43,680
 five black players.

2756
01:44:43,700 --> 01:44:44,460
 That was unheard of

2757
01:44:44,460 --> 01:44:44,960
 in the South

2758
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:46,160
 at that time.

2759
01:44:46,260 --> 01:44:46,800
 And so I think

2760
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:47,660
 that was his legacy.

2761
01:44:47,940 --> 01:44:48,480
 And so to be able

2762
01:44:48,480 --> 01:44:49,740
 to do something for him

2763
01:44:49,740 --> 01:44:50,740
 to honor his legacy

2764
01:44:50,740 --> 01:44:51,760
 in Birmingham,

2765
01:44:51,980 --> 01:44:52,800
 to be able to give back

2766
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:53,560
 to the community,

2767
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:55,520
 and that's exactly

2768
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:56,520
 what NITD does

2769
01:44:56,520 --> 01:44:57,520
 in the University of Alabama.

2770
01:44:57,520 --> 01:44:58,320
 Alabama, and then we've had

2771
01:44:58,320 --> 01:44:59,140
 some really good teams

2772
01:44:59,140 --> 01:44:59,800
 playing this game.

2773
01:44:59,920 --> 01:45:00,380
 I mean, you've got

2774
01:45:00,380 --> 01:45:01,460
 St. John's coming

2775
01:45:01,460 --> 01:45:01,980
 this year,

2776
01:45:02,100 --> 01:45:02,960
 you had Arizona,

2777
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:04,100
 you've had Gonzaga,

2778
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:04,800
 you've had Illinois,

2779
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:06,880
 so Alabama has not

2780
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:07,500
 fared too well

2781
01:45:07,500 --> 01:45:08,960
 in the CM Newton Classic,

2782
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:10,480
 so if they don't

2783
01:45:10,480 --> 01:45:11,320
 start winning some games,

2784
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:12,320
 we may not have it

2785
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:12,740
 very often,

2786
01:45:12,740 --> 01:45:14,040
 but it's a great event

2787
01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:15,180
 and it's a great way

2788
01:45:15,180 --> 01:45:16,080
 to honor.

2789
01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:16,480
 Obviously,

2790
01:45:16,480 --> 01:45:17,220
 he's my hero,

2791
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:17,840
 so I have him

2792
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:18,440
 on a pedestal,

2793
01:45:18,620 --> 01:45:19,480
 but it's a great way

2794
01:45:19,480 --> 01:45:20,360
 to honor his legacy

2795
01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:21,180
 and I think he would

2796
01:45:21,180 --> 01:45:21,960
 be really proud

2797
01:45:21,960 --> 01:45:23,140
 of this game.

2798
01:45:23,480 --> 01:45:23,960
 By the way,

2799
01:45:24,020 --> 01:45:24,880
 I was joking with you

2800
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:26,360
 the last time we had you on

2801
01:45:26,360 --> 01:45:28,120
 that you're so instrumental

2802
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:30,660
 in the NCAA Basketball

2803
01:45:30,660 --> 01:45:31,940
 Division I Council

2804
01:45:31,940 --> 01:45:32,560
 and, of course,

2805
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:34,440
 the Men's Basketball Committee.

2806
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:35,780
 If you want to do

2807
01:45:35,780 --> 01:45:37,560
 the college football playoff

2808
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:38,940
 and take that on the role

2809
01:45:38,940 --> 01:45:39,640
 as chairman,

2810
01:45:39,820 --> 01:45:41,000
 please do so.

2811
01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:42,900
 On behalf of many

2812
01:45:42,900 --> 01:45:44,400
 college football fans,

2813
01:45:44,740 --> 01:45:46,420
 please consider doing that.

2814
01:45:46,820 --> 01:45:47,720
 Well, I tell you what,

2815
01:45:47,900 --> 01:45:48,560
 I'm going to let you

2816
01:45:48,560 --> 01:45:49,400
 hold that opinion

2817
01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:50,480
 until after the tournament

2818
01:45:50,480 --> 01:45:50,980
 this year

2819
01:45:50,980 --> 01:45:52,180
 because as the chair

2820
01:45:52,180 --> 01:45:53,160
 of the basketball committee

2821
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:53,560
 this year,

2822
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:54,340
 I'm already getting

2823
01:45:54,340 --> 01:45:55,260
 beat up on expansion.

2824
01:45:55,260 --> 01:45:55,480
 Oh, man.

2825
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:57,460
 Yeah, so we'll let,

2826
01:45:57,580 --> 01:45:58,000
 we'll hold,

2827
01:45:58,080 --> 01:45:59,000
 you hold that judgment

2828
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:00,060
 until after the tournament.

2829
01:46:00,620 --> 01:46:01,540
 No, I tell you,

2830
01:46:01,540 --> 01:46:03,220
 it's been a dream come true

2831
01:46:03,220 --> 01:46:04,340
 for me to be able to serve

2832
01:46:04,340 --> 01:46:05,780
 the basketball community

2833
01:46:05,780 --> 01:46:07,020
 in that regard

2834
01:46:07,020 --> 01:46:08,200
 and I know that's another thing.

2835
01:46:08,500 --> 01:46:09,020
 My dad and I

2836
01:46:09,020 --> 01:46:09,980
 are the only father's son

2837
01:46:09,980 --> 01:46:10,720
 that have ever done that.

2838
01:46:10,760 --> 01:46:11,080
 That's right.

2839
01:46:11,100 --> 01:46:12,340
 So I'm really excited

2840
01:46:12,340 --> 01:46:12,920
 about that.

2841
01:46:13,480 --> 01:46:13,880
 Absolutely.

2842
01:46:14,180 --> 01:46:15,440
 Listen, tell Lenny Acuff

2843
01:46:15,440 --> 01:46:16,000
 what we said.

2844
01:46:16,140 --> 01:46:17,040
 Harold and Brent

2845
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:17,920
 said hello.

2846
01:46:18,820 --> 01:46:20,140
 It was such a joy

2847
01:46:20,140 --> 01:46:21,420
 to work with

2848
01:46:21,420 --> 01:46:22,480
 when he was at UAH

2849
01:46:22,480 --> 01:46:23,600
 and Bobby Champagne

2850
01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:24,360
 and he had

2851
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:25,540
 quite a few games.

2852
01:46:25,540 --> 01:46:26,460
 Listen, you're busy.

2853
01:46:26,620 --> 01:46:27,700
 Thank you so much

2854
01:46:27,700 --> 01:46:28,860
 for your time.

2855
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:29,760
 We always enjoy

2856
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:30,700
 talking with you.

2857
01:46:30,780 --> 01:46:31,680
 Have a safe trip

2858
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:32,600
 up to Huntsville.

2859
01:46:33,020 --> 01:46:34,020
 Hopefully we get a chance

2860
01:46:34,020 --> 01:46:34,580
 to see you

2861
01:46:34,580 --> 01:46:35,820
 at some point

2862
01:46:35,820 --> 01:46:36,480
 this weekend.

2863
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:37,920
 Well, I hope to see you

2864
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:38,460
 this weekend

2865
01:46:38,460 --> 01:46:39,160
 and you mentioned

2866
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:39,820
 Lenny Acuff

2867
01:46:39,820 --> 01:46:40,340
 and I'll tell you

2868
01:46:40,340 --> 01:46:40,820
 this, there's not

2869
01:46:40,820 --> 01:46:41,740
 a finer gentleman

2870
01:46:41,740 --> 01:46:43,000
 in the country

2871
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:43,680
 and maybe not

2872
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:44,380
 a better basketball

2873
01:46:44,380 --> 01:46:45,220
 coach in the country

2874
01:46:45,220 --> 01:46:45,880
 in my opinion.

2875
01:46:46,100 --> 01:46:46,940
 So I look forward

2876
01:46:46,940 --> 01:46:47,600
 to seeing you guys

2877
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:47,940

 You guys are the best.

2993
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:50,120
 Lunch,

2994
01:48:50,300 --> 01:48:50,500
 Dinner,

2995
01:48:50,580 --> 01:48:51,520
 or anytime you're craving

2996
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:52,400
 something unforgettable,

2997
01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:54,100
 it's always a winning play

2998
01:48:54,100 --> 01:48:54,900
 at Champy's.

2999
01:48:55,580 --> 01:48:56,300
 22nd Street

3000
01:48:56,300 --> 01:48:57,180
 in Muscle Shoals.

3001
01:48:57,460 --> 01:48:58,320
 Famous fried chicken,

3002
01:48:58,600 --> 01:48:59,480
 legendary sides,

3003
01:48:59,780 --> 01:49:00,560
 and a meal worth

3004
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:01,340
 cheering for.

3005
01:49:01,700 --> 01:49:02,440
 It doesn't matter

3006
01:49:02,440 --> 01:49:03,000
 if you're running

3007
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:03,940
 grills at the park,

3008
01:49:04,260 --> 01:49:05,440
 playing pickup on a Saturday,

3009
01:49:06,020 --> 01:49:07,300
 or sinking the final putt.

3010
01:49:07,440 --> 01:49:08,140
 When you compete

3011
01:49:08,140 --> 01:49:08,820
 with your friends

3012
01:49:08,820 --> 01:49:09,640
 with Michelob Ultra

3013
01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:10,260
 on the line,

3014
01:49:10,700 --> 01:49:11,600
 competition isn't

3015
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:12,160
 that friendly.

3016
01:49:12,740 --> 01:49:13,500
 The trash talk,

3017
01:49:13,620 --> 01:49:14,940
 next level,

3018
01:49:15,220 --> 01:49:15,920
 and the stakes,

3019
01:49:16,360 --> 01:49:17,920
 oh, those are crystal clear.

3020
01:49:18,300 --> 01:49:19,600
 With only 95 calories

3021
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:20,980
 and superior smooth taste,

3022
01:49:21,140 --> 01:49:22,320
 it's the ultimate trophy.

3023
01:49:22,760 --> 01:49:23,620
 Superior is worth

3024
01:49:23,620 --> 01:49:24,340
 playing for.

3025
01:49:24,620 --> 01:49:25,360
 Michelob Ultra,

3026
01:49:25,580 --> 01:49:27,000

 for the latest on UNA

 during the two weekdays

 of the Boomo Bugg Show

3038
01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:40,020
 here by 93.9 The Score.

3039
01:49:41,460 --> 01:49:43,060
 I'm still going for it.

3040
01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:44,860
 Even with higher stroke risk

3041
01:49:44,860 --> 01:49:46,080
 from etrial fibrillation

3042
01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:47,480
 and irregular heartbeat

3043
01:49:47,480 --> 01:49:48,200
 not caused

3044
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:49,280
 by a heart valve problem.

3045
01:49:50,540 --> 01:49:51,500
 In a clinical study,

3046
01:49:51,860 --> 01:49:52,960
 Eliquis apixaban

3047
01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:54,420
 reduces stroke risk

3048
01:49:54,420 --> 01:49:55,840
 and has less major bleeding

3049
01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:56,420
 than warfarin.

3050
01:49:57,080 --> 01:49:58,540
 Don't stop prescription Eliquis

3051
01:49:58,540 --> 01:49:59,720
 without asking your doctor.

3052
01:49:59,980 --> 01:50:01,220
 Stroke risk may increase.

3053
01:50:01,420 --> 01:50:02,560
 Eliquis can cause serious

3054
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:03,900
 and potentially fatal bleeding.

3055
01:50:04,220 --> 01:50:05,000
 Don't take if you have

3056
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:06,060
 an artificial heart valve,

3057
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:06,880
 abnormal bleeding,

3058
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:08,560
 or antiphospholipid syndrome.

3059
01:50:08,900 --> 01:50:09,420
 While taking,

3060
01:50:09,540 --> 01:50:10,640
 you may bruise more easily

3061
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:11,380
 or bleed longer.

3062
01:50:11,580 --> 01:50:12,460
 A spinal injection

3063
01:50:12,460 --> 01:50:13,820
 increases blood clot risk,

3064
01:50:13,860 --> 01:50:14,940
 which may cause paralysis.

3065
01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:16,520
 Get medical help right away

3066
01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:17,600
 for unexpected bleeding

3067
01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:18,320
 or bruising,

3068
01:50:18,500 --> 01:50:19,160
 or back pain,

3069
01:50:19,340 --> 01:50:19,660
 tingling,

3070
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:20,200
 numbness,

3071
01:50:20,420 --> 01:50:20,980
 muscle weakness,

3072
01:50:20,980 --> 01:50:21,960
 or incontinence.

3073
01:50:22,140 --> 01:50:22,940
 Aspirin products,

3074
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:23,620
 NSAIDs,

3075
01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:24,560
 SSRIs,

3076

 SNRIs,

3077
01:50:25,480 --> 01:50:26,160
 and blood thinners

3078
01:50:26,160 --> 01:50:27,260
 increase bleeding risk.

3079
01:50:27,380 --> 01:50:27,960
 Tell your doctor

3080
01:50:27,960 --> 01:50:28,900
 about planned medical

3081
01:50:28,900 --> 01:50:29,760
 or dental procedures.

 about the number one

3086
01:50:36,460 --> 01:50:37,600

 It's a fruity

3108

 candy-flavored explosion.

3109
01:51:17,200 --> 01:51:18,320
 And I mean explosion.

 Bill King,

 Bill King Show.

3130
01:51:42,180 --> 01:51:42,740
 Listen to me.

01:51:42,860 --> 01:51:43,620
 9 until noon.

3132
01:51:43,700 --> 01:51:44,700

 The score.

3134
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:46,480
 Monday through Friday

3135
01:51:46,480 --> 01:51:48,220
 as we talk college football

3136
01:51:48,220 --> 01:51:50,500
 like nobody else does.

3137
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:52,000
 Because he listens in Florence.

3138
01:51:52,120 --> 01:51:52,940
 Our show's, Charlie,

3139
01:51:53,020 --> 01:51:54,120
 our show's on down there.

3140
01:51:54,420 --> 01:51:55,360

3141
01:51:55,620 --> 01:51:56,440
 Monday through Friday.

3142
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:57,880
 9 until noon.

3143
01:51:58,100 --> 01:51:58,920
 Every league,

3144
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:00,160
 every big topic

3145
01:52:00,160 --> 01:52:00,660
 is covered.

3146
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:01,640

3148
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:03,840
 The score.

3149
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:04,760
 Now,

3150
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:06,460
 back with Boomo Bugg

3151
01:52:06,460 --> 01:52:07,840
 on 93-9.

3152
01:52:07,980 --> 01:52:08,860
 The score.

3153
01:52:09,140 --> 01:52:09,760
 Welcome back in.

3154
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:10,560
 It's sad to say, baby,

3155
01:52:10,740 --> 01:52:11,620
 Elmer's getting everybody

3156
01:52:11,620 --> 01:52:12,660
 geared up to drive

3157
01:52:12,660 --> 01:52:13,860
 to the UNA Sanford game.

3158
01:52:13,900 --> 01:52:14,600
 Would you agree with that?

3159
01:52:14,780 --> 01:52:15,620
 He is.

3160
01:52:16,520 --> 01:52:17,000
 No,

3161
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:18,340
 we've enjoyed having Elmer

3162
01:52:18,340 --> 01:52:19,240
 on this summer

3163
01:52:19,240 --> 01:52:20,180
 to talk about.

3164
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:22,060
 He does it the right way.

3165
01:52:22,140 --> 01:52:23,400
 A lot of it is online.

3166
01:52:23,640 --> 01:52:24,640
 He does have

3167
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:25,900
 quite a few cars

3168
01:52:25,900 --> 01:52:26,660
 on the lot,

3169
01:52:26,840 --> 01:52:28,000
 but very easy.

3170
01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:29,800
 The service is incredible.

3171
01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:30,600
 I've used it

3172
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:31,560
 quite a few times,

3173
01:52:31,680 --> 01:52:31,940
 but no,

3174
01:52:32,020 --> 01:52:33,200
 Elmer's been a delight

3175
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:34,360
 to work with

3176
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:34,880
 this summer.

3177
01:52:35,660 --> 01:52:36,260
 And the Big L

3178
01:52:36,260 --> 01:52:36,780
 local,

3179
01:52:36,900 --> 01:52:37,660
 that's the key there.

3180
01:52:37,660 --> 01:52:39,040
 Maybe the Big Ten

3181
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:40,100
 set to pass a rule

3182
01:52:40,100 --> 01:52:41,060
 in which any player

3183
01:52:41,060 --> 01:52:41,640
 who's declared

3184
01:52:41,640 --> 01:52:42,640
 for the NFL draft

3185
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:43,760
 and did not withdraw

3186
01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:46,100
 appeared on an NFL roster

3187
01:52:46,100 --> 01:52:47,480
 or signed a contract

3188
01:52:47,480 --> 01:52:48,380
 with a pro league

3189
01:52:48,380 --> 01:52:49,800
 and not be on

3190
01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:51,040
 a Big Ten roster.

3191
01:52:51,660 --> 01:52:52,420
 What is, Greg,

3192
01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:52,840
 thank you,

3193
01:52:52,880 --> 01:52:53,760
 waiting on the SEC?

3194
01:52:54,120 --> 01:52:54,440
 Well,

3195
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:55,260
 I'm going to be curious.

3196
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:56,800
 The SEC presidents

3197
01:52:56,800 --> 01:52:58,460
 and ADs have a conference

3198
01:52:58,460 --> 01:52:59,540
 called this afternoon,

3199
01:52:59,540 --> 01:53:00,340
 and I'm guessing

3200
01:53:00,340 --> 01:53:02,480
 they're going to follow suit

3201
01:53:02,480 --> 01:53:04,300
 and announce it

3202
01:53:04,300 --> 01:53:05,140
 later tonight.

3203
01:53:05,260 --> 01:53:05,640
 Again,

3204
01:53:06,140 --> 01:53:07,180
 the NCAA should have

3205
01:53:07,180 --> 01:53:07,880
 had so much

3206
01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:08,420
 of this stuff.

3207
01:53:08,620 --> 01:53:09,400
 James and I

3208
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:10,460
 were talking about this

3209
01:53:10,460 --> 01:53:11,460
 earlier in the show.

3210
01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:12,600
 James Moody,

3211
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:13,260
 our producer,

3212
01:53:13,940 --> 01:53:14,680
 the NCAA

3213
01:53:14,680 --> 01:53:16,100
 could have held

3214
01:53:16,100 --> 01:53:18,660
 80% of this

3215
01:53:18,660 --> 01:53:19,720
 Herald back

3216
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:21,780
 10 or 15 years ago

3217
01:53:21,780 --> 01:53:22,600
 and they just got,

3218
01:53:22,700 --> 01:53:23,480
 they were too greedy

3219
01:53:23,480 --> 01:53:24,480
 and didn't want to do it.

3220
01:53:25,100 --> 01:53:26,060
 That's later on,

3221
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:27,100
 but also the Braves

3222
01:53:27,100 --> 01:53:27,680
 later on.

3223
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:28,560
 It's go time.

3224
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:29,460
 They start the night

3225
01:53:29,460 --> 01:53:30,380
 three and a half

3226
01:53:30,380 --> 01:53:31,040
 up on the field.

3227
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:32,020
 Can they get the job

3228
01:53:32,020 --> 01:53:32,540
 done tonight

3229
01:53:32,540 --> 01:53:33,280
 against a pretty good

3230
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:34,100
 team, B.B.?

3231
01:53:34,100 --> 01:53:35,760
 This is a key series

3232
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:36,420
 for the Braves.

3233
01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:37,880
 Three with the Dodgers.

3234
01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:39,380
 Not when they need

3235
01:53:39,380 --> 01:53:40,060
 to be playing.

3236
01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:41,420
 The schedule really

3237
01:53:41,420 --> 01:53:42,280
 has stuffened up

3238
01:53:42,280 --> 01:53:42,980
 for the Braves

3239
01:53:42,980 --> 01:53:43,740
 and you kind of see

3240
01:53:43,740 --> 01:53:44,440
 the result.

3241
01:53:44,820 --> 01:53:45,620
 Here's the game

3242
01:53:45,620 --> 01:53:46,380
 again tonight

3243
01:53:46,380 --> 01:53:47,340
 on 93.9,

3244
01:53:47,420 --> 01:53:47,880
 but the Braves

3245
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:48,700
 really need to win

3246
01:53:48,700 --> 01:53:49,280
 this series

3247
01:53:49,280 --> 01:53:50,240
 against the Dodgers.

3248
01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:51,600
 Just about a month

3249
01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:52,320
 to go,

3250
01:53:52,420 --> 01:53:53,660
 go Braves.

3251
01:53:53,720 --> 01:53:54,100
 That's going to

3252
01:53:54,100 --> 01:53:54,720
 take care of business

3253
01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:55,080
 for now.

3254
01:53:55,260 --> 01:53:56,080
 On behalf of B.B.,

3255
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:56,920
 Greg, James Blair,

3256
01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:57,980
 the entire crew here,

3257
01:53:58,060 --> 01:53:58,540
 Peril Buck,

3258
01:53:58,600 --> 01:53:59,220
 thank you so much

3259
01:53:59,220 --> 01:54:00,040
 for your time today.

3260
01:54:00,140 --> 01:54:00,560
 Let's do it again

3261
01:54:00,560 --> 01:54:01,200
 tomorrow at noon

3262
01:54:01,200 --> 01:54:01,840
 to two for the

3263
01:54:01,840 --> 01:54:02,560
 BIMO Buck Show.

3264
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:03,360
 Back here on

3265
01:54:03,360 --> 01:54:04,640
 Sports Radio 93.9

3266
01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:05,120
 The Score.

3267
01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:10,620
 18-19 News.

3268
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:11,820
 The state of Alabama

3269
01:54:11,820 --> 01:54:12,540
 is launching

3270
01:54:12,540 --> 01:54:13,540
 the show.

3271
01:54:13,540 --> 01:54:13,540
 Thank you.

3272
01:54:13,540 --> 01:54:13,540
 Thank you.

3273
01:54:13,540 --> 01:54:13,540
 Thank you.
