00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Big Range Sunday, I'll look at all things Falls Athletics,

00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: all over Big Orange Country.

00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: We are here to get you there.

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Now your host, former Tennessee defensive coordinator Doug Matthews.

00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: Well, good morning, then welcome into Big Orange Sunday. I

Speaker 3: ready for another big week wherever you are in Big

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 3: Orange Country. Well, February continues, as does ball basketball. Tennessee

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: was in Lexton last night. Kats win seventy four seventy one.

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 3: Great ball game except well, especially for Kentucky fans and

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 3: Tennessee fans. Right there at the end is a good

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 3: ball game to watch. And we'll be talking about that

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: with Jimmy Himes after this church segment. But first, I

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 3: want to get a new do what's important now. I

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: will continue this first segment talking about the leadership at

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: the University of Tennessee. Also going to dig into a

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: little bit as we get closer to spring practice, exactly

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: what the spring line apps going to look like, the

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: roster is going to look like. But first let's talk

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: about what everybody wants to talk about, and that is

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: Joy Aguilar. As most of you know this coming Friday,

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: there will be a well maybe some of you don't know,

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: but there will be a preliminary injunction hearing up in Knoxville.

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: That's February thirteenth. That's going to determine exactly what's going

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: to happen long term eligibility wise with Joy Aguilar. He

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: was granted a fifteen day temporary restraining order back on

28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: February fourth, so they could put all of this stuff together.

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: So what's going to happen and what's going on here? Well,

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: I'm going to dig into that and tell you exactly

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: what I know about it, some of it coming from

32
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: some knowledge of exactly why all this is happening, and

33
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: a little analysis of where Tennessee is right now, let's

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: start with this. Joy Aguilar is being a scholarship is

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: being held for Joey Aguilar at the University of Tennessee.

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: Tennessee's kind of between a rock and hard place on this.

37
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: They had to find a thirteen quarterback after Jake Merklinger left.

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: They were down to two as we know. More on

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: that as we go through today's show. So what were

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: they going to do Aguilar was trying to get that

41
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: another year, whether it's a fifth or sixth year. I'll

42
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: discuss why and how he was trying to do it,

43
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: and what his chances are of getting it, at least

44
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: from people I know that know a little bit about

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: the legal part of this, and it's kind of up

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: near right now quite frankly. But at the end of

47
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: the year, Tennessee sitting there with two after Jake and

48
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: Merklinger left, they were said with two quarterbacks. Aguilar's situation

49
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: was really in flux. Didn't know exactly what was going

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: to happen because of a lot of different things. They're

51
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: not easily easily explain. The dates just don't line up.

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: You have a transfer portal that you had to be

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 3: in by a certain period of time, you had lawsuits

54
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: going on, you had injunctions put in place. This is

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: happening at Old Miss also with the Chamberler's Junction, probably

56
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: other places around around the country, but at the University

57
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: of Tennessee. Let's just kind of talk where they where

58
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: they are right now. So Aguilar was going to apply

59
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: for another year. The odds of him getting that other

60
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: year from the NCAA were almost kneel, which the NC

61
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: came out and refused that, Well, what do we know

62
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: is going to happen in college athletics? Now you're gonna

63
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: get sued for it. You're gonna they're gonna go to court.

64
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: There's a there's a whole group of legal lawyers out there,

65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: who I guess there aren't unlegal lawyers, but you get

66
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: my point. There's kind of an industry out there right now,

67
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: cottage industry that for athletes, it's very uh, it's been

68
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: very effective to get young men and young women and

69
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: other opportunity to play. So that's situation that Tennessee was pitting.

70
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: So what do you do? Would you like to have

71
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: Joey Aguilar back? Yes? Are you going to prepare for

72
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: him not to be back? Yes? And that's why they

73
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: brought in the quarterback essentially for depth, the Shoabia youngster

74
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: especially for depth. And you're going to go with a

75
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: couple of young men that you're very very high on,

76
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: extremely high on. But what happens if he wins the injunction?

77
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: What happens the agular wins the e junction? Well, you

78
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: almost have to if you're Tennessee, save his spot which

79
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: they did. We'll see what's going to happen. If he

80
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: comes back, he will come back on the foot on

81
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: the football team. I'll give you a little analysis of that.

82
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 3: But Tennessee has planned for this. They knew that Joey

83
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 3: was going through this, They knew that it was a

84
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: long shot, but they had to have some strategy forward

85
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: in case, or really in case. Either way it went.

86
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: If he comes back, what's going to happen. If he

87
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: doesn't come back, what's going to happen. Well, they got

88
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: that thirteen quarterback in Stob. Again, he will be competing.

89
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 3: But without question, if you look at who they brought

90
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: in out of the transfer portal quarterback, they are clearly planning.

91
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: Coach Hypel is clearly planning on George McIntyre being the

92
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: starting quarterback next year. Again, with Joey coming back, that's

93
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: going to be up in the air a little bit.

94
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that as we go through today's show.

95
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: The Brandon's youngster would be the backup quarterback in all likelihood,

96
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: and then Stob would be there who could probably do both.

97
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: But let me just talk just a little bit about

98
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: what coach Hypel thinks about the two quarterbacks. He is

99
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: extremely aft. I'm not going to go over what I

100
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: said about George McIntyre, very high on him, but they

101
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: also think this branding youngster is an athlete who could

102
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: certainly come in and play athletically. Now we know as fans,

103
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 3: you all know about as well as I do, how

104
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: difficult it is to play in the Southeastern Conference as

105
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: a true freshman quarterback. Even if you were an early

106
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: in row league, which he's going to be, or he

107
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 3: is already, it's very difficult you can play him. But

108
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 3: in a competitive conference, Tennessee's not in a position where

109
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: you need to go six and six or seven and five,

110
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: all right. You need to be with this team coming back,

111
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: and they have a very good team coming back. You

112
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: need to be up competing for the championship. Can you

113
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: do that? And I'm putting myself in a coaches position,

114
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: can you do that with a quarterback who has never

115
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: played a snap of college football? It certainly hasn't played

116
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: anything close to what the competition he's going to be

117
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: playing in in the Southeastern Conference. Now, granted, a lot

118
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: of good players going to be around you. This is

119
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 3: going to be a team that's going to have a

120
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: lot of good players around. So that's kind of where

121
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 3: Tennessee was. They were, as I said, they were in

122
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 3: a rock and a powered place. You have to bring

123
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: Aguilar back. They saved a scholarship spot for him. So

124
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: that's the situation. Now, let me give you a little

125
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: analysis that the way I look at it as a

126
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: former coach, knowing a little bit about the situation, knowing

127
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: a heck of a lot about the junior college thing.

128
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: And I'm going to get into all this today as

129
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: we go through the show. Let's just talk about let's

130
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: just analysis of what this looks like. Let's we know

131
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: what's going to happen if Aguilar does not get the

132
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: opportunity to come back. Let's talk about what happens if

133
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: he does. If he doesn't come back, it's going to

134
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: be McIntyre, stob probably Brandon, right, That's why it's probably

135
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: going to look going in all right, be competitions. Certainly,

136
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: all three of them are up on campus for spring

137
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: to get a good look at him. They're all going

138
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: through the off season program, they're all learning the system,

139
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: all those types of things. Let's just talk about what

140
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: happens if if Joey Aguilar gets the okay, gets the

141
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: approval from the court to come back right. Number One,

142
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: he's had thirteen starts at the University of Tennessee. That's

143
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 3: a bunch. He's had many more of that over twenty

144
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: in college football. So we know what we're getting that

145
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: he's a proven product. Coach Hypel, Coach Halsey knows exactly

146
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: what he can or can't do. He knows the system

147
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: well and there's been no system change because the coaches

148
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: are still the same. He should at a minimum have

149
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: improvement in the key areas that he needs to improve on.

150
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: He did a lot of really good things last year.

151
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 3: You look statistically and you can we know we you

152
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: know a lot of people talk statistics. Statistics are okay,

153
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: but you know there's that everybody throws for a few

154
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: more passes that and this offense, you're going to throw

155
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: for a few more passes. He's going to do throw

156
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: for a few more yards. But at a minimum, he

157
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: should improve in the cayrrees. Now, what are some of those.

158
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: Number One that he has to improve on is protecting

159
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: the football. And I'm not talking about oskies. You're gonna

160
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: throw interceptions, but protecting the football. That was if I'm

161
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: looking at it, if I'm grading him, if I would

162
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 3: be coaching that position, and that would be number one

163
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: that I'd be talking with with the with with Joey

164
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 3: Aguilar about about would be all right, here's here's what

165
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: you have to do to get He knows, he knows

166
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: what he has to do. But here's what you got

167
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: to do to get better. Number One, we got to

168
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: protect that football. We had too many times. And again

169
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about throwing interceptions. I think most of

170
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: you all know the way I feel about throwing interceptions.

171
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: Some of it is because I coached on defense. As

172
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: long as I coached on office, you're going to have interceptions,

173
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 3: you know. As I've said, often when I hear a

174
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 3: coach coming in and say we can't turn the ball

175
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 3: over in the ballgame, well you better not play it,

176
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: because turnovers happened, and interceptions happen a lot of different

177
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: types of interceptions. There's one when a quarterback throws the

178
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: ball poorly, or there's others when the ball gets tipped

179
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: or gets dropped or whatever. But at a minimum, at

180
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: a minimum, he needs to improve on protecting the football

181
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: when he's back in the pocket. We had two touchdowns

182
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: that were scored by the defense with him laying the

183
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: ball on the ground. Now with all his fault, but

184
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: you get my point. That's what you can improve on

185
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: protect that football, all right. There will definitely be a

186
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: more analysis on what I see if he comes back.

187
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 3: He's definitely going to be pushed for the start of

188
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 3: the job by McIntyre and that's going to help not

189
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: only him, that's going to help McIntyre. Also, last year

190
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 3: Joy came in and he the job was pretty much his. Well,

191
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: it was as if he stayed healthy because of the

192
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 3: situation that happened last year. That's not true this year.

193
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: There's going to be competition at the quarterback. There will

194
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,479
Speaker 3: be competition at the quarterback spot between Aguilar and McIntyre

195
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: for sure. And you know what that just makes that

196
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 3: just makes both should make both of them better. The

197
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: old saying in college athletics, so saying in football, you know,

198
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: the iron sharpens iron. You got two talented players that

199
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: want to play and they're going to be battling it out,

200
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: so to speak, out there on the practice field. So

201
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: it should be both and that's excellent for both those players.

202
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: And you know who else is sex and four Coach

203
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 3: Halsey and coach Hypel because they're going to be able

204
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: to use the competitive factor to make both of those

205
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: players better. In other words, guys, my talk to them

206
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: would be when I was a coach, we didn't we

207
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 3: didn't have any situation at the quarterback situation. But hey,

208
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: you got two or three guys that are competing for

209
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: a job. Is up to you. I'm going to coach

210
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: you both the same. I'm going to give you both

211
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: the opportunity to play. It's up to you in spring

212
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: practice to show. And the quarterback position different than any

213
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 3: other position on the on the team. Not not I'm

214
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: not say more important, but it's different because your quarterback

215
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: rightly wrongly, if he likes it, if he doesn't like it,

216
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: if you like it, he'd or you don't like it,

217
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 3: that'll make it everything. That's going to be the leader

218
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 3: of your football team. So one of these, one of

219
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: those two young Now what about Brandon, do you see?

220
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: I just don't see anyway. Brandon is an early en

221
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: roly he's going to get a look. But if Aguilar returns,

222
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: he's likely going to be the number three quarterback. And

223
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: I'm sure he knows that going in he will get

224
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 3: a good look. I'm not going to repeat what it

225
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: said the top of the show. I wouldn't want to

226
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 3: be a head football coach. I wouldn't want to be

227
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: an offensive coordinator. Heck, I wouldn't want to be the

228
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator on a team in this league that started

229
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: a true freshman. I don't care how good he is,

230
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: so got to be pushed, but McIntyre should make both

231
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: of them better. Excellent situation. You can't ask more. You

232
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 3: want competition, We're going to have it. By the way,

233
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 3: if I get time, I'll go through today's show on

234
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: those positions. I'll eventually do that leading into spring practice.

235
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: But you want as a coach, you want competition. You'd

236
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 3: like to have three guys out there competing, especially a

237
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: spring practice. So three or four quarterbacks is where we

238
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: are right now. Aguilar McIntyre, if they both come in.

239
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: If Aguilar comes in, you're gonna have Brandon setting in there,

240
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 3: and then you're gonna have the stob youngster, who is

241
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: essentially brought in again to provide depth. We have some

242
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: other positions where transfer portals were brought in to provide depth. Hey,

243
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: he may get there. And light things up. But that's

244
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: kind of where we set right now. Let me talk

245
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 3: a little bit about these latest lawsuits, and it is

246
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 3: really kind of puzzling to me, why the quote powers

247
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: that be in college football, there's only a couple of

248
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: really what would be the word, there's only a couple

249
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: of instances. There are a couple of things going on

250
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: out there that are really damaging and being tough for

251
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: college football. If you look at this sport we talked

252
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: yesterday on the Saturday Show, this sport right now is

253
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: hitting on so many It is a great game to watch.

254
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 3: There's a lot of money in this sport. But there's

255
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: a couple of things that have not been able to

256
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: be worked out by the NCAA or who are college

257
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: athletics that are causing all the problems. Primarily it's the

258
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: lawsuits that are happening, and where are the lawsuits coming?

259
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: To get another year's eligibility almost exclusively from the junior

260
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: college situation, all of these players are almost all these

261
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: players we're looking at Aguilar, the chamberlish youngster down in

262
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 3: Old miss others around the country. They are appealing their

263
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: suing to get another year's eligibility and what they're using

264
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: for that is it comes from the junior college the

265
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: years they were junior cars. Aguilar spent three years at

266
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: junior college. He red shirted his first year and then

267
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 3: he played the next two years. And of course you

268
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 3: though he played at Appalachian State and he played at Tennessee.

269
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: So technically he is out of time, and quite frankly,

270
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: from my viewpoint, probably should be out of time. But

271
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 3: because the NCAA has been able to get some rules

272
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: in place on this, they're continue having to go into

273
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: court and fight these types of things, and quite frankly,

274
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: they just don't fight him anymore. Hey, if Aguilar gets

275
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: the injunction, the NCAA's I've got or against the approval

276
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: to play for next year. The NCAA is not going

277
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: to do anything about it. They've already shown that. But

278
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: let's just let me let me just explain this process

279
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: just a little bit on it. What's the fix to

280
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: this junior college situation. It's really, I think pretty simple.

281
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: I come from this from there's not too many people

282
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: in coaching. There's not too many people period that have

283
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: have the experience and knowledge about the junior college situation.

284
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: I played at a junior college. I played two years

285
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: at a junior college. If I had not gone to

286
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: junior college, I certainly would not have ended up in

287
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: the Southeastern Conference. I'd probably gone to some small school

288
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: in Oklahoma, you know, some Northeastern state college, some smaller school.

289
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: I certainly would not have played in the Southeastern Conference

290
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: or anything near big time football. All right. I recruited

291
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: junior college for fifteen years. They are very useful. They

292
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: were a big plus. Let me just give you some

293
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 3: young men who came through the University of Tennessee and

294
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: played junior college football. All right. Chuck Smith played junior

295
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 3: college football at Northeastern Oklahoma. Doug and Mike furnas out

296
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 3: standing players, played junior college football. Both those three young

297
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: Menard at Northeastern Oklahoma. We used to place when I

298
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: was at Tennessee. We actually placed players that could not

299
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 3: get in school for whatever reason at Northeastern Oklahoma junior college.

300
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: Tennessee had ten twelve really outstanding football players. Anthony Miller

301
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 3: was a junior college player from California. Charlie Garner, Leonard Little,

302
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 3: We're all junior college players from Oklahoma. So if you're

303
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 3: looking at players who are the advantage in this six

304
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 3: to Tennessee. Dale Carter was a junior college player. To

305
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 3: go a little bit further, and then I'll stop on this,

306
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, probably a first ballot Hall of Famer, was

307
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: a junior college player. It's a great opportunity for young

308
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: men to go that aren't for some reason, aren't aren't

309
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 3: being recruited. In my ancestors, I wasn't very big, I

310
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 3: played a small school. In other instances, it's other reasons,

311
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: but the situation could be easily handled by just a

312
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: couple of things. The reason that these lawsuits are filed

313
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 3: and the reason that they're having some success is and

314
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 3: this started with the Pavia Diego Pavia Aguilar took advantage

315
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: of this. So did some other junior college players. Kitseelman

316
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: last year was one that took advantage of Tennessee. They're

317
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 3: saying that when they were in junior college number one,

318
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 3: it's not an n c A school, all right, It's

319
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: kind of like a prep school, right, and they didn't

320
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: have the ability because of that to earn name, image, likeness.

321
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: That's the primary reason, not the only reason, but that's

322
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: the primary factor that's driving these lawsuits. Legal system judge

323
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: comes in and says, that's correct. I'm going to put

324
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 3: a temporary restraining order. You can stay in school, you

325
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: can still play, and then we're going to have a

326
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: hearing on it, and that see exactly what's going to

327
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: happen this Friday the thirteenth. On this, I think it's

328
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: a pretty easy fix. There's talk out there about this,

329
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 3: let's put in place, talking about the NCAA, and there's

330
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: two options that are being put out right now. When

331
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 3: you enroll in school, any school, anywhere, all right, junior college,

332
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: whatever it might be. When you enroll in secondary education,

333
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 3: you have five years to play four. It's kind of

334
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: the rule right now. What a lot of people want

335
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 3: to see is let's go five and five. You got

336
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: five years to play five. They have to be able

337
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 3: to work out the NCAA situation. I think the junior

338
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: college situations should mean. I think it'd be very easy

339
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 3: to do this. I'll end with this on this, the

340
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: name image likeness excuse for being able to get another year.

341
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: And again I'm speaking from someone that went through. There

342
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 3: wasn't any I l back when I was playing junior college,

343
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: and certainly I wouldn't have been getting any if there was,

344
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: But that issuse is pretty poor. You could use that

345
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 3: excuse if you want to, you wanted to say, if

346
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: you wanted to sue on the fact that the first

347
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 3: couple of years I played as a player, I'm talking

348
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: about a player now, if you're playing as a player now,

349
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: the first couple of years I've played, Now, if I

350
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: played a pick a school you Tea, Chattanooga, Austin, p

351
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 3: East Tennessee, State, Tennessee Tech, I didn't have the opportunity

352
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 3: if I played there, if I'm a player, I didn't

353
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 3: have the opportunity there to get the name images like

354
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: this money I'd have had if I'd have played at Tennessee. Well, no,

355
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: that's no question, But that's not that's not what the

356
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 3: lawsuits are about. There, about those years that we're spending

357
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 3: junior college and not having the ability to make any

358
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 3: money off your name image like this. Again, it's a

359
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: poor excuse to do it, but it's one that's been very,

360
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: very very effective.

361
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 4: Uh.

362
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: That's kind of where we are right now. I'll kind

363
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: of keep you updated on that. I got a couple

364
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: of minutes here left in this church segment. I want

365
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: to continue, and I'll continue this throughout this this month

366
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 3: of February on the leadership that could continue the leadership.

367
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: But talked last week about the leadership and the administration

368
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 3: and a few other things. I want to just kind

369
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 3: of continue on that I mentioned last week Coach Josh

370
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: Hypel overhauling the two big I mean, making really huge

371
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: changes on the defensive side of the ball. We talked

372
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 3: about that and on the in the strength condition program.

373
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 3: Derrek Cowen's Director of Football Sports Performance came out this week.

374
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 3: He has added six people, so he brought six people

375
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: in with him and associate director of Football Sports Performance

376
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: Sports Performances is for my discussion, that's strength and conditioning.

377
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 3: He brought in a two associates, one assistant or two

378
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 3: assistant athletic directors. He brought in a director of applied

379
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: performance science. And of course we know that they also

380
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 3: hired a director of football nutrition. So what is this.

381
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 3: This is a big deal. This is a complete overhaul

382
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: of the non football part of the football program, strength contraditioning,

383
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 3: nutrition science, and the performance science. Derry Cohens is going

384
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: to be heading this up. So the two areas that

385
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 3: had to be addressed by this head football coach, the

386
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball, strength and conditioning. There's probably

387
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 3: a few other things too, but they're not of the

388
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: magnitude of These two have been strongly addressed by this

389
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: head football coach. Now, how's it going to work out?

390
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: Derry Gowens comes in with great condition, He's done it before.

391
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: He knows how to do it, all right. Jim Knowles

392
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: came in certainly knows how to do it, and they

393
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: were able for the first time at Tennessee that I

394
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: in my memory to bring in the people that they

395
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 3: have worked with before to bolster both of these two

396
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 3: areas key areas in being a successful football program. All right,

397
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 3: going to take a quick break. We're going to continue

398
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 3: talking about this. I'm going to get into a lot

399
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 3: of other things in the coming weeks, but we're gonna

485
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: first let's do this This.

486
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: Segment brought to you by Double Dogs Restaurants in Gallatin

490
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 9: I'm doing very well.

491
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 3: How are you doing great? Before we hit the end

492
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 3: of the basketball real quick, did most of the first

493
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: segment talking about the Aguilar situations. Tell me just what

494
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: you're hearing. I guess it's all going to come down

495
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: to this Friday. Maybe that won't even decide, but kind

496
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: of tell us that not the Tennessee part of it,

497
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: but that part of it where things stand as you

498
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: see it right now, as you hear I've.

499
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 9: Had people that are very pessimistic, then Aguilar will win

500
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 9: the case with this judge. I'm not as pessimistic. I

501
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 9: think it's about fifty to fifty. I don't know how

502
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 9: you predict what a judge is going to do. If

503
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 9: a judge in Alabama is going to allow a pro

504
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 9: to resume his basketball career at Alabama, then who's to

505
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 9: say Aguilar is not going to get a reprieve and

506
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 9: be granted another year. So I don't know which way

507
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 9: this thing's going to go. It's really hard to predict

508
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 9: the judges. We've seen players get an extra year because

509
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 9: they went to junior college. Then Tennessee had a baseball

510
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 9: player that was denied an extra year even though he

511
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 9: went to junior college. So who knows. This whole thing

512
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 9: is a complete mess. I'm not sure what's going to happen,

513
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 9: and I wouldn't be surprised either. Weigh on the agular really.

514
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: Well, there's no doubt about this Tennessee. I know originally

515
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 3: they felt like this was a long long shot. It's

516
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: most everybody did well. It's it's moved on where maybe

517
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: it's not quite as much of a long shot. Tennessee

518
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 3: certainly is prepared for this, saved a scholarship for him.

519
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 3: I mentioned starting the show though Tennessee's kind of in

520
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: a I guess in some ways it's a good situation,

521
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 3: but also you know, up in the air, what do

522
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: you do about you had to bring somebody in for

523
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 3: the transfer portal. You have three players on the on

524
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 3: the team right now that are quarterbacks, including the transfer

525
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: portal player, and then if Aguilar comes back, you have

526
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: you have four h and you've got a situation there

527
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 3: where you're clearly going to have to have competition from

528
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: it from from McIntyre and Aguilar. Right, if he comes back,

529
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any doubt there's going to be

530
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: a strong competition in Spring for that starting position.

531
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 9: That's interesting. I think if Baguilar comes back, he's a

532
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 9: slam dunk starter, based on the fact he threw for

533
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 9: thirty six hundred yards, based on the fact that he

534
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 9: was a brilliant in the first half against Georgia and

535
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 9: against Florida. He's got all that experience. I would be

536
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 9: surprised if there's a competition.

537
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 3: Well, there's going to be a I don't think there's

538
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: any doubt there's going to be a competition.

539
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I would be surprised if there is one.

540
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 3: We'll see you would be surprised if it's competitive, or

541
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 3: you'd be surprised if Josh Haipel did not say, Hey,

542
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 3: this is going to the You two guys are fighting

543
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: this out for that Which one would you be surprised at.

544
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 9: I wouldn't be surprised as anything he says, but I

545
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 9: would be surprised if it's a true competition, because I

546
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 9: think Aguilar is way ahead McIntyre anybody else in that

547
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 9: quarterback room, and based on his performance. And also I've

548
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 9: looked at what quarterbacks do their second year under Hypel

549
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 9: and they typically, like Hendon Hooker did make a significant jump.

550
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 9: So I would think Akilar is the hands down starter.

551
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 9: So I just don't see much competition.

552
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 3: I don't. I would be very very I would be

553
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: shocked if that were true on that. This is also

554
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: George McIntyre's second year under Hypel also, right.

555
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, but he didn't play.

556
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, well neither had neither had Nico came in,

557
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: had a pre year. Anyway, that's the debate. We'll see

558
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: what happens on that. First off, he's got to get

559
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: he's got to get past the uh, the legal part

560
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 3: of it. Joey does so, and I think it's a

561
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 3: good thing, I really do, because at the very least,

562
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: you're going to have two guys battling that see who's

563
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 3: going to be the starter. And I think at the

564
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 3: end of spring, well, we'll we'll find out on that. Anyway.

565
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 3: All right, let's get into basketball. Anytime Kentucky Tennessee played basketball,

566
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 3: it's almost always must watch. And boy, last night went

567
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: right down to the wire, didn't it?

568
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 9: It did, and Tennessee just can't get across the finish

569
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 9: line against Kentucky. You realize that Tennessee had been able

570
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 9: to hold the ninth to the seventeen point leading non Soil,

571
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 9: the fourteen point leading in Roupp Arena, the Tennessee be

572
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 9: tied for first in the SEC with Florida. But they can't.

573
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 9: They just can't beat the second half of Kentucky has

574
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 9: just whipped Tennessee badly. This time they outscored them forty

575
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 9: one to twenty four. Now, Barnes said this was a

576
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 9: little bit more acceptable because he said his team competed

577
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 9: in the second half this time in Knoxville. He said

578
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 9: his team did not compete in the second handback, but

579
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 9: they got that seventeen point lead. But Tennessee went doug

580
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 9: They went ice level. They shined fifty three percent from

581
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 9: the field in the first half. They were six of

582
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 9: thirty percent in the second half, and a bunch of

583
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 9: those shots were around the rin. Tennessee's bigs were six

584
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 9: of twenty one in shooting, and I would say that

585
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 9: all but about three of those shots were within six feet.

586
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 9: They did a poor job of finishing and making layups

587
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 9: and making the tough twos, and that hurt him. I

588
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 9: also thought that Bishop Boswell got the bad end of

589
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 9: a couple of whistles. There were two absolute obvious charging

590
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 9: calls in which he drew and they called him for fouls.

591
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 9: I thought those were just horrible causes, like what's the

592
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 9: defense of a guy's supposed to do? But Tennessee's inability

593
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 9: to shoot, and they also they got a bunch of

594
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 9: offensive rebounds, they got nineteen, but Doug, they only converted

595
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 9: those into twelve points. That's way too few. When you

596
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 9: get nineteen rebounds on offense, you should get at least

597
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 9: nineteen points out of that, and they didn't. But ultimately

598
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 9: Tennessee didn't make the plays late in the game they

599
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 9: needed to make, and Kentucky did.

600
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 3: Kentucky's really been I'm doing that all year long, though

601
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 3: I've I don't follow a whole lot of basketball, but

602
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 3: I follow them, and Tennessee and a few other teams.

603
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: They've been they've been not always second half team, but

604
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 3: they've they've been strong on that you mentioned by seventeen

605
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 3: at that in the half first half, right, and then

606
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 3: the other big key there you kind of touched on it.

607
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 3: Forty four points in the paint for Kentucky, over half

608
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: their points, and Tennessee had twenty four, so plus twenty

609
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 3: in the paint. So yeah, a lot of a lot

610
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: of things. Good ball game though, Yeah it was.

611
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 9: And the big difference on the paint points is Tennessee

612
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 9: couldn't make the layoups or the close end shots, and

613
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 9: Tennessee probably should have had about forty points in the

614
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 9: paint instead of twenty four. They got to do better

615
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 9: in the player that really struggled the two players Scriller

616
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 9: struggle inside and that was a strill who was only

617
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 9: four to thirteen. He just couldn't he couldn't hardly buy

618
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 9: a basket. And Dwayne Brown was only one of six,

619
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 9: and he had been their best closer around the rin,

620
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 9: the best finisher around the rin, and he ended up

621
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 9: getting offensive rebounds near the goal and he turned around

622
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 9: and kick it out because I think he lost confidence

623
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 9: and been able to score. But the lack of the

624
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 9: inside scoring really hurt Tennessee against Kentucky.

625
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 3: Jimmy, you've watched a lot of basketball for thirty five

626
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 3: thirty thirty five years of it at Tennessee. You've watched

627
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: a lot of really good young men come through there.

628
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 3: Let of young good young women come through there too.

629
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 3: By the way, where's an eight emment stand on that list?

630
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 3: Just so far? And I realized we're just roughly halfway

631
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 3: through the season. But where's he stand right now?

632
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 9: One of the most talented players I've seen in the

633
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 9: forty years up covered Tennessee basketball. He is, and he's

634
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 9: really come into his own. He had some up and

635
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 9: down moments earlier in the year. I think when he

636
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 9: had that when he carried the team to that win

637
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 9: against Texas A and M, I think that allowed him

638
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 9: that he turned the corner. At that point. His last

639
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 9: five games, he's averaging right at twenty five points a game.

640
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 9: He is definitely the go to player. They had a

641
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 9: couple of stretch in the second half in particular, where

642
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 9: he was not involved and so Rick Barnes had to

643
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 9: call plays to get into basketball. They didn't do a

644
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 9: good job of getting him the ball on some of

645
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 9: their possessions during their second half drought when we were

646
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 9: having trouble getting baskets. But the guy's about six to eleven.

647
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 9: He shoots the ball with high off the head. It's

648
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 9: not a low shot shooting. He extends his arm when

649
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 9: he shoots, makes it extra difficult to block. He's taken

650
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 9: to the basket once again. He drew the most fouls

651
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 9: of any Tennessee player. He drew eight fouls against Kentucky.

652
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 9: He's now, for the most part, doing a good job

653
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 9: at the foul line. Hit five out of six against Kentucky.

654
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 9: He's a great basketball player right now. He wasn't earlier,

655
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 9: but he's a great player right now.

656
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 3: And just listening to coach Barnes, Phil has he's going

657
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 3: to be improving. His ear goes long, so should be

658
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 3: should anyway, more experience you get. But the boy's fun

659
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 3: to watch. He he really is h Give me a

660
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 3: thought on the on the conference right now. I wanted

661
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 3: to start, well, go ahead, do that first and I'll

662
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 3: bring it up something else. Go ahead.

663
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 9: Florida has kind of I can't say they've separated themselves

664
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 9: much because they only have one game lead, but I

665
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 9: think Florida's most complete team in the league. They've got

666
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 9: the best front court, they got an outstanding guard. They

667
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 9: beat Texas A and M, which I wasn't surprised at.

668
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 9: So you got Florida sitting there at eight and two,

669
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 9: and in my opinion, they are the best equipped team

670
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 9: to make a long run in the NCAA Tournament. Of course,

671
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 9: they won it last year. Kentucky has been on a roll.

672
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 9: You know, one point that we're five and four and

673
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 9: the Big Blue Nation was booing their coach Mark Pope.

674
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 9: But since then they have been on a heater. And

675
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 9: you mentioned their ability in the second half. That's the

676
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 9: third game they have won when they trailed by at

677
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 9: least fourteen points, So they're really good in the second half.

678
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 9: They're really good at crunch time. A and M is

679
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 9: a team that I think has come back to the pack.

680
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 9: They're starting to play a tougher schedule. Arkansas has got

681
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 9: a really good team, and the team that's kind of

682
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 9: surprised me a little bit the way they falters Vanderbilt.

683
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 9: Vandervelt had such a great start and I think they've

684
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 9: lost three of their last seven games, and they were

685
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 9: down by what almost twenty points to Oklahoma, which is

686
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 9: one of the worst teams in the SEC. They've hit

687
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 9: a tail spin lately. The other team to watch out

688
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 9: for still to me is Alabama. They got a lot

689
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 9: of talent, they have not played at the level they

690
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 9: had hoped to.

691
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: How about what's going on? But with the player free

692
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 3: of these I can't pronounce his name came back of

693
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 3: basketball player Alabama that's running a lot of national uh yeah,

694
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 3: national talk right now. They're gonna to get that. They're

695
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 3: going to get that situation ficked. That was I've seen

696
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 3: a lot of dumb things that the NCAA has done,

697
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 3: but granting that, I mean that you just kind of

698
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 3: touched on it. You have situations like the baseball player

699
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 3: didn't see that didn't passed, and they led a guy

700
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 3: that had actually played a couple of years of quote

701
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 3: professional football, come back or basketball? Excuse me, come back, Yeah.

702
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 9: Charles Benioco. So he was actually in the G League

703
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 9: for about three years. Yeah, and he decides a judge

704
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 9: granted him the restraining order. So the game of ten

705
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 9: day and then they had some inclement weather and the

706
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 9: judge decided, well, let's give him ten more day extensions.

707
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 9: So he's got twenty days before final ruling. The NCAA

708
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 9: has fought that they don't like it. However, there was

709
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 9: a guy that played in the NBA that's now playing

710
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 9: at Baylor, and he just got eligible what's going on here?

711
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 3: Heay, who else doesn't like at the commissioner of the

712
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: Southeastern Conference came out really strong on that thing, which

713
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 3: in one way one way surprised me.

714
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 9: But anyway, Yeah, that's not what this should be about.

715
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 9: I'm strongly opposed to that.

716
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's kind of going maybe a step too

717
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 3: far anyway, Jimmy, how about seventy two point four million

718
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 3: in the athletic Department's coffers for the twenty four to

719
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 3: twenty five season, and you know what it's going to

720
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 3: be more after the twenty five twenty sixth season. But

721
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 3: pretty big, pretty big payout for being part of a league.

722
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 9: Absolutely, and I remember I don't know what the Big

723
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 9: ten payout is, but there was some argument that the

724
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 9: Big ten payout was a whole lot more than the SEC.

725
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 9: I'm not sure about that. I saw those numbers. Those

726
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 9: are huge, and there's absolutely no reason with that kind

727
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 9: of money that you that the teams that take clear

728
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 9: or successful and the league shouldn't continue to be successful

729
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 9: because they've got all the resources that they need. Somebody

730
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 9: threw at me, well, if they got all that money

731
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 9: had come the revenue sharing is only twenty point five million.

732
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 9: That's because not every conference, not every team that's in

733
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 9: the Division one Football or the FBS has that kind

734
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 9: of revenue. The Big Twelve didn't have that. The other

735
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 9: conferences don't conference usay, all these others don't. So I

736
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 9: think that's how they reached the twenty point five million.

737
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 9: But could teams like Tennessee teams in the SEC and

738
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 9: the Big Ten, could they do revenue sharing at thirty million?

739
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 9: Sure they could, but not all the other schools can.

740
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 9: So I think they were trying to consider the smaller

741
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 9: schools whenever they set that baseline.

742
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was part of that house settlement that was

743
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: two years ago was settled, And you know, I thought overall,

744
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: I think the judge out there was named Wilkin. I

745
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 3: thought she had led really well. I mean that's you know,

746
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 3: you're never going to get everybody behind something. But that

747
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: appeared to be well, at least from my viewpoint, pretty

748
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 3: well as it handled pretty well. So let's just look

749
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 3: at it. Seventy two point four million, and that's just

750
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 3: from the money that comes from the conference twenty point

751
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 3: seven million, So that leaves about fifty one million for

752
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 3: the athletic department to do something with that's the way

753
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 3: you see it. Yes, they're going to pay the players

754
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 3: a third of that roughly. Of course, you got scholarships

755
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 3: in there. I don't know how Tennessee handled at the university.

756
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 3: May part of that, I don't know. I doubt that

757
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 3: they do. But anyway, that's pretty good. So we got

758
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 3: an athletic directord that's running a what do I see

759
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 3: revenues were somewhere around two hundred million last year? Is

760
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 3: that right?

761
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 9: Yeah?

762
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 3: They they more than two hundred million. I think that's right.

763
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 9: They exceeded two hundred million for the first time with

764
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 9: their budget, and in fact it's way up there was

765
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 9: almost double because, as I recalled, he made the comment

766
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 9: when he got when he became that played director, Tennessee's

767
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 9: budget was one hundred and forty million dollars and then

768
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 9: just about doubled it. So it's actually closer to two

769
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 9: hundred and eighty million.

770
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 3: Jimmy, as always, buddy, thanks so much, lady. Balls play today, Yes, yeah,

771
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 3: they got.

772
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 9: They got a game at three o'clock. They're taking on

773
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 9: South Carolina, which is one of the top three teams

774
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 9: in the country, and Tennessee's coming off now they had

775
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 9: that embarrassing second half against Utah Yukon. They bounced back

776
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 9: to Big Georgia, but now they're playing South Carolina in Columbia,

777
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 9: and South Carolina to me, is every bit as good

778
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 9: as Yukon. This is going to be a very difficult

779
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 9: challenge for the Lady Balls.

780
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 3: Betty, thanks so much. We'll talk next week.

781

785
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 3: so here, maybe a few more of that, just looking

786
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 3: at some of the player editions, transfer portal part of it.

787
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 3: Can dig into that a little bit. Continuing of course

788
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 3: this month about the leadership and how important that is,

789
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 3: and we'll get in as we go through this month.

790
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,759

791
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,839

855
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 3: we're gonna be seeing this spring, the player editions and

856
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 3: things like that. Spent a few minutes on that for

857
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 3: our next break that We've got a guest coming on

858
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 3: at the end, but let's do this first.

859

862
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 3: talking basketball, of course, but they're going to spend a

863
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 3: significant part just talking about going into spring. The importance

864
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 3: of this month I think I saw over the spring game,

865
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 3: I think is the eleventh. They're going to start April eleventh,

866
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 3: they're gonna start spring. I think it's April eleventh, sometime

867
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 3: in there they're going to start. That means they're gonna

868
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 3: start springing March. So we got about a month here now,

869
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 3: and I'm going to kind of talk about what's happening

870
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 3: off field, what's happening in those in those coaching offices.

871
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 3: Of course, we know we have almost a complete news

872
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 3: that's certainly a complete news system on the defensive side

873
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 3: of the ball offensive side of the ball, though. Everybody back,

874
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 3: this will be the third or fourth year that they've

875
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 3: been together. A couple of them were analysts, but they've

876
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 3: been there. I think the running back coach is relatively new,

877
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 3: but the second year for him. All right, let's look

878
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 3: here though, those player editions. This is what's key transfer portal.

879
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 3: All right, Twenty one players were brought in, and the

880
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 3: transfer portal Eleven of those were on defense, seven of

881
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 3: them were on offense, and three were in the kicking game.

882
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 3: Now a closer look. A closer breakdown though, kind of

883
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 3: tells you what coach Hypel was looking at. Six of

884
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 3: those twenty one, so about a third of them, we'll

885
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 3: have one year's eligibility left. Why do you bring a

886
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 3: player in with one year's eligibility? Don't bring them in

887
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 3: for depth very often. You want that to be a

888
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 3: younger player, right. You don't want somebody on your second

889
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 3: or third team. You don't want them to be a

890
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 3: senior because or only one year eligibility left, because you

891
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 3: know you want somebody to get in an experience there.

892
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 3: So those six players in future shows, I'll get into

893
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 3: who those are. One are your players? All right? Two safeties,

894
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 3: two corners, So four of the six one year players

895
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 3: with one year eligibility are in that secondary clearly, clearly

896
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 3: an area that needed to be addressed. One's an offensive

897
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 3: lineman and one of them one's a linebacker. All right.

898
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 3: Of the transfer port players, seven defensive backs, four that

899
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 3: can play the corner in the star position. That means

900
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 3: they're man demand type players, all right, and three safeties.

901
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 3: Two were edge rushers a big need on defense. One

902
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 3: was the linebacker. They brought in depth at quarterback, tight end,

903
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 3: and defensive tackle. Those three players were brought in almost

904
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 3: are surely are going to be death players now that

905
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 3: we end up being great players, but they were brought

906
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 3: in for depth, and of course in the kicking area

907
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 3: of it, they brought into place kicker, they brought in

908
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 3: a returner, and they brought in a snapper. High school

909
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 3: players twenty plus early in row lees, those who are

910
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 3: going to be the players are going to give you

911
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 3: the expected and the likely depth at three positions. You're

912
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 3: going to have a freshman depth a freshman quarterback, offensive tackle,

913
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 3: wide receiver on offense, three on offense, and edge rusher.

914
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 3: Those are the key areas that freshmen will certainly play

915
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 3: a factor in next year's football team. Let me get

916
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 3: my last break out of the way. We're going to

917
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 3: have a guest coming up with us for a few

918

972
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk a little bit about what I've been

973
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 3: talking in the last few weeks about one thing has

974
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 3: been going on up up in Wilson County is the

975
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 3: Southern Home and Garden Expo has been put on presented

976
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 3: by Wilson Bank of Trust for years and years now.

977
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 3: It's the thirteenth and fourteenth of this year, John.

978
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 9: I know.

979
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 3: One of the things that Wilson Bank has done over

980
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 3: the life of this bank community oriented grown a lot

981
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 3: of a lot of different ways, a lot of different areas,

982
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 3: a lot of different parts of this state, but still

983
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 3: have that hometown feel, I know, And this has been

984
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:16,919
Speaker 3: something that I've discussed on the show often when I've

985
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 3: talked about Wilson Bank very active of course in the

986
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 3: education process and the high schools, middle schools and all

987
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 3: those types of things, but also in the in communities

988
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 3: and this Southern Home and Garden Expo is one of those.

989
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, We've been doing that coach over thirty years, and

990
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 4: really it was started. It's about people helping people, people connecting.

991
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 4: When you think about you know, we think about what

992
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 4: we do each and every day and let's make loans,

993
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 4: may be construction loans or home improvement loans. We wanted

994
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 4: to have an event that brought people together that were

995
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 4: looking to maybe the building their dream home. Maybe it

996
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 4: was improved when they had and then connect them with

997
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 4: professionals in the industry that could help them help them

998
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 4: attain those goals. And so it's been really cool to

999
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 4: watch it over the years. It actually ends up like

1000
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 4: a mini gauge for us for that economic outlook for

1001
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 4: the middle tesse the area about what are what are

1002
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 4: people thinking about spending money and therefore kind of gives

1003
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:08,839
Speaker 4: us an idea as far as on our lending side

1004
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 4: what that can look like for the year.

1005
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,760
Speaker 3: Well, Wilson Bank's going to be there with their folks

1006
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 3: doing exactly what John talked about, talking about offering products

1007
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 3: and services and advice on those types of things. But

1008
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 3: found a lot of other exhibitors come up there. This

1009
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 3: this is a it's a it's a home and garden exposition,

1010
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 3: is what it is. What will folks see when they

1011
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:29,280
