What's going on? Everyone? Welcome man, Welcome, and welcome in to a little snaps after dark? What the funk was that played? Call God? Dude? What shout out of your head? Like? We just finished watching the Texana Alabama game? I mean Aaron Murray Jimbo had Salvation staring him in the face. Despite all this ship he has had to eat this year, despite all the bad his golden ticket to happiness was right there in front of him. It was floating in front of him. All he had to do was grab it. Aaron, You're a quarterback an sec record holding quarterback diminsion diminishing amount of records which will get to but Ante holding quarterback? How in the world what was that like? Like, what was that call? I don't understand. Help help me understand. I think the call. I mean, first off to you, saving gave you a someone of a gift. He called the time out, so you had an opportunity to to regroup, figure out what is my best play? What am I going to call as a mastermind offensive guy that was brought in and give it all this need to be this this this guy that's gonna take out A and M to the next level, especially on offense. And we've we've talked about the struggles outside of the the football and your play to beat Bama, the number one team in the country, was a essentially a one on one hitch comebackground on the outside. So yes, your best receiver, I get it. You want to get Stewart the football, but get creative, man, do some different options. You're just saying, hey man, it's one on one and this guy's is gonna have to make a play and that's it. That's all, that's all we're gonna give you. And I just I hate it man, of all of him running through his playbook and trying to figure out what the hell he's gonna call that's the best you got. It ain't good enough. And now his record is worse than Kevin someone through his first five years as the A and M coach, and kind of deserves that. After that play call, I mean, just absolutely brutal, because this is a game where I had already kind of started to write the store worry and about the third quarter, right, I'm like, you know, for what it's worth, A and M acquitted themselves pretty well, right, but in the end, like Bryce Young or no, Bruce Young, Alabama is just too strong. But the problem is this Alabama team is a bit more flawed in a few more ways than I have maybe given credit for. And I think it's more obvious now than ever that Bryce Young really masks a lot of these flaws and and and and they open the door for you. The miss field goals, some characteristic mistakes, and then obviously I'm Bryce Young, Like in my head, I never really thought that A and M had a chance of winning this game until you look up and surn like, oh wait, no, they they do. And then all of a sudden you look at it. There in the two yard line, one play to win at Jimbo everything you've been looking for. Everything you need to quiet all the noise to make the fan base happy to give you that extra room. It's all six ft away, six ft away, and you think, way hitch on the outside with a guy who's not that accurate, Like it's just it's um. I will say one thing, though, I will say one thing you you bring up. You know, how good is Alabama? And and we kind of questioned early on this season and they've they've improved, and you can kind of say that, Okay, they even proved because their schedule's got a little bit easier. But if Bryce is playing quarterback tonight, this game is not even close. Like he ran the ball great, you know at times he was he was electric rowing the football, but three turnovers, you know, the two fumbles that turned into fourteen points for A and M the interception there, Um McClelland, who has played had a great season, had the fumbles. Well to like, those mistakes don't happen if you're you're returning Heisman quarterback is is playing in this football I think Alabama was clearly the better football team. Uh And if he's playing right now, I think they I think they probably would have covered that spread, that half points spread. I think they covered it those turnovers or what kept A and M alive and um. But so, I mean, we're talking about Jimbo having the opportunity to to to get some of this heat off his back. You know, from from the fine ball caller that we talked about this week, who was who said what he said? Two people obviously genuinely upset that he's getting paid ninety million dollars to suck at offense and to and to essentially not be getting any better with all the talent that he's a mass, not just his past year in the recruiting class, but for the past few years, and and and where is all that talent? Why is it not showing up on the football field, especially on the offensive side, and and kind of the area of his expertise. So this was his opportunity to shut up a lot of critics backed back years. Hey man, we may not be the team that's gonna be in the playoffs, but damn at least we're being Nick Saban in Alabama. And you can you you you can make a lot of people happy in the sec by at least beating Nick Saban. And now all of a sudden, you look at them drop into two what three and three? And and I don't know, man, this is this is this There's gonna be some some even angrier phone callers on on fine Ball this week. It's a bit of an odd situation here, right, because I agree with you, like it's it's odd, like like what what are your what are the actual takeaways from this game? And why I say it's oddest because I don't know, like you, Aaron, that I have any actual Alabama takeaways. Um, yes, like I said, I think look when you're when your kickers missing big field goals like that, Uh, that is an element that can carry forward to the biggest games of the season when you're allowing an awful offense to have as much success in a big time situation as they at em died getting down to the two yard line. Uh, that is maybe something that could carry forward for Alband. But the bottom line is you can't really judge Mama too much of this game. Prox tell you what you said. You are a night and day different team when you do not have your Heisman Trophy winning quarterback. And guess what that applies to any team that is not unique to Alabama. Like how many people could lose uh, their number one all star, heismand quarterback and still be good. So like, if I'm Obama fan, be happy that you got out of here. Now. We're gonna talk a ton of Bama Tennessee coming up this week because it's gonna be absolutely fucking fantactic, and I'm excited to talk Tennessee. But if I'm a bad fan, be happy got out here with a win because you are much better than you looked tonight. And it's weird because it should almost be a moral victory for A and M, and it would be had they performed the rest of the season, But now, especially with how it ended, it's just the latest disappointment in a strings and a string of disappointments. Well, I think the big issue now with with and and going back to Bama real quick is the fact that that there are two close games this year, the ones that they could have lost, you know, Verse Texas. What happened, Man, they got uh, they got beat up a little bit when it came to the passing game, especial you when Quinn Years was in there, like they were throwing the ball deep and all of a sudden versus A and M tonight, you have two fifty three passing yards to an offense that has had no success throwing the football, a team that has essentially one receiver, that's a freshman Evan Stewart, a quarterback with some of the worst mechanics I've ever seen that that can barely throw football. I mean it's it's it's gone awful and now all of a sudden, we turn around after this game tonight and face one of the best passing attacks in the country in Tennessee next weekend. I'm not saying upset T Bob, but I mean, let's there's some there's some glaring issues with Alabama right now. One they can't stop the past two. I still question the receivers. They made some plays tonight, um throughout the game, and you saw some speed, you saw some explosion, but it's still and it's it's still a good offense, not an elite offense. And is this team and a playoff caliberlar team? I still think it is like that. D Lines asked that front seven's nasty, Bryce Young's nassy. Jamir Gibbs is a freaking stud like they have the pieces to make it to a natty, but there's also some weaknesses there where I would not be surprised if they drop a game this season. Brum put the tweet back up there, Dude, I know in your producer heart that there is nothing that you love more than putting a Johnny Mantel tweet on this. Let's go Johnny football chicken. In every single practice you have a goal line period and practice those type of situations. That's a joke of an ending for the Aggies and uh, well yeah, I mean I think Johnny kind of speaks for everybody. Okay, So okay again, to me, the story of this game is it was supposed to be a funeral texts A and M jumped out of the casket said surprised motherfucker and made it into a street fight. But in the end, Bama escapes and I'm not sure that this game will matter at the end of the year to anything. Uh as Um, Well, again with with with with bright show your two different teams. But but Bama does feel fallible. Okay against the best teams. Georgia has looked fallible this season. Ohio State continues to just sail through the Big Ten like they do every year. It's just fucking so smooth and so easy, and nobody's any good or can keep up with them. Do we see a change on Monday? Aaron is Ohio State gonna be number one in the next a P Top twenty five? Well, I told you last week I thought I thought Ohio State should be number one and in the latest eight people. Uh and and listen, they hadn't really been challenged this year in Michigan State is horrendous. You know, Wisconsin just fired their coach last week. Uh. Notre Dame is is average football team this year? Tod Notre Dame actually win today? Um, I think either way if you saw my reaction a little bit ago, f SU was down to driving in field goal range in Georgie and Travis do an awful pick in c State escapes nineteen seventeen winners over the Seminoles. So so Notre Dame. Notre Dame has won three in a row, which which makes that one for Ohio State looked better form for week one, but you know my big tests. You know, I brought it up this past week on snaps like hey, they play at Penn State on the twenty nine, Like that's gonna be a hell of a test. But yeah, as of right now, when you look at Ohio State and C. J. Stroud and that defense, and knowing that like Jackson Smith and Jigba has has has really not played this entire season and they've looked the part, then yeah, and then and you can say Georgia also, and and listen, I'm gonna dog at my dogs a little bit here, Georgia to like Georgia for the past three weeks, has played scrubs and the in games they should have dominated. Yeah, they dominate today, but it really wasn't in It didn't feel like a domination for the majority of the game. Ohio States doing what they need to do against lesser opponents, and they look the part of the number one team. So kind of how I would view it right now is I would put Ohio State at one. I'd still put Alabama to knowing that this game probably would have been a lot different had Bryce Young been the starting quarterback. And then I put Georgia at three. Clempson uh there at four right behind them. Okay, so look, let's let's move on from Alabama and m um again, I could not find a win on the board today. Kansas almost gets had done losing jan dam end up one and zero, two and one on best bets overall awful. Of course, I took a little money line play live on A and M, thinking let's just let's just chase the loss, let's get a little back today. And because everything went wrong today, it's still went wrong. One thing, Aaron, Uh, that uh we maybe did get right is we told you that if Quinn yours played, uh, we were gonna play Texas. Now that said I don't know exactly that I expected it to be forty nine to zero. And because this is how we approach these conversations are in this huge game for both of these teams, they prepared to leave the friendly climbs a big twelve move into the SEC. Did this game Texas for nine Oklahoma zero? Did this say more about the long Horns and more about the Sooners? To you? I told you, man, you didn't believe me, But I told you, if there's a team that I believe in, it's it's Texas going forward. And you've got all these incredible stats about Oklahoma and they're Highestman Trophy winners and their conference champions and this and the other I don't care. The brand of Texas is bigger than the brand of Oklahoma, and and the way they're recruiting right now, and the money that's gonna be coming in through n I L is just bigger. It's better, and they're gonna be been in a position to to to be more I would say more successful earlier on when they do make the jump into the SEC. And today was a huge step. I mean, the name of the game's recruiting and when you can win your biggest rivalry the way you want today, that is a huge boost for Sark and that football team who's already on fire right now after getting the you know, the manning a couple of months ago. So um, I say, I think this says a lot about both things. I think it says a lot about Texas and Quinn yours in the direction of this football team, the excitement around the offense, and also once again goes to the issues that Oklahoma has. They they they're they're lacking on offense and defensively. We thought that with this new coaching staff that you would see much better improvement, especially as the season progresses and they're getting worse on defense, and and then that's scary man, like you're going in the completely wrong direction. That was an embarrassing loss. I know you didn't have your starting quarterback. Uh, Davis looked bad last week when he came in. He looked even worse today when he came in there. So I'm worried about Oklahoma. But Texas right now, we talked about a team that's playing with some confidence with quinnin back at quarterback. This is a team that that may be the best team in the Big Wealth. Look okay, okay, So that's funny that you said that, right, because that's kind of where I ended up on the Texas side of the equation here, Like what a statement, Like all of a sudden, Uh, they feel like a team in a big twelve that still doesn't have a superpower. Though I love how Oklahoma handled Texas Tech today, it's kind of ended up about what we expected there, an offensive shootout where in the end Oklahoma States is a bit tighter the Tech is. But like with Quinn yours at quarterback, I'm not going to the same way that I'm gonna give Obama a passis they don't have Bryce Young, right, I'm going to give Texas a bit of a pastor that Texas Tech loss with no Quinn yours, because Quinn yours makes all the difference here, Aaron, and he is a guy who maybe the best thing you could say about him and why I felt so confident in him coming into this game, is that he loves the big stage. Look at what he how he came out in that Alabama game, so comfortable, throwing it down the field, aggressive, taking shots. Here he is State Fair, packed house, the biggest game on the schedule each season, and he just looked like it was easy. Dude, Like he looks pretty unflappable. And it's kind of interesting. When I asked L s U coaches all summer long, who's gonna be the l s U quarterback? Right, Who's gonna be the luard? The thing they constantly said was like, Okay, whoever can handle the pressure of being the l s U quarterback, Well, Quinn yours can handle the pressure of being the Texas quarterback. And so yeah, Texas now um feels fully back alive in the big twelve rads. So funny how quickly things can change in college football. But really, and to me, the more interesting thing is Oklahoma It's three laws for Oklahoma in a row. They are not a good football team. You get beat by Kansas State, who's in a dogfight with Iova State. I'm not ture when they give you lose mp State, you lose to TCU, lose forty nine to zero to Texas, and talk about the best team in the Big twelve. Aaron, is Oklahoma the worst team in the Big twe And like you, you you may be laughing, but like, actually fucking think about it. If you're in the chat and you're laughing right now, okay, sure, because right now they're owing three. They're literally at the bottom of the standings. And and you can say, well, they played the best teams and then fine, fine, but who would you say is one worse than O you right now, I'll give you West Virginia, But but I mean TCU, Oakama State, Kansas State, Kansas, Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech. All of these teams are better Iowa State in Western maybe. And to me, Aaron with that really drives home. If you're an Oklahoma Sooner fan and you haven't experienced a lot of pain your entire life, all you've done is one like, yeah, you've lost big games where you won considently. How what an awful time to be a NOU fan. Think about it. You had a transcendent coach that you were dating, You were in love with him. He left you by choice, You did not force himount he did not retire because of age. He left you for the hotter, younger, more wealthy girl. And then you try to convince yourself that you were better off without him, right, you gotta you. You got a new man. And look, he may not be as hot or as sexy as the old guy, but you know what he is. He's solid. He's a good guy. He's a nice guy. And guess what you told yourself, Oh, my old BF, his success, well, that was just a byproduct of me, Right, that was a byproduct of dating somebody as wonderful as me. This new guy is gonna be even better. Only now none of those lies that you told yourself have come to pass. Unfortunately, your old BF is more successful than ever. He's out here getting all the tabloids and the headlines and everybody talking about what a hot couple they are and just loving him and all their success. And you with your new nice guy. Yeah, great, he's nice, he's solid, but he's boring and he sucks in bed and guess what, you're locked up with him for a while. Okay, that's why you gotta be careful when rebounding from a from a long term relationship. And if your no, you fair, now you've got to be feeling like absolute shit and I feel badly for you. I get and you say, te bop, you got your ask cube by Tennessee today. Fair, We're about to talk about that. But just a brutal day to be a sooner, dude. Now. It's especially because usc USC is six and o right now. Kyle Williams had at at a good day at the park. Um, we'll see if they're the receiver who is out or not going forward. But it's it's it's mm hmm. It's not the year to not to be good either because the problem is your conference is really damn good. So you look at their schedule going forward right now, and yeah, that I think that's the hard part is that you're seeing success. It's not like there's one or two teams like yeah, Oklahoma State's playing well or TCUs playing were like no, everyone in the Big twelve is playing well right now besides you and ins Virginia and I guess Iowa State, who had a hell of a game still lost tonight to Kansas State, but you know, lost ten to nine. Like you look at their schedule going forward, like you know, Kansas had a great game today and and we'll see the health of their quarterback going forward. But you know that's a game that right now, I would not be surprised if Kansas favorite. So you're this big bag at Oklahoma going into next week's game against Kansas maybe as the underdog. I don't know what the line is right now or not, but there's a good chance that's gonna be either close one or you may be a dog in that one. I would think you're gonna be a dog at Ohiowa State. That's a tough place to play. Baylor is a better football team, Oklahoma State's a better football team. And shoot Texas Tech today, you know they played Oklahoma stayed extremely hard with their third string quarterback for goodness sakes. Um So, man, you see maybe two wins on the schedule that are two games where you're not gonna be favored, Like this was not the year to suck if you're Oklahoma, because you're falling away behind in the Big twelve right now, oh man? And again it just dude, you never look, let's be hot. Nobody ever wants their ex to have success, maybe unless you're an adult and you left him like just a super positive note. But it was a toxic ending. And Oklahoma fans told themselves a lot of lies during the off season, and uh, confronting those lies is always brutal. And look, I should know. I tell myself lies about also every single week now. Now. To be fair, this game, Aaron, I do not think even though FanDuel keeps making I know why Vanduel does it. They keep wanting me to do these same game L s U parlays because they know I can't put out a same game parlay that will ship on L s U. Like I cannot do it my own, like following will eat me alive. I just can't do it right. So I have to keep put out these sunshine Bubby parlays. And they know that any sucker who follows me, it's just money in their pockets. Okay, so they keep doing this to me, But I don't feel like I ever fully but leaved in L s U this week, Like I I think the only thing that I was kind of maybe taking some hard in is that Vegas had the line being so close. So even though I may not have thought like I consistently chose Tennessee to win the game, but I did not expect Tennessee to win forty to thirteen. And I want to be clear by this, I do not want to approach this being an egocentric L s U fan, because to me, this game is more about Tennessee and what they did than what L s U didn't do. Like, the story of this game should be a top ten Tennessee team going into a hostile environment and absolutely dominating every single aspect of the game the trenches, skill positions, offense, defense, special teams, you name it. Tennessee dominant and they deserve their loyals laurels. And what's crazy is I mean, I was so scared of Hinting Hooker coming in, I'm even more scared of Hinting Hooker coming out because every single mistake Aaron that L s U made today was direct result of the omnipresent pressure that Hindon Hooker in this Tennessee offense puts on you. Right, Why didn't it else you defer to the second half, which is so fucking stupid. I have no idea. Why didn't they do it because they're afraid of Tennessee's offense. Why did they go for it on fourth down three times in the first half and bad questionable positions because they were scared of the Tennessee offense. Why did else you only have fifty five rush shards because Tennessee's got a really good rush deefits and they were definitely trying to keep pace through throwing the ball with Tennessee's offense. And it's crazy because like you're gonna look at hook if you didn't watch this LGI game, you're gonna look at hook your stats and you're saying, oh, seventeen seven to thirty nine, two touchdowns in carry's fifty nine yards, solid game, not great, But what you're missing there is his control and influence on a game is it's it's gravitational. He is the son and every other player on the field is rotating around him when he is out there. And so like, that's why they ran for two hundred sixty three yards, okay on a team that's been pretty good against the run, because hend and Hooker, because the threat the amount of defensive resources committed to stopping him, and so they went three of three on fourth down where once him scrambling wants to shovel pass once a short run. Like he just controls every single aspect of the game when he's on the field and when he's off the field because of his implied threat, he continues to throw the best deep ball in all of CODs football, Like Henn and Hooker take a funking bat man that he that that that offense is a credit we I mean, we were trying to figure out who's who's gonna be in that Heisman category? Who's that Heisman talk? I mean, if Henn and Hooker is not in it, he needs to be in everyone's poll right now. I mean he's a probably top two three guy at the moment, no doubt about it. Uh. And he's doing it right now without his best receiver. I mean, that's that's to me, that's the scary part about the Tennessee offense. For the past two weeks. They have done it without their number one guy on the outside, and they're getting guys to continue to step up, but put more on on on hendon shoulders. Like Hendon is not afraid to spread the love. You know, with Cedric Tillman out, Jalen stepping up, the Hiatt's having a tremendous job, Brue McCoy is making plays, Keen's making plays. You know, you saw Jabari Small have a great game running the football. I don't know how he slowed down this offense right now, the tempo, the speed, Hendon's ability to run his His is eagerness to take care of the football, not put into harm's way. This is a team right now that is playing better than than than most teams in the country. And that's why obviously they deserved that number eight spot. I would not be surprised that they move up after this weekend based on that performance and why I kind of feel really good about him heading into this week in versus Alabama. You know, I think Bryce will play. I think that the goal was, hey man, we believe we can win this game versus A and M without our Heigsman winning trophy quarterback. Let's get him rested knowing that this game against Tennessee next week is gonna be a shootout. Our dvs. Again, Like we talked about being the show that is the weak point of this defense, Like, yeah, we can get after with Will Anderson and you know number fifteen on the outside, like our d lines is tremendous. But can we hold up against those receivers at Tennessee? Can we hold up with Henn and Hooker and his great deep balls that you allude to over and over again, We better be ready to go. So I love this game next week. I'm not gonna say it right now. I'm gonna study my ass off and make sure that I'm ready to go when we make our picks come into next week. But this is going to be a hell of a football game there in Knoxville. Like, if you're in Knoxville, strap up, man, Like this is gonna be a lot of fun to watch. So and if he wins at one, like if Tennessee wins and Henning goes off with those like two or three touchdowns, he will leave everywhere. He will leave C. J. Stroud and everyone else in the dust when it comes to Heisman Trophy time. So so its its a been interesting. The only thing I worry about when it comes to Heisman with Hooker, and I agree with you, beat in Alabama will probably launch him to the four. It is the thing though, where his stats are not as just like high volume overwhelming, right, So I hope that we'll compared to a C. J. Stroud, I mean compared to a C. J. Stroud. Look at the numbers, they're not dude. He had eight touchdowns coming in today, so he has tenned out like they're not at a Will Rogers c J. Stroud, like you know, Timmy Chang sort of level. I hope that the Heisman Uh Committee if he were to go out of beat Albamas. But I just I just hope that they take these things into account, like like the actual effect that he has in the game. Um. From the l Shut perspective, how Jubian says Tebop, I don't want to get you off track. What do you think Els bounces back next Satura beats Florida. Look from the Elstrooer perspective, this is the type of year that you are in. Um. Nothing is going to come easy this year. Every game is going to be a battle. Um, you can take heart in that. I don't think that you will look as bad as you did today again most likely, But on the same hand, I don't think you're probably gonna look as good as you did against missive the state again this year. You are volatible, and you are thin, and you are young, which comes with its own volatility. And I'm not Look, I'm still believing Kelly. I'm not worried about personnel wise the future. I think they'll recruit well, I think they'll get that right. What makes me a bit frustrated today? Well, first off, within this year, I felt like this first time there was real regression, some of the same mistakes we made again. But what really sucked today I was watching the game, but Don wants cigar Bar where we do our postgame show from a Buddy Chases hanging out me and he hit the fucking nail on the head. He just said, Dude, watching these offenses right now from a philosophy standpoint is so depressing. It felt like L. S U was driving a Ford Pento and Hypel's out there and like Lamborghini like like like it's just L s U felt so old and and boring and almost Jimbo like, whereas everything Hypel did felt so cutting edge and threatening and just like you were on your back heels the higher time where it's just it's and and and and den Brock does kind of run a bit of an older system. They say they have to have a tight end in the game, right, And so that feels a bit limiting in some disappointing ways because I feel like it's an offense that den Bronx that is going to be more talent dependent than some of the other lead officers that you're seen right now. Like why was Hypel's office created, Why was the air raid created? Uh, these were created to mask some talent deficiencies. You don't have to be great on the old line to run the area or you gotta mean you have got a quarterback, right. But like so it's just I think a good example t Bob is Kentucky. I mean, look at Kentucky's offense. It is just it's static. It's blah. They use the entire like they take pride in the fact that we're super pro style and we're gonna use every second the play clock and we're gonna just run the football and pound it out. And it's boring, is hell to watch. And what's the strength of their team. I mean, Rodriguez is back and they good and powerful tonight running the football, but they're not putting points on the board because they're not creating any sort of explosion, explosive plays on the outside. And they got damn good receivers and and I do think Will loves Is a good quarterback, but they're not playing to that strength. They're playing old school mentality football, and that just doesn't work in this age. This is an age of you better create explosive plays, you better find ways to get the ball into your playmaker's hands. And and they're not willing to do that, and it bit him in the laps tonight. First First South Carolina. Uh and and and you can blame the fact that Will Levis wasn't out there on that, but I think the backup quarterback look that bad. They just didn't find ways to just get the ball to the outside, take some shots, go up tempo, really dictate the speed to South Carolina. That's what South Carolina did Kententucky. They dictate the speed. They changed it up over and over again and was able to create some plays. I thought their quarterback had his best game of the season as well. So, yeah, man, this is if you run you're the old school offense where you just want to line up and think you can you can run traditional route concepts. Without motions and shifts, without without mixing up tempo, you're gonna be in freaking trouble. We're seeing it over and over again. You gotta evolve as an offensive coordinator. Yeah, and and and that's why it feels that that is that is the shittiest feeling I think for l s u Van today as you just felt so old and then this hot young thing came walking through. Uh. Speaking of there's a lot of chat in the chat right now that Lindsay Pellis maybe at a local bar here in Ben Rouge Radio Bar. That is the case. One of our producers on this show, Danny Cartinez, has always been a massive Lindsay Pellis fan. So, Danny, I hope that's true, and I hope that you finally get to talk to her. Um. We will we, we will see. I look forward to hearing the report. I also have to let everyone know that I have bad allergies. I was outside all day. Okay, just just want to clear the air right now. We're just gonna throw it out there. I know it's a little scary, but the allergies got to your boy a little bit today. That's I know. I didn't know we had maybe like family for goodness sakes, I was with my pregnant wife and mom and dad, Like, come on, dude, I thought maybe I thought maybe we had least tee and the chat over here with this nonsense, I thought, I thought maybe we had Yeah, from I thought maybe it actually doesn't look as funny zoomed in. I thought maybe we had like a I thought we had like a bomb cost this type situation going on. Okay, well that's good. No, no pink eye for Aaron, Um, okay, okay, and and and I know that's kind of all the games that we're breaking down today. I do I do want to meagine a couple of things here. Um the terminator, I will take that, ze Lin the terminator. The terminator is pretty good. I will take well good. If you're ever gonna say weird things with the at snaps snaps after dark is a great way or a great place to say weird things in the chat. Who is in the PELASNTHI Pellis is one of the original instant girls. I would say she was like very ahead of the curve when it comes to the thought game. And she's Louisiana girl as well. How about that? Um, Aaron, Congratulations to you, um, because you had an incredible well well well I'm gonna say this, Um, well yeah, no Georgia covered, dude, Good good on them. I know you're probably pissed about it because they kind of looked a little frustrating and still managed to cover despite the bet opposite. But um, you had a record broken today, and and I want to say something on this. Congrats to Will Rogers. He broke Aaron Murray's sec completion record. But like with all the Air and judge talk in the air, you know, everybody's talking about asterisks on Barry Bonds and the Royd bros. How about we put an aster risk on Will Rogers and the Raid bros. Okay, I mean it's like, what is the the the air raid that that that's not really that's not the same. Like your completions were harder earned than Will Rogers. Like what if every time instead of handing the ball off, you just threw it three yards like you? Okay, we we could have stacked completions as well, dude. So if we're putting asterix some Bonds and Sosa and McGuire, let's throw an asterisk on Will Rogers and Mike Leach in Mississippi State. Okay, I'm not appreciate it. I'm not appreciating the record in the same way that I did yours. I want to not listen and I have nothing that's I think he's a tremendous I've been a big fan of Will Rogers since he took over a couple of years ago. But I do want to know, like, how many those completions are within five yards of the line of screaming exactly exactly just standing handoffs half the time the handoff, I mean, I would have loved to just throw a swing passes and plug early on the backfield and see what exactly Wait, what the Steven Jason? What happened to the Trojans? Hold on, I mean the Trojans way, okay, okay, okay, roll there we go. Okay, sat on that game thirty to fourteen. I think they covered. Yeah, yeah, they were twelve and a half, so they ended up cover City. Baby let's go. Hey, how about speaking of of of California, how about them U C. L. A. Brewins baby bro physical physical football team. They gotta go to Oregon next week. That's gonna be a hell of a football game because Organs kicking some butt right now? I think there, what's the score? First? Then first Arizona there at nine two against Arizona. It's Arizona. But still it's gonna a five and one Origon team hosting a six and o u c l A team. I can't every fucking bet go wrong that I choose for best bets, and every bet that I do not goes right. It's unbelievable, dude, I just need a fuck whatever. Um yeah, hey, by the way, nobody who's at the u c l A game. Still it's it's it's awful. It's it's just absolutely awful. And he was like, who's the best team in the Pac twelve right now? I think it's A. I'm going to u c l A. They're the most complete team in the PAC twelve right now. I think you're right, But you can run the football and in the quarterbacks playing out of his mind right now, I can't give I can't give Jacob Hester the fucking I. I I can't give him the pleasure. He hates USC so much and he keeps trying to audible and find a new team to take over sc right, and U c l A is the latest challenger. Uh yeah, I I oh, I need to watch more you see a film before I before I make a final call. But I think you're probably right. I just hate that you're probably right because, as we all know, we are petito youn boys, um, and not just a brown nose to our papa Colin Cowherd. Okay, no, we just arrived here organically. Um. Yeah. Dannel bagment Oxford Dictionary defines irony as Tamm's betting. Yeah, it's It was a rough day, boys, Okay, it was a rough day. The vibes were immaculate early on in Baton Rouge. Okay, you got to see some of the fellas at the tailgate for a bit whether it was absolutely spectacular, and then you fumble the fucking kickoff because you don't defer to the second half. Why in the world did you not defer? Not that it matters, but it's just like a red flag from a coaching standboy. Alright, alright, Aaron, anything else to add on today's action, Um, anything you want to mention before you head out of here. M man. It was it was the day of backup quarterbacks. I'll tell you that. I felt like every game I was watching. There's backup quarterbacks playing and uh they got ugly at times for a lot of these guys. But you know, you better have a backup, as we're seeing right now, because a lot of these teams, if if QB one goes down, you better freaking worry a little bit. A lot of these things do not have someone that's ready to go in the wings. I mean, how many backup and just had to go to their backup. Uh NC State had to go to their backup. Kentucky play with their backup. Uh Texas Tech had their third string quarterback in there. I mean Alabama had their backup, and m had their backup quarterback in Alburton Food with their third string quarterback. A lot of backup quarterbacks today and and I would say most of them lost the football game. Christy Evans and Tennessee looked awesome that yes. And and let's be clear, I know I am an L s U guy, and so you know I tend to approach things from that perspective, but this is more about Tennessee and I am hyped to watch this Tennessee Bama game next week, and uh I will be rooting on the Valls two because they're like Alabama fans still have an irrational hate for Tennessee, like considering they beat him like eighteen years in a row or whatever. It is, like they still feel threatened about him. All my bad and friends still like go out of their way to like talk about Tennessee and their uniforms and everything. Them losing to Tennessee would make alabam fans so mad it would make my years. So it look and it looks like they can't. I mean, it definitely looks like they can. Bryce Young or no Bryce Young. I think it's also Tennessee defense gaining and confidence a bit here, So we'll see. Shout at Tennessee told you might be the fourth best team the country a couple weeks ago, right, uh, blonde squirrel probably h Steven Jason. You guys think will be number one next week? We touched on it early. I mean I would put them number one. I don't know that the Poles will. We will, um, we'll see. We'll see on Monday. Think they deserve it, Yeah, I mean I really do. I'm I'm interesting where Georgia ends up there two last week or if they drop them down on a little bit. Clemson is looking good right now, USCS would I wouldn't old would say that was a big win that today. I thought they were going to crap the bed they were down early in that game and find a way defensively to pull it out the end. Still think if if if if Texas tex backup quarterback wasn't playing that, I worry that could they won that game. But it's gonna be a big I mean right now, I mean I wouldn't move Tennessee. I would move Tennessee up to like six. The problem in the A in the yeah, in the AP though, it's just it's tough to move when people don't lose, right It's like, can you really win? Right now? Who would win between Tennessee versus Oklahoma State Tennessee versus USC Tennessee when we do? Okay, no, that's no exact That is why when we asked that question about who is fourth best in the country, that's how I landed on Tennessee. Was that exact mental exercise, right, Like, Okay, head to head, who would we favor and outside of the top three, you would favor Tennessee over any of those teams? Interesting, has their last start of the night, has there ever been a national championship winning quarterback that looks less like a national championship winning quarterback then, Josh Hype. I mean, it is unbelievable. If you saw him and asked, what like, there is no earthly way that you would think that he was a quarterback that one in Natty. Look at this stream right now, look at Aaron Murray. Okay, that's what a QB one looks like. Josh Hypel, I gotta give you love here, hold it down for the big boys. You could tell he was always an no lineman in spirit, and now he's got this incredible offense, just threatening and chucking up everybody throughout the country. Uh, five million dollar contract, gotta raise one million dollar raise this offseason. He goes and beats Nick Saban Alabama. This weekend. He he made double. He made double and salary this offseason. Dude, a test guess. Gus smiles on. That's how Gus kept getting the extension in the raisins, dude, Jim. But I mean, well, and and and they've got that special combination of money and a fan base that feels like they are finally getting to the promised land after twenty years of wandering the desert right of just being shipped on. And and these are all fans, Like the people who would have money now would be what around forty years old, So these are fans who grew up with Tennessee being dominant, and the young adulthood have had to eat ship for about two decades now, and now they finally get a sniff of being back, and they've got money and they can use it now to be more effective. Ever, they desperately don't want to lose it. Yes, like Tennessee is dangerous. Because of that, everything's kind of a lining up for them. And then as as far as Hypele goes, he's just gonna have to prove to be gonna keep this going post hooker, Uh can you do this with the next guy? And that's you know, that's a really big question. But that's not a question for today or even this year. For this year, Tennessee. Fancy to love this ride, enjoy this ride, and just see how far this ride ends up ends up going? Um, what is the opening spread for Tennessee, Alabama? And a half? Ten and a half? That? I like that? What the fuck? Yeah? Right, like we're smashing Tennessee. There right, I think so well, I'm gonna get out of here. And no, no, no, that's that's down the eight and a half. Okay, okay, okay, so that opened up and it immediately moved. Okay, definitely take that, dude. Damn uh would jump half and Mary? Damn that sucks. Sounds too slow. Alright, A great job, man, Um, how's that happens? I didn't ask how was tailgating the whole deal? All good? There's the reason why my eyes read. Uh no, it's a great time. It looks like it looks like a good time. Dude. Look a little eye drops. It goes a long way there, you know, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Uh well, hell yeah, man um, okay, check it out. If y'all enjoy this. If you're in the chat right now, that you so much.
