1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,820
 Now, get ready to roll, Shoals, Decatur, Athens and all of Northwest Alabama and Southern Tennessee.

2
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,840
 It's time for the Valley's exclusive FM Sports Voice.

3
00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:18,360
 The Boomo Bugg Show.

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,900
 Your exclusive inside track to the tie, Tigers, Tennessee and the rest of the SEC.

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,720
 Now, your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9.

6
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,160
 The Sports.

7
00:00:30,860 --> 00:00:34,080
 Good afternoon and welcome into the Boomo Bugg Show.

8
00:00:34,180 --> 00:00:35,880
 I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird.

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,060
 Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:45,180
 Brett Beaird recommends where we're on the eve of who gets the tricks and who gets the treats on the Gridirons this weekend.

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,400
 Good afternoon, welcome in and how are you?

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,080
 Happy Halloween and happy Football Friday to you and the listeners.

13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:59,260
 We'll preview the top games in college football this weekend with Blake Lovell and Mike Hugen a little bit later.

14
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,080
 Zach Pounders with the Shoals Sports Report.

15
00:01:02,580 --> 00:01:06,380
 We'll recap a very busy Thursday night of high school football.

16
00:01:06,940 --> 00:01:15,080
 But Jimmy is here right now to preview Alabama's bi-week and preparations to face LSU next Saturday.

17
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,900
 And he is probably trying to answer the biggest question.

18
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,240
 What does a guy who loves Alabama football do on off weekend?

19
00:01:24,460 --> 00:01:26,260
 Jimmy Stein's got the answer to that and more.

20
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:35,800
 He's co-hosted Locked On Bama, part of the Locked On Network, with Luke Robinson and cover Crimson Podcasts with that Rascal Travis Reier on YouTube.

21
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:36,880
 Jimmy, welcome in.

22
00:01:36,940 --> 00:01:37,480
 How are you?

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:38,880
 Oh, doing great, guys.

24
00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:39,740
 Thanks for having me back.

25
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:40,880
 You too.

26
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,540
 The big question, Jimmy, what are you going to do with yourself this weekend?

27
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,420
 No Alabama football.

28
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,240
 This is what I'm going to do.

29
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:50,320
 I'm going to enjoy college football dress-free.

30
00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:59,060
 And I will enjoy watching what amounts to half of Alabama's peers in the sport lose.

31
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,060
 There's going to be a lot of losing on Saturday.

32
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:05,840
 Alabama will benefit from it in some ways.

33
00:02:06,020 --> 00:02:13,780
 So, just enjoying college football, watch game day and weird that maybe some of the best games of the day might be big 12 games.

34
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,840
 I remember when the last time I've ever said that was, but that seems to be the case tomorrow.

35
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,440
 So, I'm just going to enjoy college football all day and into the night.

36
00:02:21,940 --> 00:02:25,760
 Your cardiologist is going to be bored because the heart's not going to be up with the blood pressure.

37
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:28,160
 So, maybe you can get back and give them some business next week.

38
00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:32,480
 But, let's face it, this has been a banged up team.

39
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,240
 But, the other side of that argument, most teams are banged up at this point.

40
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,040
 Your thoughts about Alabama and this off week.

41
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:47,180
 Jimmy, is it safe to say priority number one is to get the troops, the front-line troops, back as healthy as possible?

42
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:50,160
 Maybe you can fill in the details of who that may be.

43
00:02:51,180 --> 00:02:53,880
 And, Steph Scout, just what can we do better on offense?

44
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:55,560
 What can we do better on defense?

45
00:02:56,060 --> 00:02:57,540
 What can we do better overall?

46
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:01,720
 Well, one of the things to improve the offense and the defense is getting guys back.

47
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,300
 I mean, it was getting a little critical there.

48
00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:08,560
 Look, Alabama was running the ball pretty well.

49
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:16,040
 Through the first four or five games, a monstrous improvement really over last season, those first four or five games.

50
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,940
 Last two or three games, it slipped, starting to look a little bit like last year.

51
00:03:21,580 --> 00:03:22,500
 And why is that?

52
00:03:23,380 --> 00:03:24,280
 Well, two reasons.

53
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,320
 Number one reason is, you're missing guys.

54
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:28,240
 You don't have to start in center.

55
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,900
 The running back that's averaging the highest yard per carry number, E.J. Crowell, he's out.

56
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:38,580
 The wide receiver that can manipulate how the defense lines up, he's out.

57
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,480
 You got other guys playing that are banged up.

58
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,880
 Even Keelan's a little banged up.

59
00:03:42,940 --> 00:03:44,540
 Michael Carroll's a little banged up.

60
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,720
 Guys that are playing doesn't mean that they're 100% healthy.

61
00:03:48,060 --> 00:03:51,080
 So, I think just getting everyone back.

62
00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:58,720
 The good news for Alabama and Alabama fans is that a lot of these guys are just banged up and not seriously injured.

63
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,200
 Most of them will be back.

64
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:03,680
 Now, you won't have Will Sanders back at left guard.

65
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,060
 No.

66
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,420
 But Mal Waldrop is now a pretty experienced player on that offensive line.

67
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:15,680
 He can get back to his more comfortable position at left guard if Rayson Delgatti is back, and that is the expectation or the hope.

68
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,720
 You get Ryan Coleman Williams back, and he's a game-changing playmaker.

69
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,440
 You're going to need that in Baton Rouge.

70
00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:25,980
 Josh Ford, a little healthier.

71
00:04:26,380 --> 00:04:29,200
 I don't think he's been himself since breaking his arm.

72
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:38,200
 That's not an unfair, not being harsh on Josh, but I'm not sure he's been the same, basically playing with one arm out there.

73
00:04:38,380 --> 00:04:42,940
 So, you get a lot of these guys back on offense and guys back on defense, too.

74
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,660
 You know, Terrence Green, I think, has been tremendously missed.

75
00:04:48,580 --> 00:04:54,540
 Zabian Brown, probably the best defensive player Alabama's put on the field in 2026.

76
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,320
 He's been out, so you probably get him back.

77
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:04,180
 So, just getting those guys back is going to help the offense and the defense considerably.

78
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:12,940
 I would, you know, last year against Georgia in the SEC championship game, that was a really, really beat-up football team, especially on offense, right?

79
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:18,900
 Well, they got a little bit of rest, and they went to Norman, and they got off to a bad start.

80
00:05:19,140 --> 00:05:21,100
 But they beat Oklahoma and Norman.

81
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:31,900
 There is no way that Alabama team that played that day in the SEC championship game would have beat Oklahoma and Norman and Tuscaloosa and Kalen DeBoer's front yard, back yard.

82
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:36,260
 They wouldn't have beat Oklahoma anywhere that day, but they got some rest.

83
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,380
 They got some guys back, and they were capable enough to win a playoff game on the road.

84
00:05:42,060 --> 00:05:49,480
 Jimmy, Alabama may have played better in the fourth quarter against Texas A&M than they'd played in the previous two games.

85
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,400
 Russell was finished the game 9 of 10.

86
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,720
 He was 5 of 5 in the fourth quarter.

87
00:05:57,380 --> 00:06:00,720
 Easy throws to running backs and tight ends.

88
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,940
 And Daniel Hill is someone else that needs to be used a little bit more in the passing game.

89
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,480
 But the tight ends caught two touchdowns.

90
00:06:09,540 --> 00:06:13,440
 Alabama scored two touchdowns in about five minutes.

91
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:20,860
 The defense, Hale, takes A&M to not one first down in the fourth quarter.

92
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:24,500
 They just look more in rhythm, and particularly the offense.

93
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:29,780
 Russell had a couple of quarterback sweeps with blockers in front of him.

94
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:34,080
 Jimmy, could they take that template in the fourth quarter and use it moving forward?

95
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:35,580
 No doubt.

96
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,780
 There was some physicality that was back on both sides of the ball, too.

97
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:50,940
 I think if there's the best tribute all season to how good of a job David Ballou does with the strength and conditioning program is that Alabama played its best football eight weeks without a bye.

98
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,180
 And in the fourth quarter of that eighth game, they played maybe their best football of the year.

99
00:06:56,660 --> 00:07:01,560
 That's a tribute to the work that Ballou and his staff do, getting the team physically ready.

100
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:04,920
 To say nothing of the fact that Alabama did that with a lot of their depth.

101
00:07:05,380 --> 00:07:12,120
 Because not only did you go into the game shorthanded, you got more shorthanded as the game went on, and they were still able to put that together.

102
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,840
 So it's a heck of a thing to build on.

103
00:07:15,140 --> 00:07:16,140
 I'm sure they have.

104
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,660
 And you're not only getting guys back.

105
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:28,280
 Hopefully, you still have that memory, you know, right there of what it feels like to have a pretty dominating performance, even if it was just over the last 20 minutes of the game.

106
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,240
 Jimmy Stein locked on Bama.

107
00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:32,980
 Jimmy, let's fast forward.

108
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:36,860
 Obviously, you know there's going to be a lot of tweaking here in the off week.

109
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:43,680
 On both sides of the equation next Saturday, and let's face it, Saturday, not Saturday night at Baton Rouge.

110
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,180
 That is always significant.

111
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,920
 Both teams are hungry for a win.

112
00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:54,720
 Both teams coming in with similar records, and we know that Lane wanted that job in Tuscaloosa.

113
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,240
 So you know he has blood in his eyes.

114
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,260
 Your thoughts just about the significance of this game for both teams.

115
00:08:01,620 --> 00:08:07,120
 And, you know, if you're just brand new to this series, you say, well, my gosh, the game is at LSU.

116
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:11,220
 If you go back and you look at history, there was a stretch where it was almost automatic.

117
00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:13,320
 When Alabama played down there, they won.

118
00:08:13,820 --> 00:08:15,740
 When LSU played up here, they won.

119
00:08:16,420 --> 00:08:17,640
 It's a strange series.

120
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:24,060
 Your thoughts just about the pressure on both sides to win, because let's face it, this is that pivotal game down the stretch.

121
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:27,920
 If you're going to be serious about going deep into the playoffs or even making the playoffs.

122
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,180
 There's multiple storylines here, all of which are interesting.

123
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,780
 But in my mind, it just really boils down to this.

124
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,280
 Both teams will and should treat this like it's an elimination game.

125
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:49,660
 Someone, when this game is over, one team or the other should feel like they just lost their way out of the college football playoff.

126
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,600
 And on the way to Nashville for the Music City Bowl, probably.

127
00:08:53,540 --> 00:08:54,260
 Very possibly.

128
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,540
 Very possibly if you lose this game.

129
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,740
 So that's what both teams are.

130
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:00,080
 So it's going to be intense.

131
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,500
 I think both teams will feel that pressure.

132
00:09:03,860 --> 00:09:05,580
 Both coaches will feel that pressure.

133
00:09:05,580 --> 00:09:06,980
 Now, here's the reality, though.

134
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,360
 It's not really true.

135
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,540
 You're not really out.

136
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:16,440
 As a matter of fact, I would pay attention to Alabama fans Tuesday night in the college football rankings this Tuesday.

137
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:18,580
 You would think that's not important at the first rankings.

138
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:22,280
 A lot of people think they should stop ranking the teams and stop putting it on a show.

139
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,180
 I disagree, and this is why.

140
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:28,800
 Well, Tuesday night, let's just say that Alabama is 10th.

141
00:09:29,020 --> 00:09:33,140
 That's kind of what I would guess is going to happen in both of the other polls, right?

142
00:09:33,620 --> 00:09:35,680
 So let's say Alabama's 10th.

143
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,920
 LSU will be about 13 or 14, most likely.

144
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,040
 I'm just guessing here.

145
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:44,700
 If you're 10 and you lose to the 13th or 14th team, how far are you falling?

146
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:46,560
 Not very.

147
00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:48,160
 Not very.

148
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:52,440
 I mean, maybe you fall down to, let's just say, 16.

149
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,140
 Well, you've got three weeks to move five spots.

150
00:09:56,460 --> 00:09:58,660
 That's not unrealistic at all.

151
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,940
 So I don't think the loser of the game is out, but I will say this.

152
00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:07,460
 I don't recommend it to either team to lose.

153
00:10:07,620 --> 00:10:08,880
 It's not a good idea.

154
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,060
 It's not putting you in a good spot.

155
00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:12,920
 But you're not out.

156
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:22,400
 And I think the Tuesday rankings will show that to people, that this really isn't an elimination game, but both teams need to feel like it is.

157
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:28,480
 Jimmy, I asked the question in the summer, who's going to be the number three receiver?

158
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,260
 And I got all sorts of answers.

159
00:10:30,940 --> 00:10:33,100
 And I always thought it might be Rico Scott.

160
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:42,180
 Well, six receptions and 156 yards against Texas A&M, plus his physical blocking has got him number three.

161
00:10:42,740 --> 00:10:44,620
 Your thoughts on Rico Scott.

162
00:10:44,740 --> 00:10:52,720
 And Jimmy, do you think we might see if they're healthy, if they work well, if they've been able to work up a little bit in practice,

163
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,500
 maybe a few more attempts or looks at Noah Rogers?

164
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,680
 And what are you hearing about AK Deer?

165
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:01,280
 Well, great questions.

166
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,620
 Now, Rico won the third receiver job because he's by far the best blocker in the room.

167
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,460
 I felt that's exactly why he was out there.

168
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:19,080
 And he should be out there because I don't think that's ever going to be a huge strength for Ryan or Lottie because they're just not the biggest guys, right?

169
00:11:19,180 --> 00:11:20,780
 I mean, it's not a lack of effort.

170
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:24,240
 It's just they're just not the biggest guys in the world.

171
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,140
 But Rico is.

172
00:11:26,140 --> 00:11:30,860
 He's not a 6'4'' guy himself, but he's all, you know, ripped up.

173
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,180
 He looks like a linebacker when you look at him.

174
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:35,100
 So Rico's a physical presence.

175
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:36,420
 That's why he won the third job.

176
00:11:36,860 --> 00:11:42,900
 The fact that he's been able to develop also into a playmaker, frankly, it's what made him into it.

177
00:11:43,060 --> 00:11:44,220
 He's an NFL football player.

178
00:11:44,420 --> 00:11:45,660
 That's the best way to describe him.

179
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,300
 He's physical just like they like on Sundays.

180
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,920
 And now he can run routes, get open, and make plays.

181
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:57,200
 So Rico has really, I think, in his year three turned a corner and developed into a pro football player.

182
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,660
 And he's an outstanding third receiver for Alabama.

183
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:08,120
 And now, for the first time, you'll have a more developed, fully developed Rico Scott, along with Ryan Colham, Williams, and Lottie Brooks.

184
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,720
 That's a great trio.

185
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:20,120
 As to the other two guys you're talking about, Brett, you know, I think that they would like to look more at Noah and A.K. Deer.

186
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:25,280
 But a couple of things, the reason they're not in the starting lineups is because they were hurt.

187
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:33,780
 Who knows if they're 100% being cleared to play and playing at 100% are two different things.

188
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,740
 So perhaps they're just not back to what they were.

189
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,920
 We wouldn't really know that.

190
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,580
 They can track that these days with the machinery they put in their pads.

191
00:12:45,820 --> 00:12:54,660
 They know if they're back to full speed, literally, or if they're back to moving the same weight they were moving in the weight room.

192
00:12:54,780 --> 00:12:56,440
 They know all that stuff, and we don't.

193
00:12:56,740 --> 00:12:59,980
 The information we'll never know is fans or supporters of the program.

194
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:09,320
 So I'm guessing with Noah and A.K. Deer both, what makes sense to me is that they're not back to what they were.

195
00:13:10,260 --> 00:13:14,520
 Because A.K. Deer was the best running back on the team during a portion of fall camp.

196
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,680
 Noah Rodgers was absolutely one of the top three receivers on the team this past spring.

197
00:13:20,380 --> 00:13:23,000
 So at their best, they can really contribute.

198
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,920
 The fact that they're not tells me that they're not at their best.

199
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,960
 And that's probably why we're not seeing them.

200
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:37,580
 The second thing, though, guys, is I think against LSU, the number of players you play with the game on the line probably shrinks a little bit.

201
00:13:38,420 --> 00:13:42,800
 But against Vanderbilt, UT Chattanooga, and even Auburn, it'll expand back up.

202
00:13:42,940 --> 00:13:50,400
 So I do think we'll see more of Noah and A.K., but it's probably going to be Nashville, Tuscaloosa, not Baton Rouge.

203
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,560
 Jimmy, this is weird.

204
00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:53,540
 You're using logic.

205
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:54,700
 This is 2026.

206
00:13:55,020 --> 00:13:55,780
 Come on, Jimmy.

207
00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:57,260
 That's a foreign language.

208
00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:59,100
 Let me ask you this, Jimmy.

209
00:13:59,200 --> 00:13:59,700
 Two things.

210
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,780
 You're circling back to RCW.

211
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,380
 One of the things he brings to the table, to me, is the X factor.

212
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,300
 It causes defenses to spend time practicing to cover him, which burns up clock.

213
00:14:12,900 --> 00:14:16,400
 Everybody's on a clock now because per NCAA rules, that's one factor.

214
00:14:16,940 --> 00:14:26,420
 The other side of the coin, what is Alabama's secondary going to do to slow down Lane, who is a master at sitting here and, oh, there's that guy, Dijon Lee over there.

215
00:14:26,420 --> 00:14:34,940
 If one thing that Lane is good at, he knows where your Achilles heel is, your thoughts just about the importance, just from an intangible standpoint,

216
00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:38,220
 of having Williams, at least right now, looks like he's going to be back.

217
00:14:38,980 --> 00:14:45,480
 And then trying to cut down on the passage of the boundary, and big Lane loves to get four or five yards on first down.

218
00:14:45,540 --> 00:14:46,000
 Who doesn't?

219
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,020
 But then he's going to go for it on fourth down once he does that.

220
00:14:50,400 --> 00:15:00,260
 One thing about getting Ryan back that's so big, and it's really a compliment to Ryan and maybe not so much a compliment to what the rest of the offense is doing,

221
00:15:00,260 --> 00:15:07,300
 but Ryan is pretty much the only player on the Alabama offense that's a where-is-he type guy.

222
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,820
 In other words, when the offense comes out on the field and gets lined up, the defense is looking around, where's number one?

223
00:15:13,820 --> 00:15:14,320
 That's right.

224
00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:21,160
 The D.C. up in the box or on the sidelines, one of the first things they identify is where did number one line up?

225
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:31,840
 They don't do that with any other player at Alabama, not Daniel Hill, not Trey Sean Brown, not E.J. Crowell, not Lottie or Rico or the wide receivers or the tight ends.

226
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,020
 Although, I do think Alabama needs to be careful about making Marshall Pritchett a tell.

227
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,320
 You know, it does seem a ton.

228
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,480
 See the Tennessee game.

229
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,620
 Yeah, when Marshall's in, they throw it, and when Marshall's out, they run it.

230
00:15:46,540 --> 00:15:48,180
 You don't need to turn into that.

231
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,640
 You have to be careful about that.

232
00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:58,240
 But Ryan is the only guy that manipulates how the defense lines up because they're concerned about where he is.

233
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:04,800
 So they've missed him because when you've got a player like that that manipulates the defense and how they line up, you can use that.

234
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:05,740
 Thank you.

235
00:16:05,740 --> 00:16:07,440
 Even when you don't plan to throw it to number one.

236
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:14,560
 Yeah, he's a heck of a decoy because the defense will line up a certain way to protect against Ryan making a big play.

237
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,000
 So, yeah, getting him back is absolutely huge.

238
00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:27,680
 As far as Lane and his motivations, you know, I know Lane would rather beat Alabama than anybody on his schedule.

239
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,360
 I'm sure that's true.

240
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,500
 But I also think Lane's going to be plenty motivated to beat Texas and at Tennessee.

241
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:36,460
 He's got a lot of tough games coming up.

242
00:16:37,220 --> 00:16:39,300
 He's an outstanding play caller.

243
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:45,200
 Obviously, Charlie Weiss, supposedly, calls the plays down there in Baton Rouge.

244
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,720
 They'll have a smart plan.

245
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,100
 Sam Leavitt, I believe, now leads the SEC in passing yards, you know, total passing yards.

246
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:55,760
 I don't think he's been the player that Keelan's been.

247
00:16:56,220 --> 00:16:57,720
 But Leavitt gets better all the time.

248
00:16:57,780 --> 00:17:00,080
 I think he's gone two straight games without turning it over.

249
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,180
 Keelan Russell's going to throw for a lot of yards.

250
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:09,280
 I'm anticipating it being a very exciting, close football game that could go either way in the fourth quarter.

251
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,100
 Mm-hmm.

252
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:11,780
 Jimmy, great stuff.

253
00:17:11,860 --> 00:17:13,740
 Always enjoyed the conversation, buddy.

254
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,840

 So you can worry about more important things.

290
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,540
 Like whether your kid is going to run toward first or third base.

291

 Browns and Steelers rematch in Pittsburgh, and I think the Brownies once again come out on top.

323
00:20:49,020 --> 00:20:50,140
 Situational spot for me.

324
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,940
 Steelers played in Paris last week.

325
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,180
 Tough week of travel for them.

326
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,320
 And now they play this physical Browns defense that ranks ninth in EPA per play.

327
00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:01,560
 And the Steelers defense has been improved, but I think they show their age on Sunday.

328
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,980
 And as annoying as it'll be, perhaps another Deshaun Watson game-winning drive.

329
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,120
 Either way, give me the Browns, plus three and a half.

 The actual best?

389
00:23:16,580 --> 00:23:17,300
 They prove it.

390
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,260

396
00:23:34,260 --> 00:23:36,980
 That's confidence you can drive on mile after mile

397
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:38,620
 because the best don't just say it,

398
00:23:38,820 --> 00:23:39,620
 they back it up.

399
00:23:39,620 --> 00:23:41,120

 His podcast is Establish the Past.

418
00:24:18,100 --> 00:24:19,080
 Blake Lovell, welcome in.

419
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:19,900
 How are you?

420
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,400
 Yeah, doing well, guys.

421
00:24:21,540 --> 00:24:22,460
 Good to know you as always.

422
00:24:22,860 --> 00:24:24,320
 Well, here's the first question.

423
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,000
 Is this weekend, is it sponsored by Bud Light,

424
00:24:27,140 --> 00:24:29,100
 Miller Light, or NCC Light

425
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:30,980
 as far as the schedule this weekend?

426
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,980
 Yeah, I'd say one of the weaker ones in the year

427
00:24:33,980 --> 00:24:35,800
 outside of the usual week

428
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,420
 where everyone's playing FCS teams.

429
00:24:37,420 --> 00:24:43,500
 But, like, yeah, it's not a lot of kind of action-packed, juicy storylines.

430
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:46,600
 But I think, you know, the biggest thing to me still is, you know,

431
00:24:46,660 --> 00:24:50,540
 you're looking at, despite some of these games not being as high-profile,

432
00:24:50,660 --> 00:24:52,860
 I mean, some of these games are elimination games.

433
00:24:53,060 --> 00:24:53,380
 They are.

434
00:24:53,460 --> 00:24:58,400
 And when it comes to just that logjam of, you know, two-loss teams and all that.

435
00:24:58,660 --> 00:25:00,560
 So, I mean, again, we talked about it before.

436
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,640
 I just don't see the SEC getting multiple teams in or anything like that with three losses.

437
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,420
 So, a couple of these teams that have got to win this weekend to stay on course.

438
00:25:09,620 --> 00:25:12,520
 And, yeah, it does make it a little bit more interesting in that department.

439
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:18,180
 Let me get your thoughts on Florida-Georgia, this time in Atlanta instead of Jacksonville.

440
00:25:18,260 --> 00:25:24,540
 We found out about an hour ago, Aaron Filo is going to be the starter for Florida.

441
00:25:24,820 --> 00:25:27,800
 Both these teams in the bye week, they should be a lot healthier.

442
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,420
 Georgia's top receivers are much healthier.

443
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:33,900
 Most people pick Georgia on this.

444
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,160
 Can Florida give them a run for their money?

445
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,100
 Yeah, I mean, I think when you look at it, I mean, Florida's obviously just been very unpredictable.

446
00:25:42,420 --> 00:25:47,280
 I mean, it's a team that started the season so well and you think they've completely turned things around

447
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:52,560
 and then they just, you know, lose that one game and then all of a sudden they lay the egg against South Carolina

448
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,960
 and you're just thinking, man, what do we do with this team?

449
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,900
 And then, oh, by the way, they came back and won in Texas.

450
00:25:56,900 --> 00:26:03,600
 So, it's just, I think because they've sort of set that foundation, it's like you could certainly see them

451
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,840
 from a talent standpoint matching up pretty well with Georgia here.

452
00:26:06,980 --> 00:26:13,740
 And having a shot, but I almost think, you know, if you're Kirby Smart, you never want to welcome a loss.

453
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,780
 But with what happened in that Auburn game and having the week off to really, you know, get into your team's head a bit,

454
00:26:21,180 --> 00:26:25,700
 I would think this is usually kind of the spot where we see Georgia bounce back in a big way.

455
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:29,920
 And again, you know, Georgia's one of the two SEC teams with Kentucky.

456
00:26:30,260 --> 00:26:35,440
 It's kind of giving itself a bit of a mulligan here to where, you know, not saying you can afford to lose one

457
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,980
 because they still have to go with Ole Miss and, you know, have some tricky games left.

458
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,660
 But I would think you play a little bit looser coming out of that game against Auburn.

459
00:26:43,780 --> 00:26:46,440
 And, yeah, I think they get back on track here.

460
00:26:46,740 --> 00:26:51,640
 And, you know, Blake, Georgia does pretty well on those neutral site games at the Georgia Dome, too.

461
00:26:51,980 --> 00:26:55,900
 So, you mentioned Ole Miss.

462
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,600
 They're taking on Auburn.

463
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,080
 Auburn knocks off Georgia.

464
00:26:59,220 --> 00:27:03,620
 Ole Miss, again, 2026, it's the Forrest Gump Special.

465
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,140
 It's kind of a box of chocolates, too.

466
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,300
 You never know what you're going to get.

467
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,500
 They're playing at Vaught-Hemingway.

468
00:27:08,580 --> 00:27:11,200
 Your thoughts about the Tigers and the Rebels.

469
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:18,240
 Yeah, I do think it's another one where, you know, from Ole Miss' perspective, like, this is a pretty significant game.

470
00:27:18,340 --> 00:27:24,440
 And we knew that if they were kind of in that position, you know, we talk about teams that have dropped games that you don't expect.

471
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,040
 I mean, that was the Florida game for them.

472
00:27:27,140 --> 00:27:29,320
 But then, you know, you now have the loss to Texas.

473
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,920
 And so, you're sitting there, you know, with a team that's got a couple good wins against LSU.

474
00:27:34,180 --> 00:27:37,520
 And, you know, the one at least to start the season with Louisville was looking fine.

475
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,860
 But now, you know, you've got to start to build that resume a bit.

476
00:27:41,980 --> 00:27:47,860
 And I think, you know, this is the kind of game where, hey, if you're Ole Miss, you're kind of been like, hey, thanks, Auburn.

477
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,280
 Because if we beat you now, it feels a little bit better in terms of what we've accomplished.

478
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:58,740
 And we'll be able to kind of move forward again with that big game on the schedule, which will mean a lot more if Ole Miss wins this game against Auburn.

479
00:27:58,940 --> 00:28:00,760
 But that one coming up against Georgia in a few weeks.

480
00:28:00,860 --> 00:28:07,560
 So, yeah, I think this is one where I tend to lean on Trinidad Chambliss and what they're going to be able to do offensively here.

481
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,280
 I feel like they can hit maybe a bit of a different level than Georgia was able to against Auburn.

482
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,940
 But, yeah, I would probably lean Ole Miss.

483
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:22,460
 But, man, I mean, like I said, how can you really discount anything with Auburn right now based on the fact that they've done something no one else has done this season.

484
00:28:22,580 --> 00:28:24,100
 That's go on the road and beat the number one team.

485
00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:28,220
 One of the more intriguing games, South Carolina at Oklahoma.

486
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:36,260
 South Carolina beating Tennessee and Florida looks like a different team with Lenore Sellers playing the way he did in 2024.

487
00:28:37,260 --> 00:28:38,780
 Oklahoma upsets Texas.

488
00:28:39,340 --> 00:28:40,200
 Your thoughts?

489
00:28:41,380 --> 00:28:46,540
 Yeah, it's another one where it's like, you know, South Carolina has one more in the loss column right now.

490
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:52,260
 But, you know, still, if you're South Carolina, you're thinking, hey, if we can win this game, you look at their remaining schedule.

491
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:52,800
 Absolutely.

492
00:28:53,220 --> 00:28:57,720
 You know, they've got Georgia at home and all the other games are very winnable.

493
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:07,080
 So it's like if you were to go on the road and win this one, you know, there's lots of possibilities still remaining for a team that we thought was going to fire their coach about two weeks ago.

494
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,420
 And so, yeah, that's just the nature of the SEC this year.

495
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,720
 And, you know, we've said it.

496
00:29:11,820 --> 00:29:15,440
 I mean, South Carolina is in the same boat as Florida and Oklahoma and Ole Miss.

497
00:29:15,540 --> 00:29:20,040
 And, like, you just don't know what you're going to get with some of these teams week in and week out.

498
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,360
 And that makes the matchup so much more interesting.

499
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:27,960
 And I think, you know, we always have tried to lean on Oklahoma's defense to be able to be the separator.

500
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,600
 It's not always been the case this season.

501
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:34,040
 But, you know, I think that may be where this game turns a little bit.

502
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,660
 But, look, the North Sellers have got some really good things in some of these high-profile matchups.

503
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,520
 And so, you know, maybe he's able to break through here.

504
00:29:41,660 --> 00:29:49,160
 But, yeah, to me, this feels like a toss-up because I think with the way these two teams have played this season, you know, you probably tend to go towards the home team here.

505
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,180
 And South Carolina has already proven they can go in and win at Florida the way they did and pull off some of these other games.

506
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:56,220
 So it should be a fun one.

507
00:29:56,820 --> 00:29:58,340
 Blake, level of Southeastern 16.

508
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:00,040
 Blake, quickly switching gears.

509
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,580
 You love yourself in basketball.

510
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,420
 The season opens up next week, the regular season.

511
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:12,020
 Coming in, how has your perspective across the league changed based on what you've seen from the respective teams in the preseason warm-ups?

512
00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:14,700
 Yeah, it's definitely changed a bit.

513
00:30:14,700 --> 00:30:22,020
 But I think, you know, Florida is still going to be, for most people, the number one team in the country or in the SEC, whichever way you want to put it.

514
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,860
 They're right there with Duke and Ashley and things.

515
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,940
 But I think, look, guys, I've said it.

516
00:30:25,940 --> 00:30:30,460
 The team, to me, that has moved up the most for me in the offseason is in Alabama.

517
00:30:31,140 --> 00:30:34,380
 That's not just going by what we saw in the exhibitions.

518
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,080
 I think it's really studying this team this summer.

519
00:30:37,340 --> 00:30:51,360
 And when you just look at the trends and the data and all this and what Nados has been able to do, 13 straight wins in the SEC, three straight seasons, 13-plus, you know, five out of the last six, there's no one else that really has that consistency.

520
00:30:51,640 --> 00:31:01,820
 And I think when you see the personnel in these exhibition games and you look at Caden Samuels, you know, you look at some of these other freshmen, I think it's going to go really well for Alabama this season.

521
00:31:02,140 --> 00:31:04,920
 And, yeah, so I think Alabama's been the biggest mover.

522
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:11,480
 We weren't really sure what to make of them earlier in the summer, but now I think we've picked them to be second in the SEC behind Florida.

523
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,840
 The team that maybe I've kind of gone backwards a little bit on is Tennessee.

524
00:31:16,420 --> 00:31:22,880
 You know, they got completely just throttled by Duke in that exhibition, lost by 39 points in that one, lost to Xavier.

525
00:31:23,620 --> 00:31:25,180
 Terrible second half for Tennessee.

526
00:31:25,460 --> 00:31:29,260
 And, look, guys, we said it towards the end of the transfer portal cycle.

527
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,480
 Tennessee is building for offense this year and not defense.

528
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,180
 And I'm really used to that with Rick Barnes' team.

529
00:31:36,220 --> 00:31:40,820
 And, boy, it could be a bit of a work in progress because they are just not very good defensively right now.

530
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,900
 Their frontcourt's got a lot of work to do.

531
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:49,180
 So, yeah, those are two teams that I think keep an eye on, especially that first couple weeks of the season, to be kind of where they're at.

532
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,000
 Absolutely.

533
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:56,100
 One of the best things college basketball ever did was adding the exhibition games to give us a little insight.

534
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,300
 Southeastern 16's got a lot of insight.

535
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,160
 Football, basketball, and baseball.

536
00:32:02,380 --> 00:32:04,420
 Where can we get online to get all the good stuff?

537
00:32:05,220 --> 00:32:06,100
 Yeah, appreciate it, guys.

538
00:32:06,220 --> 00:32:07,920
 Find us there, Southeastern 16 on YouTube.

 Many people's first serious relationship didn't start with a kiss.

588
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:27,880
 It started with a kickoff, or perhaps it was love at first hike.

589
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:32,740
 But unfortunately, many of these football lovers don't live in the same city as their team,

590
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,820
 which is why Marriott Bonvoy has hotels close to nearly every NFL stadium,

591

623
00:36:53,720 --> 00:37:00,180
 Troy Trojans were winners last night in overtime as they beat James Madison on the road 24-21.

624
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,860
 Troy fell behind 14-0 and again trailed 21-7.

625
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,580
 But the Trojans rallied in the second half to force the overtime.

626
00:37:08,580 --> 00:37:16,820
 And after getting a stop on downs in the overtime, Hayden Wolfe connected on a 27-yard field goal to give the Trojans the victory.

627
00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:21,640
 Troy is now 4-4 on the season and 2-2 in the Sunbill.

00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,660
 Oh, you guessed it, didn't you?

643
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:09,860
 $10.

644
00:38:10,860 --> 00:38:13,280
 The $10 bucket of the day deal.

645
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,780

648
00:38:20,740 --> 00:38:24,680
 From the people who brought you It's the Dog Park comes...

649
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:29,260
 It's a hot spot on your dog's leg.

650
00:38:31,380 --> 00:38:34,320
 But the internet says you can treat it at home.

651
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,480
 You're not sure, though.

652
00:38:36,700 --> 00:38:38,180
 Because now it's oozing.

653
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,200
 Protect your dog from injury and illness with Progressive Pet Insurance.

654
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:43,660
 Ooh, he's lickin' it.

655
00:38:45,220 --> 00:38:46,480

00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,560
 He's rested and ready to go.

 You can check him out online at thesuperstations.com and on the tube at 41NBC.

668
00:39:22,460 --> 00:39:23,580
 Bill Shanks, welcome in.

669
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,220
 How are you?

670
00:39:24,780 --> 00:39:25,320
 I'm good.

671
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:25,920
 Hey, Booney.

672
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,660
 You know, they've been doing this a long time, this Georgia-Florida game.

673
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:36,560
 But, Bill, how does it sound that Georgia and Florida will no longer be named the world's largest outdoor cocktail party?

674
00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:39,520
 It's now the world's largest indoor cocktail party.

675
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:40,440
 Sounds strange.

676
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,680
 Georgia and Florida at the Georgia Dome, Bill.

677
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,040
 Well, it's for two years.

678
00:39:46,140 --> 00:39:50,300
 They're redoing the stadium in Jacksonville, so they have to move them out.

679
00:39:50,300 --> 00:39:56,140
 And so they are going to Atlanta this year and Tampa next year.

680
00:39:56,300 --> 00:40:02,260
 And so it should be an interesting day, a different environment, different setting, of course.

681
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,520
 But it should be very interesting.

682
00:40:04,420 --> 00:40:04,940
 Absolutely.

683
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:10,840
 Aaron Philo was named about an hour ago the starting quarterback for the Gators.

684
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,700
 Same question I asked when we talked yesterday.

685
00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:17,680
 Which Florida team is going to show up in Atlanta?

686
00:40:17,820 --> 00:40:20,040
 The one that beat Auburn, Ole Miss, and Texas?

687
00:40:20,740 --> 00:40:24,860
 Or the one that ran out of the stadium against Missouri and South Carolina?

688
00:40:25,340 --> 00:40:28,640
 I've been the one that ran out of the stadium against Missouri and South Carolina.

689
00:40:29,060 --> 00:40:31,020
 I'm kind of hoping for that.

690
00:40:31,860 --> 00:40:32,720
 Like, they're a good team.

691
00:40:32,860 --> 00:40:33,280
 They're improved.

692
00:40:33,420 --> 00:40:34,120
 They're a good coach.

693
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,440
 They're doing some good things this year.

694
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,420
 They ought to be happy with the first year of their new head coach.

695
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,240
 And so I'm anxious to see what's going to happen.

696
00:40:44,380 --> 00:40:49,900
 But I'm not surprised I'm going to follow the boy of the offensive coordinator.

697
00:40:50,300 --> 00:40:53,900
 He was the starter before the injury, and he's healthy now.

698
00:40:53,900 --> 00:40:55,680
 He ought to be able to retain his shot.

699
00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:58,360
 So, you know, their receivers are very good.

700
00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,540
 They've got a good group of receivers.

701
00:40:59,740 --> 00:41:01,660
 Brown, Wilson, Singleton, Stockton.

702
00:41:01,780 --> 00:41:05,540
 It's a very, very good group that I think Georgia's going to have to contend with.

703
00:41:05,620 --> 00:41:07,820
 We'll see what the health status of K.J.

704
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:08,500
 Bolden is.

705
00:41:08,620 --> 00:41:12,680
 The All-American safety, who I think was very well missed in the Auburn game.

706
00:41:12,820 --> 00:41:15,060
 So, that's going to be something to watch.

707
00:41:15,140 --> 00:41:17,280
 But, of course, they've got to outrush Florida.

708
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:24,200
 They've got to contain Jane Baugh, especially since Jamal Jones is not going to be the starter.

709
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:27,460
 It needs to be the focus now to be on Jane Baugh.

710
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,160
 And I think they'll win by 80.

711
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:31,600
 Or maybe 81.

712
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:32,360
 Stay tuned.

713
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:34,960
 Bill, your thoughts about an interesting matchup.

714
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,580
 It's almost like he's facing Georgia Tech last year but wearing a different shirt.

715
00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:42,140
 In Philo and Buster Faulkner.

716
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,320
 These two guys know each other.

717
00:41:44,540 --> 00:41:47,080
 Georgia's defense knows Buster's brain trust.

718
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:48,820
 He's pretty doggone good.

719
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:54,620
 Your thoughts about that matchup that, again, in this business, I've always said it's kind of like broadcasting.

720
00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:57,600
 You're going to work with or against everybody staying long enough.

721
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:58,920
 Your thoughts about that matchup.

722
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:06,340
 Well, he's very well known as the Georgia coaches because, obviously, he was there in Athens before he went to Atlanta

723
00:42:06,340 --> 00:42:09,140
 with the Yellow Jackets as an offensive coordinator.

724
00:42:09,660 --> 00:42:14,140
 And so, he's going to know a lot about what Kirby's going to do.

725
00:42:14,220 --> 00:42:17,620
 He's going to know a lot about what Georgia has done.

726
00:42:17,620 --> 00:42:28,180
 And even not only while he was there but also as he was, you know, obviously at Georgia as an analyst.

727
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,620
 So, you know, it's the familiarity there.

728
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,300
 But, you know, they do enough to change things around a little bit.

729
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:35,240
 So, I think it's going to be interesting.

730
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:36,260
 No question.

731
00:42:36,420 --> 00:42:38,620
 It'll be interesting to see how it kind of all plays out.

732
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:48,300
 But, I think the Dawgs are, they've had an extra week to kind of prepare and to get past the Auburn situation.

733
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,600
 So, I think they're going to be ready to go.

734
00:42:51,140 --> 00:42:57,720
 I've had several of your legions of fans in this area ask me to ask you about some baseball stuff.

735
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,760
 I actually enjoy the World Series.

736
00:43:00,940 --> 00:43:02,600
 I thought it might go a little bit longer.

737
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:03,660
 But, wasn't it nice?

738
00:43:03,740 --> 00:43:05,520
 We talked about this yesterday, too.

739
00:43:06,020 --> 00:43:07,700
 Two small market teams.

740
00:43:08,740 --> 00:43:11,080
 William Contreras, and I just cringe.

741
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,260
 I'm happy for him.

742
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,280
 8-21 threw out four runners.

743
00:43:15,860 --> 00:43:17,240
 MVP of the series.

744
00:43:17,460 --> 00:43:19,240
 Freddie was a couple years ago.

745
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:25,200
 These two teams also proved you don't need to hit 150 home runs to make it to the World Series.

746
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,000
 Your thoughts?

747
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,280
 Well, Contreras was really good.

748
00:43:31,380 --> 00:43:32,040
 He was the MVP.

749
00:43:32,420 --> 00:43:33,280
 He had a lot of hits.

750
00:43:33,580 --> 00:43:35,360
 He was great behind the plate.

751
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,300
 Freddie's giving him up was a mistake.

752
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,480
 And, you know, he can't be perfect, so you're going to make mistakes.

753
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,700
 But I think they didn't believe in his catching ability.

754
00:43:46,980 --> 00:43:50,400
 They had a coach in particular, Sal Fasano, who did not believe in his catching ability.

755
00:43:50,580 --> 00:43:51,820
 And he told Alex Anthopoulos.

756
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,020
 And Alex fired him after he realized he was wrong.

757
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:55,800
 Too late.

758
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:02,000
 But still, you know, the Brewers were the best team in baseball all year.

759
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:03,820
 They kind of proved it.

760
00:44:03,820 --> 00:44:07,960
 It's kind of good to have the team that's, you know, pillar to post is the best team in baseball.

761
00:44:08,180 --> 00:44:08,740
 I think they were.

762
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,820
 And so now we'll have a freeze-out of the game.

763
00:44:13,820 --> 00:44:15,280
 Well, no, we're going to have a month.

764
00:44:16,020 --> 00:44:20,160
 We're going to have through about, you know, Monday or Tuesday through the end of November.

765
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,480
 And then it'll shut down until they come to an agreement.

766
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:27,060
 But there should be a lot of activity in the month of November, which will be a lot of fun to see.

767
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:36,280
 But, you know, the month of October really was dominated by the fact that some smaller market teams were able to do pretty well.

768
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:37,420
 And it's kind of interesting.

769
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,000
 It's taking a page out of Cignetti's book in football.

770
00:44:42,180 --> 00:44:43,100
 Know what you're doing.

771
00:44:43,220 --> 00:44:44,340
 Know how to spend money.

772
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,780
 Evaluate talent and get the most out of it.

773
00:44:47,140 --> 00:44:48,200
 It ain't complicated.

774
00:44:48,420 --> 00:44:54,520
 Bill, your thoughts in the offseason, it's about making sure to that end that you make the right decisions.

775
00:44:54,900 --> 00:45:00,500
 Your thoughts about the Braves exercising the club options on the two A-boys, Acuna and Albies.

776
00:45:01,100 --> 00:45:02,540
 Oh, that was procedural.

777
00:45:02,780 --> 00:45:03,920
 I mean, they were never going to let them go.

778
00:45:04,180 --> 00:45:07,760
 I mean, they were never going to be allowed to be free agents.

779
00:45:07,900 --> 00:45:08,640
 So that was procedural.

780
00:45:09,220 --> 00:45:10,480
 I hope they still trade Acuna.

781
00:45:11,220 --> 00:45:15,900
 And Ozzy being in his last year, I mean, that's going to be interesting to see, obviously, what's what with that.

782
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,060
 So, but that was mainly procedural.

783
00:45:18,060 --> 00:45:21,940
 And hopefully they'll come in their senses and trade Acuna, but I'm not holding my breath.

784
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,780
 Listen, talk about next week, as you mentioned, free agency begins.

785
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,920
 And we've talked about this on Nauseam now for about three years.

786
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:39,900
 And particularly, I know it's easier said than done, but picking up durable bad run starting pitchers.

787
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,100
 And I've had several people ask me this week, ask him.

788
00:45:43,380 --> 00:45:44,920
 They never use your name.

789
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,320
 So I just say, I just say him, left fielder, shortstop.

790
00:45:50,420 --> 00:45:59,680
 But some of the holes in this team, will Anthopoulos be aggressive or more aggressive beginning next week?

791
00:46:01,180 --> 00:46:03,180
 Well, I hope, I hope he will.

792
00:46:03,180 --> 00:46:17,460
 Well, I mean, I think that to run it back to the mistake, I think if you're just going to run it back and send it great to a one-year deal for $20,000, you're wasting my time.

793
00:46:18,140 --> 00:46:18,300
 Yeah.

794
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:19,100
 You really are.

795
00:46:19,260 --> 00:46:20,640
 I mean, I think that's stupid.

796
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:21,140
 And money.

797
00:46:21,220 --> 00:46:22,600
 And I think that's not enough.

798
00:46:22,740 --> 00:46:24,700
 And I think they need to do more.

799
00:46:25,140 --> 00:46:26,900
 I think they need to trade Ronald Acuna.

800
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:28,940
 They need to grow a pair and trade Ronald Acuna.

801
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,040
 Because here's the deal.

802
00:46:31,100 --> 00:46:31,680
 Here's the question.

803
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:39,080
 I mean, my desire to trade Acuna aside, all right, if you're going to want to try to mix it up a little bit, if you feel like, all right, our offense didn't work.

804
00:46:39,380 --> 00:46:42,100
 Again, it sucked in the playoffs, we've got to make a change.

805
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:43,240
 Who are you going to do?

806
00:46:43,340 --> 00:46:45,560
 You're not going to trade Riley, even though you may want to.

807
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,420
 He's got six years left in an option year.

808
00:46:48,780 --> 00:46:49,980
 You're not going to trade Olsen.

809
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,000
 He's got three years left plus an option year.

810
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,320
 And who are you going to get to play first base?

811
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,440
 He's got one year left on his deal.

812
00:46:57,540 --> 00:46:58,540
 You don't have a shortstop.

813
00:46:58,640 --> 00:46:59,420
 You don't have a left field.

814
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,180
 Then you look at Michael Harris.

815
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:03,100
 He just broke out.

816
00:47:03,180 --> 00:47:04,440
 You're not going to trade Michael Harris.

817
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:05,820
 You're not going to trade Drake Baldwin.

818
00:47:06,260 --> 00:47:08,040
 You'd love to trade Sean Murphy.

819
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,500
 Nobody would be able to get that drunk to be able to accept a trade.

820
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,280
 So if you don't trade Acuna, what are you going to do to mix this up?

821
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,500
 I mean, forget about wanting to trade Acuna.

822
00:47:19,620 --> 00:47:23,120
 If you want to mix it up a little bit, what else are you going to try to do?

823
00:47:23,220 --> 00:47:24,240
 Who else are you going to trade?

824
00:47:24,380 --> 00:47:25,680
 Answer that question for me.

825
00:47:26,340 --> 00:47:30,360
 And I just think there's only one answer, and it's Acuna, and he's got two years left.

826
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,160
 You wait until next year, you're not going to get as much.

827
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,760
 He's not going to get back to 2023.

828
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,720
 I mean, it's been four years now, 24, 25, 26.

829
00:47:39,020 --> 00:47:45,380
 He's been hurt again and again and again and again, and he's not the same player he was in 2023.

830
00:47:45,700 --> 00:47:48,140
 So you're not going to extend his contract in two years.

831
00:47:48,500 --> 00:47:49,700
 You need to trade him.

832
00:47:49,820 --> 00:47:52,440
 I'm going to buy a billboard right outside of the park.

833
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:53,520
 Trade this sucker.

834
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,040
 And it's only Bill Sheen, scan thesuperstations.com.

835
00:47:58,100 --> 00:48:03,480
 One of the ways to help answer some of the holes in this lineup and make sure that you can afford it.

836
00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:06,080
 Bill, you know better than anybody else to answer this question.

837
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:08,820
 How strong is the Braves farm system?

838
00:48:08,900 --> 00:48:16,840
 In other words, who can they call to come up and get a steal and a deal to get respectable numbers out of the kids coming up?

839
00:48:17,620 --> 00:48:19,660
 Well, they have some talent.

840
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,140
 I mean, they really do.

841
00:48:21,220 --> 00:48:24,500
 They have some very good talent that I really like.

842
00:48:25,980 --> 00:48:29,740
 I don't know how many are going to be ready for 2027.

843
00:48:32,380 --> 00:48:36,600
 You know, they have a couple of outfielders I really like.

844
00:48:36,980 --> 00:48:41,580
 Pat Cloystein and AAA, who could contribute in 2027.

845
00:48:42,460 --> 00:48:47,460
 They have Owen Carey, Eric Hartman, Conor Esenberg, maybe my favorite.

846
00:48:48,980 --> 00:48:54,420
 The first two, Hartman and Carey, are going to be back in AA to start next year.

847
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:55,720
 So they're close.

848
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,260
 Esenberg will start in Rome, and he's a little further away.

849
00:49:00,260 --> 00:49:03,120
 They've got a pretty good number of middle infielders.

850
00:49:03,260 --> 00:49:08,200
 They've got Alex Lodese, the shortstop from FSU, who was great last year.

851
00:49:08,300 --> 00:49:10,260
 John Hill, a second baseman, shortstop.

852
00:49:11,060 --> 00:49:15,000
 They've got Tate South to scene, who's in the Arizona Fall League, doing very well.

853
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,120
 They've got talent, and they've got some pitchers.

854
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,540
 I don't know how – well, Cam Caminiti may be special.

855
00:49:23,300 --> 00:49:26,880
 He's Cam Caminiti's cousin, and he may be special.

856
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:27,940
 I like Cam a lot.

857
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,260
 He's got great talent.

858
00:49:30,140 --> 00:49:32,840
 Now, of course, I don't like how they're being developed.

859
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,300
 I think their development is trash.

860
00:49:35,900 --> 00:49:40,020
 I think the development of pitchers in Major League Baseball in general and the development

861
00:49:40,020 --> 00:49:43,940
 of pitchers in Atlanta Braves' organization is trash, and I keep on saying it loud to hope

862
00:49:43,940 --> 00:49:48,180
 someone with the organization will hear me and say, well, what do you mean?

863
00:49:48,660 --> 00:49:52,500
 Well, I mean, I'll give you about an hour and a half, and I'll tell you what you're doing wrong.

864
00:49:53,140 --> 00:49:55,400
 You're not letting these pitchers develop.

865
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,300
 You're making wimps out.

866
00:49:58,420 --> 00:50:05,120
 I mean, the other day, that skinny boy, Mizorowski, I think his great-grandfather, hit a home run

867
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,640
 in the 1960 World Series, as you probably remember.

868
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,740
 I mean, he came out after five and two-third in the signing game of the World Series.

869
00:50:12,740 --> 00:50:12,740
 I know.

870
00:50:12,740 --> 00:50:13,040
 I know.

871
00:50:13,180 --> 00:50:15,180
 I'm like, what the h***'s wrong with these people?

872
00:50:15,380 --> 00:50:16,080
 Let them pitch.

873
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:16,640
 Absolutely.

874
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,860
 Remember in the bad news fairs and breaking training where they went to the Astrodome,

875
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,640
 and they let them play, and they went on to, let them play.

876
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:25,620
 Let them play.

877
00:50:25,620 --> 00:50:26,680
 Let them pitch.

878
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,400
 Let them go out there and pitch.

879
00:50:28,860 --> 00:50:30,980
 It's nuts, and it pisses me off.

880
00:50:32,340 --> 00:50:36,820
 December the 1st is the red-letter day, of course, for the strike.

881
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,840
 Are you more optimistic or pessimistic?

882
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,060
 I think everybody believes this is going to be one.

883
00:50:43,140 --> 00:50:44,380
 They just don't know how long.

884
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:47,260
 Is this going to last 30 days or six months?

885
00:50:47,820 --> 00:50:49,340
 No, it ain't going to last about 30 days.

886
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,640
 That's for sure.

887
00:50:51,640 --> 00:51:01,320
 Well, I mean, I keep on saying it's going to be, I mean, I think it's going to be into the spring.

888
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:08,480
 It'll be 20, 27 in the spring, and I think they'll miss a paycheck.

889
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,320
 They'll miss some revenue, and they'll say, oh, you've got to come to some point.

890
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:17,780
 But now the owners are dug in their heels, and they're saying, we're going to keep this going

891
00:51:17,780 --> 00:51:20,400
 until you accept the salary cap, and I don't know what's going to happen.

892
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,840
 We may be doing extensive E! True Hollywood stories on the Bumo Bucks show.

893
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:25,240
 Absolutely.

894
00:51:27,020 --> 00:51:28,360
 Which will be a ratings killer.

895
00:51:28,620 --> 00:51:29,140
 It would be.

896
00:51:29,620 --> 00:51:30,720
 Pickleball, man. Pickleball.

897
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,820
 But, you know, I mean, I've already made my contingency plans.

898
00:51:34,940 --> 00:51:37,840
 We're going to have college baseball and minor league baseball in the Super Bowl.

899
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:38,620
 That's smart to do.

900
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:39,640
 That's smart.

901
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,740
 So, you know, because the minor leagues are not impacted.

902
00:51:42,860 --> 00:51:44,420
 It's just the people on the 40-man roster.

903
00:51:44,940 --> 00:51:48,360
 But I think it's going to be, the biggest thing is it's going to be,

904
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,480
 and I hate it that we're not going to have the full offseason.

905
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,340
 Look, if the thing hadn't happened four years ago, I think Freddie Freeman would still be a break.

906
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:57,280
 Wow.

907
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:02,440
 I truly believe that because I think the fact that they, you know, had November,

908
00:52:02,540 --> 00:52:05,880
 they couldn't come to an agreement in November, and then obviously they went on,

909
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,260
 they were locked out, they came back, and they had to put their roster together pretty quickly.

910
00:52:10,660 --> 00:52:12,200
 Well, that cost the brace for Eddie Freeman.

911
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,360
 If they'd had more time to talk, they may have come to an agreement.

912
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:18,560
 So I hate that it's going to impact another offseason more than anything.

913
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,900
 I agree with you entirely, and you're right.

914
00:52:20,900 --> 00:52:22,080
 It's not just the revenue.

915
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:28,400
 It's program content in the spring and early summer if this mask doesn't get worked out.

916
00:52:28,540 --> 00:52:33,360
 Okay, now, if trick-or-treaters come to see you, I know you're probably going to be in Atlanta,

917
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:39,640
 but they're dressed in Alabama and Auburn costumes, or you can give them any candy or give them a finger.

918
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:46,340
 Well, if any Auburn kid dressed up as an Auburn Tiger's drive-thrued neighborhood, I'm running them down.

919
00:52:46,900 --> 00:52:50,460
 I'm going to absolutely mow them down, so they better not come in.

920
00:52:50,460 --> 00:52:51,960
 Oh, my Lord have mercy.

921
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:52,900
 You heard it, right?

922
00:52:53,260 --> 00:52:57,960
 I mean, I'd help you a Dateline BC episode because I'm going to run those.

923
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:03,000
 The Macon police may be listening to this right now.

924
00:53:03,060 --> 00:53:07,920
 Plus, I'll call D-Packs on the stupid parent putting him in an Auburn Tiger jersey.

925
00:53:08,060 --> 00:53:10,420
 That's what I got awful right there.

926
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,320
 All right, safe travels to Atlanta.

927
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:18,200
 Where can we get online to listen to predictions and all the other good stuff this afternoon?

928
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,800
 TheSuperstations.com

929
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,900
 Bill, this should be a War Eagle-free weekend for you.

930
00:53:24,980 --> 00:53:26,980
 Safe travels to and from and enjoy, okay?

931
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:28,420
 Thank you.

932
00:53:28,500 --> 00:53:28,920
 See you, buddy.

00:53:29,740 --> 00:53:32,320

 Mike Hugen is going to be taking us coast to coast on the college grid irons.

938
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:46,140
 It's regular season.

939
00:53:46,260 --> 00:53:47,040

00:55:25,620 --> 00:55:27,380
 It's Elmer Pierce from Garner Pierce Autos.

962
00:55:27,460 --> 00:55:32,340
 Are you tired of being told that it will take two weeks to service your vehicle or even to look at it to tell you what's wrong with it?

963
00:55:32,420 --> 00:55:35,920
 Are you tired of being told that it's going to be $200 to $300 an hour for labor?

964
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:42,920
 At Garner Pierce Autos, we have four full-time certified and trained technicians that have over 75 years of automotive service experience.

00:56:04,180 --> 00:56:06,140
 All right, grab some buds and listen up.

971
00:56:07,020 --> 00:56:08,060
 Grilling season's here.

972
00:56:08,620 --> 00:56:10,700
 Now we find out what we're made of.

973
00:56:11,100 --> 00:56:13,500
 Are we going to fold under pressure and overcook the burgers?

974
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:19,460
 Or are we going to nail the carne asada and the brisket and pack the coolers with ice-cold Budweiser and Bud Light?

975
00:56:19,660 --> 00:56:26,160
 Because that's the difference between winning and losing, between flipping burgers and grilling like a pro.

976
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,780
 This summer, grill like a pro with Bud and Bud Light.

977
00:56:30,020 --> 00:56:30,700

 Paul Feinbaum here to tell you about Bush's Grilling Beans.

981
00:56:45,060 --> 00:56:49,700
 Bold and flavorful baked beans designed to be an easy side dish solution,

982
00:56:49,820 --> 00:56:53,060
 especially when you don't have to cook an elaborate recipe.

983
00:56:53,800 --> 00:57:02,620
 Bush beans are ready to heat and serve, making it easy to add a flavorful side to tailgates, watch parties, and game day gatherings.

984
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:07,980
 Rich, slow-simmered navy beans in bold spice blends and savory sauces.

985
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,720
 Bush's beans, available in a variety of flavors.

986
00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:17,000
 Strong communities are built in the places where life happens, where families build their lives,

987
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,800
 where students build their futures, where businesses create opportunity.

988
00:57:21,420 --> 00:57:26,400
 Bloom Energy provides reliable power for the places communities depend on every day.

989
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:30,140

990
00:57:30,620 --> 00:57:34,620
 clean, quiet power that uses little water right where it's needed,

991
00:57:34,940 --> 00:57:37,100
 so communities can keep moving forward.

992
00:57:37,620 --> 00:57:38,220
 Bloom Energy.

993
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,560
 Power America relies on.

994
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:53,880
 Alabama State Senator Arthur Orr is continuing to question the efficacy of the Alabama beverage control stores that are funded by Alabama taxpayer money.

995
00:57:53,880 --> 00:58:01,560
 Orr was on FM Talk 1065 out of Mobile, where he was critical of the loss of money that's occurring at some of these ABC stores throughout the state.

996
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:10,340
 Well, I tell you what, I'm going to get a bill and we're going to get into the retail pharmaceutical business and start selling prescription drugs and things like that,

997
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:23,160
 since it's a controlled substance, and let's go compete against Walgreens and Super X or whomever in the drug market, in the pharmaceutical market.

998
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:33,660
 And that shows the ridiculousness of having our competing out there against mom and pop retailers around the state.

999
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:41,980
 And actually, Sean's subsidizing a fair number of stores, state ABC stores, that lose money year after year after year or so.

1000
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:51,300
 The news cycle can be overwhelming, to say the least.

1001

 The Coleman Regional Medical Center is going to get federal funding to acquire a surgical robot that cost will be about $2.5 million,

1005
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:25,120
 and it will come from the appropriations budget for 2026, as allotted by the Congressional Labor, Health, and Human Services and Education Committee.

1006
00:59:25,460 --> 00:59:30,540
 The surgical robot will help surgeons conduct the operations with minimal incisions and loss of blood.

 100 yards.

1023
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,020
 And the Tide adds to its lead.

1024
01:00:20,540 --> 01:00:21,820

 Thank you so much for giving us a free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

1046

 And for Mike, who can open the door and sing hello as National College football slash basketball analyst in Orlando, Florida.

1047
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:24,400
 I've got a thing.

1048
01:02:24,460 --> 01:02:28,800
 A lot of fans in his backyard is going to be having a pretty big ball game this weekend.

1049
01:02:29,060 --> 01:02:29,860
 Mike, welcome in.

1050
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:30,460
 How are you?

1051
01:02:31,100 --> 01:02:32,140
 Doing quite well.

1052
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:32,500
 Hey, man.

1053
01:02:33,060 --> 01:02:40,100
 Are you ready for some Georgia-Florida football with a little bit different feel to it this year where it's played?

1054
01:02:40,820 --> 01:02:44,820
 Yeah, they're redoing, obviously, the stadium in Jacksonville this year.

1055
01:02:44,940 --> 01:02:46,140
 It's in Atlanta next year.

1056
01:02:46,660 --> 01:02:47,460
 It's in Tampa.

1057
01:02:48,220 --> 01:02:54,220
 Still going to be 50-50 in terms of fans, though I would assume more Georgia fans will show up since it's in Atlanta.

1058
01:02:54,380 --> 01:02:57,260
 But this is the last time we saw Georgia on the field.

1059
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:58,520
 They were losing to Auburn.

1060
01:02:59,700 --> 01:03:07,980
 And Gunnstock then turned it over three times, including a huge fourth-quarter fumble that led to Auburn's game-winning field goal.

1061
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:10,780
 Georgia still has some concerns.

1062
01:03:10,820 --> 01:03:13,020
 Georgia fans with a running back injury.

1063
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:19,660
 Their best defensive player, K.J. Bolden, is questionable.

1064
01:03:19,900 --> 01:03:21,120
 He hasn't played in a while.

1065
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:23,920
 He's a big part of their secondary.

1066
01:03:24,380 --> 01:03:27,820
 A secondary that can be exploited at times.

1067
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:38,740
 The flip side for Florida, they've got to get a good game from Jaden Ball, who's playing 12 miles from where he went to high school in the Atlanta area.

1068
01:03:38,740 --> 01:03:43,740
 And I talked about the Georgia secondary being susceptible at times.

1069
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,380
 Florida's secondary is susceptible throughout.

1070
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,300
 It's a bad group.

1071
01:03:48,860 --> 01:03:51,580
 So, a lot of interesting subplots.

1072
01:03:51,940 --> 01:03:57,440
 I think both teams know if they win out, they're going to be in the college football playoff.

1073
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,720
 I think that's obviously – I think Georgia's the better team.

1074
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:02,780
 They are favored by double digits.

1075
01:04:03,020 --> 01:04:07,380
 But I think the spread is a little bit too high.

1076
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:09,700
 Yeah, I was going to ask you about that, Mike.

1077
01:04:09,740 --> 01:04:13,360
 You look at – obviously, the folks in Vegas, they're sold on Georgia.

1078
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,760
 But the great equalizer sometimes is that T-O word, turnover.

1079
01:04:17,260 --> 01:04:22,140
 You look at Gunnar Stockton three times against Auburn, and Auburn took advantage.

1080
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:23,500
 But go back before that.

1081
01:04:23,620 --> 01:04:30,080
 Gunnar Stockton and this Georgia team basically put the ball on the carpet four times against Alabama.

1082
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:33,020
 The difference, they were able to recover all those.

1083
01:04:33,380 --> 01:04:34,120
 What's going on?

1084
01:04:34,140 --> 01:04:35,520
 That's a total of seven.

1085
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:37,360
 One time it didn't hurt them.

1086
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:38,260
 Next time it did.

1087
01:04:38,340 --> 01:04:39,440
 You just can't keep doing it.

1088
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:40,540
 I call it the Red Cross.

1089
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,900
 You can't just keep backing up and giving them charity.

1090
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:46,840
 Your thoughts on what's going on from that aspect of what should be a season quarterback?

1091
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,360
 Yeah, I think some of it's not on Stockton, but a lot of it is.

1092
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:58,020
 The fumble against Auburn where he runs into his center, where he runs into him, depending on how you want to say it.

1093
01:04:58,180 --> 01:05:01,920
 But, you know, Stockton is not an elite quarterback.

1094
01:05:02,260 --> 01:05:05,580
 But he is upper-tier quarterback.

1095
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,600
 I think Georgia has the quarterback advantage.

1096
01:05:09,860 --> 01:05:13,300
 Florida has the wide receiver and running back advantage.

1097
01:05:13,660 --> 01:05:17,120
 So the offensive line, I think Georgia's is better.

1098
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:22,680
 But I think Aaron Filo will start tomorrow for Florida.

1099
01:05:23,020 --> 01:05:24,540
 He came.

1100
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:28,540
 He's from a high school that's about 15 miles from the Georgia campus.

1101
01:05:29,540 --> 01:05:34,600
 So the Florida quarterback and the Florida running back were not Georgia recruiting players.

1102
01:05:35,660 --> 01:05:39,220
 You wonder if there's a chip on the shoulder playing basically at home.

1103
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,420
 But the biggest difference in the team is the defense.

1104
01:05:42,620 --> 01:05:45,380
 Georgia has a defense, I think, that can be counted upon.

1105
01:05:45,940 --> 01:05:49,600
 And Florida secondary, again, it's not very good.

1106
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,380
 And a couple teams have run the ball effectively on Florida.

1107
01:05:54,900 --> 01:06:03,780
 So this is, you know, it's not the greatest game, but it is the best game of the weekend, which I think is more an indictment of the weekend than anything else.

1108
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:08,180
 This is not a high-level, I've got to watch every single game weekend.

1109
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:12,320
 But that means there's going to be some wild stuff going on, because that's the way it always turns out.

1110
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,500
 But this is the Florida-Georgia game.

1111
01:06:17,180 --> 01:06:23,420
 This is important in the SEC race, and it is important in the college football playoff race.

1112
01:06:23,500 --> 01:06:27,400
 I think everyone assumes, well, yeah, Georgia is going to win.

1113
01:06:27,460 --> 01:06:31,380
 But I think Florida has the potential to do some damage.

1114
01:06:31,980 --> 01:06:34,820
 And Florida is starting three wide receivers.

1115
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:42,140
 They have not been on the field together since play five of the opener.

1116
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:43,120
 Wow.

1117
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,060
 So these dudes can make plays.

1118
01:06:46,060 --> 01:06:47,960
 Florida has a better receiving core.

1119
01:06:48,620 --> 01:06:54,080
 So if Philo has time to throw, this could be very interesting.

1120
01:06:54,780 --> 01:06:57,400
 Mike, another very interesting national game.

1121
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:02,100
 Ohio State and USC tomorrow night on NBC.

1122
01:07:02,340 --> 01:07:04,620
 The Buckeyes are a seven-and-a-half-point favorite.

1123
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:12,000
 Freshman Luke Fahey is starting in place with you and saying he's got a shoulder-arm situation.

1124
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:14,800
 This is a big game for Lincoln Riley.

1125
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:25,080
 He's 5-15 against top 25 teams in his tenure, and they got dismantled by a much-improved Wisconsin team.

1126
01:07:25,180 --> 01:07:30,760
 USC gained negative 17 yards rushing and scored seven points.

1127
01:07:31,340 --> 01:07:35,460
 The lowest amount of points for a Lincoln Riley team ever.

1128
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,080
 A lot of subplots here, Mike.

1129
01:07:38,140 --> 01:07:40,040
 This is a big game for Lincoln Riley.

1130
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,740
 Yeah, I think this is sort of a last-stand game for Lincoln Riley.

1131
01:07:43,740 --> 01:07:56,980
 I think if you're a USC fan who still believes in him, if they lose tomorrow to an Ohio State quarterback who, I don't know how good this kid is.

1132
01:07:57,020 --> 01:08:00,020
 He's a three-star freshman recruit from L.A.

1133
01:08:01,020 --> 01:08:03,760
 Mission VA, Ohio, and the L.A. suburbs.

1134
01:08:05,180 --> 01:08:07,540
 You know, Ohio State has to come across the country.

1135
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:14,920
 It's a very difficult road trip because flying that far, that's problematic for pro teams, much less college teams.

1136
01:08:15,140 --> 01:08:15,320
 Yeah.

1137
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:19,300
 And you wonder what the Ohio State offense is going to look like without saying.

1138
01:08:19,300 --> 01:08:26,140
 Michigan, and I still think Ohio State's going to win because I do not believe in the USC defense.

1139
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:30,580
 I think that Ohio State will be able to run the ball effectively.

1140
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:36,380
 You mentioned the fact that Ohio State, I'm sorry, that USC had trouble running on Wisconsin.

1141
01:08:36,940 --> 01:08:38,320
 Ohio State's defense is better.

1142
01:08:40,140 --> 01:08:48,840
 Unless Ohio State's offense is just absolute garbage tomorrow, which I guess it could be, I think Ohio State's going to win.

1143
01:08:49,100 --> 01:08:58,100
 You know, Jeremiah Smith, even if your quarterback is not good, I think you can tell him, hey, Duke, go on the field, look for number four.

1144
01:08:58,440 --> 01:09:01,420
 And even if he's double-covered, just throw it high, he'll get it.

1145
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:05,640
 And that's the kind of receiver Jeremiah Smith is.

1146
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:13,660
 But, yeah, I think that Lincoln Riley, he's owed a ton of money if SC wants to move on from him.

1147
01:09:14,420 --> 01:09:23,560
 But I think after, if they lose tomorrow, I don't see why anybody would have any belief in Lincoln Riley doing anything in the Big Ten.

1148
01:09:24,500 --> 01:09:29,840
 Mike Hogan and college football analysts across the country for football and basketball.

1149
01:09:30,420 --> 01:09:31,780
 Auburn at Ole Miss.

1150
01:09:32,100 --> 01:09:35,620
 Auburn has shown they can beat you, and I don't care what your number is, on the road.

1151
01:09:35,740 --> 01:09:37,040
 It is against Georgia.

1152
01:09:37,900 --> 01:09:39,340
 They're on the road to Ole Miss.

1153
01:09:39,440 --> 01:09:41,320
 They've been like a box of chocolates this season.

1154
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,720
 It looks like they're going to be down their top running back.

1155
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:45,740
 Auburn at Ole Miss.

1156
01:09:45,860 --> 01:09:47,140
 Your thoughts on that one, Mike?

1157
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:55,320
 Yeah, it's a little interesting to me that it's on the SEC network, because I tend to think of SEC network games as a little bit below.

1158
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:56,520
 On the shelf, yeah.

1159
01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:58,640
 This is interesting.

1160
01:09:58,820 --> 01:10:01,020
 What kind of game does Byron Brown play?

1161
01:10:01,820 --> 01:10:05,360
 That's what George, that's the, he played really good against Georgia.

1162
01:10:05,460 --> 01:10:05,860
 They won.

1163
01:10:06,260 --> 01:10:07,400
 He did not play good last week.

1164
01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:07,840
 They lost.

1165
01:10:08,420 --> 01:10:11,480
 And he did, you know, he did not run effectively against Florida.

1166
01:10:11,580 --> 01:10:12,020
 They lost.

1167
01:10:12,380 --> 01:10:14,120
 He's got to run the ball against Ole Miss.

1168
01:10:14,900 --> 01:10:20,920
 I think Chambliss is going to have a big day, because I don't think much of the Auburn secondary.

1169
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,420
 But, yeah, and you're right.

1170
01:10:24,500 --> 01:10:27,800
 I mean, the idea, Auburn can't win this game.

1171
01:10:27,980 --> 01:10:30,440
 Well, they won this 21-point underdog in Athens.

1172
01:10:31,100 --> 01:10:32,580
 So, there is that hope.

1173
01:10:33,300 --> 01:10:35,600
 I still think Ole Miss is a better team.

1174
01:10:36,220 --> 01:10:44,860
 I don't think Ole Miss is as productive offensively as people expected, and that's a direct reflection of T'Juan Lacey not playing.

1175
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:48,020
 I still think Ole Miss wins.

1176
01:10:48,020 --> 01:10:58,200
 But Byron Brown, if he has the same kind of game running the ball as he did against Georgia, Auburn can pull another upset.

1177
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,960
 I think Ole Miss knows that, though.

1178
01:11:03,060 --> 01:11:07,500
 I think there's – I think that – I don't – you know, I trust Chambliss more than I trust Gunnar Stockton.

1179
01:11:08,140 --> 01:11:09,540
 I think Ole Miss wins.

1180
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:11,540
 Let me ask you real quick.

1181
01:11:11,780 --> 01:11:19,700
 Arizona and Texas Tech, Noah Fafita has been on absolute fire.

1182
01:11:20,020 --> 01:11:22,840
 Texas Tech has a very good defensive front seven.

1183
01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:27,620
 As everybody knows, I don't think this is as good of a Texas Tech team.

1184
01:11:27,620 --> 01:11:28,920
 They're ranked number 13.

1185
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,440
 Does Texas Tech win and cover the three-and-a-half?

1186
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:34,280
 This is fascinating.

1187
01:11:34,480 --> 01:11:36,800
 The idea that they're only favored by three-and-a-half at home.

1188
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:38,280
 It does.

1189
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:40,400
 Fafita is really good.

1190
01:11:40,940 --> 01:11:43,280
 If you haven't seen him play, he has a list of them at 5'10".

1191
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:46,100
 That dude's more like 5'9", maybe 5'8".

1192
01:11:46,100 --> 01:11:50,240
 But he runs around, makes huge plays with his legs and with his arms.

1193
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:52,480
 He's got a strong arm despite his black thighs.

1194
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:55,480
 Brent Brennan's a really good coach.

1195
01:11:56,300 --> 01:11:59,300
 If it comes down to coaching, I think Arizona's got the name.

1196
01:12:00,300 --> 01:12:03,140
 Texas Tech's defense, though, is solid.

1197
01:12:03,300 --> 01:12:05,460
 The offense is just not very good.

1198
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,320
 Texas Tech goes to Cincinnati last week.

1199
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,580
 Their roster costs twice as much as Cincinnati.

1200
01:12:12,900 --> 01:12:13,620
 They lose.

1201
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,900
 Cody Campbell has a social media meltdown.

1202
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:21,280
 I think a bunch of folks nationally were like, come up and you've got to love this.

1203
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,560
 Arizona certainly, I think, will be the sentimental favorite tomorrow.

1204
01:12:26,140 --> 01:12:29,760
 But, yeah, the fact that it's only a three-and-a-half point spread, I think,

1205
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:34,780
 shows that Vegas doesn't think all that highly of this Texas Tech team.

1206
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,380
 Their offense is not as good as last year's.

1207
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,640
 Their defense isn't as good as last year's.

1208
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,940
 If Fafita throws for 300, I think Arizona wins.

1209
01:12:44,060 --> 01:12:45,560
 I think that's the key figure.

1210
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:48,200
 Let's see what Texas Tech does.

1211
01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:50,140
 Playing in Lubbock.

1212
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,280
 You know, Arizona fans can get there if they want to.

1213
01:12:54,500 --> 01:12:55,980
 That's a fascinating game.

1214
01:12:56,140 --> 01:12:59,180
 It's unfortunate to me that that's an 11 a.m.

1215
01:12:59,220 --> 01:12:59,740
 Yes.

1216
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:02,120
 That's just ridiculous.

1217
01:13:02,940 --> 01:13:07,200
 At some point, fans have got to show some backbone.

1218
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:09,920
 We ain't kicking off in the morning anymore.

1219
01:13:10,780 --> 01:13:12,120
 I agree with you entirely.

1220
01:13:12,380 --> 01:13:12,920
 And you're right.

1221
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:14,160
 Not the greatest slate.

1222
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,360
 Boy, I tell you one thing, next Saturday is, though.

1223
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,940
 That's one of the best ones we've seen in years.

1224
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:22,080
 And they had a really good one earlier this year.

1225
01:13:22,580 --> 01:13:24,960
 Listen, happy Halloween to you and your family.

1226
01:13:25,260 --> 01:13:28,280
 Enjoy watching another great day of college football.

1227
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:30,000
 Have a great weekend.

1228
01:13:30,140 --> 01:13:31,580
 Let's do this again next Friday.

1229
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:32,300
 Excellent.

1230
01:13:32,460 --> 01:13:33,680
 And college basketball starts.

1231
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:34,960
 Oh, amen to that, too.

1232
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:36,220
 Hard to believe.

1233
01:13:36,220 --> 01:13:37,240
 All right, talk to you guys next week.

1234
01:13:37,380 --> 01:13:37,500
 Appreciate it.

1235
01:13:37,500 --> 01:13:37,900
 All right, buddy.

1236
01:13:38,580 --> 01:13:41,100
 Christmas in October slash November.

1237
01:13:41,220 --> 01:13:43,780
 Mike Huganen checking in from the big old Orlando.

1238
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,840
 Coming up, what a night last night on the High School Gridirons.

1239
01:13:47,940 --> 01:13:49,080
 And what about tonight?

1240
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:50,900
 This Easter, Zach Pounder is next.

1241
01:13:50,980 --> 01:13:51,400
 Stay with us.

1242
01:13:55,580 --> 01:13:57,960
 Well, you know what happens when the seasons change.

1243
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,460
 The pests come looking for a place to stay.

1244
01:14:00,460 --> 01:14:01,960
 Don't give them an invitation.

1245

01:14:35,780 --> 01:14:40,420
 When you compete with your friends with Michelob Ultra on the line, competition isn't that friendly.

1256
01:14:40,980 --> 01:14:41,760
 The trash talk?

1257
01:14:42,460 --> 01:14:43,180
 Next level.

1258
01:14:43,180 --> 01:14:44,180
 And the stakes?

1259
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,180
 Oh, those are crystal clear.

1260
01:14:46,580 --> 01:14:50,600
 With only 95 calories and superior smooth taste, it's the ultimate trophy.

1261
01:14:51,060 --> 01:14:52,600
 Superior is worth playing for.

1262

 No, I'm shaking the pill version of Ozempic, which no one should ever do except in ads like this.

01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:09,820
 My perspective changed when I became a mom,

01:16:10,020 --> 01:16:16,100
 taking necessary steps to make sure my son and my husband are protected if anything ever happens to me.

 Kylie, what's wrong?

1310
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:18,120
 I just got hit with a car repair bill.

1311
01:17:18,300 --> 01:17:19,020
 I'm behind on rent.

1312

1329
01:18:23,440 --> 01:18:24,160
 Hello again, everybody.

1330
01:18:24,340 --> 01:18:25,100
 I'm Roger Hoover.

1331
01:18:25,540 --> 01:18:29,640
 Here are thoughts from Alabama football head coach Kalen DeBoer from Wednesday's edition of

1332
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:33,280
 Hey Coach and the Kalen DeBoer show presented by Alpha Insurance.

1333
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:38,880
 You know, you brought up Rico Scott earlier and just him playing and now at a level where,

1334
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,080
 you know, it isn't just lots here that can go make plays.

1335
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,020
 And, you know, hopefully there's an element where Ryan's back.

1336
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:50,860
 You're just building that, that those guys that, hey, when, when the game's on the line

1337
01:18:50,860 --> 01:18:55,400
 have gone and made plays for you now and had success doing it.

1338
01:18:55,400 --> 01:19:01,700
 And so, again, that's a lot of guys across the board that now at different positions have had to step up in some form or fashion,

1339
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:03,260
 special teams included.

1340
01:19:03,500 --> 01:19:07,500
 And so, you know, just a confidence that needs to continue to just grow.

1341
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:14,920
 But that only happens through the hard work, the investment, the execution that happens in practice carrying over to a game.

1342
01:19:15,500 --> 01:19:17,260
 Are you ready for game day in Tuscaloosa?

1343
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:22,140

1354
01:20:01,440 --> 01:20:03,960
 live from Baumhauer's Victory Grill in Tuscaloosa.

1355
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:07,340
 The show starts at 6 p.m. and you don't want to miss it.

1356
01:20:07,500 --> 01:20:08,360
 Roll Tide.

1357
01:20:09,180 --> 01:20:10,260
 The score.

1358
01:20:10,660 --> 01:20:15,320
 Now, back with Boomo Bugg on 93.9 The Score.

1359
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:16,860
 Welcome back again.

1360
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,680
 If it's Friday, it's time to say hello to Zach Connors.

1361
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,860
 He's the founder and editor of Shoals Sports Report.

1362
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:23,060
 Zach, welcome in.

1363
01:20:23,140 --> 01:20:23,720
 How are you?

1364
01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:24,900
 Doing good.

1365
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:25,260
 How are y'all?

1366
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:25,640
 Doing good.

1367
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:27,520
 The day we dread, Zach.

1368
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:30,300
 The last Friday of the regular season for high school football.

1369
01:20:30,460 --> 01:20:33,740
 But before we kind of take a sneak peek ahead of what's on top tonight,

1370
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,640
 I would imagine it was a pretty busy Thursday night for you and a lot of folks

1371
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:39,220
 on the high school grid irons in the area.

1372
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:43,400
 Yeah, a lot of times playing last night to get a day off before the playoff,

1373
01:20:43,580 --> 01:20:44,440
 the next day off.

1374
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,260
 And plus the coaches, just something people don't know a whole lot about,

1375
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,580
 all the coaches in the playoffs have to be about going to be at 9 a.m. tomorrow

1376
01:20:51,580 --> 01:20:52,580
 for a meeting with the state.

1377
01:20:52,740 --> 01:20:52,960
 Sure.

1378
01:20:53,500 --> 01:20:56,980
 So, for the coaches, tonight you can kind of go watch every play in the first round

1379
01:20:56,980 --> 01:21:01,460
 or head to Montgomery tonight to get a room to drive at 5 a.m. in the morning to go to Montgomery.

1380
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:05,380
 I've always been amazed at that.

1381
01:21:05,980 --> 01:21:07,980
 Let's look at some of the games last night.

1382
01:21:08,060 --> 01:21:11,140
 I believe you covered Lexington and Rodgers.

1383
01:21:11,780 --> 01:21:13,680
 Lexington finishes there in 91.

1384
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:17,540
 Their only loss, I actually saw, against Colbert County.

1385
01:21:17,780 --> 01:21:20,080
 Colbert County scores with 18 seconds.

1386
01:21:20,660 --> 01:21:24,040
 They beat Rodgers last night 47-21.

1387
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:28,460
 We've talked about Zane Kilburn all year and then Sawyer Howard.

1388
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,580
 They've had a great, that's a great duo.

1389
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:35,000
 I believe in the playoffs, Rodgers will travel to Oniana.

1390
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:38,220
 Rodgers finishes the season 5-5.

1391
01:21:38,340 --> 01:21:42,480
 And Ohatchee will travel to Lexington at 91.

1392
01:21:42,700 --> 01:21:45,180
 Talk about, I think you saw this game last night.

1393
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:49,840
 Yeah, Lexington at 2-8, 2-8, 2-8, 3-8 last night with the win.

1394
01:21:50,420 --> 01:21:51,620
 Had Lexington a loss.

1395
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:56,100
 Then Phil Campbell winning would have made it more count to 9-5, Colbert County.

1396
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,320
 But, Lexington, it was 21-14 in the third quarter.

1397
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:01,640
 After that, it was a route, basically.

1398
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:03,940
 They got to 34-14 in the third quarter.

1399
01:22:04,500 --> 01:22:06,260
 And then 47-21 to finish.

1400
01:22:06,620 --> 01:22:11,000
 And it was a route after that third quarter when it was in the score.

1401
01:22:12,060 --> 01:22:15,840
 But, Rodgers couldn't go offensively against Lexington's defense.

1402
01:22:16,500 --> 01:22:19,940
 Both had to battle penalties and just a tough rivalry game.

1403
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,940
 Where I found it, in my article this week, both could be 0-9 in that game.

1404
01:22:24,060 --> 01:22:25,540
 And if they go 1-9, they're 5.

1405
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,140
 Zach Panthers, the show's sports report.

1406
01:22:30,260 --> 01:22:33,240
 Zach, Florence High fans, including the crew.

1407
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,220
 Kevin Johnson probably got home this morning right before the rooster crowed

1408
01:22:37,220 --> 01:22:39,420
 from the long road trip to Fort Payne.

1409
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:40,540
 It's worth it.

1410
01:22:40,540 --> 01:22:41,180
 They win.

1411
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:44,940
 The significance of that is it helps keep the momentum going into the postseason.

1412
01:22:45,020 --> 01:22:48,940
 Your thoughts about Florence winning last night and getting ready to build on that momentum

1413
01:22:48,940 --> 01:22:50,100
 heading into the postseason.

1414
01:22:51,100 --> 01:22:51,240
 Yeah.

1415
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,020
 Florence and most of the show's both last night had a struggle out of the gate.

1416
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:56,580
 Florence was down 14-0 to him, 135-14.

1417
01:22:56,980 --> 01:23:01,620
 Most of the show's got down 7 or 10-0 early and went up winning 34-19.

1418
01:23:02,460 --> 01:23:05,120
 But I thought it was kind of a weird night with those two, getting down early.

1419
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:07,060
 Fort Payne's going to miss the playoffs.

1420
01:23:07,300 --> 01:23:08,260
 Huntsville's going to make the playoffs.

1421
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:12,940
 But it's a weird game if you play a team not making the playoffs and you're making the playoffs.

1422
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:16,160
 Everything that plays forward versus nothing that plays forward with pride and joy.

1423
01:23:16,980 --> 01:23:17,920
 Always a weird game.

1424
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:24,800
 I'd rather play a game where both of us in the playoffs and both of us play forward than both out of the playoffs

1425
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,540
 or once in the playoffs and one's not.

1426
01:23:28,780 --> 01:23:29,220
 Absolutely.

1427
01:23:29,220 --> 01:23:32,200
 Yeah, I saw that most of the show's game.

1428
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,020
 They pulled away in the second half.

1429
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,680
 In fact, Huntsville scored on the last play of the game.

1430
01:23:38,380 --> 01:23:39,740
 We've talked about Hatton.

1431
01:23:40,020 --> 01:23:45,100
 They finished the regular season undefeated at 10-0.

1432
01:23:45,460 --> 01:23:49,360
 They beat a very good central team, 35-9.

1433
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:53,600
 Cade Parham was actually out of the game, but what did they do?

1434
01:23:53,660 --> 01:23:54,440
 They run the ball.

1435
01:23:54,440 --> 01:23:59,520
 They ran the ball very well, I believe for over 250 yards.

1436
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:03,820
 Severius Evans was out, but they kept going.

1437
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,200
 I believe New Hope is going to be coming to Hatton.

1438
01:24:07,740 --> 01:24:09,460
 New Hope plays the game tonight.

1439
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,600
 And then Central Florence is going to be hosting Vinemont.

1440
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:14,760
 Heath Wood has had a great year.

1441
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,540
 Lucas Price, we've talked about it a lot.

1442
01:24:17,660 --> 01:24:22,560
 But congratulations to Hatton finishing the season undefeated.

1443
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:27,880
 Yeah, Hatton and Central, one of the guys that are both in the playoffs,

1444
01:24:28,060 --> 01:24:29,980
 both reaching champions, like the last 10, basically.

1445
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,700
 Hatton was up in the 35-0 before Central even scored on a safety.

1446
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:38,040
 And I want to say it was a bad snap for Hatton to help Central score that two-point safety.

1447
01:24:39,140 --> 01:24:42,920
 But with Hatton, though, coming down to three guys is the best thing for them.

1448
01:24:43,460 --> 01:24:54,660
 And I heard last night on the news, Coach Stover said something about this coming together when they had consolidated R.A. Hubbard in the Hatton, East Lawrence, Lawrence County.

1449
01:24:55,140 --> 01:24:57,880
 So, it's three schools, basically, you're not into one.

1450
01:24:58,440 --> 01:25:02,740
 And they'll look back on it 20, 30 years and remember what they did this year.

1451
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:07,780
 Zach, obviously, tonight some people are going to be wrapping it up.

1452
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,180
 They're going to put the footballs and the mothballs missing playoffs.

1453
01:25:10,440 --> 01:25:11,320
 Others getting ready.

1454
01:25:11,440 --> 01:25:11,900
 Talk to us.

1455
01:25:11,900 --> 01:25:13,740
 Who's got the most on the line tonight?

1456
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:19,420
 Is there a team in our neck of the woods that needs to stamp their ticket tonight to keep the ball rolling?

1457
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,920
 Wilson and Carpenter are the only game on both ends in the playoffs.

1458
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:27,960
 Tonight, boy, with this game, it's kind of a last test for both.

1459
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:30,840
 And with this game, it's an interesting spot, too.

1460
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,800
 Carpenter County has not been able to get stopped this all season.

1461
01:25:34,480 --> 01:25:41,800
 Wilson has gotten stopped, but also has had an issue with teams that are historically good in Carpenter and Larder County.

1462
01:25:42,060 --> 01:25:45,720
 And Central, but Wilson also runs the ball at the best of them.

1463
01:25:46,300 --> 01:25:47,620
 Carpenter County has toured the best of them.

1464
01:25:48,060 --> 01:25:49,100
 Wilson is going to be explosive.

1465
01:25:49,420 --> 01:25:50,480
 Carpenter County can be explosive.

1466
01:25:50,900 --> 01:25:52,940
 But Wilson can get stopped when they need to.

1467
01:25:53,740 --> 01:25:56,200
 And they can also win a game in the 20-17 range.

1468
01:25:56,580 --> 01:25:59,560
 What I'm watching tonight is I want to see if Wilson can win a game,

1469
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:02,280
 if they can score 20 or 30 points on both sides of the ball,

1470
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,420
 allowing 30 points or 20 points on the defensive side,

1471
01:26:05,540 --> 01:26:07,280
 and win a game like that before playoffs.

1472
01:26:07,740 --> 01:26:10,760
 This whole season, if they allow over 20, they did not win a game.

1473
01:26:11,900 --> 01:26:12,540
 Wow.

1474
01:26:13,980 --> 01:26:21,660
 Also last night, Launderdale County won their sixth straight, beating Ardmore 42-13.

1475
01:26:21,820 --> 01:26:24,220
 Reed Newton has really got that team rolling.

1476
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:28,240
 They're going to be hosting, I believe, Hoax Bluff.

1477
01:26:28,300 --> 01:26:30,480
 Hoax Bluff has got a game tonight.

1478
01:26:31,180 --> 01:26:34,900
 But congratulations to Reed Newton taking over for Jeff Mason.

1479
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:39,980
 They got off to a little bit of a slow start, which any first-time coach is going to do,

1480
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:43,400
 even though Reed's been around that program for a long time.

1481
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:46,440
 But Launderdale County right now, Zach, red hot.

1482
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:49,460
 Yeah, Launderdale County had a rough start this season.

1483
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:51,200
 They were 1-3 after four weeks.

1484
01:26:51,300 --> 01:26:51,500
 Yep.

1485
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:55,700
 But also played Lexington, Brooks, Central, the three losses.

1486
01:26:56,300 --> 01:26:56,580
 That's it.

1487
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,940
 So you couldn't have worse schedule on luck at the start of the season with that either,

1488
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,960
 with two region champions and a playoff team in 4A.

1489
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:09,880
 So they ended high on schedule on luck, also getting the bottom of the region late in the season

1490
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:11,620
 to where you can kind of get high late.

1491
01:27:13,100 --> 01:27:14,760
 And they showed me something to see in playoffs too.

1492
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:15,420
 Mm-hmm.

1493
01:27:16,020 --> 01:27:16,460
 Absolutely.

1494
01:27:16,660 --> 01:27:17,540
 One more game tonight.

1495
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,920
 Well, there are quite a few games tonight.

1496
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:25,860
 But there are three more, Waddley at Hacker – well, I'm sorry, Cherokee at Brilliant,

1497
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:30,280
 Clemens at Sheffield, Cumbert Heights at Marion County.

1498
01:27:30,820 --> 01:27:36,500
 One game that did catch my eye besides Wilson and Cumbert County is Haleville-Hamilton.

1499
01:27:36,820 --> 01:27:38,480
 We talked about Hamilton a good bit.

1500
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:42,780
 I watched a great game when Dasher beat them 35-13.

1501
01:27:43,580 --> 01:27:46,140
 Mason Holloway's had a great season.

1502
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:47,640
 Houston-Tibbs.

1503
01:27:47,860 --> 01:27:52,340
 Haleville, Braden Hood ran for nearly 250 yards last week.

1504
01:27:52,740 --> 01:27:54,680
 Interesting game to end the regular season.

1505
01:27:54,860 --> 01:27:57,380
 Haleville 4-5 at Hamilton 7-2.

1506
01:27:58,220 --> 01:28:00,440
 Yeah, one of those games where Haleville's going to miss the playoffs,

1507
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,740
 the Hammers in the playoffs, but like I said, it was a late center-artist game.

1508
01:28:04,260 --> 01:28:06,960
 They came up with 0-9 and don't care whoever wins.

1509
01:28:07,180 --> 01:28:08,620
 1-9, hey, great season, whatever.

1510
01:28:09,480 --> 01:28:11,680
 Well, that's one of those games like Hamilton-Winfield every year,

1511
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:13,720
 you look for it on schedule and you're like, that's going to be a game

1512
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:17,460
 where both sides hate each other and can't stand each other.

1513
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:19,500
 In a good way, obviously.

1514
01:28:19,620 --> 01:28:21,600
 But, I mean, one of those games to watch, I'll say.

1515
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:25,400
 Zach, before we jump off, obviously, this is going to be an interesting postseason

1516
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:29,720
 because with all the reclassification that there's been now at the end of the season,

1517
01:28:30,100 --> 01:28:33,120
 how is that going to affect some of the things we're used to seeing

1518
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:36,980
 when it comes this time of the year, including Florence, including Mars Hill?

1519
01:28:37,060 --> 01:28:38,400
 We can go across the board here.

1520
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:41,500
 Your thoughts about how the reclassification is going to influence

1521
01:28:41,500 --> 01:28:42,960
 some of the postseason matchups?

1522
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:44,880
 Well, I'll start with Mars Hill.

1523
01:28:45,060 --> 01:28:50,160
 Mars Hill is going to play in the private school now, and it's four regions.

1524
01:28:50,440 --> 01:28:53,940
 Basically, the old 7-8 format, when you have four regions, it was north-south.

1525
01:28:54,580 --> 01:29:00,160
 You're going to have that north region playing the, what I call the Tuscaloosa-Gadison region.

1526
01:29:00,740 --> 01:29:03,780
 It's going to go from the Gadsden part of the state to the Tuscaloosa part of the state.

1527
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:07,160
 It's going to go from Hawthorne, Florence, to Gadsden, even.

1528
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:12,680
 So, Mars Hill will have, I want to say, Victory Christian, the Peacons Academy first.

1529
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:13,180
 Yeah.

1530
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:15,840
 And Westbrook Christian has a school over that way, too.

1531
01:29:16,340 --> 01:29:20,020
 But Mars Hill could be two hours south, two hours to the east.

1532
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:20,940
 Wow.

1533
01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:22,020
 With road trips.

1534
01:29:22,020 --> 01:29:27,700
 But also this, with the private schools last round, their playoffs are only going to be four rounds,

1535
01:29:27,780 --> 01:29:29,120
 four rounds total.

1536
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:33,300
 So, they'll play the first round on November 6th, second round, November 13th,

1537
01:29:33,340 --> 01:29:34,360
 which is their quarterfinals.

1538
01:29:34,780 --> 01:29:35,040
 Right.

1539
01:29:35,660 --> 01:29:40,680
 The finals will be on the 20th, and they'll have a week and a half off before the state championship game.

1540
01:29:41,420 --> 01:29:43,180
 So, they don't have to play Thanksgiving week anymore.

1541
01:29:43,380 --> 01:29:45,440
 It's a full week off, like a bye week, basically.

1542
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:46,000
 Mm-hmm.

1543
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:52,320
 But it's the old 7A format, and it's north-south, the old old 7A format,

1544
01:29:52,440 --> 01:29:54,380
 before it went to the whole statewide playoffs.

1545
01:29:55,300 --> 01:29:59,240
 And then in the public schools, you're going to get more, especially in 4A, 5A,

1546
01:29:59,580 --> 01:30:04,320
 you're going to get more matchups with the schools that last year were 4A, 5A, or 5A, 6A,

1547
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:06,580
 even 6A, 7A last year.

1548
01:30:07,100 --> 01:30:09,960
 Like, Dashler is matching up with Central Clay County.

1549
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:14,520
 But in that half of the bracket, there are schools like Leeds, who's been 4A forever,

1550
01:30:14,900 --> 01:30:16,020
 Brooks has been 4A forever.

1551
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:16,320
 Yeah.

1552
01:30:16,820 --> 01:30:19,540
 And some schools that have been 5A, Moody was 5A last year.

1553
01:30:19,940 --> 01:30:20,840
 They're playing with Morgan.

1554
01:30:21,620 --> 01:30:22,000
 Wow.

1555
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:25,780
 And it's 6A, you're going to have, like, Austin and Florence, who were 7A last year.

1556
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:28,200
 Russell Schultz, who's been 6A forever.

1557
01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:30,440
 Mitchell and Russell, who's been 5A forever.

1558
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:35,160
 So, it's going to be one of those, like, competitive aspects of where it's all combined into one.

1559
01:30:36,620 --> 01:30:41,440
 And below 3A, you don't really make an impact as much as it does in the bigger schools.

1560
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:41,980
 Mm-hmm.

1561
01:30:41,980 --> 01:30:45,220
 There is an aspect of more competitive matchups, possibly,

1562
01:30:45,900 --> 01:30:50,020
 and worse matchups for teams early in the playoffs based on the new classes.

1563
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:51,040
 Absolutely.

1564
01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:55,060
 And, by the way, Mars Hill stunned Essler last night, 10-3.

1565
01:30:55,580 --> 01:30:59,460
 I know Bryce Williams is not playing, but that was quite a win by Mars Hill.

1566
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:03,720
 They intercepted a pass in the end zone to end the game.

1567
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:07,200
 And also, congratulations to the Central Volleyball team.

1568
01:31:07,260 --> 01:31:09,240
 They won the state championship yesterday.

1569
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:09,980
 Wow, exactly.

1570
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:11,520
 Great, great ending for them.

1571
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:13,220
 Listen, you do a great job.

1572
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:15,200
 You got all the scores from last night.

1573
01:31:15,260 --> 01:31:16,240
 You have it tonight.

1574
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:21,300
 You're going to be having the playoff, who's playing who, the tail of the tape,

1575
01:31:21,300 --> 01:31:22,420
 all great stuff.

1576
01:31:22,540 --> 01:31:24,320
 Where can we get online and get everything?

1577
01:31:25,260 --> 01:31:29,380
 Yeah, we'll have previews this weekend coming out of different playoff games for both sides

1578
01:31:29,380 --> 01:31:31,520
 of who's playing who this week, next week.

1579
01:31:31,980 --> 01:31:38,680
 But on Facebook, ShoalsportsReport, and on Twitter, at lowercase, S-H-O-A-L-S-B-O-R-T-S.

1580
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:40,800
 Should be good weather out there, Zach.

1581
01:31:40,860 --> 01:31:41,360
 Stay safe.

1582
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:42,580
 And thanks for your time today.

1583
01:31:43,440 --> 01:31:43,740
 Thank you.

1584
01:31:43,740 --> 01:31:44,040
 How y'all do you?

1585
01:31:44,060 --> 01:31:44,520
 Thank you, Billy.

1586
01:31:45,020 --> 01:31:46,100
 Win a state championship.

1587
01:31:46,420 --> 01:31:46,840
 It's Friday.

1588
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:48,340
 Life is good at its central day.

1589
01:31:48,340 --> 01:31:48,680
 Yes, it is.

1590
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:49,200
 We agree, baby.

1591
01:31:49,300 --> 01:31:49,800
 Yes, it is.

1592
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,000
 Coming up, what about the gang on the plains?

1593
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:57,160
 Heading over to northwest Mississippi's, Justin Ferguson on deck.

1594
01:31:57,220 --> 01:31:57,660
 Stay with us.

1595
01:32:03,260 --> 01:32:06,540
 Well, the days are getting cooler and the smell of fall is in the air.

1596
01:32:06,860 --> 01:32:09,200
 What a perfect time to go explore the great outdoors.

1597
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:11,720

 I've always felt that sports imitate life and in both arenas, everyone loves a good comeback

1612
01:33:08,020 --> 01:33:08,400
 story.

1613
01:33:08,740 --> 01:33:12,160
 I sold my dynasty almost three years ago and have missed coming to the ballpark every day

1614
01:33:12,160 --> 01:33:12,480
 since.

1615
01:33:12,940 --> 01:33:16,700
 Once my old team dispersed and our fan base hinted about wanting to come back, we built

1616
01:33:16,700 --> 01:33:20,720
 a new stadium, made some calls to our old players, and signed some new ones off of waivers

1617
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:21,240
 and trades.

1618

1621
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,760

1622
01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:36,100
 Don't call it a comeback.

1623
01:33:36,540 --> 01:33:37,440

1716
01:38:51,680 --> 01:38:58,640
 And speaking of this weekend, not a lot of action out there, but try telling Auburn fans it's not a big one.

1717
01:38:58,700 --> 01:39:01,680
 Justin Ferguson got the Tigers cover there at the Auburn Observer.

1718
01:39:02,140 --> 01:39:03,160
 Justin, welcome in.

1719
01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:03,840
 How are you?

1720
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:05,300
 I'm doing all right.

1721
01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:05,540
 How are you?

1722
01:39:06,180 --> 01:39:07,200
 Man, we're doing okay.

1723
01:39:07,340 --> 01:39:08,840
 On the road again.

1724
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:13,660
 Obviously, this has been that classic season, the first-year coach.

1725
01:39:13,860 --> 01:39:19,700
 Is it safe to say, Justin, this team has proven they can beat anybody, they can lose to anybody.

1726
01:39:19,860 --> 01:39:26,360
 Your thoughts about the season date and what that means heading into this weekend on the road to the land of the Rebels.

1727
01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:31,800
 Yeah, I mean, I think this college football season so far, especially in the SEC, has been very unpredictable.

1728
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:37,260
 And I think you throw that kind of year one-ness in for Auburn, it just makes it more kind of unpredictable.

1729
01:39:37,660 --> 01:39:43,220
 Two weeks ago, you beat Georgia in biggest win you've had in a long time, and you're riding high.

1730
01:39:43,380 --> 01:39:51,080
 And then last week, you never really get close in that game past the early second quarter against LSU, and they take it to you at home.

1731
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:52,940
 So, you know, it's going to be interesting.

1732
01:39:53,100 --> 01:40:00,980
 I think Auburn has shown, like you said, they're capable of playing a good, clean game and having an opportunity to beat a team like Ole Miss on the road.

1733
01:40:01,460 --> 01:40:09,400
 But they've got to play a lot better than what they did last week, and it'll be a very interesting matchup because of some of the areas where Ole Miss, I think, can attack them.

1734
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:11,440
 Talk to us about that, Justin.

1735
01:40:11,440 --> 01:40:14,880
 What was the old song back in the day, riding high in April and shot down in May?

1736
01:40:15,100 --> 01:40:16,860
 A lot of folks still remember that song.

1737
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:22,040
 It's kind of a song for a lot of college football teams and fans this season, but it's all about matchups.

1738
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:26,280
 Sometimes you sit here and say you don't have a chance, and then you do, and then vice versa.

1739
01:40:26,440 --> 01:40:30,240
 Talk to us about this matchup from an X's and O's standpoint.

1740
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:34,140
 Yeah, the big thing for Auburn, I think, in this one is can they get back to running the ball?

1741
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:40,840
 They didn't have any success at all running it against LSU after running it pretty solidly against Georgia a week earlier.

1742
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:45,060
 You know, this Ole Miss defense has given up a decent amount on the ground this year.

1743
01:40:45,500 --> 01:40:51,140
 Texas really ran well, especially in the fourth quarter last week when they were able to beat Ole Miss, hold them off.

1744
01:40:52,140 --> 01:40:55,960
 You know, Florida ran for over 300 on them, both LSU and Louisville in some really close games.

1745
01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:58,840
 Got some good movement on the ground against this Ole Miss team.

1746
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:00,480
 So, Auburn's got to get back to that.

1747
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:05,820
 You know, last week they just never got anything going, and it just was very, very limited there.

1748
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:10,420
 They've got to be able to find ways to stick to it, find creative ways to get it going,

1749
01:41:10,780 --> 01:41:14,180
 and see if you can move the ball against an Ole Miss defense.

1750
01:41:14,380 --> 01:41:18,480
 It's just, you know, it's more of a middle-of-the-road defense than anything in the SEC this year.

1751
01:41:19,100 --> 01:41:22,800
 And, you know, there have been teams that have been successful at being able to get it going on the ground.

1752
01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:27,460
 Then on the flip side, it's like you know what you're getting out of Ole Miss when Trinidad Chambliss is a quarterback.

1753
01:41:28,300 --> 01:41:30,080
 He throws it more than anybody in the SEC.

1754
01:41:30,860 --> 01:41:34,760
 There's going to even be more incentive to throw it more on Saturday because Kawhi Lacy's hurt.

1755
01:41:35,260 --> 01:41:36,320
 He's not going to play in that game.

1756
01:41:36,380 --> 01:41:37,160
 They're a star running back.

1757
01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:42,720
 So, you know, I think for Auburn, it's just you've got to be able to do a whole lot different than what you did last week

1758
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:45,680
 because LSU really just nickel and dimed you all the way down the field.

1759
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:49,680
 You know, they hit some big plays, but it wasn't like they were airing it out a ton.

1760
01:41:50,520 --> 01:41:53,040
 Chambliss is really, really good at scrambling to throw.

1761
01:41:53,300 --> 01:41:54,320
 He keeps plays alive.

1762
01:41:54,480 --> 01:41:57,940
 And I think if you just sit back and just try to keep everything in front of you,

1763
01:41:58,020 --> 01:41:59,280
 he's going to find the open man eventually.

1764
01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:03,520
 So I think when you get in this game for Auburn, you look at the numbers,

1765
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:06,220
 you look at what other teams have done well against Chambliss this season,

1766
01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:08,800
 and he's a really, really good quarterback, you've got to bring pressure.

1767
01:42:08,920 --> 01:42:09,400
 You've got to blitz.

1768
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:11,160
 You've got to do creative stuff.

1769
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:16,200
 This has got to be a game for D.J. Durkin to, you know, throw the kitchen sink at Chambliss

1770
01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:19,080
 and see if you can force some turnovers like you did against Georgia,

1771
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:21,600
 maybe get them behind the chain, string together some stops.

1772
01:42:22,140 --> 01:42:26,100
 Because if you sit back and just, you know, try to keep everything in front of you,

1773
01:42:26,140 --> 01:42:29,060
 like I said, that Chambliss is the quarterback, I think, in this league

1774
01:42:29,060 --> 01:42:32,880
 that is built to throw it a ton and just kind of pick you apart there.

1775
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:35,480
 Auburn's secondary has not been very good this season in coverage,

1776
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:40,100
 and they've got to be able to do some stuff extra to kind of generate that pressure

1777
01:42:40,100 --> 01:42:44,140
 because, you know, when Chambliss is pressured, when Chambliss is blitzed,

1778
01:42:44,140 --> 01:42:48,120
 you know, it's a lot more of a fair fight, I think,

1779
01:42:48,180 --> 01:42:49,540
 for defenses going against them.

1780
01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:51,160
 That's where I was going.

1781
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:53,460
 Can Auburn win the turnover battle?

1782
01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:55,680
 They're plus two on the season.

1783
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:57,380
 Ole Miss is negative one.

1784
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:00,200
 But they won the Georgia, plus three.

1785
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:05,180
 And then Ole Miss has given up 161 yards, rushing a game.

1786
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:07,680
 You run the ball, control the clock.

1787
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:08,780
 What are you doing?

1788
01:43:08,860 --> 01:43:11,460
 You're keeping Chambliss standing on the sideline.

1789
01:43:12,580 --> 01:43:16,500
 Jefferson, you know, the whole reason you were able to beat Georgia a couple weeks ago

1790
01:43:16,500 --> 01:43:18,140
 because you were plus three in turnovers.

1791
01:43:18,140 --> 01:43:23,080
 And you go back and look, you know, this last week,

1792
01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:26,420
 Trinidad Chambliss had his first multi-interception game at Ole Miss.

1793
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:30,900
 And, you know, that's a big reason why, you know, Texas was able to hold on and win that game.

1794
01:43:31,500 --> 01:43:35,380
 You go back to when Ole Miss got blown out at Florida.

1795
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:38,220
 They're minus two, I believe, in turnover differential in that game.

1796
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:42,180
 There have been a couple other games this season where they have had some key turnovers

1797
01:43:42,180 --> 01:43:44,100
 that have allowed other teams to hang in games.

1798
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:45,180
 I think of the Louisville game.

1799
01:43:45,260 --> 01:43:47,760
 I think of the LSU game, obviously, as well.

1800
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:49,480
 So, yeah, I mean, that's your battle.

1801
01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,600
 And I think Byron Brown has done a really good job here these last couple weeks

1802
01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:57,540
 of not forcing the ball into danger, not putting it in, you know, in the interceptable situations.

1803
01:43:57,540 --> 01:44:02,380
 He had had a pretty bad interception problem heading into, you know, the last couple weeks.

1804
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:04,480
 But I think he's done a better job of that.

1805
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:08,380
 I think if you just take what the defense gives you, keep it rolling, protect the ball,

1806
01:44:08,860 --> 01:44:12,800
 keep that Ole Miss offense on the sidelines, you know, and steal some possessions,

1807
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:13,940
 that's the blueprint.

1808
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:16,280
 That's the blueprint for trying to beat Ole Miss on the road.

1809
01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:21,640
 Justin Ferguson, the Auburn Observer, I have a BB here by the name of Brett Beaird.

1810
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:24,300
 You have a BB there by the name of Byron Brown.

1811
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:27,920
 Let's face it, if Auburn is going to come out of Oxford with a win,

1812
01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:31,320
 Brown has got to do against the Rebels what he did against the Dogs.

1813
01:44:31,420 --> 01:44:32,840
 How likely is that?

1814
01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:35,000
 I mean, I like the matchup.

1815
01:44:35,140 --> 01:44:35,860
 I really do.

1816
01:44:35,860 --> 01:44:41,780
 I think when you look at this team on defense, they have been prone to giving up the big play this season.

1817
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:45,700
 They're towards the bottom nationally and giving up plays of 20 and 30 yards this season.

1818
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:48,520
 We talked about the run defense being kind of an issue for him.

1819
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:51,900
 Auburn's got to be able to find a way to get him going on the ground and just, you know,

1820
01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:53,840
 just do what he did against Georgia for sure.

1821
01:44:53,940 --> 01:44:57,680
 I think LSU really overwhelmed Auburn at the point of a tag last week.

1822
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:03,060
 They've got a really talented front, and I think Auburn's front did not play well, you know, on top of that.

1823
01:45:03,400 --> 01:45:08,340
 So I think if Auburn's offensive line, you know, again, don't expect miracles out of this group.

1824
01:45:08,440 --> 01:45:09,120
 They are what they are.

1825
01:45:09,180 --> 01:45:11,960
 But if they play a little bit better in what should be a more favorable matchup,

1826
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:14,360
 you feel like Byron Brown's got some opportunities.

1827
01:45:15,180 --> 01:45:19,240
 This is an Ole Miss team that likes to get pressure but doesn't get a ton of sacks.

1828
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:21,640
 To me, that signal scrambling is a big thing.

1829
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:27,360
 Sam Levitt was able to get some good yards on the ground against them, you know, a few weeks ago.

1830
01:45:27,780 --> 01:45:32,360
 There's a couple of – I think Arch Manning has two rushing touchdowns last week against Ole Miss,

1831
01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:36,800
 and he had – I remember watching one big third down scramble that he had that was kind of key in the game.

1832
01:45:36,940 --> 01:45:40,460
 So, you know, I think there's going to be some opportunities for him to kind of take off and go with it.

1833
01:45:40,700 --> 01:45:42,080
 It's what he did really well against Georgia.

1834
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:43,380
 You've got to go back to that.

1835
01:45:43,780 --> 01:45:48,700
 LSU really keyed in on him last week and, you know, limited a lot of what made him successful.

1836
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:51,040
 I'm sure Ole Miss is going to try to do some of that,

1837
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:56,260
 but we'll see if, you know, they have the personnel to be able to do exactly what LSU was able to do.

1838
01:45:56,340 --> 01:45:59,640
 And then on top of that, Auburn's got to be able to find some counters to get him going.

1839
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:05,500
 Yeah, I think this is actually going to be a higher-scoring game than a lot of people believe it is.

 Plus, trick-or-treat pails for only a buck.

1916
01:49:59,080 --> 01:49:59,960
 But you've got time.

1917
01:50:00,980 --> 01:50:02,840
 Good thing candy's priced to stock up.

1918
01:50:03,700 --> 01:50:04,140
 Oh!

1919
01:50:04,380 --> 01:50:06,440
 Plus fun Halloween party favors from $1.

1920
01:50:07,540 --> 01:50:09,820
 Did I mention bags of candy from $5.99?

1921
01:50:11,020 --> 01:50:16,460
 Get all of their favorites at Target so you can claim best house on the block status.

1922
01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:17,680
 Restrictions apply.

1923
01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:25,500
 Whether it's a crisp fall morning, a full-blown thunderstorm, or you're loading up the car and heading to the game.

1924
01:50:25,820 --> 01:50:29,460
 Whether you're kicking through piles of leaves or trudging through puddles of mud.

1925
01:50:29,720 --> 01:50:33,600
 Whether you call it fall or autumn or you're one of those sweater season people.

1926
01:50:33,820 --> 01:50:36,100
 You're gonna want weather tech for your vehicle.

1927
01:50:36,100 --> 01:50:40,780
 Whether the mess is your fault, your kid's fault, the dog's fault, or just the weather's fault.

1928
01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:42,500
 You're gonna want weather tech.

 Evan Cohen here.

1932
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:53,780
 In sports, anyone can say they're the best.

1933
01:50:54,020 --> 01:50:55,160
 The actual best?

1934
01:50:55,440 --> 01:50:56,160
 They prove it.

1935
01:50:56,360 --> 01:50:58,120
 That's what I like about Midas.

1936
01:50:58,300 --> 01:51:06,500
 When you buy tires at Midas with paid installation, you get their limited lifetime tire guarantee included at no extra cost.

1937
01:51:06,500 --> 01:51:12,840
 That includes flat repairs or flat replacements and tire rotations every 5,000 miles.

1938
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:18,500
 That's confidence you can drive on mile after mile because the best don't just say it, they back it up.

1939
01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:20,000
 Midas, the best of rounds.

1940
01:51:20,420 --> 01:51:23,160

1941
01:51:23,340 --> 01:51:24,600
 No filters, no fluff.

1944
01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:35,160
 Sports Radio 93.9.

1945
01:51:35,580 --> 01:51:36,080
 The Score.

1946
01:51:36,500 --> 01:52:00,060
 Hey, it's back in the saddle, Brett Beaird, as we always kick in a little trivia here.

1947
01:52:00,180 --> 01:52:04,440
 Today, we're playing for all the fresh air you can breathe at Waterloo if you get it right.

1948
01:52:04,500 --> 01:52:04,980
 Are you ready?

1949
01:52:05,580 --> 01:52:06,520
 Maybe, yes.

1950
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:11,540
 We've already established that Underdog's girlfriend was Sweet Polly Purebred.

1951
01:52:11,580 --> 01:52:12,720
 I remember Sweet Polly.

1952
01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:14,140
 That's right.

1953
01:52:14,220 --> 01:52:18,680
 The question is, what actress was Sweet Polly Purebred based on, Brett Beaird?

1954
01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:21,880
 Um, um, um, um, um.

1955
01:52:22,060 --> 01:52:22,720
 No, that's wrong.

1956
01:52:22,740 --> 01:52:25,780
 To save time, I would say I don't remember.

1957
01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:29,720
 Well, that's a cousin of the one and only Marilyn Monroe.

1958
01:52:29,860 --> 01:52:30,140
 Wow.

1959
01:52:30,140 --> 01:52:30,760
 You remember her.

1960
01:52:30,940 --> 01:52:31,920
 Yes, I do.

1961
01:52:32,300 --> 01:52:33,820
 I think you took her to the prom at that one time.

1962
01:52:33,820 --> 01:52:36,440
 Well, I tried, and you know how that ended.

1963
01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:38,800
 Well, let's see if Ric Flair and the gang's ready.

1964
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:40,260
 Are you ready to do some picking, B-B?

1965
01:52:40,260 --> 01:52:40,820
 I am ready.

1966
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:44,760
 UNA, uh, four and four Central Arkansas, two and six.

1967
01:52:44,860 --> 01:52:46,700
 UNA's one and a half point favorite.

1968
01:52:46,820 --> 01:52:53,240
 The Bears have the best rushing offense in the conference, but UNA's got the top rushing

1969
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:55,620
 defense on the allow, one oh four.

1970
01:52:56,220 --> 01:52:58,060
 Two and six is a little misleading.

1971
01:52:58,260 --> 01:53:03,480
 They've lost to Florida State and Tarleton State, but I think even though UNA's really

1972
01:53:03,480 --> 01:53:07,680
 struggled here in Arkansas, they play well.

1973
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:10,680
 I've got UNA winning 27-217.

1974
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:11,040
 Woo!

1975
01:53:11,440 --> 01:53:12,040
 Here's Ric.

1976
01:53:12,540 --> 01:53:18,020
 Uh, Auburn and Ole Miss, pardon me, the Rebels a 13 and a half point favorite.

1977
01:53:18,140 --> 01:53:19,940
 We've talked about this game all week long.

1978
01:53:20,100 --> 01:53:21,420
 Turnovers are a big key.

1979
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:23,940
 Uh, I think Auburn plays well.

1980
01:53:23,940 --> 01:53:26,020
 This is going to be a high scoring game.

1981
01:53:26,140 --> 01:53:31,600
 They're going to run the ball since Ole Miss has given up 161 a game, but Chambliss makes

1982
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:32,980
 some plays at the end.

1983
01:53:33,160 --> 01:53:35,280
 Ole Miss wins 38-28.

1984
01:53:35,580 --> 01:53:35,820
 Woo!

1985
01:53:36,480 --> 01:53:37,060
 Thank you, Ric.

1986
01:53:37,100 --> 01:53:41,140
 And my stupid underdog pick, number 20, Northwestern at Oregon.

1987
01:53:41,300 --> 01:53:45,840
 The Ducks, the Ducks, I can tell from Harold Bugg, I did it again.

1988
01:53:46,260 --> 01:53:49,540
 Three and a half point favorite, Chip Kelly goes back home.

1989
01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:51,460
 The wrong team is favored here.

1990
01:53:52,900 --> 01:53:55,160
 Northwestern upsets Oregon on the road.

1991
01:53:55,300 --> 01:53:55,660
 You're so stupid.

1992
01:53:55,660 --> 01:53:56,980
 Yeah, I know why you broke a line.

1993
01:53:57,240 --> 01:53:58,240
 You're so stupid.

1994
01:53:58,940 --> 01:53:59,820
 I'm with you.

1995
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:02,920
 And next time, next time, I'm going to jump over you there.

1996
01:54:02,980 --> 01:54:04,040
 All right, let's get busy here.

1997
01:54:04,140 --> 01:54:05,340
 UNA Central Arkansas.

1998
01:54:06,060 --> 01:54:07,820
 On paper, a tight fight.

1999
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:09,100
 UNA on the road.

2000
01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:12,520
 I do believe that they've been battle-tested the last two games.

2001
01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:15,020
 I just need to play here and play there to have a better ending.

2002
01:54:15,660 --> 01:54:17,080
 Give it to the Lions this weekend.

2003
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:19,480
 31-28 at C.

2004
01:54:19,480 --> 01:54:19,860
 Yeah, baby.

2005
01:54:19,860 --> 01:54:23,820
 All right, Auburn and Ole Miss on the road again.

2006
01:54:23,920 --> 01:54:26,900
 Not Willie Nelson, but the Tigers over at Vaught-Hemingway.

2007
01:54:27,700 --> 01:54:28,960
 Ole Miss up and down.

2008
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:29,980
 Who knows what you're getting there.

2009
01:54:30,060 --> 01:54:31,760
 Auburn's proven they can beat the best.

2010
01:54:31,880 --> 01:54:35,740
 Remember, they knocked off, at the time, the number one team in the country, the Georgia

2011
01:54:35,740 --> 01:54:36,380
 Dogs.

2012
01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:38,500
 But Ole Miss playing at home.

2013
01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:39,880
 I know Georgia was home, too.

2014
01:54:39,940 --> 01:54:42,460
 But I believe the Rebs, they know their backs up against the wall.

2015
01:54:42,540 --> 01:54:45,380
 Give it to them 31-24, Rebs.

2016
01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:46,420
 Yeah, baby.

2017
01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:50,060
 And, baby, while you're at it, you picked Oregon and Northwestern.

2018
01:54:50,060 --> 01:54:53,140
 I will say, okay, that was my pick, too.

2019
01:54:53,240 --> 01:54:57,240
 But I will defer and go with the Giant Killers from Orlando.

2020
01:54:57,240 --> 01:55:01,080
 They did it last week against the boys from Brigham Young.

2021
01:55:01,180 --> 01:55:02,940
 They take on another B team this weekend.

2022
01:55:03,160 --> 01:55:03,460
 Baylor.

2023
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:06,060
 The Bears are favored, but I got to go.

2024
01:55:06,060 --> 01:55:08,560
 I know it's hard to do it week in, week out.

2025
01:55:08,660 --> 01:55:11,200
 But you see out 25-23.

2026
01:55:11,380 --> 01:55:11,980
 Do you agree?

2027
01:55:12,380 --> 01:55:13,220
 You're so stupid!

2028
01:55:13,800 --> 01:55:15,300
 You're so stupid!

2029
01:55:17,380 --> 01:55:19,220
 It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right?

2030
01:55:20,620 --> 01:55:21,220
 Oh, Lord.

2031
01:55:21,340 --> 01:55:24,360
 Tonight, Harold Wilson at Colbert County.

2032
01:55:25,520 --> 01:55:27,120
 Halival at Hamilton.

2033
01:55:28,280 --> 01:55:30,560
 Scoreboard show tonight on 93.9.

2034
01:55:30,620 --> 01:55:33,580
 The score, James and Blair do a great job of that.

2035
01:55:33,600 --> 01:55:34,020
 Yes, indeed.

2036
01:55:34,320 --> 01:55:36,540
 Tomorrow, Georgia and Florida.

2037
01:55:36,700 --> 01:55:40,160
 No Bama, but Georgia and Florida on 93.9.

2038
01:55:40,220 --> 01:55:40,620
 The score.

2039
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:41,700
 Happy Halloween.

2040
01:55:42,220 --> 01:55:45,360
 And have a fun and safe football weekend.

2041
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:47,160
 And remember, watch those clocks.

2042
01:55:47,380 --> 01:55:49,500
 Send them back an hour before you go to bed tomorrow night.

2043
01:55:49,580 --> 01:55:51,180
 You may not make it to church on time.

2044
01:55:51,260 --> 01:55:53,280
 The Reverend will get mad at you, so you have been more.

2045
01:55:53,700 --> 01:55:55,240
 That's going to take care of business for now.

2046
01:55:55,300 --> 01:55:57,420
 On behalf of BB, Greg, James Blair, the entire career.

2047
01:55:57,560 --> 01:55:59,400
 Terrell Buck, thank you so much for your time today.

2048
01:55:59,480 --> 01:56:01,740
 Let's do it again Monday, noon to two for the Boomo Bugg Show.

2049
01:56:02,060 --> 01:56:03,980
 Thank you on Sports Radio 93.9, the score.
