So 43 00:01:50.129 --> 00:01:51.989 with that being said, we probably need to go. Like 44 00:01:52.030 --> 00:01:55.750 Luke Nelson said, let's go, man. Let's get on with 45 00:01:55.790 --> 00:01:58.599 the stuff. But anyway, time for reminiscing. We'll come on 46 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.219 a later show. But right now we're here set to 47 00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:03.700 talk high school football. And look, we're going to get 48 00:02:03.739 --> 00:02:07.079 into all the specifics. My man Luke Nelson, a.k.a. Big Buford, 49 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.310 says let's go. Kerry is kind of like, I don't know, 50 00:02:12.210 --> 00:02:14.669 Big Buford number two or. 51 00:02:14.469 --> 00:02:17.150 Something like that. Remember Mr. Rassler number one and Mr. 52 00:02:17.189 --> 00:02:19.270 Rassler number two? It's kind of that thing. 53 00:02:19.849 --> 00:02:22.629 But anyway, we're certainly going to talk some Buford. Nathan 54 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.259 Lincoln says, go Vikings. Andrew Watkins, Daugherty High's number one fan, 55 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.280 is in the house. They've got a big game coming 56 00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:33.319 up with Columbus Shaw this weekend. Obadiah Farley, TCC's number 57 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.960 one fan. I bet he has got a small, wide 58 00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:39.860 as a mile today. What's going on ITG, TCC, LG? 59 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.680 And everybody checking in today. Jim Blair says, Go Pack 60 00:02:43.699 --> 00:02:46.939 Go from Moultrie, Georgia, home of the Colquitt County Packers, 61 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.699 or as I like to say, home of the Cold 62 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:49.979 Cut County Packers. 63 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.039 Took the weed off to get ready for Rickers. 64 00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:54.240 Yeah, by the way, you guys check out my Colquitt 65 00:02:54.259 --> 00:02:56.639 County Coaches Show with Sean Calhoun. 66 00:02:56.699 --> 00:03:00.039 It was one of six that I recorded earlier today. 67 00:03:00.099 --> 00:03:02.560 And, of course, one of the other ones was Dean 68 00:03:02.590 --> 00:03:06.009 Fabrizio with the Lee County Trojans. Definitely want to check 69 00:03:06.030 --> 00:03:08.849 that one out. Coach is very classy. Had a lot 70 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.240 of great things to say about TCC. Phillip Jacob Williams says, 71 00:03:12.259 --> 00:03:14.759 Aiden McPherson was nominated for the Sports Illustrated Player. 72 00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:14.879 Of the Week. 73 00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:17.039 Yeah, he's definitely probably going to be one of our 74 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:18.199 top performers this week. 75 00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:23.159 Gary Claver says, I ain't Luke's sidekick. Come on, man. 76 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.979 I thought that was a compliment. 77 00:03:25.699 --> 00:03:27.520 Man, okay then. 78 00:03:27.539 --> 00:03:30.169 Those two must have had a falling out or something. 79 00:03:30.250 --> 00:03:31.330 I don't know. 80 00:03:31.430 --> 00:03:32.169 Nah, they're buddies. 81 00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:36.650 Rufus is the man. Replying to Jim Blair, I heard 82 00:03:36.689 --> 00:03:39.069 that Rickards texted and asked if we wanted to forfeit. 83 00:03:39.650 --> 00:03:42.759 Oh, and the shots have begun. 84 00:03:43.539 --> 00:03:46.800 All right. No, I don't think that's the case. But anyway, 85 00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:50.199 I want to thank Dr. Kevin Collins, the Houston Clinic 86 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.849 sponsors of our show. Big thanks to Kevin Collins. He's 87 00:03:54.889 --> 00:03:55.810 the best in the business. 88 00:03:55.830 --> 00:03:58.490 I had somebody talking to me over the weekend about 89 00:03:58.509 --> 00:03:59.069 Kevin Collins. 90 00:03:59.090 --> 00:04:00.150 I said, hey, man, I see you got Dr. Kevin 91 00:04:00.169 --> 00:04:02.210 Collins as your show sponsor. He's been with us a 92 00:04:02.229 --> 00:04:05.699 long time. He also sponsors the Sean Calhoun, the aforementioned 93 00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:10.050 Sean Calhoun-Calkwood County show because he is the team doctor. 94 00:04:10.610 --> 00:04:12.129 The team physician is Dr. 95 00:04:12.150 --> 00:04:15.229 Kevin Collins for the Calhoun County Packers as well as 96 00:04:15.270 --> 00:04:19.319 the Valdosta State University Blazer championship football team. And we 97 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.839 are delighted to have him as our sponsor. And he's 98 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:23.279 a friend. 99 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.220 So double trouble there. 100 00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:27.439 What's on your mind, Larry? 101 00:04:28.019 --> 00:04:31.899 Hey, Phil, Greg Hackle. is a Toombs County fan checking 102 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.060 in from Daytona. He's got to be feeling good on 103 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.459 the beach right now because his Toombs County's team is 104 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.839 4-0 and number one in the PSR ranking in AAA. 105 00:04:42.980 --> 00:04:46.459 Yeah. You know, Toombs County has been our number one team, 106 00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:50.279 whatever class they're in. I can never keep up. 107 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:52.800 But they are our number one team. 108 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.519 In fact, we'll kind of give you an update on 109 00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.389 Fitzgerald drops out of the number one but we'll talk 110 00:05:00.410 --> 00:05:02.829 more about that as we go forward. Kerry Claiborne tuning 111 00:05:02.850 --> 00:05:05.519 in this week when Valdosta takes on the local sixth 112 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.420 grade team to boost their PSR. 113 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.040 All right, now let's keep the low shots. 114 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.120 Did that just come out of Kerry's mouth when they 115 00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:14.019 played Seconder? 116 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:19.259 Well, in fairness, they have

in total played a much 117 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.310 tougher schedule, and they've got to play Seconder. 118 00:05:22.529 --> 00:05:23.550 I mean, Seconder. 119 00:05:23.569 --> 00:05:25.759 Seconder. Yeah. 120 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:26.800 They got to play them. 121 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.060 Uh, I did not mean to say that. I really 122 00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:32.980 did not. That that's very low class. Uh, I am 123 00:05:33.019 --> 00:05:36.250 here to support all young men and all, all these schools. 124 00:05:36.290 --> 00:05:36.720 So that's it. 125 00:05:37.069 --> 00:05:39.470 I said that was in poor taste. So I apologize 126 00:05:39.490 --> 00:05:39.730 for that. 127 00:05:39.970 --> 00:05:40.269 Anyway. 128 00:05:40.889 --> 00:05:44.589 Um, well that, that, that, that, that Buford region is 129 00:05:44.610 --> 00:05:47.009 just very, you know, it's a very diluted. 130 00:05:47.029 --> 00:05:47.769 Let me put it that way. 131 00:05:48.230 --> 00:05:51.689 Um, Mack Foster Jr., tough time Friday night for our 132 00:05:51.709 --> 00:05:54.569 Tiff County Blue Devils. They took it on the chin, 133 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.160 35-14 against the Coffey County Trojans, who, by the way, 134 00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:03.600 look out for Coffey. I'm telling you, Coffey is an 135 00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:05.779 emerging ball club. 136 00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:06.800 Okay? 137 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:08.600 And I'm not saying that just because they beat Tiff County. 138 00:06:08.620 --> 00:06:15.160 I'm not. They look really sound. It's old-style football. Going 139 00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:17.480 to run it down your throat. And we're going to 140 00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:20.889 play good defense. Mark my word. You remember I said this. 141 00:06:20.930 --> 00:06:26.620 We've got all these shows archived. And you mark my word. Coffee, high. Trojans, 142 00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:28.939 remember that score. Larry? 143 00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:33.680 Yeah, we talked about that game last week. And I 144 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.889 understand coffee brought a good crowd. Trojans played very, very well. So, 145 00:06:39.949 --> 00:06:42.870 Tiff County, you know, they're improving, but they haven't quite 146 00:06:43.050 --> 00:06:43.990 turned the corner yet. 147 00:06:44.509 --> 00:06:44.790 That's it. 148 00:06:44.810 --> 00:06:45.629 It's a very good assessment. 149 00:06:46.189 --> 00:06:51.480 Very good assessment. They are– They're learning how to win, 150 00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:53.639 as Coach Jeff Littleton says. 151 00:06:53.660 --> 00:06:57.639 Okay. Daniel Calhoun says, coffee still is your players. 152 00:06:58.220 --> 00:06:58.740 Okay. 153 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:01.980 Andrew Watkins says. 154 00:07:02.060 --> 00:07:06.540 Braves baseball postseason tomorrow night, best of three. 155 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.079 Why do I not feel good about that? 156 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:13.980 I should. Braves just scare me, you know. And I hate, 157 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.519 by the way, I hate these best of three. 158 00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:17.230 Yeah. 159 00:07:17.870 --> 00:07:20.740 They got to get rid of that, okay? I mean, 160 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.240 you come out in the best of three, you have 161 00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.939 one bad game, you're done, man. You're cooked. 162 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.720 What would you rather, old school best of five? 163 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.790 100%. Yeah. 100%. Best of five. Nothing should be less 164 00:07:33.810 --> 00:07:36.490 than best of five. And the impassive best of five, 165 00:07:36.509 --> 00:07:41.110 you do best of seven. You got to have something that, 166 00:07:41.389 --> 00:07:44.879 you know, you got to have something in total that 167 00:07:45.730 --> 00:07:50.439 that measures the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. And 168 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.939 to me, Larry, that does not come in a best-of-three series. 169 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.639 What that does, a best-two-out-of-three, you know what that does? 170 00:07:58.459 --> 00:08:01.500 That rewards the team that just gets hot on any 171 00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:02.060 given day. 172 00:08:02.459 --> 00:08:02.660 Sure. 173 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:04.439 You follow me? 174 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.100 Yeah, I do. I agree with you there. 175 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.810 Yeah, I just don't like that. It stinks. And again, guys, 176 00:08:11.870 --> 00:08:14.610 I promise we're going to talk football. This real quick, 177 00:08:14.629 --> 00:08:16.589 and I'll get it out of my system. You play 178 00:08:16.610 --> 00:08:26.959 162-game season. And you're fighting to win your division over 179 00:08:27.019 --> 00:08:32.139 that 100. Being better many more times than not over 180 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.960 that 162-game season. 181 00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:34.879 Okay? 182 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.379 And now you're going to tell me you're going to 183 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.740 let the playoff, your playoff livelihood come down. 184 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.320 To the best two out of three. 185 00:08:45.340 --> 00:08:48.740 No, no, no. That stinks, man. I don't like that. 186 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.039 All right. Ken Washington, Jr., Cat's checking in. How's it 187 00:08:53.090 --> 00:08:55.710 going today, fellas? Ken, it's going well, man. Things are 188 00:08:56.029 --> 00:08:59.809 going to start to heat up here a little bit. Larry, 189 00:08:59.830 --> 00:09:01.120 Lowndes was off Friday, wasn't he? 190 00:09:02.190 --> 00:09:06.809 Lowndes was off Friday. We needed a break. And I 191 00:09:06.850 --> 00:09:09.049 was glad to see it, too. I got a chance 192 00:09:09.100 --> 00:09:12.279 to make my way up to Nashville to watch my Rebels. 193 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.909 They didn't do too well, but I was still glad 194 00:09:15.929 --> 00:09:16.409 to be up there. 195 00:09:17.190 --> 00:09:21.090 Just like Tia, you know, Berrien is good.

They're getting better. 196 00:09:21.629 --> 00:09:24.309 But you've got to remember, man, it seems like Berrien, Jackson, 197 00:09:24.350 --> 00:09:27.250 he's done a great job with Berrien, but Larry, are 198 00:09:27.289 --> 00:09:28.370 you messing with your microphone? 199 00:09:28.850 --> 00:09:29.629 Yeah. Okay. 200 00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:31.909 Berrien is taking baby steps. 201 00:09:32.690 --> 00:09:35.980 Okay. I mean, learning how to win. You remember the 202 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.600 Foo Fighters learning how to fly? Well, the Berrien County 203 00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:43.309 Rebels are learning how to win. Now, Jackson Dean did 204 00:09:43.350 --> 00:09:46.539 a great job last year, brought them back and made 205 00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:47.620 the playoffs, but. 206 00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:51.679 Take it easy. Just got to still learn how to win. 207 00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:56.370 That may have been biting off a little bit too much, 208 00:09:56.470 --> 00:09:58.789 and I'm not taking anything away from Jackson I don't 209 00:09:58.809 --> 00:10:01.769 want anybody to misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not saying 210 00:10:01.789 --> 00:10:03.610 that at all. I'm just saying to jump, to try 211 00:10:03.649 --> 00:10:06.009 to make that leap up to Thomasville, maybe a little 212 00:10:06.029 --> 00:10:07.029 bit too much, but you know what? 213 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:08.480 They're getting there. I promise you that. 214 00:10:08.929 --> 00:10:14.120 Yeah, so Aaron lost 56-21, and I walked away very 215 00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:15.220 proud of that team. 216 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.039 Yeah, sure. 217 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:17.320 I was talking to a lot of people over the 218 00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:19.840 weekend about it. It's like, I got asked, be proud 219 00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:24.259 of a team that loses 56-21. You had to be there. Phil, 220 00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:30.350 you can tell there is a complete culture change in Nashville. 221 00:10:31.090 --> 00:10:33.730 It's no secret that Varian does not have a long 222 00:10:33.789 --> 00:10:37.789 history of winning when it comes to football. It's going 223 00:10:37.809 --> 00:10:42.090 to take some time to turn the Titanic, if you will. 224 00:10:43.850 --> 00:10:46.210 He's done that by taking the first step and that's 225 00:10:46.669 --> 00:10:50.159 changing the culture of not just the team, but the 226 00:10:50.259 --> 00:10:53.700 town as well. I mean, when I say people are 227 00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:57.899 behind that program, that entire community is completely sold out. Now, 228 00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:01.259 I was a little bit disappointed when I heard some 229 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.779 of the students and some of the casual fans start 230 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:09.320 to get on to the Berrien team. There's a little 231 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.700 bit of still old school mentality there. It's like, we 232 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.299 got an awful football team, but the vast majority of 233 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.669 the fans and the students that I talked to They're 234 00:11:18.710 --> 00:11:21.129 completely bought in. And I'm so glad to see this 235 00:11:21.190 --> 00:11:21.789 culture change. 236 00:11:22.789 --> 00:11:23.370 Absolutely. 237 00:11:23.429 --> 00:11:24.830 We're going to get into more of your comments here 238 00:11:24.850 --> 00:11:26.269 in a minute. Of course, I want to go right 239 00:11:26.309 --> 00:11:28.690 to and start talking about the game, which was one 240 00:11:28.710 --> 00:11:31.909 of the most anticipated games of the entire season. And that, 241 00:11:31.929 --> 00:11:36.519 of course, was Lee County, Thomas County Central. And I 242 00:11:36.580 --> 00:11:39.700 did talk to Dean Fabrizio today. It was a part 243 00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:43.299 of the many coaching shows that I record. He actually 244 00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:46.700 joined me Friday night on my Friday night scoreboard show. 245 00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:47.200 Okay. 246 00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:47.320 Okay. 247 00:11:47.889 --> 00:11:49.509 So I had a chance to talk to Dean Fabrizio. 248 00:11:49.529 --> 00:11:50.649 You want to talk about class. 249 00:11:50.710 --> 00:11:54.509 And he was classy both Friday night and in today's show. 250 00:11:55.799 --> 00:12:00.559 Very classy. Gave all the credit to Thomas County Central. 251 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.740 Definitely a tip of the hat to Thomas County Central. 252 00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:09.440 And the play of Aiden McPherson, who may– if he's 253 00:12:09.460 --> 00:12:11.899 not the most electric player, he's certainly one of them. 254 00:12:12.230 --> 00:12:15.970 He basically was all of the offense– for Thomas County 255 00:12:16.009 --> 00:12:17.990 Central the other night. And I'm not saying that in 256 00:12:18.029 --> 00:12:19.889 a bad way. Thomas County Central has got a lot 257 00:12:19.909 --> 00:12:22.990 of good talent, good talented players. But he really took 258 00:12:23.070 --> 00:12:28.450 that game over. And it was just incredible. And so, anyway, 259 00:12:28.750 --> 00:12:30.590 we'll definitely talk about, is that the end of the 260 00:12:30.629 --> 00:12:32.610 world for Lee County? No, of course not. 261 00:12:32.970 --> 00:12:34.669 But I've got to ask the question. 262 00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:36.480 Okay. 263 00:12:37.389 --> 00:12:39.820 Who's going to touch Thomas County Central? 264 00:12:42.220 --> 00:12:46.389 And is Thomas County Central The best team in the 265 00:12:46.509 --> 00:12:47.149 state of Georgia. 266 00:12:48.970 --> 00:12:49.620 I'm just asking. 267 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.480 Best team in the state of Georgia. 268 00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:53.539 No. I'm talking about any classification. 269 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:55.480 No, but they're close. 270 00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:59.100 Okay. What would qualify that? 271 00:13:00.779 --> 00:13:03.960 Well, you still have some really elite teams out there. 272

00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.600 Carrollton's an elite team. Buford's certainly an elite team. 273 00:13:07.820 --> 00:13:08.019 Yeah. 274 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:11.169 So to be better or the best in the state 275 00:13:11.190 --> 00:13:13.190 of Georgia, that means that you would have to be 276 00:13:13.370 --> 00:13:16.029 better than Buford or Carrington. I just don't think they're there. 277 00:13:16.210 --> 00:13:18.580 They might be, but there's no way to see that 278 00:13:18.620 --> 00:13:19.529 unless they play them. 279 00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:20.500 You're correct. 280 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:22.559 That is correct. And it was kind of my point, Larry, 281 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:23.539 in bringing that up. 282 00:13:24.190 --> 00:13:25.809 You know, we can have these conversations. 283 00:13:25.870 --> 00:13:26.490 Who's best? 284 00:13:26.529 --> 00:13:27.190 Who's better? 285 00:13:27.289 --> 00:13:27.970 You're a better bet. 286 00:13:28.610 --> 00:13:31.850 It reminds me of the who. You better, you better, 287 00:13:31.870 --> 00:13:32.230 you bet. 288 00:13:32.549 --> 00:13:33.110 Right, right. 289 00:13:33.129 --> 00:13:35.370 You see all the music connections I'm making today, Larry? 290 00:13:35.669 --> 00:13:36.610 You see that, what I'm doing there? 291 00:13:36.629 --> 00:13:37.509 Yeah. 292 00:13:37.710 --> 00:13:39.750 And again, if you know, you know. If you're a 293 00:13:39.769 --> 00:13:42.210 who fan, do you like who? 294 00:13:44.750 --> 00:13:45.549 Do I like the who? 295 00:13:46.169 --> 00:13:48.289 Yeah. 296 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:50.580 No, I like the what, though. 297 00:13:52.340 --> 00:13:54.360 I knew you were going somewhere with that. 298 00:13:54.379 --> 00:13:56.740 That's pretty good, Larry. 299 00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:57.639 I love it. 300 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.139 And I'm very high on the how, you know? 301 00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:02.220 I love it. 302 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:06.029 He's coming right back with it. 303 00:14:09.009 --> 00:14:11.870 Cold Boy cracks me up. Cold saying LG is a hater. 304 00:14:12.269 --> 00:14:15.389 I'm a hater by saying TCC is one of the best. 305 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.409 I just don't think they're better than Buford or Carrollton. 306 00:14:18.570 --> 00:14:19.970 That makes me a hater nowadays. 307 00:14:19.990 --> 00:14:21.990 Well, again, it's just really hard to say. 308 00:14:22.070 --> 00:14:28.970 I mean, the ultimate test is if these teams play. 309 00:14:29.269 --> 00:14:31.009 Okay, that's the only way we're going to get there. 310 00:14:31.409 --> 00:14:33.539 I will say this, and I think this is a 311 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.700 fair question or statement, whatever you want to call it. 312 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.740 So, I believe right now. 313 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.720 In 7A, let's look at it this way. I think 314 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:49.460 in 7A, you've got Buford. North. 315 00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:51.820 Newton. 316 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:52.559 Yeah. 317 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:54.850 And maybe Roswell. Okay. 318 00:14:55.289 --> 00:14:58.070 In seven, a no knock on anybody. 319 00:14:59.009 --> 00:15:03.669 I just, I'm talking about teams that can truly compete 320 00:15:03.690 --> 00:15:07.169 for the state. Right. In six, a it's wide open. 321 00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:10.360 I think you've got, I think Creekside and TCC would 322 00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:13.259 be a great game. I think Roswell and TCC would 323 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.159 be a great game. I think, I think, listen, I 324 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.340 think coffee and TCC is going to be a really 325 00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:21.070 good game. 326 00:15:21.710 --> 00:15:24.950 Let me ask you a question, Phil, and our fans 327 00:15:24.990 --> 00:15:28.389 out there. As far as TCC goes, if, I mean, 328 00:15:28.409 --> 00:15:31.950 this is a big if, and it's hard to answer, 329 00:15:32.330 --> 00:15:38.250 almost impossible, but we all recognize that Aiden McPherson is 330 00:15:38.289 --> 00:15:42.820 a difference maker, right? I mean, that was evident. If 331 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:47.070 Aiden McPherson is not there this year, would Thomas County 332 00:15:47.110 --> 00:15:50.700 Central still be the same team that it is now? No. 333 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:55.080 I agree with you. And so that's why I say 334 00:15:55.179 --> 00:15:58.860 that it's hard for me to make the argument that 335 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:04.139 they're the best team, but you're one injury away from 336 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.409 a key player to not being the best team. And 337 00:16:07.610 --> 00:16:09.009 that's the struggle that you have. 338 00:16:09.490 --> 00:16:11.710 Yeah, a lot of people have been making that conversation, 339 00:16:11.769 --> 00:16:14.190 mostly privately to me today. And I want to make 340 00:16:14.230 --> 00:16:17.190 sure you understand what I'm saying. Now, nobody is coming 341 00:16:17.250 --> 00:16:20.960 out and saying, hey, you know, they're not a good team. 342 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:23.379 Without Aiden McPherson. That's not what anybody is saying. 343 00:16:23.460 --> 00:16:26.899 But the young man accounted for every single touchdown, and 344 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:32.730 he's good enough to do that. And so that's why 345 00:16:32.769 --> 00:16:36.179 I say call feet. would give because Coffey has got 346 00:16:36.259 --> 00:16:38.559 a really good defense, okay? 347 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.610 They just play old school football, ground control football. 348 00:16:43.029 --> 00:16:45.389 And so I think that kind of team could give, 349 00:16:45.429 --> 00:16:47.070 with a lot of size, could give TCC. 350 00:16:47.909 --> 00:16:49.169 Like you said, here's what it's going to take. 351 00:16:49.750 --> 00:16:51.950 Yeah, if the quarterback has one bad game, I think 352 00:16:51.990 --> 00:16:55.429 it's going to exploit some things with TCC. Now, again, 353 00:16:55.490 --> 00:16:58.879 I want to

make sure everybody understands what I'm saying. 354 00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:02.610 You know, That may give some of these other playmakers 355 00:17:02.690 --> 00:17:05.130 a chance. I don't think they've got the same playmakers 356 00:17:05.170 --> 00:17:08.789 like they did last year, but again, they're playing really well, 357 00:17:08.809 --> 00:17:11.170 but they've got, and you guys know what I say 358 00:17:11.210 --> 00:17:12.730 about quarterbacks all the time. 359 00:17:14.089 --> 00:17:18.029 What do I say about quarterbacks all the time? You are. 360 00:17:18.849 --> 00:17:22.480 As good as your quarterback is your team. Okay. 361 00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:24.819 You are as good as your quarterback will take you. 362 00:17:24.859 --> 00:17:25.930 However you want to phrase it. 363 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:26.740 Right. 364 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.140 And there was no clear reason. 365 00:17:30.450 --> 00:17:37.900 Definition or proof of that than Friday night in Leesburg, Georgia, brother. 366 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.160 And if you don't believe it, you're just fooling yourself. 367 00:17:41.859 --> 00:17:45.400 So, Phil, I think we've seen on the other side, 368 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.259 you know, there was another team that played Friday night, 369 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.150 Lee County. And, you know, Lee County is a good 370 00:17:52.250 --> 00:17:54.750 football team, but I see a trend with Lee County, 371 00:17:54.829 --> 00:17:58.329 and it's reared its head in probably most of their 372 00:17:58.369 --> 00:18:03.569 games this year where– they tend to shoot themselves in 373 00:18:03.589 --> 00:18:07.450 the foot and get down early against multiple teams and 374 00:18:07.490 --> 00:18:11.700 then try their mightiest to claw and scratch their way back. 375 00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:14.720 And against lesser teams, they were able to do– I 376 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:17.259 shouldn't call some of the teams they played lesser, but 377 00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:23.809 if they try to do that with someone like a central, 378 00:18:24.029 --> 00:18:26.410 it's not going to go well the vast majority of 379 00:18:26.430 --> 00:18:29.170 the time. So is this– I'm talking about Lee County. 380 00:18:29.529 --> 00:18:33.630 Is this a trend that they're either going to fix 381 00:18:34.630 --> 00:18:37.210 or is it going to plague them all year long 382 00:18:37.250 --> 00:18:39.829 where they fall behind early and have to try to 383 00:18:40.329 --> 00:18:44.650 storm back? Unless Dean gets that fixed, they may be 384 00:18:44.769 --> 00:18:46.609 in some trouble later on in the season. 385 00:18:46.990 --> 00:18:51.900 I encourage everybody to take a look at my conversation 386 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.039 I had earlier today with Dean Fabrizio. Again, that was 387 00:18:55.099 --> 00:18:58.420 the Lee County Coaches Show. I encourage everybody to take 388 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.359 a look at it. We went about 20 minutes. And 389 00:19:01.819 --> 00:19:07.049 Fabrizio talked about the things that he thought went wrong. Now, 390 00:19:07.210 --> 00:19:09.630 you make a good point. I actually brought that up. 391 00:19:10.009 --> 00:19:11.349 I'll go ahead and kind of give you a sneak 392 00:19:11.410 --> 00:19:18.049 peek into what Fabrizio said. He thought his players didn't 393 00:19:18.089 --> 00:19:27.599 handle the big play, the big game environment very well. Right. 394 00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:32.369 Follow me, Larry? Yeah. Yeah. He just said he didn't 395 00:19:32.410 --> 00:19:38.950 think his players handled all of the big game pomp 396 00:19:39.029 --> 00:19:42.160 and circumstance. He didn't think they handled it very well. 397 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.440 Thought they'd come out, may have been a little over-amped. 398 00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:46.119 You know what I mean? 399 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.420 And as soon as things started going south, he thought 400 00:19:50.460 --> 00:19:54.450 the players didn't react very well. Now, you know, but 401 00:19:54.470 --> 00:19:56.670 you guys can make some good points. You know, it 402 00:19:56.710 --> 00:20:00.069 was kind of that way in the Sequoia game. Now, 403 00:20:00.089 --> 00:20:02.009 I think that's the game you're referring to, right? 404 00:20:02.589 --> 00:20:05.289 Well, they did that against Sequoia. They did it against 405 00:20:05.309 --> 00:20:05.890 Carroll City. 406 00:20:05.910 --> 00:20:05.980 Yes. 407 00:20:06.470 --> 00:20:06.670 Yes. 408 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:08.220 Right, good point, Larry. 409 00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:11.259 So that's three, could be possibly four games they've done 410 00:20:11.420 --> 00:20:11.880 that this year. 411 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.440 Good point, Larry. I forgot about that. So you're right, Larry. 412 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.549 That could be a mindset where they come out, like, 413 00:20:18.650 --> 00:20:22.369 with no sense of urgency. And I don't know. Maybe 414 00:20:22.390 --> 00:20:24.509 that's too harsh. But I think maybe it's one of 415 00:20:24.529 --> 00:20:26.970 these deals where, hey, we know we can turn it on. 416 00:20:26.990 --> 00:20:30.450 Everybody be cool. We'll just flip a switch and turn 417 00:20:30.490 --> 00:20:32.680 it on. Well, the problem was those other teams wouldn't 418 00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.359 Thomas County Central. 419 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.000 Right. 420 00:20:35.289 --> 00:20:39.589 So, Stephen Tate, what's up, Stephen? Speaking of coffee high school, 421 00:20:39.630 --> 00:20:44.119 coffee fan, Stephen Tate says, we are tailgating this Friday 422 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.000 for the coffee league game. And I'll tell you what, 423 00:20:47.819 --> 00:20:50.019 Lee County, it's like, you know, we talked about Fabrizio today. 424 00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.359 You know, don't let TCC beat you twice. You know, 425 00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:55.829 Lee County has got to put that TCC game behind 426 00:20:55.849 -->

00:20:58.349 them and they got to get ready for coffee. I'm 427 00:20:58.450 --> 00:21:03.150 telling you, okay, you guys can laugh. Coffee is a good, 428 00:21:03.589 --> 00:21:07.279 solid football team. By the way, I've got to take 429 00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:09.299 a shot because I love all the people who doubt me. 430 00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:13.279 Last year, everybody was doubting me on Irwin County. I 431 00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:14.500 told you Irwin County was not going to be any 432 00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:16.700 good last year, and they weren't. And so I had 433 00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:21.359 the last laugh. So I predicted Cedartown, who was 2-8 434 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:24.500 last year. I predicted this year they were going to 435 00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:27.670 be a top-10 team. Oh, man, you should have heard 436 00:21:27.769 --> 00:21:32.670 the jokesters. Do you know what you're talking about? You 437 00:21:32.710 --> 00:21:37.990 must have just started watching high school football. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, 438 00:21:38.029 --> 00:21:41.049 lo and behold, looky, looky, looky. 439 00:21:41.750 --> 00:21:42.690 Here comes Cookie. 440 00:21:44.670 --> 00:21:48.190 Cedartown is now, I think, 5-1, and they beat an 441 00:21:48.289 --> 00:21:51.130 undefeated Dalton team, went to overtime the other night and 442 00:21:51.150 --> 00:21:53.490 did it. But the point being is I've had Cedartown 443 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:55.720 ranked all year, and everybody keeps saying, oh, just wait 444 00:21:55.740 --> 00:21:58.880 until next week. Just wait until next week. So, anyway, 445 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:00.799 I just had to get that out of my system. Because, 446 00:22:00.859 --> 00:22:02.920 you know, I like when people– if you want to 447 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:08.130 bring the– the, if you want to bring it, I'm 448 00:22:08.150 --> 00:22:10.359 going to wind up bringing the receipts. Sure. And that's 449 00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:10.740 what I did. 450 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:12.680 So anyway, I just want to get that off my chest, Larry. 451 00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:14.599 I hear you, man. 452 00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:17.160 I hear you. All right. 453 00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:19.900 So let's go back to some of the comments. Uh, 454 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:21.539 let's see what we got there. 455 00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.240 You want to read some of these? 456 00:22:23.549 --> 00:22:26.970 Yeah. So, uh, let's see. Steven Tate says we're tailgating 457 00:22:26.990 --> 00:22:29.549 this Friday for the coffee Lee County. I don't doubt 458 00:22:29.569 --> 00:22:33.490 it at all. Steven Tate, you guys are, I wonder, 459 00:22:33.730 --> 00:22:34.369 you know, uh. 460 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.839 Best tailgaters in the world, man. I promise you. 461 00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.440 I know you like to call out or highlight the 462 00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:44.940 biggest fans of the games, but I wonder who's got 463 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:50.339 the best tailgaters of all the teams. Steven Tate has 464 00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:51.019 got to be up there. 465 00:22:51.619 --> 00:22:55.839 Steven Tate and those guys, I am telling you, you've 466 00:22:55.880 --> 00:23:01.549 never seen anything like it. I'm talking about casseroles. I'm 467 00:23:01.589 --> 00:23:07.829 talking about prime rib. I'm talking about desserts, cookies, cheesecakes. 468 00:23:10.630 --> 00:23:13.759 I would love to see a competition as far as 469 00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:20.400 tailgating between Stephen Tate for coffee and Tom Cosby at Lowndes. 470 00:23:22.630 --> 00:23:25.049 Those two are some great tailgaters. 471 00:23:25.390 --> 00:23:26.349 Oh, yes, yes, Tom. 472 00:23:26.410 --> 00:23:27.970 What am I thinking? Yes, Tom Cosby. 473 00:23:27.990 --> 00:23:29.880 Let me tell you about Tom. Tom and him get 474 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:32.920 started like at 8 o'clock in the morning on game day. 475 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.859 They're out there all stinking day. 476 00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:39.079 They really are. And, I mean, they bring the goods too. 477 00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:43.000 But still, Stephen Tate is up there. I think he's unparalleled, man. 478 00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:45.500 I think he's unmatched. But, all right, so let's talk 479 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.380 about some of the other big games that took place. 480 00:23:49.970 --> 00:23:53.269 that took place around the state this past weekend. You 481 00:23:53.289 --> 00:23:55.750 guys can talk about any game you want to. Buford, obviously, 482 00:23:55.809 --> 00:23:59.210 they keep rolling. I tell you, is Carrollton the best 483 00:23:59.250 --> 00:24:00.970 team in the state? Well, we've got a few teams 484 00:24:01.009 --> 00:24:04.779 here that I think deserve the best team in the 485 00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.819 state consideration. Listen, I said it way back at the 486 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:11.759 beginning of the season. I think Carrollton, this might be 487 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.680 their year. But you know what? Until somebody knocks them off. 488 00:24:17.809 --> 00:24:22.619 Buford is your defending state champion and your defending national champion. 489 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.960 The way it is. 490 00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:26.000 Well, Larry. 491 00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:31.680 Speaking of getting knocked off, how about Fitzgerald going down? Yep. 492 00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.859 To a very good, you know, we all suspected, well, shoot, 493 00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:37.759 we all knew that Jeff Davis was going to be 494 00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:40.910 a good team this year, but I did not expect 495 00:24:40.950 --> 00:24:42.089 them to beat Fitzgerald. 496 00:24:43.250 --> 00:24:47.349 No, you know what, let me say this. I think 497 00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:50.640 And this is where Lee County has got to be careful. Okay. 498 00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:56.720 I think with Fitzgerald, I think that battle the previous 499 00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:58.099

week against Worth County. 500 00:24:58.559 --> 00:24:58.779 Yeah. 501 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:01.539 Say what you want to about Worth. Yeah, they're down 502 00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.099 a little bit this year. But Jeff Hammond is one 503 00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.519 of the best offensive coaches, one of the best motivators. 504 00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:11.480 And he had his team absolutely motivated to the hilt 505 00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:14.660 to play that game. It was a very physical game, Larry. 506 00:25:15.210 --> 00:25:18.640 And I think sometimes it takes a lot out of 507 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.000 a team. Those two teams went at each other. 25-20, 508 00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:26.880 if you'll remember, the final score. Fitzgerald beats Worth County, 509 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:31.089 but it was an absolute battle. Now, I say that 510 00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:35.289 to say I think Fitzgerald didn't leave anything out there, 511 00:25:35.430 --> 00:25:37.950 and it drained them in that game. And now they're 512 00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:40.750 coming back playing a Jeff Davis team, and I think 513 00:25:40.789 --> 00:25:43.049 the tank may have been a little empty toward the 514 00:25:43.069 --> 00:25:45.220 end of that game. And I think it showed– because 515 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:47.259 that was– listen, that was not a one-point win. That 516 00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:48.779 was a very impressive win by Jeff Davis. 517 00:25:49.900 --> 00:25:53.740 It really was. It was almost a– what? It was 518 00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.940 almost a ten-point– what, nine-point– 29-20. That's right. So, the 519 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:02.579 thing about Jeff Davis, they're not fancy on offense. You 520 00:26:02.619 --> 00:26:04.519 know what they're going to do. They're going to line up. 521 00:26:04.569 --> 00:26:07.029 They're going to run it right at you. They've thrown 522 00:26:07.250 --> 00:26:10.470 very few times this whole year. I think I read 523 00:26:10.509 --> 00:26:14.259 a stat where– I think it was their quarterback, Mark Durden. 524 00:26:14.779 --> 00:26:18.319 I think that's his name. He had almost 500 yards 525 00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:22.039 rushing this year, five touchdowns. Their running back, true running back, 526 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.880 Kobe Hill, had 345 yards himself. So you're talking two 527 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:31.480 guys approaching 900 yards on the ground this year. And 528 00:26:31.569 --> 00:26:34.789 so there's no mystery what Jeff Day was going to do. 529 00:26:34.849 --> 00:26:38.000 But even knowing what they were going to do, the 530 00:26:38.099 --> 00:26:40.880 way they were able to control the line of scrimmage 531 00:26:40.900 --> 00:26:43.099 against Fitzgerald was the surprising thing to me. 532 00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:48.359 Jamie Ledger has got a question. With Worth and Carver 533 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.259 going through some struggles in non-region games, in y'all's opinion, 534 00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:58.210 are they still the favorites to win Region 1-3-8? Thomasville's 535 00:26:58.230 --> 00:26:58.930 in that region, right? 536 00:27:00.970 --> 00:27:02.650 Which region was that? 537 00:27:02.670 --> 00:27:03.869 1-3-8. I got that. 538 00:27:03.990 --> 00:27:07.230 Thomasville is in... 1AA this year. 539 00:27:07.250 --> 00:27:07.470 I believe. 540 00:27:07.549 --> 00:27:08.529 Okay, I can't remember. 541 00:27:08.549 --> 00:27:11.009 I can't keep up. Tell me who all is in 542 00:27:11.049 --> 00:27:14.799 Region 138. Guys, I do all these rankings and stuff. 543 00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:15.539 I just can't keep up. 544 00:27:16.180 --> 00:27:18.059 Yeah, hold on. I'll give you that in a second. 545 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:18.619 Yeah, please do. 546 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:25.589 All right, while you do that, Cole Moore, who's giving– 547 00:27:25.859 --> 00:27:26.920 everybody's giving them a pass. 548 00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:30.769 Who are you talking about? I'm not sure. I thought 549 00:27:30.829 --> 00:27:33.930 everybody was praising Thomas County Central this year. 550 00:27:36.349 --> 00:27:41.470 Yeah, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Stephen Tate says, 551 00:27:41.609 --> 00:27:45.430 Glenn Reed, Keon Powell, Rodney Johnson, DeMond, Kroon, we are 552 00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:47.950 all together. I got you, Stephen. What happened to– hold 553 00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:52.579 on a second, Larry. Stephen Tate, what happened to– what's 554 00:27:52.619 --> 00:27:53.319 his name? Hey, buddy? 555 00:27:56.539 --> 00:27:59.940 Who am I thinking of? Stephen, who's your– Collins, yeah, 556 00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:05.890 Buddy McDaniel. That's him. Collins, yeah, buddy, McDaniel. What happened 557 00:28:05.930 --> 00:28:06.230 to him? 558 00:28:06.250 --> 00:28:08.190 Oh, I hadn't seen that guy in a while. Where's 559 00:28:08.230 --> 00:28:08.589 he been? 560 00:28:08.829 --> 00:28:10.529 That's what I was asking. He used to be right 561 00:28:10.549 --> 00:28:11.769 there in the middle of that tailgate. 562 00:28:11.829 --> 00:28:12.970 He was a big beans guy. 563 00:28:13.549 --> 00:28:16.509 Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I think of three guys from 564 00:28:17.049 --> 00:28:19.710 Coffee County, I'm talking about big fans. You got Stephen Tate, 565 00:28:19.730 --> 00:28:21.869 you got Chris Pace, and then Collins. 566 00:28:23.049 --> 00:28:23.509 Yeah, buddy. 567 00:28:24.089 --> 00:28:24.630 Yeah, buddy. 568 00:28:24.670 --> 00:28:27.529 Yeah, buddy. I think that's his legal name. 569 00:28:28.210 --> 00:28:30.150 Could be. Might be on his driver's license. 570 00:28:31.670 --> 00:28:33.029 Larry, you're catching on in my humor. 571 00:28:33.049 --> 00:28:34.089 You got your dropping blocks? 572 00:28:34.109 --> 00:28:37.289 Yeah, buddy. Larry's catching on in my humor pretty good now. 573 00:28:37.369 --> 00:28:41.109 I mean, nothing phases you like it used to. All right, Larry. Larry, 574 00:28:41.130 --> 00:28:41.589 what you got? 575

00:28:42.190 --> 00:28:47.630 One triple A. Carver, Columbus, Crisp County, Jordan, Kendrick, Sumter County, 576 00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:48.690 Worth County. 577 00:28:49.470 --> 00:28:50.599 I think that's Jordan, isn't it? 578 00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:54.740 Jordan, Jordan, depending on what part of Georgia you're from. 579 00:28:55.309 --> 00:28:57.430 Yeah, well, you know, that's the way that Jordan-Hare Stadium, 580 00:28:57.450 --> 00:28:59.539 you know, I don't know if there's a connection there. 581 00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:01.420 But anyway, I got you. So who is it again, Larry, 582 00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:01.940 one more time? 583 00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:09.940 So you got Carver-Columbus, Chris County, Jordan, Kendrick, Sumter, Worth County. 584 00:29:14.029 --> 00:29:18.250 No, to be honest with you guys, I wouldn't be 585 00:29:18.289 --> 00:29:19.769 surprised to see Chris. 586 00:29:24.349 --> 00:29:26.569 Do you think it's going to hurt Worth this year 587 00:29:26.609 --> 00:29:28.630 just stepping up to AAA? 588 00:29:31.390 --> 00:29:34.890 Well, it looks like it already has. But you've got 589 00:29:34.910 --> 00:29:36.829 to realize, he lost a lot. 590 00:29:37.269 --> 00:29:39.509 Sure. You know, I mean, that was a big time 591 00:29:39.529 --> 00:29:41.750 state championship team last year. 592 00:29:41.769 --> 00:29:46.519 And listen, Jim Hammond, again, another one of the coaching 593 00:29:46.539 --> 00:29:47.240 shows that I do. 594 00:29:48.299 --> 00:29:52.119 So it's invaluable doing these coaching shows like this because 595 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.349 I get really the skin, the absolute skinning from these coaches. 596 00:29:55.529 --> 00:29:57.230 I mean, I get it. And I don't. 597 00:29:58.329 --> 00:30:01.210 I ask the important questions. I ask all the pertinent stuff. 598 00:30:01.269 --> 00:30:03.369 And so you kind of get an idea very quickly 599 00:30:03.809 --> 00:30:06.250 of what's going on. And, you know, I can remember 600 00:30:07.450 --> 00:30:08.900 Coach Jeff Hammond told me at the beginning of the year, 601 00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.759 he said, you know what, we lost a lot. But 602 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.319 they battle and they have battled. And so, you know, 603 00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:17.880 it's just one of them things. You lose a lot 604 00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:20.240 of talent. The thing that gets me is, you know, 605 00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:23.180 Lennon Worthy is having a little bit of an off year. 606 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:25.190 And I'm not saying he's having a bad season, but, 607 00:30:25.349 --> 00:30:29.380 you know, compared to his standards, He's not the Lindenworthy 608 00:30:29.390 --> 00:30:30.980 like we've seen. And, man, I'm going to tell you, 609 00:30:30.990 --> 00:30:35.240 I don't know who they've got on deck circle ready 610 00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:37.680 to take over for quarterback at Worth County. But, man, 611 00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:43.000 Lindenworthy is a special, special player. 612 00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:48.759 So, Phil, Barry Grant has a question that says, has 613 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.970 the PSR ranking been updated? Yes, it has. Yes, it has. 614 00:30:53.660 --> 00:30:55.079 OK, well, now let me say something about this. 615 00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:59.079 OK, the PSR, you got to be careful because this 616 00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:05.470 thing is it's an ongoing thing to keep up with. OK, 617 00:31:06.230 --> 00:31:09.130 Todd Holcomb and I looked at it because we were 618 00:31:09.210 --> 00:31:13.859 wondering why it was changing so frequently. And, you know, 619 00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:16.759 Todd Holcomb is up there pretty close to the source 620 00:31:16.779 --> 00:31:17.279 of everything. 621 00:31:17.970 --> 00:31:19.789 He's been around a long time. He's a sharp, sharp guy. 622 00:31:19.809 --> 00:31:21.130 Y'all know Todd from AJC. 623 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:22.940 Todd told me, he said, you know what, I think 624 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.240 I've got this PSR thing figured out. He said in 625 00:31:26.299 --> 00:31:29.660 talking with GHC, he said, you know, the problem is 626 00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:32.640 they don't get updated scores. They have to have official 627 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:38.089 scores from athletic directors and or coaches. Okay. 628 00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:41.210 And some are faster than others. Right. 629 00:31:41.490 --> 00:31:43.009 And so that delays everything. 630 00:31:43.849 --> 00:31:46.900 Because they're not going to post anything unless they have 631 00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:51.920 an official score. Okay. So that's something to keep in mind. 632 00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:55.789 It's just, you know, that could delay the PSR. So 633 00:31:55.829 --> 00:31:57.190 if you go on Friday night and see where your 634 00:31:57.210 --> 00:31:58.950 team is, you're probably not going to have an updated 635 00:31:58.990 --> 00:31:59.450 version of it. 636 00:32:00.210 --> 00:32:03.210 Field, that thing might have been updated three times today. 637 00:32:03.670 --> 00:32:04.900 It just got updated at 6-21. 638 00:32:04.890 --> 00:32:11.539 Again. Yeah, for you guys, again, the problem is coaches 639 00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:15.940 are sending in updated scores, and so that happens all 640 00:32:16.059 --> 00:32:18.240 throughout the week, believe it or not. It's not all 641 00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:21.079 happening like on Saturday or Sunday, and that's coming into 642 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:25.140 the GHSA. So, okay, let's look at. 643 00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:27.799 Some of these others. So some fans are upset. It's like, 644 00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:30.480 how come they don't update them fast enough? It's like, guys, 645 00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:34.789 they play the games on Fridays. They're going home. They're 646 00:32:34.809 --> 00:32:37.349 tired just like you are. They're taking a day off 647 00:32:37.450 --> 00:32:40.509 on Saturday. They're getting back at it on Sunday,

doing 648 00:32:40.549 --> 00:32:44.849 their game planning for the week. And it's okay to 649 00:32:44.890 --> 00:32:49.059 wait until Monday to have this thing updated. Yeah, absolutely. 650 00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.099 Okay, so Milton beats John Creek. 651 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:54.140 Now, remember, we've got a lot of these games, teams 652 00:32:54.940 --> 00:32:59.380 are just entering the region portion of their schedule. Remember, though, guys, 653 00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:02.339 I've got to remind everybody, because I'm catching myself in 654 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:06.380 this same trap. Remember now, the regions are not the 655 00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:10.099 first to top four in the playoffs anymore. Your region 656 00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:15.059 champion will automatically get in, of course. But Larry, other 657 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:18.700 than that, there really is no guarantee that you may 658 00:33:18.740 --> 00:33:21.769 not have more than one other than the region champion. 659 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.109 You may not have anybody in your region except the 660 00:33:24.130 --> 00:33:25.309 region champion make the playoffs. 661 00:33:26.190 --> 00:33:30.430 Phil, here's the thing that might catch some fans by 662 00:33:30.470 --> 00:33:35.390 surprise at the end of the season. You could have 663 00:33:35.509 --> 00:33:39.089 a team that is number 31 or 32 in the 664 00:33:39.130 --> 00:33:44.460 state not make the playoffs. It's like, Larry, how is that? Well, 665 00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:49.960 here's how. The only guarantee is if you win your region, 666 00:33:50.819 --> 00:33:55.539 you're going to be in. You could have a 3-7 record, 667 00:33:55.619 --> 00:33:58.329 and if you win your region, you're going to be in. 668 00:33:59.049 --> 00:34:00.329 That's the only guarantee. 669 00:34:00.349 --> 00:34:01.190 Yeah. 670 00:34:02.130 --> 00:34:05.950 Furthermore, if you win your region, you're guaranteed a spot 671 00:34:06.150 --> 00:34:10.809 in the top 16. So you're hosting a first-round playoff. 672 00:34:11.690 --> 00:34:15.369 So how does that affect some of those lower-seeded teams, 673 00:34:15.369 --> 00:34:18.949 31 and 32? Well, if one of those teams that 674 00:34:19.010 --> 00:34:22.650 wins the region was not in the first 32, by 675 00:34:22.869 --> 00:34:25.400 jumping over these other teams, they're going to knock a 676 00:34:25.429 --> 00:34:28.960 couple teams out. That's how it could happen. Okay. 677 00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:30.599 Now, that's interesting. 678 00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:31.239 Yeah. 679 00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:33.539 Very interesting. 680 00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:38.690 Okay, so Gainesville. Gainesville wins. Roswell, who I've talked about, 681 00:34:38.769 --> 00:34:43.389 Roswell wins. They beat Lanier. There's a couple of teams 682 00:34:43.429 --> 00:34:45.269 that are kind of on the bubble for me. And 683 00:34:45.309 --> 00:34:50.900 let me tell you what I'm talking about there. Langston Hughes, okay. 684 00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:53.119 I don't really know what to think about Langston Hughes. 685 00:34:53.619 --> 00:34:58.460 Douglas County, really not sold on them yet as well. 686 00:34:58.949 --> 00:35:01.710 I think you've got some up-and-coming teams that could change 687 00:35:01.769 --> 00:35:05.510 the scope in Class 7A. And by that, I mean 688 00:35:05.530 --> 00:35:07.900 you've got, of course, hold on. 689 00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:10.739 Just a second. 690 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:14.340 You've got North Cobb, who's very quietly starting to sneak 691 00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:18.420 back into the overall playoff picture. Yeah. 692 00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:21.739 Well, Phil, you called it on Douglas County. A lot 693 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:23.900 of people were high on Douglas County because of what 694 00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:25.900 they'd been able to do the last couple years. But 695 00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:29.099 you said they lost a lot of talent. And so 696 00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:31.019 they're going to go through some growing pains this year, 697 00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:33.760 and that's exactly what's happening. They're sitting here at 3-2 now. 698 00:35:34.699 --> 00:35:36.360 Yep, exactly. And that's what I mean. 699 00:35:36.380 --> 00:35:37.619 You've got a lot of these teams that are kind 700 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:38.409 of on the cusp. 701 00:35:38.469 --> 00:35:41.949 You know, you've got Brookwood that is making a resurgence 702 00:35:42.050 --> 00:35:44.989 in 7A. You've got Westlake. You know, you thought that 703 00:35:45.050 --> 00:35:48.969 Westlake was almost gone. You know, they're 5-0. 704 00:35:49.329 --> 00:35:50.409 I'm still not. 705 00:35:50.309 --> 00:35:52.610 Sure if they're the Westlake of old, but we'll see. 706 00:35:53.550 --> 00:35:56.369 Colquitt County. How about Colquitt County just kind of hanging around? 707 00:35:56.710 --> 00:35:59.409 But we're going to see just exactly how good Sean 708 00:35:59.449 --> 00:36:03.849 Calhoun's team is once region play begins. I know it's 709 00:36:03.929 --> 00:36:06.070 not quite as important as it always has been in 710 00:36:06.090 --> 00:36:07.969 the past. But, Larry, how do you think– you know, 711 00:36:07.989 --> 00:36:10.449 we talked about this in the very beginning. And I 712 00:36:10.489 --> 00:36:13.619 want to get everybody else's opinion on this. We talked 713 00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.619 about it at the start of the season about 1-7-8. 714 00:36:15.619 --> 00:36:20.900 We were critiquing 1-7-8. I talked about Camden County. Well, 715 00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:26.179 I was probably wrong, you know, with all due respect. 716 00:36:26.690 --> 00:36:29.510 I just think that Tucker Pruitt, this is a transition 717 00:36:29.530 --> 00:36:32.170 year for Tucker Pruitt, so I don't think they're going 718 00:36:32.190 --> 00:36:33.909 to be as strong as I thought they would. But 719 00:36:34.269 --> 00:36:37.349 outside of Camden, are you making it to Camden

if 720 00:36:37.369 --> 00:36:39.769 you want to? Who do you see as the real 721 00:36:39.829 --> 00:36:40.829 contenders in this region? 722 00:36:42.739 --> 00:36:45.539 You're asking me? Yeah. Who do I see as the 723 00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:51.260 real contenders in this region? With five weeks into this thing. 724 00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:52.519 Greg, I'm going to come back. 725 00:36:52.539 --> 00:36:53.760 Greg Handel, I'm going to come back to your comment, 726 00:36:53.780 --> 00:36:54.219 by the way. 727 00:36:54.260 --> 00:36:54.539 Hang on. 728 00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:59.880 It's still the big three. right? Valdosta is probably the 729 00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:04.260 favorite right now. Lowndes is a close second, and then 730 00:37:04.340 --> 00:37:08.190 Colquitt is a close third. Now, we'll see after the 731 00:37:08.329 --> 00:37:12.789 first region game, because none of us play each other. Well, 732 00:37:12.849 --> 00:37:16.150 I know. I think Colquitt and Valdosta play in a 733 00:37:16.170 --> 00:37:18.090 couple of weeks, right? GPP is supposed to be there 734 00:37:18.110 --> 00:37:21.380 in Moultrie for that game. That is correct. So we'll 735 00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:24.820 see in a hurry once region play starts. But the 736 00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:29.210 surprise to me so far out of this region is 737 00:37:29.630 --> 00:37:32.650 how some of our teams got it wrong when it 738 00:37:32.690 --> 00:37:36.889 comes to PSR scheduling. That's the biggest surprise to me. 739 00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:44.059 Well, but, Larry, is it a surprise? 740 00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:45.400 It is. 741 00:37:47.460 --> 00:37:51.699 But, see, I'm not surprised because, Larry, I don't think 742 00:37:51.989 --> 00:37:54.409 anybody– and I'm talking about the state is full of 743 00:37:54.530 --> 00:37:58.989 really smart coaches– Let me say it this way. Okay. 744 00:37:59.590 --> 00:38:04.969 There's a lot of really good coaches in this state. Agree? Sure. Yeah. 745 00:38:04.989 --> 00:38:07.550 But I think when it comes to the PSR, it 746 00:38:07.590 --> 00:38:11.530 was the great unknown. I don't think there were any real, 747 00:38:11.780 --> 00:38:14.909 I don't think many coaches and athletic directors for that, 748 00:38:15.050 --> 00:38:18.719 for that, as far as that goes, I don't think 749 00:38:18.940 --> 00:38:20.840 any of us really, and I even kept me in 750 00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:22.960 that conversation. So that's why I don't know if your 751 00:38:22.980 --> 00:38:25.829 comment is fair. I don't think anybody really had a 752 00:38:25.889 --> 00:38:30.989 true master, a real hand on how to best take 753 00:38:31.010 --> 00:38:34.320 advantage of scheduling as it affects your PSR. 754 00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:39.619 Well, they just didn't listen to either this show or 755 00:38:39.659 --> 00:38:42.139 my show because I explained. 756 00:38:41.659 --> 00:38:45.369 It to them. Well, you know, that's pretty good. So, 757 00:38:45.389 --> 00:38:47.889 I mean, you look at, you know, look at, you know, 758 00:38:47.929 --> 00:38:49.989 Brian Applin, for example. Yeah. Okay. 759 00:38:50.550 --> 00:38:51.250 Now, look. 760 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.460 Brian Appling and Buford are going to play the best 761 00:38:54.500 --> 00:38:58.619 of the best. That's what really good teams do. Well, unfortunately, 762 00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.980 they're now suffering because of it. But a lot of 763 00:39:02.019 --> 00:39:07.099 that has come from their opponents not playing up to 764 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:07.820 their potential. 765 00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:17.679 Well, yes and no. Buford is being hurt by a 766 00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:18.360 couple of things. 767 00:39:19.590 --> 00:39:22.550 By the way, where did Kerry go? Where did Kerry 768 00:39:22.590 --> 00:39:24.510 and Big Buford go? Go ahead, Larry. 769 00:39:24.630 --> 00:39:25.630 I'm just kind of wondering if they ought to be 770 00:39:25.650 --> 00:39:26.409 in this conversation. 771 00:39:27.349 --> 00:39:29.889 So here's the thing about Buford. If you take a look. 772 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:33.119 Buford is being hurt by a couple things. The one 773 00:39:33.139 --> 00:39:38.760 thing that sticks out to me is their opponent's winning percentage. Okay? 774 00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.769 Their opponent's winning percentage collectively is at 40%. 775 00:39:42.769 --> 00:39:45.690 776 00:39:45.730 --> 00:39:47.010 Hold on. I'm sorry. 777 00:39:47.269 --> 00:39:49.090 You did not have my full attention. Can you start over? 778 00:39:49.110 --> 00:39:49.769 Okay. 779 00:39:50.380 --> 00:39:53.039 So Buford's being hurt by two things when it comes 780 00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:58.110 to the PSR. Okay. Okay. They're hurt, one, by their 781 00:39:58.190 --> 00:40:01.190 opponent's winning percentage. Remember, that's a third of the formula, right? 782 00:40:01.630 --> 00:40:01.789 Right. 783 00:40:01.829 --> 00:40:05.730 So their opponents collectively have a winning percentage of 40%. 784 00:40:05.730 --> 00:40:09.010 Well, that's what I meant when I said their opponents 785 00:40:09.030 --> 00:40:11.309 wasn't handling their, you know, holding up their end of 786 00:40:11.329 --> 00:40:11.750 the bargain. 787 00:40:12.110 --> 00:40:14.030 But here's a part two to that. 788 00:40:14.389 --> 00:40:14.639 Okay. Okay. 789 00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:18.800 They're also being hurt by their insistence on playing these 790 00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:23.760 out-of-state opponents. Ah. Because they get the credit for the win, 791 00:40:24.260 --> 00:40:28.630 but they're– I shouldn't call them out-of-state opponents. They're non-GHSA opponents. 792 00:40:28.730 --> 00:40:29.610 Could be in-state. 793 00:40:30.070 --> 00:40:30.230 Yeah. 794 00:40:30.570 --> 00:40:34.349 Their non-GHSA opponents don't count in the other two-thirds of 795 00:40:34.389 --> 00:40:34.929 the formula. 796 00:40:35.670 --> 00:40:37.170 Yeah, that's a dagger there. 797

00:40:37.929 --> 00:40:41.050 Yeah. So that's why. So you could have a Mallard 798 00:40:41.070 --> 00:40:43.679 Creek that's tearing it up in the Carolinas, and you 799 00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:46.670 could have– Who else do they play, Carroll City or 800 00:40:46.730 --> 00:40:47.309 Miami Central? 801 00:40:47.769 --> 00:40:49.150 Yeah, well, who? 802 00:40:50.030 --> 00:40:50.369 Buford. 803 00:40:51.230 --> 00:40:54.150 Yeah, Miami Central, the Rockets. 804 00:40:54.329 --> 00:40:56.030 So Miami Central could be tearing it up in the 805 00:40:56.050 --> 00:40:58.949 state of Florida, but they don't get credit for how 806 00:40:58.989 --> 00:41:02.239 their opponents do unless they're a GHSA member. 807 00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:07.440 Interesting. Obadiah Farley wants to know, question for the podcast, 808 00:41:07.460 --> 00:41:09.260 Friday night, what team really impressed you? 809 00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:14.159 What was that? What did he ask? 810 00:41:14.739 --> 00:41:18.059 Obadiah Farley wants to know a question for us. Uh, 811 00:41:18.460 --> 00:41:22.699 let's meet you Friday night. What team really impressed you? 812 00:41:23.130 --> 00:41:27.349 Obviously TCC. I mean, I think that's obvious to everybody, um, 813 00:41:27.389 --> 00:41:32.570 because that was a really good quality opponent that TCC handled, but, uh, 814 00:41:32.969 --> 00:41:34.250 and you guys can answer this as well. 815 00:41:34.269 --> 00:41:35.050 Larry, what do you think? 816 00:41:37.170 --> 00:41:41.429 Uh, what team impressed me most this past Friday night? 817 00:41:41.849 --> 00:41:42.050 Yeah. 818 00:41:42.769 --> 00:41:48.590 Yeah. Um, other than, you know, obviously I'm going to 819 00:41:48.630 --> 00:41:50.750 say central first, and then I'm going to give a 820 00:41:50.769 --> 00:41:53.719 part two to this central, not the fact that they won. 821 00:41:53.739 --> 00:41:55.760 Cause I predicted they win. I just thought it would 822 00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:58.940 be a much closer margin, but the manner in which 823 00:41:59.019 --> 00:41:59.420 they won. 824 00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:00.860 Okay. 825 00:42:01.019 --> 00:42:05.199 It was a total domination. Now Lee County had their shots, 826 00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:07.530 especially early in the game when they were trying to 827 00:42:07.619 --> 00:42:09.929 match score for score. And I think there was an 828 00:42:09.969 --> 00:42:12.710 occasion early in the game where Lee Canada was driving 829 00:42:12.769 --> 00:42:16.269 down deep in the red zone, had, Failed to score. 830 00:42:17.610 --> 00:42:21.590 Central took the ball over. Hit a deep pass, I think, 831 00:42:21.630 --> 00:42:25.409 for a touchdown. They got a ball again. McPherson does 832 00:42:25.670 --> 00:42:28.849 what McPherson does and has a big play. And then 833 00:42:28.929 --> 00:42:31.719 all of a sudden, you find yourself out of reach 28-6. Yep. 834 00:42:33.219 --> 00:42:35.260 So it just turned. I mean, the momentum of that 835 00:42:35.300 --> 00:42:39.989 game just swung so fast. And Central never gave it up. 836 00:42:40.579 --> 00:42:44.119 So that was an impressive thing as far as I'm concerned. 837 00:42:44.340 --> 00:42:46.860 And the other one was just Jeff Davis, I was 838 00:42:47.050 --> 00:42:50.929 really impressed by Jeff Davis. Now, I will tell you 839 00:42:50.969 --> 00:42:55.929 that if you are a Thomasville opponent, watch out for 840 00:42:55.969 --> 00:42:58.550 Thomasville this year. That was the first time I got 841 00:42:58.570 --> 00:43:01.670 to see them up close and personal. And I was 842 00:43:02.650 --> 00:43:05.719 really impressed by the athleticism of that team. 843 00:43:06.300 --> 00:43:07.090 They're playing really well. 844 00:43:07.110 --> 00:43:07.880 On both sides of the ball. 845 00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:08.360 Yep. 846 00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:11.679 Offensively and defensively. I mean, they have so much. You know, 847 00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:15.360 I like to brag about the– top teams like whether 848 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:19.920 it's Buford or Valdosta, Lowndes, some of these other, even TCC, 849 00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:23.110 Lee County into that equation. The team speed for these 850 00:43:23.389 --> 00:43:27.429 upper class teams are so amazing, right? But the team 851 00:43:27.449 --> 00:43:31.090 speed for Thomasville across the board, offense and defense, was 852 00:43:31.190 --> 00:43:31.989 truly impressive. 853 00:43:33.010 --> 00:43:34.639 Agreed. All right. 854 00:43:34.780 --> 00:43:37.949 So let me talk about, you know, the classifications. 855 00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:41.570 So I really thought, by the way, Blessed Trinity is 856 00:43:41.769 --> 00:43:46.809 our number one team in 5A. They took on number three, Marist, 857 00:43:47.690 --> 00:43:54.949 a very, very good battle between two really good medium sized, well, 858 00:43:54.969 --> 00:43:58.380 let's just say Catholic Blue Bloods, Catholic School of Blue Bloods. 859 00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:03.460 And listen, don't let the Catholic fool you. These are good, tough, 860 00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:12.030 Good football teams. Blessed Trinity defeated Marist 17-14. 861 00:44:12.449 --> 00:44:12.650 Yeah. 862 00:44:12.750 --> 00:44:16.829 By the way, I had to beat Blessed Trinity winning 21-10. 863 00:44:17.170 --> 00:44:20.329 They went 17-14. By the way, Phil's picked six. I 864 00:44:20.369 --> 00:44:23.510 got five of the six teams right. But that was 865 00:44:23.570 --> 00:44:25.719 one of the games that was impressive. Let me ask 866 00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:33.480 you guys this. Benedictine defeated Richmond Academy 52-49. I really 867 00:44:33.539 --> 00:44:37.199 don't know much about Richmond Academy. Can somebody fill me in? 868 00:44:41.010 --> 00:44:45.190 I don't know anything about Richmond Academy. Are they from Augusta? 869 00:44:45.909 --> 00:44:48.070 That's what I was thinking. I think they are. Isn't 870 00:44:48.130 --> 00:44:51.070 it Richmond County?

I think so. 871 00:44:51.170 --> 00:44:53.389 I think so. Hey, can I answer a question? 872 00:44:53.949 --> 00:44:54.150 Yeah. 873 00:44:54.989 --> 00:45:01.340 So, Ken Washington, Larry Pope, Mac Foster, all these Valdosta 874 00:45:01.380 --> 00:45:06.730 fans want me to say it out loud. They're saying, hey, 875 00:45:06.769 --> 00:45:09.250 can you tell us who the number one seeded team 876 00:45:09.429 --> 00:45:13.750 in the PSR is this week for Class 7A? Valdosta. 877 00:45:14.090 --> 00:45:14.309 Yeah. 878 00:45:15.210 --> 00:45:20.860 You Wildcat fans, you happy? To illustrate our point, though, 879 00:45:21.260 --> 00:45:25.469 with the PSR, listen, Valdosta is 6-0. Lowndes is 5-0. 880 00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:30.889 Buford is 5-0. But Valdosta is ranked number one as 881 00:45:30.929 --> 00:45:34.780 far as the PSR goes. Lowndes is number 12. Buford 882 00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:37.199 is number nine. Do you know what the difference is 883 00:45:37.500 --> 00:45:38.539 between these three teams? 884 00:45:39.139 --> 00:45:40.059 Well, it's the opponents. 885 00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:41.739 The opponents' winning percentage. 886 00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:42.199 Right. 887 00:45:42.219 --> 00:45:47.519 And Valdosta's opponents have about a 75% winning percentage. That's 888 00:45:47.619 --> 00:45:52.539 the difference. Right. Buford and Lowndes, their opponents' winning percentage 889 00:45:53.019 --> 00:45:54.889 is about 40%. 890 00:45:54.889 --> 00:45:57.360 Hey, listen, give credit where credit's due. I mean, you know, 891 00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:01.119 you schedule cupcakes, but they were good cupcakes. Yeah. It's 892 00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:04.579 kind of like a ding-dong. Okay. 893 00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:08.639 Now, no, get your head out of the gutter. Now, 894 00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:10.989 a ding-dong is a cupcake. 895 00:46:11.429 --> 00:46:11.630 Yeah. 896 00:46:12.150 --> 00:46:14.269 But it's a really good cupcake. I think it's the 897 00:46:14.349 --> 00:46:15.090 best of them all. 898 00:46:16.030 --> 00:46:21.650 Is that the... Yeah, so I always get confused. 899 00:46:22.210 --> 00:46:22.949 Well, let me help you out. 900 00:46:23.050 --> 00:46:25.550 Once the chocolate... It's these right here. 901 00:46:27.949 --> 00:46:28.630 Oh, yeah, yeah. 902 00:46:28.769 --> 00:46:30.239 I was thinking about the wrong one then. 903 00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:33.579 Phil's got, yes, I do have a carton of Ding Dong. Yes, 904 00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:35.019 I like a little treat every now and then. 905 00:46:35.780 --> 00:46:40.760 But those things are good. But what's my point? It's 906 00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:45.440 a cupcake. But, you know, at the end of the day, 907 00:46:45.860 --> 00:46:48.239 give credit where credit's due. About Austin, he nailed it. 908 00:46:48.909 --> 00:46:52.070 Like you said, he nailed it. He's got their undefeated. 909 00:46:52.570 --> 00:46:55.360 They got a good PSR. Be interesting to see. And 910 00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:58.059 I said it from the, from the beginning, I think 911 00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:00.159 about Asta, you know, we talked again, had these earlier 912 00:47:00.219 --> 00:47:02.380 conversations about who we thought was going to be there 913 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:04.840 at the end. I still think about Asta as far 914 00:47:04.860 --> 00:47:10.150 as South Georgia goes, has got a great chance to represent, uh, the, 915 00:47:10.309 --> 00:47:12.070 you know, the region one, seven, eight. 916 00:47:12.750 --> 00:47:17.929 Um, I don't think there's a lot of separation right now. Lounds. Interesting. 917 00:47:17.949 --> 00:47:19.179 I like Lounds' defense. 918 00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:21.840 Um, It looks like. 919 00:47:21.739 --> 00:47:25.219 They're really– and, again, I talk to Coach Carter every week. 920 00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:28.030 We have the Lowndes High Coaches Show. And I really 921 00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:30.469 think Larry– and I know you're Lowndes. I think they're 922 00:47:30.610 --> 00:47:35.230 really protecting Jace, kind of holding him in reserve, getting 923 00:47:35.250 --> 00:47:35.710 him ready. 924 00:47:35.809 --> 00:47:38.510 They have. They've gone out of their way to do that. And, 925 00:47:38.570 --> 00:47:41.550 you know, against the opponents we've had so far, there 926 00:47:41.590 --> 00:47:45.050 was really no need, especially when he got hurt in 927 00:47:45.110 --> 00:47:48.889 game– I want to say game three, something like that, 928 00:47:49.010 --> 00:47:49.989 in the first half or something like that. 929 00:47:50.389 --> 00:47:50.630 Right. 930 00:47:50.650 --> 00:47:54.329 So he was fine for the next game, but to 931 00:47:54.369 --> 00:47:57.829 be cautious, right, and you didn't need him in there. 932 00:47:58.090 --> 00:48:01.469 Let's just hold him out and get him ready for 933 00:48:01.489 --> 00:48:01.989 region play. 934 00:48:02.469 --> 00:48:06.760 Chris Pace says hostess Susie Q's are better, Phil. 935 00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:11.360 Now, Chris, what are those? What are the Susie Q's? 936 00:48:11.380 --> 00:48:12.300 You ever had one of those, Larry? 937 00:48:13.900 --> 00:48:15.019 A Susie Q. 938 00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:18.460 That's what Chris Pace, our buddy, south and middle Georgia 939 00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:20.530 high school football, Facebook page. 940 00:48:20.570 --> 00:48:21.710 I'm not sure what that is. 941 00:48:22.090 --> 00:48:22.710 I don't either. 942 00:48:23.650 --> 00:48:27.730 So, Mac Foster corrected me. He says, LG, I'm not 943 00:48:27.750 --> 00:48:30.289 a Cat fan. I'm a Blue Devil fan. It's like, 944 00:48:30.409 --> 00:48:32.969 I stand corrected. Man, I didn't mean to cuss you 945 00:48:33.050 --> 00:48:35.380 out like that, Mac. Man, you're a Blue Devil fan. 946 00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:37.440 I get it, man. I wouldn't want to be called 947 00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:39.079 a Cat fan if I'm not a Cat fan either. 948 00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:41.400 Wait a minute. Who did I

call a Cat fan? 949 00:48:41.860 --> 00:48:44.679 No, he said that I did. Oh, I got you. 950 00:48:44.699 --> 00:48:47.420 I lumped Mac in with Larry Pope and some of 951 00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:50.070 these other guys a while ago. I got you. So 952 00:48:50.130 --> 00:48:51.190 my apologies for that. 953 00:48:52.150 --> 00:48:54.289 Larry Pogue, speaking of Larry Pogue, Larry Pogue, big Val 954 00:48:54.389 --> 00:48:57.090 Austin man. He's a good buddy. He said, Phil, you 955 00:48:57.110 --> 00:49:01.210 have Newton as a top team, and them Trojans, they 956 00:49:01.250 --> 00:49:04.909 haven't played a soul. In fact, according to Max Preps, 957 00:49:04.949 --> 00:49:07.130 we all have the same strength of schedule. Keep that 958 00:49:07.210 --> 00:49:08.210 energy for everyone. 959 00:49:08.210 --> 00:49:10.789 Yeah, I think Newton. 960 00:49:10.090 --> 00:49:13.599 Is one of those. I think they are a very 961 00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:14.530 good team. 962 00:49:14.530 --> 00:49:16.780 They're very deserving of being top 10. 963 00:49:16.780 --> 00:49:20.079 Man, all these snacks we're talking about tonight. Chris Pace 964 00:49:20.139 --> 00:49:23.380 is right. I just Googled Susie Q's. They look delicious. 965 00:49:23.820 --> 00:49:24.420 What are they? 966 00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:25.860 Help me out. 967 00:49:27.670 --> 00:49:31.730 They're kind of like a longer version, almost like a 968 00:49:32.210 --> 00:49:35.690 hot dog looking thing with cream in the middle of it. Oh, really? Yeah. 969 00:49:36.070 --> 00:49:36.789 I mean, they look delicious. 970 00:49:36.809 --> 00:49:38.429 Okay.

I knew you were going to go there. Now, 976 00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:52.429 that's a good old standby, isn't it? 977 00:49:52.900 --> 00:49:55.199 It really is, man. I love some Fig Newtons, boy. 978 00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:56.920 Jamie Fraley Seeger. 979 00:49:56.960 --> 00:49:58.840 Now, I knew she had to check in here because 980 00:49:58.900 --> 00:50:06.340 Jamie is going to ruin these big factory manufactured snacks. 981 00:50:06.989 --> 00:50:12.389 with some good old Southern-loving homemade ingredients. I bet you 982 00:50:12.429 --> 00:50:17.000 Jamie Fraley Sager is not going to the supermarket and 983 00:50:17.059 --> 00:50:22.579 buying any of these. Jamie Fraley Sager, no, is making, 984 00:50:22.699 --> 00:50:27.320 she's breaking out the flour and the sugar and all 985 00:50:27.389 --> 00:50:32.110 the other concoctions that make up good snack cakes. 986 00:50:32.369 --> 00:50:35.170 Is that your go-to snack, Phil? Yeah. When you've got 987 00:50:35.190 --> 00:50:36.449 to have a snack, is that your go-to? 988 00:50:36.940 --> 00:50:38.280 A hundred percent. Yeah. 989 00:50:39.099 --> 00:50:40.199 Modern honey buns, man. 990 00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:42.599 See, it's just too easy. 991 00:50:43.019 --> 00:50:46.420 I love honey buns, especially the giant frosted honey buns. 992 00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:47.260 You like those? 993 00:50:47.699 --> 00:50:48.460 Oh my gosh. 994 00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:50.780 Yeah. Gosh, we're going to lose everybody. I don't know 995 00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:52.630 if people may like to talk food. I don't know. 996 00:50:52.650 --> 00:50:55.650 We've got to make some football, but Jamie Fraley Seeger, 997 00:50:55.670 --> 00:50:58.269 she says my chocolate cupcakes are better. I would like 998 00:50:58.309 --> 00:51:01.329 to know how you make those Jamie. And does anybody 999 00:51:01.389 --> 00:51:02.989 else do any kind of homemade desserts? 1000 00:51:03.570 --> 00:51:04.250 I will say this. 1001 00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:07.619 There's a dessert where I get my coffee every morning. 1002 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:11.739 Now they call it an ooey gooey something, but it's 1003 00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:14.409 a red velvet cake. And I'm not a big fan 1004 00:51:14.449 --> 00:51:17.030 of red velvet cakes by themselves, but this is a 1005 00:51:17.150 --> 00:51:22.030 red velvet cake with like a topping of some kind. 1006 00:51:22.050 --> 00:51:23.469 It's like a golden topping. 1007 00:51:23.610 --> 00:51:26.329 I don't know what it is, but I have to, 1008 00:51:26.670 --> 00:51:28.610 I tell them to hide them for me when I 1009 00:51:28.630 --> 00:51:30.849 come in and get a cup of coffee. Let's get 1010 00:51:30.869 --> 00:51:32.510 back to football. I don't want to lose everybody. 1011 00:51:32.849 --> 00:51:34.489 I got everybody talking snacks now. 1012 00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:38.320 Brian Jones. What's up, Phil, from Beach County?

And they 1017 00:51:45.869 --> 00:51:47.190 had the big fig Newton running around. 1018 00:51:47.210 --> 00:51:47.670 You remember that? 1019 00:51:48.070 --> 00:51:50.010 And they have different flavors of fig Newtons now. 1020 00:51:50.449 --> 00:51:51.190 Oh, I didn't know that. 1021 00:51:51.610 --> 00:51:52.300 Oh, my gosh. 1022 00:51:52.340 --> 00:51:52.590 Yeah. 1023 00:51:53.050 --> 00:51:56.099 I like the apple fig Newtons.

Mike wanted to add hostess before ding-dongs. 1026 00:52:04.869 --> 00:52:06.219 I love it. 1027 00:52:06.369 --> 00:52:09.389 Phil, do you know who the number one team is 1028 00:52:09.449 --> 00:52:11.809 in Class 6A when it comes

to the PSR? 1029 00:52:14.090 --> 00:52:14.610 Hold on a second. 1030 00:52:14.739 --> 00:52:15.719 It's Jackson County. 1031 00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:17.010 Jackson County. 1032 00:52:17.489 --> 00:52:17.639 Yeah. 1033 00:52:18.199 --> 00:52:18.409 Yeah. 1034 00:52:19.780 --> 00:52:25.599 Now, listen, they gained notoriety when they upset Milton in 1035 00:52:25.619 --> 00:52:26.699 the playoffs last year, right? 1036 00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:27.949 Okay. 1037 00:52:28.949 --> 00:52:34.360 And then in the all season, they get the quarterback from, uh, 1038 00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:35.480 is it North cop Christian? 1039 00:52:37.460 --> 00:52:38.360 Somebody help me out here. 1040 00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:42.179 Yeah, I believe that's right. Now here's the, here's the, 1041 00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:45.480 here's the interesting thing. And, and you guys are going 1042 00:52:45.500 --> 00:52:49.019 to have to help me out. So I believe the 1043 00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:52.420 quarterback from North cop Christian, I had him as a 1044 00:52:52.460 --> 00:52:56.019 preseason top 10 quarterback in the state of Georgia. He 1045 00:52:56.059 --> 00:52:58.110 goes to Jackson County, Right? 1046 00:52:59.230 --> 00:53:01.429 And then Ben Musser. 1047 00:53:02.469 --> 00:53:03.010 That's his name. 1048 00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:04.840 Ben Musser. 1049 00:53:05.460 --> 00:53:07.920 Now, wait a minute. He came from Prince Avenue Christian, 1050 00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:14.280 didn't he? I'm getting all mixed up. Somebody's going to 1051 00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:17.190 tell me. Ben Musser came from Prince Avenue Christian, transferred 1052 00:53:17.230 --> 00:53:18.570 to Jackson County. That's what it was. 1053 00:53:19.389 --> 00:53:20.789 Can somebody clarify that for me? 1054 00:53:24.090 --> 00:53:27.329 But then you've got Last year's quarterback, remember last year's 1055 00:53:27.349 --> 00:53:31.880 quarterback at Milton? Ben, I don't know if you pronounce 1056 00:53:31.929 --> 00:53:36.679 it Hal-a-vi or Hal-a-vi. Remember, he's the one that stood 1057 00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:38.699 in for Derrick Baker at Milton last year. 1058 00:53:39.099 --> 00:53:40.880 Oh, that's right. Yeah, he did a great job, too. 1059 00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:41.960 He really did. 1060 00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:45.280 Now, he's the quarterback at North Cobb. 1061 00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:53.260 Okay, let's get back to talking football. All right, Greg 1062 00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:55.630 Hackle says, quarterback is from Prince Avenue. 1063 00:53:55.650 --> 00:53:55.969 That's right. 1064 00:53:55.989 --> 00:53:57.349 That's what I thought. 1065 00:53:57.369 --> 00:53:59.389 Richard Lewis is still wanting to talk snack cakes. He says, 1066 00:53:59.409 --> 00:54:02.090 take a little dibby bun, set it in on your dash, 1067 00:54:02.130 --> 00:54:03.659 and let it warm up. Get beat it. 1068 00:54:03.849 --> 00:54:06.360 Yeah, Larry's the honey bun. I'm not big on honey bun. 1069 00:54:06.699 --> 00:54:11.739 I just think it's too plain. What? Yes, it's bread and, 1070 00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:12.559 you know, sugar. 1071 00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:14.480 Yeah, I don't know. 1072 00:54:15.380 --> 00:54:18.090 Stephen K. Wynn. Oh, listen, I'm going to test something here. 1073 00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:22.739 Stephen K. Wynn says my wife's pound cake is my best, 1074 00:54:23.300 --> 00:54:28.280 and I know what he's talking about. When we streamed 1075 00:54:28.300 --> 00:54:31.309 the Lee County Warner Robins game, I think it was 1076 00:54:31.349 --> 00:54:34.969 two or three years ago, I am met in the 1077 00:54:35.010 --> 00:54:41.750 stands by this strapping, good-looking gentleman, okay, and he's sitting 1078 00:54:41.769 --> 00:54:45.690 there holding a cake. He's sitting there holding the canister. 1079 00:54:46.230 --> 00:54:46.349 Yeah. 1080 00:54:46.369 --> 00:54:50.429 You know what I mean? And I'm thinking, who is 1081 00:54:50.449 --> 00:54:56.449 this guy? And it's Stephen K. Wynn introducing himself and 1082 00:54:56.679 --> 00:55:02.800 absolutely knowing how to get to me. He presents me 1083 00:55:02.860 --> 00:55:08.550 with his wife's pound cake, which is absolutely out of sight. 1084 00:55:08.769 --> 00:55:09.789 We got to get back to talking about high school 1085 00:55:09.809 --> 00:55:11.909 football or everybody's going to leave us. 1086 00:55:11.929 --> 00:55:12.690 I keep saying that. 1087 00:55:12.710 --> 00:55:13.070 Yeah. 1088 00:55:15.230 --> 00:55:17.510 All right, we had somebody that commented earlier. I want 1089 00:55:17.530 --> 00:55:27.409 to go back to these real quick. Hold on a second. 1090 00:55:27.670 --> 00:55:32.230 Eric Evans checking in from Ohio. Eric was checking in 1091 00:55:32.269 --> 00:55:35.030 from Ohio. Eric, I'm trying to get back to your– 1092 00:55:35.369 --> 00:55:37.909 there it is. Hey, Phil and the gang checking in 1093 00:55:37.949 --> 00:55:40.969 from Columbus, Ohio. I always want to make sure I 1094 00:55:40.989 --> 00:55:44.230 get those guys in. Eric Evans, what's up, brother? What's 1095 00:55:44.250 --> 00:55:45.510 happening in Columbus, Ohio? 1096 00:55:45.570 --> 00:55:48.730 Glad to have you checking in as we are everybody else. 1097 00:55:49.690 --> 00:55:50.110 John D. 1098 00:55:50.170 --> 00:55:52.670 Williams says, where do you put TCC in the nation? 1099 00:55:54.130 --> 00:55:55.050 I'll tell you this. 1100 00:55:56.590 --> 00:56:00.510 Listen, I have a confession to make. Where's the priest at? 1101 00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:05.760 Confession time. I'm not Catholic. Never mind. 1102 00:56:05.780 --> 00:56:08.800 So I have a confession to make. 1103 00:56:09.690 --> 00:56:13.110 We do, in addition to our top 10 by classification, 1104 00:56:14.989 --> 00:56:20.570 we do an overall top 15, all classification. Okay? 1105 00:56:22.489 --> 00:56:26.650 I almost pulled the trigger on that. That's a bad analogy. 1106 00:56:26.670 --> 00:56:35.019 I'm sorry. I almost took TCC

as the top team 1107 00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:35.420 in the state. 1108 00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:39.460 Almost did it. What do you think, Larry? 1109 00:56:40.739 --> 00:56:45.500 Okay, so to answer that question, whenever I say, whenever 1110 00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:50.849 you say or anyone says Team X is in the 1111 00:56:50.949 --> 00:56:54.429 top five of the nation or in the top five 1112 00:56:54.449 --> 00:56:57.210 of Class 7A or whatever, so you always have to 1113 00:56:57.250 --> 00:57:01.610 go back and look at who's in the top five 1114 00:57:01.650 --> 00:57:03.940 of 7A or who's in the top five of the 1115 00:57:03.980 --> 00:57:09.030 nation currently and then ask the magical question, is Team X... 1116 00:57:09.579 --> 00:57:14.320 better than the current top five. So in order to 1117 00:57:14.360 --> 00:57:16.119 be in the top five, you've got to displace someone 1118 00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:18.619 in the current top five, right? So are they better? 1119 00:57:18.639 --> 00:57:19.840 So I went back and looked. 1120 00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:20.840 You're right. 1121 00:57:21.260 --> 00:57:25.170 I go and look at the Max Preps rankings. They're 1122 00:57:25.190 --> 00:57:28.610 probably the most reliable, been around forever. You also look 1123 00:57:28.650 --> 00:57:32.130 at Jeff Fisher's High School Football America and Joe Mamone's poll, 1124 00:57:32.929 --> 00:57:35.469 but they're going to be similar. So Max Preps has 1125 00:57:35.510 --> 00:57:43.110 got these five teams in the nation. St. Thomas Aquinas, St. 1126 00:57:43.250 --> 00:57:48.050 Francis Academy out of Maryland, IMG Academy, Santa Margarita out 1127 00:57:48.070 --> 00:57:52.570 of California, and none other than Buford rounding out the 1128 00:57:52.610 --> 00:57:55.949 top five. So is Central better than any of those 1129 00:57:56.349 --> 00:57:57.309 in the current top five? 1130 00:58:00.070 --> 00:58:04.070 Well, it goes back to our, again, it goes back 1131 00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:07.800 to our first thing we said was, oh, do we 1132 00:58:07.980 --> 00:58:11.949 really know Unless we have some head-to-head. Let me add this. 1133 00:58:12.429 --> 00:58:16.210 Let me add this. What do all those teams you 1134 00:58:16.250 --> 00:58:18.630 just talked about have in common? 1135 00:58:19.489 --> 00:58:20.610 Blue chip move-ins. 1136 00:58:23.820 --> 00:58:24.539 Exactly what I. 1137 00:58:24.500 --> 00:58:29.260 Was looking for. But anyway, they're all big name recognition. 1138 00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:33.559 When you say any of those teams, it's instant. We 1139 00:58:33.579 --> 00:58:37.139 don't have to say who, right? There? 1140 00:58:37.739 --> 00:58:38.610 Yeah, I agree. 1141 00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:41.679 And I think it's anybody in the country that knows 1142 00:58:41.719 --> 00:58:44.099 high school football. I think right now, if you were 1143 00:58:44.119 --> 00:58:46.280 to say, and I'm not saying this is fair. I'm 1144 00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:49.719 just saying, if you were to say, and we should 1145 00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:52.710 maybe think about including Thomas County Central in that conversation, 1146 00:58:53.289 --> 00:58:55.969 you're going to have over half the people say, who? 1147 00:58:57.530 --> 00:59:01.349 And I don't think that's fair because, again, personally, and 1148 00:59:01.369 --> 00:59:04.510 I've been saying this all along, I would really like 1149 00:59:04.550 --> 00:59:08.190 to see Thomas County Central go play in one of these, like, 1150 00:59:09.010 --> 00:59:12.199 Interstate matchup. like we've had on these other teams. That's 1151 00:59:12.300 --> 00:59:16.920 what it's time for. Because I really like TCC against 1152 00:59:17.059 --> 00:59:18.039 almost anybody. 1153 00:59:18.599 --> 00:59:20.619 Yeah. Give him something to drink. 1154 00:59:20.659 --> 00:59:21.280 Keep talking, Larry. 1155 00:59:21.820 --> 00:59:24.510 So if Central– guys, here's really what it comes down to. 1156 00:59:27.469 --> 00:59:33.519 If Central– wants to be a national brand. I don't 1157 00:59:33.559 --> 00:59:35.179 know if they want to be or not. I don't 1158 00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:38.219 know if that's what Justin Rogers' goal is, to put 1159 00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:40.300 Central in there in the conversation with the tops in 1160 00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:42.599 the nation. I don't know. Maybe that's his goal. Maybe 1161 00:59:42.619 --> 00:59:45.239 I haven't heard him say it. But let's assume for 1162 00:59:45.260 --> 00:59:49.300 a second that that's what they want to accomplish. I've 1163 00:59:49.340 --> 00:59:54.750 talked to three top pollsters, Jeff Fisher, Joe Mamone, and 1164 00:59:54.809 --> 00:59:57.650 Zach Poff for three straight years, and I ask them 1165 00:59:57.670 --> 01:00:00.989 this every season when we do this preseason ranking. I 1166 01:00:01.349 --> 01:00:03.550 ask all three of them point blank, what does it 1167 01:00:03.610 --> 01:00:08.400 take for a team to be recognized in the national conversation, 1168 01:00:09.260 --> 01:00:11.920 much less in the top five of the nation? And 1169 01:00:11.960 --> 01:00:15.019 here's what they all three say. You've got to win 1170 01:00:15.059 --> 01:00:18.360 your state. That's number one. Then you've got to play 1171 01:00:18.550 --> 01:00:24.010 at least a top-tier out-of-state opponent and beat them. That's 1172 01:00:24.050 --> 01:00:27.239 number two. Number three is do it consistently. Do those 1173 01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:30.489 first two things consistently, and then you start to be 1174 01:00:31.610 --> 01:00:35.449 inserted into the national conversation. That's what it takes. So 1175 01:00:35.469 --> 01:00:38.329 when you take a look at St. Thomas Aquinas and 1176 01:00:38.489 --> 01:00:43.329 IMG Academy, they're household names. Why? Because they take on 1177 01:00:43.369 --> 01:00:48.730 these top-tier out-of-state opponents, and they win their state, and 1178 01:00:48.750 --> 01:00:51.170 they do it

consistently. And so if you want to 1179 01:00:51.190 --> 01:00:54.789 be in the I remember when Jamie DuBose was at 1180 01:00:54.849 --> 01:00:59.679 Lowndes Field. I asked him back then, do you want 1181 01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:03.380 Lowndes to become a national brand? And he said yes, 1182 01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:06.059 and that's why he went out and scheduled some of 1183 01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:10.380 these out-of-state opponents the way that he did. I don't 1184 01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:13.179 know if you remember that. We played Miami Northwestern and 1185 01:01:13.219 --> 01:01:17.559 beat them. We played American Heritage. Didn't have any success 1186 01:01:17.619 --> 01:01:20.940 against them, but that was his goal. is to make 1187 01:01:21.059 --> 01:01:22.820 lounge into a national brand. That's why I was so 1188 01:01:22.860 --> 01:01:25.000 disappointed when, when he left the program, when he did, 1189 01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:27.699 cause I think he was, he wanted to get lounge 1190 01:01:27.860 --> 01:01:30.949 up there elevated, but that's not what some coaches want 1191 01:01:30.989 --> 01:01:34.150 for their programs. But if you do want that, that's 1192 01:01:34.190 --> 01:01:36.130 the formula according to the national pollsters. 1193 01:01:39.849 --> 01:01:40.190 Okay. 1194 01:01:40.750 --> 01:01:44.670 Um, Mac Foster jr. I, by the way, I see 1195 01:01:45.630 --> 01:01:46.349 your question. 1196 01:01:46.650 --> 01:01:50.429 Um, Wanted me to ask Tip County's head football coach tomorrow, 1197 01:01:50.449 --> 01:01:54.230 Jeff Littleton, in our coaches show. Okay, so somebody's got 1198 01:01:54.269 --> 01:01:56.389 a point. Somebody's got a problem with me about having 1199 01:01:56.469 --> 01:01:57.909 Newton ranked as a top 10 team. 1200 01:01:58.369 --> 01:01:58.610 Sure. 1201 01:01:59.469 --> 01:02:01.960 Who is that? Is that Larry Pope? Larry Pope says, 1202 01:02:02.019 --> 01:02:05.179 explain how you have taught Newton as a top team 1203 01:02:05.219 --> 01:02:10.039 if they haven't played anyone. Okay, let me go to this. 1204 01:02:10.420 --> 01:02:16.579 Now, I don't. I can answer that question for you. Okay. 1205 01:02:17.179 --> 01:02:18.599 So here's how they're. 1206 01:02:18.599 --> 01:02:20.920 In the top ten. By the way, I want to say, Larry, 1207 01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:24.840 by the way, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has Newton fourth. So 1208 01:02:24.860 --> 01:02:26.760 they actually have him ranked higher than I do. So, 1209 01:02:26.860 --> 01:02:29.130 you know, there's something to be said for great minds 1210 01:02:29.170 --> 01:02:30.809 thinking alike. But, Larry, go ahead. 1211 01:02:30.849 --> 01:02:34.150 Larry Godwin is going to answer, I'm assuming, the question 1212 01:02:34.309 --> 01:02:34.809 from Larry Pope. 1213 01:02:35.909 --> 01:02:38.530 Yeah, so the question is, how is Newton in the 1214 01:02:40.429 --> 01:02:41.989 top of the rankings? Is that what he's asking? 1215 01:02:42.010

--> 01:02:45.260 Top ten. How are they a top ten team? I 1216 01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:46.340 ain't promised without looking. 1217 01:02:47.230 --> 01:02:47.449 Listen. 1218 01:02:47.469 --> 01:02:49.989 They haven't played the same schedule that your team has, Larry. 1219 01:02:50.550 --> 01:02:53.510 Well, one is they're undefeated like a lot of teams, 1220 01:02:53.530 --> 01:02:56.349 like Valdosta, Lounson. But take a look at who they've played. 1221 01:02:56.769 --> 01:02:59.829 I don't agree with this. If a comment– I can't 1222 01:02:59.849 --> 01:03:02.110 remember what he said. But if a comment is, Newton 1223 01:03:02.139 --> 01:03:03.780 hadn't played anybody, let's take a look at who they've played. 1224 01:03:03.800 --> 01:03:04.539 That's what he said, yeah. 1225 01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:06.199 Yeah. Roswell? 1226 01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:09.619 Okay, stop. Yeah, stop, stop. 1227 01:03:09.780 --> 01:03:12.420 I mean, right– come on, Larry. Pope. 1228 01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:14.059 Yeah. 1229 01:03:14.690 --> 01:03:17.260 Warner Robins is 4-1. 1230 01:03:17.909 --> 01:03:18.699 Larry! 1231 01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:24.500 Douglas County, we all agree that Douglas County is down 1232 01:03:24.539 --> 01:03:26.519 this year, but Douglas County is still 3-1. 1233 01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:28.420 Larry Pope, brother, I love you. 1234 01:03:28.639 --> 01:03:32.869 I do, man. But already Larry Godwin, in just the 1235 01:03:32.949 --> 01:03:38.269 three teams he's mentioned, has put that comment to rest. 1236 01:03:38.289 --> 01:03:40.869 Come on, Larry Pope. You know more than that. Go ahead, Larry. 1237 01:03:41.699 --> 01:03:43.929 So when you take a look at the three parts 1238 01:03:44.010 --> 01:03:47.949 of the PSR formula for Newton, Newton has won 5-0, right? 1239 01:03:48.329 --> 01:03:52.269 So they're perfect on that one. So their opponent's winning 1240 01:03:52.309 --> 01:03:58.659 percentage is 62%. That's collectively, right? And then their opponent's 1241 01:03:58.719 --> 01:04:04.280 opponent's winning percentage is 69%. That's a recipe for a 1242 01:04:04.400 --> 01:04:06.079 very high PSR ranking. 1243 01:04:08.019 --> 01:04:09.989 I just want to go back to that comment. because 1244 01:04:10.010 --> 01:04:11.840 I had seen it in Larry Pope's comments, and I 1245 01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:12.530 just wanted to address it. 1246 01:04:12.940 --> 01:04:13.199 That's all. 1247 01:04:13.699 --> 01:04:13.980 All right. 1248 01:04:14.820 --> 01:04:18.980 Yeah. Okay. So, now, I want to ask everybody this, 1249 01:04:19.219 --> 01:04:19.760 this watching. 1250 01:04:21.400 --> 01:04:21.639 Okay. 1251 01:04:22.059 --> 01:04:24.329 We had another one of the most anticipated games this 1252 01:04:24.369 --> 01:04:28.849 week was Toombs County and Pierce County. 1253 01:04:30.849 --> 01:04:32.750 We know how good Pierce County can be, right, Larry? 1254 01:04:33.190 --> 01:04:33.389 Sure. 1255 01:04:33.409 --> 01:04:38.349 Okay. So, Toombs County

and Pierce played. I predicted Toombs 1256 01:04:38.409 --> 01:04:43.980 County would win 29-28. They actually won, I think, by 1257 01:04:44.019 --> 01:04:45.139 three touchdowns. 1258 01:04:45.880 --> 01:04:49.820 No, four touchdowns. They won 28-7, I believe. So, my 1259 01:04:49.900 --> 01:04:51.039 question is this. 1260 01:04:52.570 --> 01:04:55.650 Toombs County, Buddy Martin's team, they played for a state 1261 01:04:55.670 --> 01:04:59.210 championship last year. They got beat by Worth. But I 1262 01:04:59.250 --> 01:05:02.690 think it's really time to pay respect to Toombs County. 1263 01:05:06.170 --> 01:05:06.769 Heck of a ball. 1264 01:05:07.150 --> 01:05:10.190 They may be, and what are they, 3A? Toombs County 1265 01:05:10.309 --> 01:05:13.769 may be playing a little above their skis, as they 1266 01:05:13.789 --> 01:05:14.230 like to say. 1267 01:05:15.829 --> 01:05:20.260 Well, they got some pretty good looking skis because they're 1268 01:05:20.300 --> 01:05:21.139 on a roll right now. 1269 01:05:22.119 --> 01:05:26.119 Yeah, yeah. Now, I'll tell you, let's see here. In 3A, 1270 01:05:26.159 --> 01:05:30.920 Toombs County's playing well. Appling County's playing well. Now, Appling is, 1271 01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:33.980 you know, hasn't really played that tough of a schedule, 1272 01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:38.019 but anyway. Uh, Hart County is playing very well. Um, 1273 01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:42.659 there was a kid last, I say kid, a young 1274 01:05:42.699 --> 01:05:46.960 man on Friday night. I think he plays for Westfield. No, 1275 01:05:48.260 --> 01:05:52.820 I can't remember. Had some unbelievable stats and I can't 1276 01:05:52.840 --> 01:05:55.340 remember what school it was, but anyway, if anybody knows, 1277 01:05:55.360 --> 01:05:58.219 I think it was one of the, the, the Macon schools. Um, 1278 01:06:00.250 --> 01:06:02.489 And by the way, guys, let me ask you this, Larry. 1279 01:06:02.510 --> 01:06:05.110 And I say, Larry, anybody else, whether you're a guy 1280 01:06:05.170 --> 01:06:07.210 or a girl. Yeah. 1281 01:06:08.230 --> 01:06:09.809 What has happened to Cedar Grove? 1282 01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:16.340 That's a tough question. Didn't they have a coaching change? 1283 01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:22.340 They did. And does everybody, it's time for class. Everybody 1284 01:06:22.380 --> 01:06:23.099 come in and sit down. 1285 01:06:25.090 --> 01:06:31.860 Okay. Everybody knows what Phil says about coaching changes. Right? 1286 01:06:32.739 --> 01:06:33.920 Coaching matters in high school. 1287 01:06:35.159 --> 01:06:36.139 Well, it does that. 1288 01:06:36.300 --> 01:06:37.460 Coaching and your quarterback. 1289 01:06:37.940 --> 01:06:38.179 Yeah. 1290 01:06:38.719 --> 01:06:46.679 But the big thing, anytime you see a long-standing coach leave, 1291 01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:51.389 trouble is brewing. 1292 01:06:53.190 --> 01:06:53.809 Okay. 1293 01:06:53.849 --> 01:06:56.269 And let me answer your question. That's what happened, I think, 1294 01:06:56.289 --> 01:06:56.949 to Cedar Grove. 1295 01:06:57.550 --> 01:07:01.329 They lost John Adams, not the original signer of the 1296 01:07:01.690 --> 01:07:08.469 Declaration of Independence. But John Adams, who was the head 1297 01:07:08.730 --> 01:07:10.030 coach at Cedar Grove, okay? 1298 01:07:10.730 --> 01:07:13.510 Remember, he went to Georgia State. That just goes to 1299 01:07:13.550 --> 01:07:14.349 show you how good he. 1300 01:07:14.349 --> 01:07:14.730 Was, Larry. 1301 01:07:15.170 --> 01:07:17.170 Yeah, did he? Is he the one who invented ale? 1302 01:07:19.789 --> 01:07:21.070 That was John Quincy Adams. 1303 01:07:21.429 --> 01:07:22.650 Oh, okay, okay. 1304 01:07:22.690 --> 01:07:23.570 I have no idea. 1305 01:07:24.190 --> 01:07:24.989 But John Adams. 1306 01:07:25.010 --> 01:07:25.989 That was Samuel Adams. 1307 01:07:26.409 --> 01:07:28.329 That's right, Larry. I'm sorry. 1308 01:07:28.349 --> 01:07:30.760 I gave you some bad advice there. Yes, Samuel Adams. 1309 01:07:30.780 --> 01:07:34.280 So I'm going to ask you to clarify something for me. Okay. 1310 01:07:35.420 --> 01:07:39.280 You said when a longtime coach exits a program, trouble 1311 01:07:39.460 --> 01:07:43.570 is not far behind. Is it because did they exit 1312 01:07:43.849 --> 01:07:45.730 because they saw trouble coming? 1313 01:07:46.030 --> 01:07:46.590 That is right. 1314 01:07:47.190 --> 01:07:51.090 Or did trouble come because that person's no longer there? 1315 01:07:51.949 --> 01:07:56.449 Well, kind of both. But the answer is, is twofold 1316 01:07:56.550 --> 01:07:59.730 and you're actually right on both of your answers okay 1317 01:07:59.989 --> 01:08:03.050 or your questions i should say okay so yes they 1318 01:08:03.139 --> 01:08:08.699 see trouble coming i believe larry okay and this is 1319 01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:11.519 going to hit home with you you just talked about 1320 01:08:11.579 --> 01:08:14.300 it okay i think that's one of the reasons jamie 1321 01:08:14.340 --> 01:08:19.060 demose left do you think that's fair. 1322 01:08:20.539 --> 01:08:25.680 Could be. You know, Ja'Cory Brown was graduating. He was 1323 01:08:25.739 --> 01:08:29.159 losing a lot of talent. Yes. And he was probably 1324 01:08:29.189 --> 01:08:31.689 a couple years away from restocking. 1325 01:08:33.449 --> 01:08:36.810 And I don't think Jamie DeBose– and I love Jamie DeBose, 1326 01:08:36.970 --> 01:08:40.029 and I'm just making a– I'm just basing– I'm just 1327 01:08:40.050 --> 01:08:43.630 giving you my opinion. So I'm not hating on anybody. 1328 01:08:43.750 --> 01:08:45.449 I like Jamie DeBose. I think he's a great coach. 1329 01:08:45.470 --> 01:08:47.880 I think he's doing a great job at Bainbridge. But 1330 01:08:48.079 --> 01:08:49.960 I believe, yes, but to answer your question, Larry, and 1331 01:08:49.979 --> 01:08:51.140 I don't want to make it all about Jimmy DeVos, 1332 01:08:51.180 --> 01:08:56.710 but yes, I think that's

what happens. These longtime coaches, 1333 01:08:57.770 --> 01:09:02.149 when you see one of those depart. that means trouble 1334 01:09:02.439 --> 01:09:03.300 is coming. 1335 01:09:03.779 --> 01:09:05.439 I got. 1336 01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:06.399 You. 1337 01:09:07.260 --> 01:09:10.819 You might be right with Jimmy, but he did have 1338 01:09:11.020 --> 01:09:12.439 some family circumstances. 1339 01:09:12.930 --> 01:09:13.189 Yeah. 1340 01:09:13.489 --> 01:09:14.949 That pulled him away from Lowndes at the time. 1341 01:09:15.149 --> 01:09:15.449 Okay. 1342 01:09:15.529 --> 01:09:18.979 And that's fair then. That's fair. And that's the case. 1343 01:09:19.229 --> 01:09:23.359 And I'm sure it's not 100% foolproof, like in Jamie 1344 01:09:23.380 --> 01:09:23.960 DeBose's case. 1345 01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:25.239 And remember, I said I didn't really want to make 1346 01:09:25.260 --> 01:09:26.979 it about Jamie DeBose. I'm just kind of giving an example. 1347 01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:34.529 But there is a long, long list of these examples. And, again, 1348 01:09:35.050 --> 01:09:38.010 John Quincy Adams. I have no idea if that's his 1349 01:09:38.050 --> 01:09:40.130 middle name. John Adams, who was the head coach of 1350 01:09:40.149 --> 01:09:42.909 Cedar Grove, Remember all the state championships that. 1351 01:09:42.829 --> 01:09:43.470 He won, guys? 1352 01:09:44.449 --> 01:09:44.630 Yeah. 1353 01:09:45.390 --> 01:09:50.100 And now you look down and they're getting beat 63-6 1354 01:09:50.859 --> 01:09:58.899 by Columbia. I mean, what has happened? Anyway, I'm sure 1355 01:09:58.920 --> 01:10:03.409 John Adams saw what was coming. Eric Soliday at Irwin. 1356 01:10:03.449 --> 01:10:09.189 I've used that one a lot. That Irwin County– If 1357 01:10:09.329 --> 01:10:13.630 you guys go back and look over a decade, Irwin 1358 01:10:13.689 --> 01:10:21.149 County may have had the most success of any team. 1359 01:10:20.930 --> 01:10:21.869 In the state of Georgia. 1360 01:10:23.350 --> 01:10:29.340 And I'm talking about from championships, making championship games, winning 1361 01:10:29.380 --> 01:10:30.420 state championships. 1362 01:10:31.439 --> 01:10:33.180 There was a 10-year period. 1363 01:10:32.859 --> 01:10:36.140 There under Eric Soliday where they were either winning state 1364 01:10:36.159 --> 01:10:43.250 titles or advancing to the state titles, or at least 1365 01:10:43.329 --> 01:10:48.489 making it to the semifinals. Okay? They were on some 1366 01:10:48.789 --> 01:10:51.310 kind of run, and because it was a smaller school, 1367 01:10:51.689 --> 01:10:54.399 like Erwin, there wasn't a whole lot of attention given 1368 01:10:54.439 --> 01:10:58.239 to it. But, I mean, yeah, it was quite a 1369 01:10:58.380 --> 01:11:02.180 run when you go from the, and I apologize for, 1370 01:11:02.640 --> 01:11:06.439 but it was the Buddy Nobles who passed away. 1371 01:11:08.310 --> 01:11:09.409 That's right, in Irwin County. 1372 01:11:09.789 -->

01:11:10.069 Uh-huh. 1373 01:11:10.489 --> 01:11:11.310 Yeah, I think so. 1374 01:11:11.729 --> 01:11:15.390 Yeah, you know, Buddy Noble started it, you know, and again, 1375 01:11:15.829 --> 01:11:18.750 God rest his soul. And then, Larry, it goes to 1376 01:11:18.869 --> 01:11:22.550 Eric Soliday, who was his assistant. Remember, Eric Soliday's son, 1377 01:11:22.590 --> 01:11:27.149 was it Cody Soliday, was quite the quarterback, okay? Yeah. But, man, 1378 01:11:27.250 --> 01:11:33.090 that was a juggernaut of a football program. And when 1379 01:11:33.170 --> 01:11:40.710 he leaves– I have never seen a bigger drop-off. Yeah. 1380 01:11:41.670 --> 01:11:43.710 Remember last year, I don't think they won a game. 1381 01:11:44.630 --> 01:11:46.729 And now this year, the new coach has come in. 1382 01:11:46.770 --> 01:11:49.170 He's doing better. And he'll build the team up. He 1383 01:11:49.189 --> 01:11:51.609 was the tight ends coach, I think, at Coffee High. 1384 01:11:51.989 --> 01:11:54.880 And I apologize. I can't remember his name. My apologies 1385 01:11:54.899 --> 01:11:57.020 for that. But I'm just saying, and again, I don't 1386 01:11:57.039 --> 01:11:59.960 want to get off on a tangent, but this is 1387 01:12:00.020 --> 01:12:06.250 what happens when these longtime coaches leave. Jeff Littleton. At Bainbridge. 1388 01:12:06.590 --> 01:12:07.529 Look what happened there. 1389 01:12:10.789 --> 01:12:11.289 Hold on a second. 1390 01:12:12.529 --> 01:12:13.310 Collins Hill. 1391 01:12:14.069 --> 01:12:15.810 Yeah. 1392 01:12:15.850 --> 01:12:20.180 Who was the coach at Collins Hill? Somebody help me out. 1393 01:12:21.539 --> 01:12:23.800 Oh, yeah. He was a different kind of guy. 1394 01:12:24.460 --> 01:12:26.180 He was a different kind of guy, for sure. I'm 1395 01:12:26.199 --> 01:12:27.359 going to go down and see if anybody can help 1396 01:12:27.399 --> 01:12:28.920 me out with this. I apologize. 1397 01:12:29.079 --> 01:12:31.779 Was it Ironside? 1398 01:12:31.819 --> 01:12:32.149 No, no. 1399 01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:34.489 You're thinking of Phillip Ironside, who was at Worth. 1400 01:12:34.970 --> 01:12:41.109 Okay. Phillip just wanted to retire and go fishing. Remember, 1401 01:12:41.189 --> 01:12:42.899 Phillip was a guy who didn't wear shoes. 1402 01:12:44.779 --> 01:12:45.479 Oh, that's right. 1403 01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:49.739 Good guy, though. I got to know him. Let me 1404 01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:52.260 tell you, he is what he is, man. He is 1405 01:12:52.300 --> 01:12:54.649 a good old country boy, and he didn't want any 1406 01:12:54.659 --> 01:12:57.270 of the baloney and the tape, red tape you had 1407 01:12:57.289 --> 01:12:59.229 to climb through. But he was a heck of a 1408 01:12:59.250 --> 01:13:02.890 football coach. Remember, he had those Hill Grove teams that 1409 01:13:02.909 --> 01:13:04.069 were scoring all those points. 1410 01:13:04.090 --> 01:13:04.630 You remember that? 1411 01:13:04.649 --> 01:13:04.729 Yeah. 1412 01:13:04.989 --> 01:13:05.189 Yeah. 1413 01:13:06.060 --> 01:13:06.880 Okay. 1414 01:13:06.920 --> 01:13:11.420 Remember, Byron Slacks has succeeded to Phillip Ironside. 1415 01:13:11.439 --> 01:13:14.079 Okay? Yeah. 1416 01:13:14.119 --> 01:13:18.939 Daniel Calhoun may have corrected me. Casey Soliday. All the Solidays, 1417 01:13:18.979 --> 01:13:19.569 I get them mixed up. 1418 01:13:20.340 --> 01:13:25.250 Let me see here. Okay. Ken Washington, Jr. 1419 01:13:25.289 --> 01:13:30.149 Just brought up another good example. Same with the Rome coach. Absolutely. 1420 01:13:30.229 --> 01:13:34.939 John Reed saw what was coming, Larry. John Reed steps down, and, man, 1421 01:13:34.960 --> 01:13:35.819 they are tanking. 1422 01:13:36.500 --> 01:13:38.720 By the way, hold on a second. What do you 1423 01:13:38.739 --> 01:13:44.460 think would have happened if the young man would have 1424 01:13:44.479 --> 01:13:46.520 stayed at Rome? That's at TCC now. 1425 01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:50.899 They'd be winning more games up there. 1426 01:13:51.819 --> 01:13:52.659 You think? 1427 01:13:54.739 --> 01:13:58.119 What? Hey, again, we're making a couple of points here 1428 01:13:58.149 --> 01:14:05.430 that Phil likes to dwell on. You are as good 1429 01:14:05.489 --> 01:14:11.260 as your quarterback is, period. And when you see your 1430 01:14:11.300 --> 01:14:15.640 longtime head coach bail on you, look out because trouble's coming. 1431 01:14:15.739 --> 01:14:18.800 And that's a good point, Ken Washington, Jr. Who was 1432 01:14:18.819 --> 01:14:20.920 the quarterback? Who was the head coach at Collins Hill? 1433 01:14:20.960 --> 01:14:23.479 You guys help me out. Are you talking about Gregory? 1434 01:14:25.930 --> 01:14:26.770 Was it Lenny Gregory? 1435 01:14:27.510 --> 01:14:28.770 Okay, yeah, but he's got three names. 1436 01:14:31.369 --> 01:14:31.810 I have no idea. 1437 01:14:32.300 --> 01:14:36.420 Yeah, Lenny Gregory something. Damn it. 1438 01:14:37.100 --> 01:14:38.760 I thought that was his name, Lenny Gregory. 1439 01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:46.189 No, he's got a hyphenated name. Anyway, Lenny Gregory. Still, 1440 01:14:46.229 --> 01:14:47.850 we know who we're talking about. Lenny Gregory was the 1441 01:14:47.869 --> 01:14:51.689 same way, Larry. You lose Travis Hunter and all that talent, 1442 01:14:52.789 --> 01:14:57.479 Lenny Gregory says, I'm out of here. Okay. 1443 01:14:57.529 --> 01:15:00.939 Hey, there's Leonard Finnerd who has joined us, ladies and gentlemen. Larry, 1444 01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:01.539 you see Leonard Finnerd. 1445 01:15:02.590 --> 01:15:03.130 Yeah, man. 1446 01:15:03.289 --> 01:15:04.229 See him in there in his comment? 1447 01:15:04.789 --> 01:15:05.310 There's Leonard. 1448 01:15:05.329 --> 01:15:12.520 There's Valapiano Jones. Hey, Leonard, I'm feeling left out, man. 1449 01:15:13.180 --> 01:15:15.520 You talk up Phil and you give him this nickname. 1450 01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:17.039 I want you to give me a

nickname. 1451 01:15:17.579 --> 01:15:19.460 All right, Finn, you're on the clock. 1452 01:15:20.680 --> 01:15:23.319 A good one now. A good one like you gave one. Oh, 1453 01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:24.840 give me one of these crappy nicknames. 1454 01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:26.930 Now, you know, Larry, that goes back, though, to our 1455 01:15:26.979 --> 01:15:30.770 childhood when I loved the Oakland Raiders. And the Oakland 1456 01:15:30.810 --> 01:15:34.600 Raiders had a linebacker who was named Phil Balapino. I 1457 01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:38.159 don't know how you say his name. But Ben started 1458 01:15:38.180 --> 01:15:42.159 calling me Phil Balapino. Okay, here's another one. Look out. 1459 01:15:42.359 --> 01:15:45.979 Jim Blair. Good call, Jim. Trouble in Mill Creek. 1460 01:15:46.859 --> 01:15:47.060 Yeah. 1461 01:15:47.659 --> 01:15:48.479 Good one, Jim. 1462 01:15:48.539 --> 01:15:55.890 Will we see Josh Lovelady bail? And by the way, guys, listen. 1463 01:15:56.510 --> 01:15:59.430 Think about what's happening. There is a movement going on. 1464 01:16:00.609 --> 01:16:04.489 Up there in the area of North Atlanta, Mill Creek, 1465 01:16:05.409 --> 01:16:09.449 my buddy Collins Hill, Drew Swick, I love him. He's 1466 01:16:09.470 --> 01:16:11.949 a good friend of mine. I hate to see what's happening. 1467 01:16:12.310 --> 01:16:19.520 I hope it's just kind of a temporary thing. But nevertheless, 1468 01:16:19.560 --> 01:16:21.479 look at what's going on at Norcross, Larry. 1469 01:16:25.020 --> 01:16:29.079 Yeah, Coach Maloof was a long-time coach up there. 1470 01:16:29.340 --> 01:16:34.489 Good, good call. Now, they're struggling. I love the fact 1471 01:16:34.529 --> 01:16:45.119 that Roswell and my buddy J.T. Jonathan Thompson, he's been able, fortunately, 1472 01:16:45.159 --> 01:16:50.260 to avoid that North Atlanta school fallout. So has Eric 1473 01:16:50.300 --> 01:16:55.319 Godfrey at North Gwinnett. Look at what happened to Parkview. First, 1474 01:16:55.359 --> 01:16:58.479 it was Cecil Flo leaving, and then I can't remember 1475 01:16:58.500 --> 01:17:01.380 who was after him, but But Parkey struggled. So it's 1476 01:17:01.420 --> 01:17:03.859 just really weird what has happened. Did you ever think 1477 01:17:03.899 --> 01:17:05.100 you'd see Mill Creek struggle? 1478 01:17:05.149 --> 01:17:05.859 They haven't won a game. 1479 01:17:07.550 --> 01:17:08.569 It's a head-scratcher, man. 1480 01:17:10.489 --> 01:17:14.430 Guys, you remember four years ago? Does anybody remember this? 1481 01:17:15.430 --> 01:17:18.550 They were beating the, you know what, out of Carrollton 1482 01:17:18.750 --> 01:17:19.729 of all people. 1483 01:17:20.250 --> 01:17:21.670 Y'all remember that state championship game? 1484 01:17:22.250 --> 01:17:22.449 Yeah. 1485 01:17:24.979 --> 01:17:27.640 I mean, this is a pattern, guys, okay? This is 1486 01:17:27.659 --> 01:17:28.359 what I'm talking about. 1487 01:17:28.659 --> 01:17:30.439 It's a pattern. And I've only scratched the surface. 1488 01:17:30.460 --> 01:17:33.680 There's so many coaches that I have talked about that, 1489 01:17:34.140 --> 01:17:36.739 you know, look out, man, because the bottom is falling out. 1490 01:17:36.659 --> 01:17:37.600 Whenever you see the coach leave. 1491 01:17:39.020 --> 01:17:42.199 So, speaking of coaches leaving, Luke Bush has, so explain 1492 01:17:42.260 --> 01:17:48.909 TCC coach going to TCC versus current Colquitt situation. So, 1493 01:17:50.850 --> 01:17:53.550 to answer that question, you've got to go back when 1494 01:17:54.489 --> 01:17:58.729 Justin Rogers was hired at Colquitt. Justin Rogers, um, going 1495 01:17:58.770 --> 01:18:03.489 to Colquitt, there was one problem with that. He was 1496 01:18:03.529 --> 01:18:07.869 the guy that was going to follow the guy. So 1497 01:18:07.970 --> 01:18:14.140 Rush Probst is ousted at Colquitt County for very debatable reasons. 1498 01:18:14.640 --> 01:18:16.680 But the fact of the matter is the fan base 1499 01:18:16.779 --> 01:18:20.060 disagreed with it. The fan base wanted Rush to stay. 1500 01:18:21.399 --> 01:18:23.899 And so it did not matter who was going to 1501 01:18:23.939 --> 01:18:27.239 be the next guy in. That fan base was not 1502 01:18:27.279 --> 01:18:27.970 going to accept him. 1503 01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:31.380 So you're saying Rodgers was a victim of circumstance? 1504 01:18:31.739 --> 01:18:35.390 That's exactly what I'm saying. So he was not a 1505 01:18:35.470 --> 01:18:38.409 good fit from the very beginning because of those circumstances. 1506 01:18:38.810 --> 01:18:44.130 Then he goes over to TCC, and they're coming fresh 1507 01:18:44.250 --> 01:18:47.529 off of recent losing seasons, that kind of stuff, and 1508 01:18:47.550 --> 01:18:50.220 they roll out the red carpet for him. it was 1509 01:18:50.260 --> 01:18:54.140 a great fit. They wanted him. He wanted to be there. 1510 01:18:54.579 --> 01:18:58.699 It was a great fit. And so we see in 1511 01:18:58.779 --> 01:19:02.289 hindsight the success that he's had there when everybody is 1512 01:19:02.369 --> 01:19:06.250 rowing in the same direction, right? So when Rodgers goes 1513 01:19:06.310 --> 01:19:08.850 to Colquitt, they were not rowing in the same, they 1514 01:19:08.869 --> 01:19:13.880 were battling each other, the fan base and the head coach, 1515 01:19:14.060 --> 01:19:17.140 the administration. They were not in, in sync, if you will. 1516 01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:21.159 And Rogers is just a great fit for central. Cause 1517 01:19:21.180 --> 01:19:27.199 that's exactly what they were looking for. So, so being 1518 01:19:27.260 --> 01:19:29.979 a fit, whether you're talking about in the corporate world 1519 01:19:30.739 --> 01:19:34.399 or being a head football coach, finding the right fit 1520 01:19:34.500 --> 01:19:37.930 is so important. So if you're a, prospective head coach, 1521 01:19:38.329 --> 01:19:41.649 going into a situation, don't go there just

because it's 1522 01:19:41.670 --> 01:19:43.869 the highest paying job. Make sure it's a good fit 1523 01:19:43.909 --> 01:19:45.350 for you and your family. 1524 01:19:45.850 --> 01:20:03.029 Sure. Who was Luke Bush talking about to Obadiah? 1525 01:20:03.270 --> 01:20:06.270 Obadiah was talking to Luke Bush. Luke was asking the 1526 01:20:06.310 --> 01:20:09.470 question about Rogers and Calgary County. 1527 01:20:10.380 --> 01:20:14.460 Jerry White Bradley says, one person does not a football 1528 01:20:14.479 --> 01:20:20.880 team make. You have to have good talent around you also. So, Jerry, 1529 01:20:23.060 --> 01:20:27.479 by the way, Jerry, are you referring to simply losing 1530 01:20:27.520 --> 01:20:31.170 a good quarterback or losing a head coach? Because I 1531 01:20:31.229 --> 01:20:36.619 will say this, Jerry. I hear what you're saying, but 1532 01:20:37.199 --> 01:20:41.840 I do think, like we're talking about with TCC, and 1533 01:20:41.920 --> 01:20:44.359 I think it's getting blown out of proportion a little bit. 1534 01:20:44.380 --> 01:20:49.229 TCC is solid. I'm talking about, but there is no question. 1535 01:20:50.189 --> 01:20:53.550 The quarterback, Aiden McPherson, takes them from a 9.5 to 1536 01:20:53.770 --> 01:20:54.590 a 10. 1537 01:20:54.590 --> 01:20:54.770 Yeah. 1538 01:20:54.850 --> 01:21:00.060 So I don't think anybody's saying that without Aiden McPherson, 1539 01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:02.460 they would not be any good. That's not what anybody's saying. 1540 01:21:02.840 --> 01:21:04.560 It's just that he is the cherry on top. 1541 01:21:07.239 --> 01:21:07.420 Right. 1542 01:21:07.479 --> 01:21:09.380 And Jerry, I don't know if that's what, and Jerry 1543 01:21:09.420 --> 01:21:11.020 White Bradley, I don't know if that's what you're, you're 1544 01:21:11.100 --> 01:21:14.560 actually referring to. Uh, if, if you're, I don't know. 1545 01:21:14.600 --> 01:21:16.779 I just, um, I'm assuming that's what you are, but 1546 01:21:16.819 --> 01:21:18.939 if I'm not, if that's not, I apologize to you. 1547 01:21:20.000 --> 01:21:24.359 Um, uh, Jim Blair said it was down. 1548 01:21:24.390 --> 01:21:29.289 Yeah. They had downs at, uh, they had Travis Hunter. 1549 01:21:29.369 --> 01:21:31.970 They had, what was his first name? Uh, talking about 1550 01:21:32.010 --> 01:21:35.800 all those players at Collins Hill. Um, Man, they were 1551 01:21:35.840 --> 01:21:36.140 something else. 1552 01:21:36.159 --> 01:21:38.899 Oh, you're talking about the quarterback. They had a fantastic 1553 01:21:38.920 --> 01:21:39.779 quarterback as well. 1554 01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:42.079 Collins Hill? 1555 01:21:42.680 --> 01:21:44.460 Yeah. 1556 01:21:44.520 --> 01:21:49.579 Yeah. I'm drawing a blank here. I say that a lot. Okay. 1557 01:21:49.779 --> 01:21:50.319 Let's see here. 1558 01:21:50.350 --> 01:21:55.069 Uh-oh. We got something going on between Richard Lewis and 1559 01:21:55.229 --> 01:21:56.270 Kendrick Sanders. 1560 01:21:57.409 --> 01:21:59.729 You were wrong then and you're wrong now. We would 1561 01:21:59.770 --> 01:22:01.050 have been fine without him. 1562 01:22:01.109 --> 01:22:01.869 Don't get me wrong. 1563 01:22:01.890 --> 01:22:02.829 We are better with him. 1564 01:22:03.270 --> 01:22:05.829 Who are y'all talking about? Come on. Come on, man. 1565 01:22:05.869 --> 01:22:06.550 Don't leave us out. 1566 01:22:06.970 --> 01:22:07.670 What are you talking. 1567 01:22:09.050 --> 01:22:09.409 About? 1568 01:22:09.569 --> 01:22:10.170 I hate that. 1569 01:22:10.189 --> 01:22:12.069 Get in the middle of these conversations, man. 1570 01:22:12.090 --> 01:22:12.649 That's right. 1571 01:22:13.010 --> 01:22:17.680 There's Luke Bush. But Larry, fans don't play the game. 1572 01:22:17.920 --> 01:22:22.800 He found success quickly. I guess you're talking about DeVos? 1573 01:22:23.859 --> 01:22:27.939 No, he's talking about Rodgers at Central. I guess he's 1574 01:22:27.979 --> 01:22:32.840 talking about Rodgers goes to Central and has success quickly. Well, 1575 01:22:32.880 --> 01:22:35.970 you've got to remember that. Rodgers had success in Colquitt 1576 01:22:35.989 --> 01:22:38.890 as well. They just didn't have the success that that 1577 01:22:39.029 --> 01:22:42.640 fan base expected him to have. I'm just telling you. 1578 01:22:43.380 --> 01:22:44.020 By the way. 1579 01:22:44.239 --> 01:22:47.460 He was a victim of circumstance. It did not matter 1580 01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:50.659 if they went 14-1 and made it to the semifinals. 1581 01:22:50.720 --> 01:22:54.220 That fan base was never, ever going to accept Justin 1582 01:22:54.260 --> 01:22:57.979 Rodgers because the way that they perceived that Rush Probst 1583 01:22:58.039 --> 01:22:58.500 was treated. 1584 01:23:01.060 --> 01:23:01.720 By the way. 1585 01:23:03.180 --> 01:23:07.340 For those of you that are a big fan of 1586 01:23:07.880 --> 01:23:16.979 these state championship games being played in home stadiums, look 1587 01:23:17.050 --> 01:23:21.409 no further than when Justin Rogers, and I know this 1588 01:23:21.430 --> 01:23:25.770 because he told me, he took Colquitt County, and this 1589 01:23:25.810 --> 01:23:28.250 was not a state championship game, but still the same 1590 01:23:28.270 --> 01:23:28.949 thing applies. 1591 01:23:29.510 --> 01:23:29.689 Yeah. 1592 01:23:30.050 --> 01:23:34.909 He took Colquitt County to Norcross. and some of you 1593 01:23:34.930 --> 01:23:36.329 North Colquitt County fans may remember this, some of the 1594 01:23:36.350 --> 01:23:39.760 football fans may remember this. He took Colquitt County, and remember, 1595 01:23:39.779 --> 01:23:47.359 Colquitt County was rolling. High-powered, high-octane offense. Goes to Norcross. 1596 01:23:48.020 --> 01:23:50.920 They let the sprinklers run all night. 1597 01:23:52.920 --> 01:23:53.420 Can you hear me, Larry? 1598 01:23:53.979 --> 01:23:54.699 Yeah, I can hear you. 1599 01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:58.119 Okay.

They let the sprinklers run all night to simulate 1600 01:23:58.199 --> 01:24:04.560 rainfall and thus a wet, soggy field. Norcross was a 1601 01:24:04.760 --> 01:24:07.819 heavy run team. Colquitt County was relying pretty heavily on 1602 01:24:07.859 --> 01:24:12.359 the pass and the run. Well, Norcross won that game 1603 01:24:12.420 --> 01:24:14.960 something like 9-7 or some. 1604 01:24:14.779 --> 01:24:18.260 Low score like that. And Rodgers talked about it. Said, 1605 01:24:18.279 --> 01:24:19.420 you know what? 1606 01:24:19.920 --> 01:24:24.210 Our wide receivers could not run routes. Said they definitely 1607 01:24:24.270 --> 01:24:28.789 made that field a true home field advantage to rely 1608 01:24:28.869 --> 01:24:32.250 on their team strength, which was running the football. So 1609 01:24:32.350 --> 01:24:35.619 I'm just saying that's the danger you run into. If 1610 01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:42.319 you take your team into a visitor stadium, you run 1611 01:24:42.359 --> 01:24:44.539 the risk of some kind of home cooking taking over. 1612 01:24:45.359 --> 01:24:47.039 Just thought I would bring that up. Sure. 1613 01:24:48.479 --> 01:24:54.229 So somebody just asked a question. So C.J. Lane, he's 1614 01:24:54.239 --> 01:24:58.770 got a very intriguing matchup this week. Yeah. What's going 1615 01:24:58.789 --> 01:25:02.880 to happen between Cook and Berrien? up in Adel this week. 1616 01:25:02.899 --> 01:25:04.899 That's going to be a very good one, for sure. 1617 01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:08.789 Big-time game. There's so much riding on that game. 1618 01:25:09.329 --> 01:25:14.670 Homecoming game this Friday night in Cook County. Oh, it is? Listen, 1619 01:25:15.090 --> 01:25:19.779 if I'm the Berrien head coach, I lay this on thick, 1620 01:25:20.380 --> 01:25:25.000 that here's Cook County scheduling you guys to be their 1621 01:25:25.079 --> 01:25:29.710 homecoming opponent. That's how much disrespect they have for you. 1622 01:25:30.130 --> 01:25:33.970 Because everybody knows you schedule the easiest team for homecoming, right? 1623 01:25:34.390 --> 01:25:34.770 That's right. 1624 01:25:35.970 --> 01:25:37.189 And so I play that up all week. 1625 01:25:37.930 --> 01:25:43.029 That's interesting. Yeah, no doubt. Obadiah, what's Obadiah talking about? 1626 01:25:44.100 --> 01:25:46.960 I don't know. I don't know. 1627 01:25:47.979 --> 01:25:49.180 That's so pretty, Obadiah. 1628 01:25:49.199 --> 01:25:52.000 What are you talking about? All right, let's see here. 1629 01:25:52.020 --> 01:25:57.810 Let's see. 1630 01:25:58.539 --> 01:25:59.600 I'm trying to get some of these questions. 1631 01:26:00.170 --> 01:26:05.560 Downs was Mill Creek, Hunter, Collins Hill. Yeah, that's right. 1632 01:26:06.079 --> 01:26:06.500 That's right. 1633 01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:08.619 But, man, what has happened to these teams? 1634 01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:09.619 Yeah. 1635 01:26:09.840 --> 01:26:17.270 Mill Creek. C.J. 1636 01:26:17.359 --> 01:26:17.529 Lane. 1637 01:26:17.550 --> 01:26:18.010 What did C.J. 1638 01:26:18.050 --> 01:26:20.729 Lane say? Oh, yeah. 1639 01:26:20.750 --> 01:26:23.069 So, what do you think about Cook and Larry? 1640 01:26:23.090 --> 01:26:23.770 Let me hear you. 1641 01:26:25.109 --> 01:26:29.899 This is a very intriguing matchup. Now– I am going 1642 01:26:29.939 --> 01:26:33.640 to try to apply an objective answer to this. But 1643 01:26:33.760 --> 01:26:36.260 everybody knows that's going to be impossible because of my 1644 01:26:36.300 --> 01:26:37.260 ties to Berrien County. 1645 01:26:37.640 --> 01:26:38.199 That's right. Right? 1646 01:26:39.859 --> 01:26:46.739 So, I'm going to summarize this game feel in one sentence. 1647 01:26:47.279 --> 01:26:47.500 Okay? 1648 01:26:47.979 --> 01:26:48.680 It's really a question. 1649 01:26:49.199 --> 01:26:49.439 Okay. 1650 01:26:50.479 --> 01:26:56.039 Can Berrien's rushing attack get going again? Because up to 1651 01:26:56.579 --> 01:27:00.350 when they met Thomasville, I mean, they were dominating opponents 1652 01:27:00.409 --> 01:27:03.710 with their rushing attack, okay? Can he get back on 1653 01:27:03.810 --> 01:27:08.399 track against a Cook defense that creates negative plays, okay? 1654 01:27:09.260 --> 01:27:13.600 So if Cook turns this into a low possession physical 1655 01:27:13.659 --> 01:27:16.779 game in Adel where it's low scoring, then I like 1656 01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:19.020 Cook County. Man, I love that Notre Dame helmet you 1657 01:27:19.060 --> 01:27:20.300 just picked up, Phil. 1658 01:27:20.340 --> 01:27:21.359 That's the kitchen, baby. 1659 01:27:24.079 --> 01:27:25.300 I say that every week now. 1660 01:27:25.460 --> 01:27:26.859 You do. You really do. 1661 01:27:26.920 --> 01:27:35.899 Spoiler. So, you know, Berrien's 4-1, but it's no secret. 1662 01:27:35.939 --> 01:27:39.649 There's no mystery on how Berrien got to 4-1. They 1663 01:27:39.750 --> 01:27:41.949 love to run the ball, and they love to run 1664 01:27:41.989 --> 01:27:46.289 the ball with their quarterback. Their quarterback, Cash Perkins, is 1665 01:27:46.350 --> 01:27:51.279 a fantastic athlete. But here's the thing I saw against Thomasville. 1666 01:27:51.840 --> 01:27:55.340 Thomasville sold out to shut down that running game and 1667 01:27:55.539 --> 01:27:59.039 dared Berrien to throw the ball, and they were not successful. 1668 01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:03.079 So I'm expecting Cook to do the same thing. They're 1669 01:28:03.100 --> 01:28:06.460 going to sell out, put seven, eight guys, maybe even 1670 01:28:06.579 --> 01:28:09.600 nine guys in the box, force Berrien to air this 1671 01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:12.479 thing out, and if the Rebels can't do it, then 1672 01:28:12.520 --> 01:28:13.100 I like Cook. 1673 01:28:14.739 --> 01:28:17.140 Okay, so what you're saying is that Berrien's having trouble 1674 01:28:17.180 --> 01:28:17.779 throwing the football. 1675 01:28:19.819 --> 01:28:22.149 That's what I saw against

Thomasville. Now, I've been told 1676 01:28:22.189 --> 01:28:25.750 that they've had better success earlier in the season throwing 1677 01:28:25.770 --> 01:28:29.130 the ball because their running game was so effective. Obviously, 1678 01:28:29.649 --> 01:28:31.439 Barron's going to be one of those teams to run it, 1679 01:28:31.949 --> 01:28:33.899 run it, run it, and that's going to set up 1680 01:28:34.100 --> 01:28:38.649 their passing game. But Thomasville, they dared Berrien to throw 1681 01:28:38.689 --> 01:28:42.439 it from the very beginning, right? And so Berrien was 1682 01:28:42.979 --> 01:28:46.260 unable to do that. So if Cook sells out, forces 1683 01:28:46.319 --> 01:28:50.100 Berrien into a passing game, if Berrien's able to do it, 1684 01:28:50.260 --> 01:28:53.760 that's going to back Cook's front seven off the ball 1685 01:28:53.779 --> 01:28:58.180 a little bit to guard the outside, then that might 1686 01:28:58.340 --> 01:29:01.159 open up their running game. But unless Berrien can connect 1687 01:29:01.239 --> 01:29:04.109 on some passing early in that game, I just don't– 1688 01:29:04.579 --> 01:29:06.979 I just– it's going to– they're going to have to 1689 01:29:07.140 --> 01:29:10.680 put the game on the backs of the defense, and 1690 01:29:10.699 --> 01:29:12.409 I don't know if they have the horses to do it. 1691 01:29:13.210 --> 01:29:15.329 Okay, let's get everybody back on track here, okay? 1692 01:29:15.409 --> 01:29:17.149 Let's get everybody back on track. All right, guys, listen. 1693 01:29:17.510 --> 01:29:18.090 Let me ask you. 1694 01:29:19.789 --> 01:29:23.729 We're talking about potential matchups. Thomas County Central is looking 1695 01:29:23.770 --> 01:29:24.350 very strong. 1696 01:29:24.850 --> 01:29:25.029 Yeah. 1697 01:29:25.569 --> 01:29:31.300 If Thomas County Central played Carrollton, What do. 1698 01:29:31.279 --> 01:29:31.899 You think would happen? 1699 01:29:34.100 --> 01:29:36.399 If Thomas County Central plays Carrollton. 1700 01:29:36.500 --> 01:29:38.680 I want you all to think about that very carefully 1701 01:29:38.699 --> 01:29:41.199 before you blurt something out because Thomas County Central is 1702 01:29:41.220 --> 01:29:42.140 looking very good. 1703 01:29:42.579 --> 01:29:42.899 Sure. 1704 01:29:45.189 --> 01:29:48.869 Carrollton, there's an argument they could very well be the 1705 01:29:48.909 --> 01:29:50.729 best team in the state. I'll ask you this. 1706 01:29:51.170 --> 01:29:53.270 I think Creekside is a team to want. There's so 1707 01:29:53.289 --> 01:29:55.590 many teams I'm saying that about in 6A, and we 1708 01:29:55.630 --> 01:29:57.069 haven't even really talked about Milton. 1709 01:29:59.630 --> 01:30:00.729 You see what I'm saying? 1710 01:30:00.750 --> 01:30:00.869 Mm-hmm. 1711 01:30:01.859 --> 01:30:03.619 Go ahead, Larry. I'm just– I'm putting a. 1712 01:30:03.600 --> 01:30:04.239 Lot of stuff on you. 1713 01:30:05.159 --> 01:30:10.500 Yeah, so– yeah, you threw a lot. I think I 1714 01:30:10.539 --> 01:30:12.159 have a better– I think I have a better question 1715 01:30:12.180 --> 01:30:14.159 to answer your Carrollton question, okay? 1716 01:30:14.380 --> 01:30:14.640 Okay. 1717 01:30:15.079 --> 01:30:19.520 If– so, to answer your question, is Carrollton the best 1718 01:30:19.600 --> 01:30:22.829 team in the state? So, it goes back to my 1719 01:30:22.869 --> 01:30:26.489 original question earlier was, are they better than Buford, okay? 1720 01:30:26.909 --> 01:30:31.239 Are they better than Central? I think the better question– 1721 01:30:31.479 --> 01:30:34.859 in my mind is, is Carrollton a more complete team 1722 01:30:34.979 --> 01:30:40.180 than Buford? We know that both teams have stellar athletes, okay? 1723 01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:43.579 Buford's probably got more of them, but Carrollton is right 1724 01:30:43.619 --> 01:30:48.020 up there as well, okay? So we saw in a matchup, what, 1725 01:30:48.220 --> 01:30:50.640 either last season or the season before, that it was 1726 01:30:50.659 --> 01:30:53.539 a pretty good game, Carrollton and Buford, right? So I 1727 01:30:53.579 --> 01:30:55.920 think Carrollton does have the horses to be able to 1728 01:30:55.960 --> 01:30:59.390 compete with Buford, but do they have the depth to 1729 01:30:59.430 --> 01:31:05.829 compete with Buford? Buford's game plan for the last 25 1730 01:31:05.829 --> 01:31:10.039 years has been to beat you with depth. It's recognizable 1731 01:31:10.079 --> 01:31:13.800 they have athletes across the board, but what Buford brings 1732 01:31:13.840 --> 01:31:16.819 to the table that's more impressive than anything is they 1733 01:31:16.840 --> 01:31:20.000 can just wear you down. They don't have to get fancy. 1734 01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:24.779 Buford ball is run the ball right at you, wear 1735 01:31:24.819 --> 01:31:28.189 you out, and then throw enough to keep you honest 1736 01:31:28.449 --> 01:31:31.239 so they can run the ball consistently and wear you out. 1737 01:31:31.659 --> 01:31:33.100 Well, you're right. 1738 01:31:33.340 --> 01:31:34.060 Go ahead. 1739 01:31:35.060 --> 01:31:37.539 Carrollton is one of those teams that does have the 1740 01:31:37.600 --> 01:31:40.899 horses to be able to slow Buford down. But unless 1741 01:31:40.979 --> 01:31:46.970 Carrollton can get up by two scores, when it comes 1742 01:31:47.050 --> 01:31:49.590 fourth quarter, I just don't think they have the stamina 1743 01:31:49.930 --> 01:31:53.090 to outlast Buford. And that's the problem that I see 1744 01:31:53.130 --> 01:31:59.399 with Central as well. Man for man in the top 11, 1745 01:31:59.399 --> 01:32:03.079 top 22, I think Central might be just as talented 1746 01:32:03.590 --> 01:32:07.649 with their starting 11 on offense as Buford has on defense. 1747 01:32:08.250 --> 01:32:09.989 But do they have the depth to be able to 1748 01:32:10.029 --> 01:32:13.260 compete with Buford over four quarters? I just don't think

1749 01:32:13.300 --> 01:32:14.720 that answer is yes quite yet. 1750 01:32:15.699 --> 01:32:17.619 You know, let's look back at last year when Thomas 1751 01:32:17.640 --> 01:32:21.579 County Central went and they were running roughshod through everybody. Remember, 1752 01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:24.600 they played Gainesville and everybody thought, okay, this is going 1753 01:32:24.619 --> 01:32:30.939 to be the big matchup. The absolute lore. 1754 01:32:31.930 --> 01:32:36.050 Now, in fairness, remember, Gainesville was going through a mess. 1755 01:32:38.029 --> 01:32:43.649 Remember that? They had all the mass player suspension. Yeah. 1756 01:32:44.550 --> 01:32:48.460 But I think he didn't get appealed or something like that. Anyway, 1757 01:32:48.960 --> 01:32:52.039 my point being, there was a lot of distraction last 1758 01:32:52.079 --> 01:32:53.199 year for Gainesville. 1759 01:32:54.380 --> 01:32:57.020 I'm not making any excuses. I'm just saying that's a fact. 1760 01:32:57.060 --> 01:32:57.399 There was. 1761 01:32:57.939 --> 01:33:00.409 So if a team can go in with their 100% 1762 01:33:00.409 --> 01:33:04.609 of their thoughts focused on Central, they're going to need that. 1763 01:33:04.710 --> 01:33:07.890 But again, I just like 6A because you've got so 1764 01:33:07.949 --> 01:33:12.590 many opponents that could possibly present some kind of opponent 1765 01:33:13.170 --> 01:33:17.489 for Thomas County Central. Again, I like, you know, we've 1766 01:33:17.510 --> 01:33:21.529 got to remember Roswell. You know, Roswell, get their helmet 1767 01:33:21.569 --> 01:33:22.489 up here. Coffee. 1768 01:33:22.770 --> 01:33:24.250 People chuckle when I say coffee. 1769 01:33:24.270 --> 01:33:28.210 Man, I'm telling you, I've seen these Mike Coe coach 1770 01:33:28.250 --> 01:33:30.689 football teams when he was at Madison County. 1771 01:33:31.960 --> 01:33:34.760 This guy builds machines, man. 1772 01:33:35.079 --> 01:33:35.380 Sure. 1773 01:33:36.079 --> 01:33:38.260 I am telling you guys, listen to me, what I'm 1774 01:33:38.300 --> 01:33:42.909 telling you. So don't laugh. 1775 01:33:43.689 --> 01:33:48.770 Am I saying coffee can do it? Well, yes, they can. 1776 01:33:48.850 --> 01:33:49.189 Will they? 1777 01:33:49.270 --> 01:33:49.590 I don't know. 1778 01:33:49.609 --> 01:33:50.869 That's another big question. 1779 01:33:51.390 --> 01:33:51.550 Yeah. 1780 01:33:51.609 --> 01:33:54.949 But here's the go. The higher you go, the better. 1781 01:33:54.710 --> 01:33:55.210 The air gets. 1782 01:33:55.930 --> 01:34:00.109 Yeah. He's exactly right. Now, Phil, can I address something 1783 01:34:00.350 --> 01:34:01.079 that's been bothering you? 1784 01:34:01.149 --> 01:34:02.369 Yes. Yes, go ahead, Larry. 1785 01:34:03.550 --> 01:34:08.130 So now I'm not addressing this stuff. specifically at jose 1786 01:34:08.149 --> 01:34:10.890 badia i know jose likes to pick on me sometimes 1787 01:34:11.050 --> 01:34:13.050 and i give it right back to him but but 1788 01:34:13.109 --> 01:34:17.170 i've noticed fans in general when they watch shows like 1789 01:34:17.310 --> 01:34:22.949 ours sometimes hear things that we don't say right and 1790 01:34:23.170 --> 01:34:26.880 and it bothers me some so when i know jose's 1791 01:34:26.920 --> 01:34:28.760 picking on me but i'm trying to make a point 1792 01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:31.220 with his comment he says lg needs to head north 1793 01:34:31.260 --> 01:34:34.449 to tifton first he He picked against his Vikings. Now 1794 01:34:34.510 --> 01:34:36.729 he's burying rebels. You ought to wear the yellow shirt 1795 01:34:36.789 --> 01:34:41.050 and black pants again. So I don't know if I've 1796 01:34:41.170 --> 01:34:45.979 ever picked against Lowndes. I don't think in a couple 1797 01:34:45.989 --> 01:34:48.260 of minutes ago when I described the Cook-Berrien game, I 1798 01:34:48.300 --> 01:34:52.100 don't think I picked Cook. What you heard me say 1799 01:34:52.180 --> 01:34:56.720 was if Berrien can't do this, then I see this happening. 1800 01:34:57.460 --> 01:34:59.859 What if Cook does this? Then it's going to force 1801 01:34:59.899 --> 01:35:02.600 Berrien to do that. And if Berrien can't overcome this, 1802 01:35:03.100 --> 01:35:05.619 then I like Cook. There's a lot of if statements 1803 01:35:05.659 --> 01:35:08.239 in there. I'm giving you, trying to give you an 1804 01:35:08.310 --> 01:35:12.189 objective way that I look at these matchups. That doesn't 1805 01:35:12.310 --> 01:35:15.449 necessarily mean that I pick a team. For example, last 1806 01:35:15.489 --> 01:35:17.609 week I went out of my way to try to 1807 01:35:17.770 --> 01:35:22.949 break down what I saw between Lee and TCC, and 1808 01:35:22.989 --> 01:35:27.130 a lot of TCC fans heard me say, hey, Lee 1809 01:35:27.170 --> 01:35:29.229 County's definitely going to win this game. But when you 1810 01:35:29.270 --> 01:35:31.550 go back and look, I gave a lot of if 1811 01:35:31.689 --> 01:35:34.270 this happens statements Then I expect this to happen. But 1812 01:35:34.310 --> 01:35:38.479 in the end, I picked TCC to win 28-24. So 1813 01:35:38.500 --> 01:35:42.539 you guys need to listen closely to these assessments. I 1814 01:35:42.560 --> 01:35:45.699 don't pick one way or the other based on the assessment. 1815 01:35:46.039 --> 01:35:48.640 I use a lot of if this happens, then I 1816 01:35:48.680 --> 01:35:49.220 expect that. 1817 01:35:51.520 --> 01:35:53.930 I got you. I got you. 1818 01:35:55.949 --> 01:35:56.310 All right. 1819 01:35:57.810 --> 01:36:04.180 Let's see here. Kendrick Sanders says, I'm with you, LG. 1820 01:36:04.229 --> 01:36:06.619 I have no idea what he's with you. Do you 1821 01:36:06.739 --> 01:36:07.359 know what he's talking about? 1822 01:36:09.000 --> 01:36:13.180 I don't know. Jose Badia says, yeah, I know. I know. 1823 01:36:13.199 --> 01:36:16.260 I'm just stirring things up, LG. I know. That's why 1824 01:36:16.300 --> 01:36:18.760 I

said what I said. I know you're picking on me, 1825 01:36:19.140 --> 01:36:23.020 but I'm using your comment to drive home a point. Now, 1826 01:36:23.079 --> 01:36:27.710 Justin Kyle Haley agrees with me when I'm talking about, 1827 01:36:28.449 --> 01:36:31.470 I don't think that that TCC has the depth to 1828 01:36:31.529 --> 01:36:34.520 go toe-to-toe with Buford for four quarters. And he makes 1829 01:36:34.560 --> 01:36:36.840 a really good point. He says the strength to Central 1830 01:36:36.859 --> 01:36:41.260 this year is their team speed. And he's right, especially 1831 01:36:41.279 --> 01:36:42.359 with Aiden McPherson, right? 1832 01:36:42.659 --> 01:36:43.500 Right, right. 1833 01:36:44.439 --> 01:36:48.489 Yeah, it's a good point. What's up, Justin Kyle Haley? 1834 01:36:51.590 --> 01:36:53.210 Did Kerry Claiborne leave us? 1835 01:36:53.550 --> 01:36:55.850 Did Big Buford leave us, by the way? 1836 01:36:57.010 --> 01:37:00.779 They may have. I think, you know, just between us two, 1837 01:37:02.420 --> 01:37:03.810 I think they might be up to something. 1838 01:37:03.819 --> 01:37:06.949 Yeah, it looks like they got something scheming, don't they? 1839 01:37:07.250 --> 01:37:07.630 That's right. 1840 01:37:09.090 --> 01:37:11.869 Jose Padilla, thank you, man. You guys are professional and 1841 01:37:11.970 --> 01:37:15.789 break it down, break down like an ESPN. Man, that's 1842 01:37:15.850 --> 01:37:16.369 very nice. 1843 01:37:16.390 --> 01:37:17.630 Man, what a great compliment. 1844 01:37:18.390 --> 01:37:21.210 Wow, Jose, I am blown away, man. Thank you for that. 1845 01:37:21.229 --> 01:37:25.119 Oh, wait a minute. He was talking about somebody else. No, 1846 01:37:25.180 --> 01:37:26.640 I'm just kidding. I think he was talking about us. 1847 01:37:28.670 --> 01:37:29.369 Let's see here. 1848 01:37:29.810 --> 01:37:33.520 Tony Wynn, TCCH Jacket Nation, checking in. 1849 01:37:33.529 --> 01:37:36.189 What's up, Tony? Glad to see you here in the house. 1850 01:37:36.909 --> 01:37:39.010 Jose, I'm assuming that was for us, wasn't it, buddy? 1851 01:37:39.189 --> 01:37:47.430 I'm assuming that was. Let's see here. So, Larry, how 1852 01:37:47.470 --> 01:37:51.670 do you see, I mean, you know, we've talked about 1853 01:37:51.810 --> 01:37:52.550 Region 17A. 1854 01:37:52.649 --> 01:37:58.140 Yeah. You know, still up for grabs. You know, you 1855 01:37:58.180 --> 01:38:03.789 look over at 2-6A. You know, again, who's going to 1856 01:38:03.810 --> 01:38:06.550 take that one? I think the easy answer is Thomas 1857 01:38:06.569 --> 01:38:07.409 County Central. 1858 01:38:07.909 --> 01:38:08.149 Yeah. 1859 01:38:08.409 --> 01:38:12.689 But I think you've got a, you know, I think 1860 01:38:12.729 --> 01:38:18.899 you've got coffee. I really like coffee. I keep saying that. 1861 01:38:19.479 --> 01:38:21.840 And I'm talking about the team. Plus, I like to drink, too. 1862 01:38:22.640 --> 01:38:26.939 I like coffee a lot. I like trying to think 1863 01:38:26.949 --> 01:38:29.859 who else. By the way, don't look now, but guess 1864 01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:32.720 who's playing really good football? Veterans. 1865 01:38:32.760 --> 01:38:33.079 Who's that? 1866 01:38:33.739 --> 01:38:33.939 Who? 1867 01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:35.000 Veterans. 1868 01:38:35.680 --> 01:38:37.000 Veterans had a big win. 1869 01:38:38.399 --> 01:38:41.220 Listen, Steve Novorosny, just a matter of him getting that 1870 01:38:41.260 --> 01:38:42.600 team like he wants them to play. 1871 01:38:42.970 --> 01:38:45.989 Guy has always been a winner, no matter where he's been. 1872 01:38:46.770 --> 01:38:51.079 You know? And I'm sure he's still going to be 1873 01:38:51.539 --> 01:38:54.960 doing great things. While he's better, he already has. But 1874 01:38:54.979 --> 01:38:57.439 I'm just trying to think how you see that region 1875 01:38:58.050 --> 01:39:01.159 sorting out in Region 268. 1876 01:39:01.409 --> 01:39:05.149 Well, obviously, the easy answer, like you said, TCC. So 1877 01:39:05.250 --> 01:39:07.390 I'm just going to say TCC is going to win 1878 01:39:07.409 --> 01:39:10.829 this thing. So then the question is, well, who's going 1879 01:39:10.850 --> 01:39:14.829 to take second? So I think it's TCC's region and 1880 01:39:14.869 --> 01:39:20.489 then everybody else. Until someone steps up and proves otherwise, 1881 01:39:21.069 --> 01:39:25.529 they're the man. Yep. Lee County gave it their best shot. 1882 01:39:25.810 --> 01:39:31.460 They came up way, way short. So is coffee capable 1883 01:39:32.739 --> 01:39:35.560 of beating Central? Right now, I don't think so. 1884 01:39:37.079 --> 01:39:41.649 Do we– let's see here. 1885 01:39:41.670 --> 01:39:42.810 I was trying to think here. 1886 01:39:42.949 --> 01:39:43.090 Okay. 1887 01:39:45.250 --> 01:39:47.960 Okay. Hold on a second. Kelly Mitchell, I'm back, Phil. 1888 01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:51.539 Brooke's checking in. Hopefully we can get back on track. Kerry, 1889 01:39:51.560 --> 01:39:53.800 I was just asking about you, man. Where have you been? 1890 01:39:54.880 --> 01:39:58.560 Kerry Claver left us for dinner. You know you can 1891 01:39:58.619 --> 01:40:00.960 eat dinner while you're watching the show. Matter of fact, 1892 01:40:01.060 --> 01:40:02.960 I can't eat without watching some kind of show. 1893 01:40:03.859 --> 01:40:06.210 Where did he go? Kerry, you had to go eat. 1894 01:40:06.220 --> 01:40:07.420 He went to eat dinner, man. 1895 01:40:07.600 --> 01:40:10.920 I know, but man, can you not eat? By the way, 1896 01:40:11.399 --> 01:40:14.279 I got to ask. Larry? 1897 01:40:14.300 --> 01:40:15.140 Yeah? 1898 01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:20.000 What kind of household are you guys? 1899 01:40:20.600 --> 01:40:23.340 Is it a turn the TV off while we're eating 1900 01:40:23.380 --> 01:40:27.350 dinner or must have the TV on while we're eating dinner? 1901 01:40:29.189 --> 01:40:33.609 Does anyone turn the TV off anymore? 1902

01:40:34.869 --> 01:40:35.909 So obviously y'all don't. 1903 01:40:37.770 --> 01:40:42.130 No, not really. Well, the way we, you know, Al 1904 01:40:42.949 --> 01:40:45.060 and I are basically empty nesters now. 1905 01:40:45.930 --> 01:40:48.350 Okay, that's right. 1906 01:40:48.689 --> 01:40:54.010 So what we do is sometimes we'll watch a football 1907 01:40:54.029 --> 01:40:57.250 game and eat and talk about it. Sometimes, yes, Ellen 1908 01:40:57.310 --> 01:40:59.760 sits there and watches a football game with me. And 1909 01:40:59.800 --> 01:41:03.220 sometimes I'll sit there and watch one of her programs 1910 01:41:03.300 --> 01:41:06.640 or detective shows or whatever, and we'll eat and talk 1911 01:41:06.680 --> 01:41:08.239 about what's going on in the show. 1912 01:41:08.819 --> 01:41:11.300 Okay, I got you. So the reason I'm asking, there 1913 01:41:11.340 --> 01:41:15.090 are still some families who, my late brother, may God 1914 01:41:15.149 --> 01:41:20.140 rest his soul, Steve, he was a real big stickler for, 1915 01:41:20.199 --> 01:41:22.520 you know, when it's time to eat dinner, we're going 1916 01:41:22.539 --> 01:41:23.479 to shut the TV off. 1917 01:41:24.180 --> 01:41:24.380 Yeah. 1918 01:41:24.899 --> 01:41:26.039 And I told him, I said, I don't like that. 1919 01:41:27.479 --> 01:41:29.970 I said, dude, go turn the TV back on. For one, 1920 01:41:30.010 --> 01:41:34.329 you know, it just creates this kind of uncomfortableness. Yeah, 1921 01:41:34.350 --> 01:41:36.710 I think the TV helps to be a conversation starter. 1922 01:41:37.430 --> 01:41:38.149 Could be, could be. 1923 01:41:38.750 --> 01:41:41.310 You know, it just, I need the back, look guys, 1924 01:41:41.680 --> 01:41:43.399 I have background noise while I'm sleeping. 1925 01:41:44.600 --> 01:41:44.979 Are you really? 1926 01:41:45.710 --> 01:41:52.829 Whoa, 100%. I've been listening to the radio before we 1927 01:41:52.869 --> 01:41:55.770 had internet. I mean, there was no way I was 1928 01:41:55.789 --> 01:41:58.409 going to go to bed without the radio on. Coast 1929 01:41:58.430 --> 01:42:01.170 to coast AM, if all y'all know what I'm talking about. 1930 01:42:01.850 --> 01:42:02.569 We used to. 1931 01:42:02.529 --> 01:42:04.970 Listen to that early part of our marriage. Yeah, we 1932 01:42:04.989 --> 01:42:05.750 would do the same thing. 1933 01:42:06.250 --> 01:42:06.850 Yeah, okay. 1934 01:42:07.550 --> 01:42:11.880 So now it's, you know, I love to listen to 1935 01:42:11.909 --> 01:42:14.199 these audio Bible verses at night that kind of tell 1936 01:42:14.260 --> 01:42:17.380 the story of the Bible. But, you know, they're really 1937 01:42:17.399 --> 01:42:20.779 cool to go to sleep to. I would suggest checking 1938 01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:21.579 them out, guys, if you haven't. 1939 01:42:21.920 --> 01:42:24.350 But it's just kind of the same thing. 1940 01:42:24.359 --> 01:42:25.819 I thought I would mention that, you know, when you're 1941 01:42:25.850 --> 01:42:29.590 eating dinner. That's why I was asking Kerry if they 1942 01:42:29.609 --> 01:42:31.350 had to go, you know, shut the TV off, the 1943 01:42:31.369 --> 01:42:34.050 computer off in this case or whatever, so that they 1944 01:42:34.069 --> 01:42:34.869 could eat dinner. 1945 01:42:34.890 --> 01:42:38.770 They have to get away from us. And by the way, Kerry, 1946 01:42:38.789 --> 01:42:40.270 where did Big Luke Nelson go? 1947 01:42:44.520 --> 01:42:47.090 So, Phil, when you take a look, you asked me 1948 01:42:47.130 --> 01:42:53.569 about specifically Region 2-6A. Okay. So Central's got– you take 1949 01:42:53.590 --> 01:42:58.229 a look at Central's schedule. They just got through beating 1950 01:42:58.609 --> 01:43:02.619 Lee County pretty bad. So ahead of them, they've got– 1951 01:43:02.649 --> 01:43:06.119 they're at home this week against veterans. Then they're going 1952 01:43:06.140 --> 01:43:09.039 to be at Houston County. They're going to be hosting 1953 01:43:09.100 --> 01:43:12.180 Tift County. And then the big one, they're going to 1954 01:43:12.199 --> 01:43:13.260 be hosting coffee. 1955 01:43:13.880 --> 01:43:14.000 Yep. 1956 01:43:16.119 --> 01:43:19.239 Since they're going to be in Thomasville, that game is 1957 01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:20.310 not even going to be close. 1958 01:43:22.489 --> 01:43:23.050 Between who? 1959 01:43:24.489 --> 01:43:25.449 Central and Coffey. 1960 01:43:26.710 --> 01:43:27.390 You don't think it is? 1961 01:43:28.090 --> 01:43:28.750 Not even close. 1962 01:43:30.270 --> 01:43:30.789 I disagree. 1963 01:43:31.609 --> 01:43:35.439 Okay. Now, when you say close, are you talking seven-point game, 1964 01:43:35.479 --> 01:43:36.159 ten-point game? 1965 01:43:37.140 --> 01:43:40.979 Well, that's a good point. I think we have to qualify. 1966 01:43:41.800 --> 01:43:44.920 Nowadays, when you're talking Central, you're talking– A close game 1967 01:43:44.960 --> 01:43:46.119 could be a 21 point difference. 1968 01:43:47.130 --> 01:43:49.210 That's what I mean. Yeah. You have to qualify what 1969 01:43:49.229 --> 01:43:53.210 means close. Yeah. I think with, with like coffee central, 1970 01:43:53.310 --> 01:43:57.430 I think coffee's got a good enough, uh, talent where 1971 01:43:57.449 --> 01:44:02.029 I think they can hold it. Like, uh, yeah, I'm 1972 01:44:02.060 --> 01:44:07.420 thinking like, uh, 35, 14. Yeah. And that's a close 1973 01:44:07.500 --> 01:44:10.979 game for Thomas County central. But I think that's where, 1974 01:44:11.060 --> 01:44:12.359 I think that's where coffee is. Yeah. 1975 01:44:12.720 --> 01:44:16.250 Now I have, I have all kinds of respect for, 1976 01:44:16.449 --> 01:44:19.869 for Mike Coe. You know, I've got his cell phone number. We, we, uh, 1977 01:44:20.850 --> 01:44:22.909 we taught when he first came to, he came on 1978 01:44:22.949 --> 01:44:25.340 my show. I did an interview with him, that kind 1979 01:44:25.359 --> 01:44:28.939 of stuff.

So, um, I respect the heck of what 1980 01:44:28.979 --> 01:44:31.659 he's done in, in coffee Canada. Earlier, a while ago, you, 1981 01:44:31.779 --> 01:44:33.760 you made a point where, you know, when a long 1982 01:44:33.840 --> 01:44:36.939 time head coach leaves, sometimes the program will just go south. 1983 01:44:38.050 --> 01:44:42.090 When Robbie Pruitt left coffee, Mike Coe takes over. It 1984 01:44:42.170 --> 01:44:46.470 not only didn't go south, It got even better, right? 1985 01:44:46.869 --> 01:44:50.029 So that speaks volumes to what Coe has been able 1986 01:44:50.069 --> 01:44:53.170 to do in Coffey County. He's really taken that program 1987 01:44:53.289 --> 01:44:54.069 up another notch. 1988 01:44:55.689 --> 01:44:55.869 Yeah. 1989 01:44:56.409 --> 01:45:02.279 But so has Central, right? And Coffey is just right now, 1990 01:45:02.380 --> 01:45:05.479 I believe. Now, Chris Pace, some of you Coffey fans, 1991 01:45:05.659 --> 01:45:08.060 Stephen Tate can correct me if I'm wrong, but I 1992 01:45:08.100 --> 01:45:12.140 just see Coffey's two big strengths. They're pretty good defensively. 1993 01:45:13.250 --> 01:45:15.869 And they're really, really good at running the ball as well. 1994 01:45:18.130 --> 01:45:23.439 So when you look at a matchup with Thomas County Central, 1995 01:45:24.600 --> 01:45:30.479 is Coffey's running game enough to overcome Central's defense? That's 1996 01:45:30.500 --> 01:45:34.619 really what it boils down to. And is Coffey's defense 1997 01:45:35.359 --> 01:45:41.050 enough to not just slow down Central's really good offense, 1998 01:45:41.890 --> 01:45:45.710 but can they slow down Central's offense and contain Aiden 1999 01:45:45.750 --> 01:45:49.829 McPherson at the same time? And so you might be 2000 01:45:49.850 --> 01:45:52.170 able to be successful at one of those things, but 2001 01:45:52.210 --> 01:45:54.029 I don't think they're going to be successful at both 2002 01:45:54.050 --> 01:45:54.609 of those things. 2003 01:45:55.170 --> 01:45:55.350 Yeah. 2004 01:45:55.550 --> 01:45:58.119 And so because of that, it's going to be close 2005 01:45:58.159 --> 01:46:02.140 to begin with, but Central will start pulling away about 2006 01:46:02.260 --> 01:46:04.500 midway through the second quarter and they won't look back. 2007 01:46:05.000 --> 01:46:08.159 Yeah, I agree with that. I wouldn't disagree with that 2008 01:46:08.180 --> 01:46:10.600 at all. I think it'll be a little bit closer, though. 2009 01:46:11.329 --> 01:46:14.979 I do. I just really think that I think coffee 2010 01:46:15.060 --> 01:46:17.079 is a lot better than people are giving them credit for. 2011 01:46:17.680 --> 01:46:20.140 Yeah. They're a fantastic team. 2012 01:46:20.760 --> 01:46:24.180 Listen, here's what I like about coffee. They got that 2013 01:46:24.340 --> 01:46:26.560 strong running back. 2014 01:46:27.199 --> 01:46:27.380 Yeah. 2015 01:46:28.699 --> 01:46:31.300 And, man, I've seen all those state championship teams that 2016 01:46:31.359 --> 01:46:35.789 Coe had down at Madison. Yeah. I got to be 2017 01:46:35.810 --> 01:46:43.479 honest with you. Madison County under Coe, was almost identical, Larry, 2018 01:46:44.260 --> 01:46:48.659 to what we're seeing from Thomas County Central under Rogers. 2019 01:46:49.420 --> 01:46:49.680 Okay. 2020 01:46:50.159 --> 01:46:53.590 I mean, it was just blowout city, one after another 2021 01:46:53.729 --> 01:46:58.569 after another. Playoffs come, didn't matter. We were going to 2022 01:46:58.590 --> 01:47:01.369 see blowout then. And it just went that way into 2023 01:47:01.449 --> 01:47:03.789 and through the state championship game. None of them were close. 2024 01:47:04.930 --> 01:47:08.470 Here's how I would compare the two. You were more 2025 01:47:08.510 --> 01:47:12.829 familiar with Madison County. than I was. But this is 2026 01:47:12.850 --> 01:47:16.430 the way I see Madison County back then and Thomas 2027 01:47:16.470 --> 01:47:20.729 County Central now under Justin Rogers. Like it or not, 2028 01:47:21.710 --> 01:47:23.810 both were destination schools for athletes. 2029 01:47:25.409 --> 01:47:25.649 True. 2030 01:47:27.489 --> 01:47:31.340 You combine that with excellent coaching at both of those schools. 2031 01:47:32.100 --> 01:47:36.159 That is a deadly combination field. When you have great coaching, 2032 01:47:37.000 --> 01:47:39.939 really good facilities, and now all of a sudden you 2033 01:47:40.000 --> 01:47:43.800 are a destination school for transfers? I mean, that's a 2034 01:47:43.880 --> 01:47:45.800 recipe for fantastic success. 2035 01:47:46.340 --> 01:47:50.960 Oh, no doubt about it. No doubt about it. Okay, 2036 01:47:51.000 --> 01:47:54.520 Justin Kalahealy offered some comments here. Going to be interesting 2037 01:47:54.560 --> 01:47:57.140 for Fitzgerald moving forward if the rumors are true. 2038 01:47:57.720 --> 01:47:59.439 Transfer portal is alive and well. 2039 01:47:59.479 --> 01:48:00.159 It'll help Coffey. 2040 01:48:02.199 --> 01:48:06.020 So they're hinting that did a running back transfer from 2041 01:48:06.090 --> 01:48:07.850 Fitzgerald to Coffey? Is that what they're talking about? 2042 01:48:08.210 --> 01:48:08.670 I'm not sure. 2043 01:48:10.850 --> 01:48:15.659 Randolph Clay over everyone, 5-0, but seriously has to be 2044 01:48:15.680 --> 01:48:19.510 the most impressive thing to start the season across the board. Yep. 2045 01:48:19.520 --> 01:48:24.800 they're doing really well. All right, Jose Badia. Steve Dvorzny 2046 01:48:25.000 --> 01:48:29.710 is Coach Rogers' mentor. Coach Rogers was his offensive coordinator 2047 01:48:29.789 --> 01:48:31.770 at Griffin when they won it all. I did not 2048 01:48:31.909 --> 01:48:32.329 know that. 2049 01:48:32.350 --> 01:48:35.619 I didn't know that. Wow. Wow, how about that? Man, 2050 01:48:35.649 --> 01:48:37.090 what a coaching tree Dvorzny's got. 2051 01:48:37.470 --> 01:48:43.850 No kidding. Did

not know about that. Hmm, that's interesting. Yeah. 2052 01:48:44.569 --> 01:48:45.789 Makes a lot of sense, though, doesn't it? 2053 01:48:46.170 --> 01:48:46.869 Yeah. 2054 01:48:48.630 --> 01:48:54.869 Well, how about that? Did not know that. Veterans is 2055 01:48:54.970 --> 01:49:00.010 TCC's homecoming this week. Yep, we knew that. D. Mitch, 2056 01:49:00.510 --> 01:49:05.699 TCC back-to-back. Certainly looking that way. Certainly looking that way. 2057 01:49:06.920 --> 01:49:11.289 Kerry Claverin says, man. It was pork chops and applesauce. 2058 01:49:12.329 --> 01:49:15.149 Pork chops and applesauce. Man, I could use a honey 2059 01:49:15.170 --> 01:49:15.989 bun right about now. 2060 01:49:17.569 --> 01:49:20.189 Now, do you know where pork chops and applesauce comes from, Larry? 2061 01:49:23.609 --> 01:49:24.510 Is this a trick question? 2062 01:49:25.729 --> 01:49:27.010 Well, no. 2063 01:49:27.090 --> 01:49:28.829 Is that like a saying that you're asking me about? 2064 01:49:29.890 --> 01:49:35.369 Not necessarily, but it is an often repeated moment from 2065 01:49:35.949 --> 01:49:37.029 pop culture. 2066 01:49:38.939 --> 01:49:41.159 Oh, I am not familiar with that. Where does it 2067 01:49:41.199 --> 01:49:41.479 come from? 2068 01:49:43.189 --> 01:49:44.510 Man, see, I'm trying to figure out how to tell 2069 01:49:44.529 --> 01:49:46.770 you without telling you. 2070 01:49:47.149 --> 01:49:50.289 So, Justin is saying, yes, supposedly the running back from 2071 01:49:50.329 --> 01:49:52.810 his chair withdrew today and is going to coffee. 2072 01:49:54.489 --> 01:49:55.210 Wow. 2073 01:49:55.510 --> 01:49:57.609 I mean, that is a game changer right there. 2074 01:49:57.630 --> 01:50:01.909 Well, here's the thing about it. Coffee has already got 2075 01:50:01.949 --> 01:50:03.930 that big, bruising running back. 2076 01:50:04.930 --> 01:50:07.850 What Justin is saying, it could be a two-headed running 2077 01:50:07.890 --> 01:50:10.729 attack now because you've got a big, bruising running back 2078 01:50:10.909 --> 01:50:13.260 with this guy that's got some tremendous speed. 2079 01:50:13.920 --> 01:50:16.479 And, boy, let me tell you, the guy at Fitzgerald 2080 01:50:16.720 --> 01:50:20.600 is divine LT or LT divine. I've been talking with 2081 01:50:20.619 --> 01:50:23.680 his dad a good bit. I mean, he is a 2082 01:50:24.140 --> 01:50:28.109 one-man wrecking crew for Fitzgerald, or at least he has been. So, yeah, 2083 01:50:28.149 --> 01:50:31.770 that's going to create quite the formidable pair. And, boy, 2084 01:50:31.789 --> 01:50:37.039 wouldn't it be something to go into TCC with those two, 2085 01:50:37.060 --> 01:50:39.859 that two-headed monster? Hold on a second. 2086 01:50:40.039 --> 01:50:43.460 You're talking about a lightning and thunder combination. 2087 01:50:43.899 --> 01:50:45.659 That's right. All right, so do you know the pork 2088 01:50:45.699 --> 01:50:46.520 chops and applesauce? 2089 01:50:46.899 --> 01:50:48.340 No, no, no. Where does that come from? 2090 01:50:48.800 --> 01:50:52.279 We've got to answer this. Okay, does anybody out there 2091 01:50:52.300 --> 01:50:57.090 know where pork chops and applesauce comes from? 2092 01:50:57.560 --> 01:50:59.369 Is that from a movie or a show? 2093 01:50:59.810 --> 01:51:00.170 A show. 2094 01:51:04.069 --> 01:51:04.869 The Big Bang Theory. 2095 01:51:05.670 --> 01:51:08.810 No, you're not too far. Well, you're only about 30 2096 01:51:08.810 --> 01:51:17.520 years old. Okay. Jerry Claiborne, do you know where it's at? 2097 01:51:18.239 --> 01:51:22.560 Jerry or Jose Badia, anybody? I don't mind the TV 2098 01:51:22.600 --> 01:51:24.500 during meals in the background, but I get on to 2099 01:51:24.520 --> 01:51:26.460 my boys by putting the phone down when we eat. 2100 01:51:26.500 --> 01:51:32.750 That's cool. By the way, J.E. Woods, Brayson. Right, J.E.? J.E.? Yeah. 2101 01:51:33.470 --> 01:51:36.529 So Robbie Hopkins is asking a good question. He's basically 2102 01:51:36.609 --> 01:51:40.250 asking about this player transfer, supposedly transfer, I'll put it 2103 01:51:40.289 --> 01:51:43.189 that way. So how can he play immediately? And this 2104 01:51:43.250 --> 01:51:47.039 applies to anybody. If you have a bona fide move, 2105 01:51:47.159 --> 01:51:52.079 meaning your entire family unit moves from one school district 2106 01:51:52.760 --> 01:52:00.359 to another, they're eligible immediately. That's how you do it. Yeah. 2107 01:52:01.180 --> 01:52:08.609 A bonafide move. Complete family unit. Does anybody want to 2108 01:52:08.770 --> 01:52:12.789 answer the question? Pork chops and applesauce. 2109 01:52:16.010 --> 01:52:17.880 I'm going to Google it. 2110 01:52:18.800 --> 01:52:20.000 No, don't do that. 2111 01:52:20.180 --> 01:52:22.479 Because I've already guessed wrong. I have no idea where 2112 01:52:22.520 --> 01:52:23.000 it comes from. 2113 01:52:23.399 --> 01:52:26.659 Oh, it's the Brady Bunch. Oh. Alice. 2114 01:52:28.479 --> 01:52:30.039 You remember Alice the maid? 2115 01:52:30.060 --> 01:52:30.140 Yeah. 2116 01:52:32.300 --> 01:52:34.189 What years was that on TV, Phil? 2117 01:52:34.930 --> 01:52:38.529 Oh, Larry. The Brady Bunch. 2118 01:52:40.029 --> 01:52:43.569 I know who they are, but I can't remember watching them. 2119 01:52:43.890 --> 01:52:47.369 Well, I'll answer it this way. I know the Brady 2120 01:52:47.430 --> 01:52:50.850 Bunch was very popular when I was in. 2121 01:52:51.300 --> 01:52:54.600 Phil. 2122 01:52:55.239 --> 01:52:55.439 What? 2123 01:52:56.420 --> 01:52:58.779 Man, that show ended when I was four years old. 2124 01:53:01.189 --> 01:53:04.149 Gosh, I got to remember the age difference. 2125 01:53:04.289 --> 01:53:11.310 I'm sorry. Kerry Claiborne got it. Kerry Claiborne, J.E. Woods 2126 01:53:11.369 --> 01:53:14.609 got it. So Mike, the father. 2127 01:53:14.649 --> 01:53:18.399 Goes and asks Alice, Alice, what's for dinner tonight? 2128

They're like, oh, we're having pork chops. And 2133 01:53:36.810 --> 01:53:40.390 I'll say, yeah, you mean pork chops and applesauce? 2134 01:53:40.569 --> 01:53:41.770 And no one gets it, do they? 2135 01:53:42.149 --> 01:53:46.010 They have no idea what I'm talking about. But that 2136 01:53:46.350 --> 01:53:51.090 is something that became like a pop culture icon. 2137 01:53:51.430 --> 01:53:51.909 Sure. 2138 01:53:52.609 --> 01:53:57.529 But listen, Justin Kalahealy said it was from 1915. 2139 01:53:57.529 --> 01:54:01.859 Phil, I'll give you something that's very recognizable from my era. 2140 01:54:02.359 --> 01:54:02.500 Yeah. 2141 01:54:02.520 --> 01:54:02.739 Okay? 2142 01:54:03.399 --> 01:54:04.640 Yeah. Okay. 2143 01:54:04.760 --> 01:54:12.539 Can anybody recognize this phrase? Pivot! Pivot! Do you know 2144 01:54:12.560 --> 01:54:13.539 what I'm talking about? 2145 01:54:13.579 --> 01:54:13.840 Not quite. 2146 01:54:14.399 --> 01:54:15.939 Anybody in the audience know what I'm talking about? 2147 01:54:17.149 --> 01:54:18.069 Yeah, you lost me on that one. 2148 01:54:18.829 --> 01:54:23.630 Yeah, there was a very popular TV series called Friends, right? 2149 01:54:23.949 --> 01:54:24.250 Oh, okay. 2150 01:54:24.449 --> 01:54:27.079 And there was a character on Friends called named Ross, 2151 01:54:27.199 --> 01:54:30.380 and they were moving a couch up a flight of stairs, 2152 01:54:30.880 --> 01:54:33.600 and that was the phrase they got, pivot, pivot. 2153 01:54:36.199 --> 01:54:39.739 But now, all right, so let's go back to that.
