1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,640
 Now, get ready to roll, Shoals, Decatur, Athens, and all of Northwest Alabama and Southern Tennessee. It's time for the Valley's exclusive FM Sports Voice.

2
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:29,460
 The Boomo Bugg Show. New exclusive inside track to the Tigers, Tennessee and the rest of the SEC. Now, your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9.

3
00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:30,860
 The Score.

4
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:39,620
 Good afternoon and welcome here to the Boomo Bugg Show. I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird. Thank you so much for giving us free ride around the Tennessee Valley.

5
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:52,600
 Brett Beaird, welcome in to the proverbial good, bad, and ugly Monday after. Good afternoon. Welcome in to you and have you and your family gone shopping for real estate in Tallahassee yet? How are you?

6
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,620
 Happy Reaction Monday.

7
00:00:54,620 --> 00:01:09,380
 Yes, you're alluding to Florida State coach Mike Dorvell fired after seven seasons with the Seminoles and also Oklahoma offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle was let go today.

8
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:21,200
 So, again, it's that time of the year. We'll preview separation Saturday in a huge slate of top 25 matchups in college football.

9
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:27,460
 But Adam is here right now to recap another SEC football weekend.

10
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:37,500
 Adam is Adam Spencer. He is the man at a place called Saturday Down South. Adam, welcome in to November. How are you?

11
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:39,740
 I'm doing great, guys. How are you?

12
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:54,140
 I tell you what, if this last weekend is any indication, what is this weekend going to be? Adam, help us figure out this thing called college football as we get ready for the first and really and truly only meaningful poll coming up tomorrow night.

13
00:01:55,140 --> 00:02:02,220
 Yeah, I mean, when the slate doesn't look great, you know that that's a sign that there's going to be some chaos.

14
00:02:02,660 --> 00:02:07,480
 You know, I was writing about that. I didn't know where it was coming from, but yeah, we've got plenty of it once again.

15
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:17,800
 I mean, you know, you can't be too surprised that Ohio State lost without Julian saying, but, you know, we can ride you there.

16
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:33,940
 I think we're going to see a lot of these teams that have coaches in years four and five and whatever being let go as we move forward, because, I mean, you just look at how quickly Kurt Signetti turned around Indiana.

17
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:42,400
 You look at how quickly Bob Chesney and Will Stein have turned around UCLA and Kentucky in just year one on the, like, hitting the ground running there.

18
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:58,060
 So, you know, there's proof of concept that, you know, if Will Stein can go seven and one in his first eight games to a place like Kentucky, if Bob Chesney can go eight and oh, in his first eight games at UCLA, then it's like, okay, like, you've got to hire the right guy.

19
00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:01,880
 And I think we're going to see even less patience than we normally do.

20
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,000
 And that's not a lot when it comes to college football.

21
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,960
 So who's the right guy to go into FSU?

22
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,040
 I call him the, yeah, he should be an extra Andy Griffin.

23
00:03:12,220 --> 00:03:15,880
 Jimbo Fisher likes to come across as, golly gee, I'm just a good old boy.

24
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:22,700
 I asked Bobby Bowden and some other folks about Jimbo, but your thoughts about who fills those shoes at FSU?

25
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:34,220
 Yeah, I mean, I don't know that this would be a year that I would want to be making a coaching hire because, I mean, I think that there's not really a ton of these hot shot candidates.

26
00:03:34,220 --> 00:03:41,360
 You know, I wonder if they'll take a run at the guy at Oklahoma State, but, you know, he just got there and he's got ties to that area.

27
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:49,320
 You know, Glenn Schumann is the name that always comes up, you know, Buster Faulkner, you know, those guys are always in the mix.

28
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:54,760
 But, yeah, I just, I don't know that I would want to, to be in the coaching market this cycle.

29
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:01,520
 And, you know, I'm sure Deion Sanders' name will be bandied about a little bit, but the shine has kind of been lost there, too.

30
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,340
 So, you know, we'll see how it goes.

31
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,600
 But, yeah, that's definitely one to keep an eye on.

32
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,180
 Adam, before we get into some of the big games this weekend, let's recap last week.

33
00:04:12,260 --> 00:04:16,740
 Florida averaged 53 points in their first four games.

34
00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:20,560
 The last four games, they've scored 17.8.

35
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,780
 They didn't do a very good job of that against Georgia.

36
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,860
 Four turnovers that really did not give themselves a chance.

37
00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:33,360
 And, of course, Georgia took advantage, winning 27-8.

38
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:41,080
 And then Ole Miss, Auburn's literally going for a two-point conversion midway through the third quarter to tie the game.

39
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,200
 They did not convert.

40
00:04:43,460 --> 00:04:49,460
 And then Ole Miss goes on the run, led by Trinidad Chambliss, 28-0.

41
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,020
 Ended up beating Auburn 45-15.

42
00:04:53,020 --> 00:04:57,480
 Yeah, that Georgia game, I mean, it's just a bad time to catch Georgia.

43
00:04:57,740 --> 00:04:59,500
 You know, they lost right before the bye week.

44
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:01,700
 And then they had the off week.

45
00:05:02,020 --> 00:05:05,820
 And I'm sure that that was not any fun for anybody on that Georgia football program.

46
00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:09,640
 So, yeah, they were coming out angry and motivated.

47
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,740
 And, you know, they still have the pole position in the SEC.

48
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,000
 So, you know, I think that they want to, you know, keep that going.

49
00:05:17,220 --> 00:05:20,340
 And I think that that was just a bad spot for Florida.

50
00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:26,340
 But, yeah, if they're not going to take care of the ball, then that hot start is just going to seem more and more like a fever dream.

51
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,540
 And, you know, they don't even have the, you know, Mississippi State.

52
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:31,220
 You know, they were the story of September.

53
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,660
 But there's a player as special as Kamario Taylor.

54
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:38,480
 I mean, you can't be blamed for, you know, falling the way that they have.

55
00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:40,020
 So, that's just a bummer there.

56
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:41,880
 Florida has the talent.

57
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:43,800
 They're just not executing right now.

58
00:05:43,860 --> 00:05:47,140
 So, that's what the difference is there, in my opinion.

59
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,200
 And the book is out on the new ball on the block as well.

60
00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:52,140
 Adam Spencer, Saturday down south.

61
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:56,740
 Adam, obviously, this weekend, it's going to be one for the nerves.

62
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,400
 I don't care what fan base you are.

63
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,140
 Let's talk about Alabama and LSU.

64
00:06:01,140 --> 00:06:06,480
 You look at this game and on paper, show me where Alabama has the edge on LSU.

65
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:14,500
 Offense, defense, it's not, you know, normally you get in these matchups and years past, one will be four and one will be five as far as position rankings.

66
00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:24,160
 This year, you look at some of this, I don't care if it's offense or defense, and the gap between Alabama and LSU is, as one party says, as wide as the Gulf of Mexico.

67
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,780
 The other party says, as wide as the Gulf of America.

68
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,420
 Vegas opened up originally at four LSU.

69
00:06:30,620 --> 00:06:31,760
 It moved to five.

70
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,180
 It's now five and a half.

71
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:34,760
 Vegas is not buying Bama.

72
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,600
 Talk to Bama fans and tell them, yes, don't pay any attention to that.

73
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,300
 There's still hope.

74
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:47,140
 Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty close with the quarterback battle there, you know, so that's something positive.

75
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:59,100
 I mean, these are two very talented quarterbacks, and I think that if Ryan Coleman Williams, I don't know if they've made any updates on if he's going to play or not, but if he can play, then I think that they have the edge at wide receiver, too.

76
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,020
 So, I mean, that's something.

77
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:03,720
 This running game has not been good.

78
00:07:04,140 --> 00:07:09,940
 It's been slightly better, I guess, than last year, but, you know, it's tough to be that bad again.

79
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,140
 So, yeah, I mean, I think that this is a bad matchup, and they have to go down to Baton Rouge.

80
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:20,520
 I mean, I guess the good thing you could say is that it's not a night game, which has LSU fans all riled up.

81
00:07:20,780 --> 00:07:29,900
 But, yeah, I think that that's maybe the one positive that you could point to is that they won't have to deal with quite as drunk LSU fans.

82
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,960
 Oh, they'll still be there.

83
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,040
 They'll still tailgate, and they'll get plenty of alcohol in their system before kickoff.

84
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,400
 But, yeah, maybe not quite the same intense level of energy as a night game in Death Valley.

85
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,900
 And one of the other games, big games this weekend in the SEC, we just alluded to two of the teams.

86
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,940
 Georgia at Ole Miss, Georgia a three-and-a-point favorite.

87
00:07:51,700 --> 00:07:57,100
 Trinidad Chambliss showed in the second half why he is still a Heisman Trophy candidate.

88
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,180
 22 of 34, 263.

89
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,840
 Ole Miss also ran for 224 yards in the game.

90
00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:07,500
 Should be a very intriguing game in Oxford.

91
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:12,020
 Yeah, I think that this is going to be a tough one.

92
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,260
 You know, I think Trinidad Chambliss needs to put together four good quarters.

93
00:08:16,460 --> 00:08:19,380
 You know, he's gotten off to slow starts in his past couple games here.

94
00:08:19,460 --> 00:08:25,920
 So he needs to be, you know, ready to play because you can't give Georgia any freebies early

95
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,700
 because once they go ahead, I mean, they are built to just grind out the second half.

96
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:34,100
 And you've got to stay competitive with them throughout the game

97
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:38,280
 so they can't just go on cruise control and ground and pound you to death.

98
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:42,720
 So he's going to have to be his second-half self for the whole game.

99
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,860
 And, yeah, I mean, the running game, I mean, that was quite the performance against Auburn,

100
00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:50,440
 but Georgia's run defense is better.

101
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:52,900
 So, you know, they're going to have their work cut out for them.

102
00:08:53,060 --> 00:08:56,680
 But if they can even make it, you know, a viable option,

103
00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:00,760
 then that opens up more stuff for Trinidad Chambliss to shine.

104
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,660
 So, you know, I think that maybe Chambliss needs to get out of the pocket a little bit

105
00:09:04,660 --> 00:09:07,320
 and, you know, have some run-pass options

106
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,860
 and maybe use his legs a little bit more than we've seen him at points this year.

107
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,780
 Adam, did you come up with a menu this weekend for SEC football fans?

108
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,620
 I'll tell you what.

109
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,460
 I can't remember one where you take a piece of paper

110
00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:22,560
 and that's about the margin between a lot of these teams.

111
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:27,320
 Your thoughts about your home cooking this weekend with Teos.

112
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,900
 Texas comes to town.

113
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,260
 No pressure there for Sark and Arch.

114
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,960
 Your thoughts about Missouri and Texas this weekend.

115
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,740
 Yeah, I mean, Mizzou's been tough to beat for O'Field.

116
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:38,880
 They're undefeated there.

117
00:09:39,060 --> 00:09:41,380
 So, you know, I'm hoping that that trend continues.

118
00:09:41,660 --> 00:09:43,740
 This was a very important week.

119
00:09:43,780 --> 00:09:46,100
 I wrote about last Thursday that, you know,

120
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:48,980
 it seemed like the Arkansas game was a must-win for the Tigers.

121
00:09:48,980 --> 00:09:51,400
 So now, you know, now they've got their sixth win

122
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,200
 because they have a tough stretch coming up.

123
00:09:53,340 --> 00:09:55,160
 They've, you know, they've got Texas.

124
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,160
 They've got Georgia.

125
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,560
 They've still got, you know, Oklahoma and Kentucky.

126
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,580
 Yeah, so that's, you know, maybe Oklahoma is a little bit easier

127
00:10:03,580 --> 00:10:05,580
 than it appeared preseason.

128
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,980
 But, yeah, that's still a murderer's row there.

129
00:10:09,220 --> 00:10:12,040
 And so, you know, I think that they can beat Texas.

130
00:10:12,260 --> 00:10:15,460
 I mean, getting Ahmad Hardy back last week was nice to see.

131
00:10:15,620 --> 00:10:20,600
 You know, he's not going to be at his 2020, 2025 self next week.

132
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,180
 But if he can work a little bit more into the offense,

133
00:10:23,180 --> 00:10:27,200
 I mean, Jamal Roberts, that's a heck of a one-two tandem there.

134
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,720
 And Austin Simmons, if he can continue to be the better quarterback,

135
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:32,500
 he's been better than Arch Manning this year.

136
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,820
 If he could be better again at home, I mean, the defense can do enough.

137
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,260
 And, you know, I think that this is going to be a close game,

138
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:39,620
 but it's going to be exciting.

139
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:44,340
 And it's one that might be a little slept on in this loaded slate of games.

140
00:10:44,820 --> 00:10:49,400
 Adam Kent, Kentucky keep their magical run going, going to Knoxville.

141
00:10:49,940 --> 00:10:52,400
 Kent 71, Tennessee 6-2.

142
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:58,060
 They've done so well as far as they're plus 13 in turnover margin.

143
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:01,100
 But they've got a tough stretch coming up.

144
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,900
 Tennessee, Florida, Missouri.

145
00:11:03,780 --> 00:11:08,140
 Tennessee still got one of the best defenses, of course, in the country,

146
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,180
 averaging 4.4 sacks per game.

147
00:11:11,340 --> 00:11:12,880
 Mincy has been magical.

148
00:11:13,060 --> 00:11:16,780
 Quite frankly, he only has one interception the entire year.

149
00:11:17,180 --> 00:11:19,820
 Can Kentucky keep it going in Knoxville?

150
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,940
 Yeah, it's going to come down, you know, you said the plus 13 turnover margin.

151
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,660
 I mean, that's the key there.

152
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:31,800
 I mean, Jordan Castle on the back end of that defense has been a godsend for that secondary.

153
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:36,740
 If he can, you know, George McIntyre, you know, he's going to put a couple up for grabs.

154
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,580
 And if they bounce Kentucky's way, then that's the recipe for a road upset.

155
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,080
 And I think that, you know, we'll see if Mincy can continue to deliver.

156
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:52,560
 But I haven't seen, you know, he went into Norman a couple weeks ago and pulled out a win at Oklahoma,

157
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:55,740
 which, you know, we wouldn't have thought preseason.

158
00:11:55,980 --> 00:11:57,620
 But, yeah, he's been really good.

159
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,060
 If he can continue to not make mistakes, then Kentucky's going to have a chance.

160
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,040
 And as we've seen, when they're right there late, you know,

161
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,200
 Will Stein's not afraid to really go for the win instead of playing timid.

162
00:12:10,460 --> 00:12:13,440
 So, you know, that's a very exciting game on the plate this weekend.

163
00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:15,660
 Adam Spencer, Saturday down south.

164
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:18,860
 If you're one of those Auburn fans that says, I can't believe you guys.

165
00:12:18,860 --> 00:12:22,340
 You knock off the number one team on the road, and then you make history.

166
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:28,600
 The first team, I think, since 59, maybe ever, to beat the number one team at home on their field.

167
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,120
 And then the next two games, you get beat by 20-plus.

168
00:12:31,660 --> 00:12:33,440
 This is the Auburn Tigers 26.

169
00:12:33,740 --> 00:12:40,600
 The other side of that coin is, if you look at the schedule, there's a chance that this team is going to sit here and make progress.

170
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,240
 You've got Arkansas, then Mississippi State, then Sanford.

171
00:12:44,340 --> 00:12:49,160
 In other words, you've got a chance to go on a three-game haul and then a rivalry game with a team called Alabama.

172
00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:51,040
 Your thoughts about the Auburn Tigers?

173
00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:58,720
 Yeah, I mean, they just, you know, that Georgia game is looking like it was one of the flukiest games of the year.

174
00:12:59,060 --> 00:13:07,420
 They're, you know, but, you know, like you said earlier, you know, they were going for two in that game in the third quarter against Ole Miss to tie it up and miss the play.

175
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,320
 So, I mean, you know, we're right there with this team.

176
00:13:10,420 --> 00:13:12,000
 You know, they can compete.

177
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,080
 You know, they just haven't competed for four quarters.

178
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,300
 You know, that LSU game was a bit of a, you know, the hangover game we talked about a couple weeks ago.

179
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,080
 So, I mean, I think that, you know, Auburn is going to be dangerous.

180
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,440
 Like, they should take care of business in these three games.

181
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:36,320
 And then, like you said, that Iron Bull, even though it's at Bryant-Denny this year, which is, you know, not in Auburn's favor there.

182
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:39,140
 They struggle mightily at Bryant-Denny.

183
00:13:39,340 --> 00:13:41,980
 But, you know, anything can happen in the Iron Bull.

184
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:49,300
 And so, yeah, they build some momentum and they have a chance to enter that game playing some of their best football of the year.

185
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,960
 So, we'll see if they take advantage of it these next few weeks.

186
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,920
 Well, South Carolina's playing its best football of the year, winning three-state.

187
00:13:57,060 --> 00:14:01,580
 They beat a punchless Oklahoma 45-25.

188
00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:08,600
 Illinois Sellers looks like he did two years ago when his name came up for a Heisman Trophy contender.

189
00:14:09,180 --> 00:14:10,840
 Adam, a lot of great stuff going on.

190
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:12,260
 You've got the power rankings.

191
00:14:12,260 --> 00:14:20,480
 I know Joe Cox, a good friend, will have his predictions for the season record previews.

192
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,580
 A lot of stuff going on on SDS this week.

193
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,340
 Where can we go online to get everything?

194
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,140
 Yeah, SaturdayDownSouth.com.

 So, yeah, we'll have lots of content coming your way on both sports.

 Listen, man, thanks for your time today.

201

202
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:46,320
 You guys, thanks a lot.

203
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:46,740
 Thank you, bud.

204
00:14:47,140 --> 00:14:49,980
 Adam Spitzel is going to be there at Saturday Down South.

205
00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:55,100
 So, what time does Alabama kick off with Bandy and Arborwood State the following week?

206
00:14:55,180 --> 00:14:56,920
 We've got that and more straight ahead.

 It doesn't matter if you're running grills at the park, playing pickup on a Saturday, or sinking the final putt.

216
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,280
 When you compete with your friends with Michelob Ultra on the line, competition isn't that friendly.

217
00:15:43,860 --> 00:15:49,040
 The trash talk, next level, and the stakes, oh, those are crystal clear.

218
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,460
 With only 95 calories and superior smooth taste, it's the ultimate trophy.

219
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:55,460
 Superior is worth playing for.

220
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,100
 Michelob Ultra, superior light beer.

221
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,360

 Let's put one score.

228
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:12,060
 Bales and Seahawks finish off week eight.

229
00:16:12,180 --> 00:16:14,200
 I think JSN has another massive game.

230
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,660
 Chicago's defense overall has been solid this year, but they give up the third most yards per target to opposing wide receivers.

231
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:27,260
 JSN's gone over 100 yards in every game except one this year, and even when teams try to bracket or double team him, he still gets the job done.

232
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,680
 It's why he's on track to win OPOTY for the second straight season.

233
00:16:30,940 --> 00:16:33,120
 Give me JSN to go over his receiving yards.

234
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:34,760

 In my house, the best moments don't always happen when I'm sitting still.

250
00:17:42,620 --> 00:17:50,440
 Maybe the game's in overtime, or my favorite podcast is getting to the good part, or the playlist just found its groove.

251
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,500
 That's what I like about Sonos.

252
00:17:52,740 --> 00:18:01,080
 It's a whole home sound system that follows me from room to room, so I can stay with the moment as I move through the house.

253
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:01,880
 Sonos.

254
00:18:02,140 --> 00:18:02,940

 An official message from Medicare.

258
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:19,100
 Medicare plans change from one year to the next, and this year, it's important for you to review your current coverage and compare all your options during Medicare open enrollment.

259
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,700
 Compare health plans, drug coverage, and costs.

260
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:27,260
 See if you can save some money, and don't forget to make sure your drugs are covered.

261
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,040

00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,000
 Hey, play some jazz.

266
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:40,580
 Got it.

267
00:18:40,660 --> 00:18:42,380
 Playing your YAS playlist.

268
00:18:43,820 --> 00:18:46,100
 No, more like jazz.

269
00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:48,440
 Okay, here's more pizzazz.

270
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,520
 No, just calling jazz.

271
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,000
 Calling chaz.

272
00:18:54,260 --> 00:18:54,740
 Nope.

 As a procurement manager at an industrial manufacturing facility, she balances inventory levels with sourcing supplies.

279
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,960
 Too much stock ties up the budget, too little slows down production.

280
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,900
 So she counts on Grainger.

281
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:30,260
 With $2 billion in on-hand inventory, Grainger helps deliver the product she needs fast, helping her stay stocked without overstocking.

 Here's the bottom line.

306
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,900
 You better get up early if you want the Titan Tigers in your house.

307
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:54,920
 Auburn State.

308
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,460

309
00:20:59,580 --> 00:21:06,040
 And then at 11.45, that second glamorous time, Alabama and Vanderbilt on the SEC network.

310
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:13,160
 Well, Harold, I saw the Alabama-Vanderbilt as far as the early slot back in May.

311
00:21:13,740 --> 00:21:17,040
 So, I knew that was either going to be 11 or 11.45.

312
00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:24,600
 I'm sure Auburn fans are saying, what in the world do we need to do to have a night game or the 2.30 game?

313
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,520
 Well, that's the W.

314
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,680
 That's the one thing that was probably TV loves ratings.

315
00:21:29,780 --> 00:21:31,340
 They don't love a team over the money.

316
00:21:31,420 --> 00:21:33,660
 They love their money, so there you have it.

317
00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:35,900
 And now it's confirmed 11.45.

318
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:38,980
 I saw the Rumblings, but now it is the C word, confirmed.

319
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:46,460
 Matt St. Charles probably has to go to the eye doctor like I did this morning after this most recent trip on the road.

320
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,020
 We'll explain in a second.

321
00:21:48,260 --> 00:21:51,240
 Matt Koff follows UNA at the Times Daily.

322
00:21:51,380 --> 00:21:52,140
 Matt, welcome in.

323
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:55,900
 Have you got your vision back from that carpet at Conway, Arkansas?

324
00:21:56,140 --> 00:21:56,680
 How are you?

325
00:21:58,060 --> 00:21:58,960
 I'm good, guys.

326
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,360
 That was definitely an ugly one on an ugly field.

327
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,440
 So, glad we got through that one.

328
00:22:06,380 --> 00:22:09,100
 Did they buy that on the back rack at the Dollar Tree?

329
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,100
 I mean, you look at that rug, and it's like, Matt, what in the world?

330
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,740
 Who bought this stuff?

331
00:22:13,780 --> 00:22:14,960
 That looked like my wardrobe.

332
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:22,040
 Yeah, there were times where I thought my TV was on black and white, but it was not.

333
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,960
 Well, the carpet was ugly, and let's face it, Matt, the win was not exactly pretty,

334
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,880
 but when you go on the road and you win, and in effect make history,

335
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,520
 the first D1 win against Central Arkansas in UNA football history,

336
00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:39,500
 where do you start breaking it down?

337
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:46,320
 I mean, there are two back-to-back drives there in the fourth quarter that you can start

338
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,300
 by breaking it down when, you know, Destin Wade fumbles on a drive where you have the

339
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:56,080
 opportunity to eat some clock and put the game away, and then for the second streak week,

340
00:22:56,460 --> 00:23:00,980
 Xavier Johnson coughed the ball up on a big-time drive in the fourth quarter.

341
00:23:00,980 --> 00:23:05,800
 So, I mean, up 14-3, your defense is taking care of business.

342
00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:14,080
 You know, that's a game that should never have really become a contest at all that, you know,

343
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:19,340
 UNA just kind of let them creep back into it, and week after week now, I've talked with Coach

344
00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:26,860
 Dearman about kind of throwing that knockout blow, and they had a chance to do it again,

345
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:32,800
 get up, you know, 21-3 or something like that, and just did not take advantage of the opportunity.

346
00:23:33,060 --> 00:23:35,540
 So, I think that's the biggest takeaway from this one.

347
00:23:35,860 --> 00:23:40,480
 Man, I would also guess that Coach Dearman's a little bit frustrated with this offense.

348
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,220
 It seems like they'll put one or two games together to where it seems to be humming,

349
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:49,460
 and then the next time, it's a couple of key turnovers.

350
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:56,040
 But the positive out of this game, and really for the entire season, is UNA's been able to win

351
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,680
 one-score games, just something they've not been able to do in Coach Dearman's era,

352
00:24:01,860 --> 00:24:04,320
 but they've really been able to rectify that.

353
00:24:04,420 --> 00:24:10,440
 They've got some tough games to go, but that's the difference many times in a winning season.

354
00:24:11,060 --> 00:24:15,380
 If you win three or four one-score games, you're going to have a winning season.

355
00:24:16,620 --> 00:24:20,160
 Yeah, I do think there's some credibility to that.

356
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:26,080
 Before this season, I think Coach Dearman had only won one possession game in the previous three years,

357
00:24:26,180 --> 00:24:28,120
 so it's definitely a big step forward.

358
00:24:28,980 --> 00:24:36,640
 But I think you would like those one-score games to come against the top teams in the league, right?

359
00:24:36,740 --> 00:24:41,440
 You'd like to win the one-score games against Austin T and Abilene Christian.

360
00:24:41,620 --> 00:24:48,760
 You don't want to be in some knock-down, drag-out fights against EKU and Central Arkansas.

361
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,420
 So I think that's kind of the next step.

362
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:57,000
 In all honesty, this is a group that's played to the level of its competition in every game.

363
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,720
 I think logic would tell you Austin T and Abilene were probably better than UNA,

364
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:06,000
 but they played well enough to give themselves a chance.

365
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:12,000
 And then Central Arkansas and EKU, in all honesty, should have been much more comfortable wins

366
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,740
 and UNA maybe stooped down to their level a little bit.

367
00:25:15,940 --> 00:25:19,160
 So you'd definitely like to see a little more consistency.

368
00:25:19,540 --> 00:25:25,340
 And I think one of the discouraging things is even in that Central Arkansas game,

369
00:25:25,420 --> 00:25:27,900
 you saw the offense kind of come together there.

370
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:32,820
 The two guys that caught touchdowns were K.J. Fields and Noah Gregg.

371
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:38,400
 You know, it wasn't the usual suspects that were putting points on the board.

372
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:45,660
 And for a moment there, you're like, man, if these two guys can combine with X. Johnson and Snap Reed

373
00:25:45,660 --> 00:25:49,680
 and, you know, Destin Wade has four really good options at receiver

374
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,680
 and this defense keeps playing the way it does, like this team has a chance to be really good.

375
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,860
 And then the offense, you know, seemingly didn't come out of the locker room there in the second half.

376
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,660
 Checking in with Matt St. Charles over the times, Dave.

377
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,420
 Let's talk about the next test.

378
00:26:06,900 --> 00:26:10,220
 You talk about playing up or down the competition.

379
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,020
 What's going to be this weekend's game?

380
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,820
 The good news, UNA is back on the friendly confines of Bobby Wallace Field

381
00:26:15,820 --> 00:26:17,540
 at Bank Independent Stadium.

382
00:26:17,740 --> 00:26:20,640
 It's under the lights, a sixth kick with the West Florida.

383
00:26:20,740 --> 00:26:21,800
 What happens there, Matt?

384
00:26:23,140 --> 00:26:26,280
 I mean, West Florida is a very, very interesting group.

385
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:32,540
 About five years behind UNA, I guess, in sort of their transition to Division I.

386
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,360
 This is their first year, so ineligible.

387
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:39,140
 But, you know, for five weeks this season, they've been ranked in the top 25.

388
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,660
 But, you know, they beat a Southern Illinois team whose quarterback was hurt.

389
00:26:46,940 --> 00:26:49,940
 They've, you know, destroyed Central Arkansas on the road.

390
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,160
 And that's their only win in the league.

391
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,260
 So, definitely some mixed results, I would say, from West Florida.

392
00:26:57,660 --> 00:27:00,420
 But it's a team that's going to run the football.

393
00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:03,480
 I've got a talented dual-threat quarterback.

394
00:27:03,740 --> 00:27:06,820
 Sort of reminds me of Lamar Jackson a little bit.

395
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:11,180
 You'd like to make him throw the football more than run it.

396
00:27:12,500 --> 00:27:20,380
 But, you know, in terms of the United Athletic Conference, these would be sort of equally matched foes.

397
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,860
 And you've got to think the home field advantage will be big here for UNA.

398
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:30,560
 And, again, sort of a must-win game if they want to even nip the playoffs there at the end of the season.

399
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,720
 Yeah, you mentioned the defense.

400
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:36,580
 Dallas Johnson with the red zone interception in the third quarter.

401
00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:44,660
 And how huge Raylan Sims literally forces a fumble at the, and I'm serious, the one-inch line.

402
00:27:44,860 --> 00:27:45,380
 Inch line.

403
00:27:45,380 --> 00:27:50,460
 With inside two minutes to play in the game, which saved UNA.

404
00:27:51,420 --> 00:27:59,280
 Listen, you cover high school, too, and you saw one of the best games of the year with Colbert County and Wilson.

405
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:09,420
 Wilson rallies with a 21-point fourth quarter to come back and beat Colbert County 34-33.

406
00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:12,340
 Churchwell, the quarterback, had a good game.

407
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,540
 Found Lorenzo in pickings.

408
00:28:16,260 --> 00:28:18,840
 Brody Shook had a 68-yard return.

409
00:28:18,940 --> 00:28:24,380
 But that was nearly a miraculous comeback, 21-point fourth quarter for Wilson.

410
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,740
 Yeah, I'll be candid with you guys.

411
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,740
 I've seen some uncompetitive high school games this year.

412
00:28:31,020 --> 00:28:34,940
 And 28 seconds into that one, I thought I was in for another one.

413
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:41,440
 And in all honesty, I was for the first three quarters there, the 20-point game in the fourth.

414
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:47,420
 And then, you know, with seven minutes to go, Wilson just really, really started to execute.

415
00:28:48,820 --> 00:28:51,240
 Ran the ball considerably well.

416
00:28:52,640 --> 00:29:00,940
 And it's like Coach Trey Lane said, like, sometimes those skill guys get lost in the shuffle and kind of have to swallow their pride.

417
00:29:00,940 --> 00:29:07,860
 And they really paid dividends there with the passing touchdowns that got them back into the game.

418
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:15,120
 And then, you know, a kicking game that they missed a couple extra points in that one that put them in some weird spots.

419
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:21,280
 And then, the kid that was kicking the onside kicks was just on point.

420
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,280
 The first one, I thought, had a good chance for them to recover and didn't get it.

421
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:32,020
 But they got a stop and then pulled a perfect one out to get possession back.

422
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:41,100
 And then, the biggest call of the game is after they drove down for their last touchdown to go for two to win the game,

423
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,360
 I thought was a great call from Coach Lane that, you know,

424
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,100
 Colbert County is probably not a team you'd want to go to overtime with on the road.

425
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:56,780
 So, just to take the lead there and then find a way to get a stop there at the very end,

426
00:29:56,860 --> 00:30:03,960
 despite another bad onside kick that gave Colbert County a chance there in opponent territory.

427
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,940
 But, you know, Wilson found a way to win.

428
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,360
 Absolutely.

429
00:30:07,780 --> 00:30:09,300
 Listen, you do a great job.

430
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:15,160
 A busy weekend when you cover high school football Friday in UNA on Saturday.

431
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:20,000
 First round of the playoffs, we'll be talking about that in more detail with Ben Thomas.

432
00:30:20,860 --> 00:30:26,240
 Tomorrow, Muscle Shoals at Oxford, Pell City at Russellville, St. Clair County at Florence,

433
00:30:26,860 --> 00:30:28,600
 Vinmont at Central Florence.

434
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,480
 Just some of the mini-games this weekend.

435
00:30:32,020 --> 00:30:34,600
 Matt, where can we get online to get all your great stuff?

436
00:30:35,540 --> 00:30:38,740
 Yeah, all my stuff lives on timesdaily.com,

437
00:30:38,780 --> 00:30:42,980
 and you can find me on social media at Matt underscore St. Charles.

438
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,420
 Home cooking this weekend.

439
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,440
 Keep the bags packed.

440
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,640
 Matt, in the meantime, thanks so much for your time today.

441
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,780
 Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.

442
00:30:50,780 --> 00:30:51,260
 Thank you, Ben.

443
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:51,820
 You too.

444
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,400
 You too.

445
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,360
 Matt St. Charles, the Times Daily.

446
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:55,960
 Coming up, let's go to the max.

447
00:30:56,140 --> 00:30:57,520
 It's on deck on the Boomo Bugg Show.

448
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:58,140
 Stay with us.

449
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,400
 I've always felt that sports imitate life,

450
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:06,780
 and in both arenas, everyone loves a good comeback story.

451
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,960
 I sold my dynasty almost three years ago

452
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,880
 and have missed coming to the ballpark every day since.

453
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,440
 Once my old team dispersed

454
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,500
 and our fan base hinted about wanting to come back,

455
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,340
 we built a new stadium, made some calls to our old players,

456
00:31:17,340 --> 00:31:19,640
 and signed some new ones off of waivers and trades.

457
00:31:20,140 --> 00:31:22,460
 Midtown Meat House now has the finest team of butchers,

458
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,460
 caterers, and sandwich makers in the league,

459
00:31:24,540 --> 00:31:25,520
 and we're playing to win.

460
00:31:25,940 --> 00:31:28,660
 Our new location is 123 Magnolia Street in Florence,

461
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,600
 but our lineup with the very best steaks,

462
00:31:30,740 --> 00:31:33,140
 chops, burgers, and sandwiches has remained the same.

463
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,500
 Don't call it a comeback.

464
00:31:34,940 --> 00:31:35,840
 We'll be here for years.

465
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,280
 The holidays will be here before you know it,

466
00:31:39,620 --> 00:31:42,320

 Max Howell, welcome in.

587
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:51,780
 How are you?

588
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:55,320
 One thing I can tell you, my name is not on the prospect list.

589
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:55,520
 Yeah.

590
00:37:56,020 --> 00:37:56,720
 What do you mean, man?

591
00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:58,020
 Come on and say, look.

592
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,020
 Well, they've already decided the coach just hasn't announced him yet.

593
00:38:02,100 --> 00:38:03,580
 Jimbo Fisher's going to be the coach.

594
00:38:04,020 --> 00:38:05,580
 Well, he's such a nice guy.

595
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:06,680
 Golly gee.

596
00:38:06,820 --> 00:38:08,980
 He reminds me of a guy on Mayberry, doesn't he?

597
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:09,800
 You know what?

598
00:38:09,860 --> 00:38:10,980
 They get a d*** out of what it is.

599
00:38:11,780 --> 00:38:14,160
 Florida State's not going to have to pay him anything for a while.

600
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:15,840
 That's the key to that.

601
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,960
 He's still drawing that check for me and him, see.

602
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:22,200
 He lives in Tallahassee.

603
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:22,960
 By the way.

604
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:24,720
 So, I mean, he's a natural.

605
00:38:25,540 --> 00:38:29,500
 You know, I hope they murder him his recruiting is all I can say to you.

606
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:33,360
 Are there any rules to be broken now, Max, when it comes to recruiting?

607
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,840
 I didn't know there were any rules now.

608
00:38:35,260 --> 00:38:39,480
 Well, they aren't really today, but they could make it retroactive how he got his quarterback.

609
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:39,860
 Oh, no.

610
00:38:41,860 --> 00:38:43,940
 I don't first-hand how that happens.

611
00:38:43,940 --> 00:38:44,680
 I bet you do.

612
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,200
 Oh, my gosh.

613
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,080
 Well, I agree with you.

614
00:38:48,140 --> 00:38:49,120
 I think it's one of those deals.

615
00:38:49,220 --> 00:38:50,120
 He wants back in.

616
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:51,060
 He's got the itch.

617
00:38:51,060 --> 00:38:52,000
 He's got the ego.

618
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:54,900
 And he can give them the Jumbo discount.

619
00:38:55,020 --> 00:38:57,400
 Let's face it, Max, confirm for us.

620
00:38:57,780 --> 00:38:58,840
 It's not Texas.

621
00:38:59,000 --> 00:38:59,860
 It's not Oklahoma.

622
00:38:59,980 --> 00:39:01,980
 They ain't got all the money in the world down there, do they?

623
00:39:02,860 --> 00:39:03,900
 You know what, though?

624
00:39:04,020 --> 00:39:04,340
 That's it.

625
00:39:04,380 --> 00:39:04,920
 You're right.

626
00:39:05,180 --> 00:39:06,300
 But here's what.

627
00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:11,840
 When people make that comment to me, let's explore a little thing.

628
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:15,740
 All the money and all the money and all the prospects that both those schools could get.

629
00:39:15,740 --> 00:39:20,560
 The last time they've taken us to win a national championship, they have won in 20 years.

630
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:21,120
 Yeah.

631
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,460
 In 20 years, they've won one.

632
00:39:22,780 --> 00:39:25,500
 A&M had won one since 1938.

633
00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:26,060
 Wow.

634
00:39:26,060 --> 00:39:27,460
 We were freshmen.

635
00:39:27,460 --> 00:39:30,920
 I mean, I was just around at that time.

636
00:39:31,140 --> 00:39:36,500
 I wasn't watching football, but I can recall it.

637
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:44,300
 But the bottom line is, they do less with more than anybody in the marketplace.

638
00:39:45,140 --> 00:39:52,260
 And I'm telling you, the word's out already, they may be looking for another quarterback

639
00:39:52,260 --> 00:39:53,060
 for next year.

640
00:39:54,060 --> 00:39:57,200
 That may be coming as a change at the top.

641
00:39:57,940 --> 00:40:04,560
 I don't know anything about the inside story about that, but I picked it up talking to some

642
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:09,740
 friends of mine that were another SEC school, and the family's not happy with where the current

643
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:13,400
 quarterback is standing right now, his progression, getting ready for the NFL.

644
00:40:13,660 --> 00:40:18,220
 I don't think the Texas fans are happy, by all means.

645
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:22,780
 So, I just think we're at a point now, we talk about it every week, guys.

646
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,420
 The game's changing right before our eyes, you know, in preparation for the field.

647
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:33,000
 The game itself is as good as we've ever had, maybe better, because everybody, not everybody,

648
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,080
 but most people have equal talent now.

649
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:40,340
 And that makes the ball, you know, the part of the game I'd hate to be in, I'd hate to be

650
00:40:40,340 --> 00:40:45,160
 a Vegas guy and have to write down the odds on every one of these ballgames.

651
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,540
 Somebody's not winning a lot of money, is all I can say, if they're using the old formula

652
00:40:49,540 --> 00:40:51,660
 that they used to use.

653
00:40:52,120 --> 00:41:00,800
 But my question, or my comment about all of this is, until they get some rules that are

654
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:07,440
 applicable to everybody, and they can be enforced, I think we're going to keep getting the mismatches,

655
00:41:07,500 --> 00:41:10,620
 and we're going to keep getting the schools that's got the most money that's going to get

656
00:41:10,620 --> 00:41:11,340
 the best players.

657
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:17,360
 But just remember, there's one thing that can negate that, is that if they aren't coached,

658
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,760
 when they get them there, one or two things, the kids aren't going to be happy, or they're

659
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,040
 going to transfer right away.

660
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:28,700
 Now, the limit of transfers is, I think, going to have to be part of the new rules package.

661
00:41:29,060 --> 00:41:34,000
 Maybe give them one transfer, give them five to play four.

662
00:41:34,500 --> 00:41:37,980
 Whether they go to school or not, that's not in the equation.

663
00:41:38,900 --> 00:41:46,820
 So, I think we're really sitting on a situation where the committee met this weekend, and I

664
00:41:46,820 --> 00:41:50,720
 guess tomorrow night we'll get the first preview of what their result is.

665
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:56,420
 And I kind of was on another show earlier this morning, we reviewed the committee, and there's

666
00:41:56,420 --> 00:41:57,900
 some favoritism on there.

667
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,440
 I think we all can agree that that happens.

668
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:08,360
 And I can't wait to see, if they hold to the two-game rule of losses, then there's going

669
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,120
 to only be a couple of schools that the SEC is going to make it.

670
00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:15,260
 Of course, they only take 12 by number.

671
00:42:16,060 --> 00:42:17,820
 Notre Dame's one right off the bat.

672
00:42:17,900 --> 00:42:19,600
 They're going to get two from the lower division.

673
00:42:19,780 --> 00:42:25,380
 So, really, only nine slots are available for the Big Ten and for the SEC.

674
00:42:26,300 --> 00:42:28,480
 And, of course, Alabama's got a big one coming up.

675
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:35,940
 Both of those teams have, one of them could play their way out of it, I think, this week.

676
00:42:36,460 --> 00:42:38,580
 And don't you love the way Kiffin handled that?

677
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,480
 He said, the reason they're playing in the afternoon is that the SEC's mad at them.

678
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:54,100
 So, this was my deduction, that half-drugs playing in the afternoon is not as loud as full-drugs

679
00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:55,020
 playing at night.

680
00:42:59,220 --> 00:43:04,060
 Because I have been to those night games in Baton Rouge, I won't tell you guys.

681
00:43:04,620 --> 00:43:08,940
 Some of those guys, some of those motorhomes start rolling in about Wednesday.

682
00:43:10,180 --> 00:43:15,140
 There'll be 100,000 people there, and half of them don't know where they are.

683
00:43:15,340 --> 00:43:16,000
 That's how Mike said.

684
00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:16,720
 Don't care.

685
00:43:17,260 --> 00:43:22,640
 Max, but before we get into LSU and Alabama, let me ask you about the exact opposite of Mike

686
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:26,320
 Dorval, and that is Shane Beamer at South Carolina.

687
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,280
 They were the hottest team in the SEC in October.

688
00:43:30,700 --> 00:43:34,480
 They went 3-1, they got Texas A&M coming to Columbia.

689
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:40,520
 Max, they finished with A&M, Arkansas, Georgia, and Clemson.

690
00:43:41,020 --> 00:43:47,920
 They may go 3-1, and Max, finish up 9-3 or 8-4.

691
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,340
 Neely, you've got family there.

692
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,140
 Max, has Beamer saved his job again?

693
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,320
 He's already saved, I can tell you that now.

694
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,320
 He's already saved.

695
00:43:57,420 --> 00:44:00,540
 He's already done enough right now just to turn around itself.

696
00:44:00,700 --> 00:44:04,300
 But it's the thing that they're excited about.

697
00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:09,820
 And, you know, the doubters are still, well, if you could do it, now, how come you couldn't

698
00:44:09,820 --> 00:44:11,500
 do it for the last two or three years?

699
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:13,860
 Because he had them stirred up.

700
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,940
 I know this for a fact.

701
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:21,240
 I was over there this summer, and had a chance to go out with some of those guys.

702
00:44:22,580 --> 00:44:27,620
 We were riding red on the boat, on the lake, by the way, when this conversation took place.

703
00:44:28,020 --> 00:44:29,120
 But they were just waiting.

704
00:44:29,260 --> 00:44:30,440
 They already had bets up.

705
00:44:30,500 --> 00:44:33,020
 They were waiting on which game he was going to be fired at.

706
00:44:33,740 --> 00:44:37,380
 And, of course, the season started relatively slow, just like all of them have.

707
00:44:37,540 --> 00:44:38,120
 But you're right.

708
00:44:38,180 --> 00:44:41,980
 All of a sudden, October 1st came around, and somebody turned the light on.

709
00:44:42,620 --> 00:44:48,680
 And the players caught on to what they were doing and certainly have given the fan base

710
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:56,100
 an exciting end to a season that they thought was going to be just the same as it's been the

711
00:44:56,100 --> 00:44:57,080
 last two or three years.

712
00:44:57,660 --> 00:45:02,880
 You know, I don't know how he found himself in that category.

713
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,040
 He came out of a coaching family, you know, and you put the, you know, the way of the land

714
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,640
 was before he took the job.

715
00:45:09,660 --> 00:45:14,780
 He kind of rolled the dice, I think, maybe hoping he could obviously start better than he did.

716
00:45:15,380 --> 00:45:18,580
 But what is he, is this the third or four year he's been there?

717
00:45:19,580 --> 00:45:20,460
 Three, I know.

718
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:21,660
 I think four, maybe.

719
00:45:21,660 --> 00:45:30,020
 But the bottom line is, from my contacts over there, he's solidified his junior for another

720
00:45:30,020 --> 00:45:30,980
 couple years now.

721
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,060
 And he's a nice guy, don't get me wrong.

722
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,440
 I don't wish you the thing.

723
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,520
 He tries to do the ethical thing at all.

724
00:45:38,620 --> 00:45:40,840
 I think that might hurt him sometimes with some of the players.

725
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,260
 But the fact is, they've got it together, and they're looking forward to, you know,

726
00:45:45,340 --> 00:45:48,540
 probably going through you more the rest of the year.

727
00:45:50,020 --> 00:45:50,800
 Let's say this.

728
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,720
 When I watch that Georgia-Florida game on Saturday, I'm thinking, that looks like a

729
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:59,520
 high school team versus an NFL team, is what it looks like to me.

730
00:46:00,140 --> 00:46:04,080
 And, of course, Georgia will have a little more competition when they go to Oxford this

731
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:04,400
 week.

732
00:46:04,940 --> 00:46:11,220
 But I still think they'll probably end up, probably 10-11, 10-2 at the most.

733
00:46:12,180 --> 00:46:18,040
 They'll be, their only team in the league is almost guaranteed a slot in the playoffs.

734
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:19,620
 This will be really interesting to see.

735
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,160
 Alabama's got to win this one at Baton Rouge this weekend if they, you know, if they'd have

736
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,100
 any hope at all in getting to the playoffs.

737
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:33,520
 And that's another question that, I know you've got to have an opinion about it, but my perception

738
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,060
 is that the new, it's a new committee, new structure.

739
00:46:37,340 --> 00:46:41,740
 We went through all that this morning on another show about the loyalties that some of these

740
00:46:41,740 --> 00:46:42,380
 people have.

741
00:46:42,460 --> 00:46:43,340
 It's on the new committee.

742
00:46:43,780 --> 00:46:46,100
 But I don't think they're going to dip below two.

743
00:46:46,500 --> 00:46:47,840
 I think they'll stay at two.

744
00:46:48,220 --> 00:47:01,180
 Because what the networks want, if we can all argue about it, as the committee of public relations

745
00:47:01,180 --> 00:47:06,460
 has released, we're going to try to be as objective as possible, and we're going to try

746
00:47:06,460 --> 00:47:09,160
 to get the best 12 teams there.

747
00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:10,520
 Well, that's not true.

748
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,300
 I hate to say that.

749
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:13,560
 We already know this.

750
00:47:13,940 --> 00:47:19,820
 What they want is some more of an equitable position with all the leagues out there, so they'll

751
00:47:19,820 --> 00:47:22,700
 have more viewers at the end.

752
00:47:23,260 --> 00:47:25,420
 The money will be spread around more.

753
00:47:27,140 --> 00:47:29,440
 It's a business decision.

754
00:47:30,540 --> 00:47:32,460
 It's not a competitive decision.

755
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:33,240
 It's business.

756
00:47:33,940 --> 00:47:36,460
 Where can we generate the most money?

757
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,300
 Well, you've got to get more than just the SEC and Big Ten teams involved.

758
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,320
 And they're going to do that.

759
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:47,540
 We know they're going to have three, and if the SEC can't produce but one or two, then

760
00:47:47,540 --> 00:47:50,020
 they're going to get there to take more out of that league also.

761
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,980
 Well, it's BS wrapped in a sugar-coated pill is what it is, and they give you that line.

762
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:57,420
 Your thoughts, what is going to happen this weekend?

763
00:47:57,620 --> 00:48:02,900
 Because statistically, I mean, there's no question as far as how LSU and Alabama stack up.

764
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,380
 But that's on paper, and they tell me they don't play it on paper.

765
00:48:06,420 --> 00:48:07,640
 What's going to happen this weekend?

766
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,340
 Well, they've already released a weak-skinned linebacker.

767
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:13,840
 It's going to be back.

768
00:48:14,340 --> 00:48:16,000
 And I've watched them close enough.

769
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:21,660
 But what I believe on defense they're going to do, they'll use him as a spy on the quarterback

770
00:48:21,660 --> 00:48:22,240
 for Alabama.

771
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,040
 And if he gets to the corner and he has to pull it down, he better hold on.

772
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:29,940
 Because that kid's as good a running back as he is in the country.

773
00:48:30,300 --> 00:48:30,960
 I'm going to tell you.

774
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,040
 I think it's going to be an outstanding ballgame.

775
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,360
 LSU's favored by five or something like that.

776
00:48:37,700 --> 00:48:38,540
 Five and a half now.

777
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:39,200
 It is.

778
00:48:39,420 --> 00:48:40,200
 Five and a half.

779
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,220
 I think Alabama's got a chance.

780
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:44,180
 I really do.

781
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:52,840
 But I hope their preparation this week is – I hope everybody realizes the importance of this ballgame on that Alabama side,

782
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,500
 both coaching staff and players.

783
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:58,220
 It's going to take a full effort for 60 minutes to beat them.

784
00:48:58,420 --> 00:48:59,020
 I know that.

785
00:48:59,540 --> 00:49:01,380
 And I think they can do that.

786
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:07,880
 But they can't go out there and just – you know, they can't wall around the first quarter or two and get behind by two touchdowns.

787
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,080
 Because if they do, they'll never catch up.

788
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:15,240
 Well, Max, Alabama's got five starters coming back.

789
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,980
 That was – Kael and DeBoer mentioned that this morning.

790
00:49:19,740 --> 00:49:23,180
 We'll see how – as far as full strength.

791
00:49:23,300 --> 00:49:24,420
 Max, great stuff.

792
00:49:24,900 --> 00:49:32,980
 This is just an absolutely stellar slate of games coming up on Saturday, not only in the SEC, but across the nation.

793
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:34,840
 Listen, have a great week.

794
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,980
 Hopefully we can all get through the election.

795
00:49:36,980 --> 00:49:38,560
 Live through it again.

796
00:49:39,460 --> 00:49:40,840
 Max, have a great week, bud.

797
00:49:40,900 --> 00:49:42,340
 Let's do this again next Monday.

798
00:49:43,020 --> 00:49:46,660
 All we've got to do is talk on the weekend and we'll do it.

799
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:47,400
 Thank you, guys.

800
00:49:49,060 --> 00:49:54,520
 Max, how are we going to – well, let's quickly mention the UNA earlier football basketball about to get rolling tonight.

801
00:49:55,340 --> 00:49:56,920
 And, B.B., this fits right in with you.

802
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,700
 It's a 9 o'clock camp at UC Davis.

803
00:50:00,700 --> 00:50:03,840
 That's basically a suburb of Sacramento, California.

804
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:09,200
 So, a late date for UNA's opening game tonight in the Bay Area College basketball season.

805
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:15,460
 Yeah, we'll be talking to Tony Pujol, I'm sure, in the next couple of weeks about – he's got really a very new lineup.

806
00:50:15,620 --> 00:50:17,060
 Got two guys returning.

807
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:24,880
 And tomorrow night, the UNA women are going to be in Starkville, Mississippi to play the Bulldogs.

808
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:31,200
 What a time for the year for all of us sports fanatics, football, basketball, you name it.

809
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:33,560
 Coming up next hour, we're going to be checking in with more.

810
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:40,340
 William, the Redfish Barge are going to be talking Tide, the V-Man, talking Tennessee, and Charlie Trumman all over the Auburn Tigers.

811
00:50:40,460 --> 00:50:41,380
 It's all straight ahead.

812
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:42,340
 You're on the Boom World Bug Show.

813
00:50:42,420 --> 00:50:43,000
 Stay with us.

814
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:51,520
 I've always felt that sports imitate life, and in both arenas, everyone loves a good comeback story.

815
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,620
 I sold my dynasty almost three years ago and have missed coming to the ballpark every day since.

816
00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:00,420
 Once my old team dispersed and our fan base hinted about wanting to come back, we built a new stadium,

817
00:51:00,780 --> 00:51:04,360
 made some calls to our old players, and signed some new ones off of waivers and trades.

818
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:10,280
 Midtown Meat House now has the finest team of butchers, caterers, and sandwich makers in the league, and we're playing to win.

819
00:51:10,700 --> 00:51:17,900
 Our new location is 123 Magnolia Street in Florence, but our lineup with the very best steaks, chops, burgers, and sandwiches has remained the same.

820
00:51:18,260 --> 00:51:19,240
 Don't call it a comeback.

821
00:51:19,700 --> 00:51:20,580
 We'll be here for years.

822
00:51:23,060 --> 00:51:24,880
 Bush Light is cold and smooth.

823
00:51:25,060 --> 00:51:27,160

 Enjoy responsibly.

 U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville is responding to the shooting that occurred over the weekend in Birmingham at Legion Field.

893
00:55:09,980 --> 00:55:16,160
 One person was killed and eight others were injured by the gunfire that broke out following the Magic City Classic football game.

894
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:23,480
 Tuberville says that as governor of the state of Alabama, he would ensure that criminals involved in such a shooting are put away for the maximum sentence.

895
00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:29,020
 He said offenders engaging in this type of criminality should fear the consequences of hurting residents of this state.

896
00:55:29,260 --> 00:55:39,660
 Tuberville says that as Alabama's governor, he will be in constant communication with city, county, and state law enforcement agencies in order to identify these criminals and put them away for the maximum amount of time.

897
00:55:39,940 --> 00:55:42,480

908
00:56:21,580 --> 00:56:28,240
 The shooting followed the traditional Magic City Classic football game between two historically black universities that was held on Saturday night.

909
00:56:28,420 --> 00:56:31,760
 Birmingham police chief Michael Pickett called the shooting a senseless act of violence.

910
00:56:32,580 --> 00:56:37,180
 Two men from Mexico were sentenced to prison for taking part in a drug trafficking operation out of Mobile.

911
00:56:37,420 --> 00:56:44,460
 The investigation into the operation was first started in 2022 when another co-conspirator was found in possession of nine kilograms of cocaine.

912
00:56:44,460 --> 00:56:48,680
 The two Mexican men were then arrested in a traffic stop in March of 2025.

 Not in my wildest dreams do they think the Titans would sell Jeffrey Simmons until the Bears said,

917
00:57:12,540 --> 00:57:14,420
 how about two ones and a four?

918
00:57:14,660 --> 00:57:14,980
 How many?

919
00:57:15,020 --> 00:57:16,260
 We're in two ones.

920
00:57:16,260 --> 00:57:18,340
 I said two ones.

921
00:57:19,180 --> 00:57:20,260
 And a four.

922
00:57:20,580 --> 00:57:29,220
 And yeah, the Titans are like, okay, you can have one of the best at that position in the sport.

923
00:57:29,380 --> 00:57:31,800
 And we'll flip you a fifth round pick.

924
00:57:32,020 --> 00:57:33,060
 Jeffrey Simmons is a bear.

925
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,660
 This is what it means, okay, with all due respect to Titans fans.

926
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:37,680
 You know what it means.

927
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,020
 It means that we're done here.

928
00:57:40,420 --> 00:57:47,580
 For Robert Sala to essentially say Jeffrey Simmons is available for a certain price.

929
00:57:47,580 --> 00:57:53,060
 And the fact that they hit the price just goes to show you that the Titans are retooling.

930
00:57:53,060 --> 00:57:57,060
 And that clearly, as you might imagine, makes sense.

 Now, get ready to roll Shoals, Decatur, Athens, and all of northwest Alabama and southern Tennessee.

956
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,240
 It's time for the Valley's exclusive FM sports voice.

957
01:00:30,140 --> 01:00:32,540
 The Boomo Bugg Show.

958
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:38,300
 Your exclusive inside track to the Tide, Tigers, Tennessee, and the rest of the SEC.

959
01:00:39,100 --> 01:00:44,500
 Now, your host, Harold Bugg on 93.9, the score.

960
01:00:44,980 --> 01:00:47,060
 Welcome back in our tour of the Boomo Bugg Show.

961
01:00:47,140 --> 01:00:48,820
 I'm Harold Bugg alongside Brett Beaird.

962
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:55,600
 Thank you so much for giving us a ride around the Tennessee Valley and for Charlie Trotman to join our little huddle this afternoon.

963
01:00:55,800 --> 01:01:01,240
 Charlie, of course, the former Auburn quarterback and radio guru.

964
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:02,360
 Charlie, welcome in.

965
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:02,960
 How are you?

966
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,300
 I'm doing great, guys.

967
01:01:05,380 --> 01:01:07,480
 A little disappointed in Auburn's performance.

968
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,220
 But other than that, I'm doing good.

969
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:15,440
 You know, Charlie, is this one of those games, if you just came in, you didn't listen to the game, didn't watch the game,

970
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,780
 you say, wow, what was Auburn doing?

971
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:23,660
 And it's a classic case of not how you begin a game, but how you end the game.

972
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:31,280
 This final score, I think, in so many ways has Auburn fans scratching their heads, especially that final quarter of the game.

973
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,800
 Yeah, that's true, Harold.

974
01:01:35,020 --> 01:01:38,020
 I think, you know, Auburn had a good game plan.

975
01:01:38,460 --> 01:01:43,360
 They went out and did a fairly good job defensively in the first half.

976
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:49,080
 You know, they kept, you know, the score low from Ole Miss' standpoint.

977
01:01:49,660 --> 01:01:58,780
 And, you know, early in the third quarter, they scored and, you know, had an attempted two-point conversion to tie the game.

978
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:03,880
 And it looked like it was going to go down to the fourth quarter and maybe the last drive even.

979
01:02:04,580 --> 01:02:12,600
 But you've got to give Ole Miss a lot of credit and Trinidad Chambliss and the guys that made big plays for them because, you know,

980
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:21,420
 he had two quarterback runs that scored and he threw a pass over the middle, a long pass to his tight end that made a great catch.

981
01:02:21,420 --> 01:02:30,520
 And then even Deuce Knight came in and kind of sealed, you know, you just put on the icing on the cake for Ole Miss.

982
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:31,680
 It was disappointing.

983
01:02:32,020 --> 01:02:34,640
 I think Alex Golesh is correct.

984
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:44,420
 It's the first time I've seen this team, I won't call it quit, because the effort was still there trying to make plays.

985
01:02:44,420 --> 01:02:55,920
 But, for instance, when Trinidad Chambliss threw a touchdown pass to former Auburn wide receiver Horatio Field, it was well covered.

986
01:02:56,200 --> 01:03:05,080
 It could have been, you know, knocked away, but he made the catch and they made the plays that turned to get what was a close game into a runaway.

987
01:03:05,740 --> 01:03:18,680
 Charlie, I certainly understand why Auburn fans are disappointed, but they literally were a two-point conversion away, as we talked about earlier in the show, from tying the game.

988
01:03:19,620 --> 01:03:23,180
 And then Chambliss just does his stuff.

989
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:31,060
 Charlie, when that guy is healthy and he is playing well, we saw this in the Georgia playoff game last year.

990
01:03:31,460 --> 01:03:38,500
 When he just took over the game, they ended up being 13 of 16 on third down, which is incredible.

991
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,160
 They scored on 7 to 10 drives.

992
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:50,320
 I've been saying since the summer, Charlie, I think Chambliss is going to be in New York as far as a Heisman Trophy contender, and he may even win it.

993
01:03:51,260 --> 01:03:53,620
 Yeah, he is outstanding.

994
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,860
 He's got a knack for making big plays.

995
01:03:57,500 --> 01:04:04,500
 And to think that he was playing in a different level of football before he got to Ole Miss is hard to believe.

996
01:04:04,500 --> 01:04:17,920
 But, you know, every time that you see Trinidad Chambliss put into a situation where it's critical and timely for him to make a big play, he does it.

997
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:28,380
 And, you know, you would think that Auburn, instead of letting him, when they go to, you know, no backs in the backfield to an empty set,

998
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:39,260
 knowing that he's either got to throw the football or run it, and he runs for two long touchdowns, or one almost touchdown and another long touchdown,

999
01:04:40,100 --> 01:04:46,800
 it, you know, you just wonder why Auburn didn't have a spy or somebody on him for those plays,

1000
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:58,020
 and how he was able to get loose, you know, in the defensive backfield and make Auburn pay for those mistakes.

1001
01:04:58,220 --> 01:05:05,480
 But, look, guys, you know, I think it's becoming more and more apparent with the better teams that we play

1002
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:17,740
 that Auburn, offensively and defensively on the front lines, is not really playing the kind of football that you've got to play to win in the SEC.

1003
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:22,480
 For the last few weeks, we've only scored in the teams.

1004
01:05:23,300 --> 01:05:27,340
 You know, offensively, you can't win in the SEC and score in the teams.

1005
01:05:27,900 --> 01:05:31,480
 I don't know that anybody's won a game in the teams this year.

1006
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:42,920
 You know, so you've got to score in the high 20s, low 30s, maybe even 40 points to be able to beat a team like Ole Miss over there in Oxford.

1007
01:05:43,180 --> 01:05:50,720
 So, you know, offensively, it's been a mixed bag, you know, since the Georgia game.

1008
01:05:51,460 --> 01:05:54,760
 You know, Auburn has given up a lot of sacks.

1009
01:05:54,760 --> 01:06:01,280
 They gave up four or five sacks again Saturday and had, I think, seven sacks against LSU.

1010
01:06:01,540 --> 01:06:03,000
 You can't win that way.

1011
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:12,280
 And when you've got that kind of pressure on your passer, Byron Brown is not having enough time to look downfield to find out who's open.

1012
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:17,040
 So, it's been a problem on the offensive and defensive lines.

1013
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:22,480
 Auburn's rushing defense has been awkwardly bad.

1014
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,520
 You know, and they've got some really good players.

1015
01:06:26,700 --> 01:06:29,460
 I mean, Melinda is one of the best linebackers in the conference.

1016
01:06:29,460 --> 01:06:38,740
 But, you know, when your offensive, I mean, your defensive linemen in front of you are getting manhandled, it makes you, you know, you can't make every single play.

1017
01:06:39,220 --> 01:06:49,240
 So, it's been very disheartening to watch the team get dismantled by LSU and Ole Miss in successive weeks.

1018
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:56,380
 Well, if you're going to do this, you just have to be a quarterback the caliber of Joe Montana, Charlie Trotman to make those plays under those conditions.

1019
01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:00,380
 Charlie, let's face it, there's this thing called Get Right Games.

1020
01:07:01,020 --> 01:07:05,680
 And if you look at it on paper, I would imagine Auburn fans right now are the lowest of lows.

1021
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:12,560
 But the next three games, even four because it's a rivalry game, but the next three games are, as they say, winnable.

1022
01:07:13,180 --> 01:07:17,400
 You've got Arkansas, stayed on the road, back home with Sanford.

1023
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,200
 But let's start this weekend.

1024
01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:22,720
 This is interesting to see Auburn and Arkansas.

1025
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:28,320
 Crazy things happen because how many connections are there between Auburn and Arkansas over the years?

1026
01:07:29,020 --> 01:07:39,260
 There are a lot of them, starting with Gus Malzahn, you know, a lot of, you know, even some of the quarterbacks that have come from Arkansas and played for Auburn.

1027
01:07:39,460 --> 01:07:44,380
 So, I would, you know, the thing about Arkansas is they're a dangerous team.

1028
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:53,200
 I know they didn't play especially well Saturday, but that's a pretty good Missouri team, I think.

1029
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:54,540
 Isn't that who they played?

1030
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:55,520
 Yeah.

1031
01:07:56,860 --> 01:07:58,700
 That's a pretty good Missouri team.

1032
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:04,980
 And, you know, they kept them off balance and Arkansas was not able to do much.

1033
01:08:05,260 --> 01:08:08,340
 And, you know, you just don't know.

1034
01:08:08,500 --> 01:08:12,040
 I mean, Auburn, how do we match up against Ole Miss?

1035
01:08:12,140 --> 01:08:14,200
 Not very well or against LSU.

1036
01:08:14,780 --> 01:08:21,000
 But then, you know, when you say how do you match up against Arkansas, it ought to be in Auburn's favor.

1037
01:08:21,500 --> 01:08:27,460
 But then again, the way that Auburn has played, I mean, Arkansas has got good edge rushers.

1038
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,160
 Arkansas can, you know, sack the quarterback.

1039
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:36,780
 I mean, are they going to come in and get four or five sacks and keep Auburn in the teams offensively?

1040
01:08:37,820 --> 01:08:39,440
 I just don't know, guys.

1041
01:08:39,440 --> 01:08:54,940
 I mean, you don't have a lot of confidence in what's happened on the offensive and defensive lines of late that gives you the kind of feeling that it's going to be maybe a two-score game in Auburn's favor.

1042
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,140
 You just, you don't, you don't know that.

1043
01:08:58,100 --> 01:08:59,440
 You're exactly right.

1044
01:08:59,440 --> 01:09:02,860
 Charlie, Auburn ran for 192 against Georgia.

1045
01:09:03,060 --> 01:09:05,400
 They gained 63 yards rushing.

1046
01:09:05,620 --> 01:09:08,160
 I know some of that was subtracted by sacks.

1047
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:13,160
 Ole Miss gained 224 and they were giving up 161.

1048
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:17,400
 There were significant changes on the offensive line.

1049
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,080
 Jacoby Ward started his first career game.

1050
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,700
 Stanton Ramell moved from right tackle to left tackle.

1051
01:09:25,380 --> 01:09:31,220
 Wilson Zaire, who may be the best offensive lineman they have, moved from left guard to right tackle.

1052
01:09:31,980 --> 01:09:34,800
 And McManus moved from right guard to left guard.

1053
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:42,960
 Charlie, there is, that's some pretty significant, will they keep this same offensive line when they play Arkansas?

1054
01:09:44,260 --> 01:09:45,580
 It's a good question.

1055
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,980
 I think, Brett, that they've been looking for the right combination.

1056
01:09:52,120 --> 01:10:01,340
 It's sort of a musical chairs type situation with trying to put the right tackle with the right guard next to them,

1057
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:10,600
 trying to get Best, who's been the center all year, to, you know, anchor an offensive line that is improving.

1058
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:19,600
 But they really haven't improved with the way they've had to transition and put new players in

1059
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,700
 and transition certain players from right side to left side, like Ramell.

1060
01:10:23,980 --> 01:10:32,560
 I just think that makes it difficult to try to get any, you know, what you would call cohesion

1061
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:39,260
 or compatibility with playing the same guys, you know, week after week.

1062
01:10:39,260 --> 01:10:45,340
 If you play the same guys week after week, you've got either one or two things that will happen.

1063
01:10:45,540 --> 01:10:54,460
 Either they get better each week and they finally gel together as an offensive line or they keep making the same mistakes.

1064
01:10:54,460 --> 01:10:54,700
 Yeah.

1065
01:10:55,260 --> 01:11:05,160
 And so the coaches obviously have, they have leaned on the side of these guys are going to make the same mistakes

1066
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,960
 and we're going to put some new blood in and see how they do.

1067
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:16,620
 So it's, you know, I don't know, kind of a hodgepodge right now on the offensive line.

1068
01:11:16,620 --> 01:11:22,840
 And it's got to make Byron Brown feel a little vulnerable going back to the past when he has,

1069
01:11:22,980 --> 01:11:28,240
 he sees different guys in different positions and, you know, he can't really count on, you know,

1070
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:33,960
 any particular offensive line unit to get better as the year progresses.

1071
01:11:35,100 --> 01:11:39,840
 Charlie, I've always said, if you look at a game, everybody comes in, they start comparing stats,

1072
01:11:39,900 --> 01:11:45,380
 but I've always said turnovers, third down, what you do on offense, what you do on defense regarding third down.

1073
01:11:45,380 --> 01:11:49,780
 And the other part, you mentioned gaining only 60 something yards on offense.

1074
01:11:49,780 --> 01:11:55,920
 If you're giving up like Auburn did over 220 yards this past weekend, forget about some of these other stats.

1075
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,500
 That's all relative to the competition.

1076
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:03,220
 But would you agree that what teams do on third down and also if you're only,

1077
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:10,660
 if you're on the wrong side of 100 yards gaining yards on the ground and you're giving up over 200 yards on the other side,

1078
01:12:11,220 --> 01:12:13,860
 to me, that's where you got to start fixing things because, you know,

1079
01:12:13,860 --> 01:12:18,740
 a team that's got a decent line is just going to sit here and melt the clock and try to control it, running the ball.

1080
01:12:19,860 --> 01:12:20,720
 Yeah, that's true.

1081
01:12:20,940 --> 01:12:24,680
 I mean, you know, this year coming into the season,

1082
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:31,580
 I thought, Harold, that D.J. Durkin and the defense was going to be very competitive.

1083
01:12:32,260 --> 01:12:36,680
 I thought that they would be one of the units that could keep Auburn in the game.

1084
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:42,280
 I really felt like they would play good football, and at times they do.

1085
01:12:42,860 --> 01:12:49,100
 But they just, as a whole, like you said, on third down, they have not been very competitive.

1086
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:56,680
 They've given up, whereas third and long, they've given up, you know, they have a defensive holding or something.

1087
01:12:56,900 --> 01:13:04,280
 They give the offense a first down, and, you know, they just let teams keep drives alive.

1088
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:10,580
 And it's been a, you know, ongoing problem for weeks on the end now.

1089
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:18,420
 And if the defense doesn't improve, like I said, I mean, who's to say Arkansas won't come in and score 25 points?

1090
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:23,580
 And if they keep Auburn in the teens, you know, it's a big win for Arkansas.

1091
01:13:23,580 --> 01:13:32,940
 So, you know, if I was Arkansas looking at the game coming in, I'd be pumped up that this is a winnable game.

1092
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:42,880
 You know, so, you know, Auburn's got to really play good football, sound football, and get back to, you know, a physical, you know,

1093
01:13:42,980 --> 01:13:48,820
 when Coach Golesh was talking earlier in the year, he used to talk about the violence on defense

1094
01:13:48,820 --> 01:13:51,700
 and being violent, you know, on the offensive line.

1095
01:13:51,700 --> 01:13:57,100
 And I haven't seen that recently, you know, on the Auburn squad.

1096
01:13:57,440 --> 01:14:00,380
 That's what your teams were so good at, Charlie.

1097
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:07,400
 You played, you did fundamental football so well for your three years at Auburn.

1098
01:14:07,540 --> 01:14:10,100
 Charlie, this will get better, as Harold alluded to.

1099
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:12,760
 I think the schedule is a little more manageable.

1100
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:18,700
 If they win two out of three or three out of four, get a winning season and get to a minor bowl,

1101
01:14:18,700 --> 01:14:22,660
 I think that would perk a few people up for 2027.

1102
01:14:23,020 --> 01:14:24,100
 Charlie, have a great week.

1103
01:14:24,180 --> 01:14:26,780
 We always enjoy breaking down the games with you, buddy.

1104
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,140
 Let's do this again next Monday.

1105
01:14:30,140 --> 01:14:31,300
 We'll sure do it, guys.

1106
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:32,280
 Thank you so much.

1107
01:14:32,340 --> 01:14:32,900
 And we'll regal.

1108
01:14:33,300 --> 01:14:34,320
 Thank you so much.

1109
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:35,300
 Welcome to November.

1110
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,300
 Charlie Trotman, former Auburn quarterback.

1111
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:40,140
 Coming up, what's going on in Tennessee country?

1112
01:14:40,260 --> 01:14:41,600
 Vince Ferraro, the latest next.

1113
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:42,120
 Stay with us.

1114
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,180
 All right, grab some buds and listen up.

1115
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:50,120
 Grilling season's here.

1116
01:14:50,660 --> 01:14:52,740
 Now we find out what we're made of.

1117
01:14:53,140 --> 01:14:55,540
 Are we going to fold under pressure and overcook the burgers?

1118
01:14:55,940 --> 01:15:01,500
 Or are we going to nail the carne asada and the briskets and pack the coolers with ice-cold Budweiser and Bud Light?

1119
01:15:01,700 --> 01:15:08,220
 Because that's the difference between winning and losing, between flipping burgers and grilling like a pro.

1120
01:15:09,220 --> 01:15:11,820
 This summer, grill like a pro with Bud and Bud Light.

1121
01:15:12,060 --> 01:15:12,740
 Stock up today.

1122
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:15,720

1123
01:15:17,620 --> 01:15:21,720
 At Allstate, we know second chances are important to you, so they're important to us.

1124
01:15:22,140 --> 01:15:28,640
 That's why with Allstate's accident forgiveness, your rate won't go up just because of an accident, even if it was your fault.

1125
01:15:29,220 --> 01:15:35,980
 So while you might find yourself wondering, how long will this take or what will this cost, you won't have to question your rate after an accident.

1126
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:38,880
 If it's important to you, it's important to us.

1127
01:15:39,220 --> 01:15:40,560
 You're in good hands with Allstate.

1128
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:42,600
 Not available in every state.

1129
01:15:42,700 --> 01:15:43,820

 Allstate North American Insurance Company and affiliates Northbrook, Illinois.

1131
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,560
 Gifts mean more when they have the power to unwrap more of who you are.

1132
01:15:49,740 --> 01:15:52,200
 This Black Friday, give a gift that goes beyond the box.

1133
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:53,960
 The Dell XPS 13 laptop.

1134
01:15:54,260 --> 01:15:56,460
 It's the thinnest, lightest XPS laptop yet.

1135
01:15:56,540 --> 01:16:00,660
 With a long battery life, beautiful design, and powerful performance with Intel Core processors.

1136
01:16:00,900 --> 01:16:03,560
 The XPS laptop unlocks more of what you love.

1137
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:10,460
 Plus, at Dell.com, you'll find perks like Dell Rewards, fast-free shipping, and flexible financing, and big savings on monitors and accessories.

1138
01:16:10,780 --> 01:16:12,420
 Head to Dell.com slash deals.

1139
01:16:12,580 --> 01:16:14,200
 That's Dell.com slash deals.

1140

 The holidays are here.

1144
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:30,520
 Basketball season is heating up, and it's time to start checking off that gift list.

1145

01:16:52,860 --> 01:16:53,940
 Shop in store at Lids.

1155
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:56,100
 Hiring for a small business is hard.

1156
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,680
 You don't often have a team of people helping out.

1157
01:16:58,940 --> 01:17:01,120
 That's why LinkedIn built Hiring Pro.

1158
01:17:01,460 --> 01:17:05,960
 It's like having a true hiring partner, and you can chat with it just like you would a recruiter.

1159
01:17:06,260 --> 01:17:10,620

01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:26,420
 This is the story of The One.

1165
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:30,100
 As a procurement manager at an industrial manufacturing facility,

1166
01:17:30,380 --> 01:17:32,980
 she balances inventory levels with sourcing supplies.

1167
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,560
 Too much stock ties up the budget, too little slows down production.

1168
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:38,500
 So she counts on Grainger.

1169
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:44,080
 With $2 billion in on-hand inventory, Grainger helps deliver the product she needs fast,

1170
01:17:44,300 --> 01:17:46,860
 helping her stay stocked without overstocking.

1171
01:17:46,860 --> 01:17:50,260
 Call 1-800-GRAINGER, click grainger.com, or just stop by.

1172
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:53,420
 Grainger, for the ones who get it done.

1173
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,880
 Talking about life insurance isn't always easy.

1174
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:59,360
 My perspective changed when I became a mom,

1175
01:17:59,540 --> 01:18:05,620
 taking necessary steps to make sure my son and my husband are protected if anything ever happens to me.

1176

 From the University of Alabama, this is Crimson Tide Today.

1184
01:18:31,220 --> 01:18:36,260
 It's a daily update on Bama sports, and it's brought to you by APS, Alabama Professional Services.

1185
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:37,520
 Hello again, everybody.

1186
01:18:37,700 --> 01:18:38,520
 I'm Roger Hoover.

1187
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:41,220
 As we get ready for Alabama against LSU,

1188
01:18:41,220 --> 01:18:46,240
 here are some thoughts from former Alabama quarterback and CTSN analyst Tyler Watts.

1189
01:18:46,620 --> 01:18:49,860
 You have an entirely new roster, new coaching staff all coming together.

1190
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,620
 It's going to take them time to kind of figure things out,

1191
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:57,400
 and hopefully during this off week they'll forget everything and won't be prepared to play against us.

1192
01:18:57,620 --> 01:18:57,920
 You know what?

1193
01:18:57,960 --> 01:18:59,580
 More importantly, I just hope we're prepared.

1194
01:18:59,960 --> 01:19:04,360
 I just want to see us play, have all hands on decks, be as healthy as we possibly can,

1195
01:19:04,860 --> 01:19:07,120
 and go down there and play our best football.

1196
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:10,340
 That's a fun environment to play in as a football player.

1197
01:19:10,940 --> 01:19:11,820
 It's loud.

1198
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:12,900
 It's obnoxious.

1199
01:19:13,020 --> 01:19:16,500
 You've had the experience of going up to Neyland Stadium just a couple of weeks ago.

1200
01:19:16,740 --> 01:19:21,020
 There should be nothing that shocks you about the environment that you're walking into

1201
01:19:21,020 --> 01:19:24,060
 because you played in a similar situation.

1202
01:19:24,740 --> 01:19:29,160
 But, man, it is fun to shut that crowd up because they will leave.

1203
01:19:29,380 --> 01:19:33,140
 They are the most fickle fan base, and it is fun to empty that stadium out.

1204
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:37,640
 Protect your home from the ground up with Alabama Professional Services.

1205
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:41,840

01:19:42,100 --> 01:19:43,760
 waterproofing, or foundation repair,

1207
01:19:43,980 --> 01:19:48,100

1221
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:34,380
 Welcome back in.

1222
01:20:34,420 --> 01:20:40,520
 It is a pleasure for us to welcome in the R&R boy himself, rested and relaxed.

1223
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:41,980
 That's the V-man, Vince Rara.

1224
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:47,720
 He's on the radio at 99.1 The Sports Animal up in Knoxville, Tennessee with the off-week.

1225
01:20:47,940 --> 01:20:48,860
 Vince, welcome in.

1226
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,500
 Was it more of ESPN or Lifetime this weekend for you and Daphne?

1227
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:53,080
 How are you?

1228
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:58,500
 Well, he's still taping the TV show and hopefully will be with us.

1229
01:20:59,340 --> 01:21:02,220
 You don't have busy this Tennessee media all day.

1230
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:03,020
 Oh, my gosh.

1231
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,840
 And V-man, to be honest with you, it's almost a spoof.

1232
01:21:05,900 --> 01:21:08,760
 He's one of the hardest working men we know in East Tennessee.

1233
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:13,440
 But your thoughts about not only Tennessee, but where we are in the college football season.

1234
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,700
 And what did you glean from Alabama?

1235
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:19,660
 The key to moving up in the polls is not play.

1236
01:21:19,780 --> 01:21:23,760
 They were obviously kicking back and relaxing this past weekend.

1237
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:29,900
 They go from 10 to 9, the highest two-loss team, according to the traditional polls.

1238
01:21:30,460 --> 01:21:34,600
 What did you glean as far as what to read into it coming up tomorrow night with the first big poll?

1239
01:21:35,020 --> 01:21:38,900
 Well, going from 10 to 9, I don't read anything.

1240
01:21:39,440 --> 01:21:45,500
 Harold, you and I have been talking about the isolation committee and what they consider important

1241
01:21:45,500 --> 01:21:51,000
 and what really is important for, it seems like, decades, certainly for years.

1242
01:21:51,480 --> 01:21:57,780
 I want to see once again tomorrow, how is the strength of schedule, are you going to talk about it

1243
01:21:57,780 --> 01:22:03,580
 or are you going to actually look at that as one of your predictors with your analytics?

1244
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,620
 How serious are you going to be about this?

1245
01:22:07,140 --> 01:22:15,800
 And again, we knew with only one bye week, Harold, in adding another conference game,

1246
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:19,400
 that the SEC was going to cannibalize itself.

1247
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:21,760
 And that's what it's doing right now.

1248
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:27,560
 But I am curious to see what the strength of schedule metric is going to be used tomorrow night.

1249
01:22:27,780 --> 01:22:33,100
 You get to finish sometimes that the Big Ten basically threw the meat out there and put it in a cage

1250
01:22:33,100 --> 01:22:34,800
 and did a good job of camouflaging.

1251
01:22:34,900 --> 01:22:39,220
 And Greg Sank and the SEC walked right into it as far as going to this nine-game schedule.

1252
01:22:39,420 --> 01:22:41,460
 Now, they got some problems that are wrong with Ohio State.

1253
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:48,240
 But it's almost like they sat here and just baited just enough to get the SEC to do, as you mentioned,

1254
01:22:48,380 --> 01:22:49,340
 cannibalize each other.

1255
01:22:49,340 --> 01:22:54,160
 Because at the end of the day, the committee is going to come out and they're going to give me this typical BS stuff.

1256
01:22:54,220 --> 01:22:56,480
 They're going to wrap, you know what, in a sugar-coated pill.

1257
01:22:57,480 --> 01:23:00,520
 And as it's well-being documented, everybody thinks it's a 12-team feel.

1258
01:23:00,660 --> 01:23:02,280
 Yes, on paper it is.

1259
01:23:02,500 --> 01:23:06,440
 But one of those 12 goes to Notre Dame, talking about Mr. Prima Donna and Diva.

1260
01:23:06,660 --> 01:23:08,380
 And then two more go to the lower division.

1261
01:23:08,500 --> 01:23:13,160
 So, really and truly, the powerhouses are only playing for one of nine spots.

1262
01:23:13,660 --> 01:23:14,460
 And I will say this.

1263
01:23:14,480 --> 01:23:17,280
 Everybody focuses on that poll coming out tomorrow night.

1264
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,220
 Remember, years ago, Mississippi State came out.

1265
01:23:20,300 --> 01:23:21,440
 I think they were number one.

1266
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:26,240
 And then they faded quicker than an ice cream cone and a July 4th picnic after that.

1267
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:28,680
 The first poll really, it does matter.

1268
01:23:28,780 --> 01:23:29,480
 Don't get me wrong.

1269
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:31,140
 But how much does it matter?

1270
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:35,720
 Because Alabama is the master of their own destiny starting this weekend.

1271
01:23:35,940 --> 01:23:39,780
 Are there any words, if you're serious about getting into the postseason,

1272
01:23:39,860 --> 01:23:43,260
 that you can use to describe how big this game is for Alabama?

1273
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:46,480
 Of course, for LSU too, but for Alabama since we're on this side of the state line.

1274
01:23:46,620 --> 01:23:50,720
 Well, again, Harold, it's the same thing we've seen with the media for the last week.

1275
01:23:50,780 --> 01:23:52,100
 It's an elimination game.

1276
01:23:52,100 --> 01:23:54,560
 It's a CFP elimination game.

1277
01:23:55,500 --> 01:24:00,380
 Again, Kalen DeBoer coming out this morning and saying at least he thinks

1278
01:24:00,380 --> 01:24:04,580
 five starters are going to be coming back, which is huge.

1279
01:24:04,700 --> 01:24:09,180
 And, again, these are five key, key starters with this.

1280
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:11,280
 But, again, we'll see.

1281
01:24:11,420 --> 01:24:12,700
 You mentioned the Big Ten.

1282
01:24:13,460 --> 01:24:14,020
 Let's see.

1283
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,120
 Iowa lost to Minnesota last week.

1284
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:17,980
 Wisconsin blew out USC.

1285
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:21,760
 And then USC beats Ohio State.

1286
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:26,160
 And, quite frankly, the game shouldn't have been as close as it actually was.

1287
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:28,680
 It's going to be interesting to see.

1288
01:24:28,780 --> 01:24:31,820
 There's no question the SEC is the better league this year.

1289
01:24:32,620 --> 01:24:37,840
 Isn't it amazing how the USC's with an S are rocking and rolling this Monday?

1290
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:38,480
 This is on this Monday.

1291
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,940
 I'm talking USC, South Carolina, USC, Southern Cal.

1292
01:24:42,500 --> 01:24:47,120
 And the significance of that game, and for all the folks who want Kalen DeBoer to head out,

1293
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:50,920
 then I guess they were disappointed that Lincoln Riley won that ball game.

1294
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,840
 But I will say this, be careful what you wish for.

1295
01:24:54,900 --> 01:25:05,880
 If you want to move DeBoer out, tell me who you're going to move in and how you're going to keep the money in the drawer to put together a team after that as you write all the checks that would take.

1296
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:14,040
 But one of the things that happened when Lincoln Riley won this weekend, you've got to believe that put a wet towel to a lot of that talk of Lincoln Riley leaving.

1297
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:16,800
 And maybe you open the door for folks like DeBoer and others.

1298
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:22,040
 Well, again, we'll see because he's still got some key games left.

1299
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:23,660
 But USC looked much better.

1300
01:25:23,660 --> 01:25:33,920
 Listen, we saw what Wisconsin-Alabama week beat Wisconsin twice, in fact, by three or four touchdowns.

1301
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:37,340
 And then Wisconsin just completely shut down USC.

1302
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:40,580
 Now, obviously, they were going to play better in the Coliseum.

1303
01:25:41,180 --> 01:25:43,980
 And they had a monsoon during that game.

1304
01:25:44,060 --> 01:25:46,320
 The cameras really didn't show it very well.

1305
01:25:46,940 --> 01:25:50,100
 That was a big part of that.

1306
01:25:50,100 --> 01:25:55,860
 But, no, that was a big win for USC as far as giving Lincoln Riley a chance.

1307
01:25:56,440 --> 01:26:00,640
 And, again, we knew the FSU situation was coming.

1308
01:26:01,100 --> 01:26:02,860
 It was just a matter of time.

1309
01:26:03,300 --> 01:26:09,540
 Shane Beamer's done an exceptional job of basically keeping his job for another year.

1310
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,540
 Still a long way to go with this.

1311
01:26:11,540 --> 01:26:20,200
 But, no, this is what we talked about a month ago about the SEC having four top 25 matchups.

1312
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:24,120
 This Saturday may be as close or even better than that.

1313
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:28,340
 And across the country, we'll talk to Bruce Marshall about this tomorrow.

1314
01:26:28,460 --> 01:26:30,940
 But there are some incredible games on Saturday.

1315
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:35,340
 Well, and none bigger in our zip code than the Bama LSU game.

1316
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:42,740
 And in typical Lane fashion, does the boy – can you imagine being a brother or sister of Lane Kiffin growing up?

1317
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:43,820
 I don't know if he had any or not.

1318
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:51,740
 But every time that you went on a Halloween trick-or-treat and Larry got two lollipops and Lane only got one,

1319
01:26:51,820 --> 01:26:54,560
 the whining that must have been in the backseat of that car.

1320
01:26:54,900 --> 01:26:57,380
 And hopefully that day I said, don't make me stop this car.

1321
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:01,720
 I get the impression the car wouldn't stop much for Lane because he's still whining about that 230 kick.

1322
01:27:01,820 --> 01:27:05,720
 I mean, what does Lane expect as far as favors from the SEC office?

1323
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:07,340
 It's like, let me have my way.

1324
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,660
 And then when you push back, I'm going to sit here and whining again.

1325
01:27:12,620 --> 01:27:13,820
 Vegas is buying it.

1326
01:27:13,860 --> 01:27:19,420
 They're saying that this is going to go Lane's way by – it's increased from four now to whopping five and a half.

1327
01:27:19,420 --> 01:27:22,040
 I say whopping because this is Alabama and LSU.

1328
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:27,380
 Your thoughts, are you buying Vegas in that line that keeps heading north for Alabama?

1329
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:36,260
 Well, first of all, I understand why LSU is ahead because the LSU offense has come together in the last couple of games.

1330
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:40,140
 Sam Levitt had a tremendous game against Auburn.

1331
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:43,980
 And, of course, they had to buy a week along with Alabama.

1332
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:50,760
 And, look, I understand, once again, that LSU is favored as far as a lot of the metrics.

1333
01:27:50,940 --> 01:27:53,640
 They lead in this category and that category.

1334
01:27:54,260 --> 01:27:58,300
 Alabama, historically, has done incredibly well in Baton Rouge.

1335
01:27:59,180 --> 01:28:06,040
 From 69 to 90, they had a – in 1984, they had a 14-14 time with Ray Perkins.

1336
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:11,740
 But, no, this is a game – the health of this, Harold, is the most important thing.

1337
01:28:11,740 --> 01:28:22,760
 If Alabama gets these five starters back, and we'll talk to William Redfish Barger about that next, that's going to make a huge difference in Alabama's performance Saturday.

1338
01:28:23,100 --> 01:28:26,780
 Especially where the birds fly without feathers from the fans down there.

1339
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:28,140
 You've got to have some experience.

1340
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:30,960
 You've got to have some folks with maturity and getting those guys back.

1341
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:32,520
 It cannot hurt.

1342
01:28:32,620 --> 01:28:34,520
 What's it like to play there?

1343
01:28:34,620 --> 01:28:35,780
 And what about this weekend?

1344
01:28:35,900 --> 01:28:39,040
 Nobody can answer that fish better than the redfish.

1345
01:28:39,420 --> 01:28:40,380
 William Barger on deck.

 Got it.

1406
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:02,600
 Playing your jazz playlist.

1407
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:06,320
 No, more like jazz.

1408
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:08,660
 Okay, here's more pizzazz.

1409
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,760
 No, just calling jazz.

1410
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:14,200
 Calling jazz.

1411
01:32:14,440 --> 01:32:14,960
 Nope.

 William, welcome in.

1457
01:34:51,100 --> 01:34:52,200
 Happy Monday to you.

1458
01:34:52,260 --> 01:34:52,760
 How are you?

1459
01:34:54,060 --> 01:34:59,000
 Well, don't ask me that question next Monday, but I'm doing good right now.

1460
01:34:59,440 --> 01:35:01,020
 I'm writing it down even as we...

1461
01:35:01,020 --> 01:35:05,740
 Was your blood pressure better this past weekend than it has been in a while?

1462
01:35:05,740 --> 01:35:08,060
 And did the crappie hate to see you coming now, William?

1463
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:14,160
 I didn't get a chance to do any crappie chasing, but yeah, blood pressure is good.

1464
01:35:15,440 --> 01:35:17,720
 Obviously, William, you've been there and done that.

1465
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:22,340
 Brent and I have been down to a Saturday night in Baton Rouge.

1466
01:35:22,660 --> 01:35:23,620
 We know you have.

1467
01:35:23,700 --> 01:35:24,600
 We were joking earlier.

1468
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:28,100
 Is it true that that's the one place the birds fly without feathers?

1469
01:35:28,580 --> 01:35:32,200
 And I'm talking about people who probably haven't even been in preschool yet.

1470
01:35:32,300 --> 01:35:34,040
 The kids, they learn early down there.

1471
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:38,500
 First of all, William, what's it like playing in that environment as a player?

1472
01:35:39,900 --> 01:35:49,900
 I mean, you know, it's not as intense as, say, Knoxville, but it's still an extremely tough place to play.

1473
01:35:50,020 --> 01:35:51,740
 I think Alabama's...

1474
01:35:51,740 --> 01:36:03,740
 I know the LSU fans aren't happy about it because it cuts their time to drink, but Alabama's catching a break with it being a 2-30 game versus a 6-30 game.

1475
01:36:03,740 --> 01:36:06,280
 But, no, it's a tough place to play.

1476
01:36:07,740 --> 01:36:21,800
 You know, the stadium doesn't hold the noise in quite as well as Neyland Stadium does, but it's still a loud place to play, especially if, you know, LSU, you know, jumps out to a lead.

1477
01:36:22,140 --> 01:36:22,620
 Yeah.

1478
01:36:23,060 --> 01:36:32,500
 You know, I mean, I will say this, that they are one of the, you know, fastest fan bases to hit the gate.

1479
01:36:32,500 --> 01:36:34,400
 Things aren't going their way.

1480
01:36:35,460 --> 01:36:43,940
 So, you know, I would suggest for, you know, Caelan DeBoer in Alabama to try and make that happen if they can.

1481
01:36:44,060 --> 01:36:46,100
 It would make for an easier afternoon for them.

1482
01:36:46,540 --> 01:36:51,700
 William, let me ask you about the me and Dollar question about the health of this team.

1483
01:36:51,820 --> 01:36:53,200
 Certainly the bi-week help.

1484
01:36:53,320 --> 01:37:01,320
 Caelan DeBoer came out this morning, of course, was asked about the five or six starters as far as their health.

1485
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:03,560
 And he said, well, I'm much more optimistic.

1486
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:07,300
 They'll see once they get into practice again this week.

1487
01:37:07,420 --> 01:37:10,760
 Zulu, I think, is going to be late season.

1488
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:21,540
 But even the Yonsei Piers, Mance, Devin Tompkins, a lot of these players who have played, but they've been beat up and maybe slowed down a little bit.

1489
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:28,280
 But your impeccable sources, is this going to be a lot healthier team in Baton Rouge?

1490
01:37:29,620 --> 01:37:31,120
 You know, yes and no.

1491
01:37:31,660 --> 01:37:41,100
 You know, you might see some guys playing that you haven't seen in a couple of weeks, but, you know, you don't know if they're going to be on a pitch count.

1492
01:37:42,100 --> 01:37:50,640
 You know, you don't know the first time, you know, somebody puts their foot in the ground going to the right and they go back to the left.

1493
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:52,520
 Is there going to be a twinge?

1494
01:37:52,780 --> 01:37:55,140
 You know, is somebody going to get falling on?

1495
01:37:55,740 --> 01:38:01,280
 You know, it's, you know, the guys that, you know, I think everybody is thinking about, you know.

1496
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:08,080
 You know, we saw this with William Sanders early in the year, you know, trying to play through injuries.

1497
01:38:08,980 --> 01:38:16,580
 You know, they're not going to be 100%, let's just be honest, despite what you may see or hear on the TV broadcast.

1498
01:38:16,580 --> 01:38:23,280
 So, you know, there's a pain tolerance there that goes, you know, varies from player to player.

1499
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:40,680
 You know, it's easier, in my opinion, for, you know, Ryan Delgati to play center with a bum knee than it is Ryan Williams, you know, to do the things that he's asked to do at the wide receiver spot.

1500
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,140
 So, especially when it's a surgically repaired knee.

1501
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:45,200
 So, you know, we just don't know.

1502
01:38:45,320 --> 01:38:49,000
 I mean, you know, Terrence Green is, you know, playing through some injuries.

1503
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:51,140
 So, you know, we just don't know.

1504
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:55,300
 You know, I do expect to see all the names that we just mentioned.

1505
01:38:56,180 --> 01:38:59,480
 But to what extent, you know, we don't know yet.

1506
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:04,600
 William, obviously certain things are core to answer the question.

1507
01:39:04,700 --> 01:39:07,660
 Number one, let's face it, the hub of the wheel is always going to be the quarterback.

1508
01:39:07,900 --> 01:39:12,720
 We've seen this kid look like Superman, also look like Gene.

1509
01:39:12,980 --> 01:39:16,140
 Your thoughts about now it's back on the road.

1510
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:17,380
 We saw what happened in Kentucky.

1511
01:39:17,380 --> 01:39:18,860
 We saw what happened in Tennessee.

1512
01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:20,620
 Let's start with that.

1513
01:39:20,620 --> 01:39:32,580
 How much has Russell learned about playing in this environment and setting the tone as early as possible to take the invaluable lessons from those games and apply it to this one?

1514
01:39:33,780 --> 01:39:48,380
 Well, you know, I think obviously the offensive coordinator putting not only Keelan Russell, but also the whole offense in a situation to come out of the gate and get off to a productive start, I think is critical.

1515
01:39:48,740 --> 01:39:51,940
 But there again, I mean, you know, the recipe is out.

1516
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:58,680
 You know, you mentioned the road games, but we also saw it through the first three quarters at home against Texas A&M.

1517
01:39:58,680 --> 01:39:59,960
 Yes, fair enough.

1518
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:00,240
 Yes.

1519
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:07,600
 So, you know, I think basically, and this applies to both sides of the ball, to both coordinators.

1520
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:08,160
 Thank you.

1521
01:40:08,300 --> 01:40:15,480
 So, you know, the recipe is out on how to do things well or prevent the other team from doing well.

1522
01:40:17,060 --> 01:40:18,820
 What's your counterpunch going to be?

1523
01:40:18,940 --> 01:40:22,900
 What's the adjustments that need to be made?

1524
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:42,820
 You know, you saw Ryan Grubb make some adjustments in the fourth quarter against Texas A&M, the five to seven step drops where Keelan Russell was asked to sit in the pocket for five seconds to wait for lengthy down the field pass patterns to open up when out the window.

1525
01:40:42,820 --> 01:40:51,980
 And you started seeing more quick hitting, you know, one to two read pass patterns where he got that talented tight end room involved in things.

1526
01:40:51,980 --> 01:40:54,200
 And they, you know, they've had some success.

1527
01:40:54,200 --> 01:41:12,260
 I mean, look, man, I'm not Vince Lombardi, but I've seen enough to know that Marshall Pritchett's a weapon and I would do whatever I had to do as a play caller to get him more looks and more touches so he can continue to be a weapon.

1528
01:41:12,820 --> 01:41:21,200
 You know, Caleb Edwards probably isn't as much of a weapon, but he's still, you know, I think getting the tight ends involved early.

1529
01:41:21,740 --> 01:41:28,900
 I mean, has it been the Missouri game since last year that we saw a concerted effort to get the running backs involved in the passing game?

1530
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:29,960
 That's correct.

1531
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:40,180
 You know, that may be, you know, and, you know, bless his heart, I think that's when Kevin Riley got his jaw broken too, so that probably is not a good one to bring up.

1532
01:41:40,180 --> 01:41:48,920
 But, you know, there was more of an effort, in my opinion, to get the running backs involved in the passing game last year.

1533
01:41:49,420 --> 01:41:53,180
 And, you know, Daniel Hill is a good receiver out of the backfield.

1534
01:41:53,980 --> 01:41:57,520
 You know, Treshawn Brown has shown that he's got the ability to be that guy.

1535
01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:10,920
 So, you know, you don't always have to make the wide receivers the most important in the passing game, especially if the opposing defense is taking measures to make sure that they're not.

1536
01:42:11,340 --> 01:42:23,240
 So, you know, and I played on several teams at the high school and the college level where the tight ends and the running backs were the leading receivers in quite a few football games.

1537
01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:27,920
 So, this isn't, you know, reinventing football we're talking about here.

1538
01:42:28,020 --> 01:42:30,380
 It's called taking what the defense gives you sometimes.

1539
01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:31,480
 Common sense.

1540
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:32,520
 Let me ask you this, Redfish.

1541
01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:33,820
 Let's go to the other side of the game.

1542
01:42:33,860 --> 01:42:37,840
 It's almost like you described Lane Kiffin's game plan to the hilt.

1543
01:42:38,220 --> 01:42:46,800
 He does not, if I'm wrong, he loves to control the game with four or five-yard pickups with a passing game on first down.

1544
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:55,460
 Will Alabama's defense learn that you can't sit here and give these guys, with Lane Kiffin calling shots, that much soft coverage?

1545
01:42:55,780 --> 01:42:59,800
 What will Alabama's defense do to adjust to this offense?

1546
01:43:01,060 --> 01:43:09,940
 Well, I mean, I think the first thing they need to do, which should be the, you know, the priority in every game, is to focus on stopping the run.

1547
01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:14,840
 That's really what Lane Kiffin's offense flourishes on.

1548
01:43:15,080 --> 01:43:17,720
 Yeah, he's going to do some things to loosen you up.

1549
01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:25,520
 And you also have to account for, you know, they'll probably talk about it ad nauseum in the pregame commentary.

1550
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:29,880
 But, you know, Sam Leavitt has supposedly been battling a gimpy hamstring.

1551
01:43:30,060 --> 01:43:32,500
 But it doesn't look too gimpy to me against Auburn a couple of weeks.

1552
01:43:32,500 --> 01:43:32,660
 No.

1553
01:43:32,940 --> 01:43:33,220
 Nah.

1554
01:43:33,440 --> 01:43:36,620
 So, you know, you do have to account for his legs.

1555
01:43:37,620 --> 01:43:45,120
 You know, now he is prone to kind of, you know, the Lenore Sellers, Santa Claus is coming to town gifts.

1556
01:43:46,380 --> 01:43:49,440
 He will turn the ball over and make some bad decisions.

1557
01:43:49,440 --> 01:43:55,100
 But, you know, I think you have to account for Sam Leavitt in that running game as well.

1558
01:43:55,260 --> 01:44:04,400
 And also, it could possibly, you may want to alter how you choose to rush the passer, you know, against a quarterback with his ability.

1559
01:44:04,580 --> 01:44:08,220
 But, you know, they're going to take deep shots down the field.

1560
01:44:09,480 --> 01:44:14,000
 You know, we've all seen Lane Kiffin's offense at multiple stops now.

1561
01:44:14,100 --> 01:44:16,160
 So, you know, we know what to expect.

1562
01:44:16,340 --> 01:44:21,460
 But, you know, they've got a pretty talented unit, got some tough, hard-nosed running backs.

1563
01:44:22,380 --> 01:44:25,960
 You know, they spread the ball around in the passing game.

1564
01:44:26,140 --> 01:44:31,940
 And there again, you know, that, you know, it's the same way for Alabama as well.

1565
01:44:32,040 --> 01:44:34,920
 I mean, Keelan Russell's obviously a threat to run the football too.

1566
01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:43,040
 But, you know, Leavitt, I think, is a little bit quicker to pull that trigger than Keelan is at times.

1567
01:44:43,860 --> 01:44:54,700
 Well, the secondary, and we've talked about this, certainly the secondary, in light of the criticism, has been merited.

1568
01:44:54,920 --> 01:45:05,480
 But do you see, maybe by divine intervention, the more man coverage, stop this seven-yard cushion on the receivers.

1569
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,780
 Carmelo O'Neal played a good bit at Texas A&M.

1570
01:45:08,860 --> 01:45:11,740
 Ivan Taylor seems to be getting a little more reps.

1571
01:45:11,740 --> 01:45:14,800
 What's your thoughts on the secondary against LSU?

1572
01:45:16,300 --> 01:45:27,800
 You know, I would probably have a better feeling about this game if I thought we were going to see more of Carmelo and more of Ivan Taylor and its safety.

1573
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:35,720
 You know, we don't have to go into the Webster's dictionary for the definition of insanity.

1574
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:40,060
 We've kind of seen it play out, you know, over half of the season now.

1575
01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:52,660
 So, you know, I certainly think the play or lack thereof in the back end of Alabama's defense, you know, warrants some different looks from some different players back there.

1576
01:45:53,660 --> 01:46:05,920
 So, William, if you put all the stuff in the blender and you come out with the result, what's going to happen Saturday afternoon for the Whitey Lane Kiffin in LSU and Alabama?

1577
01:46:07,180 --> 01:46:22,240
 Well, you know, I probably could give you a more concise, clear answer if I knew, you know, and have some guarantees on the health of all those people that we mentioned.

1578
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:40,680
 I mean, with there being question marks there, you know, and especially with, you know, having the, you know, even the Georgia game, you know, I think that's kind of where the recipe, you know, was mastered, so to speak.

1579
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:49,420
 You know, as far as, you know, how to cause, you know, that Alabama offense some problems, you know, we've seen that.

1580
01:46:49,540 --> 01:46:54,900
 They're going to keep doing it until Brian Grubb makes them not do it anymore.

1581
01:46:54,900 --> 01:46:57,780
 So, you know, man, I don't have a good feeling about it.

1582
01:46:58,260 --> 01:47:16,020
 You know, even if Alabama was totally healthy, you know, I think just, you know, more recent game exposure, and I get it, you know, and I don't know if Texas A&M is any better than the Auburn team that LSU whacked at home two weeks ago.

1583
01:47:16,020 --> 01:47:31,500
 But, you know, just based on some of the recent stuff that I've seen out of both teams, man, I mean, take my Bammer-Homer cap off and, you know, just based on what my eyes have seen, I've got to give LSU the, you know, they're the home team.

1584
01:47:32,220 --> 01:47:36,180
 You know, I've got to give them a slight advantage in this game, and hopefully I'm wrong.

1585
01:47:36,280 --> 01:47:42,700
 Hopefully next Monday, you know, y'all FedEx me some sauteed crow to eat while I talk to you.

1586
01:47:42,740 --> 01:47:43,720
 I'll be glad to do it.

1587
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:50,380
 But, William, we've talked, obviously, about the good and the bad for offense and defense.

1588
01:47:51,240 --> 01:48:02,580
 I know Conrad Holt, he missed two field goals against Texas A&M, but have special teams been, when you look at the overall of the season, the most consistent unit on the team?

1589
01:48:03,980 --> 01:48:05,340
 Yeah, I'd say that's fair.

1590
01:48:06,460 --> 01:48:09,440
 You know, there's been some good kickoff returns.

1591
01:48:09,780 --> 01:48:13,760
 There's been some, you know, some solid punt returns at times.

1592
01:48:13,980 --> 01:48:19,800
 There hasn't really been major busts out of the, you know, the coverage teams.

1593
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:31,780
 And, you know, take Talti's performance against A&M out of the equation, and, you know, both he and the punter, I think, have exceeded expectations for this season.

1594
01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:33,700
 Oh, I couldn't agree with you more.

1595
01:48:33,700 --> 01:48:39,820
 Now, has this been a much better Monday than the one you had three weeks ago, that Monday from h***?

1596
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:41,780
 Has this been a pretty good Monday for you?

1597
01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:49,160
 Man, honestly, I think the Monday from h*** was actually a week or two before the Tennessee game.

1598
01:48:49,580 --> 01:48:50,460
 It was.

1599
01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:55,600
 Yeah, November is off to a much better start than October.

1600
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:56,580
 Let's just say that.

1601
01:48:57,100 --> 01:48:59,120
 You just broke your cardiologist's heart.

1602
01:48:59,580 --> 01:49:01,100
 They want some business down there.

1603
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:02,600
 William, it's always good to hook up with you.

1604
01:49:02,620 --> 01:49:07,100
 Listen, man, thank you so much, and have as good a week as you possibly can, okay?

1605
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:08,680
 Thanks, guys.

1606
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:09,120
 Y'all too.

1607
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:09,860
 Thank you, buddy.

1608
01:49:10,100 --> 01:49:12,760
 The Redfish, William Barger, looking at with us.

1609
01:49:12,820 --> 01:49:16,760
 B.B., I'll tell you what, believe it or not, college basketball gets rolling in earnest tonight.

1610
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:17,560
 We mentioned UNA.

1611
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,400
 They got the late date out at UC Davis.

1612
01:49:20,460 --> 01:49:21,560
 That's a 9 o'clock till.

1613
01:49:21,600 --> 01:49:22,860
 But how about this for a matchup?

1614
01:49:23,080 --> 01:49:25,720
 The number one team in the country, and I don't think anybody's going to disagree,

1615
01:49:25,860 --> 01:49:27,320
 it's in the Battle of the Sunshine State.

1616
01:49:27,800 --> 01:49:28,820
 They're taking on Miami.

1617
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:29,940
 That's number 14.

1618
01:49:30,060 --> 01:49:32,220
 What a way to open it up in the state.

1619
01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:34,160
 Number one versus number 14.

1620
01:49:34,160 --> 01:49:36,720
 Pretty good way to open the lid up in the college basketball season.

1621
01:49:36,820 --> 01:49:37,840
 It really is.

1622
01:49:37,900 --> 01:49:41,280
 And then Alabama gets started with Sam Houston tomorrow night.

1623
01:49:41,420 --> 01:49:43,660
 We'll talk about that game a little bit more.

1624
01:49:43,820 --> 01:49:48,640
 UNA football night at Lost Pizza tonight, and then Monday night football,

1625
01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:53,240
 and then a bunch of other good stuff as we go throughout the week.

1626
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:55,940
 Other than that, absolutely nothing going on.

1627
01:49:55,980 --> 01:49:57,900
 But whatever it is, we've got you covered right here.

1628
01:49:58,000 --> 01:49:59,160
 That's going to take care of business for now.

1629
01:49:59,260 --> 01:50:01,880
 On behalf of B.B., Greg, James Blair, the entire crew here,

1630
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:04,160
 Harold Buck, thank you so much for your time today.

1631
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:06,560
 Let's do it again tomorrow, noon to 2 for the Boom Hall Bunk Show,

1632
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:09,000
 back here on Sports Radio 93.9 The Score.

1633
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:09,500
 Thank you.
