2:42
Go ahead, B. I'll let you go
2:43
first.
2:43
Well, I didn't watch the game, but I just watched clips and stuff.
2:47
Well, damn.
2:50
So my favorite part was probably watching the highlight of the Jackson Harris 70-plus yard score just because of the throw was the most exciting part because that bitch was accurate as hell.
3:06
And on that kind of route, the way you can create long-ass touchdowns is by throwing the ball accurately to where the receiver don't have to stop.
3:16
So, no, Sam been kind of talked about for his accuracy, which I don't really think is a thing, but on plays like that, he was pinpointed.

18 MINS LATER

21:22
When you're playing bad...
14:03
What's Byron Brown's bugaboo?
14:10
Um, I think he, I think I would say, I would say his accuracy.
14:18
He gonna give you some chances at taking the ball away.
14:22
Yeah.
14:23
Um, so I would say he's not probably not the most accurate.
14:28
quarterback so when he gives you an opportunity you gotta you have to take advantage of like that really lucky catch that they had last week on that that touchdown where the receiver basically caught it off the back of the Georgia defender he was only in that position to make that catch like that because it because the ball was was was a badly thrown ball like That's a ball you want to throw up shoulder, back pylon to where your guy has a chance to catch it or it's incomplete or it's out of bounds.
14:59
You don't want to throw a fade route that's that short because if that defensive back's head is around, that shit's either not down or picked.

7 MINS LATER

22:14
mistakes
8:29
So how y'all feeling about this team now? Do we still not know a whole lot with another? I think the team
8:36
is starting.
8:37
I think that this team, I think I said a couple weeks ago, this team is just improving every week.
8:44
Like, you're just seeing a lot of pieces that had to come together in a short amount of time just starting to get better.
8:50
Like, everything just looks better every week.
8:53
It just gets a little bit, a little bit better.
8:55
Like, if you, if you, I think, If Kentucky misses that two-point conversion, pretty much everybody's attitude about this team is totally different.

48 MINS LATER

56:36
Put some respect on
7:25
Hell yeah.
7:25
Yeah.
7:26
I think, I think that they do.
7:27
I think that they do with a healthy Kamario.
7:29
But if it's the Kamario that played against Alabama, no, 'cause it, he just ...
7:34
All the things that make him who he is, I'm sorry, he has a cannon of an arm, but he's not a pocket passer.
7:40
Um, the things that make him elite, h- he has to, you know? He has to have the full, the, the, the, the full package.

12 MINS LATER

20:12
Mm.
12:04
Nope.
12:04
Texas didn't have a lot of turnover.
12:05
Indiana didn't have a lot of turnover.
12:07
Um- Like a lot, like a teams who didn't change head, head coaches, even Alabama, didn't have a lot of turnover.
12:14
Um, uh, so we're dealing with, with something that a lot of play...
12:18
And I think that's kinda why your, your, your n- your, your Lane Kiffins and your, your national m- media people were a little bit...
12:27
They weren't as high on LSU, even though we spent a lot of money in the portal, as, I guess, as I think a lot of the fans were.

11 MINS LATER

23:04
How, how do you think about, uh, our, our playoff chances from here on out, bro?
20:06
Eugene.
20:07
Eugene Tray Wilson is your top three.
20:11
Uh, a lot of people trying to m- make a case about the freshman C- C- Corey Barber, although he had a g- a great game last week a- against McNeese, and him playing for, for Watkins.
20:21
I think, uh, that was like a combination of, of two things.
20:25
One, him getting the opportunity and the, the quarterbacks finding him, but I think it was also Lane making a point.
20:31
That's one thing I really love.
20:32
As good as their re- relationship is, him and, and W- and Watkins' relationship is, whenever Winnie came off the field after that, that second drop, Lane said something to him.

17 MINS LATER

37:58
A big special one
2:58
... for the entire season?
3:00
Sit him.
3:00
Sit him.
3:02
Sit him.
3:02
Sit him.
3:02
And he, Sam Levitt has enough starts under his, his, his belt at Arizona State, and then, and now here to where this game ain't gonna affect him.
3:13
And he's had enough play this year to where he's gotten back in, into the, the groove of playing after being out, you know, uh, the 20, 25 years.

8 MINS LATER

10:53
... yeah, you gonna need everybody hands on deck.
11:56
How do we finally stop Marcel Reed?
12:00
Okay, so first of all, stopping somebody as athletic as him is kind of a, like it's something you shouldn't even hope to do.
12:10
You just really can't, where he has hurt us in the past is on past plays that break down.
12:17
Nobody's open.
12:19
And then he takes off.
12:21
Those have been, to me, his biggest runs and his biggest times that have hurt us.
12:27
So what you do is you have to...

6 MINS LATER

18:13
I'm going
8:37
Everybody
8:39
was kind of – yeah, you could tell both teams were very shook early.
8:43
But then once Ole Miss got it going, you know, I was like, okay.
8:48
Like, I was kind of – I was kind of – It wasn't that Trinidad was making just great throws earlier.
8:57
What was shocking to me was how open everybody was.
9:02
That's the thing that was kind of...
9:02
Because I'm not...

51 MINS LATER

59:35
at eight points.
17:52
line getting the second level?
17:53
Yeah, yeah, offensive line.
17:54
So I just...
17:55
That was my biggest thing.
17:57
Like, if you saw the plays that were being made, it was rarely a defensive lineman.
18:02
It was always the linebackers who were just in the backfield.
18:07
All you saw was 10 and 24.

10 MINS LATER

28:09
What's y'all's initial read on this, man?
5:14
So, B, what do you want to see? Oh,
5:20
I think, okay, it's easy to get up for Clemson.
5:23
It's easy to get up for that opening night, college game days in town.
5:31
Like, it's easy to get up for that.
5:34
It's not as easy to get up for Louisiana Tech.
5:38
I know Lane has been preaching, you know, Tech has beaten LSU before.
5:46
You haven't done shit.

12 MINS LATER

17:46
Yeah, good luck with that, buddy.
13:44
But the thing is, at the
13:46
core, people talk so much about how the game is, oh, it's not college football anymore, whatever.
13:51
That's a lie.
13:52
Because at the core...
13:54
When that whistle blows and that ball's kicked off on Saturday nights, it's college football.
13:59
Like, no matter how you want to look at it, no matter how you want to look at, oh, the players are being paid or whatever, people out there busting their ass.
14:06
And they actually made a good point on the broadcast because people just in their mind think – Transfer portal paid.
15:49
Correct.
44:03
How does that go?
44:05
I think it goes because of the weather.
44:07
If it's a struggle game, I think it's going to be because of the weather.
44:12
If it's a struggle game, I...
44:15
I don't know, man.
44:16
It's just hard to see.
44:16
It's hard to see that.
48:38
All right, so let me get y'all bold predictions for the 2026 Tigers, man.
22:58
Okay.
23:01
All right.
23:03
These are names you know some, you may not, but it looks like the starters are going to be our new number seven, Whit Week.
23:12
Know what you're going to get with him.
23:13
A whole bunch of energy, a whole bunch of foolishness, a whole bunch of... effort screaming you know that's just what you're gonna get uh and then we got the formerly uh the new nasty man uh that i have since i have since taken that name away once i learned like a little bit more about that situation so i i took that name away but we got tj dottery formerly of clemson and most recently of old miss also like we mentioned earlier getting his ass sued um or your starters.
23:51
And then you got guys like Devon Keyes, who kind of popped in the bowl game a couple years ago.
23:57
Didn't really follow it up, you know, with as successful as we had hoped.

12 MINS LATER

36:05
I can't
7:19
But you reap what you sow, big dog.
7:23
You reap what you sow.
7:25
How you feeling, man? I mean...
7:30
I think us not hearing about it much anymore outside of the occasional social media smartass saying something about it is kind of where it all is.
7:44
It's really not that big of a deal like it was initially.
7:48
Everybody had their words about it.
7:54
Most of their words were in support of like telling Jayden's camp, hey, you guys are doing a lot.

15 MINS LATER

23:21
really care.
5:52
[laughs] Oh, cuz, like-
5:55
Oh, do y'all remember, do y'all remember, uh, remember I had started- ... at, at the car dealership at this point, and this was probably my most viral tweet I've ever had.
6:06
But, uh, there was my, my manager started dating this girl who, who we, who I sold a car to, and she had a son, and the son was probably, like, five or six or whatever, and he had o- one of them backpacks that had a, a, a leash on it.
6:22
And I was so enamored by the fact that he had a backpack with a leash, so I got somebody to take a picture of the kid with the backpack, and I'm holding the leash and I tweeted [laughs] I tweeted, "Walking my first white kid." [laughs]

28 MINS LATER

35:04
Oh, okay.
35:04
Because you mentioned Von Miller and, and, and other players, and how, how good that defense was.
35:10
But, I mean, we had two backs who, who was getting off Jordan.
35:14
Jefferson was getting off Jordan, had time to m- make these throws.
14:11
Well, I
14:13
can't find my stories.
14:16
and all of a sudden like these guys trap Zoe's character and she's like a spy or whatever and they start like taking off her clothes I'm like okay well clearly they ain't about to like show next thing I know Titty's on the screen and I was like okay act natural because what I don't want to do is like tell him like hide your face you know Hide your eyes.
14:41
Make a big deal out of it, because I feel like if I make a big deal out of this shit, he's going to be like, oh, I ain't supposed to see this? And that's just going to make him want to see this shit even more.
14:53
So I'm like, I didn't say shit.
14:56
It wasn't long, but whatever.
14:59
Well, then later on in the show, this girl comes home, and she has a girlfriend.
15:46
I'm like, all right, well.

B Thomp
B ThompGUEST
21:26
Because, dog, there was so many plays that could've been made to wide open receivers, and even, even catches that were, that were, like, balls that were caught.
B Thomp
B ThompGUEST
21:37
Like, Craig, Craig Davis had a couple catches, like, difficult, had to reach back behind him.
B Thomp
B ThompGUEST
21:41
'Cause Jamarcus would just go through these phases of just inaccuracy, but then he would throw a b- a ball that would be just on the dot too that'd make you be like, "Okay, well, there it is." But then again, he'd make...
B Thomp
B ThompGUEST
21:53
And if the receivers weren't so damn good in Kazmeir, man, he would [laughs]...
B Thomp
B ThompGUEST
21:57
His, his completion percentage would've been shot to hell in this game, 'cause I need that man.
B Thomp
B ThompGUEST
22:03
Make, he made every throw, every...
